“Pilgrimage” is a side quest in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered that requires you to look for nine shrines across the map to pray at. Praying at these shrines will help determine if you’re worthy of becoming a knight.
While this quest doesn’t have any rewards, it opens up several other future ones, including “The Shrine of the Crusader” and “Wisdom of the Ages.” Each shrine also increases certain attributes, meaning that you’ll become stronger at the end of this quest.
This Oblivion Remastered guide includes a full “Pilgrimage” walkthrough, including where to start the quest, where to find all nine wayshrines, what bonuses you’ll get from them, and what happens at the end when you finish praying at each shrine.

Fast travel to Anvil Castle. On your right, you should see a prophet — a white-haired old man yelling about some hysterical prophecy.

Talk to the prophet and ask him about the attack on the chapel. Keep mentioning the chapel and then he’ll say something about Relics. Offer to find the Relics and make sure to say, “No. I have no claim to fame” when he asks you if you’re a worthy knight.

He’ll then ask you to pray at nine Wayshrines, which will cause something magical will happen. The wayshrines are surrounded by columns. All you simply have to do is interact with the shrine and a pop-up will appear with some flavor text. Oh, and it’ll boost one of your attributes.
Once you interact with the last shrine, Penlinal Whitestrake will automatically show up in a vision and speak to you. This will then unlock “The Shrine of the Crusader” quest and complete “Pilgrimage.”
