#How to start the shivering isles quest in oblivion upgrade#

You can sell all of this stuff once you make it to a town and you'll definitely want the gold to upgrade your inventory as soon as you can. Look at the ratio between encumbrance and worth. Before going up the stairs to the next region, open the chest to get some gold and, if you want it, another weapon.Īt this point, you'll start to have to make serious decisions about what to keep. Take some the equipment to bolster your defence before moving on. In the center of the room here there are some pieces food that you can use to make potions once you find the proper Alchemy tools, as well as a Rusty Iron Helmet, an Iron Warhammer, and a Rusty Iron Shield. Inside of it you can get some gold, more lockpicks, and some torches. This can be difficult with your low Security skill. More rats wait for you here, though they should not be a problem by now.Īround the corner here you can find a chest with an Average lock on it. Kill the remaining two rats in this area and go around the corner into a room with some structural support beams going up to the ceiling. There is a rat waiting around the corner for you to kill and take his meat along with a chest holding some lockpicks and potions. Walk down through the small corridor until the room opens up again. Try using some ranged attacks such as more arrows or some magic to deal with it. Zombies are slow, but powerful compared to your weak character. Further down the path are two rats and a zombie. You'll be able to pick up your first Heavy Armor, which should be equipped immediately if you're playing a true melee character. Either way, deal with the rat and then explore the room and open the chests you find. Otherwise, try an attack spell on the rat at the far end of the room. If you've been hit, equip a restoration spell and try it out. Through the door you'll be prompted to try out your magic. Use the Iron Key to open the door out of this room and continue on. Search the dead body of the Goblin Shaman to find several scrolls and other useful items, including the Iron Key. Follow the Tutorial to learn how and inside you'll find some Gold and a gem worth taking. Don't forget this as the game progresses.īefore moving on, look for the chest near the skeleton and try your hand at picking the lock. You can retrieve arrows after you fire them and reuse them. Equip the bow and the arrows simultaneously and practice your aim on the bucket hanging over the well. You'll find some more torches and your first lockpicks around the rest of this room, as well as a bow and some iron arrows near a skeleton. You can find a chest with a a Blunt weapon that you might want to use momentarily until you get a better one and some Gold just to your right after you enter. Equip it and you'll pull it out with your left hand to light the way. You should have found a torch amongst the dead bodies in the previous room. Walk forward through the hole in the wall into a darker cavern. Once you do, search their bodies for some Rat Meat. Swing your sword at them a few times to put them down. They are underpowered, even for you the beginning character. Make sure you equip the Akaviri Katana that Renault dropped and draw it, your first battle is quickly approaching. When it finishes, search the bodies to pick up some weapons and clothing. The Blades fend them off, but Captain Renault dies. Thankfully, they leave the escape route open. Once he is done talking to you, they open a secret path and lead the emperor through. Learn the background of his attempted escape from assassins. When the emperor sees you face, he recognizes you as the one from his dreams.

Run back to the back of the cell and stand under the window and the troop will enter. Just as he tells you that you're going to die in prison, the guards show up with the emperor in tow. Practice picking up and dropping some objects in this area and then walk forward to the end of your cell.Īt the gates, another prisoner starts to taunt you. Sit around and wait and you'll find that your Fatigue naturally comes back if you sit still. Hop around a bit and you'll find that your Fatigue drops down low enough that another tutorial prompt pops up. Follow the instructions to get a handle on the basics of motion. Your first part of the Tutorial quest is to practice moving around. We'll hold your hand slightly more than normal through this section of the game to help you get started.
