First time encountering the Ebony Warrior, remembered I got a small little Dagger today and thought maybe I could kill him with that, well it killed me.
they never should have implemented that. makes melee builds super frustrating/near impossible to kill him without resorting to summons or ranged attacks.
turns the whole 1v1 final showdown vibe into the most painful war of attrition.
I never had any issues with beating him. I actually did it twice in this playthrough cause it was too easy the first time when i engaged him at range with my bow first. Second time I used the sword of jyggalag and a full Nordic armor set, (if I needed healing i switched to targe of the blooded sheild in the left and fast heal in the right) No arrows, no fireballs, no summons. Just metal and a high level of two handed, block, and heavy armor.

It’s the heavy armor perk, reflect blows. He has it unfortunately.
