Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. From what you've said, it's looking like something is wrong with the game. If I'm face-to-face with a level-20 demon, I lose every time and by a substantial margin. I mean when I die the demon is depleted by perhaps one-third of its hitpoints. I have a lot of saves, so I went back and it seems that when I don't take out the nests, there are fewer flying demons. I'm going to try it from here. I have dragon skill book that I use before the battle. I put it into Spirit for the protection, but maybe I'll take a "friend" and see how that works. I'm going to need something unconventional. This is really an odd situation. It's not a complete bug, where NO damage is done, but there's almost none which is worse in a way because I won't just walk away from it if there's a chance to beat it with enough perseverance. I appreciate the collection of responses. It helps to see some other points of views and experiences. This is one game where I'm glad I didn't go by the reviews. I like this game a lot, and this is coming from a Bethesda fan. I've been reading the forum for tips and it's run quite well, also. I'm giving Zagan the rest of the night and if I don't win by then I'm moving on. It's not part of the main quest and I'll get it next playthrough. Thanks again for the help.
Whew! I beat the #@$^$%#!!*(%# Amazing how personal this gets. Anyway, I had to go back to an earlier save and come into the cave. I took out the two nests immediately, so the number of flying demons would be minimal. Only then could I concentrate on Zagan. It was still a terribly buggy fight - I'd pause in the air and be unable to move, the flying demons had a lot more firepower than I did, etc. Still, I'm outta there and glad to be gone.
