6 Ways To Gain Great Power In Oblivion Remastered

One of the most common mistakes in Oblivion Remastered is selecting a bad build. While most anything will work with enough creativity, the game rewards specialization and smart attribute creation. Specialize in a few important skills, like Blade, Destruction, or Sneak, and pick a race and birthsign that complement them.

For example:

• A Breton with the Mage birthsign is an excellent option for magic builds.
• An Orc with the Warrior birthsign is perfect for melee combat.

Prioritize leveling up your chosen Major Skills efficiently. Power-levelling through efficient skill use (such as jumping for Acrobatics or casting easy spells for Restoration) helps you hit higher levels faster, unlocking better gear, spells, and tougher enemies to challenge.

2. Join and Climb the Guilds

Joining the Mages Guild, Fighters Guild, Thieves Guild, and the Dark Brotherhood not only opens up unique quests but also powerful perks, spells, and items. The primary perks are:

• Mages Guild: Access to the Arcane University for spell making and enchanting.
• Fighters Guild: Great early-game gold and equipment rewards.
• Thieves Guild: Fences to sell stolen goods and the powerful Grey Cowl of Nocturnal.
• Dark Brotherhood: Some of the best stealth-based rewards and an extremely immersive questline.

Tip: Many players overlook the Mages Guild recommendation quests. These are required to access the Arcane University, one of the game’s most powerful tools.

3. Master Spellcrafting and Enchanting

Spellcrafting is Oblivion Remastered’s secret weapon. Once you gain access to the Arcane University, you can create your very own spells with various effects. Want to paralyze enemies while draining their life and setting them on fire? You can.

Likewise, enchanting equipment with custom effects. Especially with the use of Sigil Stones from Oblivion gates, they can create overpowered gear. Think 100% Chameleon armor or a weapon that freezes, shocks, and burns enemies at the same time.

4. Close Oblivion Gates for Sigil Stones

As for Oblivion Gates, shutting them down is not just about progressing Oblivion Remastered. The gates all house a Sigil Stone, and these are your ticket to immense power. High-level Sigil Stones can impart effects like:

• Fortify Strength or Intelligence
• Spell Absorption
• Fire or Shock Damage weapon enchantments

If you’re looking for high-level custom gear without relying on luck or vendor RNG, Oblivion Gate farming is the way to go.

5. Hunt for Daedric Artifacts

Daedric Quests in Oblivion Remastered have some of the best content in the game, with rewards that tend to be game-breaking in power. Some of the fan-favorite artifacts include:

• Azura’s Star: A reusable soul gem.
• Mehrunes’ Razor: A dagger with a chance to instantly kill.
• Ebony Blade: Drains health with each hit.

All of these quests are only level 10+ and can fundamentally alter your playstyle and performance. Find shrines in the wilderness and have the appropriate offering to start each quest.

6. Use Alchemy to Break the Game

Alchemy is more than just potions. In Oblivion Remastered, high-level alchemy can enable you to make potions that give god-like boosts to attributes like Speed, Strength, or Magicka.

With the right gear (Fortify Alchemy equipment), your potions can:

• Boost your damage by hundreds of percent
• Be able to be invisible for minutes at a time
• Restore your health or magicka instantly

Best of all, you can sell these potions for massive margins to fund your spell research, equipment purchases, and home upgrades.

Final Thoughts

It’s about strategy, about making smart choices, and knowing where the true sources of power lie. From spell creation to guild intrigue, every one of the game’s systems is a way to climb further.

Whether you are an honorable knight, a lethal assassin, or a stealthy battlemage, these six strategies will enable you to dominate the world of Cyrodiil. Now go, Hero of Kvatch, and claim what’s yours!
