Oblivion Remastered: Alteration Training Quest Guide

Once you reach a skill level of 70 or higher, you will be able to talk with the Advanced Trainers to learn about the location of the Master Trainer.


Advanced Trainers

Abhuki

Abhuki within the Faregyl Inn

Abhuki is a Khajiit that can be found at the Faregyl Inn South of the Imperial City. He runs the Inn and offers his training services there. He sleeps behind the counter, so he can always be found there.


Athragar

Athragar is a Bosmer Nightblade that is an Evoker within the Mages Guild. He can be found within the Chorrol Mages Guildhall.

Athragar spends 6am to 12pm wandering the Guildhall. From 12pm to 4 pm, he can be found reading on the ground floor. He will then move to the second floor library and read there until 6pm. There’s a small chance he’ll be on the ground floor behind the counter at this time practicing a spell. 6pm to 10pm he’ll be wandering around the guildhall. 10pm to 6 am, he’ll be in bed, asleep.

Find Tooth-in-the-Sea

He can be found to the North of Bravil. Tooth-in-the-Sea has a camp set up just to the East of the Flooded Mine.

Approaching the submerged Tooth-in-the-Sea

He will only offer the challenge before 1pm and while he is swimming in the bay. Otherwise, you will need to wait a bit more.


Underwater Trials

  • If the Hero is Argonian, Tooth-in-the-Sea will immediately pass you.

Tooth-in-the-Sea has a “simple” test. You must stay underwater nearby him for 3 hours (6 minutes real time). You will need to aware of any drift that happens while you are floating nearby him because of currents.

If you’re using Magic or Potions to sustain yourself underwater, you will need to watch your effect timer.

Using Equipment makes this very simple to pull off since they just work. No maintenance required.


Completion

When 3 hours have passed, Tooth-in-the-Sea will approach the Hero. He will accept them as a student. You now have access to him as a Master level Trainer.
