The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine Hints
Combat Tips
1 of 7: You should try to sneak up behind Drothan and hit him with some powerful sneak-attack damage to start things off.
2 of 7: Then summon a creature if you can to help you attack him.
3 of 7: Another thing you could try is restoring the autosave that was made when you entered the area. That will often cause Msirae Faythung to come to life and attack Drothan.
4 of 7: Hide while the battle is going on so neither of the combatants will see you.
5 of 7: After Drothan is killed (you'll get a journal entry), go back up the stairs and return to the Varsa Baalim area.
6 of 7: When you reenter the Nefarivigum, Faythung will be reset to being inanimate in his coffin.
7 of 7: Or if Drothan actually manages to beat Faythung, do your best to sneak-attack him and finish him off quickly.
