There are a lot of interesting and fun quests inThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. The charm of old game quests never fails to deliver, as some of these missions are unforgettable, like searching for giant potatoes or the classic rats in the basement with a twist.
One of the more memorable quests in the game involves an entire village that has turned invisible. You’d get used to going through villages filled with NPCs only to find this one devoid of them, or so you thought. Of course, the quest involves a mage who has had too much fun experimenting with spells.
How To Start The Zero Visibility Quest
To start the Zero Visibility quest, you musthead to Aleswell and talk to Diram Serethi.
You will get to fight invisible enemies, sospells like Detect Life will be usefulfor this quest. However, they’re not fully invisible since the spell leaves a faint outline.
Where To Find Aleswell
To start the task, you musthead to Aleswell, north-northwest of the Imperial City. If you follow the road west from the Imperial City, then go north and then east, you’ll run into the village. Once you’re there, you’ll need tohead inside the Aleswell Inn, located south of the village.
When you enter the inn, an invisible NPC calledDiram Serethi will talk to you. He will tell you about everyone in the village being invisible and that it was the fault of a wizard called Ancotar.
How To Complete The Zero Visibility Quest
Diram Serethi will task you withfinding Ancotar in the ruins of Fort Caractacus. The fort can be foundsouth of the villagedown the hill. Be prepared for a fight because the fort will have a couple ofinvisible leveled enemies.
Where To Find Ancotar
Once you’ve cleared the fort of enemies, you’ll need to talk to Ancotar. He will be invisible just like the villagers, but while walking around the ruins,he will shout at you to leave. He’s usually on thesecond or third floor of the ruins, so look for his invisible outline there.
You can alsouse Detect Life spells.
When you get near him, he should talk to you and ask what you’re doing there. Tell him about the Invisibility Spell and how it affected the town. He will then give you ascroll that can reverse the invisibility. All you need to do is go back to Aleswell and cast the spell scroll in the middle of the town.
To cast the spell scroll and affect the whole town, you’ll need to cast it in the middle of the farm, which is in the middle of the town. If you fail to cast it there, you can ask for another scroll from Ancotar, but if you fail again, he won’t give you another one.

The scroll will alsodamage your Luck attributeby 50 points, which you can heal throughRestore Luckpotions or spells. You can also go to any church or chapel and interact with the altars there to restore your luck.
How To Get Ancotar’s Ring of Protection

If you either choose that dialogue option or raise his disposition, he will give you a ring. When you ask about the Reverse Invisibility Spell, he’llgive you a ring called ‘Ancotar’s Ring of Protection.‘Wear this ring when casting the spell scroll toprotectyou from the spell damaging your luck attribute.

The room you get isn’t the most glamorous, with only a bedroll and a dresser, but it is free. Not only that, but you can keep items inside the dresser, so it’s a great early home for new characters.
