Oblivion Remastered: 8 Tips For Surviving In Master Difficulty
For anyone considering a playthrough of Oblivion Remastered's grueling Master difficulty, these tips are essential for making it through unscathed.
Because of the game's level scaling, the power of weapons may vary depending on when and where the player finds them. Some daggers are only obtainable through certain quests, faction memberships, and DLC content.
7 Dagger of Order
A Quest Reward Worth Getting
- How to Acquire: Complete the quest "Saving Time Itself," which is part of a chain only available in the game's Remastered version.
This quest is the second half of a two-part chain that starts when the player speaks to Ilav Dralgoner in the Kvatch refugee camp. The first quest, "A Wound In Time," leads the protagonist to the Aleid ruin Beldaburo, where they must find out why local people have been disappearing.
The discovery of a Time Wound leads Ilav to conclude that there's an Elder Scroll involved, and he sends the player back to the ruins with a special enchantment to allow them entry. After fighting a Lich and regaining the Elder Scroll, Ilav rewards the player with their choice of gear and weapons that are part of the Paladin of the Order selection. The other weapons and gear are just as useful, but the design of the dagger is ideal for the thief or rogue who likes to show off.
6 Dagger of Absorption
A Useful Enchantment that Drains Intelligence
- How To Acquire: Find a random enchanted dagger in various places, or place the Absorption enchant on a regular dagger.
It's possible to find this dagger with this enchant randomly in the world, either when it drops from an enemy, is found in a chest, or is sold by a vendor. In case it doesn't turn up by chance, the player can enchant their own dagger — provided they have the spell under the "Effects" tab of the inventory.
Oblivion Remastered: 10 Best Quest Rewards That Are Worth The Effort
Some great rewards can be earned by completing quests in Oblivion Remastered. Here are some of the best that are actually worth the effort.
When cast on a dagger, the Absorption enchant drains the Intelligence of the target, which makes it especially useful against magic users. Other effects include Drain Endurance for the Battle Axe, Drain Speed on the Shortsword, and Drain Willpower on the Mace.
5 Enchanted Dagger
Applies the Bleed Effect
- How To Acquire: Complete the Vampire Cure quest.
For those brave adventurers who opt to take on the lengthy Vampire Cure quest, this dagger is an extra perk for getting it finished. Getting the cure for Vampirism is nice too; not every player has The Vile Lair DLC complete with a Font of Renewal.
The Enchanted Dagger isn't a reward for the quest. A character named Melisande gives it to the player to aid them in their quest as she helps them gather the long list of complicated and rare ingredients. The actual quest reward is a big stack of gold, along with becoming human again, so the player doesn't have to finish this quest to acquire the dagger.
4 Sufferthorn
Damage Health and Drain Strength
- How To Acquire: Finish the Dark Brotherhood Quest "Accidents Happen."
One of the perks of being a member of the Dark Brotherhood is the easy access to several nice weapons, including a few daggers, and this one is a reward for the quest "Accidents Happen." Sufferthorn has the enchantments of Damage Health and Drain Strength, and physical damage done is scaled by the character's level.
Oblivion Remastered Sales Are Outpacing the Original Release
Many Elder Scrolls fans fell in love with the 5th entry. Now, many are going back with Oblivion Remastered and the game is performing incredibly well.
This quest is one in a long line of assignments that the player gets from the Dark Brotherhood before they reach "Honor Thy Mother." Finishing this quest promotes them to Listener and provides an enchantment to another important and powerful weapon.
3 Blade of Woe
Powerful Enchantments for an Assassin
- How To Acquire: Speak to Lucien Lachance and join the Dark Brotherhood.
All the player has to do is murder an innocent in cold blood to get a visit from Lucien Lachance, the Speaker of the Dark Brotherhood, and acquire the Blade of Woe. It isn't even necessary to finish a quest; just be invited by the Speaker to join, and he gives you this dagger.
It should be noted that the actual enchants for the dagger are determined when the player starts the 'Honor Thy Mother' quest, which is a few more links down the quest chain from the initial meeting and the journey to the Inn of Ill Omen.
2 Witsplinter
Damage Magicka and Drain Intelligence
- How To Acquire: Part of "The Siren's Deception" quest.
The name of this weapon refers to the magical effect it has on the target, making it one of the best melee weapons in the game for fighting spellcasters. The player acquires it as part of this quest, which is either given by or taken from an NPC named Faustina Cartia.
Oblivion Remastered: All Locations Added With the Knights of the Nine DLC
The Knights of the Nine DLC features several locations for Oblivion Remastered players to explore. Here's a look at each of them.
Faustina is the head of a gang called the Sirens, and their crimes in Anvil have steadily grown more brazen. Players who are interested in finding this quest (and the handsome dagger to go with it) just need to wander around Anvil listening to rumors until they discover the Sirens.
1 Mehrunes' Razor
Disintegrate Armor and Daedric Banish
- Complete "Unearthing Mehrunes Razor" at Sundercliff Watch
Players can embark on this quest at any time, but the catch is that they need to have the Knights of the Nine DLC or the Remastered version of Oblivion to have access to it. Find the ruined settlement and fort, Sundercliff Watch, which has been added with the new content, read the journal of Frathen Drothan, and embark on a quest to find and open the ancient entrance of Varsa Baalim.
This is an expansive lost Ayelid City with plenty of loot and adventure to be had, along with finding Frathan Drothan, who has confined himself to the innermost part of the ruins called the Nefarivigum. He's a powerful Battlemage, so bring along something that damages or drains Intelligence and Magicka.
