Oblivion: Remastered features many quests that are tricky to solve unless you have some help. One of these quests is the ‘Tears of Savior’, which involves securing 5 Garridan’s Tears to complete it. The problem is, it’s scattered around an icy map, and the thick fog makes it difficult for you to see! That’s why we’ve published this guide to show you how to start the quest and survive Frostfire Glade to pinpoint the exact location of the 5 tears.
How to Start ‘Tears of the Savior’
Head over to Leyawiin, located at the southeast side of the map, beside Blackwood and go inside Leyawiin’s Mages Guild. Once inside, speak to S’drassa, a Khajiit. Continue with the conversation and accept his quest. Towards the end of your conversation with S’drassa, select the ‘Garridan’s Tears’ prompt, and he will talk about a Julienne Fanis at the Arcane University in Imperial City, whom we should seek out.
Once you reach the Imperial City, head towards the Arcane University situated on the south side of the city. Enter the building and talk with Julienne about Garridan’s Tears. This conversation will lead you north, towards the Imperial Market District and into a bookstore called First Edition.
Buy a book called ‘Knightfall’ for 50 Gold from the bookseller. Open your inventory and read the book, and your quest will be updated. Head back to Julienne and buy 1 Refined Frost Salt for around 75 Gold from her.
Reaching Frostfire Glade
After acquiring the Refined Frost Salt, your map will be updated with a new location called the Frostfire Glade. Head over to this location and you’ll find a door that leads into a cave. Open the door and traverse the cave; you won’t get lost, so keep moving forward as it is a pretty small cave. In the cave, you will face animals like bears and wolves, so be wary! At the end, you’ll find yourself in front of another door, this is where the Refined Frost Salt comes in handy. Open the door, and you will enter the actual Frostfire Glade area.
As you move into the frozen area, you will encounter an Atronach. Since this is a frost-type enemy, we suggest you use fire attacks for the most damage and make it a quick and easy fight. After the fight, you can start your search for the tears.
Garridan’s Tears are scattered around the ground, precisely, in these locations. These look like a solidified raindrop, with a blue gradient. Make sure you don’t wander around aimlessly and bump the tears out of the way! We also suggest switching to First-person view, so that you can easily spot them on the ground.
After obtaining all 5 tears, head back to S’drassa, and he’ll reward you with 2500 Gold.
