The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Rat Combat Tips
1 of 6: You can quickly punch the rats to death before they do you much damage.
2 of 6: Or if you've already looted Captain Renault's body, you'll have a steel shortsword and an Akaviri katana.
3 of 6: Either of those weapons can kill the rats even quicker than your fists.
4 of 6: NOTE: If they keep killing you, you may need to start a new game with another character. Make him a Redguard so he'll be able to more easily kill the rats.
5 of 6: When they're both dead, raid their bodies for rat meat, which is a potion-making ingredient.
6 of 6: Also, cast the Heal Minor Wounds spell until you're back at full health.
