This guide was written using the XBOX 360 version of The Elder Scrolls IV:
Oblivion with the current game patch (June 2006 Patch version 1.1.511) along
with all the current content downloads available for the game (Mehrune's Razor,
Thieves Den, Wizard's Tower, Orrery, and Horse Armor Pack).
This guide should work for the XBOX 360, PC, and PlayStation 3 versions of the
game. I doubt it works on the PSP version of the game and I will not be
writing a guide for it.
XBOX 360 users download the latest patch through XBOX LIVE as well as any
add-on packs available.
PC Users download the latest patch here:
http://elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm
And any official add-on packs here:
https://obliviondownloads.com/
Due to the FAQ being really long, it is best to use the CTRL+F feature to
search the Table of Contents to get to the section you want faster.

you just want to help me afford the games to write you a guide please dontae

The following guide was written with patch v1.1.511 from the June 2006 Patch. I
have also downloaded the Downloadable Content of the following so far:
Mehrune's Razor, Thieves Den, Wizard's Tower, Orrery, and Horse Armor Pack.

2.01.06 - Tutorial: The Sanctum
2.01.07 - Tutorial: The Sewers
Before beginning a game you should read your Oblivion game manual to understand
key parts to playing Oblivion. Pay close attention to pages 16-27. Now you are
ready to start the game. Start thinking about what kind of character you want
to be as you play through Oblivion. The key to successfully playing Oblivion is
choosing the right 7 major skills for your character and their race. The major
skills will start off at 25 points instead of 5, like the rest of the skills.
Also the only way to level up your character is with the major skills only and
not the minor skills.
*******************************************************************************
2.01.01 - Picking your Race and Sex
*******************************************************************************
Once you start the game you will see a short cut scene and then be brought
through a castle doorway to meet your character in the Character Creation
Screen. You must now name the character, then pick which gender and race you
would like to be by picking the Race option.
Depending on whether you choose Male or Female along with which race you
choose, your character will have different default stats to go along with them
but the Specials and Skill bonuses will remain the same. The following is a
list of what each type gives you:

Once you decide on the sex and race of your character go to the Face option. In
the Face option you can shape almost every angle on your characters face to the
desired shape you wish them to have. Now go to the Tone option to change
various tones on your character. You can also randomize the face and build off
of it to get moving along.
Now go to the Hair option and customize your hair how you would like it. Change
the eyes if you have the option to, then the age, and finally your characters
complexion. Now click Done to start the Tutorial.
*******************************************************************************
2.01.02 - Tutorial: Imperial Prison
*******************************************************************************
The game will now show you the room you are standing in and give a quick
display reminder of how to move. You find yourself in a prison cell, locked up.
Practice moving around, sitting on the stool, and taking items. Head ovr to the
door to listen to another prisoner across the hall that taunts you. Every Race
has a different conversation with the prisoner based on the race and your sex
that you chose.
After the conversation the guards will come down the stairs and they are in
need of using your cell. The Emperor Uriel Septum VII comes down the stairs
with three members of the Blades. The emperor's sons have been attacked and are
suspected to be dead. The guards will tell you to head over to the window,
which is the far back wall opposite of the door. Head over there for the story
to continue.
Once you reach the position you are supposed to be in your character will
freeze in place, but can still rotate. The emperor will talk to you about how
you were in his dreams. Ask the emperor all the questions you wish and then the
guard to your right will press a stone and open a secret path in your cell. You
are now free to roam around and the guards don't really care what you do now.
Head down the stairs after the group and go through the passageway with them.
You will need to descend another set of stairs, do not get ahead of them here.
A group of assassins after the emperor will attack, you have no weapons nor
armor so stay back with the emperor and talk with him until the battle ends. It
will claim the life of Captain Renault, the woman that opened the passage and
led the group.
Head over to the dead bodies and pick up the items found on them, you can find
a Steel Short Sword on the ground and Renault's Akaviri Katana on her body
along with a torch. You can also take the assassins Mythic Dawn Hood and Robe
if you wish. One of the assassins is also carrying a Weak Potion of Sorcery.
Once you grab all the items some quick recap tutorials will pop up on the
screen telling you how to equip and use the items.
Shortly after two rats will run up the stairs and attack you, deal with them
and move on, the guard told you not to follow the group...as this won't be
possible since he will lock the door behind them. Turn to the south east and
head through the hole in the wall, where the rats are coming through. Make sure
your torch is equipped and head in.
Another rat will either emerge from within the new area or stay inside for you
to go in and attack. Turn to the right just as you enter for a chest containing
a Rusty Iron War Axe and a small handful of Gold. In the far east corner you
will find a skeleton with a lot of items to loot off it. The game will bring up
another quick recap on how to use bows. Equip the bow and arrows and then shoot
at the bucket by the well to get the quest updated. Look next to the skeleton
against the stone for a bag of goodies to look in. The bag will have a 15%
chance of a random item or items in it.
Now head to the chest next to the skeleton and try to open it for a lockpick
tutorial. Test your lock picking skills on the lock and open the chest for a
sapphire and a small amount of Gold. Head over to the well and take the arrows
you shot in to the bucket back.
Open the crate to the right of the well for a Club, some two Lockpicks, and
four Torches. Look in the barrel in the east to south east corner for a Club,
12 more Iron Arrows, Rusty Iron Dagger, and two Lockpicks. Go to the south and
you will find a killed Goblin Shaman on the ground. Loot his body for a Club,
Weak Potion of Sorcery, Chameleon Book, Flash Bolt Book, an Iron Key, and three
Lockpicks. Use the key on the door just behind the goblin's dead body or pick
the easy one tumbler lock with a Lockpick.
*******************************************************************************
2.01.03 - Tutorial: Imperial Substructure
*******************************************************************************
The game will bring up a tutorial pop up to recap on how to cast spells. Kill
the rats in the room using spells to practice getting used to them. Now head
over to the chest in the middle of the south west direction next to some fallen
stones to get an Iron Cuirass and Greaves, 24 arrows, five Lockpicks, three
torches, a healing potion, another Iron bow, and a rusty war axe.
Start to head down the passage way to the north and head back up while shooting
some magic at the rats that come after you. Kill the rats and a Zombie should
be close behind for you to kill. Continue down the path you were headed and
kill anymore rats that get in the way. Head in to another room area and attack
the rats in this area. Open the chest in here for a Weak Potion of Respite and
a Weak Potion of Sorcery, as well as two Lockpicks.
Go northwest through the tunnel to another room. Kill the rats down below and
then turn to the left to open a chest on the left side of this upper area. It
is a little tough to pick this lock as there are three tumblers. Inside the
chest is some Gold, three Lockpicks, and two Torches. Head down the stairs to
the pile of items and grab the shield, Tomato, Lettuce, Wedge of Cheese, and
the Iron Warhammer. By now you may have to much weight on you and a tutorial
will pop up explaining what to do. In the chest on the far side is a Rusty
War Axe and some Gold.
Head up the stairs and go through the next tunnel killing the rats. As you are
heading down the tunnel that leads south west, look on the left side for the
alcove that holds a sack. Inside is a Weak Potion of Healing and three
Lockpicks. Head straight to the wall once you enter the next room and kill the
rat in here. Take the four bottles of Ale out of the barrel in the wall. Now
head south east through a hole in the wall and kill more rats.
Right before heading in to the large caverness room you can harvest some Wisp
Stalks off the plant. Head north west to search the skeleton for some Gold and
two Lockpicks. There are also a Flawed Ruby and Silver Goblet on the ground
mixed in with the bones. Open the chest for two Potion of Healings and a Weak
Potion of Sorcery. Harvest the Cairn Bolete Cap and watch out for any rats that
may jump out from around the corner ahead.
As you move forward through the area another tutorial pop up will tell you how
to Hotkey items. Head south west and grab the Wedge of Cheese on the ground and
harvest some Wisp Stalk Caps. Now turn to the east and harvest the Cairn Bolete
just before entering another section. Harvest the Stinkhorn Cap and Cairn
Bolete in the corner. Now walk past the hanging skulls and enter the next door.
*******************************************************************************
2.01.04 - Tutorial: Natural Caverns
*******************************************************************************
As you head down the tunnel, at the end turn right at the bend to open a small
crate to find a Hand Scythe and a Pewter Bowl. In the barrel is Folded Cloth,
an Hourglass, a Pewter Plate, and Shears. Now turn around and head forward to
gt another tutorial pop up recapping how to use Stealth. Stealth over to the
Goblin standing by the fire watching a rat getting roasted and kill him for a
stealth kill damage bonus. On the crate table you will find a Mortar and Pestle
to create potions and poisons. A tutorial will pop up once you take it to tell
you a little about it. Pick the easy lock on the chest with one tumbler for
some Gold, three Lockpicks, and two Torches.
Continue down the tunnel to the north east. Sneak through this tunnel and then
once you see the Goblin ahead, toggle off sneak mode and run through the trip
wire as you dart for the wall on the right. This wire will set off a trap which
kills the Goblin as it tries to attack you. Check the body for a Bear Pelt and
some random Gold.
Enter the next tunnel and check the dead rat on the ground. Head down the left
path to find a chest on the table to pick with one tumbler. Inside is some
arrows and two Lockpicks. Go to the corner by the fire and barrels to pick up
the two apples, then head down the slope. The logs sitting on the hill can be
triggered as a trap to kill the Goblins just below it, or you can run through
the Goblin camp ahead and lure more tougher Goblins back over here to kill with
it.
Head down the hill and take out the two Goblin archers if you aren't going to
activate the trap just yet and open the two chests below, one having to be
picked with one tumbler. Inside the locked chest is five arrows and a Lockpick.
In the other chest is three Weak Potion of Healing and a Weak Potion of Respite
if you want. Continue through the cavern tunnel.
Watch out on the left side, a Goblin Berserker is standing over here. Take the
Lockpicks and any daggers off the Berserker if you need them. Turn to the right
and snipe the Goblin over here with a stealth kill. Sneak over to the pit in
front of you and snipe the Goblin down here for another stealth kill. Kill some
three rats in the pit on both sides of the gate to the right and watch out for
the Goblin Witch on the other side of the pit. If the witch spots you he will
shoot lightning and throw fireballs at you from that distance. Throw some
fireballs back or stealth kill him from a distance with the bow.
On the half of the pit you started on there is a rope you can pull to activate
the gate below. Check the bodies of all the Goblins for any useful items. Make
sure to go to the Goblin Witches body to loot it for an Iron War Axe, a Petty
Soul Gem, and a Flawed Ruby. Don't forget to look at the Goblin Shaman Staff it
drops, you may want to keep it. Check the chest up by the witches pot of skulls
to pick the simple one tumbler lock for some Gold, two Flawed gems, a Gold
Nugget, a repair hammer, and a silver vase. The game will now have a pop-up
tutorial recap you on how to repair weapons and armor.
Head north by north west to reach an enclosed storage like area with a chest on
the northern wall holding an Iron Longsword, three Lockpicks, and a Repair
Hammer. In the south west corner is a crate with meat and a barrel with four
bottles of ale in it. Head down in to the pit to check the other Goblin and the
rats bodies down here. Now head north east through the next tunnel. Head up the
steep path and turn to the left once you reach the room with the door to find a
chest with Arrows and two Lockpicks. Enter the door to go to the next area.
*******************************************************************************
2.01.05 - Tutorial: Imperial Subterrane
*******************************************************************************
Head up another steep hill and turn to the left, once you reach the hole in the
wall you will be "reunited" with the emperor and the remaining two Blades.
Before dropping down to say hello, watch out for another assassination attempt
by the robed assassins. Let the Blades take care of them, then drop down for
your warm welcome.
The emperor once again helps you out by telling the Blades to stand down. After
they do the emperor will talk to you, respond and then you must choose which

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have decided which Sign you will choose continue on. After the emperor
is done talking to you Baurus will tell you to carry a torch and stay close.
Ask him about the Blades and Uriel Septim. Follow the group down the hallway
but once you all turn right, you should branch to the left a little to open a
chest on the ground to get ten arrows and four Lockpicks. Now quickly jump out
of this pit area and drop down to where the emperor and Blades are as they are
attacked once again by some assassins. Let the Blades kill all the assassins in
the next room as well, then follow them through the door.
*******************************************************************************
2.01.06 - Tutorial: The Sanctum
*******************************************************************************
Wait near the emperor for Glenroy to signal the group that it is safe to follow
him. The gate ahead is barred from the other side, so the group is forced to
head through another passage way. Once in the room assassins will start to come
from behind you so the two Blades head out there to protect the emperor as you
are stuck in the room as a last resort. The emperor tells you he can no longer
go on and gives you his amulet, seconds later an assassin will come through a
passage in the wall and kill the emperor. You must quickly kill the assassin
before he kills you too.
Baurus will talk to you for a little while and give you a key. He explains that
you must go through the sewers and practically straight west in to the woods
southeast of the city of Chorrol. You will now have to choose your class or
create a custom one. Pick whichever pre-made class you want or do your best bet
and create your own class to your liking, name it what you wish and
Loot the assassins body for a Potion of Nighteye. Head through the passage the
assassin used to kill the emperor and continue through the passage way. Open
the door at the end of the hall with Baurus' Key. Now head over to the sewer
grate and enter it to leave this area.
*******************************************************************************
2.01.07 - Tutorial: The Sewers
*******************************************************************************
Head down the stairs and through the tunnel to the north northeast. Watch out
for the Goblin at the end of the hall. Two Rats will also attack while you
enter the next room, dispose of them. Turn to the right just as you enter the
room and check the barrel for six Cheese Wheels, the crate contains three Flour
ingredients, and the chest contains five arrows and two Lockpicks.
Head across the walkway to the other side and kill any rats that show up. Head
over to the right tunnel and kill the rat in here. Head up the stairs and take
out the rat on this upper walkway. As you come out the tunnel look below to
kill the Goblin Berserker with your bow. Hop down and check his body for
Garlic, two Lockpicks, and a Silver Nugget. He will also drop his shield and
Rusty Iron War Axe.
Head back up the stairs in the other tunnel and go across the walkway to open
the gate on the other side. Kill the rat and head for the last door of the
sewer. I advise to manually save your game before even touching the door. Once
you try to leave the game will ask you if you would like to change your race,
class and sign one last time. Make any adjustments you wish and head out the
door. If you saved the game you can now load it at this point to always have
an easy way to make a new character without having to go through the tutorial
all over again....unless you like that sort of thing.

2.02.01 - Deliver the Amulet
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head out to Weynon Priory just outside Chorrol. Enter the large house called
Weynon House. Once inside you will need to locate Jauffre. Hand over the amulet
(what you choose isn't important) and then tell him the emperor's last words.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.02.02 - Find the Heir
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Jauffre tells you that he knows of an illegitimate son of the late emperor. His
name is Martin and he was brought to Kvatch, the city that was attacked and
brought to the ground.
Ask about assistance and he will unlock his chest that he lends items out to
the Blades if you need some extra items. Talking to the other monks you will
get a horse from the stable and a training book for blocking.
Head out to Kvatch and you will find a refugee camp south of Kvatch as you
approach the city limits. A man named Hirtel will come up to you and tell you
that the city has been destroyed by Daedra and that Martin must be dead. Boldon
tells you to talk to Savlian Matius at the top of the road near Kvatch to find
out about Martin.
Head up the path towards the city and it will start to turn a new color in the
sky. As you approach the city gates some guards will be holding position in
front of an Oblivion Gate as Daedra randomly come out of it to fight them. Help
take out the Daedra and then talk to Savlian Matius. He says that some people
were able to run to the chapel and hide in there while others got killed in the
streets. The Count and some others are also locked in the castle and need to be
rescued as well.
The rest of this quest will completed in "Breaking the Siege of Kvatch".
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.02.03 - Breaking the Siege of Kvatch
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Tell Savlian Matius you want to help and he will ask you to step in to the gate
to find the group of men he sent in to try to close it. Head in to the Oblivion
Gate and you will be transported in to a hellish looking world. Run straight
ahead and kill the Daedra to rescue one of the guards running around.
He will tell you that they were being picked off one by one and getting taken
to the tower. He tells you he is getting out of there, tell him to either go
help Captain Matius or stay and help you. It is best to just have him stay
alive and help later by sending him to help Captain Matius for now.
The path to the north east leads to a dead end with more Daedra to kill off and
the path north leads to a War Gate that won't open but you can see four guard
bodies laying on the ground. Head west and take the lower path to the right.
You will find another guard burned alive in the lava. Make your way around the
path and kill off the Daedra that come after you.
Eventually you will make it to a large open area at the tower bases. Make your
way east to find the door to the tower labelled The Blood Feast and enter it.
Kill the Daedra inside the tower and go to the south west door to the Rendering
Halls. Go through the hallway and open the door to a room on the second floor.
Now head east back in to the Blood Feast tower to reach the next floor.
Go to the south and take the door to the Corridors of Dark Salvation. Head up
the ramp to the north west and take care of the Daedra to head through the door
back outside and walk along the sky bridge to the tower nearby. Enter the
Reapers Sprawl and you will hear someone yelling about the gate.
Head up the ramp and talk to the Kvatch guard locked in the cage. He tells you
that you must remove the Sigil Stone to shut down the gate and the Sigil Keeper
has the key. Head down the tower or wait for the keeper to come up to this
floor and kill him off to grab his key. Head back out to the bridge and
re-enter the Corridors of Dark Salvation.
Go to the door on the north side and use the key you just got to open it. Head
up the ramp and watch out for the spikes that stab out of the wall on both
sides just at the top of the ramp. Kill the Daedra and go through the southern
door to the Blood Feast. Go up the ramp and kill the Daedra waiting at the top.
Use the red hot portal to teleport up the tower higher.
Head up the rest of the tower and kill off the Daedra that are in the way.
Unlock the door to the east with the key and head inside. Head up the ramp and
then enter the middle room. Go up the stairs in the back of the room and then
wrap back around the floor killing the Daedra. Go up the last ramp and kill the
Daedra, then go to the peak of the fire and grab the Sigil Stone. The world
then begins to burn up and you are teleported outside Oblivion as the gate
shuts.
Go talk to Savlian Matius and he thanks you for closing the gate. Now he wants
to quickly rush the city, if you need to rest and/or repair your armor do so
now. There is no real time limit to how long you wait to continue on with this
quest. Come back to him when you are ready and tell him you are ready to head
in.
Charge in to the city as Savlian Matius yells "For Kvatch!!" and take on more
Daedra. You must kill off all the Daedra in the area in order to free the
people within the chapel. Once all the Daedra are killed talk to Savlian Matius
about what to do next. Now head inside the Chapel to see if there are
survivors. Savlian Matius has another guard escort everyone including Martin
back to the refugee camp down the path and then returns once she is done.
You will now be able to start a side quest called "The Battle for Castle
Kvatch". This should be completed before "Allies for Bruma" from the Main Quest
is completed.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.02.04 - Weynon Priory
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Talk to Brother Martin and explain to him who he is. You will find him down at
the refugee camp once you are done with helping around Kvatch. Once he is
convinced take him to Weynon Priory by fast travel or head out along the trails
as you protect him.
As you get back to Weynon Priory from Kvatch with Martin you will be greeted by
Eronor the shepard. He comes running up to you with an attacker close behind as
he tells you Weynon Priory is under attack. Prior Maborel is dead and the
others are believed to be in the chapel. Kill off the attackers and they will
turn in to Mythic Dawn Assassins.
As you approach the large house Brother Piner will come running out asking about
Jauffre. Tell him he might be in the chapel and then run over to it at the
east. Jauffre believes they came for the amulet and now you must go check on it
to see if it is still safe. Head back over to the house and enter.
Jauffre runs upstairs and goes in to an already opened secret door that looked
like the cabinet. Head inside and you will ind a smashed chest where the amulet
used to be. Tell Jauffre that Martin is safe and at the Priory. He then tells
you that they have to go to Cloud Ruler Temple near Bruma.
Head out and either fast travel to Cloud Ruler Temple (it will let you fast
travel here even if you have never been to it before) or travel on foot over to
it. Once you reach the gates they will automatically open with a soldier to
greet you. Everyone heads to the top of the stairs where Martin gives a speech
and then talks to you about what he should do.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.02.05 - The Path of Dawn
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Speak to Jauffre and he will ask if you would like to join the Blades Order.
There is only one rank and you get your own katana just like the Blades. You
can also go to the armory to get the two-handed katana and the full set of
Blades armor if you wish underneath the library.
Head out to the Imperial City Elven District and head in to Luther Broad's
Boarding House. Talk to Baurus and he will tell you that he is going to get up
and leave. The guy in the corner will then follow Baurus and you are to follow
him. Don't say anything except "I'm ready when you are."
Baurus heads in to the cellar and sure enough the man in the corner follows him
as well. Quickly head down in to the cellar after them. Baurus jumps the man
from around the corner and he turns in to a Mythic Dawn Assassin. Kill him off
and then search his body to find a book called "Mythic Dawn Commentaries 1".
Take it and read it to level your conjuration skill.
Now talk to Baurus to see what he has learned. He has been tracking down Mythic
Dawn Agents through the Imperial City and they must have taken notice. Tell him
they have the amulet and you found Uriel's heir. After you have talked to him
ask what the next move should be. He tells you to find Tar-Meena at the Arcane
University and show her the book.
Head over to the Arcane University and look for Tar-Meena. If you aren't a high
ranking Mage in the Mages guild you will find Tar-Meena in the lobby of the
