There are three major bosses in the Earthen Root Enclave dungeon, separated by packs of enemies. You can also challenge three secret bosses to receive permanent character buffs in the dungeon.

Here are the notable enemies that you will encounter between the bosses:

  • Stone Atronachs
  • Lurchers
  • Monstrous Bears

The Stone Atronachs and the Lurchers should be focused on as they deal unavoidable AOE damage. The Monstrous Bears appear later on in the dungeon and send AOE waves. Side-step them to avoid lethal damage. Utilizing add-ons can help track the different abilities.

Here are the main bosses of the Earthen Root Enclave dungeon in The Elder Scrolls Online:

  • Corruption of Stone
  • Corruption of Root
  • Archdruid Devyric

Corruption of Stone is the first boss of the dungeon. Throughout the fight, the boss will constantly use AOE abilities on you. React quickly to avoid the brunt of the damage. At certain health intervals, it will transform into a boulder and float in the air. Hide behind the pillars at the edge of the arena to avoid lethal damage.

Corruption of Root is an easy second boss with simple mechanics that can be overwhelming due to the visual clutter. Similar to the prior boss, there are numerous AOEs in the fight. Besides them, the boss also summons enemies like Fauns and Root Nodes. Focus on them immediately to make the fight less arduous.

Periodically, the boss will split into four shades, called Distributors. Kill them to be able to damage the boss again.

Archdruid Devyric is the hardest boss in the dungeon. After starting the fight, stay away from the rock pillars at the edges of the arena, as they will momentarily explode. The boss will summon Lightning Pillars throughout the fight. Kill them immediately to avoid incoming damage.

Archdruid Devyric will sometimes summon fire wolves that will jump on you and explode. Watch out for them and dodge roll immediately to survive. He will also transform into a bear and heal himself for 20% of his health. This is unavoidable, and you must defeat him before he loops back into that phase.

Defeating the boss will complete the dungeon quest and mark the end of one of the hardest dungeons in The Elder Scrolls Online.
