Oblivion Remastered Guide: Unlocking 100% Reflect Magic + Damage ~ HaploGamingChef

Introduction: Building a God Mode Character with 100% Reflect Magic & Damage in Oblivion Remastered

If you're playing Oblivion Remastered and want to build a character that feels truly unbeatable, this guide is for you. By assembling the right combination of gear, you can achieve 100% Reflect Damage and 100% Reflect Magic, making your character nearly invincible. You won’t need to swing a weapon — enemies hurt themselves just by attacking you.

This setup is widely considered the most overpowered build in Oblivion, and while it takes some effort to gather all the necessary equipment, the payoff is immense. Whether you're fighting mages, warriors, or Daedric beasts, this god mode build turns every battle into a self-defeating struggle for your enemies.

We’ll walk you through everything — from the required loot farming locations to key questlines, with tips tailored for efficiency. Whether you’re new to the game or returning for a powerful playthrough, this guide will help you unlock one of the most satisfying character builds in the Elder Scrolls universe.

Step 1: Understanding the Reflect Build Requirements

To activate true god mode in Oblivion Remastered, your goal is to stack items that offer Reflect Damage and Reflect Magic until both reach 100%. When you reach these caps, every spell or melee attack from enemies bounces back, dealing full damage to them instead of you. While you can start working on this build around level 20, the full potential (especially for higher enchantment values) is unlocked at level 25. That’s because gear scaling is tied to your character’s level — higher levels mean stronger enchantment percentages.

A good example is the Shield of Coral (Scutchion of Coral). If you collect it at level 20, you might get 30% Reflect Damage. But if you wait until level 25, that number jumps to 35%. That 5% can make a difference in fine-tuning your gear combination. Keep in mind that once you've picked up a leveled item, its stats are locked in. So it's crucial to wait until the optimal level, or you may need to reset progress using older saves.

Step 2: What Gear You Need for 100% Reflect Damage & Magic

To hit the reflect caps, you’ll need a total of seven specific items. These are a mix of rings, amulets, shields, and armor pieces. Below is the ideal combination for most players:

Amulet of Axes or Necklace of Swords (Reflect Damage)
Scutchion of Coral (Shield with Reflect Damage)
Raiment of the Crimson Scar (Armor with Reflect Damage)
Mundane Ring (Reflect Magic)
Ayleid Crown of Nenalata (Reflect Magic)
Ring of Sunfire (Reflect Magic)
Ring of Iron Fist (Reflect Damage — optional if you're a Breton)

If you’re playing as a Breton, you start with a built-in 50% magic reflection. This gives you more flexibility in your gear setup — for example, you can skip the Ring of Sunfire and equip the Ring of Iron Fist instead, which lets you reclaim an armor or shield slot for more versatility.

Step 3: Loot Farming for Rings and Amulets

Some of the reflect gear isn't tied to quests — instead, they appear randomly as enchanted loot in dungeons. The best strategy is loot farming, and the top place for this is Robber’s Glen Cave. At level 20 or higher, every chest you open has a small chance (around 10%) to spawn a rare enchanted item like the Mundane Ring, Ring of Iron Fist, or Amulet of Axes.

To farm efficiently, create a backup save outside the cave, then enter and loot all the chests. If you don’t find what you want, reload the save and repeat. Each run only takes a few minutes, and while the process is random, it’s very doable with some patience. You might get duplicates, so be ready to try multiple times — it took some players over an hour to find both rings. Once you get an item you want, exit the cave, wait three in-game days, and go back to restart the process.

Step 4: Extra Farming Locations for Guaranteed Drops

Besides Robber’s Glen Cave, another helpful spot is the pirate ship in Anvil. The first time you enter the ship, a chest inside contains a guaranteed enchanted item. Make a save before opening the chest so you can reload until you get a useful item like the Amulet of Axes. Keep in mind: this chest doesn’t respawn — it’s a one-time opportunity.

Another option is Earil’s Mysteries in the Shivering Isles. You can loot his inventory like you would a dungeon chest. Save outside, check what he’s selling, then reload if needed. The inventory refreshes every few in-game days, so if it seems stuck, wait 24 in-game hours after reloading. This method can be glitchy but is effective — and it's how many players score hard-to-find items like the Mundane Ring.

Step 5: Earning the Scutchion of Coral and Raiment of the Crimson Scar

Two of the essential reflect damage items come from quests. First up is the Scutchion of Coral, a shield rewarded from the "Sins of the Father" quest. To start this quest, complete the "Separated at Birth" and "Legacy Lost" quests in Chorrol. During the mission, you’ll retrieve the Honorblade of Chorrol. To get the shield, you must return this blade to the castle’s royalty instead of keeping it. Doing so earns you the Scutchion of Coral, which contributes significantly to your reflect damage total.

Next is the Raiment of the Crimson Scar, a piece of armor located in Deep Scorn Hollow. This requires you to own the player home DLC or expansion. Once you’ve purchased all the available upgrades for Deep Scorn Hollow, the armor appears inside a container in the bedroom. It’s a simple pickup, but the requirement to fully upgrade the home can take a bit of time and gold. Once equipped, the Raiment helps push your reflect damage stat much closer to 100%.

Step 6: Securing the Ring of Sunfire and the Mundane Ring

The Ring of Sunfire is earned during the "Order of the Virtuous Blood" quest, which begins in the Imperial City. As you progress, you’ll eventually have to decide whether to help or betray a character named Roland. To receive the ring, simply side with Roland and complete the quest. He’ll reward you with the Ring of Sunfire — a valuable piece for building reflect magic.

Now, the Mundane Ring is trickier. It’s available in random loot pools, as mentioned earlier, or can be obtained guaranteed during the main quest. If you’re level 22 or higher and haven’t completed the mission where you accompany Baurus into the sewers to meet the Mythic Dawn contact, you’re in luck. That enemy always drops a leveled ring — and at level 22+, it’s guaranteed to be the Mundane Ring. This is the easiest way to secure it if you’ve delayed the main quest long enough.

Step 7: Completing the Ayleid Crown of Nenalata Questline

The final major item — the Ayleid Crown of Nenalata — takes the most effort. To obtain it, you’ll need to complete a questline that begins with finding 10 Ayleid Statues scattered throughout Cyrodiil. After locating all statues, sell one to any merchant. Within a few days, an NPC named Umbacano will approach you and start the quest “The Collector.”

Follow this questline as it branches into several parts:

"The Collector" – Sell all 10 statues to Umbacano.
"Nothing You Can Possess" – Retrieve a mural for him.
"Secrets of the Ayleids" – Your final task is to find either the real Crown of Nenalata or a fake version from Lindai.

Choose to get the real crown from Herina’s house, and give it to Umbacano. Later, you’ll meet him at the ruins. After entering the secret throne room, he’ll betray you. Defeat him in battle, and reclaim the Ayleid Crown of Nenalata — now fully upgraded and ready for use in your reflect build.

Step 8: Optimizing Your Gear Loadout (Race Bonus Tips)

Once you have all the gear, it's time to equip your best combo. If you're not a Breton, you’ll need every item mentioned earlier to reach 100% for both reflect magic and damage. But if you are a Breton, you already start with 50% Reflect Magic as a racial trait. That lets you skip one of the magic reflect items — typically the Ring of Sunfire — and instead use something like the Ring of Iron Fist to add to your reflect damage stat.

This flexibility allows Bretons to build a more balanced or utility-focused loadout. You could use the free gear slot for a fortify stat ring, extra resistance, or any custom-enchanted gear that suits your playstyle. This makes Breton the top pick for players aiming to min-max their god mode build with the fewest compromises.

Step 9: Limitations and Final Gear Check

While a 100% Reflect Damage and Magic build makes you nearly invulnerable, it’s important to know its limitations. You can still take damage from:

Environmental traps (spikes, falling logs, etc.)
Archer attacks (bows aren't always reflected)
Diseases and poison effects

This setup is also gear-dependent, so unequipping or replacing any item can bring your reflect percentages below 100%, making you vulnerable again. Always double-check your active effects menu to confirm you're getting full reflect bonuses from each item. In some rare cases, enchantment stacking might not apply if two items conflict — re-equip to refresh their effects if needed.

Step 10: Summary Checklist of Required Items

Here’s a quick checklist of what you'll need for the full god mode build:

✅ Amulet of Axes or Necklace of Swords
✅ Scutchion of Coral (Shield)
✅ Raiment of the Crimson Scar (Armor)
✅ Mundane Ring
✅ Ayleid Crown of Nenalata
✅ Ring of Sunfire
✅ Ring of Iron Fist (optional for Bretons)

Make sure you’re level 25 to get the highest stat versions of each item. With this full set equipped, enemy magic and melee attacks will bounce right back, tearing them apart in seconds — while you stand untouched.

Conclusion: Become Unstoppable with the Ultimate Reflect Build in Oblivion

With all the right gear in place, your God Mode build in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is complete. Reflecting 100% of both magic and physical damage, you’ll barely need to swing your weapon — enemies will eliminate themselves trying to hurt you.

To recap:

Farm the correct rings and amulets in Robber’s Glen Cave or Anvil’s pirate ship chest.
Use quest rewards like the Scutchion of Coral and Raiment of the Crimson Scar.
Complete multi-stage quests to secure the Mundane Ring and Ayleid Crown of Nenalata.
Optimize your loadout depending on your race — Bretons get added flexibility thanks to their built-in magic resistance.

This build is ideal for high-level characters looking to dominate endgame content, complete difficult quests, or just enjoy a fun, nearly invincible playthrough.
