How to Get Troll Fat in Oblivion Remastered

by

In the game “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered,” Troll Fat serves as a versatile alchemical component. It’s crucial for initiating Malacath’s Daedric quest, among other uses. The primary method to acquire Troll Fat is by slaying Trolls, which, given they are powerful enemies that don’t show up until later stages of the game, can pose a challenge for players in the initial hours of play.

Lucky for me, I can get my hands on some Troll Fat without even crossing paths with those terrifying beasts! Let me break it down for you:

1. Scavenging: I might find a stash left behind by other adventurers or explorers in hidden corners of the game world.
2. Trading: I can trade valuable items with NPC merchants who may have Troll Fat in stock.
3. Quests: Sometimes, completing certain quests rewards me with Troll Fat as a bonus item.
4. Looting: Rummaging through defeated enemies’ loot might just yield some Troll Fat if they happened to carry any.
5. Crafting: If I have the right ingredients, I can craft Troll Fat using a recipe I’ve discovered or learned from other players.

How to Get Troll Fat in Oblivion Remastered

Troll Fat is a substance obtained from the remains of Trolls (in most cases), or players may find it available for purchase at Alchemy merchants or hidden in containers. Trolls serve as enemies that begin appearing as random encounters outdoors and in caves starting from level 8. Unfortunately, if you’re playing at a lower level, you won’t come across them while exploring; they only appear when you reach level 8 or through specific missions within the Fighters Guild or as predetermined loot.

Skingrad Mages Guild

In the upper floor of Skingrad Mages Guild Living Quarters, nestled within a showcase, lies a solitary chunk of Troll Fat. To retrieve it, you’ll need to pick a challenging lock, but since you’re a member of the Mages Guild, it won’t be considered theft. This particular piece of Troll Fat will always be there, as it is stationary loot, irrespective of your character level.

Fighters Guild Troll Missions

In the missions given by the Fighters Guild, located within each city, you’ll encounter Trolls of varying levels. Defeating these Trolls will reward you with Troll Fat.

In the tasks assigned by the Fighters Guild across their cities, you’ll find yourself battling Trolls that match your level. These Trolls will provide you with Troll Fat upon defeat.)

In Cyrodiil, numerous merchants specialize in offering alchemical components. Many of these can be effortlessly located within the Imperial City.

As a gamer, I embarked on Malacath’s challenging quest by making my way to his sanctuary, nestled just north of Anvil. Upon arrival, I sought out Shobob gro-Rugdush for a hearty conversation that triggered this epic journey. To kick things off, I strategically placed a chunk of Troll Fat in front of the sacred shrine. With each step forward, the anticipation grew as I was about to lay my hands on Volendrung – one of the finest two-handed weapons the game has to offer.
