  • In today's video we are going through and doing / talking about every single hidden and non-journal quest that's in the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. These quests range from fetch quests, to entire stories and lore heavy writings that a lot of player's including myself, completely pass up on due to the lack of its existence. Most of these are scattered throughout Cyrodiil and a few are in major cities like Anvil and Chorrol. Some of them have even been discussed on this channel before like the Horror of Dive Rock aka the Uderfrykte Matron! Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe!

    I love how last night I told my brother “idk what to play anymore, I’m inna spot of oblivion where I don’t have anymore quests to do other than shivering isles and don’t feel like googling every single quest left to do” and then found this uploaded 20 mins ago. Awesome

    I love how for the first hidden quest, the wizard tracked down the thief all the way up into the mountains, essentially killed him, but then decided going down into the valley to retrieve his ring was too much effort.

    • @xBINARYGODx
      @xBINARYGODx Місяць тому +9

      he likely didnt really care about the ring (its not that amazing, really), he just wanted to deal with the person who thought they could get away from stealing from him.

    Uderfrykte first appeared in Bloodmoon Morrowind expansion, it was a troll with total element and normal weapon immunity swinging severed nord leg as a club associated with a quest. It also appeared in Skyrim, but doesn't have a specific quest related, it just happen to be there during one Dark Brotherhood quests. Oblivion's Uderfrykte Matron is notorious of breaking it's own shader - I had it completely invisible, my friend had it appear as it should (transcludent ice shader) and for some people it looks like normal troll because the shader won't load properly.

    The name "A ring of Keys" is from the Prima game guide but you can also find information on this quest online under the names "Key to Key," "Key within a Key," "Keys and Barrels," and "Forgotten Keys." It really depends on what source you believe to be most accurate.

    Aside from these, there are also piles of gems and coins, laid out in patterns on some of the outside walls of forts.
    Fort Farragut is the easiest. Climb to the top, jump over to the outside of the wall and shimmy counter clockwise along the wall. You’ll come to a load of septims, laid out in a rectangle. There are two or three others but I can’t remember them off the top of my head.

      One of my favorite parts was in the "Corruption and Conscience" quest (In which you're tasked with exposing Ulrich Leland as being obnoxiously corrupt); when the quest gets to the point where Llevana Nedaren asks you to bring Ulrich to her so she can kill him, your journal entry recommends going to Garrus Darelliun to take down Ulrich through less violent means.
      However, the game guide straight up says, "Your journal's not the boss of you", and, "Sometimes it can be fun to make bad things happen to bad people." And then goes on to describe what to do to in order to get Ulrich killed.

    One time when I was playing oblivion and was bored out of my skull I decided to just say yk just cross the river from Bravil and wander the woods until you find something interesting.
    I walked in the woods and stumbled on the shrine to peryite and got spellbreaker, peryite is one of the few shrines in the game where you have to find it on your own. Oblivion rewarded my curiosity with a very powerful shield I’ll never forget that adventure

    The reason why Erandur-Vangaril is so easy is because he only has 15 health. Standard liches have 15 times the player's health, so I think someone at Bethesda forgot to check a box in the Construction Kit. It's a bit ironic that you need to be such a high level to fight him, but by that point you can easily one-shot him.

    Hi, I’ve been wanting to say for a while but I could never find the time but I just wanted to say that I really super appreciate you referring to the hero of kvatch in gender neutral terms, it’s something a lot of other lore/Tes in general UA-camrs don’t do which pisses me off because I always play female characters & it feels antithetical to the point of roleplaying & also tone deaf to ignore female players. But you do a super great job with it and it hasn’t gone unnoticed, so thanks! I feel seen for once ❤
