To get the best house in Oblivion Remastered, you have to search in Deep Scorn Hollow. It’s free from the moment you open the game. Providing everything from a bed and safe storage space to a secret entrance and even a vampirism cure. We will take you through the steps of how to locate it and why it is one of the best houses you can get in Oblivion Remastered in this guide.
How to Find Deep Scorn Hollow
Deep Scorn Hollow is the best house in Oblivion Remastered. In Deep Scorn Hollow, you have a bed, secure storage, a shrine, a cure for vampirism, a hidden entrance, and a garden. All of these for free.
To acquire Deep Scorn Hollow, go south from the beginning area off the sewer exit. Pull out your map and proceed to the Leyawiin Northeast Gate. When you get there, turn left off the gate and keep going straight south.
Traveling south, you’ll see Deep Scorn Hollow over a little bridge. Cross the bridge and a quest will initiate automatically, informing you of rumors of an underground lair somewhere in the area.
Now, proceed south along the route to the ruined castle buildings on the water. Dive down toward a tree stump stuck in the rocks – that’s your entry. Swim in as fast as you can, since you can drown if you stay down too long. Inside, you’ll find a journal saying you can complete Deep Scorn Hollow by spending decorations at the Weye Inn, just beyond the Imperial City.
Now, the most important thing to get early on is the victim’s chest. It’s located behind a rock in the living room. You can use it right away to store your belongings safely. Anything you put in there will remain there forever, even after the home is upgraded.
Venturing a bit more to the left side, you have the Coler (a room where you can subsequently cure vampirism after you become afflicted). To the right, by a hatch, lies a hidden entry into Deep Scorn Hollow. Watch out, some of the enemies may be there when you visit.
Moving on inside, you will find another key aspect: your bed. This allows you to sleep and level up if necessary. With the permanent storage chest and the bed, you now possess a fully established base you can fast-travel back to at any time.
The Shrine and Scaling Weapon
As you venture further in, you’ll find a shrine (useful once you’ve gone through the Dark Brotherhood questline), and on a shelf close by, there’s an odd box with a weapon inside. The weapon levels up to your level when you pick it up, so if you want a higher version, it’s best to leave it there until you’re a higher level.
There are additional rooms as well, such as, reading room, after you decorate the space, and a small other chamber that opens up further with decorations. Once you upgrade Deep Scorn Hollow completely, the central hall also becomes an indoor garden full of plants from which you can harvest beneficial flora.
