Lucent Citadel - ESO

Lucent Citadel is a 12-player trial added to ESO with the Gold Road chapter in 2024. It is found within the West Weald zone. 

Not much is known about Lucent Citadel yet. The trial is set in a long-forgotten Daedric Vault, which is most likely related to the forgotten prince Ithelia in some way. 

Players can expect a challenging set of new boss and mob encounters with new mechanics. Completing the trial will offer players new item sets, as well as new achievements and collectible rewards. The trial can be played on Normal or Veteran difficulty, with an optional Veteran Hardmode available on the bosses.
