Can You Defeat Oblivion's Gatekeeper The Unintended Way? 

I like when the guards look like they are going after umbra but then make a 90 degree turn straight for you.

Imagine, swimming in the Niben Bay, and instead of a slaughterfish, you see Umbra emerging from the murky depths, screaming UMBRA SHALL FEED!

"Today we will kill the gate keeper in a way not intended" >90% of the video is trying to kill Umbra >10 percent of the video is actually fighting the gatekeeper This is a certified Micky classic Edit: this isn't a negative comment. I really like Micky as a youtuber and his content is really entertaining (to me) The comment is a joke

You pick up the bounty because she is a neutral npc. When you attack her it is assault and once she comes in range of the guards she "reports" your crime. The way NPCs report your crimes in Oblivion is very wonky though. You could kill a NPC in a basement and somehow he will report you to the guards before he dies. Anyways, I think what happened here is really the system working the way it is intended for once lol.

You can actually kill umbra very easily in the room you find her. All you have to do is flip a waste basket over on the table and jump up on the broken pillar then hit her with either flare or arrows

Umbra actually has two sets of armor. One is available if you kill Umbra between levels 1-14 and is equivalent to orcish armor. The other is available at level 15 and is actually ebony quality.

If the world were to end tomorrow, know that you made this video, this intro, and added in _Sledgehammer_ every, single, time you swung your sledgehammer without fail. Know that you've done the Lord's work, and know that it was glorious.

Loved the MIDI rendition of Sledgehammer. Made my day

At first I was afraid this would be far too easy of a challenge, but I knew you could figure out a way to make it work

Really enjoyed the editing in this one! May the algorithm bless you

This is really "How not to defeat Umbral (Featuring the Gatekeeper at the end)" Haha, I love it!

The way the bounty thing worked is actually pretty simple I think. Umbra simply reports your assault once she's in the city since there are guards to report to

Love that Micky threw in a beating umbra at lvl 1 sequel in this video. What a lad

Fun fact- When I first played this game, I played with my die hard oblivion loving friend. Secretly I made the difficulty like…*really* low. We got to the shivering isles and when faced with the guardian, I legitimately used my bare hands to beat the hell out of him and my friend was shocked that it worked! A lot of fun that play through was.

ever since your video trying to defeat Gaenor, Umbra, Vivec at level 1 etc, I knew this would come eventually. This gonna be good. I know it's not your normal style but these "challenge" videos of doing the most random nonsense are my favourite. I would love to see more of these :)

Challenge: Change Elder Scrolls history by killing Mehrunes Dagon yourself.

I think it works by.... You hit the Npc, it will remember and project an aura to other AI that they have been attacked by you, thus other People/Guard AI Scripts will provide assistance against you the Player Faction. AI respond to help out the party that has been attacked, if you walked into sightline to trigger aggro, then Npc has the openly attacked player and friendly AI will come to your aid instead. Umbra, she may not be a hostile faction to most AI even though she is openly aggressive idk.

I love how you spent most of the video setting up than actually fighting the gatekeeper

That "Sledgehammer" midi sure gets put to good use

i was busy grinding the lovely oblivion to 100% when this comes up, how perfectly coincidental

Mate, Sledgehammer absolutely slaps, so happy when you put that in

The fact that you restarted the entire challenge but still left the first attempt in the video was amazing to me, was not expecting that and laughed so hard

I believe when you fast travel to the waterfront before meeting umbra, you didn't wait 3 days. Regardless though, your editing in this video was top notch mate! Thank you for the video and it's really cool to see another oblivion video! Umbra > Gatekeeper

Dammit Mickey. I just got sledgehammer unstuck from my head and now here we are. What a good tune for a great vid!!

Ive never seen the guards act like this. Ive taken Umbra out several times using this method, and ive never gotten a bounty.

First time I played oblivion when I was 6, I just used apotheosis on the gatekeeper because I could not figure out where to go for bone arrows.

this felt a little anticlimactic after the build up, was a funny journey anyway though, watching you die over and over to umbra made it worth it. great stuff.

For when you bait Umbra, if you buy skooma from shady sam outside one of the entrances to the imperial city before you visit her, you can outrun her. You could've also just kept her underwater and she'd have drown

i didnt know you could hit those stones with flare and they will fall. nice. props to you for not using exploits.

I used to kill umbra by getting a couple varla stones and the blue ones and buying apotheosis from the staff store in the imperial city, although that staff can pretty much kill anything and I've used it through the entire game before (to the horrible detriment to my stats of course) and it would soft lock me from being able to kill anything in the game without it lol

I remember the first time I played Oblivion, I was like 11 or 12. And I was not paying attention to what the "real" methods of beating him were, so I just charged in. What I DID know was the duplication and Chameleon exploits. So, with 100% Chameleon armor, Umbra's sword (that I got by killing her with 100% Chameleon armor), and the easiest difficulty possible, I hammered away at the Gatekeeper until he finally died after like 10 minutes of just straight hacking and slashing. Good times.

If I remember correctly you need to be able to do the Clavicus Vile quest and then talk to her. I think she aggros afterwards and that's when you can get help from guards.

I will forever and always love your musical references Micky. Never Change!

Love the challenge vids! When I was a kid playing Oblivion my brother and I would always hide on a pillar above where she spawns in Vindasel and just pelt Umbra with flare/firebolt and arrows. EDIT: Also the MIDI Sledgehammer playing whenever you had the hammer out was my favorite part of the episode

This is the most anticlimactic video in a few ways, but I mean that in the best way. 10/10

This video is the perfect example of *Stick to the way of the Sword* and you will do fine....

such a dramatic rollercoaster of a build-up only to end in an unceremonious slaughter, fucking comedy gold

Hey man your morrowind videos inspired me to start playing morrowind myself and I have to say I really am loving it, thank you for swinging me onto a amazing game

Now, the next challenge, how not to be given a bounty of Umbra

I almost forgot the challenge was to kill the gatekeeper with how long it took you to kill Umbra.

Micky D + Oblivion = Great RU-vid viewing ♥️

The 16 bit rendition of sledgehammer playing every time you used it made me crack up

Caudette: "I've everything for the budding alchemist -" Micky D: "Yeah, but do you have fekkin skooma? No? Then you're worthless." 🤣

"...I'm gonna visit Shady Sam real quick" Haven't we all been there

I like how i found this video roughly a week after i accomplished this feat. so while i know the answer is yes, i wish to see this mans mind find a way.

A naked argonian with a sledgehammer… In the shivering isles you fit right in

The second you said Toto, Bless The Rains started looping in my head. The video has been done for a minute.

"I like this Micky D fellow, but there's just something missing" YOU COULD HAVE A STEAM TRAIN "OK, I'm in"

The Peter Gabriel joke is S-Tier

love the hours of preperation and you just killed it with umbra

All that buildup just to kill the gatekeeper in 10 seconds

another masterpiece, by that rapscallion of a micky d channel lol the geter pabriel midi is the icing on the cake

This video was super nostalgic for me. When I first was first playing oblivion I was like 10 and really dumb so I never leveled since I didnt know how, lured umbra into the poison chamber and did that same thing then brute forced the gatekeeper because I didnt know there was supposed to be a proper way to do it.

Love the editing as always Micky, the 8-bit Sledgehammer was top. I want to see a mod where that track plays when you pull out the sledgehammer.

This is me fav vid on your channel. Editing is hilarious. Love the bits of music whenever you get sidetracked

I lost it when the MIDI sledgehammer came on, nice touch!

I love how the whole bit with Umbra eventually turned out to be more of a challenge than the gatekeeper itself 😂

I love the music gag. Especially the one second rat one.

This video is a metaphor for me life. I have something planned really well, I thought. Then life is like “ FUCK YOUR PLAN” and it doesn’t work.

“Can You Defeat Oblivion’s Umbra the Unintended Way?”

Mickolas Dee, what a fine lad.

Love the music during combat segments. Great way to break up the quiet :)

The earliest I ever got here, nice!

A boy, thirty whole minutes of suffering.

An easy way to beat the Gatekeeper at Level 1 even on the hardest difficulty is to start as a mage character, power level your Conjuration skill to 75 and buy the Summon Clannfear spell. It kills the weakest version of the Gatekeeper in 3 hits.

What an unmitigated disaster of an upload. Easily your best content 10/10

Oh no wonder I had no clue what these enemy was, never played DLC 😹

In the room Umbra is in, there's a broken pillar in the center. You can climb the pillar and spam fireballs at her. Takes a long time, but she can't hit you.

perfect timing for my lunch break thank you micky always enjoy your vids

The first time I played Shivering Isles the Gatekeeper didn't even give a shit about me, he started pummeling Jayred Ice-Veins even though he was barely scratching him. I was used to followers dying, it happened to Martin 69 times, I even laughed when Jayred's limp body went flying off the staircase I just thought "haha, there goes another one!", but it wasn't until I went through the gate to Dementia alone that I burst into tears, he wanted to get through the gate so badly, and it hit even worse when I saw how he didn't have a tombstone in the New Sheoth Graveyard, it genuinely made me depressed. Anyway when I finished the DLC turned out I had been hoarding 379 different types of bones, and I had nothing else in my inventory, so I dumped them one-by-one outside his empty house, sometimes I'd move them around to write messages like "see you space cowboy", "as fearless in death as he was in life", "it's all over, bonebreaker", "Calcium", "Seen any Bones?" and "goodbye, basement dweller" It's actually cool how all of the bones stay in place and the game doesn't explode with 30% of all of the bones in the game in the same place, they all load into the game exactly where I left them, even as I go back and put more and more bones on his front step; there's only one pesky little skull that keeps rolling into the lake behind his house, but the rest stay put. After replaying Shivering Isles and finding a way to let him live, he didn't really seem all that grateful for it, so I killed him again, and I subsequently stole all of his bones that he owned and dumped them at the Adoring Fan's feet, now he has something to nibble on when I'm gone.

Defeat the gate guardian. Ah yes, umbra the gate guardian.

I’m dying every time that sledgehammer tune plays 🤣

The Peter Gabriel song was a great touch.

I didn't even know the legit way, I always break it somehow

I never use bone arrows and tears on The Gatekeeper. He's only hard at low levels. Last playthrough I did, I went through Shivering with all my stats maxxed out, and the Gatekeeper could barely damage me.

Honestly my first time playing the dlc I just went straight into fighting the gate keeper and beat him then every time after I just did the same and I completely missed the awesome bone arrows you get for years XD

Thanks! Was just trying to find something to watch before sleep.

Every time you played sledgehammer it made me so happy.. thanks!

"Just for that playa' I'm booking you for a one on one with the Gatekeeper! "

"Go away, woman" Micky D is an absolute chad

I'd pay to see Logan Paul fight the sun-baby from Teletubbies. Probably the least controversial thing he's done.

Amazing. 29 minutes of set up for 15 seconds of challenge.

I really enjoyed this! Especially the music you added to the fights and the ni ni ni ni... X3

Alretnative title: Local Irish flee from Ebony woman.

i always just use the debuff reflect glitch to defeat the unintended way, didn't even knew bone arrows worked on him XD

I love the running Peter Gabriel bit.

I forgot what this video was about halfway through, though I still enjoyed.

''I find your channel way more fun when I'm drunk'' Dav from Canada

That chiptune version of Sledgehammer is fucking great.

I managed to take on the gatekeeper with swords a long time ago. I just wailed on him until I killed somehow. I guess I just got lucky.

Not only are you playing one of my most favorite games but the Monster Inc music was a nice touch 🥰 subscribed!

Good editing. Enjoyed this one. I wonder if it is possible to beat the gate keeper with just the sledge hammer, vampirism, and skooma.

Umbra swimming underneath you like a shark is hilarious. I also appreciate the Sledgehammer MIDI.

That's the nose of a man who loves his knorr beef stock pot.

This is my favorite video of Mickolas D

7:22 the raw unmitigated betrayal.

When the setup for the challenge is harder than the challenge itself lmaoooo

None of the things you planned working just makes it even more unintended.

this is a knorr beef stock pot gamer moment

Finally, real philosophical questions
