How to Start and Play the Deadlands DLC in Elder Scrolls Online
Before you can start with the DLC, you need to first purchase it. You can go for the Standalone Expansion or ESO Plus.

Once you have purchased the DLC, there are two ways to start and play the Deadlands DLC in Elder Scrolls Online – via the Collections and Stories Tab – heading straight to Deadlands.
Start the DLC from Collections Tab

- Open the Player Menu and go to the Collections tab
- Click on Stories
- Click on Zone DLC and select “The Celestial Palanquin”
This is the proper way to play the DLC as the game details you about the backstory before actually beginning the story.
