Detailed Walkthrough
Ready for More?
Once you have leveled up your Alteration skill to 70, head to Faregyl Inn, located northwest of the Inn of Ill Omen, or to the Chorrol Mages Guild and ask either the Khajiit publican Abhuki or the Bosmer spell merchant Athragar about further training in Alteration. They will tell you that the only one that can train you further is Tooth-in-the-Sea, an Argonian who enjoys swimming in the waters of Niben Bay.
Searching Niben Bay
Tooth-in-the-Sea can be found north of the city of Bravil on the coast of Niben Bay; his encampment is slightly east of the Flooded Mine. He will only give you his challenge before 1pm and while he is swimming in the bay; otherwise he will tell you to wait until he has found his favorite spot. Once you have spoken with him, he will let you know how you can prove you are worthy of his training.
The Test
You need to stay underwater for three hours in-game (about six minutes in player time) without wandering too far away from him. There are several ways to accomplish this:
- Create a custom Water Breathing spell or purchase one from Trayvond the Redguard at the Cheydinhal Mages Guild, Ungarion at A Warlock's Luck in Bravil or Edgar Vautrine at Edgar's Discount Spells in the Market District of the Imperial City. If you have done the Cheydinhal Recommendation quest for the Mages Guild, you will have been given the Buoyancy spell which will do the job.
- Create a custom potion with alchemical ingredients. Note that without a master level in Alchemy, you will need at least two ingredients with Water Breathing as a common effect to create a potion.
- Wear an item with a permanent Water Breathing effect. Three such items that can be easily obtained are Fin Gleam, the Jewel of the Rumare, and Nistor's Boots.
- If you are an Argonian like Tooth-in-the-Sea, he will tell you that you do not need to do the test.
Once three hours have passed, Tooth-in-the-Sea will approach you and agree to train you further in Alteration.
Bugs
- Like Torbern, Alawen, and Bralsa Andaren, if Tooth-in-the-Sea dies before beginning his Master Training quest, the quest can be obtained but not completed, and will stay active in your journal.
- PC Only This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Oblivion Patch.

- Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
- Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
- If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
- Ficheiro:Pc22.png It is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering
