Oblivion talk:Glitches

If you have a bug to add, please make sure that it is wide spread or has been confirmed as a bug. The article page is continuously undergoing cleanup to remove non-bugs, one-off gaming issues, and issues caused by mods. Feel free to discuss any problems, glitches, or bugs on this talk page before posting to the page. Once your glitch has been submitted and approved there, it can be moved to the main Glitches article.

Quick Editing Reminders :

1. Use correct punctuation and grammar. This makes the articles you write much, much easier to read.
2. Don't use a first person point of view. Remember who your audience is; you're instructing the reader on how to recreate the glitch.
3. If it's not repeatable, don't include it.
4. No attributions (ex: Found by Person).
5. When in doubt, ask a Mentor.

Following this simple advice will help keep others from having to re-write or even remove your work! Happy editing!

Invincibility

If you want to be invincible then follow these steps. First,to be invincible to weapons you will need these items:"the ring of the iron fist",which gives 33% resist and reflect damage, "the amulet of axes" or the "neclace of swords",either one is fine. The last item is the "escutcheon of chorral". In order for this to work you will need to be level 25 or higher. When wearing al l if these items you will have 101% resist and reflect damage In order to be invincible to magic at the same time, you will need these items, the "mudane ring" and one of the sigil stones does a resist magic damage and you can duplicate it 3 times. With this you will also need to be level 25 or higher so the sigil stones will be "translucient" or whatever. After you have them duplicated the sigil stones,enchant your armor with them. I know you are probably wondering where these items are. Well you can find the ring of iron fist,amulet of axes,and the necklace of swords on the blind monk priest in the quest "silvia's stone" for the thieves guild. You can save outside of the shrine door so after you kill the priest you can reload if it wasn't there. The cave and its riches will respon as well.sometimes the items on the priest don't change, if this happens then finish the quest and wait 72 hours for the items to respon. You can find the "mundane ring"on mankar camoran, well its on the big bad guy's brother. to get the "esdutcheon of chorral" you must turn in the "honor blade of chorral" to the count in the quest "sins of the father". have fun being invincible people,and if you are still reading this then you are awesome.--LOKI 22:10, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately you're still vulnerable to arrows, or other forms of ranged attack. I definitely know this from playing as a character with a bounty of about 350000 gold, and you're definitely immune to melee but not from arrows. A high experience in heavy armour and block would probably sort this straight out... :) AcE x EPiiCzZ 14:38, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Get to the end of the game with only paintbrushes

Steps: Get multiple paintbrushes (around 10). The duplication glitch works best. Go to the temple of one in the imperial City. Drop a paintbrush right in front of the temple. Jump on it and repeat this step until yoreach the top. Jump into the temple. You should see a door halfway through the ground. Enter it. You should get a quest that says, "Mehrunes dagon is here!". Wait a few hours for Martin septim. He should talk to you. The quest will finish and the game is beat! Notes: Martin Septim may never show up, making you have to load. If you look at the top of the temple, you will see the cracks and part of Mehrunes claws. If you look at the quest marker when you get their, Martin will be at kvatch at will be running to you.— Unsigned comment by 166.249.133.99 (talk) at 19:45 on 2 August 2012

This is mentioned in the Minor Gltches category already.--Skyrimplayer 02:56, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

   Easyer way to do it is after you get out of the sewers sell all your items then buy 4 scrolls and 3 scrolls that are a different type to each ohter then us the dupe     glitch to dupe the scrolls then dupe the brushs make a spiral stare case up and if u run out go down and make some more when you get to the top fall thru the roof and click on the door mostly underground and keep waiting till Martin comes from kavach then the game will Finnish spoller( and get your statue of your self in burma)

Horse gold glitch

Before you start this you need a horse,and an expensive weapon.(the more expensive the better).Anyways,first you need to wield your expensive weapon. Then mount your horse and fast-travel to Kvach to speak to the orc merchant while still on the horse. Enter the barter screen and sell your expensive weapon and the weapon will not vanish,allowing it to be sold as many times an you want.(However I do not know if this is patched,I don't think it is but it could be).--LOKI 06:17, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Get outside of cheydinhal

First you have to fast travel to castle cheydinhal. Then turn left and walk to the other side of the little garden to the stairs on the other side. There should be a large rock to your right that is in front of a thinner portion of the wall. Jump up on the rock and go through the wall and the castle should be partialy invisible. Go to the portion that is directly accross from you that is thinner and go through it. You should be outside and be able to go anywhere in the world.

If you memorize where the wall you came out from is then you can get inside without using the gate. — Unsigned comment by 71.227.140.156 (talk) at 21:01 on 20 August 2012

Only one out of five stolen food items is marked stolen

When stealing from a Sack that has and restocks five of the same food item (for example Rice and Flour), clicking the item and taking all five at the same time, only one of them will be marked as stolen. The only ways around this are to take them one at a time or selecting ‘Take All’. — Unsigned comment by 71.61.54.129 (talk) at 00:41 on 27 August 2012

How to get the Grey Aegis

If you do this right then you will get the Grey Aegis from the Grey Prince in the arena. First you need to let him break his sword on you so he pits his sword and shield away. Then kill him and revive him with the Staff of worms. Duplicate him with the Skull of corruption, kill the clone, line the clones dead body up so you can access his inventory and quickly save. Load the saved game and repeatedly tap "open" until the clone s inventory becomes available.--LOKI (talk) 03:22, 18 September 2012 (GMT)

Duplication Glitch Xbox360 and PS3

I noticed that when I have two of the same type of spell scroll, I was able to double tap it- causing whatever item i dropped to double. When I had three of the same type of item, it would drop three of this item. I wasn't sure if it was my console, or if it was happening to my friends too, so they tried it too. They all had the same result as me. I found that in order for the glitch to work, the item you are dropping must be at 100% condition, and the item cannot be stolen. I tried seeing how powerful the glitch was by using 300 fire-bolt scrolls. The result: 300 duplicated items. I have all of the updates and patches, as I am writing this September 23, 2012. — Unsigned comment by 24.251.14.6 (talk) at 02:14 on 24 September 2012

After leaving i got excepted to 2 guilds, thief and dark brotherhood(i was already a mages guild one.). when i did i headed off to a town where i put myself in the sunken ones quest. then i was put in a hunting groun by a orc.i did that and got glitched becouse I took the keys but it still says find a way out. anyway i got to a quest where i have to steal a ring from a dutchess and i was told to talk to someone at 8 at the castle kitchen. she never showed so i followed her marker. I found her dead with her horse tothe side. i took her keys but the quest stil tells me to talk to her.

XBOX360 flying bush glitch

This is more than a discovery than a glich. i was running around near the edge of the map and i noticed a bush tha was 8ft of the ground. It was near a broken shrine with a pond with a treasure chest in it. — Unsigned comment by 69.19.14.24 (talk) at 19:07 on 30 September 2012

Super Character

This trick requires access to Arcane University, a Chameleon spell, two rings, a necklace or amulet, a helmet and a shield, five Grand Soul Gems with Grand Souls in them, and 8,000 gold. Once you're done with buying them, go to the Chironasium, the enchanting section in Arcane University. Enchant the necklace, rings, and armor with a Chameleon spell using the Grand Soul Gems, at the appropriate enchant stand. You should have five enchantments, each giving you 20% Chameleon effect. Chameleon is better than invisibility since it will allow you to attack, steal, open, and pick-up without being revealed. From now on, you can steal from a shop with the shopkeepers doing nothing. Enemies will be unable to attack you, allowing you to go into Sneak mode and backstab for multiplied 4x to 6x damage, not to mention pickpocket without consequences. Guards will still catch you if you fain, but will be unable to deal damage while you're resisting arrest.--LOKI (talk) 18:26, 11 November 2012 (GMT)

Ghost Mode

First, take shadowmere to any relatively steep hill along with stormcall arrows and any kind of bow. Park shadowmere on the hill and shoot her with your stormcall arrows until she is unconcious(feel free to experiment but stormcall arrows are the only things that seem to work to my knowlege). Run up to shadowmere while she is unconcious and point your cursor directly at her. Wait a few seconds and you should see "search shadowmere" change to "ride shadowmere". Mount her when this appears and then dismount. Afterwards you will notice that you are free of of most in-game physics, including gravity. Walk up any hill and try to walk back down... You can't! You remain suspended in mid-air. To put yourself back on the ground simply fast travel anywhere. To reverse the glitch mount a horse of any kind.--LOKI (talk) 18:23, 11 November 2012 (GMT)

Random Black Horse Courier "ghost"

I was playing the PS3: Game of the Year Edition version of Oblivion, while doing the Anvil recommendation quest for the Mage's Guild. I slept the night at the Inn there, and I went to set off for the supposed rogue.

Not far from the Inn, I found a horse with no rider. It was a BHC horsewoman, and when I talked to her it said to talk to the black horse. From there, it zoomed in on a bit of landscape; I got the newspaper, but it was odd. ??? Bertmern (talk) 04:31, 21 January 2013 (GMT)

Crash when close?

I finally loaded Oblivion on my PC, after my PS3 borked the saves. Everything was fine the first few days, but now, every time I close the game out, it closes, but Windows says that Oblivion stopped working. It also locks the mouse somewhere, so the only thing I can do is shut the computer down with the power button. I am running Windows 7 on a P4 3.0 GHz Hyperthreaded, 1.5 GB RAM, ATI Radeon X1600 series, Creative Audigy SE sound. I have unloaded every mod except the unofficial patch. Any ideas?

Shivering Isles Glitch

On oblivion in the shivering ilse there was a big unexpecded fight where the golden saints, some citizens began chasing big head then theykilled him when we hadn't even done his quest yet and it kinda effects my playing time if I ever need to do it. What shall I do? (10/4/13) — Unsigned comment by 86.128.57.52 (talk) at 09:50 on 10 April 2013
