Thequests of the Dark Brotherhoodusually involve assassinating someone or causing chaos in an otherwise peaceful world ofOblivion Remastered. However, the Assassinated Man quest is a unique one, as it doesn’t require you to eliminate someone, but save them from a burden of debt. You’ll need to stage Francois Motierre’s death in this quest, and later revive him using the antidote to help him escape his debtors. Here’s how to complete this quest.
How to Stage Francois Motierre’s Death in the Assassinated Man Quest
Players can start the Assassinated Man quest aftercompleting the Scheduled for Execution contractby Vincente Valtieri inOblivion Remastered. After accepting the new contract, players will need to meet Motierre at his house in Chorrol. You’ll receive a special weapon coated in poison for this mission called “Languorwine Bade,” and a bottle of antidote.
After arriving at the house,you’ll need to lockpick his door, so make sure you have some beforehand. Inside, a petrified Francois, who’s waiting for the assassin Hides-His-Heart to knock on his door any minute.Simply equip the blade and wait for the right opportunity.
Once the Argonian assassin walks in to talk to Francois, jump in and stab him with the special blade. After the quest update, quickly run out of the house and exit Chorrol. Once the coast is clear, you’ll need to wait 24 hours for Francois' body to betransported to the Undercroft in the Chapel of Stendarr.
Reviving Francois Motierre and Helping Him Escape
Arrive at the Chapel and find Francois' body in the Undercroft, lying on a cold slab of stone. Quickly administer the potion to him, and he’ll spring back to life. Before you go, however, you’ll need totake care of some headless zombiesin the area.
Once the area is clear of any enemies, escort Francois Motierre out of the Chapel and to the Gray Mare Inn. Here, Francois will thank you for coming through on the contract. Now players can head back to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, where they can talk to Vicete toreceive the Sanctuary Well Key(a shortcut to exit in and out of the area) and the Cruelty’s Heart Amulet. Players will also progress to the Eliminator rank. This will mark the Assassinated Man quest as complete inOblivion Remastered.
