The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
How can I turn the Hist tree into hist-ory?
1 of 7: The key to it is figuring out how to wreck the machinery around it.
2 of 7: Notice that the interactive parts of the machine include the central machine itself, the two large pump mechanisms on either side of it, several sap storage tanks, and the boiler.
3 of 7: NOTE: There are a lot of empty sap bottles in the room, but they're worthless and can't be filled by you, so you might as well ignore them.
4 of 7: Look for something you can use to jam up the two sap pumps.
5 of 7: Along the south side of the room are two big loose pipes, both of which you can pick up.
6 of 7: Once you have the pipes, click on the pumps one at a time to sabotage them.
7 of 7: After the second one is destroyed, the Hist tree is toast history!
