Uncover deathly secrets in the Dark Heart of Skyrim, ESO's next big year-long adventure. Beginning this February with the Harrowstorm DLC, the story continues with the new Chapter, The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor, arriving PC/Mac on May 18 and Xbox One and PlayStation®4 on June 2.




An ancient evil emerges from the depths, intent on devouring the souls of Skyrim. A dark tide of monsters rise from Blackreach and threatens to plunge all of Tamriel into darkness.

In the Dark Heart of Skyrim, you can experience a new year-long adventure, beginning with the upcoming Harrowstorm DLC dungeon pack and continuing through the Greymoor Chapter and beyond. You can experience the entire massive story in these upcoming releases:

• Harrowstorm DLC dungeon pack
• Greymoor Chapter
• Unannounced Q3 DLC dungeon pack
• Unannounced Q4 DLC story zone

Keep an eye on for more updates on this new year-long epic soon, starting with Harrowstorm!


The Dark Heart of Skyrim storyline begins with the Harrowstorm dungeon DLC, kicking off as soon as this February. Featuring two new dungeons, Harrowstorm has you contend with a supernatural storm in Icereach and explore the depths of Unhallowed Grave. As you discover the dark forces that threaten Skryim, the events of this DLC will lead directly into the Greymoor Chapter.


Supernatural harrowstorms plague Western Skyrim, and dark beasts, led by a powerful Vampire Lord, devour souls to further their mysterious plans. In The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor, ESO’s newest Chapter, you must defend the besieged Nords and uncover the evil behind this monstrous resurgence.  

This Chapter brings all-new adventures to ESO players, including:

•  A new zone to explore: Western Skyrim
• A gothic main story quest line that ties into the Dark Heart of Skyrim adventure
• An intriguing new system: Antiquities
• A massive new 12-player Trial: Kyne’s Aegis
• New world events: Harrowstorms
• New delves, public dungeons, and stand-alone quests
• Updates and quality-of-life improvements including a rework of the Vampire Skill Line (free for all ESO players)

The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor is coming to PC/Mac on May 18 and Xbox One and PlayStation®4 on June 2. You can pre-purchase Greymoor right now for PC/Mac and Xbox One. Greymoor is coming soon to the PlayStation®Store—check this help article for more information.

In addition to this, we are thrilled to announce that Greymoor will be coming to Stadia. Stay tuned for more information about how you can play ESO on Stadia in the coming months!

Explore Skyrim Above and Below

In Greymoor, you can return to the snow-swept home of the Nords and explore the region of Western Skyrim. Currently in ESO, you adventure along Skyrim’s eastern zones of Eastmarch, Bleakrock, and the Rift, but in this new Chapter, you can explore the other side of the province, including the city of Solitude and the deepest depths of Blackreach, a subterranean world beneath!


Explore Solitude 1000 years before The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

As you venture across this new zone, you’ll encounter the hardy Nords who call it home and discover a host of interesting side quests, delves, public dungeons, world bosses, a trial, and the new harrowstorm world events. Enough to keep any intrepid adventurer busy!

A Gothic Tale

As part of the Dark Heart of Skyrim year-long adventure, Greymoor’s main story continues the ominous narrative that begins in the Harrowstorm DLC dungeon pack. In this latest Chapter, you must investigate the evil behind the supernatural storms that have swept across the region.

While Greymoor’s main story is part of the year-long tale, you don’t need to have completed the Harrowstorm DLC to follow and enjoy the adventure. How you choose to experience Tamriel and the Dark Heart of Skyrim is up to you!

Antiquities System

The new Chapter also features the all-new antiquities system. This in-game activity allows you to uncover lost artifacts scattered across Tamriel. As an up-and-coming archaeologist, you can scry the location of ancient relics and excavate them via a series of new minigames.


Discover and unearth lost relics

The relics you can uncover include unique collectibles such as furnishings and mementos, and they are not limited to the new zone, but instead see you travel to every corner of the continent. Tamriel’s hidden history is yours to discover!

You can pre-purchase The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor now to receive unique rewards at launch, including the Jarl Finery costume, Jarl Crown adornment, Sacrificial Pocket Mammoth pet (actual sacrifice optional), Treasure Maps, a Nightfall Preview Crown Crate, and Experience Scrolls. In addition to this, for digital pre-purchases only, you receive immediate access to the Holdbreaker Warhorse mount!

Who knows no fear of beast or blade? The Undaunted Celebration event is back! Clear dungeons to earn bonus rewards and Event Tickets. We are Undaunted!

With the recent implementation of several fixes for the Activity Finder, we are inviting everyone to try out the updated tool on the live servers. To help us reach the desired population and Activity Finder load, we are re-enabling the Undaunted Celebration event from Thursday, January 9 at 10:00AM EST through Monday, January 13 at 10:00AM EST. We believe that these latest fixes will allow for a better experience, but we will be closely monitoring performance throughout the event in case of further issues. 

Thank you for your patience throughout this process and for helping us ensure that the overall Activity Finder is improved.


Kicking off this Thursday, January 9 at 10:00AM EST, and running until Monday, January 13 at 10:00AM EST, the Undaunted Celebration event returns, bringing new rewards for Tamriel’s brave dungeon delvers.

To participate in this event, take on Tamriel’s four-player dungeons by using the Dungeon Finder tool or by traveling to a dungeon with your group. Normal or Veteran difficulty, it’s up to you!


When you defeat a dungeon’s final boss during the Undaunted Celebration, it’ll drop a special Undaunted Reward Box in addition to its usual loot. In these containers, you can discover all kinds of useful and valuable items, such as Undaunted Keys, Undaunted plunder, motif pages, repair kits, transmute crystals, riding lessons, and more.

However, that’s not all! During this event only, you also have the chance to acquire special “Opal” versions of the classic Monster Weapon, Mask, and Shoulder styles for the following bosses:

• Bloodspawn
• Illambris
• Engine Guardian
• Troll King

Here’s how you can earn these shiny new style pages:

Opal Monster Weapon Outfit Style

The first time you slay a dungeon’s final boss each day, you’ll earn a special Hefty Undaunted Reward box. These larger containers house the same items as their smaller cousins, but they also contain a random page of the new Opal Monster Weapon Outfit style pages. Note that Opal Monster Weapon Outfit style pages can drop from regular Undaunted Reward Boxes on very rare occasions, but the only way to get one guaranteed is from a Hefty box.

Opal Monster Masks Outfit Style

If you’re interested in the Masks, the Opal Monster Mask styles can drop from Veteran Hard Mode final bosses within Spindleclutch II (Bloodspawn), Crypt of Hearts I (Illambris), Darkshade Caverns II (Engine Guardian), and Blessed Crucible (Troll King). If you’re interested only in the regular version of the Masks, they will still drop on Veteran difficulty, too.

Opal Monster Shoulder Outfit Style

Finally, the Opal Shoulder Outfit Style pages for the above monsters will be available from Undaunted vendors during the event, too. Note that you must own the normal versions (also available from the same vendors) of the Shoulders first before you can acquire the Opal ones.


Grab Shoulder style pages from Undaunted vendors


When participating in the Undaunted Celebration, you can earn three Event Tickets the first time you slay any final boss in any dungeon each day. Here’s a list of goods available at the Impresario:

• All four Indrik Feathers (for summoning a Nascent Indrik)
• Opal Monster Outfit Styles (including Weapons, Masks, and Shoulders)

Note: There are no new Indrik Berries arriving with the Undaunted Celebration, but they are coming! Be sure to stock up on Indrik Feathers and Event Tickets for the next, soon-to-be-announced event
Tamriel’s dungeons can be daunting for new initiates, but there’s never been a better time to group up and take on some of ESO’s most fun and challenging PvE content!

Glory and shiny new loot awaits the Undaunted. Are you excited to dive into some dungeons during this event? Let us know on Twitter at @TESOnline, Instagram, or Facebook.

The Undaunted Celebration event begins Thursday, January 9 at 10:00AM EST, and will run until Monday, January 13 at 10:00AM EST.
