Orchendor is a mage encountered in the quest The Only Cure and has taken up residence in Bthardamz. He is also mentioned in the Afflicted's Note found in the upper portion of Bthardamz.

Quest Edit

Orchendor was a priest of Peryite, aiding him in spreading disease and creating the Afflicted. He eventually decided to cease working for the Daedric Prince, which prompted Peryite to seek the Dragonborn's help in ridding Nirn of the unfaithful priest. He resides deep within Bthardamz.

TacticsEdit

Orchendor utilizes standard Destruction spells, favoring frost, and has a great deal of staying power. When cornered or sufficiently injured, he will teleport (becoming temporarily invulnerable) to a nearby space or even to another tier of the same room. In addition, Orchendor is completely immune to fire, frost, and shock spells, as well as absorption effects; physical weapons are recommended. Beast Form is also quite strong against him, although he may die while teleporting, which causes him to disappear.

He is immune to Ice Form and Paralyze, which would stop him from teleporting all over the room. Also he can kill Atronachs very quickly, but could be advantageous to gain some resting time. Summon Arniel's Shade becomes very useful in this situation

If the player has an invisibility potion and the Assassin's Blade skill, sneak behind Orchendor and use a strong dagger or dual wield two daggers and use the power swing with both of them. Even if you don't have two daggers, a sword and a dagger would do.

If the player can make use of the Dead Thrall spell, Orchendor is an excellent reanimation candidate and one of a few very powerful Thrall options.

If its too difficult to beat him conventionally due to being a destruction mage, simply lead him back through the dungeon until the study area is reached, where he can be killed using the floor traps. However, this area is two subsections away from the room where he is first found and it is possible that Orchendor will kill the player before reaching it.

Using the Conjuration spell to summon 2 Dremora Lords is the most effective way for a mage. Summon them, then hide behind the wall and he'll likely be dead in a minute.
