A landing of noble’s blood.
Head upstairs to the second floor in the Vulkhel Guard Manor & Treasury, and you will spot it on the balcony. This is the first Skyshard that you can acquire when you start your journey throughout Auridon.
Note:In order to enter Vulkhel Guard Manor & Treasury you need to be on a quest A Hostile Situation. This quest comes after the quest Ensuring Security. They are both part of Vulkhel Guard Objective.
Adorns Valano’s terrace.
Enter the Valano Manor, head to the second floor, open one of the Silsailen doors and claim your prize. Although, the house is surrounded by big trees, you can easily spot it on the balcony.
Note: In order to be able to enter Valano Manor you need to be on a quest Teldur’s End.
Offered to appease riled ancestors.
At the corner of a small, white-rock plateau, where the large stone pillars can be found. This platform is on the upper level, and you should approach it from the east, rather than from the west. It’s in the area where you can talk with Priestess Aranwen, quest objective NPC of a quest “In the Name of the Queen”.
Watching the sky in a tower of swords.
Between cursed ruin and shrine.
Skyshard can be found on the ground, between a stone wall and large rock. It’s a well hidden location, especially during the day, because of the stone wall and trees around the area. Nearby Quendeluun Wayshrine is to the west.
Near Merormo’s refreshment.
On the ground, next to the stone house and a well. This is one of the skyshards that you can hardly miss if you are completing quests in this area. Nearby house is called Merormo’s Tower, and inside the house you will find NPC Merormo, who is a part of the last objective in the mission “Silent Village”.
Contemplation’s overlook.
You can’t see the Skyshard from the center of the Isle of Contemplation, because it’s on the upper level. In order to reach it, you can jump from the Northern Torinaan plateau, or start climbing toward it, from a southern road. The road is to the west from the skyshard location marked on our map.
Up and west in the broken dawn.
Skyshard is hidden on the top of a ruined, stone stairs inside wrecked house in Dawnbreak area. The stairs do not lead to the second floor, but to the Skyshard. There is a quest NPC Captain Landare in the same house. She is a part of the quest “Through the Ashes”.
Gleaming beacon, ship-guide.
Go up the stairs until you reach the last floor of North Beacon Lighthouse. Path that leads to Lighthouse starts in southern part of North Beacon compound. Use stone stairs to climb up. Follow the path until you reach the platform where neutral NPCs fight hostile bandits. Pass them by, and continue over a wooden bridge. After a while, you will spot the North Beacon Lighthouse in the distance. When you enter the house, open the door towards the Lighthouse Overlook. “Gleaming beacon, ship-guide” is right there.
Ancient chamber of golden glow.
Like the other Auridon dungeons, this one has experienced changes as well, which also goes for the location of the shard hidden inside its cave. The shard is now located in the most southeastern part of the dungeon, inside the room with the large pool of water. You can also find four Snake statues inside this room – a perfect place for serpent worship.
The Heritance stakes this claim.
Due to a post-launch change, the shard is now located in the northwestern part of the dungeon. Within this small tunnel there is little enemy resistance, but you have to pass by several groups on your way from the dungeon entrance to this area. If you want Del’s Claim Explorer achievement unlocked, you have to kill Polinus. He is located in the center of the water pool in the northeastern part of the dungeon.
Near the folly’s end.
Entila’s Folly has experienced a makeover since its launch day. There is something fascinating about the trees and spiders found inside the cave (coming down from the ceilings like Spiderman).
The dungeon shard is located in the southeastern part of the cave. This is the largest room in it. I’ve almost felt bad for taking this shard, as it feels like it gives life to nearby plants.
Held in a corner by the House of Troubles.
As you enter the dungeon, turn right and follow this path. The farthest northeastern part of the cave is where you should find the shard. Continuing along this path you should also find the dungeon boss, Mati, located in the largest cave room. However, if you follow the path to your left when you enter the dungeon, you’ll get in contact with the boss first, then the shard.
Blood-drained thralls stumble past.
This is another shard that has had its location changed. It is still inside the southeastern part of the dungeon, but in a different surrounding. This time, it is located in a room full of Giant Bats, in front of a large stone statue. These Giant Bats hang from the ceiling and it might be difficult to spot them at first. If you rush into the room without noticing them, they will attack you.
Corpses from another age walk here.
The shard is well hidden inside the dungeon. It is located within a flooded cave tunnel that connects two of the largest rooms. Inside this tunnel you should notice a small, hidden room, just beside the large metal door. The shard is inside this room.
Hidden home in the gully’s wall.
“Hidden home in the gully’s wall” is waiting for you in the eastern part of a large central Toothmaul Gully cave room.
The fourth is in the fighter guild in Skywatch, upstairs.
15 – “Wansalen” dungeon, in Quendeluun
10 – “Bewan” dungeon, south-west from Dawnbreak
where is 4th shard?
2. where i find key to manor? door are closed!
Yo must kill some guards, they drop the key.
We updated the guide with more shard locations. We had them all found, but forgot to upload them all. Thank you for giving us the hints and reminding us.
Can you like move the markers so it’s more logically correct? On the main map the locations of most of them are totally incorrect.
What exactly do you mean – more logically correct? They are numbered according to the in-game journal skyshard tips. Locations are correct 100% – we mark either the entrance to solo dungeons where the skyshard is located or the exact spot on the outside. If you could please give us more info we could make adjustments
Number 9, beacon tower, has been removed? I’m there in the beacon overlook but there’s no skyshard just the fire pit.
I had the same issue. I went up there and logged out and back in, then it was there.
Thanks for the tip! Went back, skyshard wasn’t there, relogged and voilà! there it was.
I just checked and it is there. The first two screenshots show you the beginning of the path to the overlook tower. Follow the path across a few wooden bridges and constantly going upwards. You will reach the North Beacon Lighthouse. Enter it than enter another door that take you up to the overlook and the skyshard is there.
This website is fantastic. The maps are so helpful. Thanks to the team for making all these great guides!
#12 Skyshard at Ondil There is a quest called LONG LOST LORE given out by Valaste, Mage’s Guild, in Vulkhel Guard.
You have us running all over the place, it’d make more sense to start from one end and go to the other.
Skyshards are displayed in the order they are displayed in the game’s skyshard interface. The idea is that people will pick up some of the skyshards and then look at the game’s skyshard interface to see which one’s they are missing.
On number 15, the skyhgard was moved to different spot in Wansalen. It is at the end if the water path.
