How to get the free Bog Dog pet

Published June 23, 2021 · Updated February 10, 2026

With the release of Blackwood in Elder Scrolls Online you can get a free non-combat pet by completing a short quest.

Read letter just West of Blackwood Crossroads Wayshrine which will start the Lost in the Wilds quest.
The letter will tell you three locations and three named enemies to kill.
Fjaldar the Vicious. Last seen in the hills around Leyawiin.
Vasha the Wicked. Last seen in the swamps near Gideon.
Binghim the Quick. Last seen in the bogs surrounding Stonewastes.
After killing all three return to read another letter and be directed to the deadlands.
Go to the deadlands and find the body with another letter.
After reading the letter your quest is complete and you can find your Bog Dog pet in your collections.

TIP: To get to the deadlands look on your guild roster for anyone already there and teleport to them.
