Learn more about the additions coming to Infinite Archive as part of Update 43 with these developer insights.
Update 43 is on its way with a host of quality of life improvements and base-game refinements free to all ESO players, including substantial updates to the Infinite Archive. This update officially arrives August 19 for PC/Mac and September 4 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles, but you can try out these changes on the Public Test Server right now.
Refreshing the Infinite
“The goal with Infinite Archive is to give players a changing experience they can jump into and always find new challenges and ways to play,” says Mike Finnigan, ESO’s Encounters Lead. “It was built from the ground up to be able to be augmented, changed, and added to.”
“Infinite Archive is all about variety of experience, and [with Update 43] we wanted to pump up the volume on that variety,” explains Shane Slama, the Dungeon Team Product Owner. “We added new methods of dispatching maligraphies (the arena’s various foes), new maligraphies from all over Tamriel to test your skills, and all-new environments that have their own challenges.”
With these goals and features in mind, the team worked hard to create new experiences in the Infinite Archive with the free Update 43 base-game patch.
“The biggest change is the two new arena types you will see,” says Finnigan. “While we maintain the Apocryphal feel of the original, adding new fire and ice elements really gives them a unique feeling.” Survive all-new arenas
“One of the requested features since the launch of Infinite Archive was to diversify the look of the different combat settings,” says Shane Slama. “The fiery reds and icy blues stand out from the Apocrypha greens, while also still having the elements that define the appearance of the Infinite Archive.”
New Challenges, New Tricks
To survive this augmented Infinite Archive, you (and your teammate or companion) will need to discover and utilize new strategies and power.
“How players tackle the ice and fire stages will be intriguing, because both arenas play so differently,” says Finnigan. “You might want to move more in the fire arena, while in the ice one, its best to find the safe spots while you fight.”
You’ll certainly have to watch your feet while battling within the two new arenas, but to help survive these new challenges, this update also includes a whopping eight new Verses and 10 new Visions.
“You’ll see new options when selecting your Verses and Visions which may expand on your particular build and impact the way you approach the upcoming stage,” explains Slama. “For example, depending on your selections, you can block attacks to unleash a devastating explosion with your next Bash via the Reflected Ruin Verse.” Find new strategies and power
“One of my favorites is the Phalanx Verse, which summons a line of soldiers to block attacks, giving you a damage shield if you stand behind them while they attempt to stagger foes,” says Finnigan.
“I also enjoy the Storm Projection Offensive Vision,” says Slama. “It’s unique in that it provides a passive increase to all your Shock damage, but it also functions like a Verse by adding chain lightning to any of your direct attacks.”
Claim the Archive’s Relics
New challenges mean new rewards for those venturing into the Infinite Archive, and this update introduces additional collectibles and, most importantly, seven new Class Sets that can be found only in this specific location.
“Our goal for the new Class Sets were to better represent the aesthetic themes and mechanical gameplay of each skill line while keeping the sets simpler than their previous counterparts,” explains Nadav Pechthold, one of the team’s Combat Designers.
“For example, we wanted the Dragonknight wearing Pyrebrand to be a representation of the Ardent Flame skill line, making use of damage over time abilities to build up to a huge payoff. You can become the flame and then the explosive force that comes after.” Of course, the additional Class Sets aren’t the only new rewards on offer, and those who delve deep into the Infinite Archive will discover all kinds of goodies up for grabs.
“With this update, we have cooked up some new consumable rewards for players,” says Finnigan. “Including a new consumable that allows you to transform into a random avatar without the need for the requisite Visions.”
“I really like the new Eye of the Infinite account upgrade Tool, which summons up a shard of Tho’at that hovers up into the air and bursts apart,” says Slama. “It’s a cool effect that may be used anywhere just like a Memento, but if you use it while inside Infinite Archive, a maligraphic Watcher emerges from the burst and joins your group to help bust up Tho’at’s forces.”
Challenge the Infinite Archive Anew
The Infinite Archive grows even more vast and dangerous with Update 43. Are you ready to return to the halls of Hermaeus Mora for new arenas, new foes, and most importantly, new rewards? Let us know via X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook.
Update 43 is a free base-game patch for all ESO players and arrives August 19 for PC/Mac and September 4 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

Defeat Your Rivals & Earn Bonus Rewards During the Whitestrake’s Mayhem Event!
Go toe-to-toe with your fellow players across Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds all while collecting exciting in-game rewards during the Whitestrake’s Mayhem PvP event!
Mayhem Is On the Rise
The Whitestrake’s Mayhem event makes its grand return to Tamriel next Thursday, July 25 at 10AM EDT, and runs until August 6 at 10AM EDT. Throughout the event, you will benefit from a 100% bonus to Alliance Point, XP, and Tel Var Stone gain. In addition, you can earn unique goodies by participating in ESO’s PvP game modes.
Ready to clash against other adventurers on the battlefield? Simply follow the steps below:
Head over to the in-game Crown Store and receive the “Details on the Whitestrake’s Mayhem" quest
Travel to your Alliance War faction's main gate in Cyrodiil using the Alliance War menu or a Battlegrounds camp outside major cities
You do not need to travel to Cyrodiil to start the event
Locate the NPC named “Predicant Maera" and continue the quest
Note that if you’ve previously completed the quest, you won't need to do it again
Complete the quest to receive a complimentary Pelinal’s Boon Box
One key difference from previous years’ events is that you no longer need to obtain or use the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity to benefit from the 100% buff to Alliance Point, XP, and Tel Var Stone gains. These bonuses are now shared passively to adventurers skirmishing throughout Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds. As a result, there is no longer a method to pick up the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity anywhere in-game, and those who already own the item will now notice it no longer offers any functionality.
Battle for Bonus Rewards
While participating in the Whitestrake’s Mayhem in-game event, you can amass a collection of bonus in-game goodies for your heroic efforts.
NEW—Ayleid Lich Outfit Style Armor
Dominate both the living and the dead while donning the Ayleid Lich Armor, dropped in Pelinal’s Boon Boxes.
Pelinal’s Boon Boxes
You can earn Pelinal’s Boon Boxes as rewards from the following activities throughout the event:
Battlegrounds quests from Battlemaster Rivyn
Scouting, Battle, Warfront, and Conquest Missions
Elder Scroll capture and recapture quests
Town quests in Vlastarus, Bruma, Cropsford, Cheydinhal, and Chorrol
Imperial City daily quests
Whenever you open a Pelinal’s Boon Box, you have the chance to receive the following items:
Parcel of Tel Var Stones
Cyrodiil repair kit
Soul Gems
ONE of the following:
Alchemy Ingredients
Style item for your Alliance's armor style
Style item for Akaviri armor style
Daedric siege weapon
Whitestrake's Mayhem book furnishing
Forward Camp for your Alliance
Chapter of your Alliance's armor motif
There is a small chance that the full book may drop instead of a single chapter
Prismatic Runestone
Chapter for the Akaviri armor motif
There is a small chance that the full book may drop instead of a single chapter
Small chance to receive one or two fragments of the Alliance Breton Terrier pet
Small chance to receive a Transmute Geode
Very small chance to receive an unbound, tradeable Ayleid Lich Armor Style Page
A Dovah's Du'ul Style Page may drop instead if you’ve already earned the Ayleid Lich Armor Style Page
The Ayleid Lich Armor Style
Bonus Resources & The Golden
Are you a crafter? Keep a keen eye out as you travel from battle to battle as harvesting nodes in Cryodiil will yield additional resources throughout the event.
Additionally, the merchant Adhazabi “The Golden” Aba-daro will offer various CP160 jewelry from Cyrodiil item sets. Legendary necklaces will be available during the first weekend of Whitestrake’s Mayhem and legendary rings from the same sets will be offered during the second.
Throughout the celebration, The Golden will not offer Monster Masks and all purchases in her shop will require Alliance Points. Contrary to her title, she will not accept gold.
The Impresario & Event Tickets
During Whitestrake’s Mayhem, up to three Event Tickets can be earned each day by completing the following activities:
Two Event Tickets from the first Cyrodiil or Battlegrounds daily quest
This includes Bounty Board quests, a Town Daily, the Conquest Board quests, or the daily Battlegrounds quest
