how do i kill a "hate of defeat" enemy?
there is one captain, and everyime i see him i get him down to really low health but then he switches on his hate of defeat mode which means he is basically impossible to kill and blocks every attack. i cant grab and interogate him because there are 10 other enemies around me and it takes too long, and if i go to kill the other guys he shoots me with arrows and kills me. has anyone worked out a good method to kill these guys?

Use his fear/weakness against him and that will disable the hate of defeat ability.

That is your best option; Besides that, I'm not totally sure, but don't these only trigger once and wear off after a little while, making him vunerable for the 2nd kill?

Nope each time you encounter him he will trigger it.
I had a single Captain flee from battle 5 times in a row.

What if the captain doesn't have any weaknesses? That's my problem at the moment, this guy was no weakness but hate of defeat and I can't kill him.

I don't remember any tough captain with hate of defeat but I think I killed one at the lower level/beginning with fire as he was not immune to fire, if your captain isn't immune to fire I think you should try it.

Even if he has no weaknesses he can still be hurt and killed by regular sword hits, only ones that regular sword hits don't hurt are ones with shields.

Doesn't hate of defeat just cause him to enrage? So you get him down to 15% health by hitting him with your sword... he triggers hate of defeat, enrages, and goes back to 100% health... then you get him back down to 0% health with your sword and kill him.

Scare off the orcs first. Then guild the captain out of the stronghold. Fight him 1 on 1.
