10 Video Games Bosses That Do The Work For You
5. Gray Prince - The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
In order to become the Arena Grand Champion in Oblivion, the player needs to defeat its current champion, called the Gray Prince. The orc is a veteran warrior who has never been defeated, and the duel with him is actually a pretty tough challenge. Thankfully, you don't actually have to fight him if you know how to manipulate him into throwing the fight.
Before challenging the Gray Prince to a duel, you can talk to him about his heritage. The orc will instruct you to visit an old fortress to find proof of his noble lineage, but what you find instead is a vampire who turns out to be the Gray Prince's father.
Revealing this information to the prince will cause him to have an existential crisis and spiral him into depression. When the player challenges him to a duel afterward, he will beg them to end his monstrous existence and pretty much throw himself at their blade.
This is the easiest way to earn the title of Grand Champion, but then again, it might not be so easy to get over the guilt of crushing a good man's spirit like that.
