How To Start the Tears of the Savior Quest In Oblivion Remastered

To start this quest, you must fast travel to Leyawiin and make your way to the Mage's Guild. You can join the guild by speaking to Dagail, but for this specific quest, explore the rooms until you come across a Khajiit named S'drassa. He’ll mention that he’s looking for crystals known as Garridan's Tears and ask for your help in locating them, officially beginning the quest. Speak with him again, and he’ll direct you to Julian Fanish at the Arcane University in the Imperial City, who might have more information about the Tears.

Fast travel to the Arcane University and speak with Julian, who will share a good amount of detail about the Tears. She’ll suggest visiting the First Edition bookstore in the Market District to locate a book titled Knightfall. After buying and reading it, you’ll learn about Refined Frost Salts, which Julian conveniently sells. Purchase all of them, then head to Bruma. From there, ride southeast on horseback until you reach Frostfire Glade. Once inside, fight through any enemies you encounter as you advance toward the inner entrance.

Do keep in mind that this door will only open if you have the Refined Frost Salts on you.

Inside Frostfire Glade, you will encounter a Frostfire Atronach Glade Guardian, who is weak to fire damage and immune to frost. If you have any fire-based Magicka spells, try to keep your distance from the guardian and continuously chip away at its health bar.

Continue forward and stop when you reach a large rock formation at the center. Make sure you’re facing northeast on your compass when observing the rock. You’ll find the first Tear at the base and the second further up. Return to your initial spot and start walking northeast, watching the ground carefully to locate the third Tear. Then, move east to find the fourth, and finally, go south to collect the fifth Tear, which is near some plants.
