Unlockables

Secret Treasure

Buy the house in Skingrad, then go to the top floor and look for the room with the deer mantle. Jump on top of the mantle, then jump again onto the loft design in the back corner. You will find an old note that has a riddle on it which leads to a treasure.

Unnamed Sword

Use the ''Duplicate items'' trick on a paintbrush. After getting at least twenty paint brushes, go outside of ''A Fighting Chance'' in the Imperial City Market District at midnight. Drop a paintbrush. Notice that it will float. Get on top of the brush and repeat the process to form a set of stairs. Once you get high enough to reach the top of the A Fighting Chance store, get on top of the building and look for a chest that is locked. The lockpick level is very difficult. Lockpick it and look inside to find an odd sword without a name. The sword has no attack, breaks easily, and cannot be sold.

Hints

Frostwyrm Bow

To get the frostwyrm bow, go to dive rock in the valus mountains, north east of cheydinhal. It's difficult to get to because it is high up in the mountains, but I found a path by the camp of the master acrobatics trainer. When you get to dive rock there should be a tent and a sack near the edge of the cliff. Opent the sack an read the journal there should be some familiar names if you've played Morrowinds blood moon expansion package. The journal says that a couple went hunting for a monster called Uderfrtyke Matron. The journal says that the couple found the monster and it killed the wife of the couple and ate her whole ( the woman had the bow in her inventory when she was devoured so in case you were wondering, yes you have to kill the monster to get the bow) the man survived and wrote in the journal. Then he went back to kill the monster ( and yes, he died) after you read the journal go to the edge of the cliff and wait a couple seconds, it will say you discovered some new dungeon locations (this is optional)now go back the mountain using the same trail the monster should be running around somewhere along the trail. (it lookes like a blue troll) the monster is 100% immune to frost and has the chameleon ability, but is weak to fire kill it and take the bow from its remains - the bow has a 15 point frost damage.

Easy Way To Become A Vampire

All you need to do is travel to Skingrad go to the count's chamber and get into a fight with him until you get a disease called Porphyric Hemophelia.

How To Get The Shivling Iles

The way to get the shivling isles for ps3 is to go to play station store and have 39. 99 funds on your network and buy the and on and then in a hour or 2 you wil have the shivling isles for ps3.

Best Blade

In the shivling isles there is a quest called a better mouse trap when you got to kill this people and at the end this dark elf gives you one of the people that you killed called dawn fang and the spell on the blade changes every hour or 2 from frost to fire or fire to frost and it tells how many people you killed and after you killed 12 or 13 it changes to dawn fang superior.

Steel Arrows

Inside the dark brotherhood hideout when the npcs r in their training room one of the characters will be shooting at a target. Just wait a second let her shoot a few arrows and take them. This can be repeated.

Landscape Climbing

Have you ever been playing Oblivion and you get a quest thats in the middle of the mountains for no absolute reason and no matter how hard you try the mountain stops you from getting to it. Well, for doing the glitch that has you jump over the castle walls so that the area does not load just makes everything invisible. If you do that glitch you will notice that the little bushes that are on mountains are still visible. That's where landscape Climbing comes in. I found that no matter what mountain you are trying to climb just follow the bushes and you can never be stopped just try until you can get the hang of it. I found it really useful have easier more fun climbing.

Blunt And Blade Easy Level

Okay so first off if you have any magic weapons you want to level make sure your armorer is at least journey man other that all you need if alot of repair hammers and a spell that heals an oppents life on touch so to do this you need to goto the arena and get to the fight where you fight the grandchampion but before you offically fight him do the quest the orgin of the grey prince that he will give you personally after you do that quest and you goto fight him he will not attack thats where you set the difficulty all the way up and start attacking him go for as long as you want but make sure you constantly heal him this will work for bows and maigcka spells too and when you are finished just kill him off afterwards set the difficulty back to normal if you want.

The Flame Sword

To obtain the Flamesword You must go to the Chorrol Northgate and kill at least one person no guards with the blade of Woe then you will have the Flamesword.

Bound Weapon

To get a bound weapon go to the place near the mage tower where you make your own spell and when you start to make the spell select 2 bound weapons for the spell then cast it and drop the weapon you want then wait until the spell wears off. Then pick it back up and now you have a bound weapon.

Fun At Summitmist Manor

On the dark brotherhood quest whodunnit you will be told to kill everyone at summit mist manor without being seen. Travel to skingrad and find the place you be greeted outside by the doorman he will tell you that all the guests have arrived and you have to kill all of them, then he gives you the key to the house. Once inside matilda will talk to you tell her your an assassin and it will boost up her disposition ( she loves a good joke) then persuade all the guests to see how the guests feel about each other talk to matilda again and she asks to form an alliance to find the treasure tell her to look in the basement this will provide a spot for the murder after that talk to dovesi she is scared tell her to go rest upstairs (all guests except for neville will stay around the table fromthis point on)kill her while shes sleeping. Go talk to neville to send him upstairs to get his armor kill him once he's upstairs the talk nels about primous he says he's the killer and rushes of to kill him then you kill nels when hes through killing (note this could be played differently).

Becoming A Vampire

Okay there are a few ways at becoming a vampire the easiest way to do this is go into a cave or ayleid ruins, or you can wait until you have to find the boots of springheel jak for the gray fox toward the end of the thieves guild quests, but you will do this by attacking a vampire doesn't matter what kind after you attack it just stand still it will come and attack you after it has made contact it will say you have contracted a disease then you will go and sleep for FOUR days and it will bring up a page like you have leveled up and you will gain vampire attributes.

The Pirate Ship

Okay if you wandering how you can get on the pirate ship on the far left in the imperial city waterfront, it's easy all you have to do is step aboard the ship the pirates will then immediately start attacking you if they see you and make sure they do other wise this won't work, when they begin to attack start running as fast as you can toward the other ship on your way there the guard will see you being chased and will begin to help you just stand back and let the guard take care of it it is entirely possible that the first guard will die and if he does when the pirates are dead you are completely free to loot his body, don't attack the pirates if you do you will get a bounty.

Easy Way To Level Your Blade,blunt Or Marksman

Okay the easy way to do this is find a character that will not die he/or she just goes unconscious and as he/or she begins to wake and stand hit him again and do this repeatedly until you gain and advancement in the skill you are working, oh and go into sneak before you this so you get the 3x damage or 6x damage (you will not get bounty).

Use the Skeleton Key

When you get the skeleton key, a number of opportunities open. However, if you go for the main quest, eventually you'll have to give it to Martin. But before you do that, join the thieves guild and it will be much easier since the skeleton key doesn't break. Make the skeleton key useful while you can.

Easy Way To Travel Over Hills

If you have a horse (any horse will do) you can go over hills buy going strait up the hill as far as you can go then start going left and right while still going forward and you will go up the hill no matter how steep.

Good Training And Item Carrying

When you get the horse from the Dark Brotherhood, you can use it to get your exp. up. This can help with your Marksman, Hand to Hand, Blade, Destruction, and also help you carry more stuff. Just knock the horse out and search it. Put your stuff in there and he will carry it for you. Just knock him out again to get them back. (Note: after you knock him out once or twice, he will walk away.)

Duplicate Items

First, you need to have more than one type of scroll, such as flare, hailstorm, etc. Go into you items and select that scroll twice(hit X twice). Then, go to the weapon/item you want duplicated and drop it. you will have as many duplicates of the item as the number of scrolls you had. Note:this cheat may not work for all items, but it does work with the majority of them. Also, do not duplicate too many at a time, as your frame rate will be so slow, you'd be better off restarting the system. I'd draw the limit at 40 duplicates at one time, but even then you will experience some lag.

Floating Paintbrushes

There are paintbrushes stored in random containers at various locations. If you take one out and drop it, it will not fall. It will just float in the location you were looking at when you dropped it. You can drop them in sets of two or more and use them as steps to reach high places. You can also use them as barriers between you and enemies.

Easy Kills In "Purifictation" Quest

While doing the "The Purification" quest for the Dark Brotherhood, use the following trick to easily kill some of the members in the santuary such as Ocheeva and Vincent. First, get your Disposition with them as high as possible, then sneak attack them with a dagger. Before they have a time to retaliate, propose a yeild. You can attack and yeild repetedly until they are killed.

Different Weapons In "Taking Care Of Lex" Quest

While doing the ''Taking Care Of Lex" quest for the Thieves Guild, you must scald the paper with Lex's seal. Just beside the desk where the seal is, you will see a chest. If you come in the door directly behind the chest, you will get an Elven longsword, Glass longsword, Orcish helmet, and a Mythril shield. If you come in from the door upstairs, you will get an Elven longsword and Dwarven greaves. If you come in the exact entrance, you will not be able to open the chest.

Cure For Vampiricy

You must first have access to Arcane University. Go in and talk to the mage and he will tell you to talk to a man in Skingrad. Do as he says and run errands for whoever you need to talk to. Eventually you will be allowed to get rid of your vampiricy.

Feeding As A Vampire

If you have a good Sneak skill you can feed from a sleeping person without waking them.

Getting Desired Sigil Stones

While in Sigillum Sanguis (the Sigil Keep at the top of an Oblivion Citadel), save the game while standing in front of the Sigil Stone, before grabbing it. If you do not get the desired effects from the stone, load from the point before you grabbed it and try again. The Sigil Stone you get is chosen at random upon removing it.

Good Armor

At the beginning of the game after the King's convoy is attacked, quickly take the dead guard's katana and armor. This will make defeating the rats and trolls much easier.

Good Weapon

Fill a Black Soul Gem with a Human Soul. Take a weapon that is not already enchanted and give it fire, frost, or shock damage. Then, give a weakness to whatever damage you just gave it. When you swing it the first time, it will do the fire, frost, or shock damage, then give a weakness to it. The second swing will do a lot more damage.

Good Cheap House

Go to the city of Anvil, then go to the inn. Inside is a man whose name starts with a "B". He is selling his grandfather's old manor. You can purchase it for 5,000 gold, which is very cheap considering that most houses are 15,000 gold and are not as good. The house (at first) is ugly and haunted. However, after completing the quick quest the house will be fixed up without any additional payment.

Making Black Soul Gems

Take an empty Grand Soul Gem and a Soultrap spell to any of the four Necromancer lairs. There will be an altar which will only be active one day of the week. You may need to wait up to six game days. Place your Gem on the altar when it is active and cast Soultrap on it to make a Black Soul Gem. These are used for capturing the souls of NPCs. One is also required for one of the Daedric Quests as a tribute to the shrine.

Making Stolen Items Authentic

When you steal items, most of the merchants will not buy them. Use the following trick to authenticate them. Get in the jail and escape. Take your items authenticated or pay for your days in jail and you will have the items authenticated again.

Saving Lockpicks

When you go on a mission for the Thieves Guild, it is much easier to steal keys for all the doors from immobile guards or the owner(s) of the place you are robbing after you have leveled up your Sneak skill with the "Easy Sneak level" trick. After you steal the keys you can open nearly every door for the building you are in.

Easy Kills With Nord Race

Select the Nord as your race and choose The Lover as you star pattern. Get an enemy down a little bit in health, then use The Lover's star pattern ability to stun them. While they are stunned, hit them with Nordic Frost. This will kill almost all enemies and works well as a finisher.

Easy Stealing

Get the Gray Fox's mask and put it on. Steal something and wait for the guards to tell you, "Oh, you are the Gray Fox. I'm going to kill you" (or something similar). Select "Resist Arrest". Then, go to your inventory and take off the mask. Exit the menu, then yield to the guard by holding Block and pressing X to talk to him at the same time. He should walk away. You will not have a bounty, and you will still have the stolen item.

Easy Lockpicking

While unlocking a door, press Up on a key, then immediately pause the game afterwards. Look at the tab you raised up. If it is mostly up and about to reach the top, resume the game and do it again. If it is mostly half-way or mostly down, resume the game and immediately press X. You should have that tab done. Continue on with the next tab. This might require a few attempts, but after you have done it once it should be easy.

Easy Ebony And Umbra Sword

Go to the Arena and get a few claymores. Then, go directly south of the Imperial Waterfront to a place called the Old Bridge. Move west and follow the road until you reach a ruin that starts with a "V". Go inside and get past the minor creatures. You will find a girl named Umbra. There is one broken pillar in the room. Use the bench next to it to jump on top of it, then stand at the edge. Use a ranged attack to have her start attacking you. Then, take out the claymore and just start hitting her. She has a lot of health and does a lot of damage -- do not fall off the pillar. If done correctly, you will have full Ebony and a great sword without getting touched.

Easy Conjuration Skill

Near the town of Bruna, go east, then southeast. If you reach The Red Ruby Cave you went too far. You will need to go back west slightly. You should see a shrine, that once activated, will give you Conjuration points as well as a temporary bound weapon and/or greaves. You can keep activating the shrine every 24 hours. Wait in front of it for 24 hours, then activate it again. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Easy Athletics Skill

Get an enchanted amulet, ring, or other item you can enchant with Water Breathing. Make sure it is a constant effect. Equip the item with Water Breathing, then jump in some water. Swim to the bottom, then hold [Up] to keep swimming into the floor. Your Athletics skill will greatly increase in just five minutes.

Easy Armor Skill

There is a woman named Arvena Thelas in the town of Anvil who has four rats in her basement (the same as the first Fighter's Guild quest). If your level is high enough that rats do not cause you significant damage, you can break into her house, annoy the rats by punching them (or casting drain fatigue spells if your punch is too strong), then letting all four rats attack you while occasionally casting a heal spell. This is also useful for raising your Block skill, and is much easier than repeatedly causing summoned monsters to attack you.

Easy Alteration Skill

To get quickly increase your Alteration skill, make sure you have these spells: Open Average Lock, Open Easy Lock, and Open Very Easy Lock. Then, find a chest that you would normally need a key or have to lockpick. Use the opposite spell of the chest. For example, if the chest requires the easy spell, use the very easy spell on it. Make sure you have some Magicka potions or you can just wait an hour every time you exhaust your Magicka supply. In a short period of time you will have leveled your Alteration skill dramatically.

Easy Alchemy Skill

Steal a mortar and pestle. Steal a lot of food items and turn them into potions. It should not take too long to reach the Master level. Use the "Duplicate items" trick to duplicate two different types of food (such as apples and lettuce or other fruits). Try to get over 100 of each food. Then, use a mortar and pestle to create potions from the food. Repeatedly make potions as quick as possible with the duplicated food. When you run out of food to make the potions, just duplicate some more and repeat the process. It is possible to get your Alchemy skill to Master in ten minutes or less.

Easy Acrobatics Skill

While moving around on foot, just keep jumping instead of walking to your desired location to easily increase your Acrobatics skill.

Infinite Arrows

Go to the Bloodworks in the arena and find the gladiator that is practicing with his bow on a target. Stand close by him and when there are five to ten arrows in the target, take them before he does. He will just continue shooting when you move out of the way. This is an unlimited source of iron arrows, which can be sold to almost any merchant and therefore also makes an unlimited source of gold. Go outside of the Inn Of Ill Omen where the man is practicing his archery. He is using steel arrows. Go in front of him and pick up the arrows. He will not hit you and just wait until you move out of his way. You will not get into trouble with the guards. Repeat this as many times as desired.

More Easy Gold

Use the "Duplicate items" trick inside a store. Make sure the item you duplicate is worth a lot of gold. Sell all but one of the item that was duplicated, then repeat the process as many times as desired. It is possible to make up to 50,000 gold in a few minutes.

Infinite Gold

Go to the Talos Plaza District of Imperial City and find a house owned by a man named Dorian (Dorian's House) in the southeast section of the district. Break into his house and find him. When he tells you to leave, kill him. Do not press X to loot him and take all. Instead, take each item individually, finishing with the gold, which will not run out once it hits 8 pieces. Just keep selecting the gold he is carrying and take it. Do this repeatedly, and the number of gold pieces remaining will freeze when it gets down to 8 gold pieces. It will not go any lower, but will just keep giving you as much gold as desired. Note: After you break in and he tells you to get out, talk to him. Go to "Persuade" and bribe him a lot. After that, kill him. He will now have more money to loot, which makes it easier to get more faster.

Infinite Recharge

Use the "Duplicate items" trick on a Soul Gem. Pick them all up. When an item is on low charge you can recharge it back to full without wasting money on Soul Gems or having to bother with soul trapping.

Infinite Health

Use the "Duplicate items" trick on a potion of strong health. Repeat the duplication to get the desired amount of potions. Open the inventory screen and go to the strong potion of health, then assign a hotkey to that potion. When you are low on health, just press the hotkey to use a potion. When running low on health potions, repeat the duplication process.

Duplicate Items

Equip a bow and any set of arrows, then draw your bow back. While it is drawn back, go to the inventory screen. Select the arrows that you are using, then go to the item to be duplicated. Drop the item, then leave the equipment screen and resume the game. The item that you dropped will be duplicated. You can pick up all the duplicates and use or sell them. The amount of copies of an item you make depends on how many arrows you have equipped. For example, 10 arrows allows 10 copies. This works with most, but not all, items and weapons. Note: Do not try to duplicate more than 250 copies of an item or the game may freeze.

Easter eggs

We have no easter eggs for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion yet. If you have any unlockables please submit them.

Glitches

Arena Glitch

When at the Imperial City Arena, go on the outside of the arena and drop a paintbrush. It will float. You will need about twenty paintbrushes and to that you will need to use the "Duplicate Items" cheat by having more than 1 of the same scroll. Once you have climbed onto the first paint brush, drop another and keep doing that until you create a set of stairs. Once at the top, you will need to jump into the arena, but save before you jump. If you do not live, then create another set of stairs going down. Once in the arena, you can do whatever you desire and to leave the inside of the arena, got to the Arena Blood Works Door and you will be back outside.

Super Glitch In Imperial City

Go to the imperial city and find some paint brushes and duplicate them. Then use them in the market district to jump on the roofs of the stores. Get near to a wall on top of the store and drop the paint brushes until you get to the wall, then jump over it(better have a lot of health and acrobatics if you want to live). you will notice that the walls have disappeared when you turn around. You can't walk through where the walls were but you can shoot through them and the enemies can't hit you. And if you look around the outside area it will all look different. The water in the river is gone and some of the area is also gone. And sometimes you will walk under the ground. The only way to undo this glitch is to either fast travel or go into a door.
