The Towers of Eyes

The Towers of Eyes are located in a large, open courtyard. Many Soul Shriven and their dremora captors linger here. Clannfear can be found gnawing on corpses here and there. The Coldharbour Sentinels are located on top of two towers, accessible by ramps.

The Undercroft[edit]

The Undercroft

The Undercroft is a system of tunnels that leads into the Prophet's Cell. It is filled with azure plasm and dotted with steam vents and cold fire traps. The area is inhabited by many skeletons and several feral soul shriven.

The Prophet's Cell
The Prophet's Cell (pre-patch)

This is where the Prophet is being held prisoner. When you activate the pinions to free the Prophet, two Dremora Baunekyn appear.

The Anchor Mooring[edit]

The Anchor Mooring
Your first skyshard

This large chamber is connected to a Dark Anchor which the Prophet seeks to use to help you escape from the prison. The Child of Bones is summoned here. Prior to Update 6, you would fight the Anchor Guardian rather than the Child of Bones.

Notes[edit]

  • The Wailing Prison counts as a dungeon, meaning that dungeon-based achievements such as Dungeon Damage Dealer can be earned here.
