  • I zapped umbra like 15 time and she won't die. She kills me in 1 hit

  • Comment removed

  • maybe you could duplicate umbra.....I'll bet it costs alot of money....

  • @TheCCrunner98 you cant dupe it i dont think.

  • LOL @ 3:43

  • Were you on very easy cause there is no way Umbra dies just like that!

  • @VelvetxRevolverx - I was a level 1 =P

  • @ablestmage lol i just got the game yesterday and i put it to the hardest difficulty and im lvl 2 and the oblivion chapel... :D i will die shortly

  • :D You just leveled up! You went from EPICCCC to GTFOMYW CUZ IMAH PWWWNZZ YOUUU. And...You earned a subscriber. :D

  • Lol this wouldve been so much easier, I was level 1 so I sat behind a rock shooting fireballs at her

  • plz answer this does umbras armour level too i thought it stayed the same???? thx

  • @TheShak111 - If you google "uesp umbra person" (without quotes) and pick the first result, you'll get a detailed breakdown about her armor stats.

  • lolage i once wondered in there at level 20 coz i thought it was a mythic dawn hideout since i beat one up who was standing out side so i took his clothes, went in and was badly dissapointed so i compensated by kicking her ass and teabagging her xD

  • dude, u r a legend, thanks so much mate! :-)

  • why you can beat her so easily with that staff?

  • @rozensen - because in the video my character is only level 1, as a demonstration that riches and power can be found very quickly after just getting out of the sewers (which is where part 1 starts). She gets tougher as you get stronger, so naturally later on it would take more than one shot to take her down =)

  • @ablestmage i though umbra was one of those characters who dont scale with your level...?

  • @ablestmage - Although it's possible Prima may be wrong in their game guide, the guide for Oblivion states Umbra is permanently levelled at 30. I have absolutely no shame in admitting that I go to her little dungeon straight off in my game to get her gear as well and that I drop my dificulty to the easiest level before doing so. At the easiest setting, you do 6X damage, making Apotheosis do 597 dmg instead of 99 (if math is correct here)...

  • @bluemax087 - UESP claims she's at level 50, and also suggests casting a weakness-to-fire/frost/shock series to a target when using Apotheosis, so that the 33fire/33frost/33shock combo hit is raised to nearly 200 dmg =)

  • @ablestmage But you didn't cast that weakness spell in this video... did you? (TBH, I don't want to watch another 9 minute video just to find out). Either way, after my first playthrough where I found Umbra at about level 35 and decided to keep the sword and not return it (completing the quest and making the sword permanently weighted in my inventory btw) I decided to go there straight away each time I played...

  • @ablestmage So, all in all, VERY good advice. I use the infinite money glitch with Dorian myself in order to get Apotheosis, but to each his own...

  • @rozensen all i did was hit her and make her follow me out of the cave and then the guards do the rest :D ;)

  • she beat the shit out of me

  • Yes, to anyone's amazement, I just picked this game up two months ago.

  • Just did this dupe! Thanks!!!! I got tired of not being able to buy the skingrad house. Now I have enough gold to do it early! Cheers!

  • deuche bagg forgot the sheild

  • Thx ablest

  • Edit : you cant dupe umbra's shit because its all from quests , but can you dupe the staff or is there a better item to dupe (most expensive item to shops?)

  • @maurice96b - There's a remade-version of this video I made @ watch?v=_PgwRkXjaMI .. The best expensive item to dupe I think is the Document of Purile Banter, which weighs less than 1 but is valued at over 6000, which you can get at the bookstore in the Imperial City Market District.

  • @ablestmage what are your 7 major skills lol i wanna copy that to

  • @cheatmaster123123 - I always make a custom class named Binky, and usually put Heavy Armor, Block, Blade, Athletics, Acrobatics, Security and something random for the last one. Lately, however, I've been using Light Armor instead of Heavy, and instead of Security have been using Marksman because I've grown quite fond of using a bow-and-arrow.. especially since the Mehrunes' Razor quest turns up loads of special high-damage arrows you can dupe..

  • @ablestmage hmm so what do you recommend i go with i also have mehrunes razor

  • Is there any possibility of duping the staff you used to kill umbra / umbra armor or weapon?

    5/5 please respond

  • @maurice96b you can dupe it but for me because i was a soldier i said screw going to frostcraig spire and all the rest of the bases i downloaded (witch is them all) i went to battlehorn castle to dupe it in the private quarters instead of droping it all somewheres and not having any space

  • the part one didnt work for me does it work on PS3?

  • lol 5 mins of black, love it, cool vid though man!, should show the vampire one, how u get millions!

  • @ablestmage good point i got my umbra quite early and it was gr8, but i sold it now, should just displayed it in me house XD

  • har du filma fra ditt spill?

  • @helleneh98 - what language is that?

  • @ablestmage i think it was swedish, but since i still dont get what he said either im not sure

    (im from sweden)

  • @Elrohof it is norwegian

  • @ablestmage its norwegian, may i translate?

    he asks if you filmed from your own save and game. lucky me can norwegian

  • @Gunsounder - thanks!

    @helleneh98 - Ja, det gjorde jeg film fra mitt eget spill =)

  • thanks to you becuse now i got a ''thanks'' from someone who made a video i commetned on lol

  • @Gunsounder cool^^

  • @ablestmage Norwegian :) He asked about the filming of the game

  • @ablestmage it is norwegian and means have you filmed from youre own game.

  • not best armour

  • @mre132435 - best armor that you can get within 15 minutes of emerging from the sewers, also, depending on what you need the armor for.

  • im still confused. so you just have to select 2 of the same item, but then switch to another object and drop it and it will duplicate?

  • @ternalator - equip two or more of the same kind of scroll, then just drop something else and you'll drop the item, but as many as there were scrolls.

  • is normal ebonhy or umbras sronger and thx heeps forur chameleon ur awesome and duping worked finebut it dosnt work when i drop more then one and yeah i feel aawesome coz im invisible to the max and its soo lool

  • Oh thats how u kill her...I just used my Dawn Fang Sword

  • @Johnnylee19 - heh yeah, but the process for going all the way from the sewer gate at the beginning and to getting Dawn Fang would be more like, "Riches & Power in Several Hours" ~_^

  • @Johnnylee19, I just used low level armor, a low level sword, and the flare spell,as a redgaurd with extremely low magica

  • i tried that i got my ass pwned by her sword

  • whats that staff callled again and do u have to drop the specific scolls to start duping or u can drop any item u have doubles of like a apple but stolen?

  • @flabztar - Apotheosis is the staff from the shop, and something like Goblin Staff is the one from the cave. You don't have to drop the specific scrolls, any amount 2 or more of any scroll will work. You can dupe other items also, but not things like quest items, nirnroot, or some random things that may depend on your character's species (not sure why).

  • What if u already slayed Umbra?

  • @Spyro1345 - If you've already slain Umbra then you should have kept her junk =P There's a quest that killing Umbra has to do with (that I wouldn't recommend doing, because the prize is terrible, compared to just using Umbra's sword/armor instead).

  • dude thats all part of a deadric shrine quest and goldbrand is the best sword in the game but only without all the downloadable content

  • the best sword in game is the sword that you create. Not umbra or goldbrand

  • dude thanks 4 the vid it helped me out alot

  • dupe the lockpick i just figured it out

  • @brian3477 - I've also got an "unbreakable lockpick" video ^_^

  • can you dupe umbra?

  • @TheObliterator379 - I'm not sure, may depend on the race of your person, never tried =/

  • this vid is realy helpfull i tried getting umbra the archer away on the pillar and she jumped up and killed me!!! now i no the staff rules

  • how would you know if the game you bought is patched?

  • @ArgentDeus - As far as I know, the non-GOTY versions are not patched, and the GOTY version is. For x360, if you try connecting to XBL and it forces you to download an update before you can get on, means it's not patched yet.

  • @ablestmage Well, when you get the game, the disk itself, isnt patched. Yu have to go on XBL and it patches the data, or if you decide not to patch it, you will ont be able to go on XBL. But simple say to unpatch it is go to system settings, memory, your hard drive/memory unit, press x x lb rb x x, and maintenance. It will clear the cache, or if you have a new HD, then you can just go to sys settings, and choose to clear the cache. Then you can dupe and glitch on oblivion.

  • *you, not, way. Gah friken spelling errors.

  • @JmanBan3 - PS, you can copy/paste your own message into a new message, make spelling corrections, and delete the old one, without having to post a separate message correcting them.

  • @JmanBan3 - This duping glitch is not patched, so unpatching is not necessary. The unpatching technique also unpatches all games you've ever played on that machine, meaning some DLC may also get erased (such as Fallout 3 addons, and with those, items acquired from those DLC). I say unpatching isn't worth the hassle.

  • @ablestmage Its not worth the unpatching but ive heard from people that you have to delete your cache before you can do it.

  • @JmanBan3 - There are other duping glitches different than this (such as one where you shoot arrows instead of dropping items) that require unpatching, but this one works even after all patches are installed.

  • So... you have to get this in the begining? i mean if i get it at like level 20 will it still be a good sword and armor?

  • its the same but stats will get stronger the higher your lvl.

  • @Lukuz13 - You can still get them and as Twilight mentioned, the sword and armor stats rise as yours do, even if it's not in your possession. However, Umbra will be really really tough to defeat, and may take more than just a few zaps.

  • cool. ill use this.

  • what spell/wepon does the zap?

  • Please forgive me if i somehow missed this but... lets say you have x30 minor healing scrolls and you use them to dupelicate something. do your 30 scrolls go away? or do you still have them?

  • Nope, you keep all 30 so you can do it over and over and never lose anything, but gain 30 of something else ^_^

  • Thanks! i know what game I'm getting~ XD

  • i wish oblivion was multiplayer..

  • was that video lag or does the 360 take longer loading areas??

  • If you're comparing it to PC load times, I'm sure the 360 takes longer than all of the latest tech.

  • no i have it for both pc and ps3... i perfer pc cuz of the console

  • if only there was umbras deadric armor ahhh the dreams

  • An oxymoron is generally an adjective and a noun together, whereby the adjective describes the noun in a way that seems opposite to the noun's nature (jumbo shrimp, for example). "More" is an intensifier to the adverb "easily" which describes the ease at which something is accomplished, such as that melting ice is more easily performed by school children than melting iron. Also, you misspelled "grammar" twice ^_^

  • Comment removed

  • I'm not sure which grammAr book you're getting that from -- I've got a BA in English =P

  • umbera looks weak compared to a madness ores word lol

  • Umbra is probably the most powerful sword you can freely get within 15 minutes of leaving the sewers. For a madness ore sword, you've got to travel to the Shivering Isles and find all the ore, plus the plans for the smith to make you one, which is a bit longer than 15 min =P

  • it depends on blade skill with 100 blade it has 30 attack but the bound sword is 31 attack i never use it tho i just have it stored in my house.

  • The attack level of Umbra's sword varies with your character's level and how well it''s repaired, also.

  • Your clever :D I knew how to dupe, but i never thought of actually selling the items ;l lol 5/5

  • lol selling items was the first thing that came to my mind but i got a 20486 bounty on my head and theres no option to pay gold wene i got 34k gold

  • If you join the thieves guild, you can pay your assigned leader half the bounty, without having to go through the guards.

  • whoa thats cheating.. =D I like haha and of course you mean the best you mean by best available and by cheating i mean if your not cheating your not trying.

  • I meant the best available according to your level in the game (because different armor and such can be found at different levels). Some call it cheating, some call it exploiting game flaws ^_^

  • i call it the "FTW" method haha

  • Really helped me thanks btw which class has a paralyze spell for like cast one day powers like nords have like great frost touch etc.

  • google UESP

  • for a paralyze spell in the beginning you have to be under the sign of the lover or get alot of money and go buy one from the illusion guy

  • well I personally think your playing on easy difficulty because Umbra is a tough cookie to bite and to kill her with 1 hit is pretty extreme since shes always level 50 :S but i have killed her on my low level character after getting 100 marksman on it first though and used the pillar so not to be attacked :p but ARE YOU CRAZY! you just dropped a 3000 gold+ item when you could still carry it!!

  • Yeah, I think it was set on the easy end of the difficulty bar. When you can dupe like before, there's not much sense in keeping something for its $ value =P

  • great vid i subbed

  • Oh my. This duplicating trick is very handy. XD I did exactly what you said and it did work, and I duped a bunch of grand soul gems (with grand souls) and bought the apotheosis. Now I just run around owning everything with it, and if the charge runs out I'll refill it with a limitless supply of gems XD

  • Yup! I do that with heal potions (and/or magicka potions, if I use magic much), and hot key them so all I have to do is press up on the D-Pad (x360) and bingo, I'm healed/recharged. Also works with Invisibility potions in case you get in a bind and need to escape, and with Fortify Strength potions you get over encumbered ^_^

  • Yea same here. I made a few really good healing potions, like 28 health for 72 seconds so I never have to worry about dying. I made a fortify strength 38 points potion, which gives 190 more weight capacity, and if I need to I'll dupe those, use a few, and also a beast of burden scroll that gives feather 250 pts on self :D even then I can still manage to become over encumbered if I loot everything in a gate :O

  • The best one I made is Fortify Fatigue 7 points for 27 seconds :/

    AND DO fortify strength potions permanently increase strength?

    or a temp effect?

  • I have never made a potion that permanently increased one of my stats. If it says fortify strength on self and then gives an amount of time afterward, then it is temporary.

  • If you don't have the Nighteye spell, you can always search a vid about the rare Glass helm, Fin Gleam. It has Waterbreathe and Nighteye permanent affects, so you don't have to worry about getting to a certain dungeon in a Knights of Nine quest.

  • Finding Fin Gleam is one of my other tutorial videos =P

  • strongest light armor is the glass armor and you can find it on bandits or maradeurs all over cyrodill but you havr to have the right level..

  • wtf is the point of the extra 5min lol

  • not sure, it's not on the end of the file I uploaded.. I wonder if it was a YT glitch when it was encoding..

  • btw great video

  • Im using Light armor wats the strongest Light armor in the game and how can I get it

  • You can make your own "strongest" by enchanting it with Sigil Stones that have a "shield" quality to them. Check out my 100% Chameleon video, to see how to do it, but just change out the "chameleon" for "shield" instead.

  • oh thanks i already did the chameleon from your other video never thought to put shield lol

  • its normally glass

  • you really should ve kept the staff

  • yeah the apotheosis really comes in handy..especially when you have 10 skeleton hero's coming at you all at once with glass longswords,bows and claymores =)

  • at 2:22 you can see the dude with a Deadric Axe? When i killed this dude at level one he had an iron shortsword.

  • I honestly don't know how in the world a conjurer got ahold of that axe. I looked up conjurer stats, and all of them, at all levels, carry a dagger and a staff. He matched the picture of a conjurer spot on.

  • maybe it's a bound axe? seems logical to me.

  • Just a question: Why is my Umbra Ebony armor worth far more then yours?

  • I'm guessing because you're probably a higher level than me in this video. The video is a level 1, and the armor levels with you (gets stronger as you get stronger).

  • But that also means that the armor is worth more if you pick it up at a higher level? Because it seems to me that though the armor rating will go up at your game, the value of the armor does not.

  • I would presume that higher armor levels mean higher prices. If you dupe for money, prices are insignificant.

  • a bit of advice, if you want the night-eye but don't want to start a new game, there is an item called fin gleam which gives permanent night-eye when equipped (helmet). just look it up for a guide to find it.

  • I've got a video for that already, silly. And it's the main tutorial that shows up when you click on my name, no less =P

  • oh that was your video? lol

  • i found a ring of night eye in a cave somewhere and its really helpful when you want to were a better helmet

  • XD this guide works awesomely but whenever i go to kill umbra and use the staff thing i just attack her from a distance a run, lure, zap, lure, zap and then take her st00f :D also another way of duping is i think clear the x box cache and then punch the air then while in the middle of punching go to inventory and drop the desired item and it drops like 30 of that item :D

  • i dont think umbras armor is the best armor in the game but you are right it is a prety good one

  • It's the highest rated armor you can get from just out of the sewers. Any armor is conceivably "the best" overall, depending on what you intend to do with it =P

  • i tough for a second that you were gonna dupe umbras sword... still pretty cool!

  • just turn your brightness up i cant stand my screen being blue

  • the last bit at the end of part 2 is totally black, the actual tutorial bit is 15 minutes, give or take a few secs.

  • I just do this to a rare ring i have whenever i need money lol

  • um actually i got  the dupe trick now.

  • o_O whats with the 9:00 minute video? if its only 5 minutes xD

  • fifteen minutes, not five.

  • i think ARIANALIZBETH meant why is this particular video five minutes because the last 4 are just a black screen.

  • omg ace it worked

  • Great video. I'd hate to do this on fallout since the merchants run out of money >.> I have 10k caps worth of items in my house.

  • If you wait 3-5 days, then normally have more money.

  • try duping umbra and sell it and keep 1 for yourself

  • Oh by the way great videos I just don't understand the duplicate trick.

  • which part exactly

  • So once you pick up the scrolls after paying the fine, no matter what you drop after that is duped?

  • Not everything. Some things like quest items (Amulet of Kings, Nirnroot, etc) won't, and some other random things like *some* items marked stolen, and other various bits that will dupe on some saves but not on others even on the same machine.

  • mind if a add you on xbox live? I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THEY HELP A LOT :D

    GT:craminekillsyou

    p.s dont talk about me name!

  • and 1 question more: what way u use for duping?

  • why grammar you use proper not?

  • but can i still dupe items if i drop scrolls?

  • Can't dupe without scrolls, but you just need a bunch of one particular scroll, of any kind.

  • how i can stop duping? and does this work on any race?

  • what do you mean by stop? ya just *not* dupe stuff. Works with any race.

  • you got good taste in games halo 3 fallout 3 and oblivion

  • OR, you just buy all the bound spells in chorrol, bound them on your character, summon a pathetic skeleton, hit it 3 times, make it damege the armor, then you kill the pathetic skeleton, then you repair the armor, then you drop it on the ground, then you wait for the time to run out, then you pick it up, and you got a daeric armor twice as good as umbras =D

  • ok and if i did ask you i couldnt do the glitch because i sent this message a long time ago so if i did ask you it does work and at the moment a have like a billion coins from the glitch lol (^_^)

  • 12000 isnt rich...i have 4 million

  • i can beat u any time i got over 100 bill

  • I followed all the steps but when I got to the staff, for some reason it wouldn't dupe it, so i did it with some saphires and bought a sword and it worked fine O.o

  • It might be because it wasn't fully repaired or charged.

  • when i try and kill umbra or whoever tht is she doesnt do anythin then just kills me she doesnt even flinch can you help???

  • If you're a higher level, you may have to zap her more than once. Just stand on one of the high stones in the room that she can't reach and zap her multiple times with the staff shown in the video.
