Dagoth Ur

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind® Game of the Year Edition guide · The final confrontation
← All areas in this guide

This is the volcanic facility inside Red Mountain where the final main quest showdown takes place. You must confront Dagoth Ur in his shrine, pursue him into the Heart Chamber, and destroy the Heart of Lorkhan using Sunder and Keening. Once the Heart is destroyed, Dagoth Ur loses his immortality and the Blight is permanently stopped.

Items

0/1

Enemies

Dagoth Ur (Shrine)

Fights you in the outer shrine; teleports to the Heart Chamber after being reduced to 0 health.

Dagoth Ur (Heart Chamber)

Completely invincible while the Heart of Lorkhan exists; ignore him and target the Heart directly.

Heart of Lorkhan

Must be struck once with Sunder and five or more times with Keening while wearing Wraithguard.

Tips

  • You must equip Wraithguard before equipping Sunder or Keening, otherwise wielding either artifact will rapidly drain your health to zero.
  • Use Levitation or high-magnitude Slowfall inside the Heart Chamber to navigate down to the Heart quickly while avoiding Dagoth Ur's attacks.
  • Do not waste weapon durability, potions, or magic trying to kill Dagoth Ur in the Heart Chamber until you have successfully severed his connection to the Heart.
  • Speak to the apparition of the goddess Azura in the entrance chamber after the battle to receive the Heart Ring and view the ending cutscene.
