Looking to grab one of the most useful rings in Oblivion Remastered? The Ring of Khajiiti is a powerful reward from the Meridia shrine quest, giving you a stealth-boosting Chameleon effect along with a speed increase. If you’re into sneaky gameplay or just want to move faster, this ring’s a must-have. In this guide, we’ll break down the entire process — from finding the shrine to defeating necromancers and claiming your reward — in a simple, step-by-step format.

Key Takeaways:

Quest unlocked at Meridia’s Shrine
Requires ectoplasm or bone marrow to begin
Involves a dungeon run through Howling Cave
Final reward: Ring of Khajiiti with Chameleon + Speed boost

Let’s walk through how to get this legendary ring in Oblivion Remastered.

Step 1: Preparing for the Meridia Shrine Quest

To start the quest, you’ll need to make an offering at Meridia’s shrine. The quest won't activate unless you bring one of two required items:

Ectoplasm
Bone Marrow

Where to Get Ectoplasm or Bone Marrow

You can either find these items during dungeon runs or buy them. The quickest way is heading to the Imperial City Market District.

Go to the Mystic Emporium.
Talk to the vendor.
Purchase either ectoplasm or bone marrow — both work equally well.

Once you’ve got one of them, you’re ready to visit the shrine.

Step 2: Finding Meridia’s Shrine

The shrine is located northeast of Skingrad, not far from the western part of the map. Make sure you’ve hit level 10 or higher — that’s the minimum level required to activate Meridia’s quest.

Directions:

Fast travel to Skingrad.
Head northeast until you find the Meridia shrine, located in the hills.

At the shrine, offer the item and Meridia will appear with a short dialogue, officially starting the quest.

Step 3: Accepting Meridia’s Mission

Meridia despises undead creatures. Her quest is pretty straightforward: hunt down and eliminate necromancers who are performing dark rituals inside Howling Cave.

You’ll get a quest update pointing to the cave location. It’s time to prepare for battle.

Step 4: Entering Howling Cave and Clearing Enemies

The cave can be tough if you’re not ready. You’ll run into:

Skeletons
Zombies
Necromancers
Possibly a few traps

Make sure to bring:

Plenty of health potions
Fire-based magic or weapons (good against undead)
A solid melee or ranged weapon setup

How to Navigate Howling Cave:

Enter the cave and move deeper, fighting through enemies.
Look for a trap door leading to a secret chamber — this is where the necromancers hide.
Defeat all five necromancers in different sections of the cave.

Each necromancer drops useful loot like:

Ebony Maces
Potions
Unique staffs

Take your time exploring and looting before moving on.

Step 5: Finishing the Quest and Getting the Ring

Once all the necromancers are dead, your quest log will update. From there:

Fast travel back to Meridia’s Shrine.
Activate the shrine to receive your reward.

Final Dialogue from Meridia:

"Well done. Those creatures were an affront to all life, and they have paid the price for their actions. Take this ring and go with my blessing."

And just like that, you now own the Ring of Khajiiti.

What Does the Ring of Khajiiti Do?

The ring provides two major enchantments:

Chameleon (35%) on Self — Great for sneaking past enemies undetected
Fortify Speed (+10) — Helps with faster movement across Tamriel

This makes it a top-tier ring for stealth builds or for any character who values mobility.

Tips for Completing the Quest Easily

Use Detect Life spells to locate hidden necromancers in the cave.
Bring fire spells or enchanted weapons — undead are vulnerable to fire.
Don’t forget to loot every room — necromancers carry valuable items.
Save often during the cave run, especially near the trap door section.

Conclusion

The Meridia shrine quest in Oblivion Remastered is one of the easier Daedric quests, but the reward — the Ring of Khajiiti — is incredibly valuable. With stealth-enhancing Chameleon effects and a speed buff, it’s a great tool for many character builds. If you’re planning to complete all Daedric quests or just want an edge in sneaking around, this ring is worth the effort.

Stay prepared, follow the green quest markers, and enjoy the rewards. Happy dungeon crawling!
