The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Oblivion World 4
1 of 5: You'll emerge from the gate facing south, and you'll see two big Oblivion citadels just ahead of you to the left and right, connected by a large stone bridge that's a bit above your head. A ways south past the bridge, you can see another citadel in the distance.
2 of 5: That third citadel off in the distance is the one with the sigil stone, but it's on a separate island to the south, and there's no intact bridge leading across to that island.
3 of 5: You can get across the lava to that island at a narrow point, but you may prefer to use the two smaller citadels to get across.
4 of 5: If you crossed using a smaller citadel, you'll be able to go up a short ramp to a door to the Corridors of Dark Salvation. If you crossed the lava and entered the Blood Fortress through its front entrance, you'll have to go through a bit more to get to that same door.
5 of 5: From there, go through the usual routine of climbing up to the door to the Sigillum Sanguis section, where you can nab the sigil stone to close the Oblivion gate and get teleported back to where you entered it.
