The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
What's the best way to handle this combat?
1 of 6: As soon as you drop down, turn around and look on the left side of the drop-down for some rocks you can use to jump your way back up into the passage. Practice doing that a few times before you proceed.
2 of 6: After quicksaving, go up the log stairs that are on the right side of the chamber, then slowly approach the sarcophagus until Sigdis breaks out of it.
3 of 6: As soon as he does, turn around and sprint back for the drop-off, then jump your way back into the passage.
4 of 6: Immediately go into Sneak mode and get out your best bow or ranged combat spell. Sigdis is going to be teleporting himself around, plus creating glowing duplicates of himself.
5 of 6: After a couple of Sigdises have appeared, look for one that isn't glowing blue, and shoot it. If both of the Sigdises you see are glowing blue, shoot them both down, then look for the real Sigdis to appear on a ledge to the left.
6 of 6: Even if your Sneak skill is low, you probably won't ever come under attack, so take your time and keep shooting Sigdises until they stop appearing.
