Defeating Umbra at Level 1 (Morrowind)

We try our best to defeat Umbra in Morrowind! Can we accomplish it at Level 1? Do we prepare for the fight adequately? Will Umbra be harder then Vivec? Maybe...

Beat Umbra at level 5 in Oblivion thanks to the atronach sign. It negated 50% of umbra's sword strike while recharging my magic. This allowed me to continuously heal through the fight.

[@dimpledchimpy1106]

I beat her around that level with spells. She's a high elf so she's vulnerable to them

[@etherraichu]

I beat Umbra at level 1 in Oblivion. Here's how: I went to her ruin thing, and shot her with an arrow. Then I ran like hell, she followed. I swam across the water back to the imperial city and hopped on top of the roofs in the Waterfront district. I bounced around on them because she'd eventually be able to hit me if I stood still. Guard after guard came out and tried to attack her, i'd get in shots with the occasional arrow if I could. I think it took about half an hour.

what i love about umbra is that everything he said he did in his life is actually believable. the dude is a one-man army by base game morrowind standards and could probably kill the tribunal and dagoth ur easily if he ever felt so inclined. compare with sjoring hard-heart, "one of the strongest men in morrowind", i've fought reanimated bones tougher than him.

[@anubis63000jd]

I'm pretty sure "Umbra" is the sword. People take it on as an identity. Might be related to the "soul strap" enchant on it. From a lore point of view.

[@Hestaka]

Umbra is the sword but eventually consumes the mind of whoever wields it and absorbs their consciousness it is basically the combined souls of all its wielders making a new entity known as "Umbra" it's why it uses the name.

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

Umbra is based on Stormbringer from Elric of Melnibone.

Actually in house where Creeper is you can get few pieces of an Orcish Armor. These are in the box placed on the last floor. Orcs actually don't give a damn about those items

[@JulianSloman]

A shame he hasn't discovered Soul Trap and spell making yet.

[@gb9884]

All you do to get to umbra is use the standard rising force potion that you find in the adamasartus bandit cave near sedya neen. Go to suran and head to the outside door on the top level of the slave master house and levitate diagonally to the left over the hill and there's umbra. You can even cheese him by shooting arrows at him on the hill behind where he stands and he can't attack you.

[@SimoExMachina2]

Conjuration + Bound Long Bow + a large stack of arrows (Fighter's Guild offers them like free candy) works wonders. In the vanilla version you could also make a Calm Humanoid 1p spell (long duration) to completely pacify him. This way you could attack him without him even trying to attack back. Some of patches fixes the exploit with Calm effects, but back in the day, you could go crazy with them.

[@HamTheBacon]

[@JohnvFf-ub5yk]

I'm alittle late and you probably know this now. But the sujamma seller with the restocking inventory can buy all your sujammas and add it to their restocking inventory. So with a little time of buying and selling sujamma she'll always stock more than you'd ever need.

[@otherkrabs]

Pro tip: If you go to Ald'Ruhn, in the guard towers some of the crates/barrels have a full set of bonemold in them that you can take without any bounty

When I was a kid I would start a lot of games by stealing a bunch of arrows and levitating onto a rock and VERY slowly killing him.

[@ChonkyChonker]

not the orc is called umbra its the sword it posses him

[@bulletmog]

If you want to get op at level 1, the best way I’ve found is to first get the ebony from the mine near balmora, then go to ebonheart and start tribunal, then you do this quest(forgot the name) where that person kills the high ordinator in godsreach, unlocking the door with ekash’s lock splitter, then finally getting a daedric dai katana from the egg mine near mount assarnibibi (I think that’s how you spell it)

[@needparalegal]

Orcs are the toughest opponent in this game. Did they put more into their AI programming, they don't die easily like every other thing in Morrowind. A level 1 can farm Golden Saints like they are popcorn.

All your Morrowind videos are giving me the itch to play again. I used to play it on the Xbox, it took a while to load some stuff and it would crash every so often but boy did I enjoy every second I played. I might have to buy on Steam soon.

[@Kazgrel]

I managed to pull this feat off eons ago before KZbin existed, lol. Made an argonian warrior to max out the polearm skill as much as I could, then picked up a few Steel Halberds in Ald'Rhun (I think that's how it's spelled) and some kind of throwable/ranged weapon. Got up on the rocks behind where Umbra stands, used ranged attack to aggro him, then stood just out of his reach up on the rocks and poked him to death. Took like 20 damn minutes and broke 2 of the halberds in the process, but I had his sword at level 1 afterwards. Yeah, it's incredibly cheesy/exploity but given the ass beating he can dish out, I consider it evening the odds, lul

[@fooball4589]

I know you always bring up the woman who sells sujamma, but did you know that in Ald Daedroth there's a non hostile scamp who gives away free sujamma? If you want to save money or you need a LOT it might be worth it to go there instead. Only do this after doing a certain quest (spoiler warning below) *Spoiler*: When you get to the Ahmemmusa nerevarine quest and have to make Ald Daedroth safe, the worshippers of Sheogorath at the very end of the shrine in the antechamber will actually be non-aggressive, and you can ask them for mercy on the Ahmemmusa, which they will grant, Then you can get your free Sujamma at any time. You also get the Gambolpuddy here, which can be taken as an artifact or used in the four corners quest for the temple.

[@kenzie4217]

I love how anticlimactic these videos are. Micky spends like 2 hours fighting someone before realizing you just gotta use a fuckton of exploits

[@craigblack7076]

I would always buy hundreds of arrows and climb upon the rock behind Umbra and kill him. He usually can't get up the sides.

[@V3L1Z]

Omg I had to open my saves because I killed this dude and I'm no lore or morrowind guy. But apparently I killed him between level 4 to 7. I remember running around him in circles and killing him. I also suck

[@ASHFAR578]

You can get really good gear from Dren plantation. No need for that summoned fake daedric weapons. Thats how ive defeated umbra at lvl 1 for fun with redguard.

[@Katsuhi50]

when it comes to umbra i just use a longblade/marksman character then pop a scroll of windwalking and throw darts at him till he falls over, suran has a couple of merchants that give you access to some really good throwing knives and darts and if you have high strength you can typically take him down pretty fast.

[@nigen]

I am probably the one bastard who says go to the sheogorarth region and get the vampiric ring.

[@TurboNemesis]

The fastest way to get fat cash is to do the first balmoral mages guild quest, then when you get the one to put the fake soulgem in Galbedir's desk, steal all the soul gems she has lying on the table and take em to the Creeper That's like 15k gold in 20 minutes

[@BatkoNashBandera774]

He still weighed full orcish armour, I did Sheogorath quest to get proper weapon to cheese Umbra at level 7. Personal guide to strat still fresh in my mind because I replay Morrowind and then VotMB a couple dozen times.

[@InsidiousOne]

It's pretty easy to kill the Royal Guard in Mournhold on level 1 and take his neat armor. You just need to buy scribs, and they will keep him paralyzed while you bash him. The perfect place for that is the Palace Courtyard, there is only one guard there. And you can get away with just 40 bounty if you're lucky,

[@necrolicious]

3:01 how do you tell the gender of a sword? Umbra is the sword, not the wielder. The wielders become enthralled by the sword's power and start calling themselves the sword. I forget what the wielder's real names are, but they are both in the lore of their respective games.

[@roosterdf]

I killed umbra by just jumping on the rock right next to him. He can't reach you in melee and it's trivial to shoot him to death.

[@SpaceEmos]

The only way I managed to take down umbra for the first time was abusing a Jinxblade I found. Literally the only time I’ve used paralysis before lmao

[@Pyxis10]

Meanwhile me in my 20's. *gets twoshot*

[@ltjon1924]

Well, I have played that game so much, but I have never used sujama... never realized how powerful it was. Actually, I think I may have used it solely as a way to loot Dungeons and get all the loot back in one trip like a feather potion. Feel kind of silly

[@alexanderstilianov]

I never understood the Orcs' Berserk power. Fortify Health 20 and Fatigue 200 makes sense but what's the point of Fortify Attack 100 and Drain Agility 100? It increased chance to hit it cancelled out by the drop in Agility, you chance to dodge physical attacks only plummets.

[@NtheHecker]

Well, the +100 attack is much more powerful than the drop in agility. So that makes sense. The real problem is that you get knocked down by every flea bite when your agility is 0 in addition to getting hit way more easily. Your damage taken also seems to increase a lot when you are down on the ground. Therefore most beserking orcs end up permastunned followed by death.

[@bjorngg45]
