Monstrous Sabretooth (it one hit killed me whilst wearing godbreaker armour, so if I see one of these I’ll avoid it like the plague)
Rotbranch (If it gets past my shield, I go flying and get decimated by either it’s vines attack or it’s spinning attack can kill, it killed my beast master teimos quickly).
Corrupted Wolf (Nasty things, attack very fast and leave little opening to do anything, take sizeable chunks of health)
Honourable mention: Giant Snake (These also attack me fast and have rubber necks that let them attack from any direction at long range, often avoiding my shield, I really don’t like fighting these, not solo at least)
Another honourable mention, the ritual keeper in the sunken city, she was a hard hitter with the daggers of dagon.
So the first one is my nemesis , Rockslide … I killed him the most times out of my top 3 but never, I repeat never died easily and especially at the beginning in purges it was very bloody.
The second is Arena Champion , she wiped out our whole clan (then newbies) in the first encounter , she has fallen to my sword a few times since but I tend to avoid her - unnecessary risk for practically zero gain
Third is Thaag, I just don’t like him (solo), but he’s pretty easy to kill in a team
Worst enemies are the ones that created mostly from badly performance or lags. Every Enemy has a pattern an AI, that if you learn it, is no problem anymore. Then again all the opponents had an op period that’s passed now.
So i will mention the opponents that managed to kill me more all the years i play this game.
Number 3 giant snake ! It took me years to understand the pattern even if it is by far the simplest this game has. So i was just afraid of it too much to encounter it with bravery, i was using cunning.
Number 2, rockslide. Like giant snake it took me years to understand the pattern and defeat it without shield. This boss still remains the most difficult this game has. Yet it’s not the most fatal.
Number 1 Cooks! I count endless deaths from cooks, these bloody daggers coming from behind on npc camps has killed me more than anything in this game.
It’s not the most scary but surely the most deadly of all times for me.
I like fighting against corrupted wolves and monstrous sabertooths, they make me feel they are predators, worthy opponents.
I hate fighting the king rhino and the giant croc because they are so wonky, you get in the middle of them (or they push your slaves underground).
Third is… enemies woth maces now. They seemingly have way bigger reach than their weapons’ model.
Out of memory crashes. Nothing has killed me by leaving me vulnerable to hostile npc’s, falling, and drowning than those. I don’t believe it’s Xbox One causing them either, as the only other place they happen is in Tera’s online store.
I don’t know where I’d place these in relation to each other, but the top three for me would be the Giant Snake, Dracosaurus (the bone dragon in the Warmaker’s dungeon, not the arena one), and on occassion the corrupted hyena. That last one isn’t really that hard. But your butt puckers up when you attack or get attacked by a hyena that has glowing eyes early in a new playthrough.
Rotbranch/Rockslide doesn’t really bother me, you pretty much kill these without a thrall and without taking a hit by using a mount.
Some honorable mentions are the Fishman boss, Hyperborean Witch Queen, and Alaric the Icy from Savage Wilds. The fishman boss has a extremely high damage attack that is hard to see coming. The Witch Queen is basically a supped up arena champion with daggers, so you take massive per hit in heavy epic armor. Alaric the Icy is pretty nasty since he has a debuffing aura that puts you to 50% corruption as well as being quite hard to fight.
The black rabbits in Age of Calamitous get a mention too. These things do zero damage on their own, but have aggressive AI that causes them to run up to you and stand next to what you are fighting. They have like 5hp so a single hit, even accidental will kill them. This causes a green plague mist to spread rapidly which causes poison stacks quickly, each stack does like 100+ damage a second.
Is it the ritual keeper in the sunken city? (Lumerian royal armour and daggers) I think she’s different to the queen boss you mention. But she was kinda rough to fight.
Only Thag, because for some reason, FC went with the MMO telegraphed attacks using danger zone mechanics and swarming a player with adds as artificial difficulty.
Same, the Arena Champion. She killed my best thrall (a berserker with somehow better stats than my Dalinsias), then one hit killed me.
After respawning, I barely managed to save my second thrall, which thankfully was a named porter with extra health bonuses, and was by that time already on the verge of death. She is so traumatizing
Rotbranch was too hard for me before, but since sorcery was introduced, I spam him with the Storm spell while running around, he just dies lol.
All of my top 3 are modded enemies… none of the vanilla ones have ever put me off tackling them just cause I can.
Of the modded ones I’ve fought 3 come to mind that I’d rather not fight unless I need something from them and those are Death Knight, Cerberus, and Shiva.
