The Castle Kvatch storyline inThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredhas a couple Quests involved to see the entire thing through. The first portion, Breaking The Siege Of Castle Kvatch, sees you entering the Oblivion portal and entering that hellish realm in order to close the gate and stop the constant assault on the castle.
This is essentially act two of the Castle Kvatch questline. Now that we’ve closed the Oblivion gate and established a foothold back in Kvatch, we’re going to need to take the castle back. This will be a somewhat involved process, and there may be a bug we need to work around along the way.
Speak To Savlian
This Quest is going to startinside the chapel in Kvatch. Talk to Savlian, informing him that you’re ready to help take the castle. He’ll lead the charge out of the chapel, and toward the main castle gates.
There will be a few monsters along the way, but with everybody charging together, they won’t be an issue.
How To Unlock The Gates
You’ll all find that thegates leading to the castle have been locked from the inside. Savlian will inform you that you’ll need toreturn to the chapel, get the key, and head into the guardhouse. The guardhouse will have a tunnel leading inside the castle, and you can unlock the gate and let everybody in from there.
The Chapel Undercroft And The Tower Tunnel
Return to the chapel, andtalk to Berich Inian. Berich will accompany you to the guardhouse, traveling through the chapel undercroft and to the tower at the north wall of the city.
Two Imperial soldiers will also accompany you along the way, meeting you inside the chapel.
Follow Berich, fighting alongside him and the two soldiers.
If Berich happens to go down in this fight, you’ll need to take the key from him yourself. If not,he’ll unlockthe passage for you, and you and the soldiers will head inside.
Inside the tunnel,head all the way through to the ladder. Climb up the ladder andturn the Gate Lever.
How To Clear The Courtyard
After you’ve opened the gate, you’ll need tomove into the Courtyard and help Savlian and the rest of the soldiersclear the enemies. There will be quite a few here, and this is where you can run into a fairly common bug.
Once you’ve entirely cleared the courtyard, Savlian will often still continue acting as though the courtyard needs to be cleared.
This seems like it blocks quest progression, and while it does mean you’ll need to head onward without Savlian, it’s safe to do so.
How To Clear Castle Kvatch
If you do end up with the bug, it won’t be quite as clear as to what you need to do when inside Castle Kvatch.Luckily, it’s fairly simple.
Inside the castle, you’ll need to clear the monsters inside andfight all the way to the Count’s Quarters, located on the far side of the location from where you start. If they’ve stayed alive this entire time, you’ll still have the Imperial soldiers as backup here, though they may die inside.
Where To Find The Ring In The Count’s Quarters
Inside the Count’s Quarters, you’ll need tosearch Count Goldwine’s body. He’ll have aColovian Signet Ringon him, and you’ll need to grab that and bring it back to Savlian.
Return To Savlian
With the ring secured, you’ll need to return to Savlian. Here you havetwo options:
Give Savlian The Ring
In return, he’ll give you hisKvatch Cuirassoff his own back. This chestpiece will fortify attributes for you and isa decent piece of gear, particularly in the early game.
