The Red Mountain Challenge! (Morrowind)

- This challenge is inspired by Lord of the Rings in which we have to bring Fargoth's Ring of Healing into the fire's of Mount Doom! (Or just Red Mountain in this case)
How does it go? Do I get a little mad towards the end? Do we ultimately accomplish our goal?
Credit to Joseph Ellis for the awesome idea in a previous video's comment section! All ideas for runs are always considered and thank you for such great suggestions! - Hry
Longest video on the channel yet boys so buckle in and get some tea! This is a Lord of the Rings inspired challenge that was suggested by a viewer so don't be afraid to suggest future ideas! This was a damn good one.
Loved the video, inspired me to do a Fargoth roleplay of what would have happened if the PC died to a mubcrab outside seyda neen and Fargoth found the body, opened the instructions from the emperor and decided to carry them out in honour of the friend that returned his ring.
It took Frodo 6 months
@@ArchNemesis314 Morrowind is 19 years old
@@MickyD Now I feel old
@@The_Bear_Adventures Maybe Fargoth was the Nerevarine the whole time..
Imagine Dagoth Ur just sitting there and seeing Nerevar as a wood elf falling into the volcano after rambling something about a ring and saving the world.
Imagine his further surprise when Red Mountain detonates when the ring falls into the lava, and the Nerevarine gets carried off to safety by cliff racers.
@@Cypherwraith001 then we cut to him having 10+ endings.
"Oh what a fool you are!"
oh forgive me but i am enjoying this
Dude I randomly made a wood elf character, then did the entire main quest, I’m so disappointed that I ended up keeping him
My favourite part of Lord of the Rings was when Frodo whispered, " I have desires," before killing the cat-merchant.
Frodo: *END THE CATBOY*
That feel when you realize the volcano only like, knee deep.
more like one helms deep
You wouldn't actually sink in a volcano, no matter the depth. Lava is much more dense than water. So this is unintentionally accurate.
@@nullvektor9922 explain why gollum sank at the end of return of the king? Check mate atheists.
@@drpureinsanity Gollum is actually just incredibly dense
Finding this hidden gem of a channel makes me wanna give morrowind a 50th chance.
It never got past its first chance with me. I really wanna enjoy it. It's just, janky in a way that's really confusing
@Payton Cantrell what mod are we talking?
@Payton Cantrell
That swing and miss combat turned me off it. Granted when I was a kid I used to just fast travel to balmora and rifle through the boxes.
It’s a very easy game after about an hour of CZcams lol, used to never make it through but boom, whickweak and marshmallow...
Micky suffers through morrowind so we dont have to. 🙏🏼
One does not simply walk up the Red Mountain.
"We have drawn his armies from the Ghostgate. For ourselves there is no hope. This is our final act to give Frodo time, time to end this evil that marshals before us."
- Gandalf the White
I think Tarhiel is your Gandalf: He's a wizard with a beard, a robe, and a pointed hat, and he falls from a great height.
Tarhiel the Dead doesnt quite have the same ring to it though (pardon the pun)
That also explains the lack of direction, imagine how lost middle earth would have been of Gandalf died at the very beginning
The only difference is that Gandalf scared his party away, then solo'd the boss, disappears for a while and then shows up with a new title and new gear.
Tarhiel just falls and dies. He doesn't get to look anything, he gets looted.
Fly, you fools!

I wish they'd have picked someone other than yer man Jimmy Nesbitt to represent the Irishy hobbits. The mans a bit of a sprog irl lol
You should have gone into the construction set and given the Ring Invisibility for 10 Seconds, when you put it on.. but it also spawns 9 Bonewalkers. Or for the true Gollum Experience, it should have just spawned in another Fargoth who simply follows you forever and gets stuck in a tree somewhere along the journey.
And somehow make its weight incredibly heavy to imitate the metaphorical weight of the ring with a physical one.
Caius Cosades is exhibitionist Gandalf who is addicted to Skooma and steroids
I had a good laugh !
"I'm high, you fools."
Toughest enemy was the mountain itself, haha.

@@balboboogins2511 it brings great pleasure to see someone agree
Best part was when you were talking about the noble sacrifice and it looks like he's saluting.
This is not how I remember the Lord of the Rings going down, but I ain't mad.
Director's Cut. We didn't have the budget for Gollum.
@@MickyD Directors cut, in which Frodo summons a sword from hell and kills divine beings after crushing a whole bottle of grain alcohol.
@@MickyD nah bro, just summon a deadra
What are you talking about? This is exactly how it went.
@@MickyD You misspelled Creeper.
"Go away. Will you leave me alone?!"

2:48 I've played Morrowind for 100s of hours and I never knew that an enchanted battleaxe was hiding in that stump.
same, at least micky d didn't know about the sword in suran guard tower until recently.
sameee
Even better, in TES Online: Morrowind it's there too!
I actually made myself some tea and relaxed while watching this and was not disappointed
Glad you enjoyed it! It got surprisingly tough near the end
@@MickyD Yeah, I'm glad you went through with it anyway. I'm enjoying your videos!
@@oleeiriksen4149 Cheers! The world needs a few more Morrowind videos
So this is how you honour the Sixth House and tribe unmourned?
i actually had my hand down my pants scratching my balls and i had to pause the video because of how hard i was laughing after he said that
This is how Tolkien envisioned it.
It was roughly the distance from London to Moscow (Assuming you cross the channel) on foot, or about 2,900 km... on foot with tiny legs... and in rocky and arduous terrain. So...I believe it was roughly a year before they finally cast the ring down and Frodo still lost a finger and most of his sanity out of it.
The entire journey from Frodo's home to Mount Doom took about 185 days but when you deduct "breaks" it goes down to 119 days of travelling, give or take 5 days because I don't understand Tolkin's calendars.
@@lastresort3159 no, that cannot be correct. Because they left the day after Bilbo’s 111th birthday, so September 23, 3018. Then the ring was destroyed March 25th, 3019. So it was exactly 6 months. It was roughly a year for all the events of the LOTR trilogy events to unfold. Or exactly 11 months, one week, and 6 days.
@@point-five-oh6249 But they spent more than 2 months in Rivendell
@@lastresort3159 well sure, no journey is ever just getting from point A to point B. There’s always a detour somewhere. And it wasn’t like they just took off on the highway, they were trailblazing through mountains, swamps, haunted forests, etc. not to mention constantly being hunted down by the ring wraiths
Frodo say that it was thirteen months to the day when they arrived back in the shire.
Frodo's last words: 'Oof, oof, huuu.'
“I have desires”😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️
Fargoth Ur, the Darth Jar Jar of Morrowind.
Better punchline
Ra'Virr: "You have questions?"
Micky D: "Yes. I need to... AXE you something."
I love how you looked at a full set of masters alchemist equipment and took the fire salts...
I've always imagined Morrowind's climate is warm, but different kinds of warm. Like, spanning from 97% humid shitty swamp and dry desert heat
The swamps are where the argonians are and the khajiit are in the dessert
There is a small side quest near Fields of Kummu where the reward is an amulet of slowfalling. Combine that with the Scrolls of Sudden Death (Icarian Flight), and you have an express way to the Red Mountain opened all up.
or just get that high acrobatics skill until you can walk on walls
ah the fields of kumu, as big as a sandbox and not even a field LOL
To do:
- get a one ring mod
- plant hostile orcs and goblins on the way to the mountain
- get a kazadum mod and travel through it
- find a fellowship and do aifollow player 0 0 0 0 to get them to follow (fargoth will be one of the hobits)
- whoever plays Sean Bean/Boromir has to die on the way.
- Caius Casades plays Gandalf

Caius isn‘t Elrond? At least I think he fits him in 1-2 ways.
@@MajinObama yeah I'd go with you on that. Gimly can be that weird dwarf guy on the spider legs
Max W why u gotta disrespect the boy yagrum bagarn like that
I'm actually surprised nobody made a full scale Lotr mod for Morrowind :) of the scale of say Tamriel Rebuild mod, everything would work excellently, the goblins from the Tribunal (if they could be transplanted from Mournhold sewers to Vvardendenfell, I know little of the modding capabilities), what with the ashlands and Red Mountain being obvious place for Mordor setting. Are there some famous Morrowind Lotr mods out there actually? Haven't seen much of those (at least not for Morrowind).
I would like this comment but you are at 69 likes…niiice.
"what is a front door? A miserable little pile of secrets!"
Love that SotN reference
Eh
But enough knocks... Have at you!
I remember that 4chan maymay!
Caius Cosades seems more like the drug addiction version of Aragorn, I mean he is the head if the blades in Morrowind, so it kind of makes sense in that regard.
he can stop whenever he wants
More lore accurate than Shadow of War
This video just makes me sad that we STILL do not have an Elder Scrolls style singleplayer open-world LOTR RPG.
Shadows of Mordor still does it nicely
One that takes place in numenor would be badass
Lord of the rings online is pretty good
@@chapocademesquit i would recommend the second game. The nemesis system is 👌 plus the DLC are actually great. Monolith still knocking it out of the park years down the line
Uncle Sweetshare is clearly Tom Bombadil.
The best part about this? Pippin narrates the entire thing🤣🍻
“Do you have questions?”
“I have desires.”
That’s some Mac from Always Sunny level of quip delivery my dude.
So this is how you honour the Sixth House and the tribe unmourned?
Elijah Wood-Elf
"Frodo reaches the gates of mordor. He flings himself over with a temporary spell. Poor frodo.......he didnt realized or wore off when he landed......"

" What is a front door? A miserable little pile of secrets." I love it!
I slowly pulled my hand out of my pants like frfr i was like this man read my mind
Wait a minute... Icarian flight is supposed to make you go WAY higher than that. Very strange.
He was weighed down by alot of items
@@elcid6301 Actually, his fatigue was too low.
@@BoToChris No, encumbrance *definitely* affects jump height. I'm not sure if anyone has managed to put together what the jump height formula is through data point collection yet, but as far as I know it's still not something we really have access to, unless someone over on OpenMW development figured it out, and I wouldn't be suprised if they did, I remember seeing a thread on it awhile back, but I didn't see any conclusive formula proposals. Even so, though, it's very-much agreed upon that encumbrance affects jump height/distance, and it's very easy to see. Go into game, set your acrobatics to some high number with console commands, and then give yourself varying levels of encumbrance. You'll see a very clear effect.
@@Lunam_D._Roger It's a mixture of both problems. Encumbrance definitely affects jump height but, as with pretty much everything else in Morrowind, fatigue also plays a major role in the calculations. I'm not exactly sure which has the larger role overall, but both are extremely noticeable, at least in regards to the Scrolls of Icarian Flight. It just so happens that he had both low fatigue and high encumbrance effectively creating a worst of both worlds scenario.
@@BoToChris Yes.
The amount of times I was yelling in my head, that you'd do everything so much easier if you just waited for your stam to fill up....
So believe it or not, The Elder Scrolls has loads of lore about climate, some of which has never appeared in games but content outside the games, and Bethesda has said they often refer to climate when designing environments
So the lore says that Morrowind tends to be more on the temperate to hot side, I think thats mentioned in the in game book "on Morrowind" even. But for obvious reasons its even hotter near Red Mountain. I saw one source when fact checking myself that noted the cloud movements indicating a southerly wind, but this is not stated in any official material as far as I know. However a southerly wind would explain why the souther coast of Vardenfell is more habitable, implying that it would be cooler, and the north coast would be a little hotter. The southeast coast is wet and warm. An NPC when you ask about geography says its climate is similar to Black Marsh
You are correct that an active volcano does not necessarily mean a region will be hot, but in this case, it is
Was totally waiting for you to have the Caldera naked guy follow you into Mordor as your trusty Sam.
NICE JOB!!! This was my favorite video of yours so far ^^
"Are you drinking a beer?"
Yes. Beer AND wine.
I’ve been playing game of the year edition for 16 years and I’ve never gotten the dark brotherhood guy to wake me up in my sleep
Challenge runs are always a great joy to watch.
Just found out about your channel, this is awesome, thanks for keeping Morrowind alive!
Watching his later video I'm still unsure if he knows low fatigue affects jump hight.
I'm unsure if he know fatigue effects basically everything
This is a genius idea! Ive gotta try this, do you mind if people do response videos to you challenges?
Go for it dude!
@@MickyD haha thanks, great video btw, watching it now.
I think il give myself a time limit of maybe 7 days or something, prevent me from grinding around
Oh and permadeath
Local skooma addict believes himself the chosen one; jumps down a volcano, leaving the local population confused.
The ease with which Mickey can kill my boy R'aviir on every playthrough makes me worry about his mental health
Battle for Middle Earth is great. Imo still holds up well.
I think you not swiping the Grandmaster alchemist kit in Caldera physically hurt me
Why? Unless you plan on making potions i havnt found an NPC that will buy it, creeper won’t, if anyone knows who buys them would love to know.
@@HamTheBacon Isn't Quality Health Potions marshmarrow and wickwheat? I mean the health and levitate potions aren't too hard to make 🤷🏻♂️
@@aquaop1 idk much about Morrowind, i’m more of a fallout person myself, haven’t played Morrowind in years.
@@aquaop1 racer plumes and trama root which are both plenty in ashlands are very best ingredients for levitation potions tho he definitelly should have got some sort of slowfall spell/amulet considering he mainly died from falling.
@@HamTheBacon Pretty much any alchemist will buy the alchemy stuff and the potions. Get friendly with the Telvanni, they are very useful!
The thing about Post Ebonheart DLC Morrowind is that, really, you're NEVER alone.
I only just found Mickey and it's cuz I was doing research into doing my first ever morrowind run. This dude gave me a good luagh glad I found ya recently.
Elijah Would? WHAT DO YOUR ELF EYES SEE?
This was wonderful. Its so cool that I found this old video today.
Epic fucking journey. I love watching you struggle through Morrowind severely underlevelled and relying on everything and anything you can get your hands on. Reminds me of the way I played my first playthrough of it.
"Just because it has volcanoes does not mean it's like hot...temperamentally."
I would contend that Morrowind is indeed terminally pissed and ornery.
Elijiah wood elf, amazing
This guy is a legend. He is pushing this game to the limits of challaenges and exploration in 2021.
Im happy the one ring didnt corrupt you :) being on your own youd have been doomed to be another cliff racer in Vvanderfell in Red Mountain
"Cliffracer, F*ck Off." is my favorite cover of Seagulls, Stop It Now.
Thank you for a good laugh. Can't believe the predicaments you get into. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
🙃☕❤❤❤❤
I laughed so hard had my hands down my pants and was drinking tea when he said both !
you should totally try this one again with the multiplayer mod and get a sam in here with ya!
I'm very glad I found this channel
So you needed 3 more Wood Elves (Hobbits), 1 Breton (Aragorn), 1 Nord (Boromir), 1 High Elf (Legolas), 1 Dunmer (Because we don't have any Dwarves so these were close enough geographically) and 1 Vivec (Gandalf).
Here's the first game: *dies in dungeon*
Here's the second game: *walks 15 steps* (then dies in dungeon)
Here's the third game: walks up mountain, throws in ring.
Even the fuckin' mushroom trees walked in that game.
There's only one "Return" ok? And it ain't of the King, it's of the Jedi!
Fuckin aye.
Dude this is really good stuff
Thanks bro, i needed motivation to start it again... Morrowind is a curse! It will stay with you FOREVER!!!!
Caius Cosades is for sure Gandalf if Gandalf called it quits and started hittin the pipe a bit too much XD
Okay someone needs to make this a speedrun category.
There's a set of orcish armor in a crate on the top floor of the creeper house. You can take it without being reported or attacked.
murdering Ra'virr was always first stop in my original playthroughs
Poor Khajiit
Wow, a journey to remember. Kinda sucks how casually I used to play this game for the previous five hundred times
Great job Beebo Fargeths, you saved Seydaneen.
Now hold my skooma and pass me the jumping scrolls, watch this...
This is like a gamer version of putting on The Office. Comforting nostalgia with some dry humor make for excellent background entertainment
16:16
I remember thinking this exact thing. Morrowind was the first game I got (I was like 11) and it was so unbelievably difficult and scary (watching now it looks so jank, but at the time it literally felt like I was getting chased by the most terrifying specters). Seeing the stilt strider was always an unclenching of the bhole moment
4:27 me who just opened a beer and put my hand down my pants (simply for comfort)
When he was looking through the faces & looked at the one with a beard it was v leprechaunish..
I remember trying to do this a decade ago, well, without the ring as I was just trying to see if I could get there. I remember there was a full set of glass armor you could steal somewhere near the red mountain and I grabbed a ton of scrolls along the way. I failed miserably, but I'm glad to see someone years later prove it possible and I'm glad I didn't actually have to do it.
Love this Channel
Rewatching this makes me thing that challenge would be interesting in Oblivion.
The ring has to be the ring of burden from the mages guild quest and the volcano is inside the big oblivion gate near Bruma where you get the great sigil stone.
So basically start in the tunnels under the Imperial City like usual, then start the mages guild quest as soon as possible and do the Cheydinhal recommendation quest to get the ring, then do the main quest while being under the evil weight of the ring, and at the end throw it in the lava in the big gate.
im writing that down
Micky D the hand in the pants comment got me. Right love it
Enjoyed this 👍
The Hobbits should have taken the Scrolls of Icarian Flight to Mordor
Close to home to my current playthrough
Current is bosmer and I still don't know how I managed to get to a high level 50s+. But it was a slow slow start definitely one of the tougher races to start out as.
That hand down the pants comment took me off guard, had to rewind 😂
"What is a front door? A miserable little pile of secrets."
-Frodo the Impaler
this was hilarious. love your videos, man. \,,\
"I have desires" lmfao
12:03 Creeper? Should have called him Gollum! :D
18:10 and so it begins. Ever play the first South Park game ever made? Remember the turkeys? Turkeys.
I sadly did. I want to try it on the channel sometime. I remembered there was a kart racer too.
Imagine Fargoth finding out someone stole his ring just to jump into red mountain with it
My favorite part of Lord of the rings was when Frodo murdered a guy for his sword
They really didn't think out how much the assassins could break the game if Tribunal was turned on right away. They are basically gold fountains!
Gotta swim up river to get that athletics up quick
