Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Knights of the Nine Cheats, Codes & Guides

Outside the priory recruit the Wood Elf named "Brellin" and tell him to follow you. Since he's a quest character, he can never die.

Note: You must complete The Knights of the Nine story line for this to work.

First Method

In the Imperial City, Talos district, find a house owned by a person named Dorian, it will be called "Dorian's House". Try to get him angry enough with you via threatening him. Once he has a low enough disposition (lower than 20) with him, he will ask you to leave. At this point kill him and go to loot his body. He should have around 40 gold and some other misc items. LOOT ALL THE ITEMS FIRST leaving the gold, DO NOT LOOT ALL. When you go to take the gold, it will glitch and keep allowing you to take the gold off him. Make sure he doesn't leave or alerts any of the guards and save before attempting this. After about an hour of hitting the same button, I had 150k gold. Note: You can bribe him before doing this glitch and you'll make more gold. This no longer works after a recent June patch to the game.

Second Method

First you have to complete the Cure for Vampirism mission, and talk to The Count, Janus Hassidor. When you talk to him, ask him about the "Reward" conversation option, but don't leave the conversation, and keep asking him about it. Every time you ask him about it you receive 1000 gold (or more depending on your level). Do this as many times as desired for unlimited gold. Note that a recent June patch has fixed this glitch.

Umbra is a sword; It's most likely the strongest sword in the whole game. To get Umbra, you have to find the ruins called Vindasel around the Imperial City (Just circle the water around the City until you find it) and beat the woman who is deep inside. It may sound easy, but the woman wielding Umbra is really tough. The hardest boss in the game almost. Her armor is Ebony, so you might want it to use or sell to your liking. When facing Umbra, turn the difficulty all the way down. It makes it only moderately hard. Umbra won't attack you unless you attack her first. There are pillars around the center of her room. Affix yourself on top of one of the pillars, and unleash your bow and arrow fury on her. It will take a long time since arrows only take a little bit off her health bar, but as long as you're on the pillar and you have a lot of arrows, she is screwed. Umbra will simply swing and run at the pillar, while you bombard her with your arrows. It's a tedious process to do it this way, but the treasure you reap from her corpse makes it worth the effort.

During your quest for the Relics, if at any time you violate the law (thievery, murder and the like) the armor will unequip itself from you. To be able to equip it again you must walk the Pilgrim's Way again. So it is advised that you either finish Knight of the Nine before proceeding to the Thieves Guild/Dark Brotherhood, or finish Thieves Guild and/or Dark Brotherhood before Knights of the Nine.
