The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
How can I open the locked chest next to the skeleton?
1 of 5: You'll need a lockpick.
2 of 5: Search the skeleton's body to find several.
3 of 5: Then try to open the locked chest.
4 of 5: See the "Arts of Stealth" section of the game manual and my Lockpicking Tips to learn more about lockpicking.
5 of 5: On one-tumbler locks like this, it's easy to push the tumbler up with the pick and then click to open the chest. You should be able to do this without breaking any picks, but do quicksave first just in case.
