In the world ofThe Elder Scrolls,Skooma is a highly addictive drugrefined from Moon Sugar. It’s one of the most infamous items in the series because of the powerful effects it can grant, but it’s also one of the few items that are considered illegal in most of the games in the series.
InOblivion Remastered, Skooma provides huge physical benefits at the cost of other stats. Though it is also required by some quests, such as “The Lonely Wanderer”,you can consume this special potionto gain these effects temporarily. This guide explains what effects of Skooma are when consumed and suggests locations where you can find more Skooma inOblivion Remastered.
Oblivion Remastered Skooma Effects
What Happens If You Drink Skooma?
InOblivion Remastered,Skooma effects remain unchanged from the original 2006 version ofOblivion. Skooma is an illegal substance inOblivion Remastered, and will be confiscated from your inventory if you are arrested by a Guard.
You can’t drink multiple Skooma to stack its effects and fly into the sky like inMorrowind, nor will you simply restore Stamina like inSkyrim. Instead, theOblivion Remasteredversion of Skooma is somewhere in between, and grants incredible Strength and Speed at the cost of your Agility and Intelligence.
After drinking Skooma,Oblivion Remasteredplayers will suddenly become incredibly fast, deal significantly more damage with melee weapons, but will lose a significant chunk of theirAgility and Intelligence Attributes, hampering ranged, stealth, and magic playstyles.
Plus, like in the original game, Skooma effects stack when you consume multiple Skooma at the same time inOblivion Remastered. Despite it being well-known as an incredibly addictive substance in the game’s lore (just look at what it did to Faelian in the “The Lonely Wanderer” Dark Brotherhood quest), players cannot become addicted to Skooma inOblivion Remastered.
Where To Find Skooma In Oblivion Remastered
There are two ways you can get Skooma inOblivion Remastered: purchase Skooma from a Skooma Vendor, or find Skooma out in the world. Because Skooma is an illegal substance, Guards will always confiscate it from your inventory, whether it has the Stolen flag or not.
So, if you see some Skooma and no-one else is around, it doesn’t really matter if you steal it or not – just don’t get caught. But if you want to be more careful, find a Skooma vendor out in the world, of which there are two.
Oblivion Remastered Skooma Locations
InObliivon Remastered, Skooma looks like a small purple potion bottle, shorter than most other potions in the game. Look carefully for these small purple bottles out in the open in hidden areas (like basements) and dungeons, or contained within locked chests in homes and shops.
There are dozens of Skooma locations inOblivion Remastered, but unfortunately, none of them respawn. Once you have found a Skooma location and pick it up, it will never re-appear, even it it was inside of a container.
These five Skooma locations are relatively easy to find early in the game, typically as part of major quests and faction quests that will lead you to their locations:
