Location: The Shrouded Axeman is the second secret boss in the Shipwright’s Regret Dungeon in ESO. This one is pretty tough as the arena you fight in is pretty small and there is a lot of AoE damage and explosions going on.
To find the Axeman you will have go through the Waterfall on the right side after you killed the first main boss (Foreman Bradiggan). You can also watch the video timestamp to find the location if the image isn’t enough help.
The tank has to be careful, the heavy attack that the Shrouded Axeman charges deals insane damage. Preferably you should try to dodge roll it to avoid all the damage. His light attack doesn’t deal that much damage.
You will also see that the boss spawns dogs that jump at you and explode, make sure not to stack the explosion damage on top of each other, otherwise you will die. The boss also disappears from time to time and lets 4 ghosts spawn that you have to interrupt. Once interrupted, the boss will come back and channel an attack. Once the channeling ends all the AoEs on the ground will explode, make sure to not stand in any of them.
After defeating the Shrouded Axeman you will get the “Shroud of Axeman” buff:
The Shrouded Axeman is the second mini-boss in this dungeon and you will find him by turning towards a waterfall from the way to the last boss. You will see a ghost of an axeman to your right and then you have to go through the waterfall to get to a mill and a graveyard where the Shrouded Axeman will be waiting for you.
The Shrouded Axeman definitely packs a punch and should be aggroed by the tank. His Heavy Attack hits really hard and should either be blocked or dodge-rolled. Right at the beginning, the boss will spawn two dogs that will attack a random player. Do not stand together during this fight. If you do, these dogs will be able to kill the entire group. After a while he will disappear and summon four shades of him, which will all four be casting powerful ground AoEs. Kill these shades as fast as possible! When the axeman returns he will explode all remaining AoEs, so make sure not to stand in them.
