Unlock the Secret to Keeping the Honorblade of Chorrol in Oblivion Remastered

by

The Honorblade of Chorrol, one of the finest weapons players will come across during the early stages of Oblivion Remastered, is unfortunately temporary as it must be given up at the end of the quest “Sins of the Father”. Unlike other powerful weapons in the game, the Honorblade isn’t magic-infused and doesn’t require Soul Gems for recharging. Moreover, its weightlessness makes it a valuable asset for the often overburdened adventurer. It’s no wonder many players seek ways to retain this weapon. In this guide, we will explain how to obtain the weapon and demonstrate how to keep the Honorblade of Chorrol in Oblivion Remastered.

How to Get the Honorblade of Chorrol in Oblivion Remastered

Jemane Family Questline:

1. The First Quest: The Jemane Conspiracy
2. The Second Quest: The Jemane Rebellion
3. The Third Quest: The Jemane Recompense

  • “Separated at Birth”
  • “Lost Legacy”
  • “Sins of the Father”

Separated at Birth:

The adventure kicks off in “Separated at Birth,” a tale that unfolds in both Chorrol and Cheydinhal. To move forward, you should initially engage the locals of Chorrol in conversation. Roam the town and inquire about rumors from anyone you encounter. After speaking with approximately five Non-Player Characters (NPCs), we managed to extract the information from a character named Nermus the Mooch.

He mentioned Reynald Jemane, a local from Chorrol, whom he alleges to have encountered in Cheydinhal. He alleges that Reynald deliberately ignored him, passing by without even a nod or recognition. Prompt him for additional details, which will lead to the discovery of “Separated at Birth.

First, you should head to Chorrol to find Reynald Jemane. Use the quest marker to locate him. Once you’ve spoken with Reynald, you’ll then journey to Cheydinhal to meet Guilbert, who turns out to be his long-lost brother. After speaking with Guilbert in Cheydinhal, both brothers will reunite in Chorrol. It involves a bit of back and forth conversation.

Lost Legacy:

Once the brothers Je’nean are back together, they will task you with finding their old family home, called Weatherleah. They aren’t sure where it is, so you’ll need to ask around in the city of Chorrol. Eventually, you’ll cross paths with Sabine Laul at the Fighter’s Guild within Chorrol.

Talking to Sabine will guide you to Weatherleah, a town situated nearly halfway between Chorrol and Skingrad, lying to its south. Your task is to eliminate the Ogres that have invaded the area. Once you’ve completed this task, make your way back to the Jemane brothers, who will then escort you back home, wrapping up the quest.

Sins of the Father:

In contrast to the previous missions, the third one titled “Sins of the Father” isn’t instantly triggered like them. Immediately after completing “Lost Legacy,” you must wait for two in-game days before a significant event unfolds. You can choose to rest or utilize the Wait function during this period. Once those two days have elapsed, explore Chorrol until a dark elf named Fathis Ules encounters you.

He’s proposing a unique task for you: Retrieve the Honorblade of Chorrol that was taken by the ogres who raided Weatherleah. It’s essential that you take up this job from him. He’ll guide you to the Redguard Valley Cave, which lies just east of Weatherleah.

The Honorblade of Chorrol can be discovered on the slain corpse of the Redguard Valley Ogre Chief, situated at the deepest point within the cave network.

Should You Return the Honorblade of Chorrol in Oblivion Remastered?

Yes, But Wait:

When you acquire the Honorblade of Chorrol, you’ll find that the quest “Sins of the Father” provides you with just two possible choices to proceed:

  • Sell the blade to Fathis Ules
  • Return the blade to Chorrol Castle

Upon encountering these two choices and being aware of the Honorblade of Chorrol’s exceptional qualities, many players might ponder: “Is it possible for me to retain the Honorblade of Chorrol?” To answer your question directly, yes, you can indeed keep it. Let’s delve deeper into this matter by first discussing what transpires if you choose to either dispose of or return the Honorblade.

Selling the Honorblade of Chorrol:

It doesn’t make any logical sense in the long run to sell the Honorblade of Chorrol. If you accept the initial offer and return the blade to Fathis Ules, you’ll receive 1,500 Gold. While this may seem like a substantial amount early on, it is not worth giving up the sword for such a small sum.

Do not sell the Honorblade of Chorrol back to Fathis Ules.

Returning the Honorblade of Chorrol:

The following step is to bring the Honorblade of Chorrol back to Chorrol Castle. To accomplish this, make your way into the Great Hall and converse with d, who serves as the Countess’ Herald. Handing over the sword to him will grant you the Escutcheon of Chorrol, an exceptional Shield within the game. This shield has the ability to return damage inflicted upon you back to your attacker, and it grows more potent as you level up.

As a devoted player, I can’t stress enough the wisdom in returning the Honorblade of Chorrol, but not immediately. This potent blade serves you well early on in the game, but once you’ve unlocked the Umbra sword, it’s best to return the Honorblade and claim the Escutcheon of Chorrol instead.

If you desire to acquire both items, there’s an opportunity to pilfer the Honoblade of Chorrol once it has been returned. The most effective method we’ve found is by using a Paralyze spell or Chameleon followed by pickpocketing. Other approaches are quite tricky and risky.
