thesapien Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Speaking of which, what is best way to kill them vampires? I'm not even sure, uhm, how they work. I got to a tough one who seemed to suck my health to fill their own health. Is that what they do? I though I had it nearly killed, but in seconds the tables were turned, twice. Does shock work to inhibit their extra abilities? Morvarth perhapse? That guy is a tough fight for me every time i go into that dungeon... Best thing i've found is to use Unrelenting Force to knock him down, and wail on him with the biggest weapon you can find. With a fire Enchant. Morvarth? I had to look him up in the wiki, gosh, no, not him. I was a low level character taking the long route to the Greybeards, going around south of the mountain from Helgen, which was all new to me. Happened by Haemar's Shame and Haemar's Cavern. I turned around in one because it had a big fronstbite spider that I could barely damage with my puny fire and no place to get away from it and except back out. The other seemed not so bad, as the first vampire was easy. But the master could raise the dead of those I just killed and thought were down while sucking my health to fill her own after I thought she was down. I was so confused and ran out of potions before realizing what all was what, died, and haven't played that humiliated character again. I'll be returning with a new character, tho.

thesapien Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Speaking of which, what is best way to kill them vampires? http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Dawnbreaker I want it. Must have. Awesome looking, awesome name, awesome power. Does it really glow around the undead including vampires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanusForbeare Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) It glows all the time, but I think it might get brighter around the undead. Either way, it definitely explodes 'em real good. Edited January 11, 2012 by JanusForbeare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going the wrong way. High level monsters that way and there is no path to the Greybeards unless you probably have a horse to climb steep slopes inaccessible to humans (yes, boo physics). You go around the mountain on the road to Riften. There is a village there called Ivarstead. That's where the 7000 steps to the Greybeards start.

ModelV Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 *Stares at this thread for awhile* What? The shortest route ive taken is going south around the mountain past helgen. north route took forever and I ran into a lot more monsters. But I might have simply mistook your directions. Why does Dawnbreaker have to be 1 handed? D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdonin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Why does Dawnbreaker have to be 1 handed? D: Because Meridia needs her other hand free to be dainty and lady like. On a more serious note, i find a lot of people tend to associate Vampires with these immensely powerful creatures. They've never been that in TES games. Even in Morrowind, the only real advantage of becomming a Vampire was the Clans. Theres a reason Vampires don't generally attain possitions of power within the structures of the world in the TES universe. At the same time, Vampires are WAY stronger to fight than they are to be. Which is strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchan05 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Why does Dawnbreaker have to be 1 handed? D: So you can have Spellbreaker (I think that was the correct name) on the other hand as your shield and absorb magic attacks from undead mages. It's Peyrite's artifact.

With my characters, I've always gone the way you described, but was just trying the other because it looked like I could still get to Ivarstead going the long way. Roads signs along the way say yes.

You sure? Oh, I thought you were trying to scale the mountain straight to high hrothgar from the north. If you are following the general direction and the roads to ivarstead, yes I guess that's faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
