Challenge: The Crow

[Discarded]

i was gonna do this, but then i realize i'd have to give up two spell schools that i like.

i'm wondering, if i wait until the last minute to "discover" the acheivement, could i kill crows on the same character if i haven't discovered the acheivement yet?

i think some acheivements do have this loop hole, wondering if anyone knows from experience

[Nerimo]

Nope. If you kill a crow at any point of the run, its noted and the challenge fails, even if you havent got it yet.

Recap: You can fail a challenge before you get it, but you cant complete a challenge before you get it.

I've completed this challenge... wow, that was REALLY hard! :)
especially because you can't use Ice and Mind (Mental) magic.
but one can kill even the magicians in Magic Tower, those who are sphere-protected.

and I started a new game, to complete this challenge.

What methot you use to destroy those mages with sphare protection edi?

[bad]

Sleep, then wait for their shield to disappear. Then big ass fire bomb

[valodis]

yea i know about sleep, but if you try get this challange you cant complete quest what reward is Mind macig (must kill crow to get black feather). If i say something wrong, fix me guys :)

Sleep belongs to Mind Magic which you can't get when doing this challenge so this will not work.

Nevertheless there are other spells one can use against them:
- Summon Fire Spirit (Fire Level 10)
- Arcane Control (Arcane Level 1)
- Polymorph (Alteration Level 15)

Also the Skull pet is very effective against those mages.

Woa for the love of tamriel dont use Polymorph. It doesnt count as a kill, which means you have to kill the ckicken. Whats the problem with that you ask? pressing Tab DOES NOT lock on to them.

There is no need to kill any chickens.

If it's kills you're after i.e. for the 5k or 10k achivements ignore the mages and let them summon an endless stream of skeletons to bash away on.

Hm, I totally didn't think about sleep being a Mental ability... I'm not really that far, with only one completed playthrough and three Challenges done (Wet Floor, Potions, Good Commence)

I used Fire Spirits. From 3 to 7 at one time. They fly to the skeletons which run to you, and if you quickly kill these skeletons, the spirits will fly upper, to the magos :)
