	"Yes, yes. This one has heard your besotted whispers about the mysterious Graven Deep. Samaril believes none of them. He has a shipment of Alik'r spice to deliver and a pack of cowardly sailors won't slow him down."—The final recorded words of Samaril, captain of the Azure Spirit.

Uncharted Island at Graven Deep

Graven Deep is a region located off the southwest coast of High Isle, accessed by ship from Amenos Station.

It is connected to a Dwarven observatory located on the seabed, containing a machine capable of manipulating the weather. Dragonflies, frogs, hermit crabs, monkeys and torchbugs are found in numbers within.

Tempest Observatory, offering views from the bottom of the seabed

It is included in the Lost Depths DLC alongside Earthen Root Enclave.

Backstory Description[edit]

Update 35 Patch Notes

Tamriel's sailors whisper warnings about Graven Deep, a strange region of the Abecean Sea where any ship that enters vanishes without a trace. Join former pirate Dhulef as he hunts for information on the legendary Druid King's voyage to the Systres and seeks to uncover an ancient secret buried far beneath the waves.

Lost Depths Preview—Graven Deep

All who sail the Abecean Sea know of the perils of Graven Deep, a mysterious region infamous for the disappearance of many a vessel. Unfortunately for you, your ship is this treacherous region's latest victim, and you and your party have washed up on a mysterious uncharted island at the center of it all. Thankfully, you are not alone, as the Mages Guild explorer Dhulef has also survived the shipwreck and has a mission for you.
Sail to (or shipwreck upon) an uncharted island, battle your way through an ancient Dwarven complex, and solve the mystery of Graven Deep—what you discover beneath the waves may have consequences for the Legacy of the Bretons adventure to come. Is your team ready to help Dhulef delve into this underwater facility?

Layout[edit]

Uncharted Island[edit]

This is the first part of the dungeon. It takes shape of an island under a clear sky and surrounded by shipwrecks. Hadolids, Pangrits and various common passive creatures live here. You can access a dwarven trapdoor on a side walk in the center of the island to access the Security Depot where the first optional boss Mzugru, Security Drone is located. Otherwise you can find the first boss of the dungeon, The Euphotic Gatekeeper, at the northeast. Upon defeating it, you can use a Dwarven Hatch to enter the Dwarven Station.

Security Depot[edit]

This is a simple rectangle room with four puzzle cubes and "Mzugru, Security Drone" stands in a protective barrier between them. Upon completing the puzzle, Mzugru awakens and can be defeated to get the Shield Generator buff for your group.

Dwarven Station[edit]

This area is accessed via a Dwarven Hatch after defeating The Euphotic Gatekeeper. It is a dwarven complex built underwater deteriorated by the ages. You will stop encountering living enemies there, instead undead and ghosts will be your foes. The second optional boss Xzyviian, Defense Crawler is located after a corridor full of lasers in the southeast and can be defeated to get the Defense Systems buff for your group. Otherwise, following Dhulef will lead you to a large room with a large bone colossus at its center: Varzunon, which is the second boss of the dungeon. Upon defeating it, you can use a large door to get to the Transcender Chamber.

Transcender Chamber[edit]

This is accessed after defeating Varzunon. You arrive in a large room with an elevator in the center, but when you pull its lever, it completely breaks and you fall all the way to the bottom. Fortunately you land in deep water. Swim to the edges to get to the door leading to the Tempest Observatory.

Tempest Observatory[edit]

That is the last part of the dungeon and it is a dwarven stucture located very deep under the sea. It is partly deteriorated like the rest of the dungeon but now there are glass panels which shows us we are at the sea floor. Undead and ghosts are plentiful there except the slightly hidden south part where the third optional boss Chralzak, Sphere 9402-A is located and can be defeated to get the Remote Battery buff for your group after resolving a puzzle similar to the Treacherous Crossing in the Infinite Archive. Continuing with Dhulef, you will arrive at a dead-end but he will propose you a way to walk outside the complex without worrying about drowning. He summons a Divining Portal which will teleport you to the other side of the glass panel in a bubble of air. You will then have to walk to the other divining portal leading you to the closed room where Zelvraak the Unbreathing resides. On your way you will spot Coral Crabs and Mudcrabs and you will be able to harvest Giant Clams and open Treasure Chests. Upon arriving in Zelvraak's room, the challenge banner will be to your left and the Logbook of Druid Anwas and a skeleton will be to your right.
