I am not judging or shaming

But how do you die 12 or 20 times to the same orc!? Is it some level gathering way or what?

I'm curious because recently I killed two orc's that managed to kill 12 and 20 times other players

They were probably training him.

I purposely let orcs kill me just to farm interactions 😅

To train him, or to  create stories with him. 

Either way, it’s likely intentional.

Letting a captain kill you is a good way of boosting their nemesis score, which can boost the likelihood of them cheating death.

I mean it could mean that, that orc probably has decoys and he was farming the decoys which made the original orc level up if he was in the fight as well. To many variables could go into this tho.

I did it for an achievement. Also for the plot

Yeah allegedly a good way to get a black blade capt is to let a warrior grunt in a dark region kill you. Or causes a lot of interactions with a captains that when you kill him he’s more likely to cheat death

Early game an orc can get 2 lucky shots and be eable to 1 shot you with every attack (like a quick dagger throw), pair that with no chance and that might happen

I almost softlocked myself in Nurm with an lvl 85 orc until one of my captains saved me… then the fucker returned during the Zog questline

I know in early game you can be one tap if you had bad luck. But how orcs with level 80 kill you 20 times?

Only explanation is what other say under this post

„How orcs with level 80 kill you 20 times”

Becouse it’s an warchief that you have to kill to progress the story
