why Draugr Deathlords are so deadly?!

I m a fine archer level 30 with a high proficiency in light armor and sneak, yet he detects me much better than other enemies, and even nice enough not to shout, a couple of his arrows kill me even don't have time to heal myself!

i'd rather sneak and run away. any better combat strategy would be appreciated

Because they eat noobs for breakfast

They aren't with the right gear, i find them quite easy on master with my heavy armor S&S Nord, just block and punch back on them, lvl 50 + daedric armor and sword they go down rather easily.

Because they're the lords of death.

B/C they are deathlords

i'm not good with heavy armor, melee, block let's keep running then!

Cowards Secret: use Marked for Death on anyone who is too much of a big meeny and then run away.

Then, when they are hurt and weak, kill them.

>get light armour
>train better with the bow
>train even more with alchemy
>gather deathbells, nightshade, canis root, thingy heart, chauris eggs and vampire dust
>create super toxic poisons, paralysis poisions and invisibility potions
>even on hard mode this can prove to be a deadly hit against draugr deathlords

Yeah, they can be tough. My current character is similar to yours, and I'm avoiding enchanting/perks I feel are overpowered. Right now, my current way to defeat them is to use an invisibility potion (I make my own), get behind them, and get the sneak bonus damage. Right now my bonus damage is 12x with the 6x backstab perk and dark brotherhood gloves (avoiding the 15x at the moment), and it takes their health down almost a third. After that, I normally try my best to dodge it's attacks, and when I see it getting ready to shout, I unequip my blade so I don't get disarmed. Normally I use Mehrune's razor on the off chance I can get an insta kill somewhere during the battle. If I don't, I usually have to use at least one health potion. Invis potions are a lot of fun and very useful, you should consider trying to buy or make some. I recommend making them, because they are expensive. Also, paralysis poisons can save you a ton of trouble. I made a few the other night that get 9 seconds of paralysis. Can be very helpful.

sneak attack!

Consider yourself lucky that you find some challenge in the game still.

i was gonna say that

because they are the only ones who can actually do something... together with master icemages. the rest is decoration for the whole game.

Well... at least look at it this way.... they're NOT lords of acid...

we'd have draugr with glow sticks, party favors, and really loud music raving through all of the tombs...

This. They wouldn't be much of a deathlord otherwise.

brb modding this in

OMG... DO post a video!! lol

atleast the Forsworn arent doing that. I hear they love Hagraving.
YEAAAAHHHHHHHHH

should really be in the spoilers section, right?

I mean I'm not the forum police but this gen discussion is especially bulky lately

I use the slow time shout and go to town

*facepalm* I am never going to be able to look at hagravens the same way again... lol

They're not that deadly but the way they spam shouts and ragdoll me is ridiculous...fighting several at once always turns into a fus ro dah nightmare

i didn't know that undeads may also get poisoned or paralyzed! doesn't make any sense!! but i will try your arrow+poison formula


thanks! your strategy worked fine... though i m not as high-level as you are! i tried the sneak melee strike and he killed me! still need to get better in sneak... and with the shout thing!
