Draugr Scourge Combat Tips
1 of 5: There are restless draugr inside the two sarcophagi that are next to the throne, and they'll break out the moment you attack the draugr scourge.
2 of 5: However, it is possible to avoid that happening. Instead of waking the scourge up by attacking it, get close to it and try to activate it. That'll get it up and going without releasing the other draugr.
3 of 5: Quickly run around to the area behind the throne, where there's a big chanting Word Wall. Go up the log steps near it and crouch down, then watch your Stormcloak allies fight the scourge.
4 of 5: It'll probably kill everyone but Galmar, and then cause him to collapse. When that happens, it may come after you, but it'll probably wander around aimlessly until Galmar recovers and attacks it again.
5 of 5: Keep waiting (and making sure the scourge doesn't see you) until Galmar manages to kill it.
