Mephala is the Daedric Prince of lies, deceit, and murder, which is why it shouldn’t come as a surprise that her latest bidding inOblivion Remasteredinvolves her newest champion starting a war between two rival clans that share a homestead.
Daedric Princes can certainly be despicable, and Mephala is one who relishes in that fact. Her task can be a treat to complete, as it requires a bit of finesse and espionage to pull off. So, if players want the Ebony Blade and to start a tussle with two factions, then this is theOblivion Remasteredquest for them.
Mephala’s Shrine Location in Oblivion Remastered
The Shrine of Mephala can be found in the north region of the Imperial City, just before the Silver Road on the map. Once players are here, they will be able to start the quest as soon as they reach Level 15. However, to activate Mephala’s attention, players will need a Nightshade. The Nightshade is a plant that can be found across Cyrodiil, but it’s a common ingredient sold in the Main Ingredient shop in the Imperial City’s Market District. While it is relatively cheap, players can still save their gold and steal one from the counter inside the Main Ingredient. With this offering acquired, head to Mephala’s Shrine and provide the offering to the statue between midnight and dawn (12 AM - 5 AM).

With this item now claimed, head into Hrol Ulfgar’s House and head upstairs. Even though it’s three floors, try to remain in stealth so as not to wake him up.

How to Get the Ebony Blade in Oblivion Remastered
With both Nivan and Hrol dead, players will want to head into the Bleaker’s Way Goodwill Inn and tell Kirsten about the murders. Kirsten will then go outside with her weapon drawn, and the Ulfgar and Dalvil clans will kill each other until there is only one family left standing. At this point, head back to Mephala’s Shrine, and she will reward the player with the Ebony Blade.
