The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Honor Thy Mother
1 of 7: After you're transported to Bravil, just wait and watch as the other Black Hand members open the secret entrance to the Crypt of the Night Mother.
2 of 7: You'll be able to move again after they've all entered the crypt, so follow them in after activating the statue one last time for a luck boost.
3 of 7: You'll once again be unable to move until after the traitor reveals himself and vainly attempts to harm the Night Mother's ghost-like form.
4 of 7: When you regain motion, you and Arquen will be the only ones left to kill the traitor.
5 of 7: After he's dead, speak to the Night Mother to get promoted to Listener, the highest rank in the Brotherhood.
6 of 7: She'll give you time to loot her crypt, so do so and then speak to her again.
7 of 7: When you say you're ready to go, she'll upgrade your Blade of Woe dagger with several neat effects (which are best for level 30+ characters) and then transport you and Arquen to the Cheydinhal sanctuary.
