Oblivion:Boethia

Current Best Route

Quest stages are indicated in parentheses at the end of each step when they are updated. Keep in mind that these optimized steps are within the context of the 100% speedrun route, meaning that certain items and setups are sometimes assumed to have already been performed prior to the start of the quest.

1. Reach level 20 and acquire a Daedra Heart from the top floor of the Anvil Fighters Guild before starting this quest.
2. Fast travel to Boethia’s Shrine, which is SE of Cheydinhal.
3. Activate the shrine.

   Select “Yes.” (This offers the Daedra Heart.)

4. Wait for the cutscene to end. Follow the Quest Marker to enter the Portal. (20)

   Select “I am ready.”

5. Head ENE, proceeding counter-clockwise around the whole map. You need to kill each person. You can jump around the gates to go faster.
6. Once you are back where you started, the quest will update. Enter the Portal across from the cage you started in. The Quest Marker is sometimes bugged at this part and will not point to the right location. (30)

   Select “Yes.”

7. Follow the Quest Marker to activate the shrine. Wait for the cutscene to end. (✔ 100)
8. Drop the Goldbrand weapon quest reward.

Bugs

Currently there are no known bugs associated with this quest that affect the 100% route.

Route Logic Considerations

• Since a specific player level is required to start this quest, it is best done after the first instance of Power Leveling in the route logic.
• A Daedra Heart is most easily acquired during the Fighters Guild questline since the top floor of the Anvil Fighters Guild has one directly next to a Minotaur Horn that is needed for Expelled from the Fighters Guild. See the Daedra Heart item page for more details.
• Like most Daedric Shrine quests, there are unskippable cutscenes that we need to find a way to avoid.
