Believe it or not, there are quests inThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivionand its Remaster that require no combat at all. The quest for the Daedric Prince Sanguine is one example, where the only fighting you’ll do is for your modesty.
It’s also simpler than the other short Daedric artifact quests, though it can be a bit expensive. Sanguine will also throw you at least a couple of curveballs in your quest for him, so we’ll go over everything you need to know here.
Preparations For Sanguine’s Quest
You don’t need to have any specific combat setup or build to complete Sanguine’s quest. What youwillneed is at least two pieces of jewelry. You can’t enter the blocked-off quest area without them.
In practice,two rings are more than enough. Oddly, you don’t need to wear fancy clothes; we were able to get in wearing a full set of Orcish heavy armor. Persuasion is also a viable way to get past theguardat the quest door.
How To Start Sanguine’s Quest
As with the rest of the Daedric Prince quests, you’ll first need to find the Shrine of Sanguine. It’s about575 meters northwest of Skingradon top of a hill.
Speak to Engorm in the monk’s outfit to learn how to speak to Sanguine. In this case, you need toprovide the daedra’s statue with a bottle of Cyrodilic Brandy as an offering; a rather expensive alcohol.
Where To Find Cyrodilic Brandy
The easiest way to get your hands on Cyrodilic Brandy is to buy it.you may find it at either The Gilded Carafe or The Main Ingredientin the Imperial City Market District, where the price is approximately 145-155 gold per bottle.
You can alsofind Cyrodilic Brandy in the following locationsand via the following methods:
With the brandy in hand, head back to the Shrine of Sanguine and present the bottle to his statue. He’ll greet you and charge you with a task:cast a spell calledStark Realityon the Countess of Lyeawiin.
She’s having a dinner party, and the Daedric Prince wouldalsolike theentire guest list to be affected as well.
How To Get Into The Dinner Party
As noted, you’ll need two pieces of jewelry equipped. Then head to Castle Leyawiin. Once inside,proceed into the main meeting hall and turn right. There will be aguardblocking your way into the dinner party.
With the proper “attire” equipped, he should let you in when youselect the “Dinner Party” option. For roleplaying purposes, you might also want to wear some expensive clothes thataren’tyour armor, but it’s not strictly necessary.
Bringing theguard’sPersuasion level to 70 or above will also convince himthat you’re able to go in.
Once inside, all you need to do iscastStark Realityat the middle of the tablewhile you’re in the room with the guests. They — and you — will be stripped of all your belongings, gold, and other equipment.
If you castStark Realityanddon’thit all the party guests, you’ll retain all your gear and can buy your freedom. You will, however, automatically fail Sanguine’s quest.
The guests will immediately attack you, but rather than fight back,allow the guards to send you to jail. Serve your time, and, provided you get the message saying you succeeded at Sanguine’s task, you may head back to his shrine.
How To Get TheSanguine Rose
The Daedric Prince will be pleased with your work and the little prank he had at your expense. For your trouble,he’ll grant you theSanguine Rosestaff and return your gearvia the chest across from his statue.
TheSanguine Roseis a staff with ten castings before it needs to be recharged. If the projectile it produces hits a target,it will summon a powerful planar beingto attack that target.
There’s a catch: if the planar entity defeats its target, it turns on you next, only stopping if killed or its summon timer runs out. Use the Rose at your own risk.
