Our 10-Year Anniversary spotlights continue with the Portals of Oblivion, challenging you to invade Mehrunes Dagon’s realm of destruction.

Even better, unlock the Oblivion Obliterator achievement by defeating all the bosses found within Oblivion Portals and you can also claim the new Firebelly Shalk pet from the Crown Store as a bonus reward.
