How to beat the three Argonian prisoners in Oblivion Remastered

After reaching the rank of Gladiator in the Arena on Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered, your first match will put you against a group of three Argonian prisoners, who, although not as mighty as some of your previous opponents, are more than capable of overwhelming you in a flash.

But don’t worry, as it is possible to make their numbers completely redundant by using a very specific strategy. Here’s how to easily beat the three Argonian prisoners in Oblivion Remastered, no matter your difficulty of choice.

How to easily beat the three Argonian prisoners in Oblivion Remastered

As facing them head-on puts you at a serious disadvantage (especially when on higher difficulties), the best way to deal with the Argonian prisoners in Oblivion Remastered is to use ranged attacks to take them out from a safe spot. To do that, jump on any of the arena’s brazier platforms at the moment the match starts, before making another jump toward the spikes above it. You must land atop a spike here, so get the angle of your second jump right.

As you can see above, successfully landing on a spike will allow you to then rain arrows and spells on the prisoners while remaining completely safe and outside of their range. Just make sure not to move too much while attacking. If you cannot reach the spikes no matter what, try facing the prisoners after raising your Acrobatics level (and thus your maximum jumping height).

In a similar way to how you can increase your Sneak skill, the best and easiest way to raise Acrobatics in Oblivion Remastered can be done by simply bunny hopping while exploring the world, as each jump offers a fixed amount of EXP. Apart from boosting your already mentioned jump height and resistance to fall damage, raising the skill will also reward you with the following:

• Apprentice (Level 25): You can now dodge by holding R2/RT + Y/△ or Spacebar + RMB.
• Journeyman (Level 50): Jumping now consumes less Fatigue.
• Expert (Level 75): You can now jump over the water surface.
• Master (Level 100): Massively reduces fall damage and the Fatigue toll of jumping and dodging.

Now that you know how to defeat the prisoners and get your ticket to another Gladiator rank battle, I highly recommend taking a look at the best way to farm money in Oblivion Remastered. After all, who can say no to an easy path to a fortune?
