The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Where can I get a black soul gem?
1 of 5: They're special necromatic soul gems, so necromancer lairs would be a good place to look for them.
2 of 5: They can randomly be found in the inventories of Necromancer Adepts.
3 of 5: The nearest necromancer lair is Dark Fissure (location 59 on the Nibenay map) if you want to try it.
4 of 5: You can make a black soul gem yourself, though it's a real pain to do so.
