What game would be complete without a set of easter eggs, especially when you’re dealing with a Bethesda RPG based on the Elder Scrolls Franchise? The Oblivion Remastered manages to capture the same comedy lightning with easter eggs and janky interaction with NPCs. Here we will take a look at all the best, memorable easter eggs Oblivion Remastered has brought in the game.
List of Best Easter Eggs in Oblivion Remastered
Oblivion has always been home to some of the memorable easter eggs, the original created way too many to count. The remastered version has brought all the memorable parts of the original to the redefined remastered version. Here are some of the interesting easter eggs found in Oblivion:
Blue Suede Shoes Elvis Presley Reference
You will find the item lying on the desk in the Divine Elegance store in Imperial City. The name of the shoes refers to the song Blue Suede Shoes by Elvis Presley.
Mother’s Head – Friday the 13th Reference
During the quest “What have you been doing, puppet?“, when you enter the Cellar, you will find animal corpses around you with a Mother’s Head, a severed head of a woman, around candles. Referring to the Friday the 13th Part 2 scene.
Jump on My Sword While You Can
A line from Baldur’s Gate II, spoken by Minsc. You will find an NPC saying the same line, “Jump on My Sword While You Can,” during a combat scenario.
Body of a Troll
You will find the troll in the water under the bridge to Leyawiin. If you swim up to the troll’s body, you can grab a letter off his body that says:
“Mee Wurst Troll Evurr
Me Nott Sceary Enuf
Mee Gett Drune an Kil Sellf
Troll Droun”
NPC Voiced by Todd Howard
You will find the NPC in the house named “Door to Todd’s Test House.” You can gain access to the house using “coc testinghall” in the console. If you are playing the game on PlayStation or Xbox, you have to wait, you don’t have access to the area.
Here you will find the NPC “Alban Corinis“, voiced by Todd Howard. Here you can choose from a variety of dialogue from Angry, Fear, Happy, Neutral, and Sad. Todd will offer a different answer based on your dialogue interaction.
Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith Reference
You have to go through the Oblivion gate near Kvatch and head to the shore to the west of the location. You will see a body half-submerged into the lava with its hands reaching towards the land, referencing the ending of Star Wars Episode III.
M’aiq the Liar
A beloved character makes his remastered return in Oblivion. M’aiq the Liar always roams around in Cyrodil, and catching him will be harder. He is wearing a white hood with a silver necklace around his neck.
If you talk to him, he will bring up topics like Fast Travel, Navigation, Crossbows, the Fable video game, and a jab at the people who want Co-Op in the game.
Fight Club Reference
You will find the club near the Anvil docks. When you head inside, you see two NPCs beating each other with a club and a sword. If you kill them, you can loot a note titled “Liturgy of the Duelists” from their body that states:
Speak not of the Duelists
Speak only of the duel
Reference to the movie Fight Club, where the line goes “First rule of Fight Club is you don’t talk about Fight Club.“
Lord of the Rings Reference
During the quest Unfriendly Competition, you will find the book Macabre Manifest on the desk inside Agarmir’s basement. If you read the book, it reads:
Oford Gabings
Gold Ring with Inscription (Cursed?)
If you rearrange the letters in “Oford Gabings”, you will get Frodo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings. You will also get the Ring from The Lord of the Rings by finishing the quest and talking to Thoronir, a trader in the Market District, Imperial City.
Another neat reference to Lord of the Rings comes in the form of a quest – “A Knife in the Dark“, a Dark Brotherhood questline that revolves around assassinating a man sleeping in an inn. The Quest’s name was a chapter in the book written by Tolkien.
Monty Python and The Holy Grail
“Ni..Ni..Ni..Ni..Ni..Ni..Ni..Ni..”
Perhaps you must have heard the line from the classic comedy hit Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Well, now it is your chance to see it by talking to an Argonian Thief in Highcross, Shivering Isles. You will usually find her outside her own house.
She will run around in circles saying “Ni..Ni..Ni..Ni..Ni..Ni..Ni..Ni..”, referencing the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The reference was also present in the original Oblivion. It added a nice touch to the Shivering Isles as it is being ruled by the Daedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath.
“Let Me Do That One Again, ” Woman
Talk to Tandilwe, found inside the Temple of Imperial City, Temple District. She will say the famous line from the original Oblivion:
“Wait a minute. Let me do that one again.“
“The Horror, The Horror” – Apocalypse Now Reference
The famous line by Captain Kurtz, “The Horror, Horror,” can be seen in a crumpled-up piece of paper on a desk in Arkved’s room. All during the questline “Retrieve the Orb of Vaermina from the wizard, Arkved.”. It reads:
The Horror, The Horror
I shall lie here in the dark, waiting for death
