Oblivion Remastered Akaviri Katana

Becoming a member of Blades in Oblivion Remastered is extremely simple. Although this option becomes available during the story quests, you do not have to do it to beat the game. But you should definitely join Blades in Oblivion Remastered, at least because it has no downsides at all.

Even if you are a member of another or several factions, you can join this one without any restrictions. As a reward, you will be given the Akaviri Katana, which is worth it. In addition, players will have access to the entire territory of Cloud Ruler Temple, so you can sleep there and loot all the chests. Inside them, you can find various items, including the Blades armor set.

So, when you are offered to join Blades in Oblivion Remastered, you should not refuse, at least for the sake of free loot.

How to Join Blades in Oblivion Remastered

Oblivion Remastered Cloud Ruler Temple

Most factions require you to complete quests before you can join them, as well as subsequent quests to advance in rank. Luckily, with Blades, things are much simpler, as you just need to follow the story quests in Oblivion Remastered:

  1. Follow the story quests until you reach the Weynon Priory quest.
  2. During this quest, you need to return Martin to the Priory.
  3. Once the quest is complete, find Jauffre in the Cloud Ruler Temple and talk to him.
  4. Try all the dialogue options, as one of them will be an invitation to join Blades in Oblivion Remastered.

Once you accept Jauffre's invitation, you will become a member of the Emperor's elite bodyguards and receive well-deserved weapons with permission to loot in the Cloud Ruler Temple as well. It is also worth noting that Blades does not have any faction quests, so you will not have to spend much time on this.
