There is a lot to do in the fourth Elder Scrolls game, Oblivion. From all of the different factions to join to all the different Easter eggs to find. Some of the best content the game has to offer are the Daedric quests. But before you can undertake a quest for one of the mysterious Daedras, you first have to find the shrine associated with that Daedra, identified by a pointing holy statue icon.

The shrines are a bit out of the way, which is hinted at in the game, so here's where you can find each one without having to wander around for a long time. You can't just dive right in, either. You'll need to make an offering and be at the right level to be able to do the quest. Here's everything you need to know for each Shrine.

Updated on March 18, 2023, by Branden Lizardi: The Oblivion Daedric Shrines remain one of the most fun and interesting series of side quests in all of The Elder Scrolls 4. And that isn't even to mention the weird and wild magic items they often reward. Even today, they're worth going back for. We've revisited this guide and given it an extra bit of elbow grease to ensure that everything remains clean, clear, and easy to read.

Unlike other shrines which have you offer an item, players must have a personality skill level of 20 or lower to be able to start the quest. This can be done by drinking enough alcohol until you are at the required skill level.
