Oblivion Remastered: How to Dodge

Dodging in Oblivion Remastered is actually useful now. If you're tired of taking swords, spells, and claws to the face, here’s how to sidestep your way to survival.

Unlocking Dodge in Oblivion Remastered

First things first, you can't dodge right away. You’ll need to level up your Acrobatics skill to 25. The fastest way? Channel your inner kangaroo and start jumping everywhere. Yes, really. Every hop gets you closer to dodging like a pro.

Once you hit level 25 in Acrobatics, the game will politely let you know that you’ve unlocked the Dodge ability. From that point on, you’re officially harder to hit.

How to Dodge

Now that you’ve earned your nimbleness, here’s how to use it:

• PC: Hold Right-Click (Block) + Press Spacebar (Jump) + Move in any direction.

• Xbox: Hold LT (Block) + Press Y (Jump) + Move with the stick.

• PlayStation: Hold L1 (Block) + Press X (Jump) + Move with the stick.

Simple enough—until you try to dodge in a tiny dungeon hallway and end up backflipping into a wall. Best to use it in open spaces unless you enjoy getting cornered.

Every time you dodge, it drains your Fatigue (Stamina). Spam it too much, and you'll be too tired to swing a sword or even block properly. So, dodge smart—not like you’re in a ballet recital.

If you want to dodge more without collapsing, boost your Strength, Willpower, or Agility. More stamina means more fancy footwork.

Final Blurb

Dodging in Oblivion Remastered is a lifesaver (once you stop jumping long enough to unlock it). Just remember, flipping around won’t save you if you run out of stamina or parkour yourself into a corner. Dodge wisely, hero.
