Realistically the Dragonknight will work best for a Main Tank here looking at it from a sustain and survival point of view by being able to block and spam Igneous Shield and using Ultimates for sustain.

The Sorcerer also works great here, but generally you can Tank this on any class but you’ll need a higher level of Tank experience to do it with other classes.

Nord – in vKA the Nord is extremely helpful because being at the resistance cap is very beneficial for this trial.

Imperial – for the overall sustain and lower cost Ultimate, this is a very sustain heavy trial especially the last boss.

Redguard –  for the Stamina sustain if this is something you struggle with, this will be good for roll dodging the last boss and the long block phases.

Argonian –  would be useful also for the potion passive to help with sustain.

The Atronach is the best Mundus to use here because you have to cast a lot of skills often.

If you are not at the resistance cap of 33k because you are not a Nord then you could use The Lady, there are not many places where 33k resistances is necessary but this is one place where it is, especially on Hardmode. It’s not 100% vital but it will help a lot to reduce the incoming damage, the only problem is you will lose a lot of Magicka sustain by dropping The Atronach.

64 Health is advised here as you want 45k+ Health along with 20k+ Magicka and 27k+ Stamina

As standard we use the Bewitched Sugar Skulls which gives us Max Health, Magicka and Stamina plus more Health Recovery which is helpful here.

There are no special requirements on Potions here, standard Tri-Stat potions will work perfectly.
