I’m currently playing a pure Spellsword build in Oblivion and I want to know the best level and strategy to successfully complete the Killing Field quest while keeping both sons alive. In my last playthrough, I managed it easily at level 4 with a summoned Scamp, but this time I plan on not using Conjuration at all. Do you think using a poisoned weapon is the best approach?

Quick question: does the difficulty ramp up significantly the higher your level gets? Like once you’re past level 26?
I found success by creating two spells: one dedicated to healing the brothers and the other to boost their armor rating. I let them handle the fighting while I focused on keeping them alive and protected. It worked well for me on Master difficulty!
I tackled it at level 8, but that’s because my Restoration and Alteration skills were maxed out at 100. With those stats, healing and shielding the brothers can make a huge difference in survival rates.
That strategy sounds solid! Just to clarify, are you doing this in the OG remastered version? And what level were you at?
