Nightshade, which players might not come across often due to its limited growing locations throughout the world.
How To Remove Stolen Flags in Oblivion Remastered

There are a few places where players can reliably find Nightshade in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. This guide covers those locations, along with the different uses Nightshade has within the game.
Where to Get Nightshade in Oblivion Remastered
The first and most accessible location to acquire Nightshade is to fast-travel to the Market District in the Imperial City and go south of the map towards The Main Ingredient. It is here that you can talk to Ogier Georick and barter with him to purchase four Nightshades for a total of 8 Gold.
The next location is to the southwest of Skingrad, near the Fat Ramp Camp. Fast travel there, look around the camp, and you will find around eight Nightshades that you can grab. Do keep in mind that plants grow back after you harvest them every 3 days, so you can come back at a later time to collect more, or simply use the in-game feature to turn time forward to harvest more.
Another good location to acquire a good amount of Nightshade is at the Frostcrag Spire, located east of Bruma on top of the mountain. Once you head inside the Spire, you will get a quest that involves you traveling to the Mystic Emporium in the Merchants District to acquire items for the building, such as the garden in the Living Quarters. Once you purchase the Garden for Frostcrag Spire, you can head there to find a lot of plants along with four Nightshades that you can harvest.
These plants also grow back in 3 days, so you can sleep on the bed in the same room to wait out the time.
What Does Nightshade Do in Oblivion Remastered?
