The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Oblivion World 3

  • 1 of 6: You'll appear facing north on a small island that's south of the main island. Ahead of you will be a bridge with two carved rune stones on each side, plus a big red-tipped curvy spike thing straight ahead (and also a dead horse). Off in the distance and a little to the right is the citadel you're after.
  • 2 of 6: Unfortunately, the bridge leading north to the main island and the citadel is out, so you'll have to look around for other possibilities.
  • 3 of 6: The main sigil-holding citadel is straight north from where you emerge from the caves, but you can't get there directly.
  • 4 of 6: Going through this citadel's front door will randomly choose one of five specific citadel towers for you to ascend.
  • 5 of 6: TIP: Save before you enter the citadel's front door, then restore and try again if you don't get a smaller and simpler tower area. (The Gore Steeple and the Dreaded Refuge are the easiest.)
  • 6 of 6: In all cases, make your way to the top of the tower via ramps and side areas, then enter the Sigillum Sanguis area and grab the sigil stone from the top of the fiery column.
