The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Where is it?
1 of 7: At the NE tip of a small island a ways north and west of the Oblivion gate.
2 of 7: From the gate, head east and then north to reach a very short, broken bridge.
3 of 7: Cross it and go forward to where there are two large red-tipped spiky structures sticking up on the left.
4 of 7: Go between the two spiky structures and carefully drop to the ground down below.
5 of 7: Jump across the lava at its narrowest point, then make your way NW to where a large fallen gate helps you to get across the lava and onto the island you're after.
6 of 7: Move along the island to its NE tip, then look around for the door to the Fume Vaults.
7 of 7: It's on low ground right next to the lava, and there isn't much of a safe walkway in front of it.
