An Oblivion Remastered player ended up in ‘the backrooms of Oblivion’ trying to find the exact location from The Elder Scrolls 6 teaser trailer

by

Players of Oblivion Remastered quickly began testing limits to discover what they could pull off, with the first gooner mod being uploaded in just three hours. Now, an individual has successfully breached the borders of Cyrodiil, venturing into Valenwood and Hammerfell.

Valenwood, a region found southwest of Cyrodiil within Oblivion’s boundaries, is part of The Elder Scrolls Online game world. Despite being near the edge, player GnoblinXD successfully navigated deep into what was thought to be an off-limits area on the map.

For those asking how to get to Valenwood from r/oblivion

According to GnoblinXD via IGN, as I strolled by the Strid River heading from Skingrad, it turned out that there’s a spot where you can leap over into Valenwood, close to Kvatch. Upon further investigation, I was amazed to discover that most of the map seemed to be present, albeit not fully detailed as expected.

If you’re curious about how GnoblinXD managed it, you’ll be pleased to know they’ve shared a useful guide too. It reveals the precise location where players can jump off a cliff, somehow bounce on the river below, and then climb up the slope to reach Valenwood.

However, much like an intrepid adventurer, GnoblinXD didn’t pause there. Rather than retiring after traversing the barren expanse of Valenwood, they aimed for greater horizons: Hammerfell, the fabled setting for The Elder Scrolls 6.

Following numerous hours of exploration, I eventually crossed Cyrodiil’s northern boundary. This expanse appears enormous, much larger than Valenwood or Elsweyr. The terrain continues to stretch far beyond the visible limit, hinting at its potential size. It could be uninhabited, but my curiosity is piqued regardless.

I played this game without using any modifications, cheats or special commands; it’s entirely ‘as-is.’ It’s amusing how densely forested Hammerfell is compared to Valenwood, which appears to be tree-less, if you get my drift. That’s because the Wood Elves, who are supposed to live in the woods, call Valenwood their home.

I made it to Hammerfell from r/oblivion

Accompanying a snapshot of GnoblinXD’s location marker as evidence they reached Hammerfell, you’ll find several stunning images showcasing snow-covered peaks, verdant fern forests, and vast open grasslands. It seems there might be more to explore here than in Valenwood.

The sole challenge encountered by GnoblinXD was attempting to navigate to the coastline depicted in the teaser trailer for The Elder Scrolls 6. When someone requested screenshots from that location, GnoblinXD attempted to traverse the map but ultimately fell through it: “I walked towards that region, but eventually tumbled over the edge of the map. Now I’m stranded in the hidden corners of Oblivion.

Originally in Oblivion, there was an enormous, unseen barrier that prevented players from venturing beyond set boundaries, although a small peek was possible. However, this doesn’t mean that resourceful players couldn’t figure out a way to breach it. But it’s evident that the remaster offers less resistance when it comes to exploring new territories.
