The initial bows you get in The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered are quite weak, and as soon as you're able, you should search for a better one. Here is how to get one of the best in the game, the Frostwyrm Bow.

Since the combat system in The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is still very clunky and dated, like it used to be in the original, finding quality weapons will be the game changer and will differentiate you from your foes while roaming through the waistlands of Cyrodiil.

The guys from Bethesda made sure that everything, except for the improved visuals, is still true to the original, so finding new weapons will be very important and also fun and challenging, so if you're trying to find a good bow that will be your reliable range weapon option, we have a guide that will explain to you how to get just that.

How to get high-quality bow early in the game

The bow we are talking about is called the Frostwyrm Bow, and in order to get it, you'll have to travel all the way to the northern part of the map, to the place called Dive Rock. Dive Rock is located high in the mountains directly north of Cheydinhal—if you cannot locate the place, use our map for reference.

Once you locate Dive Rock, you'll find a journal there. If you read carefully every page, you'll find out about a very grim fate of a couple who set on the journey to find a creature called Uderfrykte, and unprepared as they were, they got eaten by it. Inside the journal, you'll notice the mention of a very powerful bow, so your mission gets clear from that moment on: find the creature, kill it, and obtain the loot from it, including the bow, of course.

Luckily, you won't have to go very far to find the creature. If you look to the left from where you're standing, or directly to the east, to be more precise, you'll notice something moving on the nearby slopes. Uderfrykte has the power of camouflage and is very hard to notice in the snow due to its bluish colour.

Once you see it, equip the bow and start hitting it. The creature will get alerted and run towards you, but if you position yourself on one of the stones, it won't be able to reach you. Spam the arrows into it, and soon it will fall. Loot its body to find the remains of a wife along with the Frostwyrm Bow.

This bow has magical features and deals frost damage to your enemies. Frostwyrm Bow is one of the strongest bows in the game, so acquiring it as soon as possible is of utmost importance if using the bow is part of your playstyle.
