In everyElder Scrolls Onlinezone are a variety of Skyshards. These nodes grant players a Skill Point with every three collected, and typically each zone has at least two levels' worth of Skyshards to locate. In the Deadlands DLC, there are six Skyshards to find.

Additionally, Update 32, which launched at the same time as the Deadlands DLC forThe Elder Scrolls Online, introduced a new system for finding Skyshards that simplifies the hunt a little bit. Finding the Skyshards in the first place, though, is a different matter altogether.
The Deadlands Skyshards Overview
The Deadlands DLC, along with Update 32, introduced a new map and compass feature toThe Elder Scrolls Onlinethat highlights nearby Skyshards. When a player is within a few hundred meters of one of these collectibles, a black-and-white outline of a Skyshard will appear on the world map and compass, guiding players who don’t have special addons installed.

The new Skyshard hunting system does not show the location of Skyshards everywhere on the map. It will only highlight those nearby, and the icon will disappear entirely if the player moves out of range. It’s a good idea to follow hints in the Zone Guide to determine the exact location of a nearby Skyshard, as the Deadlands Skyshards tend to be in less obvious locations than other zones.
Skyshard One: Near The Raging Coast Wayshrine
The first Skyshard listed in the Zone Guide is found mere minutes afterentering the Deadlands for the first time. Head North of the Raging Coast Wayshrine and you will come to a short stone bridge beneath two jutting stone platforms.
Look to the left platform and you will see the light of the Skyshard beaming from the tip of the outcropping. To get up there, head behind the large jutting stone and look for one of the several climbable inclines that lead to the top.
Skyshard Two: At Jynd’s Foundry
The second Skyshard is found in Jynd’s Factory, a place players visit during the Deadlands main questline. Head North of the Wretched Spire Wayshrine and turn West at the fork to see the Skyshard icon pop up. Alternatively, you can head to the Scoursales Wayshrine and head East along the main road.
As the Zone Guide hint suggests, this Skyshard is actually found beneath ground level, though it can also be accessed through a small hole in the rock on the Southeast side of the Foundry. Look for a beam of light emitting from a large hole in the ground,and survive the fallto find this Skyshard.
Skyshard Three: Below Annihilarch’s Summit
The third Skyshard is found on a rocky outcropping similar to the Raging Coast Skyshard. It’s one of the easier to find, too, as players only need to travel to the Annihilarch’s Summit Wayshrine and travel a short distance South to see the Skyshard icon pop up on the compass.
Players will see the Skyshard’s light beam above them on the side of a large rockface, and must travel to the rear of the stone inclineto find its entrance. There are few ways to get up to the top of this outcropping, so be patient and use your mount to wiggle your way over the base’s steep inclines.
Skyshard Four: In Fargrave’s Shambles District
The fourth Skyshardisn’t found in the Deadlandsat all, rather in the independent city of Fargrave that exists in its own bubble of Oblivion. Players should head to The Shambles (specifically the Shambles Wayshrine) to locate this Skyshard.
Travel South of the Wayshrine taking the high pathways, not the ground ones, to reach a more central area of the Shambles. The Skyshard is located across a bridge to a building above the ground, and this Skyshard is found near some pillars and, of course, above a hulking skeleton.
Skyshard Five: Inside the Brandfire Reformatory Delve
Every Delve inThe Elder Scrolls Onlinecontains one Skyshard, each of which is listed in the Zone Guide alongside the associated Delve. The Brandfire Reformatory Delve is found on the West side of the Deadlands across a short bridge over lava.
This Skyshard is found in the first room of the Brandfire Reformatory, behind the towering central cliffs on a metal platform embedded in rock. Players will see the icon on their compass and map as they approach, but because the Skyshard is located far above,players will have to scalethe structure to access it.
Skyshard Six: Inside the False Martyr’s Folly Delve
The sixth and final Skyshard in the Deadlands DLC is found inside the other Delve, False Martyr’s Folly. This Delve is found on the other side of the Deadlands at the far Northeast,just a short ride awayfrom the Delve’s eponymous Wayshrine.
This Skyshard is found in the central room of False Martyr’s Folly on the Eastern path sitting high on a ledge – it like it should be out-of-bounds. If players keep travelling to the back of the room, though, they will see a climbable incline that leads to this ledge and the final Skyshard.
