How to Get Troll Fat in Oblivion Remastered

Troll Fat is a valuable alchemical ingredient in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, used for crafting potions, poisons, and even progressing in certain Daedric quests. However, since Trolls only start appearing as random encounters at level 8 or higher, obtaining Troll Fat early can be tricky—especially for low-level characters.
Fortunately, there are several ways to acquire Troll Fat without fighting Trolls at all. This guide covers all methods, including static loot locations, vendor purchases, and guaranteed Troll spawns for higher-level players.

1. Finding Troll Fat in the Skingrad Mages Guild (No Fighting Required)

One of the easiest ways to get Troll Fat early is by visiting the Skingrad Mages Guild.

• Location: Upper level (Living Quarters) of the Skingrad Mages Guild.
• How to Get It:
  • Inside, you’ll find a display case containing a single piece of Troll Fat.
  • The case is locked with a Hard-level lock, so bring lockpicks or use the Alteration spell Open Hard Lock.
  • Important: If you’re a member of the Mages Guild, taking the Troll Fat does not count as stealing.

This is a static loot item, meaning it’s always there regardless of your level.

2. Buying Troll Fat from Alchemy Shops (Level 9+ Requirement)

Several alchemy vendors sell Troll Fat, but only after you reach level 9. Here’s where to check:

Shop Name	Location	Merchant
The Gilded Carafe	Imperial City (Market District)	Claudette Perrick
The Main Ingredient	Imperial City (Market District)	Ogier Georick
The Arcane University	Imperial City (Arcane University)	Julienne Fanis
All Things Alchemical	Skingrad	Falanu Hlaalu

Since merchant inventories reset every 48 in-game hours, you can revisit these shops to check for restocks.

3. Fighting Trolls in Fighters Guild Quests (Early Troll Encounters)

If you’re willing to fight Trolls before level 8, the Fighters Guild offers a few quests where Trolls appear regardless of your level:

Quest Name	Fighters Guild Branch	Notes
Trolls of Forsaken Mine	Chorrol	Early Troll encounter
Mystery at Harlun's Watch	Cheydinhal	Guaranteed Trolls
The Master's Son	Cheydinhal	Another early Troll source

Completing these quests will force Trolls to spawn, allowing you to loot their fat.

4. Guaranteed Troll Spawn Locations (Level 8+)

Once you reach level 8, Trolls start appearing in the wild. Here are some confirmed locations with high Troll spawn rates:

• Fyrelight Cave (Between Skingrad and Kvatch)
• Sandstone Cavern (Northeast of Kvatch – also spawns Minotaurs & Spriggans)
• Shattered Scales Cave (East of Bravil, Nibenay Valley)
• Road east of Kvatch (Random encounters)
• West Weald (Between Skingrad and Bravil)
• Great Forest (West of the Imperial City)
• Road south of Bravil

These areas have guaranteed Troll spawns, making them ideal farming spots.

5. Using Troll Fat in Malacath’s Daedric Quest

Troll Fat is required to start Malacath’s Daedric Quest, which rewards the powerful Volendrung warhammer.

• Shrine Location: North of Anvil.
• How to Start:

• Speak to Shobob gro-Rugdush near the shrine.
• Place Troll Fat on the shrine’s altar.
• Complete the quest to receive Volendrung.

6. Alchemy Uses for Troll Fat

Troll Fat has the following alchemical effects:

• Damage Agility
• Fortify Personality
• Damage Willpower
• Damage Health

It’s particularly useful for:

• Fortify Personality potions (Helpful for persuasion checks).
• Poison-making (Combining with Damage Health ingredients).

Final Tips for Farming Troll Fat

• Early Game: Get the Skingrad Mages Guild Troll Fat (no combat needed).
• Mid-Game (Level 9+): Buy from alchemy shops or farm Trolls in caves.
• Quest-Related: Use Fighters Guild quests for forced Troll spawns.
• Daedric Quest: Save one piece for Malacath’s Shrine.

With these methods, you’ll never struggle to find Troll Fat in Oblivion Remastered—whether you’re a low-level alchemist or a seasoned adventurer!
