The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Hero
1 of 5: Now things get *really* tough, starting with a very skilled former member of the Blades who has very good equipment and knows how to use it. Bring extra healing potions for this one, and make sure your magic weapons are fully recharged.
2 of 5: Next is a spellcaster with some devastating Destruction magic spells, plus a magic shield that makes her immune to magic. You'll want to close with her and kill her off as quickly as possible. (You'll also hate more than ever that you can't pick up an opponent's fallen equipment, since that shield is *very* useful and valuable.)
3 of 5: The third battle is going to be the worst yet by far. You'll face the Yellow Team's champion, plus her supporting archer and spellcaster. You have to kill all three to win, and the fact that some stupidly named boar will be fighting on your side probably won't help much.
4 of 5: You'll need to use the most powerful magic weapons and staffs (Goldbrand and Apotheosis immediately come to mind) combined with lots of dodging and potion-drinking to make it through this one. It would also help if you had some good Chameleon items to wear (see the Enchanting Tips).
5 of 5: One strategy is to charge forward a bit and start using Apotheosis to fry opponents, then retreat back down the corridor to the Bloodworks door while using Apotheosis on the closest opponent. Then switch to Goldbrand or some other really powerful magic sword to slash the survivors. If you were accurate with Apotheosis and someone gets snagged on your boar companion, this should work really well.
