The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online will receive the new chapter High Isle on June 6th, 2022. In the new area, the high island, there are again some sky shards and skill points to collect. MeinMMO author MiezeMelli tells you where to find them.
What are skyshards? Skyshards are glaring crystals found throughout Tamriel’s map. You can see them from a great distance because a blue-white glowing ray rises up from them.

Skyshards can be collected by players. Every 3 Skyshards collected give the player 1 skill point. In any case, it is worth looking for the glowing crystals. Skyshards can be found in vaults as well as outdoors.
How To Get All High Isle Skyshards
As in the already known areas of Tamriel, there are also some skyshards to discover in this chapter. There are 18 Skyshards in total again, 10 outdoors and 8 in vaults. That corresponds to a total of 6 skill points.
Here you can see the map with the markers for the skyshards on the high island and Amenos.
If you still need to find Skyshards in other areas, check out our guides below:
Outdoor High Isle Skyshards:
Let’s start with the sky shards, which you can find relatively relaxed in the open world.
Skyshard 1 – High above the river through the Fire Pot
You start north of the Coral Road wayshrine. There you will find the first skyshard.
Skyshard 2 – On a beach near a bridge on the south coast
This skyshard goes the other way. It is located south-west of the Coral Road Wayshrine on the coast of High Island.
Skyshard 3 – Under the middle bridge of Loch Abhain
Right between the wayshrines of Tor Draioch and the western bay lies another skyshard. Look below the bridge that lies over the body of water.
Skyshard 4 – Above a volcanic vent north of Tor Draioch.
Above Tor Draioch lies one of High Isle’s volcanic vents. There you will also find a Skyshard. If you travel there by wayshrine, you can use either the Tor Draioch wayshrine or the Dufort Shipyards wayshrine.
For the first choice you have to go to the north-west, for the second choice you have to go to the south-west.
Skyshard 5 – Just west of a sharp rock on the northernmost beach
The Skyshard is located at the southernmost tip of the High Island. From the volcanic vent near the Garicksrest wayshrine, a path leads you south directly to the Skyshard.
Skyshard 6 – Hidden in the rocks above Jheury’s Bay
This skyshard appears to be in a vault. But appearance is deceptive. You must look for her outside of Jheury’s Vault. The wayshrines are all quite a distance from this location, but the Garicksrest wayshrine is the closest place to port to. From there, follow the path that leads south.
Skyshard 7 – In the shadow of the north wall of Castle of All Flags
The last skyshard you can collect outdoors is in the middle of the tiny island. You can reach this either via the wayshrine of all flags or by going to the part of the high island south of the mini-island and then swimming through the sea there.
On the island itself you then have to walk in an arc to the right to the top.
Skyshards in High Isle Vaults:
For some sky shards, however, you have to go into vaults or open dungeons. The directions are always a little more complicated.
Skyshard 8 – In the “Fire Pot” vault
The Firepot Vault is located just a few steps away from the first skyshard in the north of the Coral Road Wayshrine.
The Fire Pot is a dungeon in High Isle.
Skyshard 9 – In the Breakwater Cave
This skyshard is located in the Breakwater Cave. This vault can be found in the middle of the following three wayshrines:
Arriving at the vault, you can always keep right after entering to get to the skyshard at the top.
You can also find one of the 18 new Skyshards in the Breakwater Cave.
Skyshard 10 – Tower of Crimson Coin Public Dungeon
You can find the open dungeon in the south-east of the high island. Near the wayshrine of Tor Draioch is the entrance to the open dungeon. You have to move all the way east inside the dungeon. A labyrinth awaits you there, in which the skyshard lies. But don’t worry, it’s not too complicated.
Just keep to the right. You will find out relatively quickly whether you have found your way around incorrectly, because the dead ends are very short. At some point you will come to a clearing where a boss, the “Crimson Apprentice”, is located.
In order to defeat him, you must occasionally interrupt him after he jumps to a different position.
After that, take the 2nd passage from the right side (seen from the boss). At the end you will find the Skyshard.
Skyshard 11 – In the Shipwreck Shallows
The Shipwreck Shoals are located in the north-east of the high island.
In order to get into the Shipwreck Shallows, you must first set the sails.
Skyshard 12 – In Death Wish Keep
This vault is west of the Garicksrest Wayshrine. You can reach them relatively easily inside the vault by keeping to the right.
In Death Wish Keep, the path to the Skyshard is relatively straightforward.
How to get all Skyshards from Amenos (High Isle)
Outdoor Skyshards of Amenos (High Isle):
On Amenos you can find 3 skyshards outdoors and another 3 skyshards in vaults.
Skyshard 13 – In the heart of the riverbed east of Amenos Post
In the south of Amenos, east of the Amenos Post wayshrine, you will find the first Skyshard. If you don’t already know the said wayshrine, then you have to travel from the Dufort shipyards to Amenos.
Skyshard 14 – On the shore of the flooded shore under the gaze of the Serpent’s Eye
The Skyshard is located near the wayshrine of the same name in north-eastern Amenos.
Skyshard 15 – In a cove full of wrecks along the Skullfang Coast
This is the northernmost skyshard of Amenos, above the Skullfang Coast.
Skyshards in Vaults of Amenos (High Isle):
Skyshard 16 – The Ghost Haven Bay Public Dungeon
For this skyshard you have to go to one of the 2 open dungeons. The Ghost Haven Cove dungeon is south of the Crackrock Wayshrine. In the open dungeon, stay to the right. If you look at the map, you will see a body of water at the bottom. Then move to the bottom right of the map.
At the water “tip” appears a passage to the Cavern of Ghost Harbor Cove. Stay to the right again. To get the Skyshard, you have to get past one of the Captain Tuvacca dungeon bosses. From there, go into the passage that takes you south of the boss.
At the end of the hallway is the Skyshard.
Skyshard 17 – In the Coral Cliffs vault
The Coral Cliffs are north of the Flooded Coast wayshrine.
Skyshard 18 – In the Whalefall vault
The Whalefall vault is west of the hidden foundry. You can find it, also to the west of the Serpent’s Hollow Wayshrine.
In the open dungeons you will not only find a heavenly shard, but also always get a whole skill point for the so-called group venture. This is one of the bosses found in each dungeon. But get ready, it won’t be a cakewalk.
With the new High Isle chapter, a card game is coming to Tamriel for the first time, a game within a game. Here you can find out what MeinMMO author MiezeMelli thinks about the new card game in ESO. What about you? Do you like it or rather not?
