ESO March of Sacrifices Solo Dungeon Guide

Up to date for: Update 51 - 18th October 2026
Last changed: Update 51 - 18th October 2026

Solo March of Sacrifices is the one-player version of the Wolfhunter dungeon, added in Update 51. It has the same five bosses and three optional Golden Indrik hunts, and you pick the difficulty yourself with 0 to 3 Meted Misfortunes.

The entrance is in southwestern Greenshade, southwest of Serpent's Grotto Wayshrine, and you can also enter from the world map. It's free for everyone.

Meted Misfortunes

Misfortunes are optional modifiers. Each one you turn on makes the run harder and pays out more.

Right at the entrance there's a glowing pile of weapons and shields called Meted Misfortunes. Activate it and choose up to 3. You can't change them mid-run. To pick different ones, use the Reset Hourglass next to it and start over.

Misfortunes

Warm Welcome

Enemies deal double damage.

Your presence is welcomed with two-fold the generosity. Enemies deal double damage to inflict major wounds.

Weary Submission

Health, Stamina and Magicka Recovery reduced by 50%.

You forfeit part of your power, with only willpower left to drive you.

Pulled Punches

You deal 30% less damage from all sources.

Strength seeps away from your fingertips as you face your enemies.

Which Misfortunes to Pick First

  1. 1 Pulled Punches
  2. 2 Warm Welcome
  3. 3 Weary Submission

Pulled Punches is the easiest. On most builds Warm Welcome comes next and Weary Submission is the worst, unless you have some busted sustain ability like or you're playing a Heavy Attack or Werewolf build, in that case Weary Submission is straight up the easiest.

0 Story

Difficulty (according to me)

Pretty much Overland, trash mobs have even less Health than regular Overland mobs (24k).

Difficulty (according to ZOS)

Comparable to overland difficulty

Monsters deal the least damage, have low health pools, and have fewer abilities

Rewards

  • Small amount of Gold and Undaunted Crests
  • Very low chance of receiving a Monster Mask item set piece
1 Normal

Difficulty (according to me)

Comparable to Normal Solo Arenas.

Difficulty (according to ZOS)

Comparable to a Normal solo arena

Monsters deal threatening damage, have more health, can access more abilities, and appear in greater numbers

Rewards

  • Chance to receive a Monster Mask item set piece, Tarcyr Bust, Monster Mask style page, and Gold Companion Gear
  • Increased chances for all other rewards
2 Veteran

Difficulty (according to me)

More difficult than Veteran Solo Arenas.

Difficulty (according to ZOS)

Comparable to a Veteran solo arena

Monsters deal dangerous amounts of damage, have larger health pools, can use deadlier abilities, and appear in greater numbers

Rewards

  • Guaranteed Monster Mask item set piece and Tarcyr Bust
  • Moderate chance to receive all other rewards
3 Dauntless

Difficulty (according to me)

Difficulty is all over the place. In some places it's more difficult than soloing the Group version of the dungeon.

Difficulty (according to ZOS)

Harder than other comparable solo content

Monsters deal deadly damage, have the largest health pools, and have all abilities and mechanics at their disposal while appearing in droves

Rewards

  • Guaranteed Monster Mask item set piece and Tarcyr Bust
  • Best chance to receive all other rewards

Enemy Armor

Solo Dungeons have an unusual amount of Armor on enemies. Trash mobs are just like other instanced enemies, they have 18,200 Armor, but most bosses have 27,300 and the final boss has 36,400.

Trash 18,200
Bosses 27,300
Balorgh 36,400

This means you can benefit from a ton of Penetration, and you can choose the Mundus even when using Light Armor. But don't overdo it, there comes a point where dropping other stats in favor of Penetration isn't worth the opportunity cost, so don't try to actually reach 36,400 Penetration.

Fight Overview

Wyress Sisters is a fight against 3 bosses. The sisters are supposed to buff each other with their auras, but in the Solo version they're extremely underwhelming except for the blue one, so they can be mostly ignored, and that one only starts appearing at 2 Misfortunes.

The only 2 abilities you have to look out for are Ursus's heavy attack - , which you have to block or dodge roll, and Strigidae's , which you have to interrupt or dodge roll, but you have 9 seconds for that. Rangifer does have an important mechanic too, , but failing it doesn't get you killed, it simply gives other sisters 75% damage reduction while she's channeling.

At 2 Misfortunes you should also look out for Strigidae's , which grants other sisters a 4% damage buff every 0.5 seconds which stacks up and can get out of hand pretty fast.

That's why you should kill Ursus first, then Strigidae, and then Rangifer.

Most Important

The fight is very easy if you just take your time to kill the archers (). They spawn on HP thresholds, so you'll have to deal with a lot of them if you just focus Dagrund. Their will stun you after 5 hits, and getting stunned right before his heavy attack or that triple wave is the most dangerous thing in this fight.

Stay on the move to kite the fire AoEs from the archers' and the icy AoEs from Dagrund's .

There are three side areas for the Golden Indrik Hunts, to start them you need to find a Wisp hidden somewhere in the surrounding area. It takes on the form of a mundane item, like a plant or a pile of dirt, it glows blue and emits a low, pulsing chime. After interacting with the Mysterious item, follow the Wisp to the hunting ground and crouch to use the synergy to start it.

During the hunt you have to stay crouched, if you're a Werewolf Prowl counts too, if you get hit, stop crouching, or let Prowl run out, you get teleported into the air and will take increasing fall damage, but if you were full health it won't kill you. Keep following the Wisp and use its synergy whenever it stops. After the third synergy the Golden Indrik will spawn, kill it before it finishes its channel and you get its boon.

Golden Indrik Locations

The Wisp for the first Golden Indrik Hunt is somewhere after Wyress Sisters, but before the waterfall you jump down. The second one is between Aghaedh and Dagrund. And the last one is between Tarcyr and Balorgh.

Rewards

QUEST

Finishing The Great Hunt gives 415 gold every time. It also gives the Solo March of Sacrifices Armaments box and 5 Transmute Crystals once a week. The box contains a dungeon set piece. Clearing it again the same week gives the Solo March of Sacrifices Overland Rewards box instead, which contains an overland set piece from Greenshade. Your first completion also gives a skill point.

GEAR

March of Sacrifices drops (Light), (Medium), (Heavy) and head piece (Any Weight).

Dungeon sets drop from any boss on any difficulty, the Monster Helm only drops from the final boss, and is only guaranteed at 2 Misfortunes and up. Boss drops are green at 0 Misfortunes, blue at 1, a mix of blue and purple at 2 and all purple at 3. The final boss drops weapons or jewelry, while every other boss drops only armor pieces.

The Wyress Sisters’ gear doesn’t drop from their corpses but from the chest right after them. Doing all 3 Golden Indrik Hunts also gives you a chest at the end called Hircine’s Spoils. It usually has a weapon or a piece of jewelry from these 3 sets.

Random chests in the dungeon don’t drop dungeon sets, and their gear stays green at any Misfortune count. Intermediate chests can also have an overland set piece from Greenshade.

Boss drops are curated, so if they can drop something you haven’t collected yet, they will.

All 3 dungeon sets are bad.

The Tarcyr shoulder piece does not drop and can only be obtained from boxes bought from Veya Thenim in the Undaunted Enclave.

Gameplay

FAQ

Solo March of Sacrifices drops Hanu's Compassion, Blood Moon, Haven of Ursus, and the Tarcyr Monster Set, plus Undaunted Crests, Wolf Totem Shards for Werewolf Form, Red, Bloodscent Dew, and the Tarcyr Trophy and Bust. See the Rewards section for the full list.

The entrance is in southwestern Greenshade, southwest of Serpent's Grotto Wayshrine. You can also enter the solo version from the world map. It's free for everyone.

Meted Misfortunes are optional debuffs that make the solo version harder and the rewards better. In March of Sacrifices they are Warm Welcome, Weary Submission and Pulled Punches. At 0 it's pretty much overland, 1 is like a normal solo arena, 2 is harder than a veteran solo arena, and 3 is harder than any other solo content.

Boon of Ferocity gives 275 Weapon and Spell Damage, or 375 in Werewolf form. Boon of Prowling removes the crouch movement penalty, makes crouch movement 50% faster, and removes its Stamina cost. Werewolves can also interact with Hunting Wisps and become immune to Indrik teleport magic. Boon of Hardiness gives 2500 Max HP and 5% damage reduction, or 4000 Max HP and 10% damage reduction in Werewolf form.
