The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is receiving the new zone DLC Firesong on November 1, 2022. In the new area, Galen and Y’ffelon, there are again sky shards to collect for skill points. MyMMO author MiezeMelli reveals where to find them.
What are sky shards? Sky shards are brightly glowing crystals found in the regions of Tamriel. They can be seen from a distance due to the blue-white light beam they emit into the sky.
The sky shards can be discovered and collected by players. Collecting 3 sky shards gives the player 1 skill point. So it is really worth looking for the glowing crystals. They can be found both in dungeons and outdoors.
Unfortunately, they are not character-wide. However, you can purchase the sky shards for an area in the Crown Store once you’ve collected them with one of your characters.
How to get all sky shards from Galen (Firesong)
As in other areas in ESO, there are also some sky shards to discover in this zone DLC. In total, there are 6 sky shards in this DLC, including 4 outside and 2 in dungeons. This corresponds to a total of 2 skill points for your character.
Here you can see the map with markers for the sky shards on the island of Galen and Y’ffelon.

Sky shards in the outdoors of Galen and Y’ffelon (Firesong):
Let’s start with the sky shards that you can find relatively easily in the open world.
Sky Shard 1 – Through a tunnel in Glimmerbergsee, on a balcony with a view
You can best reach this sky shard via the way shrine of Glimmerbergsee. Move from there to the next fork in the road and keep heading south. Caution! You can really only reach the sky shard from this side.
Sky Shard 2 – Near an interesting bridge made of a tree at Ivyheim
This sky shard is located in Llanshara. Travel to the way shrine of Llanshara and follow the path north. You will have to wade through some branches until you reach the sky shard. Be sure to follow the dotted path on your map.
Sky Shard 3 – Between two rocks in the hills northwest of Tuinh
This sky shard is located southeast of the Sunken Hollow Cave. There are two paths that are about the same length:
- Option A: Travel first to the way shrine of Glutranke and move south along the path. At the intersection, you must choose the path east and walk towards the sky shard.
- Option B: Travel to the way shrine of the eastern shore and move north along the path. There you will encounter the sky shard near the coast.
Sky Shard 4 – Southeast of the Thicket of Fount on a ledge surrounded by rock
This sky shard is located near the volcanic vent in the vicinity of Vastyr. Travel to the way shrine of the outskirts of Vastyr and move cross-country northward. The shard is located at the highest point in the area. To reach the top, you will need to circle around it.
Sky shards in dungeons of Galen and Y’ffelon (Firesong):
Sky Shard 5 – In the Thicket of Fount on fragile stairs of the southern cliffs
This sky shard is located in the dungeon “Thicket of Fount”. You can reach it via the way shrine of Y’ffres Path. Move south from there.
Once you have entered the dungeon, choose the left of the two paths. Shortly after, you should spot the sky shard on your left side.
Sky Shard 6 – Above the magma pools near the northern tip of Glutranke
This sky shard is located in the dungeon “Glutranke”. Travel to the way shrine of Llanshara and move southeast.
Once you have entered the dungeon, first follow the path straight ahead. At the end of the path, you will reach the entrance to the 2nd level, the upper viewpoint. After you enter it, keep to the right. In the north of the map, you will reach another access to the inner caverns on your way.
On this 3rd level, there are 3 different paths. Choose the middle path heading north. At the end of it, you will reach the last access point and can enter the jungle viewpoint. Once you have done that, you will already see the sky shard.
Once you have collected all the sky shards, you will also receive the achievement “Sky Shard Hunter of Galen”.
