The Black Star has the ability to trap either black or white souls, up to the Grand level. It functions similarly to a Black Soul Gem.

Trivia

  • For the Oblivion Walker Achievement/Trophy, you must have fifteen of the artifacts owned on a single character, not spread out through multiple characters' save games.
  • If you intend to have Erandur as a follower, and still unlock the Oblivion Walker achievement, it's best to keep the Vaermina quest for last. Make a save game right before Erandur begins his ritual to destroy the Skull.
  • The Skeleton Key does not count towards Oblivion Walker.
  • It is most rewarding to obtain the Ebony Blade before any other Daedric Artifacts, as many of the Daedra Quests involve killing people you've done quests for.(The only people that you kill are the ones that gave you the initial quest; or none at all, & they aren't needed to complete the game.)It's best to get the Ebony Blade before you proceed with the Stormcloak War. If you attempt to do it afterwards you'll find that it's no longer the same Jarl (But can still be done, see follow up note).
  • Its still possible to do the The Whispering Door Quest if you completed the Stormcloaks' Side of the war by starting the quest like normal but the former Jarl of Whiterun is located in Solitude in the Blue Palace so you must go to Solitude to talk to the Jarl, after this the quest will go as normal.
  • If you want to collect all of the Daedric Artifacts as fast as possible, you will need to be level 30. Because the quest Boethiah's Calling can be started after level 30.
  • It is possible to get both of Hircine's artifacts (see Ill Met By Moonlight) and both count towards the Oblivion Walker achievement. This could help if one of the other artifacts becomes unavailable to the player (e.g., failing a quest). (Confirmed PS3 & Xbox 360)
