1. Hatred’s Soul: The Ultimate Endgame

This is widely regarded as one of the strongest bows in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

A leveled Daedric bow with great enchantments and powerful high base damage, perfect for high-level players.

Hatred’s Soul Stats

• Damage: 24 (at level 19+)
• Weight: 12
• Health: 600
• Base Value: 5,146 Gold
• Enchantments: Fire Damage 35 pts for 1 sec, Drain Speed 30 pts for 45 secs
• Speed: 1
• Charge: 4,600
• Uses: 15

Players will be able to find this bow in the Chorrol Oblivion Gate. Look within a sunken tower in the “Random Oblivion World 2” layout.

Make sure you are level 19 or above in order to acquire this bow at its full power. If you are below that, then you will get a slightly weaker version.

2. Frostwyrm Bow: Early game beast

In the early game, Frostwyrm Bow is the best choice for the archers. It has solid frost damage and decent base stats to fight the enemies from long range.

Frostwyrm Bow Stats

• Damage: 15
• Weight: 14
• Health: 300
• Base Value: 500 Gold
• Enchantments: Frost Damage 15 pts
• Speed: 1
• Reach: 1
• Charge: 500
• Uses: 21

To get this bow, players need to head towards Dive Rock in the northeastern corner of the map, south of the Dive Rock Point of Interest (POI).

When you approach the ruined campsite, it opens the POI. The Uderfrykte Matron, a semi-invisible frost troll-like creature near Agnar’s body, holds the Frostwyrm Bowm according to Patchcrazy.

This is a pretty useful early game bow and will be helpful till level 19 and 20 in Oblivion Remastered.

3. Bow of Infernal Frost: Mid-game powerhouse

Last but not least is the Bow of Infernal Frost, which is a pretty good option for early to mid-game levels.

This bow combines fire and frost damage and is pretty good for archers who are looking for elemental effects.

Bow of Infernal Frost Stats

• Damage: 8
• Weight: 14
• Health: 100
• Base Value: 7,000 Gold
• Enchantments: Fire Damage 10 pts on Touch, Frost Damage 10 pts on Touch
• Speed: 1
• Reach: 0
• Charge: 28
• Uses: 7

This is a bow that is sold by M’raaj-Dar in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in Cheydinhal. For this, you need to join the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion Remastered.

You can join this by doing a murder and sleeping in a bed to trigger the quest “A Knife in the Dark.”

Once you’re a member, go to the Sanctuary and chat with M’raaj-Dar about purchasing the bow. Its two elemental enchantments make it an excellent choice for dealing sustained damage over time.
