Once you reach Level 10, you can obtain the Skeleton Key in Oblivion Remastered by completing the Nocturnal quest. To start the quest, head to the Nocturnal Shrine, located north of Leyawiin. Additionally, you can refer to the attached image for location details. The quest requires you to find and bring the Eye of Nocturnal to the shrine.

Gather Information About the Eye of Nocturnal

To begin the hunt for the Eye of Nocturnal, you will need to gather insight from two thieves located in the Leyawiin region. Once you arrive in town, you will find them inside one of the thieves’ homes, situated in the center of Leyawiin.

When you confront them about the robbery, they will deny their involvement. After speaking with them, sneak into the house and secretly listen to their conversation. Soon, you will gather information that the Eye of Nocturnal is at the Tidewater Cave.
