How I Completed Oblivion 100% (Champion of Cyrodiil Challenge Recap)

- We completed The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 100%... and here's how we did it! 🔥
A little look back at the journey we've been on, with tips, tricks and resources for anybody mad enough to follow in our footsteps.
In the Champion of Cyrodiil Challenge I got 100% game completion while playing on the hardest difficulty. I did every quest, cleared every dungeon and mastered all skills. I made a custom set of rules for the challenge which made the task more daunting, and I avoided abusing powerful exploits. My character was a Breton battlemage named Marina Mistfire.

This video has been a long time in the making, enjoy the 50 minute recap of our Champion of Cyrodiil series! 🔥🔥🔥
I remember playing oblivion playing as a khajiit nightblade searching for his ancestors and it was awesome series dark
Since you finished everything in main base game Oblivion. Are you going to 100% complete both the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles DLC addon expansions also?
@@johnsimpson3419 Correct! That's what I'm now doing in the Champion of DLC Challenge 😊
I know I am quite off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch new series online?
Love the looks of this run, I'm also going through a similar run in my own game of Oblivion, with the standard 100% guidelines, but I've also added at least two additional rules to the mix. "Play Yourself" and "Collector".
With the first rule, I pretty much have to play myself as in I can only play as human characters. No elves, orcs, or lizard people. Just Imperial, Nord, Breton, and Redguard. Next, your birthsign is determined by your own birth date. So for example, I was born on a December, meaning that my birthsign would be the Thief. Lastly for your class, you can't make a custom class. You can only choose one of the given classes, for me I chose to be a Sorcerer given my playstyle.
The second rule is that I must collect ALL multi-enchanted loot and apparel, including all unique Dremora weapons. Some of these items will only spawn at certain levels, such as "The Robe of Glib Tongues" already being able to spawn at LV 1 while "The Shortsword of the Fang" spawns at LV6. Not only that but I must also collect the unique leveled loot such as "The Robes of the Apprentice" at its highest tier it being at LV10. The only exception to this rule are the unobtainable uniques such as the Emperors Robes, Shimmerstrike, Gray Aegis and so on. If you can't get them normally in game without exploits or glitches, then you're free to ignore them.
You did it by having equal amounts godlike willpower and complete insanity.
And amazing support 🔥💪
You really do need that to do the things Dark did lol
Sheogorath would be proud
AND CHEESE!
Takes after Unlce Sheo I see
Can't believe I was watching this back in high school and finished this series while I'm in university. It makes me real happy to see this series and this channel in general constantly there in my life, you're a legend.
It's been a ride, thanks for being along for it!
He is the embodiment of "Completing all quests before completing the story"
Yes 😂
"I fought mud crabs more dangerous than you" gets a completely new meaning 🤣
Several years ago I was 18 and living on my own I worked early in the morning I was very broke and my favorite escape was oblivion and I decided to “100%” the game, I did all the quests I cleared every location and got all the achievements and a bunch of other things. It’s still one of my favorite gaming experiences I’ve done thus far. I still go back and play and it doesn’t get old
Happy to hear you had that experience!
Same
Ive been playing this game since i was 11 and now 23, glad to say that i still play and enjoy it to this day i have put countless thousands of hours into oblivion 😌
I remember having a playtime of 540 hours on a single character and completed it 100%. I play extremely slow paced and immersion is everything for me. Although I love to remember this time I can't enjoy oblivion anymore. RIP my character - Robert de Sable
That's impressive!
I play through oblivion every year or so, i dont always 100% the game but I usually max all stats and main skills, and by max i mean natural 100 in every stat including luck.
It's funny that your character is named Robert de Sable, bc my current character that I'm trying to FC the game on is named Salahaddin lol
what race and class did you make him?
@@IAreSmeegooI couldn’t stand that mega grind. I ain’t autistic enough.
This is awesome. It looks so professionally done, your time spend on it definitely shines through.
Thank you, Deina 💜
This is, hands down, your most professional video.
you are the son todd howard wishes he had
How many hours... Oh god. This was amazing, you've done something so impressive and it has inspired me to finish more things in my life, something I haven't been great at.
If it can have that effect on someone, I'm really glad!
pee
Oblivion is my fav game of all time. I've owned 10 or so different copies from the base game to every edition there is through ps3 360 GOG and steam. I'd say I've sunk in around 10000 hours the vast majority of which come from my younger teens. I loved playing that game every day I was obsessed with it I did literally every single quest collected and stored every item in the base game and the DLC/plugins. I spent a lot of time on the UESP. I loved decorating the Skingrad home with the many artifacts I acquired. By the end of it, all my saves were utterly broken the game would take a really long time to load and crashes were a constant. I wouldn't take back those hours they were well spent
It's great that the game allows for such completion 💜
The effort put into this is mind blowing! Makes me want to start playing Oblivion again. Thank you for creating this!!
That's the effect I wanted to have, so glad to hear it! 😊
I just found your channel in my recommended videos, this is a great achievement - looks like I've got 252 videos to watch now 🙂
Enjoy, Christopher! Glad to know the video is reaching out to those interested! 😊
that young tiny dark in the beginning is adorable :}

49:58 You could also use the Damage/Drain Stamina spell/Enchant effect.
Oblivion has this systeme that a NPC stamina can go lower than 0, and its also used to calculate stagger, once a NPC reach -100 Stamina, they simply fall "unconcious" meaning they are Paralyzed for a couple of seconds( up to 10 iirc), and they will get up ONLY once their stamina reaches back 0/+1, meaning that unless an enemy as immunity to stagger( wich i don't recall any having it, but its been a while since i played), if you keep hitting them with the Drain/Damage Stamina, they will stay down.
Truly amazing friend! This game always has a special place in my heart as my first experience with a RPG. Never had 100% it but did spend a large portion of my life throwing away hours and hours of this game. Thank you for this experience.
You deserve every bit of exposure you get, and at least about 500% more for the effort you put in every single video you upload
💜💜💜
a truly inspiring series. i've been watching RUclips since 2011 and this is by far the longest playthrough i ever stuck thru. so amazing man, been watching you for like 6 years. so proud of how far you've come. keep creating man. you're a champion
... of Cyrodiil 🔥 Thanks for the support!
This is awesome
You should try Lefave Bros Oblivion play through
I was actually here for the start of this series! Back when i got oblivion in 2016. You helped me love it so thank you
I almost cried at the end.
Tks for all the hard work and let's continue on this magical adventure.
Hugs from Brazil!
Thanks for the hugs, Bianca 💜
I'm sharing this with all my friends.
You put so much work into that series, honestly so excited to see what you do next.
Stay tuned! 😁
You'd think this video would make me want to play Oblivion, but for some reason it really makes me want to play Morrowind.
50mins exactly for the video length is weirdly satisfying
The fact that this video only has 4K views is a crime, this is such high quality content! It's so well edited, and your passion for this challenge and your character shines through. Genuinely amazing content, you're bound to blow up eventually!
That means a lot, Michael! I put love into the video, so I'm glad it shows 😊
@@VoicesFromTheDark a year on this is still criminally slept on
@@HelloHelloe It seems to be gaining more traction these last few weeks, so that's fun! 😁
@@VoicesFromTheDarka year later, from a year later this is still criminally slept on
Al though I am sad the challenge is over. It being something I looked forward to every time I saw a new episode in my Sub box for the last 4 years made this series something special to me and myself and people I showed the series to over the last 4 years some finding it to drawn out and some loving that sexy voice of yours and even more sexy beard of yours dark. Being a darkling for 7 and a half years has been rewarded by a series I will properly put on my “re-watch ones a year list.” next to
Millbeeful's Katawa Shoujo series. Even though the channel has not exploded like you with all rights deserve. I think It allows for something more of a commutative way to the creator. Random finger movements aside. I thank you a lot for something truly amazing.
Thank you for being a part of the journey, Cymo, and for sharing it with others 💜
What an amazing video. Criminally underviewed. Kudos my man. Kudos.
i found your playthrough when you were already around episode 200, never got through it all, it's a lot to binge honestly haha. Glad you finally finished!
That's understandable! Thanks!
Absolutely amazing! I spent 232 hours completing the Witcher 3: every quest, side quest, Witcher contract, achievement, all gear, all mutagens, every potion, bomb, decoction and max level. Maybe some other stuff too I can’t remember it all but I loved every second and seeing how much you enjoyed this has made me want to watch all 250 episodes and I can’t wait for the DLC!! Keep them coming amigo!
This is one of the greatest videos in elder scrolls history.
This video is FANTASTIC. Congratulations and well done!
Thank you, I appreciate it 😊
Oh my god. I have watched you since I was barely in middle school. Im just so amazed that you’re still going strong, I’ve always loved this channel and I remember season of khajor. I’ll always love this channel for making my childhood a little more special with all of your voices and acting. I’ll still always be waiting for season 3 khajor to finish.
Here’s hoping this is seen, let’s find out lol. I can’t wait to find out ha!
Wow I'm an Oblivion nerd and even this kinda of challenge would drive me insane! This is an amazing accomplishment! The algorithm just suggested this to me so hopefully you'll get even more views - you certainly deserve them for your effort.
Side note: I wonder if this is even possible in Morrowind? It might be too easy with exploits and some of the OP items. Another issue is that many of the guilds and factions quests interfere with each other. I'm actually curious to experiment now that I've seen this video.
Thank you for the kind words!
As for Morrowind, I foresee it being more difficult due to mutual exclusivity, but I faced the same issue in my on-going Savior of Skyrim series. There I had a system where if one quest excluded another (Imperial vs Stormcloak, Dawnguard vs Vampire, etc.), I could mark the locked quests as "uncompletable". This would then remove them from the total amount of quests I had to complete, so I could still technically complete every* quest, but the * means it's technically every *completable* quest.
Probably a bit too much of a ramble, but it goes to show that it's an interesting dilemma!
Man i wish this got way more recognition cause this has to take so much willpower. I always play this way.. well expect the hardest difficulty part. Good job :)
The video seems to be getting more views lately, so it seems it's being shared around 😊
Me too, at beginning I was like "but this is normal por an rpg isn't it?" because I always play like this. I devoted day after day fro Oblivion specially and made every quest, cleared all the map and found all nirnroots (for like half of them I didn't use a map but later on I needed because they were outside any route I was taking). Wasn't on higher difficulty though because I'm very bad at any videogame lol
The most gorgeous and passionate video documentary I’ve ever watched thank you for this journey 😎👍
You're welcome! 😊
An amazing journey, with an amazing recap ^^ I hope it gets some traction!
Can't wait for the DLC's ^o^
Thank you, Maron! 😁💜
Loved this guide , I,ve been playing video games a while now due to a injury , I love to complete and build these characters and dealing with challenges, I appreciate this guides, thank 😊 u
You are very welcome! 😊
wow really underrated video. great job and thank you for the content, i was really entertained
Thank you, Kurt! Glad to hear you liked it!
Only took about half a year with breaks to get though, one of the most entertaining playthroughs ive ever watched! 🎉
I’m astonished! I can’t wait for you to start the dlcs!
They'll be coming real soon 😁
This is such a well made video man! Loved it and love oblivion…. My first RPG as well
One of the best videos I've ever seen. Anyone should watch it. I think it would teach a lot about:
- Progression
All the videos leading up to this recap.
- Goal crafting & Structure
A series with specific goals in mind, and a way to go about achieving them.
- Marketing
Doing a recap of all those videos.
- Analysis & Tracking Progress
Excel for the quests, gates, nirnroot map... Keeping goals in focus through all those videos is huge.
Not even mentioning all the research you had to do, and the effort you had to put in to get through this challenge.
This was such an awesome series! I enjoyed it a lot :)
I am glad you did 💜🔥
Hey VoicesFromTheDark, I hope you are able to read this comment!
I just wanted to say I love this video and it even inspired me to do my first playthrough if Oblivion! I am looking forward to seeing the recap video for the 100% DLC and Skyrim challenges!
This is pretty awesome. 4 years is crazy, I actually wanted to try and complete Oblivion 100% with zero kills, but after seeing this I cant put that much time into it, lol. Great video!
What a beautiful video, Oblivion was my first real Rpg. To see such a dedication towards it… 😢 Good Job Mate 😸
This channel needs way more attention like that series is just mind blowing
I appreciate that! 🔥😊
This was an amazing video and wish it was longer! You did an excellent job preparing then overcoming the obstacles. Thank you for sharing your journey =)
I wish there were mods to reduce the need for quicksaves to complete these or to add flavor/utility to things to make it more advantages to acquire them other than completionist reasons. Like removing quick travel except through specific ways like only if you have bought the house in that city can you add a waypoint to travel between houses. Then have the skill books all be in fixed locations near the unique monsters that have added abilities to better defend these desired items. Add a Nern Root tracking spell that either points you in the direction of the nearest one or has any in the area shine brighter.
I remember watching my brother playing Oblivion and later me playing while he watched. Only good memories
Huge video!! Huuge, finally came in my recommendations 🎉 Oblivion with some Morrowind music? Im sold ❤
Woah bro I just check up on this again after like a year of not seeing it and I wondered if you ever completed it, congratulations for this man, I applaud your dedication to this series you deserve so much more subscribers. Have a good Christmas from Australia.
Sorry for the late response, but thanks for the support, Josh!
This video was amazing, it made my day. Thank you
This deserves alot more attention. Seriously impressive!
Thank you, Tanner!
Really impressive run. Gets me wanting to play Oblivion again!
Amazing narration, very well done!
I just discovered your channel, great video i was hooked from start until finish my mind is crazy today so this was great to watch to take some focus of the darkness
Super happy to hear that! Hope you're doing better now.
Great video,
I really love Oblivion
Great video!! Can't wait for the DLC!
Coming very soon 🔥
Yay! DLC play-through coming. Good, as I never played those quests. Hype!
Hype! Lots of new content for me to do also!
I completed oblivion 100% on a melee character. The best weapon in the game was a perfect amber warhammer, enchanted with drain health 100pts for 2 seconds. Fatigue was a massive part of the melee combat, so you would need to have a restore fatigue potion active at all times. 101% reflect damage also helped, but I didn't go for 100% spell resistance/reflection as i liked picking up as much stuff as i could and selling it, to see how much money i got in the end. I completed all quests (including the test quest in the Todd Test Land) and closed all 50 random gates. The oblivion gates give a boatload of money at higher levels, and also give you bloodgrass, which at 100 alchemy can be used to make powerful chameleon potions that makes the dark brotherhood and theives guild quests a cakewalk on any playstyle.
Now, what's amazing, is that I actually did this challenge four times. The first time was on ps3 and my save just corrupted and the game wouldnt load after loading it, and I lost about 150 hours of my life. The second time was on my first laptop, a really shitty machine that could barely handle oblivion (i played with only textures at max and distant land on, everything else on mimimum, and grass off) but I did everything there. All quests done. All gates closed. And every location explored. When i had done all quests, i turned myself into a vampire for the extra strength, and also focused on it with the oghma infinium, so my strength was around 130ish if i remember correctly. I also enchanted all my armor with feather so my carry weight was somewhere around 1300. I'd explore a few places, loot everything until i was almost over encumbered, come back and sell all my stuff to the Wizard's Tower merchant. It actually became very lonely. It was eerie, going into all these long abandonded places with no motive other than curiosity. I used console commands to bring Ushnar's dog to cyrodiil to keep myself company. Eventually I did it all though, I explored every location in the game, and when I finished I did the vampire cure quest as my final act on that character. It ended up with about 213 hours of playtime and 6 million gold to my name.
Now pure vanilla oblivion is something I can never do again. I love cryodiil, and I love exploring it, but the combat at high levels is broken as all hell. So I decided to play it modded. I'd add in a few mods to mix up the gameplay but still add in new things and quests, and consider those a part of the checklist for 100%ing. And I did 100% it again, twice. Kind of. First was Elfied the Eternal, which I did all the base game + the quests added in by OOO. I closed all 50 gates and did lots of exploring (with a mod to keep track of where i've explored) but got kind of bored by the time I was about to start SI, as I had just learned about TTW and I wanted to try that.
The second modded playthough I'm still technically playing, but I took a break to play skyrim around the time Skyrim Together Reborn came out. This second modded playthough I went all out with a FCOM install, plus better cities and unique landscapes, and I've done every single quest added by those mods in the base game, plus cleared all gates. I'm halfway through SI right now on that character, and I'm 300 hours in.
Oblivion is perhaps one of my favorite games of all time, the art style and the world is really magical and has captured my imagination far more than Skyrim or Morrowind has. With what you said about always taking a break from characters to try another, I completely resonate with it. When I play a game, except oblivion and Thief 2, I hyper fixate on it and think about nothing but it for a month or so until I complete it or lose interest. With Oblivion, it's always on my mind and I'm never quite so invested in it, and it strangely makes the game more magical. Anyway, I don't know why I wrote this essay, but I enjoyed the video. :D
man oh man. I´m sooo looking forward to starting the DLC challenge!. I also plan on doing my own skyrim completionist run by my own rules. And oh boy I hope you pull through in skyrim the same way you did in oblivion! Keep it up Dark!
I wish you good luck on that! 😁
@@VoicesFromTheDark Thanks I will need it :D
I was their the day you started your play threw! Or when you uploaded it.... I watched 60 episodes till i moved on. Finally an episode to recap half what i witnessed! 🤙
Enjoy! 😁
Watched this while grinding in starfield, What a great video!
fantastic vid happy it showed up on my feed :-)
Loved this !
I just want to say that I think it's cool that you 100% this game that's a lot of hard work and dedication
how epic was that intro.. perfect timing with the lighting :D
Thank you!
RUclips recommended me the video. Yeah I think I found my next back ground noise/series to watch for the next 16 years!
This is one of the most impressive feats in gaming I've ever seen. You are quite the dude, bro.
As supportive as always, Jessa 💜
Alright, time to play some Oblivion again, you have inspired me Dark! And since there is nothing much to do irl, why not eh ? Also, looking forward for the DLC! Keep the great work a stay safe.
Good luck on your journey! 😁
i wish i had the wit to engage in that project! Amazing work and great video!
i am mostly impressed at how you comitted to efficient leveling/not doing level-ups. it saps a lot of fun out of the game for me
Awesome video! Good job
This was fascinating and inspiring stuff, really enjoyed it. Have a sub :)
I appreciate it! 😊
Nice challenge and good video. I set about doing a 100 skill/stat (including luck) challenge years ago. It died once I broke the back of the challenge and reached the easy to control grinding of the end stage. But the save still exists and so do the hand written logs of skills and levels that I was keeping. Maybe I'll pick this back up and give it a final push. All I really need is a several hundred episode series to watch while I do it.
Well done man!
By far the most amazing and greatest RUclipsr.
Thank you, Chris! 😁
Geez it’s been a long time I hate to see it go I will miss it a lot but you did it idk how you do it love you dark
Good thing the story will continue as we do DLC 🔥
i love how some humans in life struggle to find a driving force of a challenge irl so they put upon themselves those ridiculous challanges in game. (dunno if that's ur case exactly but i'm just sayin) It takes a huge ammount of self discipline and conscientiousness to bore yourself so much and youtube makes it a profitable undertaking. You earn money playing games i get to watch a ridiculously cool story that wouldn't have happened irl so THANK YOU A BUNCH for beeing who you are.
this vid deserves more recognition bruh nice workkkkk
Thank you!
This whole channel is just so underrated
You are too kind! 💜 Enjoy your stay :D
In the end actually impressive the amount of content there was in this game. Repetitive for some part but still quite a filled world.
What a spectacular video man
Much appreciated 😊
Its awesome to see people still playing these games! Oblivion was my first Bethesda game so it will always have a soft spot in my heart! Also have you checked out Enderal or Nehrim? They are mods for TES4 & 5 which essentially turn both games into completely new games! Highly recommend if you haven't checked them out!
What a wonderful look back at the journey. And what an oblivion of a journey it was, 250 episodes, from poor little mudcrabs to shaking the foundations of the realms themselves. And now we're finally on to the DLC, from something as simple as getting armor on an old nag, to facing down the gods themselves. And winning. Because it's Marina Mistfire. The single strongest champion in Nirn and beyond!
Oh yeah! 🔥
all of these crazy challenges seem to start in winter
what an amazing season, to be able to drive people to the brink of insanity only to find some outlet for them to pour it into
You have a good point 😅
I'm gonna replay skyrim thanks for the encouragement
Nice video. Very underrated.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
You cook a mean video. Hard-subscribed in the first few minutes.
Thank you so much! 😊
Wow, great job sir! Magnificent beard aswell!
Thank you 😊
I absolutely LOVE how Sean Be- Martin is always exploited in this game just because he's an essential companion
Dark this is exciting!!!
I know 😁
Watching stuff like this harkens days back when you did Godfather and F.E.A.R. It is crazy how much you've grown.
I first played the game when it was released. Then I played it again a couple of years later trying to do what you have done keeping score of the skill advances manually. It was painful. I started again last year but left it. never thought of mods that help. Congrats for the achievement.
Thank you! And yeah, the efficient leveling is a game in and of itself...
Next challenge idea: The Champion of the Elder Scrolls? Play through every ES game using her character - or at least Morrowind and Skyrim? Maybe don’t attempt them 100%, but it is fun to play a character through the series.
As for “collecting every general book”, that is almost possible, but you can’t KEEP every book as some are obviously quest items. You could still collect the rest and just store them all in a container somewhere.
It's definitely an interesting idea to think of your character as a time traveler jumping from era to era! 😁
I'm glad ur doing elder scrolls again
🧓📜
Dark, you truly are, the Champion.
... of Cyrodiil 🔥
Having put hundreds of hours into Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim back on console when they came out, I absolutely loved them. Then after building my first PC near the end of 2013 I put even more hundreds of hours into modded Morrowind and Skyrim, but not Oblivion. It just never felt as good to mod as the others even though it held most of my hours on console.
Seeing this video with the minimal mod list(and spreadsheets, glorious spreadsheets!) has inspired me to give it another go on PC. Maybe even on the hardest difficulty.
I'm so glad to hear that, hope you enjoy!
Great video!
I never comment on anything, after binging your series over the last couple of months! All I have to say is RIP Apprentina, I laughed so hard when she jumped off the cathedral.
