The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Guide | How To Solve Rodgar's Chest Puzzle

To solve Rodgar's Chest Puzzle during the Wisdom of the Ages quest, you'll need to follow several steps and interact with various items. 

Starting the Puzzle

When you arrive in the puzzle zone, go up to the central chest on the floor. You will be given a goblet. You have to put this and the objects that follow in the proper compartments beneath the statues that line the chamber. When you put something in its place, its corresponding statue will turn to look at you. 

If you put it in the wrong one, you'll end up with something other than the item from the chest, and the process may have to start over. If you are halfway and something and made a mistake, just keep putting bad items in until you get the goblet back and redo, starting with these steps.

Rodgar's Goblet

Once you get Rodgar's Goblet, don't put it in the glowing statue. Instead, move to the statue in the back corner (not the glowing one) and insert the goblet into the box. If the statue should now be turned towards you as you insert it there, you're on the right path.

Rodgar's Book

Take the book from the middle chest. Take it to the right compartment on the edge and put it in the correct box. Again, make sure the statue spins.

Rodgar's Hammer

After placing the book, return to Rodgar's Hammer. You'll want to insert this into the chest further along the room. After doing so, check that the statue turns as usual.

Rodgar's Sword

Return to the grand chest and collect Rodgar's Sword. Proceed to the next statue near the border you haven't interacted with yet and place it inside the box. Observe the statue turning to verify.

Rodgar's Helm

Take Rodgar's Helm out of the main chest and put it into the middle statue's chest on the other side. This will also face-turn the statue.

Rodgar's Stone

Lastly, pick Rodgar's Stone from the middle chest and place it in the other chest beside the last statue. The puzzle will then be complete.

Finishing the Puzzle

After all the objects are positioned where they need to be and all the statues have turned around, the door behind the main chest will open. Go through it, and you'll find the final room. There, you can retrieve the shield, which completes the puzzle.
