A Massive Fan-Made Mod Brings Witcher Flavor to Oblivion Remastered
For fans of both The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and The Witcher series, there’s now a dream crossover that delivers the best of both worlds. A new fan-made mod titled Path of the Witcher has been released for Oblivion Remastered, and it’s so expansive that it feels like a full-fledged DLC. From Geralt’s iconic swords to Witcher signs and intense boss battles, this mod reimagines Cyrodiil through the lens of Andrzej Sapkowski’s dark fantasy universe.
Five Epic Bosses and Powerful Rewards
The heart of the Path of the Witcher mod is its challenging boss questline. Players must defeat five custom bosses, each guarding a unique reward. Conquer them all, and you’ll unlock a complete Viper gear set, along with two signature swords — one steel and one silver.
- The steel sword is designed to deal enhanced damage to humans and NPCs.
- The silver sword specializes in damaging monsters and magical creatures, echoing its function in The Witcher franchise.
Each sword has been modeled as a claymore, making them visually and functionally distinctive. The Viper armor scales its defensive capabilities based on your light armor skill, ensuring that your gear grows stronger as your character levels up.
Witcher Signs Arrive in Tamriel
No Witcher experience is complete without signs, and Path of the Witcher doesn’t disappoint. The mod introduces five fully functional signs:
Aard, Igni, Axii, Quen, and Yrden — each upgradeable across five proficiency tiers from Novice to Master.
These signs are seamlessly integrated into the game as active spells, complete with their own progression system. You can enhance them by training at magical schools, similar to how you’d level up spells in traditional Oblivion gameplay.
Getting Started with the Mod
To begin your Witcher-inspired journey, you’ll need to locate the first boss. According to the mod’s creator, AlexPreit, your best starting points are:
- Cloud Top, north of Chorrol
- Veyond Cave, north of Bravil
These locations serve as gateways into a challenging, lore-rich adventure that introduces players to the full depth of the mod.
A Touch of Humor and Endless Replayability
Beyond intense boss fights and magical combat, Path of the Witcher adds a layer of humorous content and sandbox-style exploration. Players can:
- Spend 10,000 gold to rescue an unstable NPC
- Attempt to steal 1 million items and crash the in-game time system
- Hunt for a ghost horse — if it even exists!
The mod not only pays homage to The Witcher but also embraces the chaotic, open-ended nature of Oblivion modding culture.
Free to Download and Already Making Waves
This impressive mod is completely free and available for immediate download. It adds hours of fresh gameplay, complete with new weapons, mechanics, enemies, and story elements, all wrapped in faithful Witcher-inspired aesthetics. For players hungry for more than a nostalgia trip, Path of the Witcher delivers a genuinely new and engaging RPG experience inside one of Bethesda’s most beloved games.
Conclusion: A Must-Have Mod for Witcher and Elder Scrolls Fans
Path of the Witcher proves just how far passion and creativity can go in the modding world. With deeply integrated gameplay mechanics, challenging boss fights, and rich Witcher-inspired lore, it brings new life to Oblivion Remastered. Whether you’re a Witcher veteran or a TES die-hard, this mod offers the perfect blend of magic, challenge, and reward.
