The Hero of Kvatch on a ghost horse in Oblivion Remastered. The beauty of Oblivion Remastered isn’t just in its revamped visuals or deep magic mechanics. It’s when veteran players see first-timers experience what they felt all those years ago. Discovering secrets, breaking the game with custom spells, and the realisation that Oblivion’s mechanics are much deeper than Skyrim’s is all part of the experience.

Considering the game originally launched in 2006, every inch of Cyrodiil has been discovered, and there’s nothing left to surprise players. However, every once in a while someone comes across something interesting that even baffles those who’ve put thousands of hours in the original. For instance a ghost horse that you can ride.

Is The Ghost Horse In Oblivion Remastered Real?

You’ve come across ghosts while delving into Oblivion’s many dungeons, but it seems that Redditor TaricIsNotASupport has found what seems to be a ghost horse. “I have played thousands of hours of the original Oblivion – and have already sunken over a hundred hours into the Remaster,” but they have never seen this horse before.

Of course, this led many of the comments to say that it’s probably their original horse that must have caught a stray spell and is simply glitching out, or just another kind of bug. “With the number of bugs regarding various visual effects, it almost looks like a stuck visual effect of a horse in armor. Like it got hit with a spell and the visual effect didn’t properly clear,” said one player.

However, OP noted that the horse was indeed mountable, fast travels with them, and can even be stabled. This has confused even veteran players, as there was no such thing in the original game, and a bug should have fixed itself after a few loading screens. Could this be a new addition to the Remaster? Others pointed out that they may have accidentally cast a spell on the horse, and a bug is causing the effect to linger indefinitely.

Whatever the reason may be, this player now has a ghost horse for the rest of their playthrough. Those Dremore will surely run back through their Oblivion Gates when they see The Hero of Kvatch charging at them on a spirit steed.
