A Breach Amid the Trees is the fifth quest in the Psijic Order quest line in Elder Scrolls Online. It takes the player on a journey through the Valenwood maps, including Malabal Tor, Greenshade and Grahtwood, where they have to find and seal nine time breaches. This will make them advance to the fifth level of the Psijic Order, and get the final part of the Psijic Regulator achievement / trophy, called Psijic Forester. In this guide, we’ll show you how to complete A Breach Amid the Trees quest, where to find all the time breaches in Valenwood.
Malabal Tor Time Breach Locations
No. 1
Head toward the northeastern part of Malabal Tor. There is a bridge across a small river there, west from Ragnthar, south from Treehenge, north from Black Vine Villa and the Wilding Vale Wayshrine. Go under this root bridge and you’ll find the first time breach.
No. 2
The next one is in the far north of the map. There is a large archipelago there, with Tempest Island and Horseshoe Island. The island you’re looking for is north from Vulkwasten. This island has a small bay on its southern side, with two huge trees at its edges. The time breach is between these two trees, on the water.
No. 3
The final Malabal Tor time breach is on the southern side of the map. It is on a small island, in the middle of the lake northeast from Xylo River Basin Dolmen, south from Belarata, west from Jathsogur, north from the Abamath Wayshrine. In the middle of this island, there is a huge tree. Next to its southern root, you’ll find the third time breach.
Greenshade Time Breach Locations
No. 4
The first Greenshade time breach is in the northern part of the map. From the northernmost wayshrine, Moonhenge, follow the road until the large curve. This is where you should continue north, right up to the edge. You’ll find the breach between two tree trees of different sizes.
No. 5
To reach the next one, you’ll need to travel to the far west of the map, where’s the Fisherman’s Rest is located. It is a bit north from Woodhearth, west from the Serpent’s Grotto Wayshrine. The breach is close to the shore, north from where the area of interest camp is situated.
No. 6
The last Greenshade time breach is in the southern part of the map, within the Labyrinth. You can fast travel to it using the Labyrinth Wayshrine to the northeast or the Greenheart Wayshrine to the southwest. Once you enter the maze from the south, turn right, and keep to your left from there. Several steps later, you’ll get to the final Greenshade time breach.
Grahtwood Time Breach Locations
No. 7
You should start the journey at Reman’s Bluff, the northwesternmost fort. You’ll find it southwest from Redfur Trading Post. There is a ruined tower within it. Go inside it, and you’ll find a time breach seal on its ground floor.
No. 8
The next one is within a hollow tree in western Grahtwood, marked as Gil-Var-Delle on the map. If you decide to use the wayshrines you can go to the Temple of the Eight in the north, or Falinesti Winter in the south. Either way, as you get inside this hollow tree, continue forward past the center, and you’ll find the second to last time breach.
No. 9
The final Valenwood time breach is in the east. A bit east from Elden Root, in the Ossuary of Telacar ruins, south from the Mage mundus stone, north from Ossuary Wayshrine. The time breach is inside a ruined room, in the west of the outer ring of the ruins.
Lokesh, thank you for this post. Its very inspiring.
wonderful guide, thanks for your efforts.
Very well and throughout, thank you.
Thank you for this well thought out map, it’s very accurate and helpful!
I appreciate the guide, I hate these kinds of quest, glad to finally get them out of the way!
Love your guides, thank you’
Still using this guide in 2021. Thank you so much for the help I really appreciate at you!
I think there’s an error on No. 7, the marker should be a bit to the south, at the fort icon.
Thanks so much for putting these together.
Thank you so much, if not for you, I’d still be looking for that first breach.
Thank you. Still using in 23
GREAT JOB!! VERY THOROUGH! THANKS!
I have used your guides to 3 sets of the breaches and you are spot on. Very good job and keep up the good work.
