Three new Mythic-level items are being introduced with the Deadlands DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online: The Markyn Ring of Majesty, the Spaulder of Ruin, and Belharza’s Band. Belharza’s Band is one of the more complicated Mythics to come out in the Elder Scrolls Online Blackwood expansion, though its effect is essentially damage and control-oriented.

Belharza’s Band increases the damage of Light attacks significantly, gives a stacking effect, and allows players to stun enemies when at max stacks. By all appearances, it looks like a great Mythic, though its reliance on Light attacks (even with the buffed damage) could leave some players wanting.

Belharza’s Band Effects

Belharza’s Band, like most Mythic items, is a one-item set and cannot be equipped at the same time as any other Mythic-level item. When equipped, Light attacks are given an extra 900 damage. When hitting enemies consecutively with Light attacks, the player gains a stack of Belharza’s Temper to a maximum of five.

When the player reaches five stacks of Belharza’s Temper (by making five Light attacks in a row) Belharza’s Band will consume all stacks, dealing 1471 Physical Damage in a straight line from the player, and will stun enemies for three seconds as well. It sounds complicated, but ultimately it’s a Mythic that puts a huge emphasis on normal attacks over abilities and can stun enemies when a player uses enough Light attacks in a row.

How To Get Belharza’s Band

All three of the new Mythic items in the Deadlands DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online are found in the Antiquities and Scrying system first introduced back in the Greymoor expansion. Because of the high quality of these Mythic items, they are only available to Master-level Scryers.

By following five Leads found throughout the Deadlands and uncovering these five Fragments of the Mythic players are able to combine them into Belharza’s Band. Be patient when Scrying these Antiquities, as Scrying can take several attempts before narrowing down on a select few excavation sites, cutting down significantly on time spent wandering from excavation to excavation.

Associated Leads

There are five associated Leads with Belharza’s Band. These Leads can be found throughout the Deadlands and Fargrave, though the specifics of their locations are still being discovered as the DLC rolls out.

If previous years are anything to go by, these Leads will likely be found in Deadlands Dungeons, Delves, the Overland, and on Boss enemies (like World Bosses or the new Wandering Executioners) throughout the zone. Keep an eye out for these five Leads, make sure your Scrying skill is up to par, and get a head start on putting together this Mythic ring.
