A - There is a video with an easy way to defeat Umbra if you still can't defeat Umbra on your own.
Q - How do I zoom in on the camera?
A - Press and hold the right analog stick. Press LT to ZOOM IN, and RT to ZOOM OUT. You can also turn the camera to look at your character's face.
Q - When I go to pray I get "Repent your crimes, wicked one" What am I supposed to do?
A - You have to raise your fame above your infamy.
Q - Where are the giant enemies?
A - Giant Slaughterfish are found in Wizard's Grotto during "Arrow of Extrication." Giant Mudcrabs are in Greenmead Cave.
Q - I heard there are Unicorns in this game, where are they?
A - Go south of the Imperial City to The Green Road. Near the Inn of Ill Omen, go directly east. You will find Harcane Grove, and outside of this location, you will find Unicorns that can be ridden like any other horse. This location is also part of a side quest.
Q - Is there any easy ways to level my destruction magic, and other fighting skills?
A - Go to Leyawiin and enter Rosentia Gallenus's house if you haven't completed the side quest "Whom Gods Annoy." Use your destruction magic or other fighting moves (blade, fist, and blunt) on the Scamps in the house; they will regenerate until you complete the quest.
Q - My Prima Game Guide says that you can actually get 11 Ayleid Statues and one of them is found in Sardavar Leed, yet I can't find it; Why don't you have it written in your guide?
A - This guide does not list the statue because a thorough search of all ruins found only a certain number. Official Game Guides can contain errors and printed copies cannot be updated. Stick with these guides for more accurate information.
Q - Can I join multiple Guilds in this game or am I stuck with choosing one?
A - You can join all Guilds simultaneously and remain in them as long as you follow their rules.
Q - Is it necessary to have the XBOX 360 Hard drive when I play this game?

Q - What if I accidentally kill someone that was part of the main story line. Is my game ruined forever!?!?
A - You cannot kill main story line NPCs; they are only knocked out.
Q - How do you put a soul INTO a soul stone?
A - Use the Soul Trap spell. You can learn it or find items that cast it.
