Oblivion All Daedric Artifacts
- For other uses, see Daedric Quests.
Daedric Quests are tasks performed for Daedric Princes. In order to receive the different quests the Hero needs to be at a certain level as indicated for each quest. Further, they must persuade the leader of the followers at the shrine to tell them the specific offering (listed below) for their Prince and then bring that offering to their shrine. Bringing the offering without convincing the leader will not activate the shrine. After they have offered at the shrine of a Prince, they will receive the quest for that Prince. For all Princes, activating their shrine after completing their quest does nothing.
Azura: Azura's StarEdit
The Daedric Crescent Blade is in Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Bethesda included an artifact book from Morrowind in Oblivion, but many of the artifacts cannot be found in Oblivion. The Daedric Influence achievement in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim worth 12 points Acquire a Daedric Artifact Note #2: You do not need to have every artifact in your inventory at the same time to.
In order to speak to Azura, the Hero must be at level two or higher and bring an offering of Glow Dust between dawn or dusk (5–7am or 5–7pm).
Ages ago, five of Azura's followers, Ghola gro-Muzgol, Aranalda, Nille Elf-Daughter, Avita Cassiana and Umar gra-Khar fought and destroyed the vampire Dratik, but all were infected with Porphyric Hemophilia. Knowing their fate, they locked themselves in the Gutted Mine to prevent themselves from ravaging the world. Azura, caring for her worshipers, wants them killed and freed of the curse.

Reward:Savior's Hide, + 1 fame
Malacath: VolendrungEdit

He is angry about an indignity done to him: a nearby noble has captured several of Malacath's 'servants', ogres, and put them to work as slaves. Malacath finds this distasteful, as only he is allowed to have ogres as slaves, and tasks the Hero with freeing them.
The Hero needs to free the ogres in the mine to get the reward.

Mephala: Ebony BladeEdit

List Of Daedric Artifacts
Namira: Ring of NamiraEdit
The Hero has learned from the followers of Namira that they will only summon the daedra for someone repulsive. If they are to get their help they will need to make themselves less attractive to others (specifically, have a Personality attribute of 20 or less).

After being asked about this, Bejeen will ask Weebam about the Eye, but he will cut her off for fear of someone overhearing them because they are not alone. The journal will update that one should try to listen in without letting your presence be known; leave the house and re-enter, keeping out of sight. Using an invisible spell or clothing will help in being undetected.

Reward:Skeleton Key, + 1 fame

Sanguine tells the Hero that there is to be a dinner party at Castle Leyawiin hosted by Countess Alessia Caro.

Level Requirement: Level 8
Reward:Sanguine Rose, + 1 fame
Sheogorath: WabbajackEdit
After receiving a lesser soul gem, a head of lettuce, and some yarn from the Hero, Sheogorath wants them to fulfill a prophecy about the end of the world in the small settlement of Border Watch.

The Daedric Quests are fifteen quests, each of which is completed at the request of one of the Daedric Princes and offers a Daedric artifact as a result. All of the Daedric Princes have a shrine hidden somewhere in the wilderness of Cyrodiil, where people gather to worship them (although Mehrunes Dagon's shrine in the Lake Arrius Caverns does not provide a quest). Daedra worship is not illegal in Cyrodiil, although it is contrary to the state-sanctioned religion of worshipping the Aedra (the Nine Divines).
Once your character is at a sufficiently high level, you can visit a Daedric shrine and provide an appropriate offering (levels and offerings are provided in the following table). At that point, the shrine's Prince will give you a quest. The nature of the quest generally reflects the nature of the Prince who provided it. This means that some of the quests may involve requests to do illegal or immoral acts. As with all quests in the game, it is your choice whether or not you wish to complete it. Being caught doing something illegal for a Daedra may lead to a bounty or Infamy, yet the quests themselves will increase your Fame (one point for each quest, except for Namira's due to an oversight).
As part of the Main Quest, you will be required to complete one Daedric quest in order to provide Martin with a Daedric artifact. Martin will point you towards Azura's quest, but you can choose to complete any of them; in fact, you certainly should not give the artifact from this quest to Martin, Azura's Star, since it is one of the most useful items which can be obtained in the game.
Finding the shrines can be difficult. Many of them can only be found if you stumble across them in the wilderness; they all have the map marker seen to the right, so keep an eye out. However, a few people know the location of a Daedric shrine, and talking to them will put a marker on your map. For a few of these characters, Daedra cults simply shows up as a possible conversation topic when you talk to them. In most cases, however, the topic Daedric shrines only appears if you have previously read Modern Heretics: A Study of Daedra Worship in the Empire. You will find a copy of this book next to Martin at Cloud Ruler Temple during Blood of the Daedra; it can also be found in the Mystic Archives and at First Edition.
For locations of all the shrines see the (map) or the Daedric Shrines Map.

Notes[edit]
- Mehrunes Dagon and Jyggalag are the only Daedric Princes to not give out a quest. This is because they are the antagonists of the base game main quest and Shivering Isles DLC main quest, respectively.
