Two facts you should be aware of:

Those golems will hit neutral NPCs in preference to you

and

Arthras is immortal.

Its almost impossible to take those golems on fairly, but if its ignoring you in favour of an immortal target things become a lot easier. Cheesy, but it works. Just use a summon or something to absorb the spells, and then itll follow you all the way back.

And arcane archers are excellent. Very powerful at range, and the enchanted arrows penetrate damage resistance like nothing else. Good bows around as well. The fact they can use a bow effectively in melee saves weapon switching, but the dependency on ammnition can be fatal if you dont take enough. I finished the game with 12 arrows remaining. Forutnately, the standard arrows work well since they can enchant them, so it dosent get too expensive.
