How to Start the Boethiah Shrine Quest in Oblivion Remastered
To get this adventure going, you'll first need to hit level 20. That’s a non-negotiable requirement to interact with Boethiah’s shrine. Along with that, make sure you bring a Daedra Heart — you can usually find one for sale at the Gilded Carafe in the Imperial City Market District.
Once you're geared up and ready, head east of the Imperial City to locate Boethia’s shrine. After you offer the Daedra Heart, the quest “Boethiah’s Challenge” will activate, leading you to one of the most loot-rich areas in Oblivion Remastered.
Key Takeaway:
You need to be level 20 and bring a Daedra Heart to Boethia’s shrine to start this loot-filled quest.
What to Expect from Boethiah’s Realm
Once the quest kicks off, you’ll be transported into Boethiah’s Oblivion realm, where things get wild fast. You’re basically dropped into a gauntlet-style zone filled with heavily armed and armored enemies, each guarding serious loot.
Before you head through the first gate, make sure you do the following:
-
Save your game.
-
Clear out your inventory.
-
Bring repair hammers or potions.
This isn’t a quick run — you’ll fight several mini-bosses, each loaded with enchanted weapons, armor, and arrows. It's easy to get overwhelmed or miss great loot if you're unprepared.
Tip: Clear inventory space and save before starting. Every enemy carries rare gear — don’t miss out.
Gate 1: The Archer With Magic Arrows
The first enemy you’ll face steps out armed with a bow and a melee sword. But it’s those arrows you want — magically enchanted and in huge numbers. Make sure to loot everything off him, especially if you’re running an archer build.
-
Loot Highlights:
-
Magic arrows (several types)
-
Basic enchanted sword
-
Light armor pieces
-
Even if you don’t use a bow much, these arrows can be sold for good gold or saved for tougher fights later on.
Gate 2: The Mage and His Warhammer
Once you’re through the next gate, get ready for a mage encounter. He’s armed with a magic staff and casts decent spells but nothing overwhelming. However, he drops two notable items:
-
Loot Highlights:
-
Basic magic staff (reusable in early fights)
-
Daedric Warhammer (very high damage but extremely heavy)
-
Pro Tip: Only carry the Daedric Warhammer if you’ve got the strength. It’s powerful but takes up a lot of inventory space.
Gate 3: The Enchanted Sword Duelist
Moving through the next gate brings you to a tougher foe. This one uses both magic and a powerful enchanted sword. He’ll also summon help during the fight, so be on your toes.
-
Loot Highlights:
-
Daedric Warhammer
-
Daedric Boots
-
Daedric Cuirass
-
At this point, you're starting to build a solid set of Daedric armor, so make sure your inventory is ready to handle the weight. Save your progress again after this fight to avoid any setbacks.
Gate 4: Glass Armor & the Battle Axe of Inferno
The next enemy charges in aggressively. He’s holding a Daedric Warhammer, but what makes him stand out is his glass armor set and a unique weapon — the Battle Axe of Inferno. This axe deals fire damage on strike, making it a deadly choice for melee characters.
-
Loot Highlights:
-
Glass armor set (including shield)
-
Battle Axe of Inferno (unique fire damage weapon)
-
You might need to drop or sell less valuable gear at this point, because this axe alone is worth keeping for the long haul.
Gate 5: Pit Viper Gear and the Shield Bearer
Things start getting trickier here. This enemy uses devastating magic attacks and carries a shield, which lets him block a lot of incoming damage. But if you’re prepared, you’ll get some of the best gear yet.
-
Loot Highlights:
-
Daedric Shield
-
Curass of the Pit Viper (unique Daedric chest piece)
-
Daedric Boots
-
Daedric Longsword
-
This is one of the best loot drops in the quest. The Curass of the Pit Viper is especially valuable for its high defense and unique effects. If you're close to over-encumbered, this is where you might want to exit temporarily and offload.
Gate 6: Nearly Full Daedric Armor Set + Claymore of Disintegration
As you go through the next gate, you’ll encounter an opponent who’s not much of a challenge. However, he’s loaded with gear.
-
Loot Highlights:
-
Daedric Helmet
-
Daedric Cuirass
-
Daedric Boots
-
Claymore of Disintegration (massive weapon with armor-breaking effects)
-
With this enemy down, you're almost holding a complete Daedric armor set. The Claymore of Disintegration is also a solid reward — perfect for softening up enemies by reducing their gear durability.
Gate 7: The Chosen One and Ebony War Axe
The next enemy, known as The Chosen One, is tougher than most. He rushes in fast, wielding a powerful weapon and wearing a sleek set of glass armor.
-
Loot Highlights:
-
Ebony War Axe (unique and powerful)
-
Multiple pieces of Glass Armor
-
This guy is worth taking down quickly before he can overwhelm you. The Ebony War Axe hits hard and is an excellent pickup for axe users.
Gate 8: Final Ambush and the Daedric Bow
As you approach the final gates, there’s one more threat. Head up the rocks nearby and sneak around for a better angle — you might be able to land a few hits before he switches from his Daedric Bow to a melee weapon.
-
Loot Highlights:
-
Daedric Bow (applies poison damage on hit)
-
A ton of enchanted arrows
-
This is a perfect reward for stealth-based or ranged characters. The poison effect on the bow makes it especially deadly.
Final Gate: Claiming the Goldbrand
After clearing the enemies, head through the last portal. At this point, the game gives you a final warning: collect all the loot now, or it will be gone forever.
When you step through and finish the quest, speak to Boethiah’s shrine to receive your ultimate reward: Goldbrand.
-
Goldbrand Stats:
-
Deals fire damage on strike
-
Fast swing speed and high durability
-
One of the best one-handed swords in the game
-
Wrapping It Up
If you've followed each step, you should now be walking away with:
-
A nearly full set of Daedric Armor
-
Unique items like:
-
Goldbrand
-
Claymore of Disintegration
-
Battle Axe of Inferno
-
Curass of the Pit Viper
-
Ebony War Axe
-
Daedric Bow
-
