*SPOILER* Keeping Martin Safe?

[rcRaCer]

Hey all

Well I have gotten Martin killed about 50 times this weekend, any tricks on how to keep him alive till the 4th gate opens?

TIA

Al

If you have access to the Altar of Spellmaking,
make a rather long duration Paralyze and Invisibility spell. But that would cost much magicka.

Or make yourself as a bait so Martin don't get killed, but this tactic requires you to be rather powerful

Did you complete the Allies for Bruma quest?

[rcRaCer]

Yeah I did all the allies for burma quests. Suer am doing something wrong here tho... back at it this weekend.

Thanks
Al

are you the listener of the dark brotherhood or arch mage? then bring an apprentice and a murderer with you, they should give you a slight adavantage
also you can take guys with you that would follow you for quests(im thinking about oreyn, whos a very tough customer to enemy npcs)
summon creatures
make sure martin doesnt get attacked(obviously!)
are you a mage or an archer? make sure you dont hit him!
attack anyone who DOES dare attack him
heal him with restoration

and if that doesnt help...
lower difficulty...
(however this shouldnt be a problem cuz when i play this on hardest martins still alive and well when i hardly pay attention to him)

Don't wait for the Gates to send out a lot daedra; if you do, you don't stand a chance. As soon as you enter the Temple district with Martin, SAVE GASME, rush towards the temple and turn right until you see Dagon. Run back to Martin and enter dialogue with him. Finish up by asking him to follow you. SAVE GAME. Run back towards Dagon, and past him, to enter the Temple door. Martin should make it through with you. If not, check outside to see if he is there, and re-enter. If he got killed, reload last save and try again. Once both of you are in the Temple, nothing can stop Martin succeeding.
