A Guide to Secret Gear in Oblivion Remastered
If you're diving into the remastered version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and heading into the Shivering Isles, there's a treasure trove of unique gear waiting to be uncovered. This guide will walk you through 13 rare weapons and armors, some of which are easy to miss if you're not paying close attention during quests or exploration.
Each item on this list has its own unique method of acquisition—some you’ll earn through side quests, while others may require pickpocketing, puzzle-solving, or timing your actions just right. Whether you're after raw power or obscure artifacts for your collection, this walkthrough has everything you need.
🔪 Charity of Madness – Automatic Quest Reward
You’ll get the Charity of Madness automatically when you start the “Through the Fringe of Madness” quest. Just speak to Sheogorath as soon as you enter the Shivering Isles. There’s no extra step or challenge—this enchanted robe is handed to you early in the expansion and marks the start of your descent into madness.
The robe isn’t particularly powerful, but it’s unique to the DLC and can’t be found again later if lost. Make sure to store it if you plan to swap gear frequently.
🔱Fork of Horripilation – A Unique Enchanted Dagger
You can find the Fork of Horripilation during the “Fork of Heration” quest in Bliss. Talk to Big Head to start the mission, then locate the fork and return it to him. Once the quest is done, you’ll need to pickpocket it back from him to keep it.
This weapon is one of the only items in the game that adds a magical effect (Stunted Magicka) to the player. To remove the stolen item tag, sell it to a fence and buy it back.
💍 Ring of Happiness – A Dark Quest Reward
The Ring of Happiness is obtained during the “Final Resting” quest in Crucible. After meeting a character named Harris, you’ll find he wants to die. Follow him at night near the palace stairs and interact with him again to push him off the edge. After that, check his house to find the ring.
This quest is easy to overlook, and if you miss the chance to push Harris, the ring may be lost. It's a one-time item and serves more as a collectible than a combat asset.
🧪 Amulet of Disintegration, Camming Pants, and Ring of Desiccation – Oddity Collection
These three quirky items are part of “The Coming Storm” quest in Crucible. Here’s how to get them:
-
Ring of Desiccation: Visit the Museum of Oddities and ask for a tour. While the guide is distracted, steal the ring (look for the display with a tiny skull).
-
Camming Pants: Offered by Fimmion in exchange for a sweetroll—or you can kill him to take them.
-
Amulet of Disintegration: Located in nearby ruins. Light three torches to unlock it—but don’t pick them up, just move them.
After finishing the quest, you can buy these items back from Aazda or steal them from her if you're up for it.
📿 Ring of Disrobing – Random Loot with a Purpose
The Ring of Disrobing isn’t tied to a specific quest—it’s found as random loot in containers like coffins and urns, particularly in dungeons such as Brelok. To farm it, create a backup save before entering, loot everything inside, and reload if you don’t find it. Repeat until it drops.
Once you get it, you can donate it to the Museum of Oddities to complete their item collection quest. It’s not the strongest ring but holds value for completionists.
👑 Circlet of Verdure – Help Sickly Bernice
To earn the Circlet of Verdure, complete the quest involving Sickly Bernice in Crucible. She believes she’s cursed and asks you to help her find a cure. The quest involves tracking down ingredients and assisting her in overcoming her illness.
Once the quest is completed, she rewards you with the circlet. While not heavily enchanted, it's one of the unique wearable items exclusive to the Shivering Isles content.
🌘 Dawnfang, Duskfang & the Talisman of Abetment – Shape-Shifting Weaponry
After finishing the “Baiting the Trap” main quest, which follows “The Better Mousetrap,” you’ll be rewarded with two unique items: Dawnfang/Duskfang and the Talisman of Abetment. These don’t require special effort—just complete the quest and collect them from the reward chest.
Dawnfang transforms into Duskfang at night, making it one of the most iconic weapons in the Shivering Isles. The Talisman of Abetment enhances combat abilities and is also exclusive to this mission line.
⚔️ Nelrene’s Ceremonial Shortsword & Ruin’s Edge – Paranoia Quest Rewards
These items are tied to the “The Lady of Paranoia” main quest. You’ll need to investigate who’s plotting to kill the Duchess. Start by interrogating her steward, then follow clues pointing to Anya Herrick and Mazada. Torture different characters to collect information—eventually, Sickly Bernice reveals a secret meeting with Nelrene.
After eavesdropping and confronting her Mazada is later found murdered. Search his room to find Nelrene’s Ceremonial Shortsword. Finish the quest and report to the Duchess to receive Ruin’s Edge, a powerful and enchantment-randomizing bow. Be careful—this bow is missable if the quest isn't completed correctly.
🧭 Final Thoughts – Complete Your Shivering Isles Collection
Tracking down all 13 of these rare weapons and armors in Oblivion Remastered’s Shivering Isles expansion takes some patience, but the payoff is well worth it. Whether it’s quest rewards like Dawnfang, hidden oddities like the Ring of Disrobing, or quest-tied armor like Charity of Madness, each item adds depth and lore to your adventure.
Some items require moral choices, while others depend on timing or exploration. Be sure to make manual saves before branching decisions or dungeon runs—especially for missable rewards like Ruin’s Edge. With this guide, you’ll have all the tools needed to finish your collection.
