It’s that time of the year again where Skyrim is feeling fresh and I’m eager to play.
I’m sitting at home, thinking to myself where to begin my new adventure.
I make myself some coffee and turn on my computer. “What should my main goal be now?”.
As I struggled to come up with an answer, I realized that I’ve played Skyrim so many times that there doesn’t seem like there’s anything else I can do.
Just when I was about to start as an Argonian assassin again, it hit me – new dungeons.
What’s better to keep my game fresh than installing a bunch of dungeon mods to fill my save with new adventures?
The amazing Skyrim modding community was sure not to disappoint. So I’ve made a collection of the absolute best dungeon mods that I’ve found and enjoyed.
I’m sure you’ll love them too – especially if you’re looking for a revamp of your Skyrim adventuring experience.
This mod will take you on a trippy and diabolical quest through one of the scariest dungeon mods that will be listed here.
I found this creepy quest to be quite interesting, as it provided me with a challenge that you wouldn’t expect to find in Skyrim. Yet it didn’t feel out of place thanks to the Daedric feel that it has.
You will be taken through a dungeon that MUST be completed, as once you’re deep enough inside there will be no way back.
Explore a surreal realm of nightmares and hallucinations that will surely make you think twice before getting into Daedirc culture.
This cool dungeon mod comes with a lot of lore, as the dungeon is basically an old temple that was used by ancient Nords to worship a legendary dragon. Who went by the odd name of Kruziik.
Explore the temple and find pieces of ancient lore hidden on it.
Take on this quest and face a dungeon where a legendary dark creature lies waiting.
This fantastic dungeon comes with a complete questline and one of the best creature designs that the modding community has brought us in so many years.
Alright, this is a pretty popular mod in the Nexus.
But I’m not going to rate it as highly as others.
Don’t get me wrong it’s a cool mod, but there are others that are better.
Now that said, Skyrim Sewers 4 adds new sewers to some of Skyrim’s most popular cities so you’ll be able to explore new areas and not-so-dangerous dungeons that will enrich your adventures. Totally worth it but not quite the best on here.
Visit Dragonhead and loot the body of a dead Imperial to find a small book, which contain context on the dungeon and activates the quest as soon as you read it.
The Secret of Dragonhead grants you with the chance to visit a new dungeon and to undergo a very difficult quest that even the most leveled player will have trouble completing.
It’s a pretty challenging dungeon mod. But there was a lot of effort put into it.
The creator of the mod has placed a lot of fantastic loot inside the dungeon too, so your time of adventure won’t go unrewarded.
Its mainly a quest mod, but it doesn’t only add a single dungeon.
I mean, it’s one of the biggest mods on this list by a landslide.
It adds a completely new city to the game and as you might be able to guess, it’s fully populated.
There are well over 100 NPCs to be found and interacted within the many buildings that this city has to offer.
You will be presented with a completely new main quest to finish.
Like I said, it’s pretty massive. So you might want to have a bit of time on your hands if you wish to undergo the challenge of Heimfeigr (which, by the way, means “Home of the Dead”).
The Temple of Black Rock is one of the dungeon mods that better fits the vanilla concept of Skyrim.
Playing it truly makes you feel like the mod was created by Bethesda. But in reality, it’s one of the toughest challenges made by modders in Skyrim.
You will most definitely struggle completing it.
The undead plague this abandoned temple and make you wonder whether you’re going to come out alive or not. It’s a challenging experience, but a fun one nonetheless!
The Rabbit Hole is a vertical dungeon comprised of a total 50 levels, with each of them having a stronger enemy than the upper one.
As you descend you’ll be facing more and more powerful foes, who only grow more difficult the more you encounter.
It’s a fantastic mod that turns an average part of Skyrim into a vertical arena where rewards await for those who manage to beat all of the foes that the dungeon has.
The only thing that I didn’t dig too much about this mod was the name of the dungeons.
But when it comes to quality and variety, I think no other comes close to what Forgotten Dungeons has to offer.
This mod adds a grand total of 49 new dungeons to the game, spread in all of the regions that come in Skyrim as well as its DLCs.
The maker of the mod even added countless other optional dungeons that you can add, should you wish to further enhance the length of this fantastic mod.
Face a fantastic quest in a new dungeon that will take you in a journey to uncover the secrets of a hidden spaceship made with ancient technology, which is capable of taking you to outer space.
Combine magic and science and you get this mod – a truly enriching experience that is far more different than anything you could expect to find in Skyrim.
If you’re a fan of space and you love Skyrim this mod is a must-have.
It’s a fantastic adventure topped with space travel in a game where we all thought it was never going to be possible.
Make your dreams come true and get your hands on this amazing dungeon-adventure mod. Maybe even mix in some Star Wars mods if you’re so inclined.
Alright, I do have to admit that my favorite Elder Scrolls game was Oblivion.
But this mod still deserves one of the top spots on my list – it’s not only me being a huge fanboy (only partially).
Be warned though – it’s very difficult to get past the countless hoards of Dremora that await inside the portal of Oblivion that opens right outside Solitude when you install this mod.
The creator warns us that we should play this on a level 35 character or above, and there’s a good reason for it.
Lower level characters are sure to get slaughtered. If you’re not a pansy set the difficulty to the max and watch you die hopelessly countless times while you grasp and understand this dungeon to the fullest.
Dwemer fans, gather up and download this piece of beauty.
The Lost Wonders of Mzark adds a fully Dwemer-themed adventure to your game, which comes with 4 new quests as well as a fantastic dungeon that is fully open for you to explore from the get-go.
It’s said that this new dungeon was an ancient ruin that was recently discovered – according to the legends, at least.
You’ll be able to get your hands on new equipment and travel the unknown abandoned halls of this marvelous place – all while facing challenging foes along the way.
I first found out about this mod while browsing Reddit as the r/Skyrim community seemed to absolutely love it when it first came out.
Needless to say it’s an amazing new adventure based around Molag Bal, and I’m more than sure that anyone that has an even slight interest in Skyrim is going to love it.
The makers of the mod have been so successful that they even made a standalone game on their own, which came out on Steam too!
