The Deadlands is a portion of the Deadlands that appears in The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood. It can be accessed from Oblivion Portals found throughout Blackwood, which produced a plume of flame that can be seen from afar (but not to same extent as other insurgent-type events like Dark Anchors). The portals are typically guarded by a few Daedra.
Entering a portal places one on one of the various islands. Several groups of enemies, along with two bosses, guard the way to Havocrel's Tower. The final boss is fought after passing through the tower. One can also use the portals to travel to different places in Blackwood.
Note that other players may join as the game treats this as a public dungeon and not an instance, so enemies and bosses may be defeated already. One can wait for the bosses to respawn to earn rewards.[?]
Sublocations[]
Various islands[]
Two islands must be traveled through to reach the next area, each connected by portals. A boss can spawn at the end of each.[?]
Havocrel's Tower[]
There are no enemies here, save for four Fire Behemoth statues that will light up when close to. Activating all four and defeating them will unlock an optional boss. The next area is reached by descending the stairs in the middle.
Valley of the Cataclyst[]
A few enemies are found leading up to the final boss. Waves of enemies must be defeated to summon him. The boss will periodically shield himself summon enemies, which will empower him if they are not defeated quickly. Defeating the boss and destroying the Daedric Device clears the encounter and gives access to a reward chest
