If you try to take out a nest early on in black forest, but your character still sucks. Find a decent sized boulder within bow range. Make a workbench there and then a ladder to climb boulder. Use fire arrows on the nest. Small mobs of 3 or so creatures will come at you, use regular arrows on them as they approach.

After nest is destroyed, everything can be mopped up.

For body piles that infested buildings in meadowlands. You can make workbench and destroy side of building to expose body pile. Then do similar to above. First you have to take out a few sentries. Try to draw them out 1 or 2 at a time. Careful here cause in troll armor this is still dangerous. You can't rush the process. Be patient. Often in a village, 4 or 5 building are invested. So start with the outer one with easiest access.

If archers are in a tower - they are the priority target.

Many just use regular arrows all the time. I would sparringly use bronze on some Draugr, especially if elite.

You can put different arrows in your hot keys and switch by pressing the number.

If you draw out too many and they have archers. Run away in zig zag patter to avoid arrows.

Another tip - eat healthy. All 4 food groups. :)

If all else fails - use duck tape and remember to keep your stick on the ice.
