The Elder Scrolls Online gets two dungeons in a new DLC

The Elder Scrolls Online players are currently immersed in the yearlong adventure Gates of Oblivion. This adventure pits you against the evil machinations of the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon. The schemes of the mighty evil lord are unfathomable, but their consequences have a profound impact on the world of Tamriel, and you are in the center of them. Waking Flame is a new DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online that gives you access to two new dungeons: the Red Petal Bastion and the Dread Cellar. Both locations challenge you with new enemies and expand the current Gates of Oblivion storyline after the launch of Blackwood, and will set the scene for the release of the Dreadlands DLC, which will arrive later this year.

The Red Petal Bastion

For centuries, the noble Knights of the Silver Rose had protected the people from Tamriel from the forces of Oblivion, but recently, the order has begun indiscriminately looting nearby shrines to collect holy relics, which they add to their fortress, the Red Petal Bastion. A devotee of Azura needs your help to confront this once-noble order, reclaim his stolen artifacts, and discover the secret behind the order’s sudden and violent turn.

The Dread Cellar

Whispered to be one of the Empire’s most-feared prisons, the Dread Cellar, long thought abandoned, has begun emanating mysterious magical energies. Now home to the cultists of the Waking Flame and their Daedric minions, this once-feared site holds new evils for any would-be adventurers. A pair of Imperial Battlemages needs your assistance in their investigation of the prison’s activity, but what role does the Dread Cellar’s own past have in the cultists’ fiendish plans? And to what lengths might the Battlespire go to protect the Empire’s secrets?

A free patch has accompanied the launch of the Waking Flame DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online. Update 31 enhances graphics with Dynamic Resolution Scaling and a new HDR mode on consoles, and Multithreaded Rendering on PC, which basically will provide higher resolutions and improve framerates. Of course, the update also includes many fixes and new collectibles, outfit styles, furnishing, and more. You can read the whole patch notes here if you want more specific details on all the changes.
