@jet769 it might have something to do with level? i know of a fort next to anvil that has high ranking armor, but the rank of the armor depends on lvl
I swear to god this isn't where it was the last two times I found it. It's so weird, I was certain it was sort of north/northwest of that island. I swam around for like 2 hours before I was just like, "screw it, i'll just google it". i thought i was going insane.
i found this today by complete fluke bcause im an argonian and i was thinkin, man i wonder if a dev put an easter egg off this coast behind anvil in the middle of butfuck nowwheres and sure enough like 10 seconds later i found it the helm and so now i have a light armour helm and im only lvl 2 :D
I checked frantically, but problem solved. Reloaded, and next time it was there. I must have accidentally knocked it and sent it rolling or something.
Oh man wtf. I found the skeleton. It was tricky to find because I was expecting to see a glowy thing. There was no fin gleam. :( Unless there's multiple skeletons scattered around the same rock?
its not a rare artifact. its a unique item. artifacts are different in apperance and there is only one of them. and why not wear helmet soon as you get it so you dont have to pump potions?
@ovechkins8n i know.. what im saying is a artifact in oblivion there is only one of. for example the debaser is a sword that looks a certain way, its the only sword in the whole game that looks like that.. where as fin gleam is just a glass helmet.
If you have good willpower (to regen mana faster or use less mana, can't remember) and intelligence, buy water breathing spell, it makes you regen all your breath, then stay at max breath, and when you run out, just use it again until you find it, also, there is a glitch to see all underwater, barely tap up on the joystick (on xbox 360) and it will show all underwater without the water showing, if you see something green using this glitch, go look.
@ForceRecon198 You've probably figured this out by now, but unless you like heavy armor and want the Daedric Helm or something, there's really no need to become a vampire. It has more downs than ups in my opinion.
just re bought this on ps3, played it 300+ hrs 2yrs ago. cant see this vid to find it, no flas player 10 on ps3 yet. i'll look for a description or a pic then, surely sony new the flash 9 would need upgrading, lazy b'stards
hey mate, i understand where it is, west of anvil in the sea, but can you do a full walkthrough where you go from on-shore because i looked for ages and didnt find it, thnx
dumbass we all know where anvil is, you didn't need to use a potion to heal you weren't even hurt, besides just equip the helm when you get it and you can water breathe
Dark Elves rule, 3 of my characters have been dark elves, and they already have a resistance to fire, useful if you go into Oblivion, as well as the ancestor ghost which is useful for the first few levels. Fin Gleam would have definitely helped me with my other characters though :P.
without changing the game, it takes 10 major skill increases to level, if you make a class as horrible as possible, that is, all your major skills aren't increased by anything, the lowest they can be is 25, which means you get 75 increases towards level per skill, you get 7 skills, so, therefore, without changing anything, 52.5 is the MAXIMUM a character can get to, so you CANNOT get a level 256 argonian bard legit.
actaully you can. go to jail multiple times and you will start losing major skills like block and armorer after awhile. the max is 255 you cant get to 256 even with console commands. but without using the shivering isles glitch you can only get to 226.
actually you can and that's the only way is by using console commands and that's how i did it but my 38 is on and x box witch you can't use console commans on
it was super easy to start out with cause i could kill everyone the worst part was after level 6 cause all the enemies were more powerful but i was the same, and plus i became a vampire and also got kicked out of the mages guild so i couldn't do the cure for vampirism cause that ramius palus guy only wanted to talk about how bad i was for stealing or something but after i got dwarven i was good and could pwn anyone relatively easily well not that easily but i could usually
Instead of bothering to rush to the surface after collectign Fin Gleam just equip it as it does water breathing on self. This raises the question of 'how did the guy die if he was wearing the helm?'
I did this by dipping below the surface with the camera, and then diving to find it.
It took forever, and I almost died, but it's worth it! Fin Gleam lights the way through Oblivion and countless dungeon crawls, so it negates tedium with worth.
I went after it after I had the bouyancy spell from one of the mage guild quests. The Jewel of the Rumere is also easy to get, and gives you water breathing. Complete the "Go Fish" quest. You can also try enchanting equipment with water breathing at the arcane university, if you're a member. It's much easier to dive for Fin Gleam when you don't have to worry about air.
i just want to say that this is a REAL thing not a mod i tried on the ps3 and works but when you get it wear it so you dont have to use potions ( if you can wear it underwater) :D
ya I never would have found that in a million years if it wasnt for the vid, A big thanx!! The fin gleam helps big time for breathing underwater its almost a must have item.
thanks alot XD!!!
