ESO Solo Dungeons

Solo Dungeons offer a unique new experience in ESO! These solo versions of existing dungeons allow players to explore them at their own pace and complete their quests without having to rush.

How Solo Dungeons Work

You can access Solo Dungeons by claiming their Quest for free from the crown store and teleporting to them from the World Map. Alternatively, you can just travel to their physical location and use their entrance. When you enter a Solo Dungeon you will encounter a Meted Misfortunes and a Reset Hourglass. Solo Dungeons are identical to their 4-man versions. They have the same layout, bosses, mechanics and secrets. Their difficulty depends on the misfortunes you choose.

What are the Meted Misfortunes in ESO

Meted Misfortunes is an optional system in Solo Dungeons that offers buffs to enemies or debuffs to your character. You can pick up to three at the same time which increases the difficulty of the dungeon.

MisfortunesDifficulty
0Comparable to Overland
1Comparable to a Normal Solo Arena
2Comparable to a Veteran Solo Arena
3Harder than comparable solo content

The more Misfortunes you pick, the harder the enemies but also the better the rewards you can claim. What makes this system unique is the fact that every Solo Dungeon offers different types of Misfortunes.

With two or three Misfortunes active, you get guaranteed Monster Mask and Bust drops, as well as better chances to receive the available rewards. Not all misfortunes are equal! Some are stronger than others. Alleviating Assault for example heals enemies when you deal direct damage to them, creating a much harder experience.

Reset Hourglass

If you are not happy with your chosen Misfortunes and the overall difficulty of the Dungeon, you can use the Reset Hourglass at the entrance. This resets the Solo Dungeon and allows you to choose different Misfortunes or continue without any active.
