The solo March of Sacrifices launched on October 21, 2026, along with ESO Season 2. It retains all the original bosses, secrets, and mechanics while introducing a brand-new difficulty system and exclusive rewards.
This article provides a detailed explanation of the mechanics and rewards of March of Sacrifices solo challenge in Elder Scrolls Online Season 2, helping you complete the challenge more smoothly.
About Misfortunes System
You can enter March of Sacrifices solo mode by opening the map, going to Greenshade, and selecting solo mode, or directly going to the dungeon entrance. After this update, all players can enter the dungeon for free.
Before entering the dungeon, you can choose how many Misfortunes to activate, ranging from zero to three. This is the core difficulty setting for solo mode.
When the number of Misfortunes is zero, the dungeon's difficulty is comparable to the open world content, allowing you to focus on the story and secrets.
One Misfortunes is roughly equivalent to the difficulty of a normal single-player arena, two Misfortunes are equivalent to the difficulty of a veteran single-player arena, and three Misfortunes are more difficult than the existing Elder Scrolls Online single-player content.
The more Misfortunes activated, the higher the enemy's health and damage; reaching two or more Misfortunes guarantees a Monster Mask Fragment and a Bust as a reward. Completing all challenges will earn Undaunted Crests, which can be exchanged for new monster armor sets and style pages using Undaunted Enclaves.
Boss Mechanics
Season 2 March of Sacrifices dungeon follows the same single-player and group modes, featuring five bosses. Before challenging them, ensure your character's build is capable of handling these bosses. If your combat power is insufficient, you can buy Elder Scrolls Online gold to acquire and upgrade your gear.
The Wyrd Sisters
The Wyrd Sisters are a trio that you must fight together. The tank sister, Ursus, will unleash a devastating attack that will instantly kill you if you don't block or dodge. The mage, Rangifer, will heal the other sisters, so you need to interrupt her healing spells as much as possible.
The archer, Strigidae, will release a silence aura that moves with her teleportation. Therefore, while dealing damage, you need to adjust your position to avoid being silenced.
In single-player mode, it's recommended to prioritize attacking Ursus to eliminate the enemy with the highest damage output, then Rangifer to stop her healing, and finally Strigidae.
Aghaedh of the Solstice
Aghaedh of the Solstice is a stationary boss, and understanding her seasonal mechanics is crucial. She will cycle through area-of-effect attacks around herself and summon Lurchers and Stranglers. Lurchers will launch a devastating attack that will stun you if you fail to block, but you can cancel the attack by moving behind them during the attack's wind-up.
When Aghaedh of the Solstice begins using the unavoidable annihilation damage skill Agrestal Tempest, you must use Corpse Synergy skill dropped from dead Lurchers and stand in a sapling area opposite to the current season. For example, Summer Synergy skill requires you to stand in a Winter area. If you make a mistake, you will take massive damage.
Dagrund the Bulky
The fight against Dagrund the Bulky requires agile movement; controlling the adds is crucial. He will summon Bearfang Hunters, whose ice arrows will stun you after hitting five times. Being stunned before Dagrund the Bulky's heavy attack or Triple Flame Impact is the most dangerous situation in this fight.
Kill the archers when their health reaches a threshold and keep moving to kite the areas of fire and frost they leave behind. When Dagrund casts Slinging Flame, he will throw three splitting fire whirlwinds that bounce and split, so stay away from him and keep moving, then parry or dodge his Ravaging Blow.
Tarcyr
Upon entering the area, crouch and wait for the sprites to appear. Maintain this crouched position and follow the sprites, interacting with them when they stop moving. Repeat this until Tarcyr appears.
During the fight, interrupt his lightning area-of-effect attacks, dodge the fire trails he leaves as he runs, and quickly kill the minions he summons. He will also summon charging stags, so be aware of their movement paths.
Balorgh
Balorgh is the final boss of ESO March of Sacrifices. He will unleash a cone-shaped breath attack on any player drawing aggro, so try to get them to turn away (or simply block).
In addition, he will track players using visual and auditory cues, then perform a jumping attack and summon additional enemies, so be aware of your surroundings. The main core rotation is to block his heavy attacks, dodge his breath attacks, and kill the minions he summons while dealing with them.
Secret Golden Indrik Hunts
March of Sacrifices hides three secret Golden Indrik hunting quests. Completing these quests will grant you powerful buffs throughout the subsequent gameplay.
The first hunt begins near the village after defeating The Wyrd Sisters and requires the use of Mysterious Brush or Backpack. During the hunt, portals will teleport you into the air, each portal raising you higher until a fatal fall. Avoid the portals and defeat Indrik to obtain Boon of Ferocity.
The second hunt begins in Forest of the Ghost Mother after defeating Aghaedh, using Mysterious Dirt. Fireballs will rain down from the sky, dealing increasing damage with each hit, so be sure to dodge them completely. The reward is Boon of Prowling, which removes the movement speed penalty while crouching and allows werewolves to interact with hunting ghosts.
The third hunt occurs after defeating Tarcyr and before Balorgh, requiring the use of Mysterious Mushroom. Lightning strikes the ground and spreads outwards, forming a ball of lightning that damages you and teleports you. Defeating Indrik grants you Boon of Hardiness, increasing your maximum health by 2500 and damage reduction by 5%, doubled in werewolf form.
Rewards and Sets
ESO Solo March of Sacrifices dungeon drops not only Blood Moon (a medium armor set suitable for melee light attack builds) and Hanu's Compassion (a light armor healing set), but also introduces some brand-new monster set available for trade with Undaunted Crests.
Malyn Varen Caller set is centered around bleed and werewolf form. When you use class skills or werewolf attacks to deal direct damage, it inflicts area-of-effect bleed damage and restores stamina based on the damage dealt.
Tormentor set is a defensive set that causes enemies to flee in fear when they attack you; if the enemy cannot be feared, it applies a severe cowardice effect, giving you an advantage in solo combat.
This concludes the guide for ESO Season 2 Echoes of Skyrim Solo March of Sacrifices. Master these tips before tackling this dungeon. Remember, the higher your Misfortunes level, the greater your chances of obtaining these rewards.
