The Towers of EyesEdit

 
The Towers of Eyes

The Towers of Eyes are located in a large, open courtyard. Many Soul Shriven and their dremora captors linger here. Clannfear can be found gnawing on corpses here and there. The Coldharbour Sentinels are located on top of two towers, accessible by ramps. Following Update 44, only the closest (eastern) Sentinel is accessible, and the path up the tower on the far side of the bridge has been blocked by gates.

The UndercroftEdit

 
The Undercroft

The Undercroft is a system of tunnels that leads into the Prophet's Cell. It is filled with azure plasm and dotted with steam vents and cold fire traps. The area is inhabited by many skeletons and several feral soul shriven.

The Anchor Mooring
 
Your first skyshard

This large chamber is connected to a Dark Anchor which the Prophet seeks to use to help you escape from the prison. The Child of Bones is summoned here. Prior to Update 6, you would fight the Anchor Guardian rather than the Child of Bones.

NotesEdit

  • The Wailing Prison counts as a dungeon, meaning that dungeon-based achievements such as Dungeon Damage Dealer can be earned here.
