How to Complete Boethia’s Shrine Quest in Oblivion Remastered – Get the Goldbrand Katana
Face off against nine deadly champions in Boethia’s Tournament of Ten Bloods in Oblivion Remastered. Here’s how to survive the fight and earn the legendary Goldbrand Katana.
Boethia, the Daedric Prince of cruelty, competition, and ruthless ambition, is not messing around in Oblivion Remastered. His shrine quest is a full-blown arena showdown where you’ll battle nine other elite warriors in his realm—and if you’re up for the challenge, you’ll walk away with one of the most powerful weapons in the game: Goldbrand, a flaming katana that scorches enemies with every strike.
Let’s break down exactly how to take on Boethia’s challenge, what you’ll face, and how to walk out a champion.
🧭 How to Start the Shrine of Boethia Quest
Boethia’s Shrine is located east of the Imperial City. Before you can start the quest, there’s a special item you’ll need:
- Daedra Heart – These can be looted from enemies like Dremora or Xivilai inside Oblivion Gates. Grab one and bring it as an offering.
Once you offer the heart, Boethia will appear and challenge you to join the Tournament of Ten Bloods—his personal deathmatch for the strongest warriors across Tamriel’s races.
🌀 Entering Boethia’s Realm
Boethia opens a small Oblivion Gate next to his shrine. Inside is his arena, where the real test begins.
Quick Tips Before Entering:
- Save your game right before you enter the portal.
- Equip your best weapons, armor, and healing potions.
- Make sure you have a plan for crowd control or single-target burst damage—you’ll need it.
⚔️ The Tournament of Ten Bloods – All Champions
In this brutal gauntlet, you’ll face nine champions, each representing one of the different playable races. You, as the tenth, round out the set.
Here are the champions you’ll go up against (you won’t fight the one that matches your own race):
- Chosen High Elf
- Chosen Imperial
- Chosen Khajiit
- Chosen Nord
- Chosen Orc
- Chosen Redguard
- Chosen Wood Elf
- Chosen Argonian
- Chosen Breton
- Chosen Dark Elf
Each fighter is well-geared and brings a different combat style to the ring, so adapt your strategy as needed. Be sure to loot their bodies for rare gear, potions, or items to sell after the fight.
🔥 Claiming the Goldbrand Katana
Once all nine champions have been defeated, a portal back to the shrine will open. Return to the surface and speak to Boethia’s statue one last time.
Your reward? The legendary:
Goldbrand Katana
Deals fire damage on every hit and is widely considered one of the strongest one-handed weapons in the game.
Whether you’re slicing through bandits or Daedra, this weapon packs a serious punch and looks awesome doing it.
Boethia’s shrine quest in Oblivion Remastered is a true test of skill, strategy, and preparation. But if you’re up to the challenge, the Goldbrand Katana is absolutely worth the effort.
