Oblivion talk:The Sword of the Crusader

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

There's actually no need to equip the sword: just head to the chapel in Cheydinhal, fight the aurorans with any other weapon you have, then click the altar and you'll have the non-cursed version of the sword appearing in your inventory.

[edit] Possible mod conflicts

There's a chance if you have certain mods installed (maybe Obscuro's Oblivion Overhaul?) that you will be unable to consecrate it at the altar in Cheydinhal. I've had this happen to me twice now, but I don't know which mod is causing the issue. To fix it, you'll want to create a new save point, open the console and type "sqt" (without the double-quotes). You should see "GetStage >> 70.00", if so, go ahead and enter "player.SetStage ND08 80" which will consecrate the Sword of the Crusader. I'd suggest creating a 2nd permanent save point after using this command (although it has always worked for me, you have been warned). Snabbik 19:47, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Glitch

Ok, so I went to Underpall Cave, killed Sir Berich and took the sword. But when I go to Cheydinhal Chapel, I can't find Ohtesse or Errandil's corpses, and Kinther doesn't replace Ohtesse after I beat the quest line. Has this happened to anyone else? Aldage 18:48, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

It is very possible for Ohtesse and Errandil's corpses to be missing: if they are not killed during the attack, then they are disabled, which means that they will just disappear. Kinther should appear after Umaril the Unfeathered is complete, regardless of Ohtesse's fate. --Nephele^Talk 13:18, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Blood Writing

Just wondering what the blood says around the altar, if it means anything that is. --Dark Adro 01:43, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

It's the same as the writing that appears around the altar in Anvil, which the Prophet tells you translate to "by the eternal power of Umaril, the mortal gods shall be cast down". The writing is also mentioned at Dwemer Alphabet. --Nephele^Talk 02:19, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Going in to the cave before the quest

What happens if you go into the cave before you start the quest?99.237.148.26 15:28, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Lathon disappeared on me

we got to the cave and I went inside and he didn't follow, so I went back outside and he was getting off his horse. He took a step toward me, I reentered the cave, and he still didn't follow, and when I went outside he was gone.

[edit] Fayth Noor

In Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, I'm pretty sure the boss necromancer Fayth Noor is in the Underpall Reflecting Chamber, possibly the same place where you fight the wraith for this quest. This means characters who haven't been in Underpall and defeated Noor before will be facing TWO major bosses. Maybe the article should warn readers about this since so many people have OOO. 68.13.72.138 18:34, 16 July 2008 (EDT)OddRobb749

This is true, and OOO players are warned about it (those that bother to read the manual, at least ;) ). We don't tend to mention mods in the location and quest pages here, though. --Gaebrial 03:25, 17 July 2008 (EDT)
