Oblivion brings back all the memories you cherished in 2006 as a child, and now with theThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, you can relive them with polished visuals, improved graphics, and more fluid gameplay. The best part is getting to enjoy all the villages and DLC in one place while taking on some of your favorite quests from before, along with a few of the more tedious ones.

Among the more tedious quests you can undertake is Seeking Your Roots. This quest starts off simple but becomes increasingly grindy over time, as it requires you to collect a total of 100Nirnrootto fully complete it.

How To Start The Seeking Your Roots Quest

In order to trigger the Seeking Your Roots quest,you need to harvestNirnrootfor the first time.

This plant can be found in multiple locations,usually around bodies of water, and it looksgreen, vibrant, and is easily recognizable.

The closest location to get this plant from is justaround the Imperial City Waterfront. There should beat least a few to the east and west, around the water area of this location.

As soon as you pick this item,the Seeking Your Roots quest pops up, indicating that this seems like a rare plant, andyou need to find an alchemist to ask about it.

How To Complete The Seeking Your Roots Quest

The alchemist you are seeking is calledSinderion,and he can be found in Skingrad. Speak to him andchoose theNirnroottopic.

Sinderion will then ask you tohelp him make the Elixir of Exploration,and this will send you to Shadeleaf Copse, just north-east of the town, to find three sprigs ofNirnroot.But that’s not all.

The entire quest requires you tofind a certain number of Nirnroots for every variation of the elixir.

How To Get Elixir Of Exploration

You start by finding 10, and then when you speak to Sinderion andselect the Elixir of Exploration dialogue option, he can begin working on the elixir.

Next,wait 24 hoursand then speak to him again. You will receivethe Weak version of the potion for the first 10.

Then,he will ask for 20, then 30, and then 40. The process stays the same: collect the required number of Nirnroots, speak to him, and then wait 24 hours for the elixir to be completed.

Here’s a table that will break down the above information for an easier time:

How To Find Nirnroots

Now, you may wonder where to find all these Nirnroots,as in total you need 100 of them. As mentioned before, these can usually be found by bodies of water, but there are two main locations where you may find all these easily.

Keep in mind that these are not the only locations, as you may still find them around the map.

To make things simpler,the map below will highlight the areaswhere you can look around and find theNirnrootyou need.

Even if you complete the quest, you can still turn in Nirnroots to Sinderion. However, this time, he will reward you with gold. For every 10 Nirnroots, you will receive 250 gold.
