Dwemer Automaton/Falmer Question, if you could please answer this?

[Ω Glitch]

Is there a realistic weakness against them? Any elemental weakness against the Dwemer Automatons, and is there a solid way to prevent poison from Chaurus and the Falmer weapons? Asking because I am doing a run where I clear EVERY dwemer ruin in the game, and falmer dungeon.

Dwemer automatons are immune to frost, and have a 25% magic resistance (so reduced damage from fire and shock).

As for poison, you can craft potions to help you. There are also enchanted items that make you resistant to poison (either 50% or 100%, though poison resistance seems to actually be capped at 85% like other resistances). However, like most magic items, those are found randomly. And due to a bug, they no longer randomly generate once you are above level 20, except in the store from your spouse.

Falmer poison is actually a spell, so magic resistance may also work (and would stack with poison resistance).

To prevent poison I like being a Breton, and running the Atronach stone, with maxxed Magic Resistance Perk and the Atronach Perk.

Yeah, I am running that exact build. Does it actually just absorb the poison?

Dang, well, those are out of question. Level 33 right now I think. I'm a werewolf on top of the Breton + Atronach, was going to turn to vampirism but the cards were played differently. I have a high alchemy skill, do you think it's worth me putting the skill points in it to get the snake blood perk (forgot the name) that gives the poison resistance or do you think I should be fine?

Try the snake-blood perk, in alchemy it renders u 50% immune to poison, boost the rest with either a potion or gear,
