Max Out Your Sneak Skill in Oblivion Remastered with This Easy Exploit

by

Slipping into “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered” offers a minor yet beneficial ability for players seeking to stealthily approach foes without triggering alerts, or for those aiming to empty an NPC’s entire inventory through pickpocketing. Elevating your Sneak proficiency can sometimes be tricky, since open pickpocketing may lead guards to apprehend you, resulting in fines or even jail time.

In certain missions involving the Thieves’ Guild and Dark Brotherhood, stealth can be quite beneficial, making it important to enhance this skill. Fortunately, for those players eager to reach the maximum level of this minor skill, there’s a trick they can use. Here’s how the skill exploit functions in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

Max Sneak Skill Exploit, Explained in Oblivion Remastered

As a gamer, I’d say, “First off, I need to warp back to the Imperial City Prison, a place I remember breaking out of during the game’s intro. Upon reaching the prison, I stride towards the Bastion, and there, right in front of me, sits an Imperial Jailor. This time, when interacting with guards, they usually just provide directions or rumors. But this Jailor offers something unusual: a chance to ‘Visit a Prisoner’. It’s not every day you get such a unique option!

After making your selection, the Jailer will let you know he’ll open the door for you, though he’ll warn you that he needs to come with you to the cell. Follow him, and as he opens the wooden door, gently enter the room while ensuring he remains outside. Then talk to the Jailer once more and select the same option to visit a prisoner – he’ll repeat his dialogue and shut the door, leaving you alone inside the cell area. With no one observing, make your way downstairs to Claudius Arcadia’s cell.

As a stealthy enthusiast, I’d often find myself huddled close to the cell. Ducking down, I’d discover an option to Try Picking Pockets, even though he was empty-handed. Fear not, just the act of performing this motion boosts your Sneak skills, noticeably upping your level with repetition.

As you progress past approximately Level 50, you may find that earning experience points (XP) and leveling up becomes a more gradual process. Yet, if your goal is to achieve the maximum level in the Sneak skill, utilizing this trick for additional XP can definitely be beneficial.
