Exarch Arnoth

Exarch Arnoth is a Breton and a high-ranking member of the Scaled Court found in the ruins of Skyreach Hold.

During combat, he summons Power Orbs, glowing orbs of nirncrux energy that must be destroyed before they reach him to prevent him from healing and progressing the nirncrux build-up.

Exarch Arnoth turned feral when empowered by the nirncrux

If Arnoth becomes empowered enough via the orbs, the nirncrux takes him over and turns him feral. He will no longer use his staff abilities, focusing on a more simple and quicker set of attacks which deal direct damage in melee range.

Skills and Abilities

Mage Stance

Flare

Basic ranged attack dealing moderate flame damage.

Fire Rune

Exarch Arnoth shoots out four fireballs from his staff into the air, which then land on the floor of the arena. These form circular AoEs that linger for a long time, enough to still linger on as he casts another four, quickly filling the arena with fire, dealing moderate continuous fire damage. Players should be prepared to move as soon as the attack casts as one rune will always be cast on top of you.

Void/Impending Storm

Exarch Arnoth uses a modified version of the time bomb mage ability. This version will home directly on you instead of landing at a specific location and so must be either dodged or blocked to manage its high magical damage. This skill then sends out magic AoEs across the floor which deal the same magic damage..

Nirnpith Absorption

At 90% health, power orbs will start to appear from the water around the arena and slowly travel to Exarch Arnoth. If they reach him, he is healed for ~50,000 health and it increases his nirncrux empowerement build-up. If five orbs reach him, he transitions into his feral state. They stop appearing when he is in feral state.

Nirncrux Transformation

Exarch Arnoth transforms into a Feral State and casts a last "Void/Impending Storm" which is empowered and deals three times the damage it normally does.

Feral State

Slash

He can be first seen as a projection, talking to Nathrasa Shimmerscale before he disappears.

Exarch Arnoth: "I found it! The source lies deeper inside the ruins. The Nedes truly knew more about this element than anyone alive today."

Nathrasa Shimmerscale: "Excellent! I'll inform Regent Cassipia at once."

Exarch Arnoth: "Not yet. Not until I have something tangible to share with Regent Cassipia."

Nathrasa Shimmerscale: "We have visitors, Exarch Arnoth."

Exarch Arnoth: "I have experiments to conduct. Deal with our uninvited guests as you see fit."

Nathrasa Shimmerscale: "As you command, Exarch Arnoth."

In the final room of Skyreach Hold, he is performing experiments with Nirncrux.

Exarch Arnoth: "What useless fools Regent Cassipia has saddled me with. None of them were able to stop you, were they? Very well. Let's test my newfound power!"

Exarch Arnoth: "I hold in my hands the power of creation! And what can create, can also destroy."

Exarch Arnoth: "Like the Celestials before me, I was mortal and am now something more. Regent Cassipia be damned! I will provide all the power the Serpent needs!"

Exarch Arnoth: "You have failed. The lifeblood of Nirn flows through me. Immeasurable. Uncontrollable. I am becoming … more!"

Exarch Arnoth: "My mortal body is a cage. I will not be anchored to it! More! I need more power!"
