Finding Skyshards in Elder Scrolls Online

When you see a torch on the map, you’ll find a mini-dungeon and in ESO there is usually at least one Skyshard in these types of dungeons. Also, keep an eye out for landmarks or impressive structures as Skyshards like to be hidden nearby.

Precise locations of each are usually hidden from view, so be sure to look around the rock, around bushes and keep an eye out for their glowing spire of light which they create directly above them.

Most of the time you’ll naturally stumble upon them through questing and exploring.
