Steal Llathasa’s Bust in Oblivion Remastered Without Paying a Single Gold Coin!

by

Progressing through the exhilarating escapades of the Thieves Guild, you’ll encounter the Elven Maiden mission in Oblivion Remastered. Unlike typical tax record thefts, this task sees players undertaking a more questionable assignment – pilfering a distinctive statue from a tomb. Essentially, this quest equates to grave robbing, and it’s worth noting that the place in question is rumored to be haunted.

As a fellow enthusiast embarking on The Elven Maiden quest in Oblivion Remastered, if your goal is to secure the coveted item and safeguard your hard-earned gold, then you’ve hit the jackpot with this guide to becoming an unparalleled Thieves Guild member!

How to Start the Elven Maiden Quest for the Thieves Guild in Oblivion Remastered

To initiate The Elven Maiden quest for the Thieves Guild, gamers need to have swindled a cumulative sum of 100 Gold coins by dealing with different fence contacts within the guild. Currently, players can only interact with one such contact, Ongar the World-Weary, who resides at Olav’s Tap & Tack in Bruma. To quickly reach the required 100 Gold, it’s advisable to steal valuable items from jewelry stores, with Red Diamond Jewelry in the Imperial City’s Market District being an easy target during nighttime. However, you’ll need decent lockpicking skills for this task, so having a Skeleton Key might come in handy. Once you’ve successfully fenced 100 Gold, make your way to the Waterfront District of the Imperial City and chat with Armand Christophe after midnight to inquire about special jobs related to the Thieves Guild.

How to Successfully Steal the Bust of Llathasa Indarys in Oblivion Remastered

After obtaining The Elven Maiden quest, players can choose to explore Cheyhindal and inquire about the Bust of Llathasa’s location from locals or pay a beggar 15 gold coins for the information. Alternatively, they can make their way directly to the Great Chapel of Arkay. Within the chapel, players should take the south stairs to discover the Door to Chapel Undercroft, which is barred by a challenging difficulty door. Before entering the Chapel Undercroft, it’s crucial to disarm and discard any weapons and clothing, as maintaining high stealth skills will help players avoid detection from the Chapel Guard and the female patrol, as killing them would incur a Blood Price of 1,000 Gold with the Thieves Guild.

To pilfer the Statue of Llthasa most efficiently, you should discard all your equipment and quietly move towards the room on the left in the Catacombs Undercroft as your first destination. It’s wise to make a save at this point, just in case something goes awry. The guard is likely to patrol, so bide your time until they exit the next room before proceeding.

It’s crucial not to attempt to plunder Llathasa’s Tomb, as the trinkets within aren’t worth the hassle and will incite the appearance of Llatha’s Spirit, a malevolent ghost that will notify the guard and attack you. Instead, sneak in, snatch Llatha’s Statue which is beside the tomb, and then depart swiftly. If you are discovered and choose not to retry, simply take the statue and flee to evade penalties such as fines or imprisonment.

How to Frame Myvryna Arano and Find Armand Christophe in Oblivion Remastered

After acquiring Llatha’s Bust, players might be inclined to revisit the Waterfront District of the Imperial City. Unfortunately, this district is teeming with guards, and Armand Christophe appears to be absent. To start, explore the district until Methredhel locates you, but if she doesn’t, she can be found in her house where she will instruct players on how to implicate Myvryna Aranot to bring back Armand Christophe.

To incriminate Myvryna Arano, the players must secretly enter her residence located in the Waterfront District following successful lock-picking. Inside, they should locate Myvryna’s wardrobe positioned to the right of her bed and place Llatha’s Bust within it. Then, exit stealthily and interact with Hieronymus Lex who roams the Waterfront District. The players will need to inform him about the Statue of Llathasa Indarys, but he will only trust the player if they possess a Disposition rating of 70 or more. This can be elevated through the Persuasion Wheel. After setting up Myvryna and accompanying Hieronymus Lex to the crime scene, players should wait until midnight to find Armand Christophe in his regular spot. Here, he will reward the players with 100 Gold and upgrade their status to Bandit.
