Which Amulets Should You Use In Oblivion Remastered?

Table of Contents

Regardless of what build you prefer to use in Oblivion Remastered, there's an amulet for you to find somewhere in Cyrodiil. However, while you can choose from a variety of viable options, certain amulets are just flat-out better than their peers, though there's luckily plenty of variety to fit your play style.

Warriors and mages are the big winners when it comes to finding top-tier amulet options to choose between, as thieves are better equipped with the best rings in Oblivion Remastered. Whether you prefer to rock with heavy armor as a full-on tank, or would rather stick to light armor pieces to keep your spell effectiveness high , these amulets will complete your build.

All amulets list their maximum leveled attributes, where applicable.

Amulet Of Interrogation

• Fortify Hand to Hand and Speechcraft by nine points

The Amulet of Interrogation is a strong option if you're enjoying a weaponless run through the game, and the added Speechcraft boon will help you solve problems that your fists can't.

You get this after helping Modryn Oreyn as a reward for the Information Gathering quest during the Fighters Guild questline.

While there are stronger jewelry enchantments available, this solid amulet is available from a straightforward quest and offers benefits for an underrepresented skill in Hand to Hand.

Charity Of Madness

• Resist Frost, Fire, and Shock by 16 percent

If you can wait to complete Through the Fringe of Madness until level 30 or later, you'll receive the best version of this powerful amulet. When combined with the Hands and Boots of the Atronach, this amulet gives you a total of over 90 percent resistance to each of the elemental types.

Certain rings can mimic these effects and take up fewer slots, but given the vast array of powerful rings, using this amulet can free those slots up for more potent enchantments.

Talisman of Abetment

• Detect Life 80 feet
• Feather 75 points
• Water Breathing

The Talisman of Abetment is arguably the most visually appealing of the best amulets in Oblivion Remastered and has an unusual trio of enchantments to enjoy.

This amulet's access to water breathing provides a weight-efficient alternative to Fin Gleam, a powerful enchanted Glass Helmet typically used to breathe underwater. Detect Life and Feather provide equal, if not better, secondary enchantments to Fin Gleam and make this amulet a must-have utility item.

Amulet of Reflection

• Reflect Damage 14 percent

The Amulet of Reflection is an excellent stopgap option if you're still missing one of the best amulets in Oblivion Remastered. Thankfully, this amulet is a random drop, but it can appear far more frequently than the superior options, which are much more difficult to find.

Even though this amulet can be replaced, you should equip it if you have it, and combining this amulet with other armor pieces that give Reflect Damage will make for one of the best Oblivion Remastered builds.

Amulet of Absorption

• Absorb spells 20 points

The Amulet of Absorption might not sound particularly special, but it outshines similar random loot, like the Grand Amulet of Absorption, which usually has a randomized absorb value of around 17.

The Spelldrinker Amulet, despite being unique and boasting a cooler name, only absorbs 15 points, leaving a noticeable gap between that unique armor piece and this powerful amulet. Be sure to keep an eye out for this random piece of loot, and check any spellcasting enemies for it.

Cruelty's Heart

• Fortify Willpower and Strength by 18 points

It's hard to find a better amulet for tank characters, as Cruelty's Heart gives you an additional 90 points of carry weight thanks to the Strength boon. Even if you opt to keep this amulet on hand solely for looting dungeons, it will already provide enough usage to warrant its ranking.

The extra willpower helps gain additional fatigue and increase your magicka regeneration, which can be an extremely helpful combination if you're well-versed in Restoration spells.

Acrobat's Amulet

• Fortify Speed, Athletics, and Acrobatics by 20 points

If you weren't able to keep the Boots of Springheel Jak after the Thieves Guild questline, this amulet is a superb replacement for you. Alternatively, when combined with the boots, it makes you one of the highest jumpers in the game, regardless of your base stats.

The additional 70 Acrobatics, when combined with the boots, is already enough to make almost any jump you can imagine, and you'll likely be over 100 even with a minimal investment in Acrobatics. Thieves and Rogue builds will benefit greatly from this amazing amulet.

Necklace of Swords (or Amulet of Axes)

• Reflect Damage by 33 percent
• Fortify Blade 25 points

The Necklace of Swords is easily the best amulet in Oblivion Remastered, especially due to the massive chance to reflect damage received back to your attacker.

This necklace shares almost identical enchantments with the Amulet of Axes, but that option improves your Blunt skill instead of Blade.

While you'll need to choose between Axes or Swords depending on your build, you should farm for these rare amulets at the Temple of the Ancestor Moth once you've completed the Turning A Blind Eye quest. Save your game before you enter the Moth Crypt, then defeat the boss in the room, who will always drop enchanted jewelry. Reload your save until you get the amulet or ring you want.
