None of the Daedric Princes can actually be killed. It won't matter how powerful the heroes are if they were to challenge these beings in their own Planes of Oblivion, anyway...all hope is lost when facing a Daedric Prince within their own realm. Not true.

The Vestige almost killed Molag Bal in his own realm, Coldharbour, until Meridia intervened.

Also, Daedric Princes can be destroyed inside their own realms. It's just unbelievably hard to do so, as their realm is the place where they're the most powerful beings. Sorry, but that's wrong. All the Vestige did was cause Molag Bal to release many of the souls (include his/her own) from his control.

Molag Bal is "wounded" by the divine power given to the Soulless One, forcing him to release many souls. Even then, he doesn't at all act like he's defeated.

If it was actually possible to "kill" a Daedric Prince, it would've been done then and there after Molag Bal was weakened.

Jyggalag wouldn't still be around for one thing, as the very reason Sheogorath is even around is due to the other Daedric Princes teaming up against him so long ago, trying to destroy him but being unable to do so.

Don't bother insinuating that Mehrunes Dagon could be "killed" either just through exploiting in-game scripting. The Vestige managed to almost defeat Molag Bal, which is why Molag couldn't hold unto the souls anymore and 'had' to release them (although it was more forceful).

And no, it was the Vestige who wounded Molag Bal because he was made much more powerful than he used to be through Akatosh's *power*, which might actually be according to one of my theories a dragon soul.

There's a finite, and calculatable possibility that you wake up on Mars tomorrow. The possibility exists, but it's EXTREMELY small (you would most likely have to wait 13 billion years until something like that would happen). The same thing also counts for defeating a Daedric Prince in his own realm. The possibility of doing so exists, but the chance to succeed at it is extremely small due to their omnipotence within their own realms.

Buddy, I've been on this Wiki and the Bethesda Forums for almost a year now. I've made several lore theories, I'm one of the most accountable lore experts here. I know that game mechanics =/= lore. Why?

Because the Thu'um is described as being able to blast entire cities away in lore, but can at maximum only ragdoll giants across a few meters in-game. It's obvious Bethesda only made that due to gameplay reasons. And that's only one of the many reasons why game mechanics/play does not equal lore.
