Heroic Encounters are a feature introduced in Module 3: Curse of Icewind Dale. The zone map shows where current Heroic Encounters can be found. Some Heroic Encounters only appear in the PvP areas.

Heroic Encounters come in three difficulty classes, designed for 2 to 3 characters (minor), 3 to 5 characters (major), or 6 to 10 characters (epic), respectively. However, this number of characters is not mandatory; the encounters can be completed with fewer or more characters.

Partying is not required to complete the encounters, solo characters can jump in and participate.

The following zones contain multiple heroic encounters:
