Before we tell you how to get the Skeleton Key in Oblivion Remastered, you need to reach Level 10 in the game. This unlocks the quest given by Nocturnal, the Daedric Prince of night and darkness.

Head to the Shrine of Nocturnal, which is located on the north road of Leyawiin. Look for the stone statue of Nocturnal at the shrine. When you interact with the statue, you will hear her voice. She will give you the quest to find the Eye of Nocturnal.

Next, travel to the town of Leyawiin. Inside the town, find Weebam-Na’s House, which is near the middle of Leyawiin.

Before entering, make sure you are in stealth mode. You need to sneak inside and listen to a conversation between two Argonians, Weebam-Na and Bejeen. If you fail to listen properly, leave the house and wait outside for a few hours before trying again.

Listening to their conversation will reveal that the Eye of Nocturnal is hidden inside Tidewater Cave.

Step 3: Explore Tidewater Cave

Tidewater Cave is located south of Leyawiin, near Topol Bay. When you enter the cave, be ready to face a hostile Kalperklan Troll and a Dire Wolf.

Inside the cave, take the first left, then the next left again. You will find a water-filled area where the Eye of Nocturnal is hidden underwater. Dive in and pick up the Eye.

Step 4: Return to the Shrine of Nocturnal
