Just thought I'd let anyone know who is thinking of using this plug-in...the Liche at the end of this quest is ONE serious tough cookie. Probably tougher than anything you will face in this game unless you decide to take on Vivec or maybe Dagoth Ur without killing too many Ash Vampires.
Took my level 17 Morag Tong Assasin in there with Goldbrand and it was like hitting it with a plastic fork. I had to retreat.
Took my Level 26 battlemage in there with a Daedric Battle Axe (and the usual "stuff") and got trounced.
Finally took my level 31 Nevarine Worrier in there equipped with Sunder and the Wraithgaurd and took it down. But only after I had to retreat once and run around the columns healing up while he chased me.
The dude is fast and never seems to run out of magika even though I hit him with damage magika and intelligience spells over and over. He doesnt reflect much as I could see but it doesn't seem to matter. He might be absorbing...hmmm.
Also I don't know what his agility is...but man this thing will not stumble or fall and I hit this thing maybe 30 times with Sunder on a character with about 115 strength. He don't go down and Sunder is a hammer.
Anyway he is beatable but only by a top flight PC with some serious artifacts. If you bring your little "party" they will all be killed or you will end up killing some of thenm yourself with "friendly fire" from one of your spells or Sunder. I left them outside after they cleared out the division of skeleton worriers. (Took em back out actually). You can clear out the skeletons just back keeping everyone against the door. They will come to you and the Liche won't attack because he is way back against the other wall and can't see you. Your party is good for that.
Also don't even think about using a medium artifact. It'll just bounce off him. Only top of the line stuff will hurt him at all.
When I came back I was by myself. (I ran past my partry and entered the tomb before they could catch up). My plan of attack was to buff up (Soul Ring/Blood ring) use a long lasting invisibility spell and run up the isle straight at him then lay into him fast and hard. Don't let up for an instant unless you have to run for it. He is not stunned all that much when you hit him like the wimpy Ash Vampires are...just keeps fighting and raining some immensely powerful destruction spells on you.
Anyway if this is what we have to look forward to in Tribunal it's gonna rock.
Oh yeah, my Battle Mage finally did take him out as a level 36 Arch Mage of the Guild. Trebonius Amulet is a VERY powerful artifact, one of the best in the game. Of course you gotta kill Trebonius to get it.
