The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion - The Antipodean Hammer

The Antipodean Hammer is a side quest in the Shivering Isles expansion in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered. Learn how to start The Antipodean Hammer and the list of the craftable items here!

The Antipodean Hammer Walkthrough

1 Speak to Cutter or Dumag Gro-Bonk

To start the side quest, players can speak to either Cutter in Cutter's Weapons armory or Dumag Gro-Bonk in The Missing Pauldron armory.

Cutter will mention Madness Ore.
Dumag Gro-Bonk will mention Amber.
Find Amber or Madness Ore

Players can also start the side quest by finding either Amber or Madness Ore from enemy loot or chests.

Amber can be obtained mostly from amber stumps or as loot from Gnarls.

Madness Ore can be obtained mostly from ruined forts since they contain Madness Ore deposits.

Once the items are obtained, a quest log will appear asking them to speak to someone who has knowledge on the items.
2 Forge a Weapon or Armor

To forge an item, players must have the required number of Amber or Madness Ore.

If players have the specific matrix for an armor or weapon, they will receive an enchanted version of it after crafting.
Note: The quest can't be finished and removed from the quest log since it's an ongoing task.
