Related Quests[edit]

Skills and Abilities[edit]

He is accompanied by four weak Nighthollow Husks

Void Bolt
A basic ranged ability that deals high magic damage.
Aspect of Terror
The enemy casts a spell that fears you for a short time, temporarily preventing you from moving or performing any actions. This effect passes through block, but you can break free from it. This spell can be avoided using roll dodge or interrupted to knock the enemy off balance.
Clever Bat Swarm
A large circular AoE appears around Idrisin. The area will be filled with red mist and bats, which follows you around the room and deals damage over time.
Summon Dark Shade
The enemy summons a Dark Shade of itself to attack. The shade's attacks inflict Minor Maim, reducing your damage done by 15% for 4 seconds. The Dark Shade also uses Corrode, an attack which deals low magic damage. It will either die when the caster does or after a set amount of time.
Creeping Pools
Idrisin raises his staff, which releases Void energy. This causes an explosion in three locations, leaving three circular AoEs that deal moderate Oblivion damage over time when you stand in them.
Grasping Void
If you stand in one of Idrisin's Creeping Pools after two seconds have passed, a shadowy hand comprised of green Void energy picks you and then slams you into the ground.

When he reaches 40% health, he summons four more weak Nighthollow Husks.

Quest-Related Events[edit]

Lord Idrisin in the auramancy visions

As you delve deeper inside the Nighthollow Keep with Count Verandis Ravenwatch you can observe visions from the past. Idrisin appears in some of them. During the first vision he can be observed talking with Lady Belain:

Lord Idrisin: "A gift for me, my love?"
Lady Belain: "I have chosen. Tonight, you and Rhainne will drink from the Dark Heart."
Lord Idrisin: "I have longed for this moment, my lady."
Lady Belain: "Soon you will be a lord of the Nighthollow clan. One of my chosen!"

He also appears in the second vision:

Lord Idrisin: "We broke through. The way to the Dark Heart is open. "
Lady Belain: "But the Heart falters. Something is wrong."
Lady Rhainne: "The damn Dwarves! If they depleted its energy …."
Lady Belain: "Seal the Dark Halls. Until the Heart recovers, only those who bear the sign of the inner circle may partake of its gifts."

He also appears during the fourth vision:

Lord Idrisin: "Belain, we're dying. There's nothing you can do. "
Lady Belain: "I refuse to accept that, Idrisin. But one of us must remain strong to save the others."
Lady Belain: "I will take the remaining energy from the Dark Heart. It will sustain me until I determine how to make it beat again."
Lord Idrisin: "No, Belain. You know blood no longer sustains us. If you take the last of the Heart's energy, the rest of us will starve … ."

He can be found in person in the last chamber of the Nightollow Keep, where the Dark Heart is located. When his health reaches 40%, he'll say:

Lord Idrisin: "The power! I waited centuries for the Dark Heart to beat once more!"

When he dies, he will speak his last words aloud:

Lord Idrisin: "Lady Belain … I failed you …."
