AnotherDaedric Prince demandsthe aid of the player inOblivion Remastered, and Malacath is one such prince that should not be denied his request. This God of the Orsimer sees orcs and ogres as his property, and when someone else has used them as slaves, he’s not too happy. Less so for the slave part, but more so because they’re his and his alone.
It’s time to seek out Malacath’s Shrine and do his bidding so that players can get Volendrung, a powerful two-handed and blunt weapon inOblivion Remasteredthat can crush skulls, bash bones, and simply act as a powerful Dwemer hammer that embodies so much bitter hate and power.
How to Find Malacath’s Shrine in Oblivion Remastered
Malacath’s Shrine can be found directly north of Anvil, just before the Brena River. However, to actually start the mission, players must be Level 10. To start, speak with Shobob gro-Rugdush, who will require adisposition of 50+to start the quest. This can be easily achieved by using the Persuasion Wheel and focusing on topics he likes to raise the stat. Alternatively, players can make their race an Orc, where they will instantly like the player.
With Malacath’s Shrine located and the appropriate level attained, players must now seek out the offering they need, which is Troll Fat.
How to Get Troll Fat in Oblivion Remastered
Troll Fat is dropped by a variety of Trolls found across Cyrodiil, and a common place to find Troll Fat will be on the corpses of slain Trolls found in Veyond, a large Ayleid Ruin that can be found in the northeast region of Leyawiin. Troll Fat can also be purchased from most ingredient vendors after Level 9, so the easiest way to get Troll Fat is to purchase it from The Main Ingredient in the Imperial City’s Market District. Upon obtaining one Troll Fat, head to the Malacath Shrine and interact with the altar to sacrifice the ritual item and hear Malacath speak of a quest.
How to Free the Ogre Slaves at Lord Drag’s Estate in Oblivion Remastered
Where to Find the Ogre Slaves at Lord Drag’s Estate
With instructions from Malacath, head south across the Gold Coast to find Lord Drad’s Estate, where players can enter the manor stationed by the fields to speak with Lord Drag. If players ask Lord Drag about the Ogre Slaves and then select the option: I admire your efforts, then they will receive the location of the Ogre Slaves themselves. The Ogre Slaves can be found at Bleak Mine, just a short walk east of Lord Drag’s Estate. However, if playersdo not like lockpicking, they can pick up the Bleak Mine Key on a table inside Lord Drag’s Estate on the ground floor.
Before entering Bleak Mine, leave your horse stationed far away from Lord Drag’s Estate, as the Ogres are hostile towards animals and will attempt to kill the horse. Players cannot kill the Ogres, as turning them hostile will fail Malacath’s quest.
Head east to the Bleak Mine, and use either the key or lockpicking to open the door. Once inside, players are going to have to be cautious, as plenty of guards will become hostile since the player is trespassing. The best way to free the ogre slaves in Bleak Mine is to kill one of the guards and loot their body for one of two keys:
Players are going to want to open the cells as fast as possible so that the Ogres will become allies and begin to attack the guards. The Ogres are always hostile to the guards, so there’s no pointusing stealth, as a non-lethal approach is not possible. Once the guards are dead and the ogres are freed, head back to Malacath for the reward.
How to Get Volendrung in Oblivion Remastered
Now that players have successfully freed the Ogres (it does not matter if they survived), they can head back to Malacath’s Shrine, where, upon speaking to the altar, they will receive their praise. After freeing the Orcs, players will be rewarded with the two-handed blunt warhammer, Volendrung. As a two-handed blunt warhammer, Volendrung has a pretty powerful yet slow swing. Volendrung also has some neat effects, as it’s anenchanted weaponthat comes with the following two perks:
