Chorrol.com _ Oblivion cheats and hints _ Unicorn Encounter

Has anyone encountered the unicorn yet in the garden with minotaurs? I knew one guy who says that the unicorn followed him everywhere after he found it.

It's in Harcane Grove East of the Inn of Ill Omens...and a little North. It's South of Hircine's Shrine... in the Nibenay Valley South of the Imperial City & North of Bravil East of the Green Road and West of the Upper Niben River.

When my husband found the unicorn the 4 minotaurs attacked him and so did the unicorn. Funny thing was that the unicorn attacked anyone who was also attacking him but continued to attack him too.

I wondered if anyone else had similar or different encounters with the unicorn.

Don't you need to kill the unicorn anyways to get the horn required to complete Hircine's Shrine quest?

That's what I did anyways.... I remember the unicorn was attacking the minotaurs before me though.

The grove has the funniest, and weirdest AI encounters in the game, from what I've seen. Every single time it's something different. With me, I had this moutain lion following me and the unicorn started fighting it, then the minotaurs started fighting it so it ran off, and the minotaurs chased it down while the unicorn went back to it's spot, and I hijacked it to Hircine's shrine because I didn't want to kill it yet. I killed it, completed the quest, and like 2 minutes after completing it the minotaurs caught up to me.

have you played on the PC or Xbox?

The Unicorn attacks you only if you pull out a weapon. Feel free to burn the Minotaurs to Cinders however, but keep your blade, hammer, axe, and fists to yourself, and you should be all right to ride the unicorn. Until you stable it outside a city, bust out with a dagger, then all the guards, and townsfolk put your unique horsey to death. Oh well, I gues thats why its called a Unicorn, you can never catch it, or if you do, it goes away. Thats why I love Shadowmere, ALWAYS comes back to you.

I wish I hadn�t killed it. But back then I didn�t know any better so I did it just to complete the quest. As I�m on the PC I do have the option of bringing it back to life via the pop-up console and I plan to do it this spring.
