Pilgrimage is the start of the Knights of the Nine questline in Oblivion Remastered . It begins by speaking to NPCs around churches across Cyrodiil or by heading into the city of Anvil and approaching the NPC called the "Prophet," who is shouting outside the Anvil Chapel.
There's been a murder committed in the chapel, and the Prophet tasks you with hunting down who is responsible. Unfortunately, the Prophet believes that an ancient deity named Umaril the Unfeathered committed the murder, meaning you can't track down the culprit easily. Instead, you need to find and pray at nine different wayshrines along the "Pilgrim's Way" in Cyrodiil.
By doing this, you'll be deemed worthy by the Divine Crusader and given a chance to find the Relics of the Crusader, which is the only way to defeat Umaril. To see how to find all nine wayshrines for the Pilgrimage quest in Oblivion Remastered, take a look at the guide below. If you want more general tips and advice on main story quests in Oblivion Remastered, make sure to check out our full walkthrough of the game .
During your conversation with the Prophet, he'll ask you if you're a worthy enough hero to go on the pilgrimage of the Divine Crusader. After he asks you this, you can choose three dialogue options, two of which answer "yes" to the question and one that answers "no." You need to answer "no" to this question, as it's the only way you'll receive a map that shows you the locations of all nine wayshrines.
The map can be viewed in the "Miscellaneous" section of your inventory. When you bring up the map, you'll see the nine wayshrines and their approximate location in Cyrodiil. However, you won't receive any quest markers for the shrines, so it can be difficult to know exactly where they are.
Every wayshrine looks the same, as they are gray, circular stone ruins with pillars around them. They're also all above ground, so don't bother looking inside any cave. We'll show you the location of each wayshrine below.
Up first is the Wayshrine of Dibella, which is located just south of the city of Chorrol and the Black Road. To get here, you can either fast travel to the Chorrol Stables and head south or go to Weynon Priory, which is where the first main story quest takes place, so you likely already have it unlocked. From the priory, head west and you'll find the shrine.
The shrine is lying at the bottom of a hill and when you arrive, choose the option to "activate" it and then move on to the next one. Next up is the Wayshrine of Mara, located to the northwest of the city of Skingrad along the Gold Road. As always, you can fast travel to Skingrad by default in Oblivion Remastered, so either head there or possibly to one of the Oblivion Gates that surround the city if you've explored those yet.
After traveling from Skingrad, you could head back, as there are plenty of gold-making strategies that you can utilize both in and outside of the city. Moving on, we have the Wayshrine of Arkay up next. This shrine is located northwest of Kvatch and northeast of Anvil, both of which are located along the Gold Road on the far southwestern side of Cyrodiil.
The fastest way to reach the Wayshrine of Arkay is by fast traveling to the Anvil Stables and heading northeast, as you might not have any fast travel points near Kvatch if you haven't progressed the Oblivion Remastered story far enough. The Wayshrine of Akatosh is located just south of the city of Bruma in the northern part of Cyrodiil. The simplest way to reach this shrine is by fast traveling to the Bruma Stables and heading directly south of the city.
Just before you reach the Orange Road, you'll find the Wayshrine of Akatosh nestled in between a couple of snow-covered mountains that are surrounded by trees. The Wayshrine of Julianos is one of the more difficult shrines to find along the Pilgrim's Way. This shrine isn't located near a city, so you'll have to rely on fast travel points you've discovered or make a longer trek to it.
It's located southeast of the Imperial City along the Yellow Road. If you've progressed the Mage Guild questline enough, you will have the Wellspring Cave fast travel point nearby. Go to the exact location our character arrow is in the screenshot above, but the shrine itself is covered by trees, so you need to view it from the right angle to see it properly.
If you're doing these wayshrines in the same order we are, then the Wayshrine of Talos is located just southwest of the Julianos shrine. The Talos shrine is located directly north of the city of Bravil in the southern part of Cyrodiil, but it's not too close to Bravil. Either way you get there, you can find the Wayshrine of Talos just below the "The Nibenay Valley" text on the world map.
Specifically, go right underneath the "ib" in the word Nibenay on the map. Fortunately, the Wayshrine of Zenithar is located much closer to the city of Bravil. Either fast travel to the Bravil Stables or head south from the Talos shrine.
You can find the Zenithar shrine just north of a mine along the Niben Bay lake and at the tail end of the word "Valley" on your map. The penultimate wayshrine in Pilgrimage is the Wayshrine of Stendarr, which is located in between the cities of Bravil and Leyawiin. Fast travel to either one of these cities (go south from Bravil and north from Leyawiin) and find the Stendarr shrine along the main road that connects them.
At the halfway point between the cities, you'll find the Stendarr Shrine just off the road on the western side of it. Finally, we've saved the most arduous shrine for last. The Wayshrine of Kynareth isn't located near any city, as it's found in the middle of nowhere on the far eastern side of Cyrodiil.
The closest city to the shrine is Cheydinhal to the north, but you also have Bravil to the west. If you head from Bravil, you have to cross the Niben Bay. If you head from Cheydinhal, you'll have to traverse over both rocky and watery terrain, so it's truly a dealer's choice decision.
Either way, the Kynareth Shrine is located just to the northeast of a small pond in the Nibenay Basin. You can go to the "s" in the word "Basin" on your map to find the shrine easily. Once you have visited and prayed at all nine wayshrines across the map, your character will begin to glow, and your game will freeze.
After a few seconds, you'll be transported to the clouds and see the Divine Crusader's ghost walking towards you. They explain the next steps of your journey, and after you're done talking with them, you're transported back to the last shrine you visited. The Pilgrimage quest is complete, and you're now onto The Shrine of the Crusader quest in Oblivion Remastered.
This questline ultimately ends in re-establishing the Knights of the Nine, which is a faction that allows you to recruit permanent companions in Oblivion Remastered . Upvote Leave Blank.
