The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has been released to much critical acclaim after years of leaks. The shadowdrop was surprising for the original fans, and it is nothing short of a borderline remake with the amount of detail.

Since it is a complete, 1:1 accurate remaster, the old enemy and item placements are still there. However, it also means you will come across various strong enemies that require different aspects of combat mechanics to defeat them.

Similar to heavily armored enemies that require blunt weapons like a pike or a giant hammer, ghosts have specific requirements to attack them. These special enemies can be found in various dungeons and can cause huge trouble if you don’t know how to beat them.

Wondering how to defeat ghosts on your first encounter in Oblivion Remastered? You’re in the right place. This guide will help you with everything you need to know about ghosts and how to kill them in the game.

Ghosts in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered can negate any form of physical damage. All the armaments you have in your inventory would be worth nothing if you encounter ghosts.

However, there’s a way to defeat them. Since these enemies are quite tricky with normal weapons, you can cast spells upon them to deal damage. Normal spells like Fire and Thunder can also work efficiently.

Additionally, something the game doesn’t tell you is that ghosts can be attacked with silver weapons. If you’re struggling with spells and silver weapons, you can visit the Imperial City’s Arcane University to find an enchanter. However, the university grounds aren’t accessible unless you have joined the Mages Guild.

On the enchanting altar, you can combine these items to receive various enchantment formulas. Still, refrain from enchanting a frost effect on your item, as ghosts can easily negate it.
