Quick Links

In the refreshed edition of [game title], I’ve noticed quite a few tweaks here and there, similar to how accessing the Shivering Isles DLC has been slightly altered in this new version.

In this tutorial, I will explain the minor adjustments when initiating this DLC storyline. The most significant alteration is that the DLC has now been incorporated into the main game, meaning if you own the standard edition of Oblivion Remastered, you’ll automatically have access to all DLC content.

In the Shivering Isles expansion, you’ll venture into the dominion of Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Insanity. Feel free to dive right into the DLC zone whenever you’re ready, but it might be wise to seek out some distinctive artifacts first to help you tackle the difficulties ahead.

How To Access The Shivering Isles?

Reaching the Shivering Isles is surprisingly effortless, almost to the point where you might find it amusing.
You won’t have to pull off any extraordinary feats or advance far enough into the narrative.

After finishing the tutorial, you’ll be able to explore freely and take on any quest that catches your interest. If you’re eager to visit The Shivering Isles immediately, feel free! Just remember that this additional content was primarily designed for players who are further along in the game.

Before embarking on the challenge of facing a Daedric Prince and their realm, it would be wise to thoroughly understand both the game’s mechanics and its intricacies.

To reach the Shivering Isles you’ll need to:

  • Complete the Tutorial – Once you exit the sewers for the first time, you’re able to do anything you wish.
  • Travel to Bravil – One way or another you’ll need to reach Bravil. You can fast travel to the stables just outside the city to cut down on some of the walking.
  • Go to the Head-Shaped Island – Looking out on the Bay will show you two islands and one of them will be closer and look like it has a head on it.
  • Talk to the NPCs – You’ll have to speak to the NPCs around the door to forward the quest.
  • Enter the Portal – There’s a short introduction before you’ll have the ability to freely roam the Shivering Isles.

In this adventure, there’s nothing handed to the player at the start – no message or item. However, a whisper of a clue might guide them towards their destination. Discovering the entrance itself triggers the beginning of the quest.

Initially, you won’t be allowed to pass through the portal, and a voice coming from the portal itself will make fun of you. But don’t worry, once it finishes speaking, you’ll have your chance to proceed.

Stepping indoors, I find myself face-to-face with an enigmatic figure seated in a secluded chamber. Engaging in conversation with him, I uncover intriguing insights about the Shivering Isles, and he offers tantalizing hints about the adventures that lie ahead in this DLC.

Once our chat winds down, what lies before me is nothing short of breathtaking – a sight so stunning it feels like I’ve stepped into another world with these state-of-the-art visuals.

Feel free to explore and engage in activities across the Shivering Isles. If you find yourself in over your head, remember there’s a portal leading back to Cyrodiil, which was previously located at the table where you were seated.

Once you’ve passed through the gateway, you have the option to instantly return and revisit the Shivering Isles whenever you wish. Please note that this additional content (DLC) does not affect your ability to play the game in any manner; it’s entirely optional.

After spending ample time exploring Cyrodiil, don’t hesitate to dive into this challenging world fearlessly. The revamped version of this classic RPG has undergone numerous improvements and changes, so take the time to familiarize yourself with everything before rushing in headstrong.
