Undead followers of Azura, weakness? Options

[H3lliN]

I am the kind of player who usually gathers information before going to dark places with ugly looking people. So i read that going to the shrine of azure and after that to the mines to slay her followers is a mission you can take on lvl 2. Well... i went (lvl 3 char.)i saw and i shut my eyes real fast. The first follower forced me to use up all my potions, one that i managed to kill but if you ask me it took wayyyy to long. The next two simply beat the misery out of me. After those i found yet two more although i was under the impression they were 4 and not 5?Anyway they were even harder...one keeps summoning zombies and i haven't managed to scalp their ugly little heads yet.I m guessing that my weapons arent really the best since i do little damage after every swing. I am a battle mage with the boosts of my birthsign (warrior). I use a two handed weapon (dmg 5) and flares as well frost and shock magic.Is there a specific type of weapon that inflicts more damage to them? Or should i just leave them be for the beeing and return when stronger? (live to fight another day? )

P.S.:lowering the difficulty bar is not considered an option, at least not for me. The rest of the game i find it to be at a normal difficulty,lowering it for the mine means i can just as well turn godmode on

Hehe, nice strategy Foster.

I've also only done this at higher levels and had no problem.

Just a quick tip in case you didn't know, H3lliN: Try not to use too much time and effort on the summoned creatures, as they will disappear when you kill the guys that summon them.

And also the standard tips: Try to sneak up on them in the darkness. If you can get in a hit before they detect you, you'll do more damage (6x for blades).

Use enchanted weapons. A blade with a simple 10 fire damage makes quite a difference.

Make some poisons and use them on your bow and/or blades. You should be able to make poisons even with Alchemy skill below 25 I think.

And remember to block!

Oh, and one more thing: Summoning creatures yourself is very handy - even the weak ones, as they distract the enemies. I think you should already have gotten the summon skeleton spell by now, or...?
