vitara Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 How can I open the war gate inside the first oblivion gate @ Kvatch? I tried activating it all around but it says it needs to be opened elsewhere. Apart from the door to the Blood Feast, I can't find any other place in the oblivion with a door leading to any switch to open it. Did I miss anything? o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhydderch Hael Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Typical Oblivion Plane consists of one big tower containing the energy fountain/Sigil Stone combination that keeps the gate going. Typically, in the surrounding area are smaller towers. Sometimes these satellite towers contain only treasure. Sometimes they have switches (at the very top floor) that open the huge gates. Try looking in one of the smaller towers around the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireforge124 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 No, you can't open those gates from the side you entered oblivion. You need to go left before you reach the gate. Follow that path around and you will eventually reach the tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into a tower called "Meat Harbor" or something through the Corridors of Salvation(?) but all I found was a switch at the bottom that was supposed to activate a lift called "Ascension Calls" within that tower that's too damaged to be used. Yes I found some loot there but not the switch for the war gate though. :dry: I think I was at the top floor of another tower (can't remember the name, but definitely the one where the prisoner was held) but I can't descend all the way to the bottom without a suicidal fall onto hard landing (or possibly lava - I can't rememeber). And it didn't seem to have a switch at the top either. :huh: So, is there a fourth tower that perhaps I missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhydderch Hael Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 It's been a long time since I pursued that course within the Kvatch Gate. I've opened the War Gates twice, but that was a long time ago. (I haven't bothered doing it in later incarnations). I'll have to pop a fresh character in to refresh my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJD Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I don't think u can open the war gates. When I went through the gate I didn't open a war gate. but later u will, Kvatch is an ez gate it's like a taste tester of whats to come (The Great Gate at Bruma perhaps) :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhydderch Hael Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've opened the War Gates in the Kvatch 'blivvie plane. And believe you me, those folks caught in the bulwark aren't going to pull through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I've opened the War Gates in the Kvatch 'blivvie plane. And believe you me, those folks caught in the bulwark aren't going to pull through. I believe a switch in one of the lesser towers opens them. Of course by then you'd have already been through the first few floors of the main tower. I guess it's there so that you can run out mid way through to get more potions or something without having to run back all the way. Compared to some areas where you have to run through 4 or 5 sections of underground caves, this is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FOUND THE SWITCH TO THE WAR GATE!! 8) Yep it's in one of the smaller towers in the Kvatch oblivion gate that is NOT connected by the Corridors with the other three. Just look up to the sky when you're at the bottom of the Blood Feast and you'll see it. The switch is at the very top that you can access through a working elevator and a linear spiral path around the tower. Considering that I was only level 2, I never regretted opening the War Gate there since the loot I eventually made out of the soldier corpses was quite good (if I had the baggage to carry them all out of the gate, that is :P ). I even found my first (but rather wimpy) enchanted weapon after the staff I knocked off the goblin witch in the tutorial! Thanks to all for your help! Hope you also find this useful! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
