Achievement & Trophy Guide

Achievement & Trophy Guide

For players seeking to fully complete The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and showcase their mastery, achievements and trophies offer a structured way to track progress and reward specific accomplishments. These range from completing main story arcs to mastering skills, exploring the world, and engaging with its various factions and challenges.

While Oblivion itself did not originally feature an achievement system on consoles like the Xbox 360, the PC version has a robust modding community that has introduced various achievement systems. For remasters or later editions, official achievements may be present. This guide outlines common types of achievements You can strive for, covering a broad spectrum of gameplay activities.

Achievement Categories
