The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Travel Tips

  • 1 of 4: Start by fast-traveling back to Vahtacen, which is just a bit NW of the Dark Fissure.
  • 2 of 4: Head around the north edge of the water and find the path leading up (it starts just NW of the Swampy Cave).
  • 3 of 4: The terrain is extremely steep here, so you'll have to keep looking around to find ways to get up further until you make it to the Dark Fissure cave entrance.
  • 4 of 4: A way to make this easier is to be riding a horse, since they can go directly up very steep inclines.
