How To Get Early Water-Breathing Enchanted Ring In Oblivion Remastered
Just after crossing the door that leads outside of the Imperial Prison Sewers, players should open their maps and look southwest for the bridge that crosses theImperial City’sLake Rumare. Just above its name on the map, there’s a small settlement calledWeye, and players need to go there and talk to Aelwin to start the quest ‘Go Fish’to get the enchanted ringas a reward.
Aelwin will tell players that after years of being a fisherman, his retirement plans are at risk of being cut short due to the attack of a ferocious Slaugtherfish. He will ask the players to complete a task for him that involves killing12 Rumare Slaughterfishand getting theirscales.
This quest can be completedas early as Level 1, so just getting outside of the Imperial Prison after Emperor Septim is murdered, players can go and complete this quest, which will reward them witha ring that empowers Athleticsand grants Water-Breathing: TheJewel of the Rumare.
How To Complete Go Fish In Oblivion Remastered
To complete Go Fish and earn the Jewel of the Rumare, players need to follow the quest marker and examine the surface of the water for small splashes, which indicate the presence of Slaughterfish in the area. Once they have detected it, simply by approaching the shore, the fish will go frenzied and attempt to attack them.
The Slaughterfish players need to kill are spread around Lake Rumare’s shores, and sometimes even in the middle of the lake, so some swimming and diving are bound to happen. When players need to delve deeper to attract the attention of the fish, they should carry a melee weapon like a dagger, as it is not possible to fight using spells and bows underwater.
Besidesrunning, jumping, and dodging,swimminganddivingare two traversal mechanics that players will be using from time to time to enter certain hidden spots in Cyrodiil. For example, to complete the Crusaders of the Nine quest, they will need to dive into the depths of a sunk Ayleid ruin, and not being able to breathe underwater might be an issue for them. So theJewel of the Rumarewill become quite handy during their adventure.
Remember to collect the scales from the fish each time they are killed, andmind the meterthat appears in the middle of the screen when diving, sinceif it depletes, itwill kill playersat an absurdly fast rate.
After getting all 12 Slaughterfish scales, go back to Aelwin, and he will be so overjoyed that he is willing to part with a preciousring worth 2550 goldright out of the blue. So, if players are not interested in the Underwater Breathing feature of the ring, they at least have a valuable asset to sell at their earliest convenience.
