Oblivion Remastered: How to join the Thieves Guild

Instead of dedicating yourself to the Fighters or Mages Guild, or even honing your skills in combat or magic, there are moments when you yearn for something more clandestine. Fortunately, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered caters to this desire as it offers a Thieves Guild for you to join, enabling you to steal to your heart’s delight.

Since they’re an elusive group of individuals preferring to stay hidden from law enforcement, joining this secretive association will require some detective work on your part. Here, we’ll walk you through various strategies that could help you locate and potentially become a member of this clandestine group.

How to join the Thieves Guild

There are actually three ways to join the Thieves Guild that are all quite different.

Initially, you might end up in prison. However, it may seem unusual, soon after your release, a fellow guild member will get in touch with you and instruct you to head to the Waterfront District at midnight for a clandestine gathering.

If you prefer a different approach, look into the elusive character known as the Grey Fox. You can find him in the Imperial City, where there are posters with his image labeled as ‘Wanted’. Reading one will enable you to discuss the Grey Fox with everyone within the city. The locals will inform you that the beggars in the city work for him. Locate a beggar, primarily found in the Waterfront District, and increase their favor until they’re willing to share information about his secret late-night gatherings.

As a fervent admirer, I’ve discovered an intriguing tidbit in Bravil. Engage with City-Swimmer, the Argonian there, and discuss Bravil’s peaceful inhabitants (ensure she doesn’t delve into Oblivion Gates unless you’ve advanced the main quest for appropriate dialogue). When prompted to respond, express my curiosity by saying, “Wow, the Thieves Guild? What on earth is that?” This should open up a discussion about The Grey Fox. Opt for this topic and you’ll uncover details about a clandestine meeting at midnight.

No matter what option you select, ensure you attend the clandestine meeting at midnight, and the Thieves Guild’s storyline will commence. It would be advantageous for you to initially join the Fighters Guild, as the Thieves Guild quests will accrue infamy points for you, potentially making it more challenging to become a part of the Fighters Guild later on.
