I find it amusing that If you can defeat him, you probably won't need him. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for bringing him down. Still my fave boss, but even so.

Add some fire runes and exploding spiders of fire around too, if you can that is. Also a wall of fire staff or spell to help deal dmg while setting them up again durning combat. Bring lots of potions, and I mean a lot as you will need them. If you're on master or higher have fun getting killed....a lot...try not to rage. I would also recomend taking him on in master to really make the fight stand out in your mind. It's well worth it
Bring a whole bunch of followers, whether they're glitched, or just from incomplete quests. That, or find a spot where you can climb out of reach and use a lot of fire spells.
This can be done -- activate the skull then go back outside. It takes some perserverance, but it is possible to jump up to the top of the rocky walls enclosing this area. There are two ledges within which make for good ranged attack platforms. Best thing is Karstaag has no ranged attacks to return fire. Hey, I'm a Wizard -- we're mean't to use our smarts!
After defeating Karstaag I got the loot (10 ectoplasm). I can't find the Summon Karstaag thing though. Nothing in Conjuration, nothing in Shouts.
Could it be you guys completly ignored the actual topic? It's not about how to defeat Karstaag but how usefull the spell to summon him then is.
Just noticed the necromancy though...
Should be in powers.
I find the best use for karstaag is to defete the Ebony warrior. It really shows him his place "Oh I have done every thing now that I am bored I will kill you, for no apperent reason other than boredome." Then oh well let me introduce you to karstaag you have not defeted him yet.
Once I get to him, I'll use Dragonhide and Bones of the Earth while dual slashing with two Dragonbone swords upgraded with top fortify smithing gear&potions. 100% magic res and 80% spell absorb should help, too. I plan to kill him on legendary difficulty.
