Hircine is a Daedric Prince who is known as the Master of Beasts, and the Lord of the Hunt in Oblivion Remastered. Befitting his title, he'll send players off on a hunt for his amusement, but also to test their might. You'll be required to slay a mythical beast and bring back its trophy as an offering to Hircine, who'll then reward you with a shiny new light-armor cuirass called "
Saviour's Hide." Let's check out how you can complete the Shrine of Hircine quest and get the reward.
Oblivion Remastered: How To Equip Horse Armor (Standard & Deluxe)
Players can outfit their purchased horse with either the standard armor or the deluxe edition armor in Oblivion Remastered, here's how to do it.
How to Start the Shrine of Hircine Quest in Oblivion Remastered
This shrine is part of the Blood of Daedra main quest in Oblivion Remastered.
Players can find Hircine's Shrine to the south of Imperial City in Oblivion Remastered. But before you head there, you'll need to get either a wolf's pelt or a bear's pelt. Both can be acquired either by hunting the two creatures or simply buying their pelts from a merchant. Once you have acquired one pelt from any of the two animals, head to the Shrine of Hircine and offer it to the statue.
Hircine will commune with players and task them with a hunt for his amusement. He'll ask players to find the Unicorn that runs wild in the Harcane Grove and bring its horn as an offering to him. With the task at hand, players will now set off to hunt the unicorn.
Completing Hircine's Task & Getting Saviour's Hide Cuirass
After arriving at the Harcane Grove, players will spot the Unicorn in a clearing, surrounded by three Minotaurs. If you unsheathe your weapon close to the Unicorn, it'll become hostile and start attacking alongside the Minotaurs.
You'll need to first aggro all the Minotaurs and gradually lure them away from the Unicorn. Once you're far enough, ready your weapon and make quick work of the Minotaurs. After taking care of the Minotaurs, run back to the Unicorn and slay it with your weapon. Now, loot its body to get the Unicorn's Horn, and return to the Shrine of Hircine.
Offer the Unicorn's Horn as a hunting trophy to Hircine, and he'll reward players with the Saviour's Hide, an enchanted light-armor cuirass that provides 25% magic resistance to players. It's a pretty good armor to wear, especially if you're going against enemy mages in Oblivion Remastered.
