Walkthrough of the quest Where the Spirits Dwell in Oblivion Remastered
The mission has a linear process, but the hero will have to perform a number of actions that may cause certain difficulties. Until the full completion of the task, the key NPC will remain immortal, which is why it will not be possible to accidentally break the quest.
Buy Benirusa Mansion
In a conversation with Velvin, you need to touch on the topic "Mansion", and then the interlocutor will offer to buy his grandfather's house for 5000 gold. After a successful transaction, you will receive the purchase documents and a personal key to the Benirus family home.
If at the time of the dialogue the character's inventory does not have the required amount of money, then you can use a special cheat codeto get rich instantly.
Settle in and spend the night in a new house
To continue the quest, you will have to personally visit your new home - it is located to the east of the main city gate. Once you are inside, among the destruction and darkness, you must find the way to the bed:
- Turn into the nearest room on the right side.
- Go around the left corner of the room.
- Go up to the second floor.
- Activate the bed and try to sleep in the mansion for a few hours.
The hero's sleep will be interrupted by a group of three enemy ghosts.
Here are some tips to help you defeat the ghosts from Benirus Mansion:
- This type of undead is vulnerable to electrical damage.
- Wraiths are immune to simple weapons - use silver, daedric, or enchanted arsenal.
- Mages should be wary of temporary status effects "Silence".
These monsters respawn every few days, making farming easy:
- Ectoplasm for alchemical potions and poisons.
- Great souls to fill the magic stones.
When you open the portal in the basement, ghosts will stop appearing.
Find Lorgren's diary
After defeating the enemies, head to the front door on the first floor to search the house and inspect everything. In the far room you will find a new object - broken vase, from which two items fell out:
- Excerpt from Lorgren's diary.
- Skeleton hand.
The first item will activate the next stage of the quest, and the second will only be needed in the finale.
The note is very small and may blend into the floor covering, making it difficult to find. If this is not possible, then sequentially enter into console two teams:
- Altar.Cheat.AllowSetStage true
- setstage MS02 75
This will force the required mission stage to start.
Talk to Velvin
The found message will shed light on the past of the former owner of the mansion. To cleanse the house, you will need the help of Velvin Benirus, who left Anvil. You can ask the townspeople to find out the exact location of the man, but you do not have to do this - he will still appear in a specific location.
The place Velvin moved to is a tavern. "The King and the Queen" in the Elven Gardens of the Imperial City. Inside, find a fugitive who will tell you the truth about his grandfather, Lorgren Benirus.
Open the portal in the basement
If you ask Velvin to lift the curse, he will offer to meet you at the Anvil tavern. Agree to this offer and move to the named city, then wait for Benirus to arrive - sometimes he is delayed for several hours.
When you meet Velvin, tell him that you are ready to go. After that, you need to get to the secret room with him. Try to follow nearby, otherwise the NPC script may break. In case of any bug, just load one of the last saves and continue the walkthrough.
Go to the basement, the door to which is located under the stairs leading to the second floor. Then kill the undead and go along the narrow corridors to a dead-end room. The descendant of Benirus can stand up for himself, but it is still recommended to protect him from ghosts all the way to the secret room.
At the end, you will find a wall with a bloody seal painted on it. Here you need to wait for Velvin to open the cache with his family connection - this ritual lasts no more than one minute. If after a while the age in the wall does not open, try loading the last autosave and repeating the entire path in the basement.
Find the lost hand
To continue the mission, the character's inventory must contain skeleton hand — it is usually possible to pick it up together with the diary entries at the first stages of the task. If you haven't done this earlier, then return to the broken pot and take the bone. With this item, you will have to get into the secret room again and touch Lorgren's skeleton.
Defeat Lorgren Benirus
Once the skeleton's hand is reunited with the rest of Lorgren's bones, a unique mini-boss will appear and the secret room will close for the remainder of the battle. Here are some tips for this battle:
- The Lich summons leveled undead that are pointless to kill, as a new minion will appear in their place.
- The living dead is vulnerable to the fire element.
- If you plan to attack from a distance, use the altar and columns as temporary cover.
Afterwards it remains to return again "Count's Coat of Arms" and tell Velvin everything - this is the final stage of this mission.
Awards
During the quest, the hero will receive the following as main rewards:
- A restored mansion that is now safe to live in.
- Not tied to level of pumping
- A unique and expensive book "Tom of Unlife".
The character can also legally appropriate any other items he finds in the updated version of the house.
