Xobutar commanding his Mimic from behind a gate

Xobutar of His Deep Graces is a Xivkyn necromancer and member of the Coldharbour Elite Guard serving as the secret boss of The Wounding. Defeating him grants a buff that will cause Xobutar to show up as an ally in the boss fight against Iozuzzunth, appearing as a Bound Chillfiend.

Skills and Abilities

At the start of the fight, Xobutar summons a Mimic, before vanishing behind a sealed gate. You can either fight the Mimic or use the portal on the ground to follow Xobutar inside. If the Mimic is dead when Xobutar kicks you out of rooms, another one is spawned.

Entropic Bolt

A basic ranged attack in the form of a blue skull projectile, dealing low magic damage.

Daedric Chains

Xobutar pulls you towards him with a blue magical chain, dealing low magic damage. When you reach the boss, you will be stunned, and need to break free before the boss uses Force Pulse.

Force Pulse

Xobutar channels an incoming blast of necromantic energy, indicated by a large growing red circle. When it peaks, it detonates, dealing high magic damage.

Necrotic Swarm

Xobutar holds his staff up, causing blue necromantic energy to flow forth from the top of it. Daedric Shards occurs at the same time

Daedric Resonance

The moderate damage over time that occurs after a mote of necromantic energy hits you.

Daedric Shards

Lich crystals rise from the ground one after the other, exploding after one second, dealing moderate magic damage each if hit.

Expulse

When Xobutar reaches 50% health, he vanishes into the other sealed room and kicks back out to the main central room where the Mimic is found in. After a short while, the portal leading to Xobutar activates again. This occurs again at 40%.

Summon Totem

Xobutar gains this ability in the second room. He summons two Vampiric Totems, one on each side of the arena. They continuously heal Xobutar while active by large amounts. Standing near them drains your health as well.

Strategy

When the battle begins, his health increases, he summons a Mimic and he teleports behind one of the sealed gates. You do not need to kill the Mimic, and it will stay in the central chamber for the whole fight. For the most part, you can ignore the Mimic and focus on Xobutar. The Mimic will serve you well in allowing you to build up Ultimate so you can drop everything on Xobutar when you get the chance. Ten seconds after the battle starts, the Wounding Portal at the western end of the room activates. Synergize with it to be brought to Xobutar.

Drop your Ultimates and AoEs on Xobutar when you enter his chamber. The first thing he usually does is he either hits you with his staff or immediately pulls you in with Daedric Chains to use Force Pulse. After he uses Force Pulse, he starts using Necrotic Swarm, which causes Daedric Shards to occur. At 55% health, Xobutar has a chance to summon two Vampiric Totems on the left and right sides of the room. If they remain standing by the time Xobutar is 80% through with Necrotic Swarm, they will disappear; each totem you didn't get rid of will restore 10% of Xobutar's health. He can restore up to 20% of his health if those totems are left standing. Furthermore, if you stand in their AoE, your own health will be sapped. You should focus on the totems whenever they come up.

When you bring Xobutar down, a Warrior's Chest appears with your reward inside.

Defeating Xobutar grants you Empowered Teleportation. The Empowered Sigil traps a Xivkyn soul under the influence of the player for a short duration: a Bound Chillfiend will assist you while you're trying to kill the Watchers upstairs during the fight against Iozuzzunth. If you disconnect and have to redo the wounding portals up from Zakuryn's arena again, the Bound Chillfiend will also help you fend off Daedra while you run through those.

Dialogue

When you approach, he says:

"Ah, look. An insect crawls into my lair."

Idling before combat (he says these lines even if you're lying dead on the floor in front of him; he knows you're not permanently dead):

"Your indecision demeans us both."

"My time is not yours to waste!"

"Come now, let us dance!"

Entering combat:

"Shall we begin, then?"

"It has pride after all!"

"Aha! Battle is joined!"

Summoning another Mimic after one has been destroyed:

"Do you trust your eyes?"

Using Daedric Chains:

"Let us grow closer together."

Using Necrotic Swarm:

"Feel the souls of the vanquished!"

Summoning Vampiric Totems:

"I shall drink your vigor!"

Wounding Portal time expires:

"We shall meet again soon!"

If you die, he scoffs.

"Inevitable, really. I have never lost."

"Pick yourself up, now! Let us dance once more!"

"Your easy death shames us both."
