Tips

  • Defeating Dagoth Vemyn will permanently reduce Dagoth Ur's strength, making the final confrontation easier.
  • Sunder is a required tool to destroy the Heart of Lorkhan; take care not to equip it without first wearing Wraithguard, as doing so will inflict fatal damage.
  • Bring potions or spells to Cure Blight Disease and Cure Common Disease, as Sixth House enemies here can easily infect you.
