Climax at Firemoth???

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.morrowind (More info?)

I'm a level 11 assassin and through use of scrolls potions etc. have
fought my way to the end of the Firemoth mod quest and have cleaned
out all the undead except the Lich who I suppose is the point of the
mod.

I cannot seem to hurt him at all - he has a nasty electrical damage,
doesn't turn undead, seems to have more or less 100% magic reflection
and he doesn't take any hits at all it seems.

Meanwhile I'm potioned and scrolled to the max - I've tried using both
a Winterwound dagger (from Bloodmoon) and a Fireblade (short sword
1-25 fire damage)

Any suggestions on what to try next?

I had a similar experience. I went through Firemoth as level 15 or so
the first time I played it. Until the Lich things arn't so difficult, so
the final encounter was quite a shock after the earlier battles were
sort of uneventful.

I left and returned some levels later and a Daedric weapon richer, then
simply whacked the lich to tiny pieces in close combat after turning on
all possible defences (shield, resistances, sanctuary, tons of restore
health potions etc.) Not very mage-like, but I havn't found a good
tactic yet against critters with high reflection (Solstheim Riekling
Riders come to mind) except whacking to tiny pieces or using ranged
weapons, but latter are bad in the narrow Firemoth location.

Sending in some Golden Saints and Draemonas might be handy, but that's
probably not possible with level 11 assassin (neither with level 11
mage).

Oh I worked hard enough to get there - I'm playing maximum difficulty
with the Marksman mod (which makes bowmen that much tougher) though I
myself have not figured out how to kill things quickly despite
marksmen skill at 45. I tried bow on Firemoth but it was just
impossible.

So yes Im doing it the hard way - but DID get all the way to the
finale ALONE (on an earlier attempt I divine interventioned myself
away and then couldn't find the four travelling companions either
alive or dead...)
