Tips for Earning Achievements and Trophies in Oblivion Remastered

Achieving 100% Completion

The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered Key Art

To maximize your chances of unlocking all achievements in Oblivion Remastered, it is advisable to complete the main quest while also engaging in significant faction sidequests. One of the advantages of the game is that players can join all major factions, regardless of their chosen class. Even a two-handed fighter can join the Mages Guild and still progress normally.

However, keep in mind that not all achievements can be acquired in a single playthrough without a bit of strategy. During the Shivering Isles main quest, you’ll have to make a critical choice between the Ritual of Dementia and the Ritual of Mania, as only one can be completed for the respective achievement. A good approach is to save your game right before making this decision, allowing you to reload and unlock the other achievement later.

Ultimately, while there’s no shortcut to completing Oblivion’s achievements, embarking on the main quests and major sidequests will naturally provide the highest yield of achievements. Attaining all trophies in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered might not be an easy feat, but following the intended gameplay will allow you to gradually unlock each achievement.
