This guide is specifically for the PC andXbox 360versions of the game.
Defend Melee Attacks Easily
Feeling kinda frightened by the big melee warrior coming towards you?
Items Slowing You Down?
Beat it down until it’s unconscious.
Usually, an unconscious character only provides you with a Talk option while it’s on the ground.
This is more useful than carrying everything in your personal inventory while in battle.
This trick works with the Xbox 360 and using the horse armor.
Enchanted weapons show up fairly often after level 5 or so.
The few extra points of damage per hit often make the difference between life and death.
That way, you will be airborne for as short a time as possible before starting a new jump.
Crouch to enter Sneak mode and press theAutoRunkey (Q by default on PC).
There are some guards nearby, so doing this will increase your Sneak skill.
Fun in the Air
This is not a real tip.
It’s just fun.
Jump into the air near an NPC and start a conversation with them.
You’ll stay in the air while the person is talking to you.
You’ll fall down when you exit the conversation.
Then, draw your bow and, while keeping it drawn, enter the inventory menu.
After that, find the item you want to duplicate and drop it.
This cheat only works if the number of items duplicated is lower than the number of arrows equipped.
confirm your bow is fully drawn when entering the inventory.
You won’t gain many levels, but neither will the enemies you face.
Tired of Being Over-Encumbered?
Tired of always being over-encumbered?
Here are some ways to reduce your load.
They require a somewhat higher Alchemy skill and entrance to the Arcane University.
Once there, run into the fenced garden.
The bear will chase you in.
Quickly run out before the bear kills you and swing the door shut behind you.
The bear will be trapped, and you might fire arrows or spells at him to kill him.
The toughest monster players end up fighting is the Minotaur Lord, up to three at a time.
The trick to defeating them is to retreat into the hall entrance to the Arena pit.
And for your trouble, you get 2,000 or more gold.
This solves all Speechcraft issues and is helpful with the Mercantile skill.
How to Get More Gold From the Count of Skingrad
The count of Skingrad is very forgetful.
However, he won’t remember that he gave you this reward.
Keep asking him about the reward for 2,500 gold.
High Acrobatics skill will let you jump high enough so the opponent can’t follow you.
Defeat them with ranged attacks like magic or bows.
If you fall off, or the enemy comes up, retry or find a better place to climb.
Head to Leyawiin (the city to the south).
Just outside the city, find a tomb called Amelion Tomb.
It’s located to the north, on the eastern side of the river.
Inside, find a complete set of light armor called Brusefs Amelion Armor.
It provides cold resist.
There’s also a longsword that adds 5 cold damage.
The pieces of armor are scattered in the tomb but they’re easy to find.
Stable buildings outside of towns work well.
There’s usually a way to jump onto the building from nearby hills or rocks.
Don’t store your things in random containers.
When the game refreshes, the items in that container may delete all your stuff.
EnterTDTagain to toggle the display of information on and off.
It also displays how many points you gained for each attribute.
Become 100 Percent Invisible
Want to become completely invisible?
Enchant five pieces of armor with the Chameleon effect.
You are now 100 percent invisible.
Is This a Threat?
If you are unsure if you are under threat by an attacker, quickly enter Sneak mode.
If the crosshair is bright yellow, start looking around.
To solve that problem, kill an enemy that falls to pieces, like skeletons or storm atronachs.
Pick up a fragment of your fallen foe’s corpse.
you’re free to store as much loot as you like in it.
From there, take time to heal yourself and prepare for a second attack.
This approach also provides a good vantage point to gauge the number of enemies who oppose you.
How to Increase Alchemy Skills Easily
Alchemy is one of the easiest skills to train.
Just duplicate ingredients with the dupe glitch, and make your potions.
A lot of them.
And you’re able to sell them for a lot of money, too!
Talk to someone and persuade them.
Start the circle mini-game and keep rotating the circle and keep pushing theAbutton.
Enemies Don’t Like Borders
Oblivion NPCs, unlike Morrowind, can cross zone borders.
If you’re fighting a horde, this method can make dealing with them much simpler.
You’ll see a camp on your compass.
Go to it, then head south until you see a shrine to Hircine.
It counts as your mount even outside of cities.
Inside is a very well-fed Mudcrab.
