First Oblivion Gate ***Spoiler Alert***

Post by GrumpyOldMan65 »

I know this is a noob question. I've done this part of the quest before, but I restarted and I am completely lost. I've entered Kvatch and spoken to Martin. How do I proceed? I can't leave through the set of doors on the far right because the guard won't let anyone go thru that door. How do I get into the area with the 3 bridges (I believe)?

The guard in the temple won't let you through until the captain makes it to the temple. You have to close the oblivion gate, talk to the guard captain at the barricade again, and help them clear out a path from the main gate to the temple. Only then can you proceed to the rest of Kvatch.
Can the answer to this question be "No"?

yeah, a little known glitch happens with that actually.

If you go inside the church early enough, the captain will be for some reason stuck outside. I learned this the hard way of standing for 10 minutes doing nothing. Go back out the other way and make sure you see the captain go in, then follow him.

That should bring up a conversation between NPC's and then you'll be able to go forward.

But how do you close the Oblivion Gate? I've spoken to Savlian Matius and entered through the Gate into Kvatch. Am I supposed to walk through the ring of fire and then through the wooden gates to the city?

No, you need to walk up to the oblivion gate and stand really close to it, then press the button you normally would press to open a door. After that, you'd be taken straight to the realms of oblivion. You actually have to go in oblivion to close the gate, and then once the gate is closed, that's when the captain joins you in rescuing kvatch.
