[edit] Fun With The Staff

If you can get a large group of people in a small location to start fighting the Staff will turn it into DVR television. You can basically watch a battle frame by frame and it's actually quite funny when projectiles get involved such an archer shooting an arrow the arrow will freeze in the air. I've yet to see if you can grab it. I also assume works with magic castings. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheBoogeyman209 (talk • contribs) on 3 July 2007.}

[edit] Sanguine's Daedric Quest

As far as I understand from reading of this staff's abilities, could this be used for Sanguine's quest? Or does the spell used count as "hitting" the character, and so, not work? ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pridds (talk • contribs) on 22 July 2007.}

On Sanguine's quest, you have to use the spell Sanguine gives you. --Oblivion nerd 01:18, 13 December 2008 (EST)

[edit] Freezings

When you fire the Staff, do NPCs that are dying freeze as well? (If someone is killed just as they freeze, do you see the body floating in midair, as it falls?) ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Merco (talk • contribs) on 15 August 2007.}

[edit] Note

Should it be noted that the characters you wish to freeze need to be combat ready (ie. battle music going off, and they're charging at you)? Right now it isn't. Shadownet Ninja 23:48, 25 August 2007 (EDT)

Might be helpful if that were mentioned. I just completed the Symbols of Office quest for the first time (I didn't get Shivering until very recently) and was playing around with the staff before going out to beat the tar out of Jyggalag and was wondering why it wasn't using Sheogorath's voice to yell anything and wasn't actually freezing anyone. I guess now I know it was because Dark Seducers and Golden Saints patrolling the palace don't count because they're passive. Haha. --Skogul 04:20, 30 September 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Creatures?

Does the staff affect creaatures? --Merco 12:23, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

It certainly does affect creatures. --Mankar Camoran 13:04, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Range?

What is the effective range of the Staff? --Merco 05:29, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

It's range is 75ft. I'll add it to the article. --Mankar Camoran 09:12, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Daedric Artifact?

Since Sheogorath is the Daedric Prince of Madness, then his staff should be considered a Daedric Artifact. So it raises the question why it cant be given to Martin in the Blood of the Daedra quest, sure this would not be the smartest thing to do but non the less should technically be possible. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jim 909 (talk • contribs) on 20 February 2008.}

Considering the fact that the shivering isles was created long after the the main oblivion storyline was written and programmed, it is understandable that the developers did not bother adding it as a daedric artifact, also sean bean might get a bit irritated having to come back to voice one line!

[edit] The Voice

Shouldn't the article say that Jygallag's voice says HOLD, and RELEASE? That's who's voice it sounds like. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Merco (talk • contribs) on 24 February 2008.}

They are both the same person, but it does sound like the Jygallag part of him saying it. Consider it added. 77BeTa77 14:40, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

[edit] shrine of sheogorath

does anyone know what happens if you visit the shrine of sheogorath after becoming sheogorath? I had already done all the daedric quests before installing the expansion and dont really want to start from scratch just to see what happens. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.228.59.231 (talk • contribs) on 23 April 2008.}

The quest stays the same, but the dialogue differs. Check out the Sheogorath's quest page for all the details. --Timenn < talk > 14:40, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Bugs

I used it at Fort Sutch, for the undocumented quest "Attack on Fort Sutch" Since there is close to zero chance for the Imperial Army to live through 10+ Xyvlai, 3+ Spider Daedra, Storm Atronach, Daedroth and Dremora Valkynaz at level 40, I used the staff, enter the gate, before I heard the "Release" then came back within 5 mins, found 1 Imperial Soldier alive who thanked me. Ok, it seemed as though I had accomplished the mission with zero casualties. But no...Everyone except that one ordinary soldier was still unconcious. And weirdest thing of all, the rest of the soldiers no longer had their helms on, and were all bald headed... And There was 1 Dremora Valkynaz still alive but also unconcious. Reloading the game, leaving the area didn't help. And the staff is no longer functional.

The same thing happened to me with Wabbajak but on 360. I used it at Water's Edge during FG quest Inflitration and the Sheep that turned into a Troll killed the resident and when I exited the house; was transported to Chorrol. The Wabbajak then became useless. I guess the sheep became a troll permanently and died somewhere and the game considers it as if I'm already using the staff/Wabbajak on another creature. But I can't see any reason for the Staff to remove everyone's helms... And the effect to be permenant.

And yes I know how to use it. I can be surrounded by enemies and it still won't work.--Webdemon00 16:16, 3 September 2008 (EDT)

Like Wabbajak, it works on Mehrunes Dagon as well but NOT on Martin. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Webdemon00 (talk • contribs) on 8 September 2008.}

[edit] Pickpocketing?

Is it possible to pickpocket NPCs 'frozen' by the staff? If so, it would be very useful for neutralizing enemies by removing useful items etc. The-manta 12:44, 25 October 2008 (EDT)

I don't think so because it renders them unconscious, but frozen in place. That would be useful though, to simply take your enemies' weapons to nuetralize them. --Oblivion nerd 23:24, 13 December 2008 (EST)

[edit] Guards

Does the Staff of Sheogorath affect guards as normal? I have noticed that many such things do not. The-manta 12:44, 25 October 2008 (EDT)

Yes, it does. --Oblivion nerd 23:22, 13 December 2008 (EST)
