The powerful last words of Emperor Uriel Septim will echo throughout the hero of Cyrodiil’s journey inOblivion Remastered, as it’s time once more to close shut the jaws of Oblivion. Players must run through Cyrodiil in search of Oblivion Gates, which are vile and demonic portals filled with daedra that seek to invade Tamriel, and only the player character can stop them.

How to Close Oblivion Gates in Oblivion Remastered
The first Oblivion Gate in Kvatch is a great tutorial to show players how Oblivion Gates work and how to close them. It’s worth noting that Oblivion Gatescan be rather difficult, so players should not attempt them unless they are confident in both their armor, weapons, and skills going forward. Upon finding an Oblivion Gate, players will have to fight Daedra and other creatures in order to interact with the portal itself to enter into a fiery hellscape.
The objective of closing an Oblivion Gate is simple, and each Oblivion Gate follows the same structure. Once inside, players must look up to locate the main tower, which is often noted by a sprawling stone tower with glowing markings on the top. Players will need to make their way to this tower and climb it, whereupon reaching the very top, they can pick up a Sigil Stone to destroy the Oblivion Gate and spawnback in Cyrodiil to safety.
There are no drawbacks from not closing Oblivion Gates, as outside of the main quests, they are entirely optional. However, there are some important pieces of loot to notice:
