The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

How can I open this gate?

  • 1 of 9: The push block you need is back in the main Ayleid room.
  • 2 of 9: However, it's up on the upper walkway, so you'll have to get up there somehow.
  • 3 of 9: Find the partly-raised stone stairs and go up them as far as you can.
  • 4 of 9: Then jump up to the top of the stairs to get onto the upper walkway.
  • 5 of 9: You'll need an Acrobatics skill of at least 61 to make it.
  • 6 of 9: That's where the Boots of Springheel Jak can come in handy. If your Acrobatics skill is less than 61, put on the boots long enough to make the jump.
  • 7 of 9: If you look to your right (east) from the top of the stairs, you'll see a push block in the wall, but that's not the one you want.
  • 8 of 9: Run around to the southern part of the upper walkway and use the push block on the wall at its east end.
  • 9 of 9: Now you can drop back down to the main floor and go through the newly opened gate.
