The Skeleton Key is an extremely useful tool in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered — it’s an unbreakable and reusable lockpick.
Getting the Skeleton Key is no easy task as you’ll need to complete a quest to receive it, and, not only that, you’ll need to be level 10 to begin the quest, which requires a fair amount of time in itself. However, the Skeleton Key is very valuable as you no longer need to find or buy lockpicks anymore.
Here’s how to get the Skeleton Key in Oblivion Remastered.
How to get the Skeleton Key in Oblivion Remastered
To get the Skeleton Key in Oblivion Remastered, you’ll need to complete the quest “Nocturnal,” which can only be started once you’ve reached level 10.
‘Nocturnal’ quest location
To start the “Nocturnal” quest, you must be at least level 10. Once you are, interact with Mor gra-Gamorn at the Nocturnal Shrine, which can be found northeast of Leyawiin.
‘Nocturnal’ quest walkthrough
Once you’ve given the “Nocturnal” quest from Mor gra-Gamorn, interact with the Nocturnal Shrine to speak with the Daedric Prince. Nocturnal will send you on a quest to retreive the Eye of Nocturnal, which has been stolen by thieves in Leyawiin.
Make your way to Leyawiin and head to Weebam-Na’s house, which can be found directly across from the house available for sale. Inside, you’ll find two Argonians, Weebam-Na and Bejeen, and you’ll need to ask both of them about the whereabouts of the Eye of Nocturnal. Both of them will deny knowing anything about the item and refuse to talk about it again — well, at least in your presence.
For this next step, you’ll need to eavesdrop on Weebam-Na’s and Bejeen’s conversation, so you’ll need to seak away towards the house’s entrance as if you’ve left the house. If their conversation ends abruptly and they don’t mention the eye at all, you may need to leave the house and re-enter to make their chat progress. Eventually, the two will say they’ve hidden the eye in the Tidewater Cave, which is located southeast of Leyawiin and conveniently marked on the map for you.
When inside, take the first left turn followed by two more left turns to find a tunnel full of water. Dive into the water and continue along the path until you find a small opening on your right, which contains the Eye of Nocturnal.
With the eye in your inventory, leave the cave and return to the Nocturnal Shrine. Interact with the shrine to return the Eye of Nocturnal, complete the “Nocturnal” quest, and receive the Skeleton Key as a reward.
