Boss Fight

Rash Aul Ghuul is broken up into 8 phases.

Phase 1
Very simple, 1 on 1 fight where he will periodically summon beings from the netherworld to help him. His arsenal of
summons is vast and has a huge pool of mana so do not try to drain him. Bring magic buffs and magic resistant gear
may help you get through this fight. He also casts fireball frequently with a huge hit and also does a wall of storms
with the Adkara. Once Rash Aul ghuul reaches 75% health, Phase 2 starts.

Phase 2
Rash Aul Ghuul teleports to a perch overlooking the chamber, pulling in power from the netherworld and summons in a
Thrall of Draugr. * draugr in total, kill them off to start phase 3

Phase 3
Rash Aul Ghuul Teleports back in but to the oposite side of the chamber from where you came. This is another hack and
slash phase similiar to phase 1 but he will randomly reanimate the dead to help him in his fight and also use his
arsenal of summons, spells and the adkara. Once he reaches 50% health phase 4 starts.

Phase 4
Rash Aul Ghuul Once again teleports out to a perch overlooking the chamber, pulling in power from the netherworld and
summons in 4 Dragon priests who are very familiar to the player. These 4 Dragon Priests are the same from the 8 total
from throughout Skyrim. They are only reanmimated and not as powerful without their masks, but have similiar spells
as Rash Aul Ghuul. Quickly kill them off one by one before they overwhelm you. Once these priests are killed, phase 5 begins.

Phase 5
Rash Aul Ghuul teleports back in towards the end of the chamber you came in. he has the same powers and spells as Phase 1 and
3, But randomly teleports between 6 locations through the chamber once he is hit. 4 of these locations are on perches out
of melee reach and 2 on the ground within reach. To force him out of the perches to teleport to another location, hit him
with an arrow or any other long distance capability. Once He reaches 25% health, Phase 6 begins.

Phase 6
Rash Aul Ghuul Teleports out onto a perch again, summoning in the remaining Dragon Priests. Kill them to initiate phase 7.

Phase 7
Rash Aul Ghuul teleports back in, same as phase 1 and 3. Fight him until he reaches 5%, phase 8 begins.

Phase 8
Rash Aul Ghuul will teleport to the end of the room with the throne. He will throw up a barrier and start syphoning power
from the Adkara on the table. Strike the Adkara with a melee weapon, Which will stop his syphoning, and banish him to Oblivion.
Once Rash Aul Ghuul is defeated, the doors will open up allowing the player to exit to the rear. Grab the key and read the book.

dragon priest mural leading out of the chamber.

way bback to the Castle grounds. Once you enter the basement stairwell cell, you will meet a ghost who will escort you back to
the castle grounds. Once you reach the castle grounds he will escort you to the castle entrance. Once He arrives at the entrance

in the chair, guarding the castle. Go inside the castle and place the Adkara on the altar in the center of the room. It will
unlock the castle, letting you gain access to all the rooms. Once you explore the major areas of the castle, the quest will complete,
