The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

How can I find the mansion's hidden treasure?

  • 1 of 10: Start by going up to the mansion's Top Floor area.
  • 2 of 10: You see the cube-like wooden housing that has the door that leads back to the main mansion area on one side?
  • 3 of 10: On top of that housing, on the side opposite the door, is a long-forgotten note.
  • 4 of 10: The note has a riddle that gives a clue as to where the treasure is located.
  • 5 of 10: You can either figure it out, or just go down to the basement and search the place for anything valuable.
  • 6 of 10: The riddle refers to an hourglass, so look around for one of those.
  • 7 of 10: It's partly hidden in the basement's support structures.
  • 8 of 10: Find the large wooden pillar with all the garlic clusters hanging on it.
  • 9 of 10: Move around the pillar while looking up near its top to spot the hourglass. (And no, it's not there before you read the note.)
  • 10 of 10: Click on the hourglass to find several valuable gems plus a magic ring called Ring of the Gray, which has several useful enchantments on it.
