The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Harrow Decision Tips

  • 1 of 5: You could refuse to give Harrow all your possessions, but you'd then have to fight every Mythic Dawn jerk in the whole area. This can work for a super-tough character, but not for most others. The following hints will assume you've chosen the easier way.
  • 2 of 5: Go very slowly into the passage past the Doorkeeper's door and immediately pause the game with the Menu Mode key when you see someone ahead of you.
  • 3 of 5: That's Harrow, so you'll want to drop everything you're carrying (except your gold, which you can't drop) before you exit menu mode and unpause the game.
  • 4 of 5: After you talk to Harrow and agree to hand over your stuff, take the time to pick up everything you dropped. It's okay -- Harrow will stand and wait patiently for you.
  • 5 of 5: NOTE: You can try to pickpocket your gold or other confiscated items from Harrow as he leads you along, but it'll be hard even if your Sneak skill is high.
