How to Get the Madness Armor Set in Oblivion Remastered

To get the Madness Armor in Oblivion Remastered, players will first have to start the Shivering Isles DLC. Players can start the expansion as soon as they exit the sewer tutorial area, but it's best to level up and gather some strong equipment before stepping into the Shivering Isles.

First, you'll have to head to the Strange Door POI east of Bravil. After some interesting interaction with some NPCs near the door, wait for 24 hours, and then enter the portal to reach the Shivering Isles.

Once you arrive in the area, head to the Crucible and enter the Cutter's Weapons workshop. Talk to Cutter, and she'll hand over a recipe list of gear pieces that can be crafted with Madness Ore. The armor pieces you spot in the list are part of the Madness Armor Set, and you'll need a specific number of Madness Ores in order to craft the Madness Armor.

Where to Find Madness Ores

One of the best places to farm Madness Ores is within the Blackroot Lair, located in the Low Road area in Oblivion Remastered: Shivering Isles DLC. Head inside a lair, and players will discover long and winding connecting caverns filled with Grummite enemies. Take down every Grummite you see while traversing through the cave for a chance to get a Madness Ore.

Keep going further into the cave and take down different variants of the Grummite enemies to get at least 16 Madness Ores. Once you're done, return to Cutter to craft the Madness Armor.

Crafting the Madness Armor Set

After returning to the Cutter weapon shop in Crucible, select the "Forge Armor" option to start crafting the Madness Armor in Oblivion Remastered. You'll need to craft the individual pieces with the specified number of Madness Ores. Here's a breakdown of the cost of Madness Ores per Madness Armor piece.

Madness Boots	2x Madness Ores
Madness Cuirass	5x Madness Ores
Madness Gauntlets	2x Madness Ores
Madness Greaves	3x Madness Ores
Madness Helmet	2x Madness Ores
Madness Shield	2x Madness Ores
