• Is he Really in the Allies for Bruma Quest I don't remember having to go to him when I did it before.--Most Honored Listener 00:09, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

Yes, he is involved with the quest. You actually don't have to go to any of the cities--the quest is entirely optional. --Eshe 00:14, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

I realize that but the Countess of Bruma gets upset at you if you try and not get any help and she didn't get upset when I didn't go to Ocato and there wasn't any quest marker that I can recall.--Most Honored Listener 00:28, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

Not only is it an optional quest but talking to Ocato is an optional part of it. If you go to every other ruler and enlist their support, the quest completes even if you've not talked to Ocato. If you do go to talk to him he just tells you he's using every soldier he has (I can't remember the exact phrase) and gives you nothing. --Rpeh^Talk 05:28, 24 July 2007 (EDT)

For interest's sake, his exact words are:

This is terrible news. Under normal circumstances, I would dispatch a legion or two to Bruma immediately.

But the circumstances are not normal, are they?

I've been pleading for troops for Cyrodiil for weeks, but the generals assure me that the entire Imperial Army is already fully committed.

Besides... I'd have a full-scale political crisis on my hands if I tried to pull any troops out of the provinces.

I'm sorry, but the cities of Cyrodiil will have to fend for themselves for the time being.

Ok, this is really bugging me, can anyone be more specific as to where he is?? Am i at the wrong stage in the main quest or something? I've received the allies for Bruma Quest and already recruited the aid of some cities but I can't seem to find Ocato in the imperial palace, i checked the basement, the second floor, the big centre area when u first walk in, and couldn't go past the imperial guard quarters cause it needs a key of some sort..im assuming quest related. Does anyone know where i can find him?? thanks--Piercethetruth 05:51, 25 November 2007 (EST)

If I'm reading this right, he should usually be in the main council chamber area (big round area with all the seats), sitting in the chair closest to the door. He gets up and wanders around a little at about 8pm but should always be somewhere in the area. --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 07:25, 25 November 2007 (EST)

Hmm, am I at the wrong part of the quest or something? He's never there, and the guards say Chancellor Ocato isn't seeing any visitors right now, or something like that. --Piercethetruth 22:37, 29 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] A bit of help on Ocato's whereabouts

When I was doing the "Allies for Bruma" quest, I managed to bump into Ocato walking right past the door into the imperial palace in the middle of the day. I asked for the Legion's aid, but he told me exactly what Saruuk posted. It seems he just wanders around the palace, and it's just a shot in the dark whether or not you can catch him when he's not in a part of the palace that is inaccessible to you. At least not legally accessible. --Mole126 07:03, 09 February 2008 (EST)

All I know is that he was annoying by wandering at the upper levels of the Imperial Palace while I was on the related quest, and that was the only time I ever saw him.

what quest was it? -Eelman

[edit] Ocato on Death Row...

I finished the Main Quest a third time to find that at the end of the final cutscene, Ocato goes around slaughtering guards, Jauffre and Baurus. This is very frustrating as he is invincible and when Hieronymus Lex and him get into a fight it never stops. I would have loved to keep Baurus and Jauffre alive after the Main Quest but Ocato just keeps killing them. I have tried to load earlier saves but there is no way I can change it. --Matthewest ^{•T•C•E•} 04:44, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] No Health for Ocato

I used Command Humanoid lvl 25 for 25 seconds. I had quite a large bounty so the guards fought with him while I sat invisible and when I decided to look at Ocato because he wasn't dying. He had no damage done at all, despite him having fought for nearly half an hour--Drake3555 02:05, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Robe

Is his robe available anywhere else? I want one. Oblivion is lacking cool robes like Morrowind has. --Mebestien 11:59, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

They are Red Silk Robes, and aren't that rare. See the page for locations to find them. --Timenn < talk > 06:44, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
