‘The Necromancer’s Amulet’ occurs fairly late inOblivion Remastered’s Mages Guild questline. You will obtain this quest alongside ‘TheBloodworm Helm’, and the two quests can be completed in either order. ‘The Necromancer’s Amulet’ sends you to entreat an ally - or is she? - to safely return the titular item to your leader.
Our guide will tell you what you need to know heading into this mission, which will result in a quick but dirty boss fight against a powerful foe. Emerge triumphant against this singular enemy, and the rest of the dungeon you’re sent into will be a relative cakewalk by comparison.
How To Start ‘The Necromancer’s Amulet’
To begin’The Necromancer’s Amulet', you will need to have concluded’A Plot Revealed', a more intensive quest which leads to the unlocking ofboth’The Necromancer’s Amulet' as well as ‘TheBloodworm Helm’.
Additionally, however,several in-game days will need to pass before your quest-giver, Hannibal Traven, will offer you these two new quests.
As always,you can use the ‘Wait’ command to skip aheada few days as needed in Oblivion Remastered.
Talk to Travenat the Arcane University, and he’ll give you both directives.There is nothing gained, nor lost, in doing the two quests in any particular order, so just get to ‘The Necromancer’s Amulet’ whenever you get to it - either before or after completing ‘TheBloodworm Helm’.
Fort Ontus
For ‘The Necromancer’s Amulet’,your destination is Fort Ontus. This dungeon is situatednortheast of Kvatch and southwest of Chorrol, and if you’ve been to Fort Ontus at any point prior to now, you’ll not have been able to actually enter the place. Finally, that has changed!
Head inside. If you’re feeling as thoughthe number of mages wandering around hereis unsettling, then yes, sure enough,these mages will all eventually turn hostile. For now, however,you’re directed straight to Caranya’s location.
Following a bit of discourse, the inevitable happens:you must defeat Caranya. There are some ups and downs to your strategy here:
The best thing you can do to eliminate Caranya’s advantages is to castSilenceon her. We recommend having a means by which to do so whenever you’re up againstmagic-oriented bossesin Oblivion Remastered, as it will shut their offenses down almost entirely for the duration of its effect.
The Way Out Is Through
Grab the Necromancer’s Amulet off ofCaranya’s corpse.At this point,all the regular mages in Fort Ontus become hostile. They’re necromancers - naturally - and should be dealt with as such. Again,Silenceis a great thing to havehere, but none are particularly threatening, regardless.
Either make a quick exit or kill them all and loot the dungeon, but once you’re done here,return to Traven and hand him the Necromancer’s Amulet. At this point, one of two things will happen.
