Tribunal talk:Gaenor

Anyone tried giving millions?

Has Anyone tried giving him money in the millions? I got to the hundred thousands. But he asks you for one maybe ten million gold. I've been wondering: What if you did have that much. IT IS POSSIBLE!!! But very hard. Just keep selling High Ordinator armor to the smith. But I've never gotten around to it, as to that could take a VERY long time. I myself carry around 700k. — Unsigned comment by Example (talk • contribs) at 21:12 on 28 April 2010 (GMT)

It IS possible, but there's no benefit to doing so. The end results are exactly the same no matter how much you give him, and you'll never get any of it back, so the wisest decision is simply to not give him anything. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 07:39, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

If I recall correctly, at one point in his dialog tree, if you attempt to give him the insane amount he asks for, he calls you a liar, saying that you couldn't possibly have that much gold on your person, and that you're just making fun of him. This results in him getting just as mad at you as if you'd said no, so the end result is the same. 72.28.170.64 09:56, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

on an unrelated note, they're not kidding when they say that he's one of the toughest enemies in the game. I fought him recently with a mage on difficulty 100, and he reflected, resisted, and otherwise shrugged off everything that I threw at him, all while taking away about half my health every time he swung his sword. I finally resorted to the caster's universal plan B: summons. It worked, but he hacked through at least ten golden saints and who knows how many other critters--while being swarmed, mind you--before they finally took him down. even with custom "summon five things at once" spells i was having trouble casting fast enough to keep creatures in the field. That same trick took down Vivec in literally half the time.--Reason.decrystallized 17:44, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Gaenor's Toughness

I know I've personally complete Tribunal including killing Gaenor before level 30, so it is definitely quite possible. Obviously, beating him varies based on player equipment and strategy (magic doesn't cut it). Still, saying that level 45 is 'recommended' to beat him is wildly over estimating his strength, so I lowered the number back to 30. --Ratwar 01:07, 22 February 2008 (EST)

I know that I beat the main quest at lvl 26 and before that I beat Tribunal, it was with relative ease, which is to say that I killed him in two tries. I recall that the dungeon with slaves (Addamasartus?) close to Seyda Neen was a hell of a lot more trouble (since I decided to walk to balmora after getting off the ship). So in fact Gaenor was 'easier' at lvl 26- than Addamasartus was at lvl 1 (hence relatively easy) — Unsigned comment by Korunox (talk • contribs) at 11:56 on 22 February 2008 (GMT)

I've also beaten him in the mid-20s, but more through blind luck than judgement. One time, I threw a couple of darts (from the Black Dart mob) at him. Of course, he threw one back and almost killed me, but I still won. --Gaebrial 10:20, 23 February 2008 (EST)

Any magic user with a powerful reflect spell or the royal signet ring and ranged spell could easily kill Gaenor.As firing at spell at Gaenor will most likely bounce right off of him and if you casted a reflect spell fast it enough or just have a constant effect reflect item (royal signet ring) it will bounce back.Reflect can only reflect spells once and since Gaenor already reflected the spell he will be forced to take the damage.

Warning:Spell casters may want to cast a powerful Sanctuary,Shield,Elemental(Fire,Shock,&,Frost)Shield,Restore Health,Fortify Agility,Fortify Luck,Fortify Speed,Fortify Light,Heavy,Medium Armor Skill,and Fortify Unarmored Skill spell,As If your a beginner trying to do this Gaenor may just kill you right after combat begins or He may kill you before you get to a safe place to cast ranged spells.Maybe even a summon spell to distract him while you run or shoot at him. — Unsigned comment by 71.104.221.108 (talk) at 03:07 on 28 September 2009 (GMT)

I got him with the boots of blinding speed, cuirass of the saviour and a good bow. Just kept running backwards shooting him full of arrows, he didn't even get one hit in. Don't lure him up the stairs though, as he tends to get stuck following you around a corner. Marcel 06:51, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

OMG ur not kidding

ok you are right he is soooooooooooooooooooooo hard i mean it took me an hour of slashing to kill him. but im soooooooooooooo proud because i just killed him on my first try( im lvl 7 an only got 74 health too so try figuring that one out). YAY ME!!!! :] (Sdharly 02:38, 18 September 2009 (UTC))

VERY hard...

Im level 8, I completed the morrowind main quest... Dont ask how i did it. Im glad i was actually loaded with potions from the fight with dagoth ur that i didnt use, and i forgot to sell/store them... I hit him like twice, and took literally 1/24th of his health away, and then he started running away after my second hit... Then i just loaded up with fortify attribute potions that i had and eventually killed him... I stopped paying him after 1,000... 66.188.135.246 02:04, 17 October 2009 (UTC)Epicrules

Rumors

I'm not sure when, but I think Barenziah mentiones something about "beggars being very rude in Mournhold". Well, like in the article about Ranis, should this information be added? --Kertaw48 14:49, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

It's not just Barenziah - it's a "latest rumor": "Beggars are really becoming a problem in Mournhold. They just won't take 'no' for an answer. Sure, this is Almalexia's City of Love and Charity. But sometimes I want to smack those whining pests." Yeah, I suppose it's worth adding... rpeh •T•C•E• 15:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Easy way

One way to deal with him is to just attack him before talking to him. Unarmed and unarmored, he's a bit hard to hit, but not very difficult to kill.

Of course, there's little point in doing so. You might as well just avoid him. — Unsigned comment by 88.166.211.161 (talk) at 20:48 on 15 June 2010 (GMT)

duplicated gaenor bug

my game had a bug that after gaenor gets angry, another gaenor appears asking for money, i thought it was the same one so i talked to him again. 2 days later i was running away from 2 angry gaenors. almost shitted my pants when i saw 2 of him there. — Unsigned comment by 93.172.122.150 (talk) at 16:45 on 14 August 2010 (GMT)

How Much???

I ordered Morrowind yesterday (for my birthday) and I started looking in Morrowind pages. Soon enough I ended in Tribunal, and after wondering a bit I ended up here. I read the page, and he has 770 Luck? How the heck are you supposed to hit this guy? I checked the CS (which I have without the game, although there are many problems), and I saw that his base Luck is 255, but he has an ability that gives him 500 Luck, making it 755, plus 15 from his amulet it is 770. But as I said above, how the heck are you supposed to hit him? --Rigas Papadopoulos • Talk • Deeds • 07:38, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Keep trying. He's a tough fight. rpeh •T•C•E• 09:27, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

According to the CS, he also has 80-100 Resist Magicka, 50-100 Reflect, and 1 pt Restore health from the same ability. Not only is he hard to hit, he also regenerates. See above for a few strategies. --Keyword314 09:18, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

armor

if you cast bound armor on him will he put his armor on after it wears off? (Eddie the head 05:40, 29 January 2011 (UTC))

Really Easy

I'm at a relativaly low level (17), but I beat this easily. I think it's because my lv. 100 long blade skill countered his luck, he wasn't hard to hit. If you have a high level of any weapon skill, I think he probably isn't very difficult. Halfstache 20:41, 5 July 2011 (UTC)halfstache

I dont know but you could try drinking alot of grief. — Unsigned comment by 160.7.243.152 (talk) at 02:15 on 18 November 2011
