Matriarch Lladi Telvanni is the final boss in Bal Sunnar. In Veteran mode she has 6.8 million health.
On Veteran difficulty this fight isn't too difficult, however Hardmode adds a couple of extra things which can complicate it a little. First we'll go through the mechanics that are present in Veteran mode.
Matriarch Lladi Telvanni Mechanics
Matriarch Lladi Telvanni has the following mechanics that you need to watch out for:
Vomit Cone
She will often target the tank with a very wide and very long vomit attack cone. This will follow the tank around so they should face away from the group and stay as still as possible when this is happening. Ideally the tank should stay fairly close to the edge of the arena with their back to the wall, giving the rest of the group as much space as possible to move around.
Poison Storm
At 70% and 35%, the boss will fill the room with a huge poison AOE that deals damage to everyone. You'll need to heal through this for a few seconds, after which a synergy will appear that gets rid of the poison and stops time, stunning the adds for a few seconds. The adds take more damage when this is active, so you may find it useful to save your ultimates and drop them on the adds after using the synergy.
Poison Storm mechanic with Time Stop AOE
Peryite's Glory
These are green blobs that look the same as the Voriplasm adds found in some other dungeons and locales in ESO. The tank should taunt these, and ideally they should die in cleave damage from the DDs. However if your AOE damage is quite low then you might want to focus them down to make sure that they aren't too much of a resource drain for the tank.
Matriarch Lladi Telvanni Hardmode Mechanics
Boss health: 10.1 million health.
On hardmode, the adds that spawn during the Poison Storm phase will be invulnerable to damage unless they are currently stunned by the time stop synergy, rather than just getting damage resistance. This makes it more important to kill the adds quickly, saving ultimates if necessary.
There's also one more mechanic that is activated in Hardmode:
Skeevers
On Hardmode, the boss will sometimes spawn a Skeever. The Skeever will be locked on to attack a specific player, indicated by a red rune floating above that player. If the Skeever reaches the player, they will be hit with a nasty debuff.
If you're targeted by the Skeever, you can try to kite away from it to buy more time for the DPS players to kill it. The tank can also help you out by utilizing Crowd Control abilities like Unrelenting Grip and Choking Talons (taunts won't work).
