Well if you insist on playing 'ironman' the easiest way is to get your
alchemy skill up to 100 and make potions that Restore Health 500+
points for 999 seconds and make sure you don't run out of them. This
is *EASILY* doable if you have about 20000 gold and don't mind
layering your Fortify Intelligence potions. By the same method you can
Fortify Speed and Night Eye to ridiculous levels though taking Speed >
500 is not much fun and is in fact liable to get you killed since
minor mouse movements get you moving dramatically.
To me such things destroy the challenge so aren't as much fun as
having the "Magic RELOAD Spell" available to you. It's more fun to
actually put Difficulty to 100 and try to fight your way past the
Cliff Racers at levels 1-3...
