Light the Dragonfires Walkthrough

1 Present Martin to High Chancellor Ocato

Travel to the Imperial City Palace and enter the Elder Council Chambers. Talk to High Chancellor Ocato to present Martin and his claim to the Imperial Throne.

Note that if Martin isn't with you when you talk to the High Chancellor, you must adjust your time and wait until Martin is with you to advance the quest.
2 Escort Martin to the Temple of the One

After the High Chancellor recognizes Martin's claim, a guard will come reporting that the Imperial City is under attack because of Oblivion Gates appearing throughout the city.

From this point on, enemies will start appearing inside the council and outside, so defend yourself and Martin while escorting him.
3 Watch Mehrunes Dagon Appear

At the Temple District, a prompt will appear that Mehrunes Dagon has appeared and is attacking the city. Martin will tell you that there is still a way to deal with him by reaching the Dragonfires in the Temple of the One and using the Amulet of Kings.
4 Reach the Temple of the One

Let Martin follow you as you try to evade Mehrunes Dagon's wrath and go to the Temple of the One.

Inside the temple, Martin will tell you that he needs to sacrifice himself in order to combat Mehrunes Dagon. He will say his farewell to you before becoming the Avatar of Akatosh after destroying the Amulet of Kings.
5 Witness the Final Battle

Watch as the epic fight between the Avatar of Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon unfold. Avatar of Akatosh will emerge victorious, successfully banishing Mehrunes Dagon in the process.

The Avatar will transform into a statue and a cutscene will play with Martin narrating that the Oblivion Crisis has ended and that the future is yours to write.
6 Talk to High Chancellor Ocato

After the cutscene, Ocato will arrive asking of Martin's whereabouts. He will then tell you that they must first celebrate that the crisis has ended before worrying about the uncertain future of the Empire.

This conversation will end the quest, completing the main story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. However, you can experience the Epilogue by talking to High Chancellor again.
