Blue Road’s Trees Fall Just Down The Hill Skyshard

Guide:
Eastern central Cyrodiil, just north of Blue Road Keep.

Another collectible found inside Ayleid Ruins. This time its name is Belda Ruins. They have tall stone walls. Approach the ruins from south. This helps you skip killing several Belda mobs. They are scattered around Belda Ruins. Luckily for us, the skyshard is close to Belda’s edge, so there is a small amount of enemies defending it. Circular stone platform with the collectible is protected by a patrolling Belda and his pet companion. They are patrolling in a circle and they are easily avoidable.

Fractured By The Bloody Hand Skyshard

Guide:
Southeastern Cyrodiil, between Drakelowe Keep (to the east) and Castle Alessia (to the west).

Another collectible hidden inside a public dungeon – Cracked Wood Cave. Before you reach Cracked Wood Cave you will have to go through a camp full of enemies. It is surrounded with rocks and it has one rather large tree at its center. This is one of those public dungeons that requires a lot of killing in order to reach the shard. This means that you need to fight your way to the northwestern part of cave. The last group that protects the collectible is tough to defeat. Bring your potions and other helpful abilities in order to survive the fight or have some friends along for a ride. At the end of this small cave room there is a fishing hole so you can go for some cave fishing for fun.

Be careful with the group that defends the skyshard. They are extremely dangerous.

Fishing Hole and the skill point in one place!

Tooth of Jone or Jode.

Guide:
Southeastern Cyrodiil, northeast of Castle Bloodmayne, southeast of Castle Alessia.

Skyshard can be found on a boat, at the dock of Lunar Fang Docks POI. These docks are on a side of a river that connects central Cyrodiil and the southeastern lake. Do not try to swim in this river because the fish will eat you alive. Dying from fish is actually a good thing because you get an achievement “Slaughtered” when they defeat you. Upon reaching the docks you can notice many Lunar Fangs around it. These are hostile creatures that turns into Werewolfs as they detect danger. When they turn their health bar fills up. Just because of this it is pointless to burst damage them straight from the start. In order to reach the collectible you need to jump from the docks above on top of the boat.

Jumping into the river, in order to swim to the collectible, is not that smart … but it does yield an achievement.

Clear the docks, them jump into the boat.

Ruined spire peering north to the Tower.

Guide:
Southern central Cyrodiil, between Castle Roebeck (to the west) and Castle Alessia (to the east).

On top of the largest tower in Homestead Ruins. You’ll recoginze this tower due to its top being destroyed. There are Homestead creatures defending this area. There are many patrols that can make your life miserable if you do not pay enough attention (or are going on your own). Pressure of battle that may occur at any moment near this location may pose a problem. Despite all the pressure and dangers, rushing toward the shard is not a wise decision. Once you get to the collectible you will probably have the best view in Cyrodiil, since there is a way to climb even above where the shard is. Also, great for spotting enemies 😉

Take your time, don’t rush toward it.

The top of the tower awards you with an amazing view.

You can pull one of the group members with range abilities. Skyshard we are looking for is inside the northernmost cave room. It is on the top of a large wooden platform. Do not rush toward it, because many Black Daggers patrol this specific part of the cave. They can easily spot you even if you are out of their sight. If you are close enough, whether they can see you or not, they will still go after you. Take it easy, and clear them out before heading to the level of the platform where the skyshard is hidden. The last Black Dagger stands next to the skyshard, but you can easily defeat him.

Collectible is in the second largest cave room.

She summons a strong melee add, but the most fearsome attack she does is the single target instant magic spell.

Walk the Shadowed Path.

Guide:
Southwestern Cyrodiil, northwest of Castle Black Boot.

This collectible is inside the public dungeon Nisin Cave. Entrance to Nisin Cave is just north of three-ponds lake. There is a camp of hostile creatures in front of the entrance.

Skyshard is hidden inside the last Nisin Cave room. There are wisps inside the cave that patrol the area. Try not to pull them while cleaning the way towards the collectible. In my case, there was one strong creature in a tunnel between two largest Nisin Cave rooms. I was able to pass him by without alerting him. If you are up for a challenge, try defeating him after collecting the skyshard. It is possible to split apart a group of mobs by pulling one of the members, with a range spell.

This collectible is inside Serpent Hollow Cave – public dungeon. Serpent Hollow Cave entrance is east of nearby small lakes. It is on a higher ground. Ogres that populate inside cave have camp outside as well. They are quite unique with their appearance. They also have bears as pets. How cute! Inside cave is much like its outside. It is fill with bears and ogres. Couple of ogres patrols area with their bear pets (I want one!), thus you can easily die if you are not careful. The first room can pose the problem as it is rather small, and you can’t clearly notice the first ogre patrol. This patrol walks between two largest cave rooms. Be extremely careful while pulling bear groups here. You don’t want to pull ogre patrol as well. Bear power attacks are extremely powerful. It should be dodged in any mean necessary.

Skyshard we are out for is inside the last cave room, southeastern part of Serpent Hollow Cave. It stands in water of a nearby waterfall, near a tree. A Tree you say in the cave? Yes a tree. Ogre Bruuke can be found in this cave room. Another Ogre patrol this area. Lorebook The Slave Pits of Coldharbour is just across our collectible, beside a wooden path platform.

The first cave room can be problematic, as you can’t see the first Ogre patrol.

The monarch’s buried secret.

Guide:
Northeastern Cyrodiil, between Kingsscrest Keep (to the northwest) and Farragut Keep (to the southeast), south of Scroll Temple of Chim.

Another skill point piece hidden inside public dungeon. This time it is Kingscrest Cavern. This is a rather easy public dungeon where groups of 3 mobs are extremely rare. Most of the mobs are lonely and easy to solo. When you enter the cave, keep progressing toward its east end. Inside the largest Kingscrest Cavern room you can spot the collectible at the center of the cave. Cavern’s boss patrols this area. You might want to skip him and grab the skyshard first.

Enjoy a good roll in the muck.

Guide:
Eastern Cyrodiil, between Drakelowe Keep (to the southeast) and Blue Road Keep (to the northwest).

Skill point piece at this location is inside Muck Valley Cavern public dungeon. Path that leads toward the cave’s entrance starts from western side of a large lake nearby. You can notice wooden totems along the sides of this path. Bugs inside the cavern come rarely in groups of two. They are easy to defeat. Skyshard is inside the most southwestern cave room. Watch out for possible “Kerks Half-Ear” spawn location. This boss is extremely hard to defeat solo. Luckily for us , he patrolls and makes the collectible’s location safe for a few seconds (enough for you to grab it).

Find and enter Muck Valley Cavern.

Nurtured by amphibious host.

Guide:
Southeastern Cyrodil, between Drakelowe Keep (to the northeast) and The Aldmeri Dominion’s Eastern Elsweyr Gate.

Collectible can be found inside Newt Cave dungeon. This is the hardest dungeon to solo. What makes it hard are Trolls in the area. These trolls are not regular difficulty level enemies. They are extremely hard to defeat.
Avoid the troll at the dungeon and enter the cave. You can do this by pulling him from the nearby main road. Start running north. You can spot a small hill close by. This is the area above the cave entrance. Jump to it, and enter the cave before the troll is back. There are couple of trolls at the start of the dungeon as well. You can skip them and/or pull toward the southern cave room. They stop to follow you there. Now you can proceed toward the last room. Shard is inside this part of the cave, but there are more trolls… If you are extremely careful you can skip them as well. Stealth gives you a huge advantage here.

Rushing water in the depths.

Guide:
Eastern Cyrodiil, between Arrius Keep (to the west) and Farragut Keep (to the east).

This collectible is inside a public dungeon – Quickwater Cave. There is a small camp of enemies in front of the Quickwater Cave entrance. This camp is easily recognizable by a couple of wooden arches that you can usually see inside caves. There is a rather large wooden platform above the cave’s entrance. Dungeon itself is not that hard to solo through. Enemies come in groups of two. What makes it unique are Quickwater Caiman. These alligators hide silently in water ponds scattered around the cave. Some of them patrols the area as well. Keep in mind this fact before stepping into water with low health. Skyshard, we are after, is inside the first large room. This part of the cave is hidden by a waterfall.

Facing the Faceless.

Guide:
Eastern Cyrodiil, between Farragut Keep (to the north) and Drakelowe Keep (to the south).

Skyshard is inside a public dungeon – Vahtacen. Entrance to this cave is at the most northern part of the river that goes through eastern Cyrodiil. Entrance of the cave is rather epic. Creatures inside come mostly in groups of two. Couple of them are well hidden behind cave corners. Be careful and don’t rush. If you are careful enough not to pull patrolling mobs, walking to the collectible location is going to be easy. Vahtacen’s skyshard is tucked in the most southwestern part of the cave.

Cave’s entrance seems rather familiar, don’t you think? “Speak, friend, and enter” anyone…
