The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
The Bloodworm Helm
1 of 9: After finishing "A Plot Revealed," get Polus to advance your rank to Wizard, then speak to Traven about "Bloodworm Helm."
2 of 9: NOTE: You can get "The Necromancer's Amulet" quest at the same time and then do them in either order.
3 of 9: Irlav Jarol took the helm to Fort Teleman (location 31 on the Blackwood map), so go there and see if you can find him.
4 of 9: As Traven feared, the place has been attacked by necromancers, so you'll have to fight your way along.
5 of 9: You shouldn't have too much trouble getting to the door to the "Order of the Black Rose" area, where you'll start encountering Daedra in addition to necromancers and undead.
6 of 9: When you come to a large room with a hole in the east wall, go through it. (The SW passage in the same room just leads to a locked door you can't open yet.)
7 of 9: You'll eventually come to a large cave room where a leveled Daedra creature is standing around near Jarol's body.
8 of 9: After you kill the Daedra, search Jarol's body to find the Bloodworm Helm. (Yet another totally weak knock-off of an artifact item in Morrowind.)
9 of 9: Return it to Traven sometime to finish this quest.
