The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Soul Gem Tips

  • 1 of 4: First, read through the general question below about empty grand soul gems to see if there's anything there that you can use.
  • 2 of 4: If you can sneak over to the unlit fireplace in Drakelowe and use its secret trap door to reach the basement unseen, you can raid it for an empty grand soul gem plus lots of great potions, including the ever-handy Poisons of Paralysis.
  • 3 of 4: There are three dungeons fairly near Drakelowe that will have empty grand soul gems in them now that you've been quested to get some. Directions for getting to each gem are given below.
  • 4 of 4: If you've already used up too many of the empty grand soul gems mentioned in the above hints, you'll have to find some in random treasure or wait until shopkeepers' inventories restock.
