Yeah, I didn't think it was possible either, you took it just yourself with that equipment, I remember it used to take like 2 tamers each with 3 dragons each.

Re: Toe-to-Toe with an Ancient Wyrm
An epic moment in UOSA History (indeed, in UO history).
Youtube video has been posted:

If you haven't seen it, you should!
As an aside, this makes me wonder what the "pinnacle" of PvM in UO is; I'm quite certain that this ancient wyrm solo is the pinnacle of a 1v1 with monster (unless you were to include stablemasters as "monsters")...
Outside of 1v1, I suppose you could always just add another monster to the equation and say "an ancient wyrm + an orc--I have now surpassed the previous record". Regardless, I think a good challenge would be both Balrons (at the same time) in the Terathan Keep. If that's too easy, maybe throw in a couple of terathan avengers... heheh.

Most people like us, or at least they like what we do. Regardless, we appreciate all our victims, and we hope that their encounter with us is a memorable one.

Awesome to see this on YT, thanks! My laptop couldn't handle making a video recording of the RPV.
Two balrons is doable, especially because you could use parrying for most of the confrontation. Two terathan avengers would be harder because of their poisoning... that was the biggest difficulty here. I had 100 Parrying, but didn't use a shield because you need to drink an orange potion at a moment's notice. Disarming a shield, drinking an orange, and re-arming the shield is 3 full seconds. If 1 bandage is used to cure poison instead of heal you, you're dead, because that's essentially 30 seconds in which your only method of healing is yellow potions.

Re: Toe-to-Toe with an Ancient Wyrm
I dispute the claim that 2 Theratan Avengers would be tougher than 2 Ophidian Avengers or Knight Errants, and still tougher than those: 2 PE's.

Re: Toe-to-Toe with an Ancient Wyrm
I don't think anyone claimed that I think any of the above would be harder than 2 balrons, and I think we agree on that.
I thought KE's were the same as Terathan Avengers in all but looks? Maybe I'm wrong. In 1999-2000, each of them absolutely destroyed me with equal prejudice.

Re: Toe-to-Toe with an Ancient Wyrm
You're thinking about Ophidian Avengers and KE's, which are basically the same. Theratan Avengers, are a whole nother issue, and are devoured by Ophidian Avengers or KE's in no time.

Re: Toe-to-Toe with an Ancient Wyrm
Yeah, I thought the spider avengers were equal as well.
I'm going to look into this... I didn't provoke them much on UOSA, and of course never tried to sit amongst them and fight them, but I could have sworn that Stratics for example listed them as equivalent. And another UO emulator I fooled around with (UOX3) had them as basically equivalent as well.

Re: Toe-to-Toe with an Ancient Wyrm
No, Thera avengers use magic and do lvl 4 poison, Ophid Avengers and KE's don't do magic but do dealy poison...and hit much, MUCH harder that Theratans.

Re: Toe-to-Toe with an Ancient Wyrm
I think they both do Lvl 5 ("X spasms uncontrollably")--isn't Deadly poison Lvl 4? ("X is wracked with extreme pain").
I do think that Ophidians knight / avenger have more hit points than terathan avengers though.

Re: Toe-to-Toe with an Ancient Wyrm
Dunno what lvl is which, I just know Thera's do 1 lvl lower, and CAN be poisoned by Ophids...Ophids can't be poisoned by Theratans ("The poisons has no effect" thing).

Re: Toe-to-Toe with an Ancient Wyrm
tera avengers would go down faster but would have a way better chance of killing you off the bat with a few flamestrikes. i think ophid ke/avengers wouldnt really be a threat if you had full invuln plate and a keg of oranges on you, since they don't cast anything.

Re: Toe-to-Toe with an Ancient Wyrm
Have you ever been hit by one? They'll mess you up before you can get a bandage and 2 yellows in...and since you won't be able to parry...good luck! You'd have to run out to get a GHeal in, but that would not be going toe-to-toe.nightshark wrote:tera avengers would go down faster but would have a way better chance of killing you off the bat with a few flamestrikes. i think ophid ke/avengers wouldnt really be a threat if you had full invuln plate and a keg of oranges on you, since they don't cast anything.
