Oblivion Remastered: The Siren's Deception Side Quest Guide

The Siren's Deception is a side quest in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered that takes place in the city of Anvil in western Cyrodiil. A gang of female robbers has gotten into the habit of luring unsuspecting men to the outskirts of town and stealing all of their valuables.

The locals have dubbed this gang 'The Sirens' due to their habit of using the promise of 'a good time' to entice their victims. The Hero is tasked with investigating this gang and retrieving a valuable ring that was stolen in a recent incident.

How to Start The Siren's Deception

The Siren's Deception side quest can be started either by hearing about a rumor regarding 'Gogan' from the Anvil townsfolk or by directly talking to Maelona, Gogan's wife. Here's how.

Fast travel to Anvil and head to the western edge of town.
Head to the western edge of town and look for the building called 'Gogan's House,' right next to Quill-Weave's House.
Enter Gogan's house and talk to Maelona on the upper floor.
She will inform you about her husband having lost a precious family heirloom ring that belonged to her mother to a gang of female thieves, commonly referred to as the Sirens. The Sirens are notorious for luring unsuspecting men to a cottage outside of town and robbing them blind. Gogan has been their most recent victim, losing Maelona's Ring in the process.
Talk to Gogan to discover the details about the robbery.
Gogan and Maelona's story will reveal that the Sirens look for new victims in The Flowing Bowl Inn, a tavern just outside of Anvil on the waterfront.

If Gogan's house is locked, wait till 9 AM and try again.

After gathering the information from Gogan, the next step is looking for clues regarding the Sirens at The Flowing Bowl Inn.

Use the Anvil Dock Gate right next to Gogan's house to exit Anvil.
Turn left, and you'll immediately see The Flowing Bowl Inn. It's the first building on the docks.
Enter the inn, walk up to the counter, and wait.
Two women—Signy Home-Wrecker and Faustina Cartia—will approach you on their own and initiate a conversation.
- If you're a man, they will invite you out to a farmhouse outside of town for a bit of fun.
- If you're a woman, they will invite you to join the Sirens gang at the same farmhouse outside of town.
Follow the quest marker and head to Gweden Farm, southeast of Anvil.
Wait till 11 PM (Evening) and enter Gweden Farm.
- If you're a man, you will be asked to take off your clothes and your gear to get 'ready.'
- If you're a woman, you will be offered a chance to join the Sirens gang.
Either way, the only option is to refuse their offer, triggering combat.
In addition to Signy and Faustina, there will be a Khajiit Siren named Tsarrina there as well. Defeat all three Sirens.
Upon their death, the door to the farmhouse will open, and Maelona and Gogan will enter the house, explaining that they are actually members of the City Guard who have been hunting the Siren gang and needed you to be bait in the process.
You will receive the promised Gold reward for the quest, and The Siren's Deception will be marked as complete.

Before leaving, loot the Siren's corpses in the area and you will find a Gweden Basement Key and Wiltsplinter, a unique dagger. Use the Key on the door near the fireplace on the side of the room to enter the basement. The basement contains some empty beds, a few cupboards, and a store section. In the store, you will find all the items the Sirens stole from the various men living in Anvil. The list of victims includes Pinarus Inventius, Ernest, and Heinrich. On the table is a Flawless Emerald, Gold Nugget, and the Oaken-Hall Family Jewels chest.

The stolen items in the Gweden Basement cannot be returned to the men they were stolen from.
