The Boots of Springheel Jak are one of the crucial useful items you may obtain through the Thieves Guild Questline in Oblivion: Remastered. They fortify your acrobatics by 50 points, providing an enormous boost to your jump height and reducing the autumn damage you are taking. Unfortunately, they’ll normally get destroyed through the quest “The Ultimate Heist.”
It is feasible to forestall the boots from being destroyed in Oblivion: Remastered, though it is going to require a little bit of preparation, so this guide will explain the ways you’ll be able to finish “The Ultimate Heist” without losing the Boots of Springheel Jak.
The Boots of Springheel Jak will ordinarily be destroyed during a scripted event near the tip of the search “The Ultimate Heist.” Toward the tip of the search, you may be required to flee from the Imperial Palace with an Elder Scroll, and your way out is down a chute in the hearth. The Boots of Springheel Jak will let you survive the autumn via a scripted event. Still, cushioning the impact will destroy them, so if you wish to keep them, you will have to organize a unique approach to surviving the autumn and take away the boots before you jump down the chute.
If you have got no less than 40 Athletics Skill and 180 Health, you’ll be able to survive the autumn while not having to wear the boots. You can even use a sloped ledge slightly below the grate to slow your fall briefly, which is able to make the gap you drop a tiny bit shorter and will prevent in case you haven’t got quite enough health for the autumn. There are some bottles of Surilie Brothers Wine within the room with the hearth, which fortify your health when consumed, which is able to allow you to fortify your health and help to make up the difference in case you cannot quite reach the 180 threshold mentioned earlier. Items that fortify Athletics and Health (aside from the boots themselves, naturally) are very handy for pushing your stats up enough to survive the autumn.
If you happen to’re a Mage with access to the Arcane University or Frostcrag Spire, and you realize the Fortify Skill spell effect, you’ll be able to create a spell of Fortify Athletics or enchant an item with Fortify Athletics to help with reaching the Athletics Skill needed. You can even create a spell or enchanted item of Fortify Health to succeed in the 180 Health needed to survive the autumn.
Don’t re-equip the Boots of Springheel Jak until “The Ultimate Heist” quest has been accomplished, as jumping with them equipped before the search is accomplished may cause a glitch where they will probably be destroyed as normal, because of the way in which the script for surviving the autumn works.
