Hardest zone to navigate in the Covenant!?

The_Dark_Wayfarer

Whether it's getting stuck behind rocks, forced to run HALFWAY ACROSS THE MAP because a mountain is in your way, slightly knee-deep mount repellent waters, or location accessible through one pathway only, I'm sure a lot of you had issues navigating in Covenant territory. Which zone was the hardest to navigate for you?

I never had problems with any zone.

Never had much trouble.

Though it made me think of a funny thing that happened in Cyrodiil yesterday. I went after a good player that had 2 ppl from my alliance close on his tail. He got into a narrow but deep hole between some rocks and seemed to be able to outheal the others´ damage, so I jumped into the hole with him (ie on him) and took him out. Ofc then I couldn´t get out no matter how I jumped (must have looked ridiculous), so in the end I had to /stuck my way out.

I regularly manage to jump into schools of slaughterfish, off cliffs etc in Cyro. Maybe I should learn not to autorun while sorting my inventory.

Rivenspire

Too many rocks and useless mobs standing in the middle. At least the landscape was nice some times...

Rex-Umbra

Bangkorai

No major issues but Bankorai is cut in two requiring a long cave to get though or completing a quest.

Mrsinister2

Glenumbra

I'm pretty sure it's Glenumbra that when I do a crafting servey there I fall and get stuck in a hole every single time.

Stormhaven

Or porting to someone 😏

Rivenspire.

Glenumbra and Stormhaven are pretty straight forward, Alikr Desert and Bangkorai. But Rivenspire is not only confusing, it has several "levels" and the super annoying ruins that you have to navigate through to finish the last story quest of the zone.

Taleof2Cities

Bangkorai

Definitely Bangkorai with the landform separation at Bangkorai Garrison.

It halves the map in two with only a few places to get back and forth.

MagicalLija

Rivenspire

So many random mountains and stone walls

Bangkorai

I agree with those saying Bangkorai because of the separation in the map. That said, it's still not as big of a deal as Malabal Tor with all those cliffs. I absolutely loathe getting mat surveys in Malabal Tor.

Coldharbour is another one for me, at least until you can get a friend/guildmate to port you to the upper half of the map if you haven't done the storyline there yet. I remember having a survey up in the northwestern section of the map, trying to get across, and flinging myself off a chasm to get ported to the nearest wayshrine...except the game refused to be fooled and sent me back to Hollow City.

Bangkorai

The only issue I had was trying to figure out how to get passed the huge wall in the middle of the map. During my first playthrough I ended up just progressing the story which eventually gets you through the gate, but then I realized there's a small tunnel which lets you skip having to do the story to get through the gate.

Malabal Tor actually won the Dominion poll by a lot.

Bangkorai

I usually go into the southern portion from Craglorn. It's pretty easy to get to the Old Tower wayshrine from there.

TheBonesXXX

The "unusually" usual long loading screen in Cyrodiil

Ohtimbar

Bangkorai

They're all pleasant to navigate compared to the AD zones.

Veuth

I found Greenshade and Malabal Tor the hardest to navigate, too many mountains and rocks.

redspecter23

I never had problems with any zone.

They all pale in comparison to the mess that are AD zones. I can't think of a single DC zone as hard as even the simplest AD zone. It's as if they thought to themselves, can we put more mountains and cliffisides here? Also, can we cut one of our zones in 4 with a giant honking tree?

Draxys

Bangkorai

I can’t stand zones like this. So glad the morrowind event is over so I don’t have to step into that godforsaken pit for another few months.

Gythral

Bangkorai

DC is generally 'easy mode' even easier if you own a few of the right houses

AD is nav from hell in comparison...

Tatanko

Bangkorai

Definitely Bangkorai. Not just the High Rock / Hammerfell split, but also the distance between wayshrines. Reaper's March is similarly split, and yet oddly enough only shares the latter problem

So much this. Valenwood is my least favorite representation of any Tamrielic province in ESO, and I think it's almost entirely because of the terrain. Otherwise, it's actually quite pretty.

Nemesis7884

Bangkorai

the zones are still MUCH better than the ones in the dominion

bluebird

I never had problems with any zone.

No problems with any DC zone.

AD though... 'Wait... have I passed this tree before? Or was it a different tree. All these trees look the same. Is there anything other than trees around here? Hello? I'm going around in circles aren't I.'

Sylvermynx

I never had problems with any zone.

I really didn't have any trouble with any of them. Even getting to the lower part of Bangkorai.... I jumped down Nilata Falls a few times, then decided to use the tunnel and do the little quest some. Now I'm back to jumping newbies down the falls - it's faster....

Oh lordy. I never even thought of doing that. Duh, sometimes I'm too dumb for words.

Bangkorai

^ This one, but I don't think it is hard anymore after learning how to get to lower Bangkori while skyshard hunting on the new alts.


Grahtwood is a lovely nightmare.

WuffyCerulei

Bangkorai

There’s a trillion things in the way of each objective, and it just gets obnoxious.

FrancisCrawford

I don't think any whole DC zones are all that bad. But the area around Hoarfrost Downs in Rivenspire keeps confusing me. And Glenumbra has some "You can't get there from here" spots as bad as any in the EP or AD regions.

mocap

Bangkorai

you can jump over the wall to get a bit out of map, then jump to second (desert) part of Bangkorai. Did it few times.

I must have missed that one. Because I would have mashed that button hard enough to break my finger. lol

ListerJMC

I'm torn between Bangkorai and Rivenspire. Bangkorai has that annoying castle separation, but I also got very lost the first time I was asked to go to the Doomcrag.

Both a piece of cake compared to the Valenwood zones though.

Nestor

Bangkorai

There is a way to go between the desert and forested area of Bangkori using the Sunken Road.

Its not that I haven't been road blocked before ...I just enjoy exploring all zones. You never know what you'll find or run into when you're a little lost or side tracked due to terrain.
