not that it is hard to kill Gothren

1 Strike Kill

Gothren carries quite a few potions, and so probably what you’re witnessing is him healing via said potions. He eventually runs out of them of course, but it makes him annoying to deal with if you cannot finish him off quickly.

I mean he straight up heals every time I hit him, like the exact chunks. From there i decided just to save and experiment with him because ive just never seen anything like it, i thought maybe since i was using a bound weapon he was absorbing the magic from it but i found no sort of function from any absorption spells, of which id see an equal effect on my own hp. I can get him to a little below half with buffing like crazy and taking out his dremoras in a couple hits, it just bewilders me that his own insane spell can just trump anything i throw at him even with god spells and console commands. ive honestly just become more intrigued than pissed because ive never seen a bug like this before. Unless the wiki/fandom pages are somehow unfinished and google is just complete bogus like its been the last 7 years

Edit: and just to specify i tried charged attacks, uncharged, rapid hits to just try and stunlock or just trying to max out one single hit to 1 shot him but to no avail, the damage he heals is directly correlated to the strength and frequency of my attacks

i still do not know why you should kill Gothren

so - what is the best Way to be Arch Master - and Boss of Mages and Telvanni

"This isn't much of a surprise if you're familiar with Trebonius;
he seems a bit light headed to be head of the Guild.
There are two ways of doing this: peacefully or by a duel to the death.

all there seems - get Boss of Magues and Telvanni
kill Trebenious

Magicka resistance has no effect on paralysis in unmodified Morrowind.

As for the healing = damage and recovery from paralysis, I assume you're playing a completely vanilla game?

Sorry, forgot to respond to your question, I didnt know you could even get Gothren to agree to let you be hortator for the fourth trial. I know you can skip it all by getting to level 20 and im level 19 right now, I just dont feel like farming reputation for a day.

The only mods i have are script extender and the unofficial patch along with the whole visual overhaul (been like 3 years since i installed it, kinda forgot the specifics but didnt start playing much til recently with no issue up till him). I wouldnt think the patches would do the opposite or anything, i made sure all my mods would uphold the vanilla experience minus some of the more annoying and prominent bugs with npcs and states of characters or quests

In vanilla enemy hp bar updates only when you attack the target, so when enemies heal this is gonna look like this. You don't see the actual healing, only updated hp as you attack

You can't get Gothren to agree. Gothren, much like House Redoran's Venim, will never let you be Hortator. He has to die unless you do the reputation skip. If you're doing the House Telvanni quest line, you'll have to kill him anyway.

Trebonius, leader of the Mage's Guild, can be convinced to step aside and allow you to be the new Arch-Mage of the Mage's Guild. He has nothing to do with either the main quest line or House Telvanni's, until after both the main quest and solving the mystery of the dwarves, where he has you kill all the Telvanni councilors.
----

Gothren should only have the 3 healing potions, which will restore up to 300 health. Paralysis doesn't stop potion use. If you do something that damages his health or endurance, his healing shouldn't matter. Reflect could also cause him to kill himself with his scrolls of hellfire.

There's three different quests to kill gothren. First is the main quest, in order to be named telvanni hortator you need to kill him as he won't accept you. (You can bypass all of the hortator quests if you have a reputation of over 50).

Second is to become leader of telvanni you must kill him.

Third is the optional quest for trebonius, if you solve the disappearance of the dwemer he gives you a quest to kill all the telvanni councillors.

ok - so if you want to do all Quests - with all Prices
you have to kill him for all Quests - with the right Timing

that is very late in Game
at this Time you should be able to kill him 1 Strike

they even tell you some tricks

"If you have the means, command one of the Dremora protecting Gothren.
This way, Gothren will kill it for you while still taking damage himself from his own ally."

"Gothren has a spell called Gothren's Gout that paralyzes while damaging you,
so some equipment that resists paralyzation or gear that gives 100% magicka resistance
is helpful. If you get a few good surprise hits in with a powerful weapon,
or paralyze him, he won't have much time to cast anything."
