When I first started Oblivion (playing on the PS3), I realised just how much I love wandering around, doing small quests etc. I put off closing the first Oblivion gate (Kvatch) and instead tried to improve certain skills, carry out sub tasks, improve my sneaking etc.
So now I’m level 3 and thought – let’s go and sort out that Oblivion Gate…
Firstly, those stunted scamps are a right pain! Luckily my Flare spell seems to help kill them. I’ve managed to get up to the tower…so far so good.
And now I’m stuck. In the “Blood Feast”, there’s a fiery pit thing in the first room and 2 stunted scamps (easy to kill when there’s just 1, but 2 are trickier). Then – out of one of the passages to the east/west pops out what I believe to be a Dremora Churl…and it’s game over:
This dude seems invincible to all my weapons, he seems to be resistant to fire, and manages to kill me in 2/3 blows. I’ve tried and failed numerous times to kill him!
I’m playing as a wood elf. My available weapons are rather simple/weak: bows, long/short swords, a large hammer etc. I do not have any useful spells (only Flare, or moonshadow – which i can only use once per day).
Suggestions I’ve had from two Oblivion playing mates are:
a) reload from the last save game and practice conjuring beings to help
b) reload from the last save game and acquire a staff which is much more powerful at killing beings than my current measly arsenal!
I’d really like to not reload from the save if possible – so if anyone has any other ideas on how to defeat the above Dremora, please let me know!

run past him… get all the way to the Sigil, steal it, and stay away from everything
that works if you don’t get hit, lol!

Tricky one – but after playing a hunter on world of warcraft for over a year I’d probably try to maintain my distance, and strafe around whilst spamming flare/arrows.
The best thing about Oblivion is that it’s open though, so you can just leg it away, level up, and come back. The enemies will scale with your level though…
Might dust off my copy of oblivion and see if I can solve this!

Tomas is right. Its hard to beat some of the major opponents until you’ve got higher level spells, so the best advice would be to try to sneak or run past them. Save Moonshadow until you get to the top as you’ll have a number of serious baddies to get past!

one of the things found really helpful was slow leveling. that way, when you level up, you get more stat upgrades than regular leveling, or fast leveling. put most of ur major skills as one u dun use. that way, each time you get enough major skills to level, ull have plenty of minor skills (which you use a lot) and instead of 1 level giving you a 1-2 stat boost in strength if you have u preffered wep on major, ull get about 5. this way, the monsters will still be relatively low level, while you have hih stats.
