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.
It's really wonky, speaking as a sneaky type class there is times where I'm sneaking and can stealth kill a person in broad daylight Yet I try it on someone sleeping and a guard manifests behind me to arrest me
“Wonky” is the nice way of putting it. It’s more or less downright broken. It really seems to be entirely arbitrary whether or not you get a bounty most times. I’ve hit someone and had them yell for the guards but managed to stop them prior to them leaving their house and got no bounty. Yet I’ll snipe someone from the shadows with a bow while entirely completely concealed and all the sudden have 6 guards yelling “stop right there criminal scum!” within seconds. And I’m talking about just regular NPCs in the world here, not anyone special who may have some behind the scenes modifier of some kind.
@@Yomom12388 also animals report crimes and unlike NPCs they don't even seem to have vision cones for not seeing a crime, so they will literally see you commit crimes as long as they're loaded in, it doesn't even matter if they can't allegedly see you. (can't believe Skyrim sort of fixed that one by giving animals a crime FOV and morality so they won't report theft.)
@@Putrescence420 IIRC the good ol' Unofficial Oblivion Patch changes Umbra's morality so she doesn't report her own assault and ups her aggression so she's not considered a neutral NPC and can be pre-emptively killed like bandits.
"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 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.
I'm not a fan of the leveled items tbh, i prefer unique sets to have a static level. Rarer items being stronger. Or have quests locked behind a level requirement
@@latewizard301 There are multiple de-levelling mods for both oblivion and skyrim that achieve something to this effect. Most quest level reqs are dropped, save the ones that make sense (I'm looking for a powerful champion, and uh... level 1 doesn't cut it) and enemies are levelled by cave/fort/whatever with absolutely no concern for player level. Quest rewards are always the max level for the item, and the overworld is either globally levelled (oblivion) or regionally levelled (skyrim). I think they're good mods for a playthrough or two, but using them made me understand the ultimate decision to make everything, everywhere levelled: the roleplaying component of enemies being static is not a good enough justification after that point. The game inevitably gets more locked into a set order of play if you make areas effectively inaccessible until higher levels, and areas that you miss until you're overlevelled become a walk-through.
@@latewizard301 I liked how Morrowind handled it. You would get demolished in some areas but if you managed to survive you could get daedric at level 1
@@natelax1367 I like when it's a mixture of leveled and unleveled. Give me a proper challenge at every level, but give me some enemies that are ALWAYS strong! (the complaint I had with the Ebony Warrior in Skyrim was that he was always at level 99, never leveled higher when he should have been set to like, min level 99, player level +40, whichever gives him the higher level takes priority so at level 60 he's 100, etc etc). Also a thing I want: unique quest reward items that "evolve" in tier tied to the player's level. They did it with Dawnfang/Duskfang tracking enemy kills, it can't be that hard or costly to have a few checks that give you the item's levelled tier version that matches your level tier. and update it when you hit the next tier and have it in your inventory.
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.
Yea, if iirc the "proper" (or more "proper" way) is to have her initiate combat on you then run into town, that way the guards will take the PC's side in the fight (making her "hostile aura" not also be the "has been assaulted aura", so the guards might intervene on the PC's side); assaulting Umbra will not do this (as shown in the vid).
She's not openly aggressive though. If Micky had befriended npc's in town, they may have taken his side before guards got involved and then guards would choose to protect the npcs rather than protect umbra
I remember playing a dark brotherhood mission and taunting my victim into attacking me, so the imperial guard in the room would help me kill him instead of the other way around
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.
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 :)
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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 might be wrong, but I thought you could restore your stats by praying at an altar. That's what I'd do after downing a bunch of skooma for that speed boost
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'd agree with you if he didn't say he already tested this. My guess is before he got into a city umbra aggrod on a random person so by the time micky got in the city limits umbras last event wasn't being assulted but being the assulter meaning no bounty for mick but a bounty for her
@@xavmanisdabestestI think you're right. Im playing oblivion again for the millionth time lmfao, and did this recently. Had her chase me into the imperial city, and she attacked a bunch of NPCs on the way, and the guards immediately went after her when we got into the city.
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
@@cbassthefirst1343 good to know! Guess the guards just assume the HoK is a criminal if they're being chased by someone in the waterfront district? Lol
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.
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.
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.
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.
LOL Congrats! You have unlocked the secret to overpowering through any fight in Oblivious! *Don't level up.* It's that easy. It's the level-scaling that is the weak point of Oblivious. (Well, that and every single NPC is Mr. Potato Head.)
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
you can jump on the broken pillar in the room umbra is in and shoot her with arrows till she is dead. You can only get up to the pillar though if you have a movable object to jump on.
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.
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.
i've always just gotten umbra early and then bonked the gate keeper like 3-4 times and he's always died without problem, nice to see someone who shares my strategy
I like when the guards look like they are going after umbra but then make a 90 degree turn straight for you.
"I think it wor- STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!"

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

The editing is great in this one :)
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
Mickolas Dee, what a fine lad.

A boy, thirty whole minutes of suffering.
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.
Umbra swimming underneath you like a shark is hilarious. I also appreciate the Sledgehammer MIDI.
Micky: There's a way to buff strength.
Me: Sujamma?
i always just use the debuff reflect glitch to defeat the unintended way, didn't even knew bone arrows worked on him XD
i've always just gotten umbra early and then bonked the gate keeper like 3-4 times and he's always died without problem, nice to see someone who shares my strategy

Every time you played sledgehammer it made me so happy.. thanks!
That chiptune version of Sledgehammer is fucking great.
Either i've missed it or you got particularly fancy with the editing on this one. Fun to watch!
Damn. This is high quality stuff man. Good work!!
NI is how you say no in the Argonian language... So that lady is yelling no over and over.
it wouldn't be a micky d video if the challenge took up less of the video than the set up/challenge prep
good shit as always, keep up the fine video's

Loving this schtick! Keep at it :D
