The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Another Pickpocketing Tip

  • 1 of 7: If you're sneaky enough, you might could pickpocket the key from Agarmir before he and his friend attack you, but this is *very* hard to do.
  • 2 of 7: What you should do is practice your Sneak skill up to at least 75 before entering the mausoleum. It would also help if you had some articles of Chameleon Clothing to wear (see the Enchanting Tips).
  • 3 of 7: Enter Sneak mode and quicksave right before entering the mausoleum, then go in and carefully sneak over to Agarmir.
  • 4 of 7: If he sees you and talks to you, you'll have to quickrestore and try again.
  • 5 of 7: When you make it over to Agarmir undetected, quicksave again before you try pickpocketing the mausoleum door key in case you fail to get it.
  • 6 of 7: As soon as you have the door key, leave Sneak mode and run for the door.
  • 7 of 7: Agarmir and his fighter pal will follow you outside, so get up on the circular walkway that surrounds the Elder Council Chambers building and run around on it. The nearby guards will attack and kill your pursuers for you.
