  • A much easier and perhaps too easy way which is what I love about oblivion is to use the sigil stones from oblivion gates. If you don't know you can just save before you take a sigil stone at the end of an oblivion gate and keep loading until you get the one with the effect you want. You can just use the stone to enchant the item and give it the effect of the stone. You don't even need an altar. If combined with duplication this can make the game alot easier and you can get 100% chameleon.

  • This guide also applies to Skyrim in a way. Only difference are potion and enchantment enhancements.

  • You can go to a blacksmith to repair and someone in one of many mages halls have a person u pay to recharge... you can also recharge with soul gems by clicking on them while in ur thing

  • When are you gonna make skyrim videos?

  • can you disenchant

  • I still play Oblivion =P

  • how do you repair things like the umbra sword? or how do they get their charge back

  • cool guide helps

    

  • I have everything you told me to get; A filled grand soul gem, a plan item, a LOT of gold, and a spell, well, the spell i'm using is a chameleon 25% on self, I bought it off the vendor and equiped it on, but I don't have enough magika to use it. But you said you don't need the proficiency to cast the spell, so, when I went to the Chironasium and the enchanting altar, I put my item up and a filled grand soul gem, but to my suprise, all that came up were Light and Fire damage, not chameleon!

  • @mapleending55

    OK I feel like an idiot but you do need to know how to cast the spell

    I'm really sorry for not getting my info straight there

  • any chance we will see any skryim guides?

  • @Linkthe1st I heard GOTY Deluxe has every DLC, including wizards tower.

  • @PivotCommando

    It does not.

  • is it only hi def in pc like that bcz my oblivion isn't that high def

  • @devastation134

    A console game's PC counter part will ALWAYS look better.  It's just a matter of weather or not the computer can run the game at higher settings.

  • *hears intro quote*

    Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

  • You help me so much! I love you! (no homo)

  • ...That quote at the very start of the intro was...

    ._.

  • Your voice is... AMAZING.

  • skyrim dragon on the gold coin :)

  • can you capture a human soul inside the azura's star?

  • @TheWorldofnoob no only non human grand and below souls.

  • link why didnt you mention azura's star,if it is in oblivion.

  • For some reason when i go to put a enchant on my weapon not going over my black soul gems capacity (so i think) it says this enchant is too strong for this gem, which i just don't get I'm thinking it has something to do with the two icons in the top left hand corner that seem to be gauging something but i have no clue what can someone please tell me what they mean.

  • Nice tutorial :)

  • Thanks this helped me a lot! :D

  • my black soul gems dont seem to make items any more powerful than my plain grand soul gems despite having the highest soul level... do you have any advice for making the most of black soul gems?

  • @jackalackb17 Black Soulgems are about trapping Human Souls, ergo it's the easiest to aquire Grand level souls since Bandits are common. Then again if you can trap your summons soul, and with Master Conjuration you can summon creatures with Grand leveled souls (which works excellent with Azuras Star).

    tl;dr It only has RP-value, and is one of the easiest methods to aquire Grand leveled souls other than 100 Conjuration w/ Azuras Star.

  • where can i find a spell to fortify a skill because im trying to enchant stuff like that

  • 430 lik 0 dis. amazing. Never saw such thing before/

  • one of the best tutorials I've seen around, got a way better explanation than the one I thought was going to,......aside the disturbing humor ... it was awesome...

  • nice tutorial ... i don't know how to enchant a weapon in Skyrim !

  • Can I ask though since I've played so little of Oblivion; Are all enchantments on armor Constant Effect? And are all enchantments on weapons Cast On Strike?

    Or is it like Morrowind where there are Cast When Used effects on armor and weapons as well?

  • @RandomEpicUsername

    You got it right in the first description. They scraped the Morrowind system.

  • @Linkthe1st Alright, thanks for the help!

  • @Linkthe1st Link will you do an Enchanting Guide on Skyrim?

  • I think you should have mentioned Azura's Star. The most useful item when it comes to enchanting :D

    Loved the video though

  • It cones on the GOY edition dosn't it

  • @wryip350

    5:21 I say it doesn't for a reason.

  • @Linkthe1st Is it cause of the ps3 version?

  • Noooooooo, why was the most important part of the video sped up so insanely?!

    Overall awesome video though!

  • does wizard tower come in the game of the year addition? or do you have to buy it? somebody please reply

  • @darkstar56ify

    5:21 Yeah, try watching the ENTIRE video before asking questions!

  • @Linkthe1st sorry im deaf :) but do you know how much it costs? and could u please link the site in the description?

  • Funny ending

  • OMG FUCK ON LIVE

  • great intro bro

  • can u put more than one echantment on an item

  • I don't think I've ever seen such a wonderf video on Oblivion! So clear. I rarely use Magica so I think that's why I'm not leveling up. All the teachers are 5/5 anyway. Is that correct? Also, since I've leveled up I have to fight my way down the OGates and the sky is still on fire. Is that normal? Thank you for sharing this.  Ironic as I am now Arge Mage and really don't know how to use the alters effectively. It just took me so long to get the $ I have. lol :) Songs

  • nice guide, cool voice

  • Haha he left out azuras star, only the best soul gem in the game. But whatever amazing video.

  • It isn't so pricy when you got 1000000 coins by paralizing Dorian and pick pocketing him.

  • your videos are so professional.. it sounds like something a paid editor at ign does for a living

  • he spoke so calmly, i was hoping he was eventually going to mess up one of the lines

  • this guy has the golden voice i swear its so sooooothinnnngg

  • do scroll spells work with enchanments

  • good packshots :)

  • Is it possible to unenchant an item? Plz answer

  • do you use bloom or hdr lighting

  • @lvsoad22

    HDR, hence the lack of anti-aliasing for my oblivion vids.

  • does the mages tower come with the goty?

  • @IamDrRocktopus

    5:23

    Watch and listen carefully before commenting please.

  • Is there a way to recharge your magical weapons without paying out the ass for it?

  • @cheesebuyer

    Filled soul gems are two sided. They can be used to make enchanted items, or they can be used to recharge enchanted items. To do the latter just select a filled soul gem from your inventory. You'll then be allowed to choose which weapon you want to use it on.

  • @Linkthe1st Ok, thanks!

  • Can I trap the soul of a Minotaur?

  • can u use collosul black soul gems

  • can you also enchant with black soul gems

  • what you use to make videos?

  • Just wondering why didn't you speak of Azuras star? Its such a helpfull soul gem but sadly cant hold human souls :c

  • rofl necrophilia

  • How do you refill your enchantment?

  • You can also use Azura's star. It's a reusable grand soul gem.

  • How can I load my enchantments? Thanks

  • @TheWezel1995 What do you mean with ''load''??

  • @TheWezel1995 With soul gems

  • Great video, but wouldn't have hurt to mention Azura's star.

  • Nice to knwo people still Play Oblivion

  • Man. Am i the only one to think this guy is the best explainer iv ever heard on youtube? Everything he said was articulated perfectly, easy to folo, and fun to listen to. i subbed the instant he began

  • great vid tho

  • i can think of a wrong way to play the game so everything you said was incoreect

  • I'm curious. Why didn't you mention anything about Sigil Stones used for enchanting? That's actually how I found out I could even manually enchant.

  • GREAT VIDEO

  • may I ask how you got those cool CGI (if they are CGI) effects like the soul gem and the gold and fire :)

  • @WhatsAnimation

    I make them myself in 3DS MAX. I have a full list of programs used in the credits.

  • what an amazing guide! I love the editing, this video is just perfect :)

  • i hear that a person named umbra has a sword that can trap souls

  • @Eclaier1

    Yeah, but Unbra isn't an easy enemy to deal with. If you find her/it, be ready for a real fight unless your a utter god in the game.

  • @Linkthe1st it took me over 50 tries to beat her but it is worth it and recharging it costs a lot of money

  • Can I use more than one soul gem?

  • @underman8000

    Sorry, only one soul gem per enchantment.

  • @Linkthe1st Balls!!

  • is it a first offence? if so its 500 gold

    thats nothing compared to morrowind thanks:D

  • can you reuse a soul gem

  • @shooter9142 no, but the azuras star (correct me if I'm wrong) can hold a soul, and when used it just becomes empty again.

  • am i the only one who noticed the skyrim logo on the gold?

  • @VagPaiNeer no you aren't , and i think that logo is actually on every coin in the game

  • @VagPaiNeer

    It's not specific to Skyrim,it's the symbol of Talos. It's the tails side of coins used in in Tamriel, it's found on every district door in the imperial city, it patterns the floor in white gold tower, and is found in countless other places in the game oblivion alone.

    Talos is used for Skyrim because (of the nine divines), it (he) is a dragon familiar. Since Skyrim involves dragon at the centre of it's story, the use of the Talos symbol makes plenty of sense.

  • @Linkthe1st im assuming more information on this can be found on the wiki?

  • @Fallout3sFinest

    and the imperial library

  • @Linkthe1st sorry im a noob... what's that? :/ you should put these guides into one playlist so they're all in one place :)

  • @Fallout3sFinest

    the imperial library is the most extensive website that has nearly all the elder scrolls lore created for easy and quick reference. It's mostly composed of official transcriptions from official sources.

  • @Linkthe1st you seem to know a hell of a lot more than any other video makers i've seen so any chance you'd do a lockpick guide of sorts? i'm confused as hell as to how to do it properly because everyone seems to just keep hitting each tumbler like a madman until it stays up slightly longer than normal... i have no fucking clue what they're doing between all the "glitches" and "tricks" these people have :c

  • @Fallout3sFinest actually thats all you do with the lockpicking game in oblivion. you keep pushing the tumbler up until it stays in place for a longer period of time. thats when you press your activate button and lock it into place. if the tumbler falls very quickly after you push it up, dont try to lock the tumbler into place, or you'll break the lockpick and screw up the other tumblers. its a matter of patience and reaction time. hope this helped.

  • @S0LiDsnAke36 gotcha. thanks! i find it funny how if you combine the concepts of the torque wrench from fallout 3's lockpick and the tumblers in oblivion thats actually a very close recreation of how you lock pick (tension on the wrench then get the tumblers to go up (except in real life the tension wrench holds the tumblers up with the tension you place on it))

  • I cant create a soul trap i cant find it on my spell maker :(

  • How do you pick what spell you want to use on it?

  • please make video about fallout new vegas ex back.

  • can you use a sigil stone to enchant things?

  • @marcosg1992

    Yes, but you have no control over what type of sigil stone you get.

    Sigil stone = limited number, more powerful, random, free but difficult to get

    Soul gem = Infinite, weaker, controlled effect, costs gold

  • @Linkthe1st Wow thank you so much! Before this guide I didnt know you needed to know a spell to enchant an item with it, or know your soul gems had to be filled lol

  • @Linkthe1st well if you save before taking the stone, and it turns out to be one you dont like, you can load it up and it will be different, then you can use the dupe glitch and get as many as you want, but yes, they are harder to get.... :)

  • this is the only game were I have completed 100% and enjoyed 100%, once i get skyrim it is literally not going to leave my xbox.

  • Comment removed

  • I love this game, I've played the shit outta it and these days I stay away from enchanting, since it does make the game so much more easier. The game is much better if every fight is an epic challenge. Alchemy helps alot 'cause I run from city to city without the stupid lame ass fast travel system.

  • You should REALLY get DarNified UI. It's alot better than the UI that's made for xbox that almost everyone has. It's completely customizable. I don't know if your into modding, but you can get it from that elder scrolls nexus website.

  • @LHGH4x0r

    Actually I do used the DarNified UI. It's just I hate getting tons of questions about what mods I use, and how to put them on consoles (ugh!). Thus I have two separate installs of Oblivion. One that I mod and play leisurely, and one Vanilla that I use for recording.

  • @Linkthe1st Well sorry if it bothered you, but I just wanted you to have a better oblivion experience. And also another tip, you can get something called "Oblivion Mod Manager", OBMM for short, which lets you toggle which mods you have on. You could save HDD space by just having one install and toggling the mods for when your recording. By the way, your videos are AWESOME! Keep up the good work, and looking forward to Skyrim videos!

  • @LHGH4x0r

    I have the OBMM friend, but a lot of mods I use are so large and complex, they require the rewriting of files instead of re-referencing of files. Thus a dual install is the only option.

  • @Linkthe1st O_O Those mods sound pretty intense.

  • the quest for the Azura's Star is at lv 10

  • Thanks for your guides!! My 5th anniversery is arriving thursday and I'm getting as prepared as possible :D

  • the Mages guild quest has glitched up for me, so i can never complete it

  • your vocal presence is amazing

  • nice to see im not the only one that still plays oblivion :D

  • These Oblivion guides are so helpful, the best I’ve seen on youtube. Can you do a video on the best ways of getting large amounts of gold. I’m convinced I’m doing something wrong because my gold has never gone higher than about 2000 and most of the time its spent on repairing my gear and cheap spells. Plus 20,000 for a house? Where are people getting that much gold from? Keep the awesome Oblivion vids coming.

  • @micronoid most people just do the scroll duping glitch on expensive items and sell them for money

  • Liked and faved

  • Do some Morrowind guides!

  • I already knew everything told in the vid, I just watched it because it was enjoyable, like all of you videos. I use Umbra for my soul trapping, but it makes it too easy. Seriously, my mage had multiple armour pieces that all fortified magicka by 24 and a ring that fortified it by 50, I had about 700 magicka, I could cast spells that could kill anything with 1 hit. My main sword had drain health 100. I also had the 100% chameleon and several armour pieces and spells to increase acrobatics lol

  • @capperz412 I recently replaced Umbra with a custom sword with soul trap for one second on strike. This works just as well if you consistently use the same weapon, and it allows for even more enchanting effects.

  • your motion tracking is getting better

  • dude this is perfect i picked up oblivion a couple of months ago and now you're making more videos! im so happy! you're one of my favorite yotubers out there

  • Enchanting in Oblivion sucks. I absolutely loved in in Morrowind, but it's such a pain in the dick to recharge anything, and considering how the interesting weapons die after 10 or so hits, I hardly ever use enchanted weapons and staffs anyways. I am incredibly excited to hear that the enchanting skill will return in Skyrim, being my favorite skill next to alchemy, and I hope to find it's features a blast to use when November arrives.

  • @qwertyb18 my strategy is get azura star, a soul gem that can be used over and over again, and any weapon with the soul trap enchantment. than, you can fight enemies, finish them off with the soul trap enchanted weapon, and use azura's star on either the soul-trapping sword or any enchanted item in your inventory.

  • What about Sigil Stones?

    That's how I enchant my weapons, although I can never really know what I'm going to get until I actually grab the Sigil Stone

  • @thealex220 Grand.

  • Great! now I have to install Oblivion again and spent 2 days modding it :D

  • I have no idea why, but i really couldnt get into playing oblivion, i really dont know why, i love the sound of it, and what theme it is. i also love rpgs, but i just could not get into playing it

  • Hey link how come your coming back to oblivion and not doing other games?

  • @amannate7

    As I said on the visage blog (watch the intro!), I'm interested in riding the nostalgia wave. The idea that people will start picking up oblivion again in anticipation of Skyrim.

    I wanna play Skyrim, but until it's out I'll play Oblivion instead. Y'know "get as close to it as possible".

  • @Linkthe1st hey your right im picking up oblivion for the wait till skyrim, and your guides are super helpful =D

  • @Linkthe1st Agreed!

  • probably should of mention the Azura's Star when you did this guild.

    that item help me out alot enchanting and recharging.

  • @lorence05 what level soul gem is azuras star , if you know ?

  • I never get tired of watching these videos and then reading the comments about your awesome voice xD and im building a new computer soon too ;p

  • goodness, that VOICE!!

  • damn link, u love ur swinging signs

  • Oh, I like the Skyrim Logo on the Gold coin BTW. Great detail!

  • William, what's your new gaming rig going to feature? I'm just interested because I'm a computer nerd :)

  • Can you give me the name of the song used at :36

    Also when Skyrim is released do you know how often and fast you will be releasing guides for the game? Do you think you'll do it along with the game IE: the week after or take more of a Fallout New Vegas or Oblivion approach of waiting a little bit before starting

  • cant wait till next week :]

  • @jaPWNage why?

  • @LOLpeturs he posts weekly

  • @jaPWNage Oh xD

  • Great videos, subscribed. Nice job!

  • YOU ARE BADASS!!!

    Are you gonna do some videos on Deus ex human revolution?

  • I love your videos but you said that it doesn't matter if u can cast the spell u can still enchant items with that spell. I have spells that I can't use and can't enchant with.

  • Comment removed

  • I confuse Visage and Viscant so much haha if you know who that is

  • @MrDannyFC

    Oblivion Skyrim? Which game are you talking about? Those are two separate subtitles for two separate games.

  • you make the best video's period.

  • The intros are badass.

  • Can you and if, how can you fortify magicka?

  • 5 years 4 skyrim.i hope i dont waste my money on other games!

  • is it me or has youtube changed , Nice guide btw.

  • anti aliasing is cool... it's a must for pc-gamers man. How come u don't use it? (for recordings are my guess? Since u ain't that stupid!)

  • @Renax111

    As a PC gamer I've latched onto extremely high FPS as a must. Since AA is the fastest and easiest way to slash your FPS dramatically, I prefer to leave it off.

    That being said I haven't upgraded my rig in years (I intend to rebuild within 2 months), so I'll probably start using AA again once I have a new machine. As it stands though a rig built back in '08 can't really lift a whole lot of weight today.
