Hel Ra Citadel

Craglorn · base game

An old Yokudan fortress in southwestern Craglorn, now held by the Warrior and his Anka-Ra legions after the Serpent turned him. Its hard mode is opted into inside the trial by destroying the statues in the room before the Warrior's chamber.

Bosses3

  • A huge air atronach at the first gate of Hel Ra Citadel, summoned once the Anka-Ra waves there are cleared and arriving with a Destroyer and two War-Priests.

  • After the first boss the group splits in two, and each half takes one of these Anka-Ra commanders. Both have to fall for the trial to continue.

  • One of the three guardian signs that shield Tamriel from the Celestial Serpent, turned against it before the events of Craglorn. He commands the Anka-Ra holding Hel Ra Citadel.
