At The End Of A Bumpy Road Skyshard

Guide:
Southern Cyrodiil, between Castle Black Boot (to the southwest) and Castle Faregyl (to the northeast).

In order to grab this skill point piece you need to enter Pothole Cavern – public dungeon. There is a camp of Shadowed Path enemies defending its entrance, as well as cave inside. Group of 2 mobs are regular. Patrolling creatures sometimes join this groups. Skyshard you are looking for is inside the largest Pothole Cavern room. It is on top of a small stone shrine, next to candles. This is a possible spawn area of Serrin Vol. He is a pretty tough mob to solo. In order to defeat him you need to annul his powerful instant spell. This spell is devastating and you need to find a way to survive it. He also spawns an add that helps him in combat. Another prize for defeating Serrin Vol comes in a shape of lorebook “On the Detachment of the Sheath”. This lorebook is in the same area where you can collect the skyshard.

This is one of those skyshards that are far away from main road. Luckily for us, it is in an open area so we are not forced to fight enemies like we are in caves. It is located in the western side of Wenyandawik POI. This area is part of Ayleid Ruins. You can notice them from afar by its distinctive tall stone walls and circular platform that holds a well. This is an Ayleid Well. Upon interacting with this well, you receive a buff – Ayleid Health Bonus – that boosts your Max Health. Next to the main collectible you can find a lorebook “The Last King of the Ayleids”.

Walk The Shadowed Path Skyshard

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. If you plan to solo the dungeon, you should be aware of a couple of things. You really do not want to die inside. If you die, it means you will be teleported to a wayshrine your faction holds. 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.
