I went back to the soul cairn today to get some more grand souls, but the fissures seem to have not respawned yet. I can't be totally sure if a month has passed since I was last there. I think it has, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know for certain whether or not the soul fissures respawn?



And while I'm at it, do Mammoths? The one Giant camp has been devoid of mammoths for a good long time now, and everything else in the area seems to be respawning fine. I wouldn't be bothering with the soul cairn at all right now if the bloody mammoths would come back, but I'm afraid to kill any more incase they don't respawn.

Some things like ore veins take over 30 days in game time to respawn. I'd assume all these other things would come back as well, it would just take quite a while playing for it to happen.

The re-spawn timers are 10 days and 30 days. 10 days for a place that is not marked "cleared", 30 for those you have cleared. However, there is no guarantee that the place will respawn on the 11th and 31rst days respectively. It's just that these places won't respawn before that time is up.

Some areas are not areas that you can clear and as such, may not respawn at all. Some will respawn.


Note, to clear an area, you have to kill the boss for that area. This may not be the same boss that a radiant quest puts there.

The soul fissures do not respawn.

Yes, but it takes a long time. Not sure what level you're at, but at 50, GSG (filled) are practically lying everywhere in Skyrim.
