How to Join the Blades in Oblivion Remastered
Joining the Blades is way simpler than joining most other factions. You don’t need to grind out a bunch of missions or prove yourself — just follow the main story until you naturally get the option.
Here’s how it works:
- Play through the main quests until you reach the one called Weynon Priory.
- During this quest, you’ll help escort Martin Septim back to the Priory.
- After you finish the quest, you’ll head to Cloud Ruler Temple.
- Find Jauffre inside and talk to him.
- Make sure to cycle through all the dialogue options — one of them will be the invitation to join the Blades.
Once you say yes, boom — you’re officially part of the Emperor’s elite bodyguards!
You’ll also immediately get access to the Temple’s gear and beds, no extra work needed.
And don’t worry — the Blades don’t have any additional faction quests to bog you down. It’s purely free perks and roleplay flavor from here on out.
