MarkInMKUK Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Longest fight ever? Probably doesn't really count, but... I had a full FCOM install setup, and had fast-travelled with a level 1 character to Bruma while testing a mod. Ran out to Dragonclaw rock, set in God mode, and was surprised by an ogre colossus. Now, having got OOO/MMM/Frans/Warcry/kitchen sink installed, I'd picked up some handy gas arrows on my way out of the tutorial dungeon (shot a night blade a few times in the dark). Well, the arrow took him down - 500 seconds paralysisStarted hacking450 secs later - no health bar change. Shot another arrow, switched to the level 1 Flash spell - that actually started to nibble away at his health. 8 arrows later, he finally expired. Oh, and just for fun one of those dratted conjurers turned up after a couple of arrows, and he and his imp were blasting it too - when it died they both turned on me instantly - one arrow and >gone< at 450+ secs per arrow, that was about 1 hour 15 minutes targeting a stunned heap to kill it, WITH a "companion" conjurer and summoned imp!

DrunkenGamer Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Umbra with difficulty at 50% and OOO installed. Towards the end of the fight (a good 2 hours) I realized that switching to a magical weapon helped quite a bit, instead of constantly using my Fine Steel Claymore.

MarkInMKUK Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Drunken Gamer - if I remember rightly, a little shock damage (well, ok, a heck of a lot of shock damage) really helps with Umbra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenGamer Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah, well, I only switched weapons after I started to get tired of it.But thanks, I'll keep that in mind for later encounters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AurianaValoria1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hmm...my longest fight was probably with a Xivilai in a random Oblivion gate. I remember I had an enchanted ebony longsword. Unfortunately, the enchantment had no effect on the Xivilai whatsoever, and the more I hit the more my weapon's health went down. The Xivilai's health wasn't deteriorating nearly as fast as I wanted! Meanwhile, his summoned Clannfear kept knocking me backwards, so I barely had time to recover and take a few more swings before I was knocked for a loop again. Finally, my sword broke, and I was punching the thing with my bare fists. I eventually killed him, but my health had to be down to less than 100 -- I was somewhere around level 20. I had to rest for 48 hours straight to get my health back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faceshifter Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Training my Block-Skill on the rats in the basement of that dark elf woman in Anvil, it takes a frigging while. Did my homework then.No, the longest real fight I remember was in Kvatch, I finally dared to do the main quest after my character got to level 24. I entered the second part of town, with the arena.Of course, Savlian Mattus wasn't of much use after the first fight, his health dropped to below normal and the other guards, well, they stood no chance against 4 Xivilai, 2 Storm Atronach and 4 Dremora Valkynaz.One Atronach went down by their combined forces, and then they perished. Savlian Mattus was more dead then alive during the remainder of the fight, so I stood alone against the horde.And believe me, being staggered is the largest problem in melee combat ;) Edited March 10, 2011 by Faceshifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcinosER Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Uhh I spawned(yep I'm a cheater) a horde of nearly 100 minotaurs and I fought them with a dagger... 1dmg per hit. Jesus it was sooo boring. At 67(counted) my game crashed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinrocks Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 gone to hand to hand, really gets the fights exciting, Umbra hand to sword was insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axxaw Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Tyreal! *shakes fist* Yeah Frostcrag Reborn was kind of crazy. Two hours of fighting, and I was literally a god against everything else in the game. However that final boss for Frostcrag was just painful.

I was high enough so that the majority of the enemies were flame atronachs and clanfears, with some of those daedra spellcasters who look like Darth Maul in the black robes as well. The defenders were totally demolished, and the clanfears were tearing me apart, I had to hide in a crevice where the enemies could only approach me single file and beat them back slowly but surely. I died many, many times, I shall never wait that long before starting the main quest again. My first playthrough of the MQ, I did that part when it was all scamps and much easier foes, it was far less painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
