The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Combat Tips

  • 1 of 4: Stay near the door that leads back to the main cavern area and retreat there if overwhelmed. They can follow you through the door, but aren't likely to.
  • 2 of 4: Also, if you leave some behind and then return to their area, they may "forget" about you, allowing you to get in a couple of free blows.
  • 3 of 4: Watch out for the swinging mace trap at the entrance to their first big room -- maneuver so it hurts them and not you.
  • 4 of 4: When you kill a necromancer, immediately raid his body to find lots of strong healing and magicka-restoring potions. Those can help you stay alive while fighting the remaining necros.
