Discover how to locate, infiltrate, and loot Bravil’s notorious Skooma Den in Oblivion Remastered—without alerting the guards.
The Skooma Den in Bravil is a hangout spot for the city’s greatest skooma appreciators, with illustrious figures such as J’zin-Dar, R’vanni, and Reistr the Rotted discussing current events inside. The den is the best spot in Cyrodiil to quickly procure a motherlode of skooma if you know where to look. Let us take you through a step-by-step process to find, enter, and pilfer the Skooma Den for all it’s worth.
Where is the Skooma Den in Oblivion Remastered?
The Skooma Den is located at the heart of Bravil, opposite the Warlock’s Luck. From the Bravil Castle fast-travel location, turn around, cross the bridge, and head into town. The first shop you’ll come across will be Warlock’s Luck, easily identifiable thanks to its hanging signpost. When standing in front of the Warlock’s Luck, climb the stairs opposite to it, and you will find the door to the Skooma Den on your right.
How To Enter the Skooma Den
You have to break into the Skooma Den since it is always locked, and its residents remain inside regardless of the time of day. This is a change from the original game, where the Skooma enjoyers would often be out and about. In the remaster, you will have to pick a hard lock to reach them inside.
The key to picking the lock is to listen to the sound of pins clicking in a higher pitch. You can also refer to our guides on lockpicking and finding lockpicks. Before you start picking away at the lock, be careful that you aren’t seen by any guards, or they will follow you inside to arrest you. Therefore, it is best to save the game before you try breaking into the Skooma Den.
How To Loot Skooma from the Skooma Den
Once you are inside, you have hit the Skooma jackpot. There is a total of 41 Skooma between all the residents and a chest. The chest is to the right side of the entrance, and all the residents stand around it in the living room. Here is the distribution:
- Chest: 3 Skooma
- Reistr the Rotted: 5 Skooma
- J’zin-Dar: 10 Skooma
- R’vanni: 8 Skooma
- Roxanne Brigette: 15 Skooma
It is amusing to see that the caretaker, Roxanne Brigette, has the most Skooma among everyone present. She is also the only one who will report a crime to the guards, meaning you can pickpocket everyone else without consequence.
To pickpocket successfully, your Sneak skill needs to be pretty high. Incidentally, pickpocketing the residents continuously is a great way to power-level Sneak. If you cannot pickpocket the whole batch of Skooma in someone’s inventory, try taking a few bottles at a time.
Alternatively, you could also massacre the whole bunch and call it a day for a quicker but riskier approach. Target Roxanne Brigette first, since she is liable to report you to the guards. Then, take down the rest one at a time; they are unlikely to put up much of a fight. The residents of Bravil will probably thank you for the act under their breath.
