The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Combat Tips

  • 1 of 5: It really helps to have an ally with you, like a summoned creature.
  • 2 of 5: Malifant's main special power is to resurrect himself after you kill him the first time.
  • 3 of 5: Try to sneak up on him and deal him some sneak-attack damage to start with, then finish him off as quickly as you can.
  • 4 of 5: As soon as he dies, loot him of all his items. That way, he won't have them when he's resurrected.
  • 5 of 5: Watch out for a couple of other undead coming to his aid due to newly opened walls when he's resurrected. (This is when it's most handy to have a summoned ally to help you.)
