He aims at removing the Dragon Staff from the portal and stop you from going through it.

What’s interesting, the priest would probably be completely defenceless in this case.

Nahkriin is also capable of calling in subordinates, inter alia a Storm Atronach.

If you want to make the battle any easier, consider hiding behind the columns.

The two beasts mentioned above, ablood dragonbreathing fire and afrost dragonthat will be using ice-based attacks.

They’re best fought using ranged attacks, using the pillars as cover (screen above).

After you defeat both beasts, be sure to absorb their souls and loot their corpses.
