Earn New Collectibles & More During the Undaunted Celebration
Who has no fear of beast or blade? UNDAUNTED! Earn bonus loot during the Undaunted Celebration, ESO’s PvE dungeon event!
Important note: We have made the decision to officially move the upcoming Undaunted Celebration event, and it will now begin December 3 at 10AM EST and run until December 15 at 10AM EST.
We Are Undaunted!
The Undaunted Celebration begins Thursday, December 3 at 10:00AM EST and runs until Tuesday, December 15 at 10:00AM EST. During this in-game event, you can earn bonus rewards and glory for completing any of Tamriel’s four-player dungeons.
To join the fight, use the Dungeon Finder tool or travel to any dungeon in Tamriel and complete it on Normal or Veteran difficulty—you choose!
Shiny New Collectibles
When you defeat a dungeon’s final boss during this event, in addition to its regular rewards it also drops an Undaunted Reward Box. These celebrated containers can hold all kinds of useful and valuable loot, including Undaunted Keys, Undaunted Plunder (to sell for gold), motif pages, repair kits, transmute crystals, and more. If you’re not sure that you’re ready to tackle dungeons (or perhaps don’t have the time), you can also earn one Undaunted Reward Box a day by completing Bolgrul’s daily Undaunted delve quest. You can find Bolgrul within any Undaunted Enclave.
During the event period, the first time you complete a dungeon each day, you’ll receive a fancier, Glorious Undaunted Reward Box. This daily drop will include the same rewards as its less-famous cousin, but it’s also guaranteed to contain an Opal Weapon Style page for the following boss styles:
Don’t forget to loot the final boss!
However, that’s not all you can earn during this event. If you complete one of the above dungeons on Veteran Hard Mode difficulty, you also have a chance (just a chance) to earn an Opal Monster Mask style page for their respective bosses.
Earn new Opal weapon styles
Finally, if you own the original, “non-shiny” version of the shoulders already, you can purchase the Opal Monster Shoulder style pages for 50 Undaunted Keys from their respective Undaunted vendors. If you’re feeling lucky, they also sell Mystery Coffers for 25 Undaunted Keys that can drop a random Opal Monster Shoulder style page, too.
Event Tickets & The Impresario
The first time you slay a final boss in a dungeon each day, you earn three Event Tickets (again don’t forget to loot your fallen foe). With these tickets, you can acquire the following event-specific collectibles and goods from the Impresario:
The Crimson Indrik is ESO’s final Indrik evolution, so don’t miss out on your chance to earn this majestic mount!
The striking Crimson Indrik
Triumph Together
Gather your fellow adventurers and take the plunge into any one of Tamriel’s dungeons and you’ll earn bonus rewards. Whether you’re a rookie dungeon delver looking to take your first steps into these challenging group activities or a veteran hunting some of the game’s hardest Achievements, the Undaunted Celebration brings no shortage of glory and rewards for Tamriel’s adventurers. What dungeon are you going to run during this new event? Let us know via Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.
The Undaunted Celebration begins Thursday, December 3 at 10:00AM EST and runs until Tuesday, December 15 at 10:00AM EST. Part of our #TamrielTogether celebration, the Undaunted Celebration is the next event in a series of end-of-year events coming to The Elder Scrolls Online.
