Quest Text:
I’ve awakened the spirit of an ancient Dark Elf scribe named Mavos Siloreth. Mavos’s spirit can’t remember how he bound Balreth in the original ceremony. To help me, he’s going to perform a ritual and show me a vision of the past.

Starting NPC:
Mavos Siloreth

Part of:
Othrenis Objective
First objective:
Mavos’ ritual requires two items: a skull and a candle. These items are locked in chests to the east and west. I’ll need to solve a puzzle at each chest to obtain them.

Steps:
  • Collect Candle
  • Collect Skull
Guide:
Objective 1: Collect Candle / Skull
For Skull Shrine Color Combination is: Yellow-Blue-Yellow.
For Candle Shrine color combination is: Red-Yellow-Blue.


These puzzle solving combinations were active during the beta. Couple of tips can help you out if it changed since the beta. Tip 1: During the night, there are shrines above the ones you are trying to mix colors with. These shrines have colors shining in night. Copy their combinations and you are done. Tip 2: If you come here during the day, and the combination above is not true, you should attempt finding the right combination manually. Start with (for example) combination of colors : Blue-Blue and then mix the third one Blue/Yellow/Red. Now change the second color. Start with: Blue-Yellow and then mix the third one Blue/Yellow/Red. Eventually you end up with changing the first color as well and end up with the right combination.

Objective 2: Talk to Mavos / Acolyte
When you get back to Mavos, he teleports you to the Acolyte and the objectives that come after.

Objective 3: Shut Southern/ Western / Northern Daedric Portal
Approach to Fire Portals and use your default action button to shut them down.

Objective 4: Talk to Magister Enuse

Objective 5: Summon a Guardian at the Western / Eastern Flame Well
Upon using one Flame Well, the other one receive a short reset limit. Don’t freak out because it will reset after a short pause.

Objective 6: Talk to Mavos

Objective 7: Use the Altar
Completing this objective takes us back to the starting location.

Objective 8: Talk to Mavos

Screenshot Walkthrough

Skull Shrine Color Combination: Yellow-Blue-Yellow

Candle Shrine Color Combination: Red-Yellow-Blue

The Death Of Balreth

« Click here to see a list of all quests in Stonefalls
Level:
8

Zone:
Stonefalls

Quest Text:
I’ve defeated Ash Mountain’s guardians. Now I must enter Ash Mountain’s caldera, defeat Balreth, and imprison him again.

Starting NPC:
Walks-in-Ash

Part of:
Ash Mountain Objective
First objective:
I should use the ritual braziers to summon the guardians. Then I can open the portal into <<1>>.

Steps:
  • Summon <<1>>
  • Summon <<1>>
Guide:

Objective 1: Summon Blaze and Ragebinder
This part is the same as the objective in "Rending Flames" quest. Blaze’s Ritual Braziers are just south of the location where you’ve picked the "The Death of Balreth" quest.

Objective 2: Talk to Mavos Siloreth
Mavos is satisfied with your work and he opens up a portal behind him. At this point you might want to invite some other people around the portal to join you for this quest.

Objective 3:Enter Ash Mountain
This is where the hardest part of
"The Death of Balreth" takes place.



Objective: Defeat Balreth
Balreth has three important characteristics you should be aware of. The First move: Balreth patrols from one lava pool to another. When he reaches it, he starts regaining his health. The Second Move: While he is on a platform where he patrols, he summons an add and casts a fire trail that moves away from him.

How to deal with him alone? At the same platform where you fight vs Balreth there is NPC called Garyn Indoril. This npc is your ticket to a winning the fight. If you stand close to him he revives your health, magicka and stamina. Another helpful device is the Storm Talisman. This medium time cooldown ability allows you to stun Balreth for a short period of time.

How to defeat Balreth? Damage, damage, damage. This should be followed by a wise usage of Storm Talisman. Sometimes this Storm Talisman stops Balreth from regaining his health in lava pools. Nevertheless, use it while he is still on the platform to slow his movement towards the other lava pool. Be close to Garyn Indoril for faster regeneration of your health and mana.

Objective 4: Talk to Mavos Siloreth
When you defeat Balreth, Mavos Siloreth shows up on the same platform.



Objective 5: Leave Ash Mountain and Talk to Walks-in-Ash
Portal that teleports you out of Ash Mountain, takes you to your last quest objective NPC.

This mission rewards achievement "The Death of Balreth" at the end of successful completion.

Screenshot Walkthrough

Light up Blaze’s Ritual Brazier.

…but there is Garyn Ondoril and Storm Talisman..

Mavos Siloreth is there to praise your success.

Leave Ash Mountain through the portal.

Quest Text:
Zasha-Ja fears for the survival of the Hist Tree the Argonians transplated from Black Marsh to Ebonheart. He thinks the Dark Elves of House Dres poisoned it, so he wants to fertilize it to encourage its growth.

Starting NPC:
Zasha-Ja

First objective:
Mudcrabs are common around the shores of the Argonian quarter north of Ebonheart. Their meat is a convenient fertilizer. Ashreed grows in the shallow waters. It would work well as a wrapper for crab meat.

Steps:
  • Collect <<1>>
  • Collect <<1>>
Guide:
Quest giver NPC is inside a large hut in northern Ebonheart.

Objective 1: Collect 3 Mudcrab Meat and 4 Ashreeds

Objective 2: Talk to Zasha-Ja
She sometimes spawns right after you complete the previous objective. Pay attention if she spawns near you, as you can save yourself some time.

Objective 3: Fertilize the Hist Sapling
Hist Sapling is a small tree, north of the hut from where you have taken the quest. This tree is on top of a small island in the middle of a pond. Approach it and use the default action button in order to fertilize.

Objective 4: Talk to Zasha-Ja and Biiril
At this point the quest is almost done so go back to the hut and talk with Zasha-Ja and Biiril for mission completion.

Screenshot Walkthrough

Recovering The Guar

Level:

Zone:
Stonefalls

Quest Text:
The herd of guar at the sulfur pools stampeded during the Covenant attack. Now they’re scattered. If I can calm them and fit them with the proper harnesses, the animals should return to the stable on their own.

Starting NPC:
Hennus

First objective:
Guar have stampeded and scattered throughout the sulfur pools. They’re peaceful creatures, but I’ll still need to persuade them to return to their stables.

Steps:
  • Send Guar Home
Guide:
You can find "Recovering the Guar" NPC quest giver Hennus next to a small pond in Sulfur Pools.

In order to send 6 Guars home you should collect the Guar Harness first. Ingame description of Guar Harness – These heavy leather straps and yokes are used to attach a mine cart to a guar for towing.
You can collect them from dead Guars. Dead Guars are all around Sulfur Pools. Once you have them, find live Guars and attach Harnesses to them. Miraculously they find their way home now. This counts toward the quest objective – Send Guar Home. There is a limited number of Guars in the area and other players can send them home as well. This means that if there are many players in the area, finding Guars might be a problem.

Jin-Ei, the final quest objective NPC gives a valuable prize for completion of this quest.

Screenshot Walkthrough

Jin-Ei takes good care of them now.

Notes:
This is the last quest in the Glenumbra Moors chain. Up to this point pretty much everything was straight forward, but now you have to decide whether to go after Faolchu or rescue Alana.

SPOILERS

Choosing to go after Faolchu with the soldiers makes this mission a bit easier, but saving Alana is a morally correct choice. Whichever you choose here are the outcomes. Spoilers ahead (you have been warned).

Rescue Alana

Saving Alana will doom the soldiers sent to kill Faolchu, but it will also alter the present (remember, you are in the past and effectivly changing the present). Saving Alana is easy and you are sent to kill Faolchu in any case, only you will not be accompanied by soldiers. The trick to killing him is drawing him across fires in the cave. This weakens and stuns him for a few seconds and will deal more damage than anything you can dish out solo. Surprising outcome of this choice is that the present is now changed and there is a direct descendant of Alana waiting for you outside and some additional changes have happened.

Kill Faolchu

You will have some soldiers accompany you into Faolchu’s lair. Kill the mobs and when Faolchu lands your goal is to make him walk through fires, which will weaken him and make him open to your attacks.

Mounts in Elder Scrolls Online

You can buy your first horse / mount at any major city Stable (marked with a horse icon on the map), for approximately 17,500 gold. Stable interface allows you to buy, access, feed, rename and sell your horse. Mounts, have three main functions in the Elder Scrolls Online. They allow you to travel more quickly (speed), increase your inventory space (capacity), and can be useful in Cyrondiil as combat warhorse that have higher resistance to caltrops and traps (Stamina). Each horse has a level cap of 50, which would make it impossible to max all three attributes. You can assign your mount to a quickslot for convenience.
 

Horse Attributes

  • Speed helps your horse to travel more quickly.
  • Stamina helps your horse to gallop longer, and take more hits before becoming dismounted.
  • Capacity increases carrying capacity.

After you get your first horse, be sure to talk to the stable master again. Once a day you’ll spend gold to feed your horse and it will increase Speed, Stamina, or Capacity depending on what you choose to feed it with. To increase the horse speed choose Apple, for higher Stamina choose Hay, and for carrying capacity choose Oats. Each time you feed your mount (20hr cool down), you gain 1 inventory slot, if you maximize carrying capacity. Horse will change appearance as you feed it as well. So, speed horse will look different from pack horses.
