Its hilarious that the premise of the video implies that you'll be completing many quests and slaying the forces of evil with only the hoe, but then the reality of the video is you fight umbra with it, die multiple times, then give up and cheese the ending of the game which doesnt require or use the hoe at all. This is quality content.
YES! It's always a good day when Spiff drops a video to teach us how Todd Howard really wanted his games to be played. If only Todd weren't so selfish and sneaky in hiding these game mechanics!
Flee like a Frenchman... a true testament to our countries legacy in french, the way we see it is "filer à l'anglaise", or Flee like an Englishman Perfect 👌
As a French man, I can confirm "fighting like a Frenchman" actually means "looking for a hoe that defies the laws of physics and biology, then annihilate everyone with it".
Spiff I'm shocked! Umbra is incredibly easy to kill! If you perform a max range pickpocket she will inevitably catch you attempting to steal from her what this does is cause her to walk towards you without triggering combat. Since you are max range you have enough time to run away from her where she will continue to walk towards you until she talks to you allowing you to walk her through all the traps until she dies.
@@greenhornadventure While that is possible, it's trickier as it can easily be messed up to where the guards aggro onto you and defend Umbra rather than defending you from her.
@@greenhornadventure That's pretty much exactly what I did- tried a sneak bow attack, kited to town, and watched the bodies pile up before pillaging the equipment
I like to imagine that the guards fought valiantly and the prince braved the wilds of the world to get to the temple and then a strange orc with a hoe shows up and takes credit for everyone's accomplishments and, after the final battle, goes crazy and yells at people while swinging his hoe " I am the hoe lord!" and is easily killed. 10/10 would see the movie.
Didn't evven think there could be a worse weapon in oblivion or any Bethesda game but you're telling me a farming tool can be worse than your fists? Also your character looks beautiful Brit.
@@wealthybone2990 both Skyrim and Oblivion have fortify unarmed enchants and I think there's some alchemy ingredients that work for it too. Plus khajiit in Skyrim get the claws bonus that makes early brawls super easy.
Play as a Kajhiit its much more powerful in skyrim and better than average in oblivion. In oblivion there are fisticuff augmenting gauntlets in a chest outside the arena next to the boxing woman and argonian.
Should have named the character Tetanus. Nothing is more terrifying than someone named after a disease wielding a weapon that will likely give anyone hit by it said disease.
@@lianaverwood9810 sure here and there i mean he should be approached by the big name companies to find bugs/exploits of in development games, it seems like thats been a large oversight of games last 10 years or so
You can cheese the Umbra fight by being an Argonian and baiting her into the room with all the poison gas traps, you know, the ones that you are immune to and she isn't...
So funny enough. I accidentally found the paintbrush glitch early on when I was young and tried to climb the tallest building with them. I couldn’t find a way to safely land on tue other side so I never found the secret door and didn’t know about it until 15 years later
Wow, when I saw The Godfather in WWF I just thought it was a silly gimmick. I never knew there was a legitimate strategic approach to weaponizing the dirty hoe. Thanks for the lesson, Spiff!

With every bite, the heavens themselves tremble, resonating with the harmonious symphony of flavors.

Oh, behold the majesty of the bean and cheese burrito! A creation that transcends boundaries, igniting passion in the hearts of all who dare to indulge. Join me, as we embark on a gastronomic journey, where flavors intertwine, and the alchemy of taste captivates the soul. Together, let us revel in the glory of our noble creation, the bean and cheese burrito, for it is the epitome of culinary perfection!
Just finished the Skyrim-Playlist with the 3 hour Survival Challenge 1.02 and see you uploaded a new video. My day is officially blessed, thank you good Sir!
Yes! Love to see more Oblivion and Morrowind. Idk if there's anything else you could do with the Fable series, but they'd be fun to revisit before the new game.
my favourite thing to do in Morrowind is buy a 1-second Fortify Enchant 300 pts enchantment, and break the rest of the game with any enchantment i want _for free!_
Waiting on Spif to break the wood elf. Either a in game charm animal build or a lore accurate Wild Shape mod that has the PC shifting between models every 2 minutes or so.
I LOVE Oblivion videos, please make a series out of this game, here's a recommendation, try exploiting the game with all the weird gadget arrows, there's a vine arrow, a slip and fall one, and a few other wacky tools
Anyone else holds their breath whenever leaving the sewer in Oblivion? That's the moment you learn if you can actually play the game or there is no real terrain, you fall down to the LOD terrain to your death and have to reinstall the whole game...
Man, I've played with a longsword only dealing 1-2 damage per swing in Oblivion, also done a vanilla hand-to-hand build until lategame which is awful, haivng a Hoe that deals 5 damage every hit and inflicts a disease every swing must be a real treat at level 1.
This makes me want to see him break daggerfall or daggerfall unity in a challenge that doesn't use magic considering how broken magic was in those games. Spiff just slightly and slowly going backwards in the elder scrolls timeline.
I'm hoping someone already said this, otherwise I'll be very disappointed in all of you: Emperor: "I've seen you in my dreams!" Shrek: "Well, technically they're called 'DreamWorks', but hey, close enough."
I know you can cheese Umbra with a bow, or magic, but early game hand to hand doesn't go well. Normally I get disarmed, and run around looking for my sword until i die.
Here I was expecting Spiff to turn the Hoe to an overpowered broken weapon through exploiting its disease diving capabilities only for him to end the game in a few steps after acquiring it. Loved the video
Strange, this videos doesn't have a lot of views... What did you do Spiff? XD Edit: it appears I had access to this video before I should have? Not sure what happened xD
"I'm going to basically influence him to put on The Amulet of King and this will turn Brother Martin into the greatest weapon of all" *It all makes sense now...the power of Yorkshire Tea Gold is the ultimate weapon*
But he only used PooLord's Mum in this run, no Yorkshire Tea Gold. That can only mean he influenced Brother Martin into transforming... ...into a Dirty Hoe...
I cant see why some snarky 13 year old modder cant convert an npc woman model in a stiff t-pose into a two handed weapon in the game and name it "yer mum"
Who would win:
Immortal world ending Demon?
*Your mum!*
Todd Howard for sure
can. You do a minecraft stonewors video where create the Exploit Empire please good sir?

There's a joke in there somewhere with anytime you hit someone with the hoe, they get diseased.
the most common one being "ticklebritch"
does Oblivion have crabs?
@@1Apontasthere is a type of crab called mudcrabs in it, so...
Plus, every time you hit that hoe, you gotta pay it 50 bucks...
Give someone mudgrabs

So much nostalgia in one video, duplication glitch,paint brush glitch and the quest completion glitch. This is what legends were born out of.

This makes me upset that there aren't more improvised weapons in Skyrim, I've love to be a Tavern Brawler and use a frying pan against a dragon

Spiff being Bethesda's balance tester explains pretty much everything...
I hearby give you the prestigious title of P.I.M.P. (pretty impeccable master plower) Spiff. You earned it
Wow, when I saw The Godfather in WWF I just thought it was a silly gimmick. I never knew there was a legitimate strategic approach to weaponizing the dirty hoe. Thanks for the lesson, Spiff!
Thanks to Spif, my Elder Scrolls experience just isn't complete without nightmare fuel protagonists. Thanks, Spif!
You know Spiff, you actually can kill the jerk in the other cell. It’s actually required if you want to finish the Dark Brotherhood quest line
And that’s why I always do the Dark Brotherhood quest line in Oblivion (Well that and the murder house quest, GOD that was such a banger quest)
yea i killed him by accident beforehand and couldn’t finish it😅
Its the best quest line in the game
I have a feeling that if the dude knows all the glitches then he knows the quests.
12 a.m., Sunday 16 July 2023... too tired and behind on sleep... TEA!
Have a good weekend and week, everyone.
Thanks for another one,Spiff.
I really hope Todd and the others at Bethesda see these videos and enjoys them as much as we do.
Spiff: surely he can't open doors.
Goblin: *opens door*
Spiff: IT CAN OPEN DOORS RUN AWAY!!
RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
Instantly reminded me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
So strange that in the village where you find the hoe, all the farm tools start attacking you with farm tools.
I'd like to think this is a tribute to MittenSquad, even if only in our dreams

I think Spiff’s Shrek invented the lightbulb. This character has a charisma that screams intelligence worthy of a Mensa membership.
Glad to see someone using the greatest weapon in the game of all time

There's a rather powerful weapon in Ultima VII called the Hoe of Destruction. Bit of an amusing backstory to it.
