Guide:

Ashen Scar is the only cemetery in Elsweyr that’s also a place of interest. You’ll find it at the northern part of the center of the map, north from the Orcrest public dungeon, west from Scar’s Edge and northeast from The Bone Pit group bosses, south from the Defense Force Outpost striking locale. The Wayshrine that seems like the best starting point is the Hakoshae one, near the the settlement in eastern Elsweyr.

Follow the road from Hakoshae Wayshrine to the west until it changes course. At one point, just north from Orcrest, you’ll notice a small crossroad with a tiny path leading west. North from this exact crossroad, there is a trail that takes you down to the lower parts of Ashen Scar. If you zoom in on the map in this location, you can spot a small divide in the mountain range. Find this trail, and you’ll also find Vasterie, the NPC that gives the POI-related quest on the way down the hole.

This specific trail has a long and large stone overpass. This is the ridgeline you are looking for. No matter if you are coming from the east, from Ashen Scar, or from its central part, you’ll notice this small gap in the mountain that makes the trail visible. To find the skyshard, go up the hill once you find the trail, and go over the stones that form the platform edges. The shard is on top of the overpass. If you pay attention you’ll notice it easily, as there are no trees or other elements that would fog a traveler’s view.

Rimmen Necropolis is a public dungeon found just southwest from the town of Rimmen. It is surrounded by the Rimmen Masterworks crafting site to the north, the Scar’s Edge group boss to the west, the Anequina Aqueduct fort to the east, and the Hakoshae settlement and its Wayshrine to the south. Follow the road south from Rimmen and get to the main road, then go toward the path that is not connected to the main road. This side path leads to the public dungeon.

“The Rimmen Necropolis, a sprawling subterranean burial site so old and extensive that no living Khajit has ever explored its full expanse. It dates back to at least the time of the Merrunz-worshiping Darloc Brae, and many of his soldiers were buried there.”

The altar we are headed toward is located in the northeastern part of the delve. There are two paths leading up to it, and both are filled with enemies, which is not weird as this is a public dungeon after all. No matter which path you take, you’ll end up in a room full of enemies. This altar room has a stone pillar at its center, with two animal statues next to it. The skyshard is in the northeastern part of this room, on what looks like a stone grave. Although this is a small room, the specific place is well hidden, and you might not spot it at first.

Guide:

The “ignoble abode” part refers to a dungeon found in the northern part of Elsweyr. It is located west from Riverhold, the northernmost settlement. It is north from the Star Haven Wayshrine, Prowl group boss and Starlight Adeptorium camp.

Just like the other delves, the entrance to the Abode of Ignominy is not exactly next to a road, but a bit further from it, toward the mountains. If you zoom in on the map of this area, you’ll spot a small lake. Head west from it, and you’ll get a notification about the delve’s presence. There is a small camp in front, with an NPC called Narama-ko next to it. She gives the delve-specific quest, while trying to dry off the wet clothes close to the fire pit.

“For the Khajiit, Mafal is the Clan Mother of the Dark Secrets, the recorder of hidden guild and eternal shame. This fallen temple was once the center of her worship, before the Sinner Suicided brought her cult into disfavor. Now it hosts… others.”

The mouth of the cave, where our final goal lies, is located in the delve’s largest room. To get there, head south from the entrance. After a long hallway, you’ll spot the skyshard on the other side, at the entrance to the cave. It is among the ruins, next to some blue foliage, a small tree, surrounded by enemies. They will be consistent in stopping you when trying to use the shard, so you’ll have to defeat them beforehand.

Guide:

The Prowl that this skyshard hint mentions is a striking locale in western Elsweyr. You’ll find it south from the Star Haven Wayshrine and the Starlight Adeptorium crafting site, west from the Ashen Scar graveyard, north from the Desert Wind Caverns delve. If you find yourself on the westernmost road, you’ll quickly get the map notification for this place.

The ruins are on the other side of the main road, opposite the Prowl map icon. Coming from the north, following the mountain range, this is where you’ll first spot the ruins. On this side of the road there are also two small ponds. You’ll find a couple of perpendicular stone walls north from the larger one, the one with the ruins at its center. There is a tall tree close to them, as an additional landscape marker that makes finding it easier. The skyshard is tucked away in the corner formed by the two ruined walls.

Guide:

As the hint clearly states, this one’s at the Stitches. The place has its own Wayshrine, so it won’t be too hard to reach. It’s in the middle of the map, west of the Orcrest public dungeon, south from the Nightmare Plateau boss, east of the Sleepy Senche Mine striking locale.

Approach the area from the east. You’ll see the big building with the pagodas from the distance. As you approach it, you’ll find a hanging bridge leading into the area. Instead of using it, look down and to the right. You’ll see the recognizable blue ray of light down in the gorge. It’s pointing to a broken crate, the one mentioned in the clue.

The crate probably fell from the heights of the Stitches, but the obvious question is why didn’t anybody go down to the gorge to get it? The skyshards are pretty valuable stuff, so you’d expect somebody to make the effort to collect the lost treasure. Instead it’s just sitting there, waiting for intrepid adventurers to make a go for it.

Guide:

Moon Gate of Anequina is a striking locale in the southwestern part of Elsweyr. It is west from Trial: Sunspire, east from the Scar’s End Wayshrine, Valenwood Border Artisan Camp, Valenwood Gate striking locale and a border gate to Grahtwood. If you find yourself on the southern main road of the map, you can get to this spot by going toward the only side road that goes north.

While writing the description for this particular spot, I was wondering how this location got its name. Luckily for me, I was here during the night. When approaching this area, there are long stairs before the closed gate. They take you up the small hill, and if you pan your view upwards just for a second, you can spot a giant moon. It seemed bigger now, and brighter, but that probably wasn’t the case.

As you approach the main gates, you’ll notice that they are locked. No cause for alarm – we don’t really need to go inside. Our goal is just a bit west, toward the rocks. Go back to the start of the stairs. Turn west and follow the rocky plateau on your right. Do not climb the small hill that comes shortly after, but continue straight, passing by a large tree. A couple of steps later, just as you turn right after a small boulder, you’ll be able to spot a tiny, hidden cave in the distance. For some reason, wolves in this area are fond of its glow, and would not give it up easily. Do not be sorry for defeating them, as they will miraculously rise from the ashes a short while after.

Guide:

Merryvale Farms are the only place of interest of this type in Elsweyr. It doesn’t mean that the region’s residents dislike working a field, just that this is the only famous one. There is one near the town of Rimmen, but that is another story. Merryvale Farms is in the southern part of Elsweyr, west from the Red Hands Run group boss, northeast from the entrance to Trial: Sunspire, west from Two Moons at Tenmar Temple and its Wayshrine.

All the places of interest on this southern road are either at or just next to the main path. This includes Merryvale Farms, which is in a valley filled with large ponds. A decent place to grow the needed cultures. Due to its grand beauty, it feels like this place has been here for a long time. The beautiful rooftops, magnificent bridge, and fenced fields make the workers enjoy their work.

If you approach Merryvale Farms from the east, you can spot an undocumented path that leads south, uphill towards the Fragrant Moons Plantation gate. This is the highest point of the Farm so it’s not hard to spot from afar. There is a large barn-looking building next to the road. As you get close to the Fragrant Moons Plantation gate, turn right and head west. There is a small gap and a path a bit further on to your left. Go through it and jump on the rocks. The skyshard is at the end of this rocky plateau. The buzzing hives mentioned in the title are just underneath it – there’s a way to reach it through there as well, but with more of a climbing challenge.

Guide:

This is one of the rare skyshards that doesn’t have a location’s name in the hint. It’s in the southeast of Elsweyr, west of the Tangle, south from Orcrest, northeast of Red Hands Run. In order to reach this location, you should teleport to the Tenmar Temple wayshrine, which is in the southeastern corner of the map.

From there, head directly northwest. As you reach the foot of the hill, you’ll end up at a farmstead. One of the houses at the farm has burned down, and it’s pretty easy to spot. As you approach it, you’ll see the characteristic blue glow next to it. It will lead you to the skyshard, which is behind the crates.

It’s pretty obvious what happened here. It is the season of dragons, after all. Not only that, but there’s one of them foul beasts a short distance to the south from this poor, unfortunate farm. He’s probably the one responsible for the arson.

Guide:

This hint is almost entirely unhelpful, as there are far too many dragons on the map, and they’re all called Dragon. You’ll find this particular dragon in the southwest of Elsweyr, southwest of the Stitches, southeast of Cicatrice, northwest of Merryvale Farms.

The best way to reach it would be to spawn at the Stitches wayshrine, then follow the road southwest until you reach Cicatrice. Once you get there, turn east and head into the hills. The shard is near the top of the hill, next to a couple of stone pillars. You might also spot a couple of Khajiit facing the skyshard, with their weapons raised like offerings.

Their names are Saziza and Tashdu. We didn’t get the chance to talk to them since we were in a hurry, but it looks like there’s a story there. Maybe some weird desert cult? Or a couple of brave warriors preparing to take on the nearby dragon?

Guide:

Orcrest is one of the two public dungeons in Elsweyr. It is really hard to miss, as it is positioned at the center of the map. South from the Ashen Scar graveyard, west from Hakoshae and its Wayshrine, east from The Stitches and its Wayshrine, in the close vicinity of many other places of interest. It’s not like you can miss this place, as it is absurdly huge, with tall walls, and a clear entrance route from the west.

“The once-thriving town of Orcrest may be the location in Northern Elsweyr that was hardest hit by the Knahaten Flu and the breakdown of society that followed. Abandoned and haunted by its own dead, Orcrest is now a place of dread for the nearby surviving Khajiit.”

This is one of the best hidden skyshards in Elsweyr. You really need to rely on the clues from the title, and to think a bit outside of the box. The first part of the sentence, “In the darkest depths”, is the key to everything. It points toward the fact that this one is found at some lower, underground part of Orcrest.

The entrance to the area where all the pipes converge is called the Sewer Access. As you find yourself at the gates of Orcrest, continue forward but keep to your right. Go to the left of the pathway with a broken-wheeled cart. You’ll pass by an orange cart on your right, and a green bush on your left. This is where you turn left, toward a part of a building wall that is a bit wider than the rest, with a vine coming down from the top. The wooden doors of the Sewer Access are here at the bottom.

Once in the area of the darkest Orcrest depths, continue forward toward the central part. If you look around, you’ll spot a lot of pipes converging at the center of the room. When you come close to the edge, you’ll spot the shard’s glow at the bottom of the hole.
