In The Elder Scrolls Online, dungeons are four-player battle content with several bosses separated by a few enemy packs. Each has an associated questline with unique rewards like armor sets, skins, personalities, and more. They can be experienced in Normal and Veteran difficulties, and the latter can be further enhanced by enabling Hard mode for the final bosses in the dungeons.

The Normal mode dungeons can be attempted solo. It is the optimal way to experience the storyline and explorate without being rushed by other players in the party. The companions can be helpful in this endeavor. That said, let's take a look at Scrivener's Hall dungeon guide in The Elder Scrolls Online.

There are three bosses in the Scrivener's Hall dungeon in The Elder Scrolls Online, and each is separated by different packs of enemies. Here are the notable ones that you will encounter between the bosses:

  • Battlescribes
  • Magma Bears
  • Storm Atronach
  • Hollow Armor Sentinels
  • Hollow Armor Duelists
  • Havocrels
  • Dremora
  • Iron Atronachs
  • Spiders
  • Spiderkith
  • Websnare Spider
  • Flesh Atronach

Most enemy mechanics are easy to deal with besides a few area-of-effect (AOE) abilities that need to be avoided. Watch out for the Shield throws from the Hollow Armor Sentinels as they deal high damage and stun the player character.

Here are all the bosses in the Scrivener's Hall dungeon:

  • Ritemaster Naqri
  • Ozezan the Inferno
  • Valinna

Ritemaster Naqri is the first boss of the dungeon. At different health intervals, he will summon a floating book with a colored rune. This book will shoot a bolt towards one of the bookcases in the room. You will need to find and destroy the Hidden Codex inside the bookcase to avoid a chunk of incoming damage.

Ozezan the Inferno is the second boss with relatively simple mechanics. Periodically, it will burrow into the ground and emerge at a different location. Each time it burrows, it will leave a permanent pool of lava. Fight the boss at the edge of the arena and try to overlap the lava pools to avoid the arena from getting flooded.

Vilinna is the final boss and the most dangerous of the bunch. You will be marked with a meteor throughout the fight, which will leave a permanent fire AOE. Place them at the edge of the arena like the previous boss.

Vilinna is accompanied by a giant spider, which will periodically turn red and deal more damage. At the same time, the friendly NPC accompanying you will summon an ice AOE. Lure the spider into the AOE to freeze it and remove its buff.

In the final stage of the fight, you will need to destroy the exploding meteors that will land in the arena to avoid deadly damage. Once you have beaten the boss, it will mark the end of one of the hardest dungeons in The Elder Scrolls Online.
