Within the expansive world of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, players encounter branching narratives demanding consequential choices. The “Two Sides of a Coin” mission exemplifies this design, thrusting adventurers into an ethical conflict with multiple resolution paths. This guide outlines optimal strategies for navigating the quest’s complexities.
Resolving the Moral Quandary in Two Sides of a Coin
Initiate this narrative thread by gathering intelligence from Bruma’s residents through dialogue interactions focused on recent events. Persistent inquiry reveals tensions between former partners-in-crime Arnora and Jorundr. The southern district of Bruma houses Arnora’s residence, where determined persuasion efforts unveil her account of betrayed trust and concealed wealth.
Collaborating with Arnora Against Jorundr
Opting for diplomacy grants access to Arnora’s chest key, yielding an authentic family heirloom. Presenting this artifact to the incarcerated Jorundr at Bruma’s penitentiary triggers revelations about the treasure’s position near the North Gate. However, complication arises through Tyrellius’ interference, necessitating combat resolution before claiming rewards from the hidden cache and confirming Arnora’s fate.
Eliminating Arnora for Immediate Gain
Violent resolution against Arnora yields an ersatz pendant, exposing her duplicity. Examination of domestic furnishings reveals concealed storage containing the genuine article. Subsequent negotiations with Jorundr using this proof provide identical treasure coordinates, bypassing Tyrellius’ involvement entirely.
Uncovering the Treasure Trove
Incarceration through deliberate lawbreaking facilitates direct dialogue with Jorundr, exposing Arnora’s culpability in guard fatalities. This path demands orchestrated elimination of Arnora followed by strategic retrieval of evidentiary items, culminating in unrestricted access to the concealed riches.
Prison Complex Navigation
Bruma Castle’s subterranean detention center houses Jorundr, accessible via barracks passageways. Successful interaction with custodial staff enables direct audience, though cooperation often requires simulated criminal conduct to establish credibility with the imprisoned conspirator.
