The Blade of Woe is an extremely powerful weapon that can be obtained very early in Oblivion Remastered; reaching level 2 to trigger a secret questline is your only requirement. Here is a quick guide about how to obtain it.
Leveling Up and Triggering the Special Questline
Once players reach level 2, they become eligible to unlock this weapon with a special questline.
Start first by viewing the Major Skills present in the inventory. At the bottom of the screen is a skill bar; once the bar is full, you’ll need to rest to reach the next level. This step is vital and usually neglected and keeps players stuck at Level 1. Go to any of the inns as well as rest points in the game to rest.
Meeting the NPC
Level 2 will reveal a hidden NPC, Lucien Lachance, after resting who will commence a secret questline.
You have to talk with that NPC exhaustively through all the dialogue prompts. If one skips the encounter or walks away too soon, the opportunity to gain the weapon may be lost.
The journey of this questline helps with early advances in the game and is a classic attribute, inspired by the original series.
Unlocking the Blade of Woe
Complete all dialogues with the NPC and explore every option as well, after this point the Blade of Woe will be given as a reward to you.
This weapon is easy to miss if players fail to complete the dialogue, so they must make sure to see it through before the NPC leaves. The weapon can be obtained by some other major ways in the course of other quests, but this is the fastest way early on in the game.
The Blade of Woe is an excellent early-game weapon and can significantly help during the initial missions and combat encounters.
