The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Stadia) now offers a huge selection of dungeons. In a survey on Reddit, players can now choose the easiest and hardest dungeons. We have the first results for you.
In The Elder Scrolls Online, the ever-growing player base can enjoy themselves in many dungeons. Each of these offers various difficulty levels in ESO. But which dungeons are the hardest and which are the easiest?
The Reddit user grimr7529 has taken it upon himself to answer this question and has started an extensive survey.
Here’s what the survey looks like: grimr7529 created a survey on the website surveyplanet. It includes 38 dungeons from The Elder Scrolls Online. There you can rate them in different categories:
- Normal difficulty
- Veteran difficulty (no hard mode)
- and Veteran difficulty (with hard mode)
The rating options range from 0 (easy) to 10 (hard). Players have participated in the survey and shared their personal assessments of the difficulty of individual dungeons with us. The survey is still ongoing, but an initial result has already been published.
The evaluation should be taken with a grain of caution. It is not a scientific survey, yet it provides some interesting results.
Reddit is looking for the hardest dungeon
This is the score distribution: The survey results have all possible ratings represented. It starts very easily with a score of 0.1 in the normal mode of “Mushroom Cave I”. The highest score is held by “Scalecaller Peak” with 6.9 points in hard mode.
The 4 hardest dungeons in ESO
The scores are closely spaced. However, according to the survey, the hardest dungeons are:
- Frostvault – This dungeon was introduced with the “Wrathstone” addon in 2019
- Bloodroot Forge – Part of the “Horns of the Reach” expansion from 2017
- Moon Hunter Keep – You can enjoy yourself here since “Wolfhunter” in 2018
- Scalecaller Peak – This dungeon was introduced with the “Dragon Bones” expansion in 2018
A score close to 10 cannot be established. According to the Reddit user, no dungeon is, on average, very hard or even too hard. Whether this changes with the new dungeons in the Harrowstorm addon remains to be seen:
- The normal dungeons have an average difficulty of 1.62 with just under 3000 votes.
- The veteran dungeons have a score of 2.91 (without hard mode) or 3.59 (with hard mode). Here the votes are slightly fewer, but still over 2000.
It can be stated that some dungeons rise or fall in ranking when their difficulty level changes. While, for example, “Moon Hunter Keep” holds the first position in the first two categories as the hardest dungeon, it falls behind “Scalecaller Peak” in the third category (veteran dungeon with hard mode).
Thus, Scalecaller Peak is currently the “hardest” dungeon in ESO.
This is what some players want: A further discussion has begun in the comments. There has been a request for a new difficulty level:
I think we need a new difficulty level for dungeons: Hardcore or Nightmare […]

This is hardly surprising considering the survey. Even the dungeons that should be the hardest have only moderate ratings.
What do you consider the easiest and hardest dungeon in The Elder Scrolls Online?
