In the remastered edition of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the Daedric Princes return with renewed vigor—and none more so than
Sheogorath, the Prince of Madness. Known for his unpredictable nature and love of chaos, Sheogorath has grown
bored with Cyrodiil’s orderliness and seeks entertainment. For players willing to indulge his whims, he offers an
early chance to obtain the Wabbajack—his iconic and chaotic staff—in exchange for spreading delightful anarchy across the land.
But before players can dance with madness, they must first
appease another Daedric Lord:
Sanguine, the Prince of Debauchery, whose quest holds the key to unlocking Sheogorath’s favor. Central to this endeavor is
Cyrodilic Brandy, a fine spirit that serves as both a ritual offering and a peculiar consumable with unique effects.
This guide will cover:
✔
How to obtain Cyrodilic Brandy (best merchants and loot locations)
✔
The effects of drinking Cyrodilic Brandy (benefits and risks)
✔
Completing Sanguine’s quest to unlock Sheogorath’s early Wabbajack✔
Tips for maximizing chaos and Daedric rewardsPart 1: Obtaining Cyrodilic Brandy – A Connoisseur’s Guide
Why You Need Cyrodilic Brandy
Cyrodilic Brandy is
essential for two purposes:
Summoning Sanguine at his shrine (required for his Daedric quest, A Night to Remember).Unlocking Sheogorath’s early Wabbajack opportunity by proving your worth as an agent of chaos.Where to Buy Cyrodilic Brandy
Thankfully, this luxurious liquor is
readily available in several locations:
1. The Gilded Carafe (Imperial City – Market District)
- Best option: A high-end store specializing in alcohol and luxury goods.
- Cost: ~130 gold (price varies with Speechcraft and Disposition).
- Tip: Use Charm spells or Persuasion to lower the price.
2. The Main Ingredient (Imperial City – Market District)
- A general goods store that sometimes stocks alcohol.
- Less reliable than The Gilded Carafe but worth checking.
3. Taverns & Inns Across Cyrodiil
- The Oak and Crosier (Chorrol)
- The Feed Bag (Leyawiin)
- The Bloated Float (Waterfront District)
4. Loot & Theft
- Found in noble houses, castles, and bandit hideouts.
- Can be stolen from wine racks and cabinets in wealthy homes.
Part 2: The Effects of Cyrodilic Brandy – A Toast to Power (and Weakness)
While primarily used for Daedric worship, Cyrodilic Brandy can also be consumed, granting temporary buffs and debuffs:
Effect | Duration | Impact |
---|
Fortify Endurance +10 | 30 sec | Increases health regeneration. |
Fortify Fatigue +20 | 30 sec | Allows more power attacks and sprinting. |
Drain Strength -10 | 30 sec | Weakens melee damage output. |
Strategic Uses for Cyrodilic Brandy
✔ Before a tough fight? The Fatigue boost helps with stamina management.
❌ Melee fighters beware! The Strength drain can make battles harder.
🍷 Roleplaying a drunken brawler? Chug multiple bottles for hilarious (and risky) results.
Part 3: Sanguine’s Quest – A Night to Remember
To unlock Sheogorath’s early Wabbajack, players must first complete Sanguine’s Daedric quest:
Step 1: Find the Shrine of Sanguine
📍 Location: North of Skingrad, near the Panther River.
Step 2: Offer Cyrodilic Brandy
- Place the brandy on the shrine to summon Sanguine.
Step 3: Embrace the Debauchery
Sanguine will task you with a wild night of revelry, leading to:
- Blackout-style misadventures (waking up in strange places).
- Hilarious consequences (e.g., accidentally getting married, starting bar fights).
Reward: Sanguine’s Rose, a powerful staff that summons a Dremora ally.
Part 4: Sheogorath’s Early Wabbajack – Spreading Chaos for Power
Once Sanguine’s quest is complete, Sheogorath takes notice. If players cause enough chaos, he may offer the Wabbajack early (normally obtainable at level 2).
How to Trigger Sheogorath’s Favor
- Commit random acts of madness (attack guards, steal in public, use frenzy spells).
- Complete bizarre side quests (e.g., "The Killing Field" in Cheydinhal).
- Visit the Shrine of Sheogorath (north of Bravil) and prove your insanity.
Reward: The Wabbajack – a staff that randomly transforms enemies (or yourself!) into creatures, explosions, or sweetrolls.
Conclusion: Cheers to Chaos!
For players seeking early-game power or just a hilariously unpredictable playthrough, indulging in Cyrodilic Brandy, Sanguine’s debauchery, and Sheogorath’s madness is the perfect path.
🔹 Want the Wabbajack ASAP? Follow this guide and embrace the chaos!
🔹 Prefer a more… refined approach? Maybe stick to buying brandy from The Gilded Carafe.
Either way, Oblivion Remastered offers endless opportunities for madness and mayhem—just as Sheogorath intended.
