Playing Oblivion normally: unassuming prisoner goes on a heroes journey to become champion of the realm Oblivion speedrun: local elf drinks 300 skooma, breaks laws of physics, cheats way to top of Imperial Arena
Hello! Love your content. At 0:50, would you be able to explain what glitch you’re doing there? My friend and I have been trying to replicate it for an hour on console, and not having much luck. Thanks in advance!
This wall clip is notoriously difficult and slightly RNG dependent. It is basically impossible without Redguard's Adrenaline Rush active (the spell effects at the top right show it is still active). I'm holding forward and right while looking 45 degrees towards the door, quicksaving, then going through the door and trying to quick load on the first possible frame after the loading screen.
Yeah it seems that every aspect of oblivion can be broken in some way. This route only really has one new game mechanic the other routes don't have, which is the gate opening and closing, and it just happens to also be horribly broken lol
Would you do this on a separate maximum difficulty arena category? I’m thinking you could dupe skooma as you did as well as the cheydinhal book store’s annal of the fire nexus to get through it, but it’s debatable whether you could kill the enemies before the gate changes. The scroll would do 48 pts damage over three seconds given the difficulty setting, and it costs 4500 to initially buy. Otherwise without duping, load warps, and oob, I don’t think a level 1 fresh from the sewers could beat the arena on max. Granted oblivion arguably gets harder as you level.
With the Apotheosis staff and duped grand soul gems, the max difficulty run of this would probably be still pretty easy, but I might look into it at some point. I don't normally do max difficulty runs, but if there was ever a category that made sense to do on max difficulty it would be Arena since it focuses so heavily on combat.
@@PRCLive EDIT: checked your channel page, you get a sub for doing 100% completion oblivion speedruns as well as other categories. 70 hours is insane dedication. I don’t think this could fit in a speedrun meta but if you pick a Breton you could choose some easy to level major skills like heavy armor, alchemy, conjuration and rush to level 20 you could save scum at ceyatatar gorihame or fort empire barracks and get an amulet of axes, ring of the iron fist, and mundane ring. Then you do the Jemane brothers quest and you can get 100% reflect damage and resist magicka. You could also use magic or ranged and if you’re level 22 a mundane ring is guaranteed from Ruma Camoran. For a general max difficulty speedrun (ie majn quests and all factions) this would make it easy to clear different quests and dungeons because you’re immune to melee and magic damage. Marauders would kill themselves trying to hit you. I think most glitchless speedruns would just run through oblivion gates and reach the sigil stone without fighting. Thus the amount of setup involved for invincibility isn’t justifiable for speedrunning. It’s just that with Xivilai using lightning spells you’re bound to die on max difficulty. Also I think for most dungeons people would just clip through the ceiling and skip to the quest market. Along with speedruns I like challenge runs like permadeath or max difficulty, but Im not sure you could combine them into an all quests permadeath melee max difficulty speedrun. The npc AI seems to aimbot when you fight them as melee, so even an athletics build won’t work for melee. Your best bet would be ranged. Max difficulty is a trainwreck no matter what but the idea with the apotheosis staff sounds viable. With dupeless enchanting you could summon xivilai, soul trap them, and use azura’s star after you beat them with 100 hand to hand, but again too much setup. If you go for max difficulty in the arena you could dupe skooma for speed but there’s still a risk of getting flanked vs the twins, argonian prisoners, and the champion fight. I think the challenge and complication of higher difficulty makes it interesting. More rng chaos from prolonged fights and more intricate strategies. Good luck on future speedruns. Not a speedrunner, but I might do a max difficulty all faction quests speedrun and see where it takes me
@@LegateLynx Yeah the strategies for speedrun vs non-speedrun for something like that would be pretty different. Apotheosis is way more powerful than it should be (99 damage across 3 different element types) so if we intentionally kept our character at level 1 everything would be as weak as possible. We could perma enchant reflect damage on ourselves so that even in the raiment we can be invincible too. I haven't played on max difficulty in forever so I may be underestimating how much more health/damage is dealt.
@@PRCLivePerhaps if you stick to level 1 then yeah apotheosis would shred enemies in a few hits. I just like the idea of oblivion being an over the top level 50 bullet hell where we take on azura vampires, jyggalag, Minotaurs, and the gatekeeper with our bare fist (which will go about as well as you expect). Your bringing up the permanent bound enchantments glitch reminds me of a character I made that buffed intelligence and willpower to 1000 and 2500 that way. I could cast 1045 cost spells and instantly regenerate all the magicka. The spell was fortify athletics and speed 100 for 120 seconds. So I made 27 different spells with the same effect to stack it and get 2700 speed/athletics. Due to oblivion’s physics when you collide at this speed with sloped terrain it will cause you to fly, sometimes vertical to where the terrain below doesn’t render. I actually did this with another character (without glitches) who had 45 or 75% spell absorb plus some fortify magicka potions. You use sigil stones to buff your magicka to 700 and three hundred from the potions and you legitimately have 1070 magicka. How many potions depends on race and birthsign. Then you go to the Night mother statue in bravil and spam the blessing as you cast the fortify speed spells. The absorb will fill all thousand points of magicka. So you can pull off ‘flying’ with no glitches in oblivion, just intended game mechanics. I’m gonna release a video on it soon. Ofc you can do this with permanent bound speed enchants or magicka. Also look into fatigue boosting, you just need some damage attribute potions and a way to fortify fatigue. It’s risky early game because you’ll have almost no health but if done right you can one shot enemies on max difficulty. Would pair well with bound dagger.
@@LegateLynx The boost jumping from excessive speed is hilarious. We use it in 100% to sequence break a few dungeons, and I actually lost WR in an Arena speedrun attempt by accidentally boost jumping off the lip on the ring in the center of the arena and died of fall damage lol. The speed stacking thing sounds insane, especially since as far as I can tell, you can't even set your stats that high using console commands since you can only exceed 255 in a skill/attribute with spell effects like you are doing, you have to actually manually set the values with glitches.
i found a way to skip the gates lowering a few years ago and kill the combatant inside their own gate,gonna try and get the new world record but i suck at the wall clipping stuff
I could try different mouse sensitivities sometime, but I mostly need the fast mouse speed for every part except for aiming the firebolt shots. It's tricky because you kinda need fast mouse speed to make the sharp corners and fast turnaround for things like the save clips, but aiming would greatly benefit from a slower movement in the cases where the combatant spawns far right.

Love watching people speedrun these great games, keep it up.
8:04 he referred to Owyn as Baurus lol

@@PRCLive thank you so much! We will give it a try. Thanks again for great content!
Crazy to see we're still finding new tech in this game.

I honestly expected this to not be a new game speedrun
Great job!

We have a video about how this particular gate lowering glitch works if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/2IinI_jFRXI/w-d-xo.html
Again on max difficulty :)
you really need to lower your sensitivity for this, you're making a lot of mistakes because you don't have control over your mouse.
I could try different mouse sensitivities sometime, but I mostly need the fast mouse speed for every part except for aiming the firebolt shots. It's tricky because you kinda need fast mouse speed to make the sharp corners and fast turnaround for things like the save clips, but aiming would greatly benefit from a slower movement in the cases where the combatant spawns far right.
