Oblivion:The Lust Keep

This tower can be visited when accessing the Main Tower from Oblivion Worlds 1, 3, 5, 6 or 7. In order to reach the Sigil Stone on top of this tower, you are required to pass through a few hallways before reaching the Sigillum Sanguis. There is some loot to be found in the hallways, and some boss-level loot in the Sigillum Sanguis.

 


This tower consists of three levels: one ground level and two upper levels. You can either turn left or right at the entrance. Both ways lead you to one of the doors to the Rending Halls. There is little else on the ground level, other that an extra Daedra to fight.

Your route over the next level depends on which exit from the Rending Halls you chose. If you see the door to the Corridors of Dark Salvation right in front of you, you have ascend the tower through those halls. Otherwise you can use the long ramp to ascend the tower, the exit from the Corridors of Dark Salvation is halfway. In both cases you finally arrive at the top of the first level, where you can see two Runed Portals. Both portals teleport you to directly above; the second level.

The second level only contains a few Dremora and the doors to the Sigillum Sanguis.

Depending on which entrance you used, you start in these halls at either the northeastern or northwestern end. When you ascend the ramp you will arrive in a big room. Here you can decide which route to take. When you use the northwestern exit you can skip the Corridors of Dark Salvation entirely, but you will lose out on some loot. It is recommended to visit the middle room (past a locked door, from both directions) for some loot. Be careful of the Land Mines there.

Ascend the ramp and pass through the opening to find yourself in the room that contains the Sigil Stone. Be careful, as you will find one Daedra already downstairs. You can find two Magicka Essences and two Daedra on the next level. At the top platform you can find a boss-level Daedra and a boss-level The Punished. Be careful if you are sneaking that the Daedra can spot you easier than that you're used to, due to the openness of the area. Once you have reached the top you can grab the Sigil Stone to close the Oblivion Gate.
