Useful bugs, tricks and small strategies for Oblivion on PC and Xbox360

All of the above that follows has been collected from many sites - these are tips from players around the world. Many of them can be useful and useful if you play Oblivion on PC or Xbox360. However, on PS3, it doesn’t hurt to at least try it.

Fight melee attacks

If a hand-to-hand combatant is heading towards you, climb onto the hill and shoot him with all available weapons.

If you are afraid of a big and scary melee that is coming right at you, then ... run.

Run and look for rocks, rocks - anything you can jump on.

So, climb to the very top and just shoot the enemy with arrows, fireballs - everything that is.

The poor fellow may live long, but he won't be able to defend himself.

How to get to you.

Your success is guaranteed!

Slow Items

If you're playing Oblivion and using different weapons, you may notice how quickly your inventory fills up.

If you're playing Oblivion like a true nerd and using different weapons, you may notice how quickly your inventory fills up. Well, and how much objects in general can slow you down, even if you still have two-thirds of the free space.

So, gentlemen, here's a good way for you to carry around a bunch of armor, potions, weapons - everything your darling wants, and even useless quest items that you, in general, didn't give up.

When you receive Shadowmere from the Dark Brotherhood, you automatically forget about all other horses in principle. Is that the animal rights activists will suffer.

So, beat Tenegriva until you pass out. His, not yours. And immediately, before he comes to his senses, search him as you would any enemy. Usually an unconscious character lying on the ground will only give you, uh, "Talk" to yourself. The horse you can search; press the left trigger and discard whatever you need to transfer. This is much better than carrying around any slag in your inventory during a battle.

This works on Xbox360 using horse armor; in other cases ... Well, check.

Proper selection of weapons

Carry different types of weapons with you at the same time: fiery, stunning, having a magical effect - and ordinary.

To hell with the various enemies in Oblivion, and remembering them all is simply unrealistic. And even more so their vulnerability to different elements and abilities. After the fifth level, you won’t get anywhere from enchanted weapons, so carry with you a simultaneous fiery, deafening, magical effect - and an ordinary, unenchanted one. Yes, all together. And with the weight, the Ease Burden spell, which can be bought in magical guilds, will help you.

Why is this? So that you do not feel stupid, hammering a fire-resistant enemy with a fire weapon and wondering what you will need to take with you next time. You meet the enemy - and start sorting out weapons one by one in search of vulnerabilities. Yes, sometimes the difference is pitiful units per hit. But somehow it can save your life.

Quickly close the Oblivion Gate

If you do not want to take a long bath with this or something else, then believe me, this is not difficult. Once you get into Oblivion, run as fast as you can and grab the Sigil Stone. Everything.

Quick Acrobatics Skill Upgrade

Well, who doesn't want to get a skill quickly? Exactly. Acrobatics is by no means an exception. Run to the stairs or the steep hill and just jump the way up. This way you will be in the air for a record short amount of time and quickly start a new jump. Voila!

To increase your Stealth skill, go to the Imperial City Arena, go to one of the sacred lotus ponds, and press Q (default) to enter Stealth mode.

The same egg, only in profile.

Go to the Imperial City Arena, go to one of the sacred lotus ponds and press Q (by default) to enter Stealth mode.

There are guards behind the door, so the skill will increase.

You do not worry - go, drink coffee, let the brave hero run while on the courts, think about his behavior, learn to hide well.

By the way, if Stealth is a profiling skill, then your level will increase.

Take note.

fun in the air

Well, finally, t, this is not a hint. But it's fun.

Jump up next to the NPC and start a conversation with him. And as long as he talks to you, you... stay in the air. It's a pity, but when you leave the conversation, you will also fall. Sadness.

Duplicate Items

To duplicate any item in your inventory, you will need a bow and at least two of any arrows.

To duplicate any item in your inventory, you will need a bow and at least two arrows - any. Stretch the string and, leaving the bow in this state, go into inventory. You need to remove equipped arrows from the active cell; then a message will appear stating that you cannot remove the weapon during the attack.

After that, select the item you want to copy and discard it.

After exiting the inventory, you will find that there is as much dropped item on the ground as arrows were equipped.

This only works if there were more arrows equipped than there were items you wanted to copy. That is, if there are two arrows, and, for example, three keys, it will not work. Before opening inventory, make sure the bow is fully drawn.

This doesn't work on most enchanted and rare items either, but there are exceptions.

They say that if you double-click on a magic scroll and then throw the item away, the effect will be the same ... But this is not certain.

Kill Umbra and take her armor and sword

To kill Umbra and take her equipment, jump on the destroyed pillar in the square and shoot her. Well… Everything. The sword that devours souls is yours.

Quick increase in Stealth skill

There is another way, yes. Enter the house where someone is sleeping, go into stealth mode, and then go into the wall. Into the wall Into the wall And don't stop.

In my opinion, the option of drinking coffee is still preferable.

Reminder

Play Oblivion as if you were in this world, living the life of the character you created.

Just a little reminder that Oblivion is a sandbox where you can and should have fun.

Many gamers try to play Oblivion the way they played any other RPG - Final Fantasy, Neverwinter Nights, Diablo... They think they're playing a game with standard features and objectives.

However, Oblivion must be played as if you are in this world, living the life of the character you have created. When someone says they didn't like Oblivion, but they liked other RPGs, it usually comes down to a desire to stupidly follow directions: tasks in a journal, a strictly built plot ...

Only here in Oblivion you create your own story. And, realizing this, you will greatly facilitate your gameplay. You just have to make choices as you would in real life - and don't be afraid to make mistakes.

The most fun for me usually started when I was about to be caught, or when I was not strong enough to win the fight - and I had to get out and come up with something unusual. No, really, Oblivion is a huge sandbox where you can both build your little world out of sand and destroy it to hell! Do not be shy.

Light Enemies While Playing

If you want enemies to be easier to defeat, simply create a new character and choose as your main skills those that you hardly use or don't use at all. Yes, you will not be particularly pumped - like the opponents you will meet.

Tired of being overloaded?

To reduce weight, you can make potions that will reduce weight, though not for long.

Unfortunately, this advice does not apply to real life, but only to games.

In general, there are several tips. One of them requires a more or less pumped Alchemy skill and access to the Arcana University.

The simplest solution is to enchant a weapon or piece of armor to increase strength or decrease weight.

There is more difficult - through alchemy. If you have the skill level, you can make potions that will reduce the weight by hundreds.

True, only for a few minutes. And if you drink several potions at a time, you can lose weight over 1200 units for more than 500 seconds.

Quickly kill ten bears

In order to get a bear, you can lure it into the garden, and then shoot it with a bow or fill it with spells.

If you have problems with pumping, and you nevertheless committed to kill ten wild bears for the farmer, then you should not despair.

Go for a walk, and when you run into a bear, run as fast as you can back to the farm. And then head to the fenced garden.

The bear will chase you. And when he's in the garden, run outside before he kills you and slam the door behind you.

Everything. The bear is trapped, and now you can shoot him with a bow or spell. Repeat ten times.

Easy killing minotaur lords

The Minotaur Lord is the most complex and expensive monster.

Once you have passed through all the steps to the title of Grand Champion of the Arena and become one, you will be able to fight against certain monsters once a week for a certain fee. The most complex - and expensive - of these is the Minotaur Lord. It comes to the point that you can oppose three of these peppers at a time.

The trick is to run back to the exit to the Arena at the very beginning of the battle: the minotaur lords are simply too gigantic to crawl through after you. And since they don't have long-range weapons, you become unreachable.

You will need a bow and at least about 50 arrows. Well, or a good arsenal of attacking spells. Voila - without any problems, the minotaur lords were defeated. And for your torment, you get at least 2000 gold. Agree, it's quite good.

Solving problems with Eloquence

Things will become much easier when you join the Arcana University (mutka with the Mages Guild). You just need to create a very cheap spell: increase Charm (Charm) by 100 points for 2 seconds. It's really cheap. This will solve all possible problems with Eloquence. This is insanely useful in terms of Trade.

Gold from Count Skingrad

The Count of Skingrad is very distracted - which is what needs to be done.

Oh, this Count of Skingrad is very distracted - and it will do you good.

When you finish the vampire quest (the one where you are cured of your vampirism), he will offer you a reward for saving his wife from suffering.

Only now he will not remember that he has already awarded you.

Ask him for 2500 gold again and again.

You'll quickly be able to afford that ohhhhhhhhhhof that lovely house or upgrade your Alchemy or Commerce skill, which are pretty slow to fill up.

It's easier to win battles

The easiest way to defeat the AI ​​is to climb to a high point where the enemy cannot reach you.

The easiest way to defeat the AI ​​is to climb to a high point (like a rock) where the enemy can't reach you.

The pumped Acrobatics skill is very useful here - you can easily jump to where no one will ever touch you.

Well, now use long-range attacks - magic and arrows to help.

Well, what if the enemy is also a trucker? See if you can hide behind cover or at least dance around something without going down.

If you fall or the enemy somehow rises towards you, try doing the same thing again in the same place - or find a better place.

Best light armor for beginners

Best Light Armor for Beginners - Bruzef Amelion Armor Set

Probably the best light armor you can get at the beginning. Go to Leyawiin (a town in the south). Right outside the city you will find the Tomb of Amelions - in the north, on the east bank of the "river". Follow the right side of the river and you will be happy.

Inside will be a whole set of Bruzef Amelion's armor. They increase resistance to frost damage, the sword adds 5 cold damage. Believe me, at the beginning of the game it's just great. And it looks pretty. Pieces of armor are scattered throughout the tomb, but finding them is not difficult.

Just leave the cuirass and sword in your inventory later - a quest will be associated with this tomb, and if you don’t have them, you will lose a thousand gold.

You don’t have a house, but do you have to leave garbage (and not only) somewhere? Use rooftops. Country houses are especially good for this purpose; they can usually be jumped from slopes or rocks. Items do not lie in the inventory, NPCs do not climb roofs, so your things will be safe and sound.

But it’s not worth shoving anything into random containers - when the game is restarted, everything can simply self-destruct.

+5 to favorite stats

Oh, this is puzzling. The issue is resolved through the console. Will you risk? Forward.

Open the console (key "~") and enter "setdebugtext 10", then add "TDT" - these commands will display all the information about your skills and show how much is left before the skill leveling. By entering "TDT" again and again, you can open and close this information.

Have you played enough? Look at how many points you have earned in each attribute.

For example, if it says STRENGTH: 10, it means that you have received 10 points of strength, which means that you will receive another +5 after leveling up. If you manage to take advantage of this and choose your profiling skills wisely, it will be quite easy to have +5 to the selected stats during each level up.

Easily increase Stealth and Athletics

To increase the Stealth and Athletics skill - rest your forehead against a wall or corner and turn on the autorun.

These two skills can be well pumped at the same time. Stealth increases when you meet the following three conditions at the same time: you have at least one NPC near you, you remain undetected (the eye icon is dark), you are moving. Achieving this is very simple: just find a wall or corner next to which there is an NPC who is not looking at you.

Well, a guard or a goblin in a cave would be perfect. Did you find this? Fine. Enter stealth mode, rest your forehead against a wall or corner, and turn on autorun. Well, autorun, as you like. The hero will continue to move into the barrier, while remaining in stealth, and at this time you can calmly admire how your skill grows. Just don't forget to get rid of all light sources first: spells, torches... And remember: if your Stealth is less than 50, take off your shoes, otherwise you will be noticed.

Athletics, even without being the main skill, stuffs even easier. All you have to do is walk or run. Well, you understand, right? You rest against a wall - better in a corner, so as not to turn anywhere - and use the autorun. Thus the displacement is zero, but the velocity is not. This means that you are rocking yourself calmly, as if traveling. Also, you automatically provide yourself with +5 speed when you catch the next level-up.

Story above all else

In open world games, as a rule, everyone dilutes the storyline with the help of side quests and exploring locations. However, in Oblivion, things will have to be done a little differently. To be more precise, quite the opposite. The fact is that with the performance of various tasks you are pumped, and at the end of the game your opponents will automatically be of the same level as you. But the allies with whom you go will remain low-level, and therefore die with ease. And you probably won't be able to finish the game.

100% invisibility

First of all, you need to be able to enter the University of Magic - for this you need to complete at least one quest of the guild of magicians. Then make sure you have five large soul gems. Yes, it is difficult, but very important. Now enchant five pieces of armor with Chameleon. Congratulations, you are completely invisible! Enemies will not attack you, and the guards will not notice that you are stealing something. Check it out if you don't believe me.

Is there a threat?

If you are not sure if you should be afraid of an attack, quickly enter stealth mode. If the crosshairs of the sight are yellow, then look around: the enemy is somewhere nearby.

Loot storage in bones

Perhaps the most heartbreaking thing about Oblivion is when you have to part with valuable loot due to overload. This problem can be solved by killing a collapsing enemy - for example, a skeleton or a lightning atronach.

Take a fragment from the corpse of a fallen enemy using the "Z" key. In a small bone, you can store as much loot as you need. Don't forget to bring it back to town to sell or keep for later.

Seeking cover under fire

When you're being stormed hard in the abandoned tower, run up the stairs to the very top.

When you're being stormed hard in the abandoned tower, run up the stairs to the very top.

There you can jump onto a ledge where the enemies can't reach you.

There you will have time to heal and prepare for the second run.

It's also a great vantage point to gauge the number of enemies - not just for tactical purposes, but also, um... aesthetically.

Always immediately try to mark such safe places.

It can be high cliffs that are not easy to reach, destroyed walls ... Sometimes it can even reach the roofs of buildings.

Slight increase in Alchemy skill

Alchemy, oddly enough, is one of the most easily pumped skills. Duplicate the necessary ingredients (it is written above how) and start preparing potions. Lots of potions. And yes, these potions can also be sold, and not cheap ...

Life hack for the quest "Through the Nightmare"

For a successful passage, reload until you get a weapon with 80 damage and an enchantment for nine times the use of weapon disintegration.

For those in the tank: a quest from the Mages Guild in which you need to free Henantier from the world of his dreams. It's about the Test of Perseverance. First, it's worth saying that if you have the Acrobatics skill, you can jump onto the balcony without a ladder and bypass the battle with two minotaurs. If this skill is not enough for you ... Let's move on to the second point.

Save before starting the Trial. The fact is that weapons spawn randomly, that is, each time is different. Yes, the lightning staff will always be in place, but the other two ... Randoooom!

Got a not-so-good set? Reboot. Reload until you get a weapon with 80 damage and an enchantment for nine times the use of weapon disintegration. Now you can destroy minotaur hammers, and everything will be much easier. This is especially noticeable at higher difficulty levels.

Lots of free money

After you become the Grand Champion of the Arena, you will have the opportunity to fight with one, two or three minotaur lords.

This thing will provide you with a minimum of 6000 gold per week. After you become the Grand Champion of the Arena, you will have the opportunity to fight with one, two or three minotaur lords. Actually, these guys are hard to put down. But go ahead and take three at once. But when the gates go down, run not forward to the arena, but back.

Minotaurs simply won't fit into your corridor because of their huge heads. It is enough to step back and throw spells at them or run up to them with a sword, beat them and run back so as not to get hit.

If you start to lose health, back off. Wait until the mana is restored, heal up and ... Again.

You will receive 3200 gold for the victory and will be able to pick up three weapons that the minotaurs leave behind - usually axes, hammers, etc. Selling cheap.

Almost easy to increase your Speech skill

Pretty quick and easy way to level up Eloquence - only for Xbox360 though. Start a conversation with someone and try to convince them. Start the circle mini-game - it doesn't matter if you understand what to do in it or not. Just spin the circle and press A without stopping. You can do this for a very long time. You can relax and watch TV. The main thing is to continue to twist and press. It doesn't matter how the NPC reacts there. Well, something like this...

Enemies don't like eyebrows

Well, eyebrows. Borders. Like invisible barriers between locations. As some oldfags remember, in Morrowind, opponents could not move to another zone. In Oblivion, this seems to have been fixed ... Or not?

It turned out that aggressive NPCs can indeed cross the boundaries between locations. But they very rarely do this in large groups. Sometimes they don't do it at all. This is especially noticeable in Kvatch if you enter a location with about six hostile Daedric subjects. You can just turn around and leave - one will follow you, the rest ...

Further experiments showed that the enemies go out of the zone one by one, maximum two.

Rule and humiliate, gentlemen.

Free cool horse

The game gives you the opportunity to get a unicorn or a horse.

To get a free horse or even a unicorn, head south of the Imperial City across the moat until you see a camp on your compass.

Enter it and go south again until you see Hircine's shrine, then go south again into an open field, kill the three minotaurs and...

Here it is, the unicorn.

Fast and strong!

Just do not attack him, otherwise he will never let you ride on himself.

Choose the Journeyman as the mage's birth sign

When starting a game as a mage, always choose Journeyman as their birthmark. In the end, this will allow you to cast master spells that require 500+ mana points.

Well fed crab

On the road from Skingrad to the Imperial City, there is a cave called "Green Meadow". You will have to wander inside, but in the end you will find a crab that has already eaten even the grandmother who cooked it.

Secrets of the game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Here you can find information on the types of light armor that randomly appear with the level of the hero at the NPC, in containers or sold by merchants. The armor that can be found as you progress through any quests and the armor of legionnaires and guards are not listed here, separate pages will be made for them. Also, a lot of armor can be found in certain places or on some NPCs, regardless of the level - for the most part, these are fur or leather armor. Below is the data from CS, starting at what level of the hero you can buy or find different armor (enchanted similar pieces of armor start to come across two levels later):

There are exceptions - chainmail and mithril armor are sold starting at level 10 and 15, respectively, and the highest quality armor will not appear on sale from merchants at all. Some pieces of armor can be found at earlier levels, such as light iron shields can be found on Goblin Berserkers, or pieces of mail armor in the chests of wealthy citizens (starting at level 4), etc.

To get some piece of armor through the console, you need to type: ~player.additem FormID 1

Chainmail Armor

Mithril Armor

Elven Armor

Glass Armor

Notes: Protection coefficient - shows how many percent of the damage inflicted will be taken by the armor. When hitting armor, its durability decreases and the defense coefficient drops. Depends on the value of the skills of light and heavy armor, the tables show the highest values ​​​​for the level of the master.

* - Instead of leather gloves, there can be leather bracers (Leather Bracer), protection factor - 1.0, durability - 80, weight - 1.5, cost - 5 gold. They are rare, mostly on the Imperial Legion Forester, also Baurus (Baurus) in leather bracers goes to the IS sewers (main storyline) and on several other NPCs.


  1. Talk to Okato.
  2. Wait two weeks.
  3. Go to the Arsenal (Prison District).
  4. Take your reward - Imperial Dragon Armor.
Description

Champion of Cyrodiil

After the cutscene of defeating Mehrunes Dagon, Okato appears. Although he is concerned about the fate of the Empire, he is grateful and names you Champion of Cyrodiil, a title that only six other heroes have received in the history of the Empire. Okato orders a set of Imperial Dragon Armor for you, normally only worn by the Emperor, and says the armor will be ready in two weeks.

New armor ready

Take your armor

After two weeks, your journal will automatically update with the information that the armor is ready. If you make this task your active quest, you will receive a marker in the Prison District Armory. Your new armor is on the table opposite the door.

There are two different versions of the armor, one light armor set and one heavy armor set. You cannot choose which set you will receive; the game decides for you based on your skill in light and heavy armor. You will receive a set corresponding to your stronger skill; if both skills are equal, then you will get a heavy armor set.

Obtaining any piece of your new armor completes the quest and also completes the game's storyline. Congratulations!

Notes

The Imperial Dragon Armor looks exactly like the one Martin wore at the Battle of Bruma (unless you caused a quest error).

The Heavy Armor and Light Armor sets look the same.

Bugs

There is no female version of the armor meaning both genders look the same when worn.

There is a chance that after 2 weeks the quest will not be updated.
- [PC] This bug has been fixed by the "Unofficial Oblivion Patch".

Diary entries

Notes

  • Not all entries may appear in your Quest Diary; which entries appear and which do not appear depends on how the task is performed.
  • Stages are not always in order of passing. This usually refers to quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks can be completed in random order.
  • A checkmark in the "KZ" (End of Task) column means that the task disappears from the list of active ones, but you can still get new entries for it.
  • You can use the console to progress through the quest by typing setstage MQDragonArmor stage , where stage is the number of the stage you want to complete. Note that it is not possible to cancel (i.e. go back) the quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
