With Sheogorath gone, speak to Haskill nearby and ask about the next steps. He will give you a Knifepoint Crystal and then task you with remaking the Staff of Sheogorath, so you can claim the Throne of Madness.
3 Travel to Knifepoint Hollow

Travel to Knifepoint Hollow. To get there, fast travel to Bliss in New Sheoth and make your way northwest until you find a large tree with glowing mushrooms near a lake. Enter the cave through a root door beneath the tree.
4 Find Dyus
TES IV Oblivion Ancient Door
Once inside, take the left path and continue forward until you reach an Ancient Door. Interact with the door to make it crumble, where you will find Dyus sitting on a throne.
TES IV Oblivion Talk to Dyus
Talk to Dyus and ask about the Staff of Sheogorath. He will then ask you to find two items: the Eye of Ciirta and a Branch of the Tree of Shades. Make sure to ask about the locations of both items so they are marked on your map.
5 Head to Howling Halls
TES IV Oblivion Howling Halls
You can obtain the two items in any order, but for this walkthrough, we’ll start with the Eye of Ciirta, which is located in Howling Halls.

Fast travel to the Crucible in New Sheoth and head south until you reach a stone ruin up a hill.
6 Reach the Antechamber

Enter the Howling Halls and head west. Interact with the Metal Door to reach a large hall, then continue forward into the Congregation Chambers. Watch out for enemies roaming the ruins!

Head north, go upstairs, and turn left into the doorway beside the staircase. Continue through the dining hall and enter the Antechamber.
TES IV Oblivion Very Hard Metal Door
Advance forward until you reach a Metal Door with a Very Hard lock. Use the Howling Chamber Key (dropped by enemies in the area) or a lockpick to open it.
▶ Where to Get Lockpicks
7 Obtain Ciirta's Eye
TES IV Oblivion Kill Ciirta
Once the Metal Door is open, kill Ciirta inside. Be prepared, as she will be surrounded by enemies.

After killing Ciirta, loot her body to obtain Ciirta's Eye. Exit the Howling Halls the way you came.
8 Head to Milchar

For the second item, fast travel to Hale in Mania and head southeast until you see a large, short tree with a narrow entrance. Enter the ruin through the root door.

Interact with the Standing Stone to summon a shadowy version of yourself. Defeat your doppelganger!
10 Obtain the Branch
TES IV Oblivion Tree of Shades
After defeating your doppelganger, interact with the nearby Tree of Shades to obtain the Branch of the Tree of Shades.
11 Return to Dyus

With all items in hand, return to Dyus in Knifepoint Hollow. Watch as he creates the Staff of Sheogorath, then take the staff.
