The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered | Hidden Quests You'll Regret Missing

Few worlds offer the sense of discovery like Cyrodiil—and beneath its well-trodden roads lies a network of hidden missions that even the most vigilant adventurers can overlook.

In Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda's classic RPG returns with pristine visuals and bug fixes, but those shadowy quests remain as elusive as ever.

Venture with me into the mist-shrouded corners of the Imperial Province, where five clandestine adventures await the bold—and the unwary.

#1. Bittneld and Emfrid - Fixed in Oblivion Remastered!

The first such mystery begins in the bustling streets of Chorrol, where the kindly author Casta Scrabunia murmurs about matters of the heart—though no journal entry ever hints at her genuine desire. Long bugged in the original release, her matchmaking quest unfolds flawlessly in the Remastered edition.

After striking up a conversation about love rather than the looming Oblivion gates, you can learn that she yearns to see the town's grizzled guard captain find romance with the tavern's shy barmaid.

Whispering confidences and trading clues at the Mage's Guild, you need to track the captain through the castle's echoing halls and tempt him toward the Shady Lady Tavern.

In the flickering lamplight, fate may unite two lonely souls there—if the captain can tear himself away from his nightly watch. Further east, in the borderlands of Leyawiin, another champion of love and havoc takes the stage.

#2. Black Bow Bandits

Mizoga the Orc, newly knighted into the ranks of the White Stallion, hunts the remnants of the Black Bow Bandits with single-minded ferocity. As her unlikely companion, you must follow her fearless sally into ruined fortresses.

At Tilpe, she barrels through the ruins mid-afternoon, blades cleaving through bandit ranks with gleeful abandon. Undeterred by death traps or clashing foes, Mizoga's crusade spills north to Rockmilk Cave and Undertoe Cavern.

As she dispatches every last archer, you can claim the fallen black bows as loot—and earn the Count's gratitude, coin jingling in your purse. It's a quest that blends knightly duty with a wild orc's unstoppable zeal.

#3. Illegal Cargo

By the harbor in Anvil, a rogue's life reveals its sheepish side on the deck of the Sea Tub Clarabella. Hidden behind a stoutly locked hatch, a gang of dubious pirates earns coin not by plunder but by smuggling sheep—much to the fury of their first mate, Filch.

When you break free of the hatch, sword in hand, you have to hack through the deckhands to face their captain. A hastily scribbled note on his bloodstained desk reveals the crew's disdain for pastoral duties and a longing for actual piracy.

With Filch cut down and the captain's key in hand, you can descend to the cargo hold, where woolly contraband bleats in terror. Clearing the brig of its brigands, you claim golden rings and jeweled goblets—plus the satisfaction of justice for criminal sheep rustlers.

#4. Attack on Fort Sutch

The clamor of steel meets the roar of Daedra outside Fort Sutch, a lone stronghold on the verge of being overrun. After the main storyline scatters Oblivion gates across Cyrodiil, one particularly stubborn portal opens near this weary outpost.

There, a squad of Imperial Legion begs for aid to stem the tide of invaders. You can drive back Clannfears and Atronachs together, forging a temporary alliance in fire and fury.

Once crackling with doubt, the captain's voice rings clear as you slip through the gape of the Oblivion gate. Within, a single Sigil Stone glows like captured moonlight.

You ought to close the gap with a firm hand and come to applause from the thankful soldiers—a little act with long-term effect, identifying you as a hero outside Sharandar's walls.

#5. Circlet of Omnipotence

Not all treasures require steel or sorcery. Some demand cunning and an ear for whispered tales. High in the crags beyond the Pale Pass, an old wanderer's note waits tucked in a barrel, telling of a hidden ring and the promise of unparalleled power.

To claim it, you need to unlock a chain of forgotten chests scattered across wind-swept ruins. The first key, rusted nearly through, turns in a western watchtower where moonlight pools upon mossy stone. The second opens a chest near the serpent's maw, where emerald lizards slither among the broken walls.

Finally, at the ghostly entrance to the pass, you can unearth the third vault, revealing the Circlet of Omnipotence. Warm to the touch and humming with magic, it grants the wearer a boost to strength, speed, willpower, and endurance—transforming any adventurer into a living legend.

Therefore, these five hidden quests remind us that even a well-worn map can conceal uncharted paths. Oblivion Remastered sharpens the province of Cyrodiil, but its secrets remain as tantalizing as ever.

So polish your blade, steady your spell hand, and set out again—beyond the gate, beneath the barley, and into the echoes of those who wrote history in shadows. May your journal sing of these deeds one day—if only you remember where to look.
