Schrödinger's Ogre is a glitch where the player can use Wabbajack on their horse to turn it into an Ogre (or a few of the other creatures listed below) and then go through a door right as it is transforming back, causing the Ogre to remain along with the original horse. Killing the Ogre teleports the horse to its coordinates since these two creatures are still inherently linked.
Instructions
- Acquire a horse and Wabbajack, then fast travel to Anvil Castle Gate and immediately exit the city. (This likely will work at other city gates, but this currently the only one that has been proven to work.)
- Quicksave and repeatedly cast Wabbajack on your horse, reloading until it transforms into a creature that can go through doors, such as an Ogre.
- Wait approximately 8-10 seconds, keeping the enemy by the door, then trick it into going into the city gate by standing on the back edge of the rock by the bridge.
- As the enemy is fading out to enter the city, go into the city gate yourself.
- Exit the city. If timed correctly you now have your horse and the Wabbajack creature spawned in separately. Killing the Wabbajack creature will kill and spawn your horse at its coordinates and create a temporary invisible space where the enemy was that the player can not pass through.
Additional Notes
- You can use Wabbajack on the creature after performing this glitch, resulting in a Wabbajack transformation of a Wabbajack transformation. This seems to mess with the link between the creature and your horse.
- Killing your horse will not kill the Wabbajack creature.
- The name of this glitch is in reference to the famous quantum superposition thought experiment Schrödinger's Cat.
Mechanics
This glitch requires further research to fully understand its mechanics. Some information in this section is currently speculation.
It is unknown whether this glitch works specifically due to the city gate, or if it will work on any type of door. Further testing is required.
Wabbajack Door Creatures
Only certain creatures that Wabbajack can transform your horse into are able to actually use doors in order to perform this glitch, as shown here:
| Creature | Can Use Doors |
|---|---|
| Daedroth | ✘ |
| Deer | ✘ |
| Goblin Skirmisher | ✔ |
| Ogre | ✔ |
| Rat | ✘ |
| Sheep | ✘ |
