How to Get Specific Sigil Stones Using the Sigil Stone Exploit

Want a specific Sigil Stone enchantment in Oblivion Remastered? Here’s how to use the Sigil Stone exploit to farm the exact effect you want, plus a mod alternative for PC players.

How to Get Specific Sigil Stones in Oblivion Remastered (Exploit Guide)

In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Sigil Stones are some of the most powerful enchantment tools available. They grant high-tier Defensive or Offensive enchantments and are key for enhancing weapons, armor, and gear. However, the enchantment on each Sigil Stone is randomized when you remove it from its pedestal—but that randomness can be exploited.

This guide walks you through how to manipulate Sigil Stone effects to farm the exact enchantment you want, like Chameleon, Fortify Magicka, or Absorb Health. Also know All Athletic Skill Book Locations.

🎲 How Sigil Stone Generation Works

When you reach the top of an Oblivion Tower and pull the Sigil Stone, the game randomly selects one of many possible effects. Normally, you’d just accept the result and move on—but due to the way the randomization works, you can force the game to re-roll the effect by loading a save before picking up the stone.

⚙️ Steps to Use the Sigil Stone Exploit

🪜 Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Reach the Sigil Stone pedestal at the top of an Oblivion Gate.
   
   • Don’t pick it up yet.
     
2. Make a Quicksave right in front of the Sigil Stone.
   
   • PC: Press F5 to quicksave.
     
   • Console: Pause the game, go to Options > Save, and create a manual save.
     
3. Remove the Sigil Stone.
   
   • You’ll get a pop-up saying it’s been added to your inventory.
     
4. Before the gate closes, open your Inventory > Misc tab.
   
   • Locate the Sigil Stone and inspect its enchantments via the item details pane.
     
5. Check the effects:
   
   • If they’re not the ones you want, reload your quicksave:
     
     • PC: Press F9 to quickload.
       
     • Console: Pause > Load Game > Select your previous quicksave.
       
6. Repeat the process until you get your desired enchantment.
   

📝 Why This Works:
The game generates the Sigil Stone’s effect upon pickup, not upon entering the room or saving—so you can re-roll the result infinitely by reloading your save right before grabbing it.

🌟 What Are the Best Sigil Stone Effects?

Some of the most sought-after Sigil Stone effects in Oblivion Remastered include:

💻 Alternative for PC Players: Use the Sigil Stone Selector Mod

If you’d rather skip the grind, the Sigil Stone Selector mod is available for Oblivion Remastered (PC only). It allows you to choose from all Sigil Stone effects instead of relying on RNG.

• ✅ No achievements are disabled by using this mod
  
• ✅ Great for time-saving or highly specific character builds
  

📦 You can find this mod on NexusMods or other major Oblivion modding hubs.

✅ Final Tips

• Bring a few Fortify Luck potions or items if you believe in influencing RNG (no hard evidence, but it can’t hurt)
  
• Use multiple quicksaves if you’re also trying to farm loot at the same time
  
• Consider using Sigil Stones only on unenchanted gear—you can’t combine them with other enchantments
  
• Higher-level Oblivion Gates = stronger Sigil Stones. Wait until level 17+ to farm maximum-tier stones
  

By using this method, you can turn Sigil Stone farming from a gamble into a guaranteed win, making your gear setup far more powerful and customized for your playstyle.
