Introduction
In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, the final chapter of the Knights of the Nine expansion takes players into an epic confrontation with one of the game’s most notorious villains — Umaril the Unfeathered. This guide walks you through everything you need to know to defeat Umaril, complete the quest, and understand what happens after the final battle. Whether you're revisiting the story or experiencing it for the first time, this walkthrough keeps things simple, helpful, and spoiler-conscious.
You'll also learn how to summon the powers of past knights, what blessings each divine offers, and how your decisions affect the conclusion. Get ready to relive one of Oblivion Remastered's most rewarding moments.
Starting the Final Battle
As the quest begins, you’ll receive your final instructions from the leader of the Knights of the Nine. The gates to Umaril's lair must be opened, and the knights trust you to lead the charge. There's a sense of urgency as you head into the stronghold — your allies rally behind you, shouting praises to the Nine Divines and preparing for war. This moment sets the stage for one of the most intense battles in Oblivion Remastered.
Before stepping through the portal, make sure your gear is in top condition. Carry healing potions, restore magicka items, and any artifacts from the pilgrimage. You'll be facing several Daedric enemies before reaching Umaril himself.
Combat Tips and Umaril's First Phase
The first phase of the fight is a typical melee and magic battle. Umaril uses a combination of physical strikes and shock-based magic attacks. Use shock resistance enchantments or spells to mitigate damage. Keep your distance when needed and strike with enchanted weapons.
Key Tips:
-
Block often and manage your stamina.
-
Use ranged magic to avoid close hits.
-
Summon allies if possible to distract Umaril.
Once defeated, Umaril collapses — but the battle isn’t over yet.
The Spirit Realm and Umaril’s True Defeat
After Umaril falls in the physical realm, the prophecy continues. As the Crusader, you follow his spirit into the ethereal plane to face him one last time. This second phase is more challenging, with Umaril stronger and faster. The environment changes — it's now a spectral space with limited footing and odd visual effects, making movement trickier.
You’ll rely heavily on your divine blessings and stamina recovery. Umaril’s attacks become more unpredictable. Keep moving, avoid corners, and use your Crusader abilities to stay alive. Once he falls in the spirit realm, he’s gone for good — his essence destroyed, not just banished.
The Aftermath and Your Resurrection
After the fight, a cutscene plays. Your character is found dead beside Umaril’s corpse — no wounds, no explanation. You’re buried in secret by your comrades in the Undercroft to keep the truth hidden from enemies. But the Nine have other plans.
You're resurrected, returned by divine power. As you rise, your allies are shocked but see it as proof of the gods’ favor. You now hold the highest honor: the living symbol of faith and justice. This scene ends the main story arc of the Knights of the Nine, giving players a powerful sense of closure and reward.
Redemption and Reflection from the Fallen Knights
After your resurrection, you’ll speak with the spirits of the redeemed knights. Each of them shares personal stories of guilt, failure, and ultimate forgiveness. One key tale involves a knight who confesses to murdering a brother-in-arms in a moment of pride and rage. His journey from corruption to redemption mirrors the path your character took in restoring the Order.
These conversations don’t just offer closure; they reinforce the theme of atonement that runs through the entire expansion. The knights return to Aetherius, the divine plane, finally freed from their torment. Their spirits remain accessible, however — you can receive their blessings by praying at their tombs.
Divine Blessings and Permanent Powers
Each Divine grants a unique power to aid you after the quest:
-
Akatosh: Fortifies your magicka regeneration rate.
-
Stendarr: Increases weapon damage and defense.
-
Julianos: Boosts intelligence and spell effectiveness.
-
Mara: Adds endurance and healing benefits.
-
Kynareth: Enhances movement speed and agility.
-
Zenithar: Increases luck and mercantile skill.
-
Arkay: Improves health and resistance to undead.
-
Dibella: Adds charm and speech bonuses.
-
Talos: Buffs strength and shout abilities (depending on mods).
These blessings are passive and permanent as long as you maintain your Crusader’s honor. Avoid crimes or unethical actions, or you may lose access to them.
What Happens to the Order After the Quest
With Umaril defeated, the Knights of the Nine rebuild under your leadership. You can recruit new knights, defend the chapel, and continue to serve as the Order’s commander. NPCs in the world will recognize your deeds — many will call you Lord Crusader and reference your resurrection. The base at the Priory becomes your permanent home, complete with upgrades and gear.
This is also a great time to explore other side quests, as your boosted stats and divine blessings give you a serious edge in combat and negotiation. Your journey with the Knights of the Nine is technically over, but your legend as the Crusader continues.
Why This Questline Stands Out
The Umaril quest stands out not just for its boss fight, but for its emotional weight and thematic closure. It’s rare in open-world RPGs to experience a resurrection storyline with actual consequence and reverence. The faith-based narrative, the layered combat, and the moral redemptions make it one of the most memorable arcs in Oblivion Remastered.
This guide aimed to simplify the quest’s steps while preserving its depth. Now that you’ve walked through it all — from siege to resurrection — you’re ready to face Umaril yourself, armed with both skill and story knowledge.
Conclusion
Defeating Umaril the Unfeathered in Oblivion Remastered is more than just finishing a boss battle — it's about fulfilling a divine purpose. You lead the Knights of the Nine, restore a fallen order, and earn the favor of the gods. With careful preparation, strategy, and understanding of the storyline, this final quest becomes a highlight of the game.
As the Crusader, your role doesn’t end with Umaril’s death. You carry the blessings of the Nine, serve as a beacon of justice, and shape the future of the Order. Whether you're here for the challenge, the lore, or the sense of accomplishment, this questline delivers.
Let your sword serve the Nine, and your legacy live on.
