Draugr Elite has 200 health and spawns in the swamps.
It resists fire; poison does nothing to it at all. Blunt, slash and pierce land at full damage, so that is what to bring.
Its only attack is sword, 58 slash.
Of everything craftable,
Frostfire Crossbow,
Thunderblood Crossbow and
Lightning Strike put the most damage through what it resists.
It always drops
Entrails.
Draugr Elite is the purple-eyed veteran of the Undead line, spawning only at night and always with a sword. It has 200 health to a common
Draugr's 100, runs at 6 rather than 5, and keeps the same fire resistance and poison immunity. Its only attack is a 58 slash horizontal swing through a 2.2 meter 90 degree arc every 4 seconds. It drops 2 to 3
Entrails and a 10%
Draugr Elite Trophy.
Treat them like a wall: parry or do not engage in melee at all. Poison does nothing and fire is muted, so hit them with what your weapon rack actually says, and never fight two in a doorway.
| Where | Roll | Group | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swamp | 5% every 300 s, max 1 near you | 1 | night only · altitude -1.5 to 10 m |
Each 64 m zone keeps its own timer per entry and rolls the chance once per interval while loaded; a zone never loaded before rolls the moment you arrive. The spawn lands 40 to 80 m from a player, never inside a base unless noted, and "max near you" counts the loaded area around that zone. Dungeon and camp spawners are separate and not counted here.
With devcommands enabled, this spawns Draugr Elite in front of you. The third number is the level: 3 spawns a 2-star.
