Oblivion Remastered: How to Fake a Death and Save Francois Motierre in the Assassinated Man Quest

by

In the game Oblivion Remastered, the typical tasks for the Dark Brotherhood often revolve around assassinations or instigating chaos in a tranquil world. However, the Assassinated Man mission stands out as it doesn’t demand taking someone’s life, but rather saving them from the weight of debt. In this quest, you will be required to simulate Francois Motierre’s death, and later use an antidote to revive him, aiding him in evading his creditors. Here is a guide on how to accomplish this mission.

How to Stage Francois Motierre’s Death in the Assassinated Man Quest

In Oblivion Remastered, gamers can embark on the Assassinated Man quest once they have finished Vincente Valtieri’s Scheduled for Execution contract. Upon taking up the freshly assigned task, players must visit Motierre at his residence in Chorrol. As part of this assignment, you will acquire a unique poison-laced weapon called “Languorwine Bade,” along with an antidote bottle.

Once you reach the house, it would be wise to have a lockpick handy beforehand. Inside, a terrified Francois is waiting for the assassin known as Hides-His-Heart to come knocking any second. Prepare the tool and remain vigilant for the opportune moment.

When the Argonian assassin enters to speak with François, seize the opportunity and plunge your unique blade into him. Following the quest update, swiftly make your escape from the house and leave Chorrol. Once it’s safe, you’ll have to wait 24 hours for François’ body to be moved to the Undercroft in the Chapel of Stendarr.

Reviving Francois Motierre and Helping Him Escape

Reach the Chapel where Francois’ body is located in the Undercroft on a chilly stone slab. Swiftly give him the potion, and he’ll revive. Before you depart though, there are some shambling headless zombies to handle in that vicinity.

After ensuring that there are no hostile forces around, guide Francois Motierre from the Chapel to the Gray Mare Inn. There, Francois will express his gratitude for fulfilling the contract. Following this, players can return to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary where they’ll be able to converse with Vicete and acquire the Sanctuary Well Key (a convenient exit pass) as well as the Cruelty’s Heart Amulet. This advancement will also propel you to the Eliminator rank, concluding the Assassinated Man quest in Oblivion Remastered.
