3 times ina row, ghost with an Ax in the last room one hit kills me no matter where my health is, axe to the shoulder driving me face first into the ground lol.

I have no health potions, and healing isn't helping!!

I hit him with mark of death, have ebony flesh, enchated ebony blade, and a conjured flame atronach, plus aela!.

unlucky or what.

any help?

I try to funnel them through a doorway, but this guy just keeps ransacking me for a kill cam ;[

Turn the difficulty down or use hit-and-run tactics.

This happened to me as well. A companion ghost wielding a two handed axe kept getting crit hits and killing me in one shot. I ended up just shooting him with a bow lol

Try shouting then keeping your distance. Get behind a pillar and plink him with arrows. You didn't mention your race, one that allows you regenerate health/stamina quickly for a short time may help. Berserker Rage as an Orc is incredibly helpful.

You got Ebonyflesh but not any offensive spells? What about bows?
Try attacking from distance or try making Aela tank him.

Yeah, when "hit and run" isn't working, just plain "run" can work. You don't need to kill them yourself, so just let everybody else get stuck in while you back off.

Yeah it was hard for me too. Here's an easy trick if you just can't get through that part (btw, it's not the last room, it's the second to last room) - when you open the gates, walk into the room just enough to get the ghosts to spawn, then run quickly back and close the gates. Then pick them off with a bow and arrow through the gates while you are protected.

these guys are always a pain. Aela seems to be no help at all.

back up and keep Aela in front of you and then you have more of a chance to beat them.

are u a pure mage? If so that's the problem. Give your mage armor. Light or heavy I don't care but robes are lackluster in this game and Alteration doesn't do enough to make up for those problems. Just wear armor. Did wonders for my mage

worst part was, I have light armor in the 60's, one handed in the 60's, destruction in the 60's, and perk tree's halfway filled on destruction, one handed, light armor.

I used ebony flesh, conjure atronach, and had Aela as a follower. I'd hit them all 4 with fireball spells 3-4 times, and try letting aela and the atronach fight them, but the ghost's would just run through them, either completely ignoring them, or one hitting them to the ground instantly, then if I tried running, they'd come at me like olympic sprinters until they cornered me somewhere. If I had some health potions it'd have been doable, but i used em all just to get to that point.

I just turned it down to novice ;x I wanted to unbecome a werewolf, and after 11 attempts I gave up like a coward ;[

Hit and run till they die.
They can be beaten. They don't heal much, just keep hitting and running, heal the others and they go down eventually. Summon stuff. Put magic traps then run way.
Don't give up, they do die.

Maybe your level is just too low. My mage was level 33 when she did it and it was hard.
They're not scaled enemies, I think.
Just grind a bit, go back with your best stuff and you will do it eventually.

yeah I was like 35 or 36, and I never knew closing the gate would stop them lmao. I assumed ghost's= they can float through a gate. Wow If I had known that it'd have gone much smoother.

My problem mainly was no health or magic potions, so once I cast a few spells, I was on my own and had to pray for a couple kill cams. But they always got the critical hit before I could.

I copped out and lowered it ;x
