Preview of capsizing depths
All who travel the Sea of Abegean know the dangers of the Capsizing Depths, a mysterious region notorious for the disappearance of numerous ships. Unfortunately for you, your ship is the latest casualty of these treacherous latitudes, causing you and your party to wash up on an uncharted island in its center. Luckily you are not alone, as Dhulef, a Mages Guild researcher, also survived the shipwreck and has a quest for you.
“Your goal in the Capsizing Depths is to help Dhulef get to the bottom of this mysterious part of the oceanexplains Mike Finnigan, Encounters Lead of TESO (buy now €49.99). “Dhulef is looking for information about the legendary Druid King and his journey to the Systren, which also led through those very realms. What he finds out has repercussions for both the Systren Archipelago and the druids of High Island.“

While the island may at first appear like any of those scattered around Tamriel, after a little exploration you’ll soon come to the conclusion that a massive Dwemer complex lies far beneath the waves – an opportunity for our developers to create something very unique . “The Capsizing Depths gave us a chance to research Dwemer technology not seen before in Tamriel“, according to Finnigan. “This place was built a long time ago as a kind of underwater observatory. Sending players deep into the ocean was a fantastic opportunity.“

As you and your party traverse the island, you must first deal with the monsters that reside there, including a fearsome Hadolid and other creatures. “With the capsizing depths we introduce Pangrit. These are smaller, beastlike creatures that live alongside the hadolids, almost like pets“, explains Finnigan. “The Hadolids use Bristle Toss to rouse the Pangrit to action. Knowing when and where to shake off the effect is important.“

As you descend into the depths of the Dwemer complex beneath the island, you will encounter the spirits and remnants of those claimed by the Capsizing Depths, as undead sailors, the spirits of lost captains, and worse stand in your way to the core of the facility. These Guardians also include battles against challenging bosses for your party to overcome, such as a Hadolid known as a euphotic gatekeeper and a powerful lich who guards the origins of the island’s mysterious storms.
Of course, Finnigan also recommends that you take a closer look at all the nooks and crannies as you explore the dungeon’s vast terrain. “Get everything! This dungeon is beautiful and it was an absolute pleasure to bring it to lifesays Finnigan. “You look out the windows and discover all the little details, like shipwrecks, ancient Dwemer technology, schools of fish, ghosts of dead sailors banging against the glass and much more.“

Rewards of the capsizing depths
As you battle your way into the heart of the Capsizing Depths, you’ll have the opportunity to earn a bevy of dungeon-themed rewards, including three new armor sets, a mask set (Euphotic Gatekeeper), achievements, and collectibles. Among the three new sets is Inevitability of the Grave, which grants you and your allies additional critical damage when you slot Light and Heavy Attacks into your rotation.

“‘Inevitability of the Grave is a great set for fighters and healers because both roles can use major and minor power in organized and even ragtag groups“explains Stephen Cerretani, combat designer behind the new sets from Lost Depths. “Since greater power can only be drawn from a few sources, this set offers a bit more flexibility on your quick bar if you’re traveling in a ragtag group, or the whole group if it’s more organized.“
By completing some of the dungeon’s achievements, you can earn various collectibles, including Dhulef’s Hydrosphere (for completing Veteran mode), Draoife’s Touch face and body paint, or the Fist of Tava title. You’ll also receive the Mulberry Hermit Crab pet when you first enter Capsizing Depths or Earthroot Enclave simply for being washed ashore!
