Get Back to Nature in Elder Scrolls Online's Lost Depths DLC

Druids, dungeons and danger

by Khayl Adam Fri 19th Aug 2022

The Elder Scrolls Online is a bottomless pit of content that you can lose yourself in for weeks at a time, with developer ZeniMax Online Studios cranking out content at a cracking pace. The next DLC is the Lost Depths, which further expands upon High Isle's foundation, and it's coming to PS5 and PS4 on 6th September.

The Lost Depths will take players to the wild interior, both above and below the surface of the earth, in a new quest to contain an ancient evil. It represents the next chapter in the ongoing Legacy of the Bretons storyline and will introduce new areas, dungeons, enemies, gear and lore for players to unearth.

It's pretty cool that Elder Scrolls Online is supported in the fashion that it is because, let's face it, we won't be seeing the Elder Scrolls 6 on PlayStation platforms and thus remains our only portal into the world of Tamriel.

Are you up to date with ESO? Are you looking forward to descending into the Lost Depths? Gather your party and venture into the comments section below.

Only just got round to getting the High Isle expansion due to it being in a sale (< £30 for the Collectors edition whereas standard edition is still £33?) and making use of Shop To's discounted wallet top ups (£30 = £26.85)

The base game, including Morrowind and maybe Summerset now, is about £5 on the PSN store at the moment. For the amount of content, it's worth a punt.

Perhaps I need to get a XSS when ES6 lands finally - can you pair a Dualshock 4 to it, only my similarly sized thumbs don't agree with the offset sticks?

Apart from the base game, what is considered the best expansion so far? And can you start your game there?

@Nightcrawler71 Best expansions are subjective, but for me, so far, they are Wrothgar (Orcs) and Summerset (High Elves).

You can definitely start in Summerset - not sure about Wrothgar? Summerset has some nice conclusions to stories from the Morrowind chapter but it's not essential to play that first, just makes the ending a bit more poignant.

At this rate any platform will be lucky to see the elder Scrolls 6!😉 But I really need to get back into this. But the thought of having to restart cause all my save data is on Xbox. But the missus has a PS5 now so I could play with her on the PS4...

@HollowSpectre all it take is will... LOL

I played on PS4 since 2015, and last month restarted all on PC after the launch of High Isle...

At this moment I 've finished all the chapters (in this order High Isle, Base Game + Cadwell SIlver/Gold, Morrowind, Summerset, Elsweyr, Greymoor, Blackwood) and only need to finish the DLC Orsinium (I've have finished all the others)...

I didn't rush and took my time (except on Greymoor, I found this chapter and subsquent DLC very tedious, for me the "worst" of them all).
