To defeat Will-o-the-Wisps in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered , follow these key strategies:
- Use magic or enchanted weapons : Will-o-the-Wisps are immune to normal physical attacks, so you need to use magic spells or weapons with elemental enchantments to damage them effectively
- Silver or Daedric weapons work : If you prefer melee, use silver or Daedric weapons, as these can harm Will-o-the-Wisps. Enchanted weapons are generally the best choice if you have them
- Keep your distance and time attacks : Will-o-the-Wisps drain your health and magicka on contact. When you see their draining attack (a visible energy line), back away until it breaks, then approach and strike again. Repeat this hit-and-retreat tactic to avoid losing resources
- Hand-to-hand combat is possible but requires skill : You can damage them with fists only if you have a Hand-to-Hand skill of Journeyman (level 50) or higher, but this is more challenging
- Use Reflect Spell to counter their drain : Reflect Spell can reverse their health and magicka drain, healing you instead of harming you
- After defeating them, collect glow dust : This valuable ingredient is dropped by Will-o-the-Wisps and is useful in alchemy for potions like Reflect Spell
In summary, rely on magic or enchanted/silver/Daedric weapons, keep your distance to avoid their draining attack, and time your strikes carefully to defeat Will-o-the-Wisps efficiently in Oblivion Remastered
