The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Jyrik Gauldurson Combat Tips
1 of 7: Watch the draugr until it wakes up, then stay on the upper floor as Tolfdir goes after it.
2 of 7: It'll soon come after you, but don't start attacking it yet. It's invincible at first.
3 of 7: Run around and dodge its attacks until Tolfdir shouts "There! Now attack it!"
4 of 7: You'll then be able to harm it, though note that it has a cycling magic shield on it that protects it from particular elements.
5 of 7: You can tell what type of shield the draugr currently has from its visual effect. For instance, if you see flames on it, you'll know that it's immune to fire damage.
6 of 7: Either hit it with spells that it's not currently protected against, or just use weapons if you have some that are fairly powerful.
7 of 7: Another thing you can do is run over to the table and grab the draugr's magic staff from it. Try getting it stuck by running around and around the table (preferably in a clockwise direction), then zap it with its own staff.
