Red Mountain

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind® Game of the Year Edition guide · Entering the Blight region
← All areas in this guide

Red Mountain is the ash-choked volcanic wasteland enclosed by the magical Ghostfence, serving as the central stronghold of Dagoth Ur and the Sixth House. Traversing the region requires surviving hostile Blighted fauna, Ash Vampires, and ash storms while seeking out the Citadel of Dagoth Ur and surrounding Dwemer fortresses. During the main quest, the Nerevarine enters this region to defeat Dagoth Ur's lieutenants and infiltrate the volcano to sever the Heart of Lorkhan.

Tips

  • Bring multiple Potions or Spells of Cure Blight Disease, as many creatures in this area transmit infections that heavily penalize your attributes.
  • The Ghostgate features two switch pillars near the central gate structure to lower and raise the force field for passage through the Ghostfence.
  • Equipping Wraithguard is mandatory before striking the Heart of Lorkhan with Keening or Sunder; handling either weapon without Wraithguard rapidly drains health.
