The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredhas a variety of interesting quests, including main quests, that can be completed in multiple ways. Blood of the Daedra is one such quest that requires you to hunt for a Daedric Artifact and give it to Martin Septim for him to use in a ritual.
However, if you bring him a Daedric Artifact, you’ll lose it permanently for the playthrough. Considering how Daedric Artifacts are powerful tools that can be essential as you move towards the late game, it’s important to make this decision wisely.
How To Start Blood Of The Daedra Quest
The Blood of the Daedra quest can be started after completing theSpies quest. You’ll have togo to the Cloud Ruler Temple to talk with Martin Septimand ask about his progress in deciphering the Mysterium Xarxes that you have recovered from the Mythic Dawn base.
Martin will inform you that to open the gate to Camoran’s Paradise,one of the items he’ll need is a Daedric Artifact. He’ll also tell you that you can read the Modern Heretics book to discover more about these artifacts.
Blood of the Daedra Quest Walkthrough
The Modern Heretics book talks about the Shrine of Azura, and reading the book will immediately unlock a quest log entrythat asks you to visit Azura’s Shrineand find out how to obtain a Daedric Artifact.
you’re able to then fast travel to Lake Arrius Caverns, the same place where you discovered Dagon’s Shrine, and thenmove straight north to arrive at the Shrine of Azura. Talk to Mels Maryon at the shrine. After you’ve persuaded him, he will reveal the requirements tostart the Azura quest.
After you’ve completed the Azura quest, you’ll be rewarded with Azura’s Star, which can then be given to Martin Septim. However, given the usefulness of this item,it’s not recommended that you give it to Martin.
Azura’s Star could be infinitely used to enchant or recharge weapons, making it a useful tool to pair with enchanted weapons, instead of Soul Gems, later on in the game.
If you don’t plan to use any enchanted weapons later on, or don’t want any extra hassle, and finish the main story as soon as possible, then you can indeed give Azura’s Star to Martin.
Best Daedric Artifact To Give To Martin
you’re able to give any Daedric Artifact to Martinto complete this quest. While the best Daedric Artifact, which you won’t feel much regret for losing in your playthrough, is easily theSaviour’s Hide, which can be obtained by completing Hircine’s quest. However, the quest only becomes available after you’re level 17, which is a little too late because Blood of the Daedra is an early game quest.
Another excellent choice of a Daedric Artifact to give to Martin for the quest isNamira’s Ring, which can be claimed aftercompleting the Namira quest. The questrequires you to be at least level five, which can be managed early on if you don’t plan to sacrifice Azura’s Star.
Namira’s Ring reflects a short amount of physical and magical damage, and while it’s hard to find a replacement for this Daedric Artifact, compared to the other options available early on, Namira’s Ring is the best choice to give away.
Completing Blood Of The Daedra Quest
After you’ve acquired any Daedric Artifact, you can return to Martin Septim inside the Cloud Ruler Temple. You’ll have to talk to him to give him the Daedric Artifact, andhe’ll have a unique dialogue depending on the artifact that you’ve given to him.
Martin will then ask you to talk to Jauffre while he prepares to decipher more of the Mysterium Xarxes, andthe quest will be completed. You can then talk to Jauffre regarding the Bruma Gate main quest.
