TES IV Oblivion Blood of the Daedra Walkthrough
Blood of the Daedra is a main quest in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered. Read on for a complete walkthrough of Blood of the Daedra, rewards, and which Daedra artifact should you give to Martin.

Blood of the Divine Walkthrough

1 Find a Daedric Artifact

Martin will task you with finding a Daedric artifact—special items and weapons with unique effects that are obtained by completing Daedric quests. You can choose from any of the 15 Daedric quests (depending on your level) to obtain an artifact and give to Martin.

For the purpose of this walkthrough, we'll be obtaining the Wabbajack as it is one of the more accessible Daedric quests for low-level players and the artifact is expendable enough to give it to Martin.

2 Head to Sheogorath's Shrine

Head to Sheogorath's Shrine at Blackwood, between Leyamiin and Bravil. The easiest way to get there is to fast travel to Leyawiin and travel north.

3 Offer Items to the Shrine

To start the quest, you need to have Cabbage, Yarn, and a Petty Soul Gem in your inventory. These items can be looted accross the map or purchased from merchants.

If you don't have Cabbage or Yarn, go to Water's Edge, a settlement south of Sheogorath's Shrine. Cabbage can be harvested from the farm in front of the house. Yarn is inside the house in a crate to the right as you enter.

The quickest way to find a Petty Soul Gem is to purchase one from Calindil, at the Mystic Emporium within the Imperial City, Market District.
4 Travel to Border Watch

Once you have the quest unlocked, travel to Border Watch, located south of Sheogorath's Shrine and west of Water's Edge.

Talk to Ri'Bassa and ask about the K'Sharra prophecy. Note that you need to persuade him or bribe him in order to get more information.

5 Steal the Cheese

Enter the Border Watch Inn, which is just beside Ri'Bassa. Upon entering, lockpick the Display Case on the right and steal the Cheese inside.

6 Complete the Prohecy

Head back outside and put the Cheese in the Cooking Pot in front of the Inn. Rats will then arrive, simulating the first part of the prophecy.

Ri'Bassa later shows up and lays Rat Poison on the ground. Take the Poison and go to the farm nearby. Place the Rat Poison on the Feeding Trough to continue the prohecy simulation.

Head to the center of the village, and you will begin to see flaming wolves raining down, completing Sheogorath's prophecy.
7 Return to the Shrine

Return to Sheogorath's Shrine and interact with it to complete the Daedric quest. You will be rewarded with the Daedric artifact Wabbajack.
8 Give the Artifact to Martin

Once you have the artifact, return to Martin and give it to him to complete the quest.

Martin will ask you to give him a Daedric artifact that will be permanently destroyed. As mentioned in the walkthrough, we recommend sacrificing the Wabbajack, as it offers little practical value in combat or long-term progression.

If you haven’t completed any Daedric quests yet, Blood of the Daedra will direct you to complete Azura’s Daedric Quest, which rewards you with Azura’s Star. However, we strongly advise against this, as Azura’s Star is an S-tier artifact that provides unmatched utility for enchanting and weapon recharging throughout the game.
