15. ARD SKELLIG: WRECK OF THE ATROPOS (AXII)
Quest Specific? No
When you first land on Skellige after the rough sea crossing, check the initial beach for the remains of the Atropos (the ship you traveled on before the pirate attack). Watch for Sirens if you return here (the nearest Signposts are Crossroads and Rannvaig).
16. ARD SKELLIG: KAER TROLDE KEEP (QUEN)
Quest Specific? Yes
Deep within the keep atop the mountain at Kaer Trolde is a secret underground escape tunnel, which is accessed during Secondary Quest: King’s Gambit. Find it just after the wine cellar catches fire, and you escape with Cerys.
17. ARD SKELLIG: ANCIENT CRYPT (IGNI)
Quest Specific? Yes
Enter the Ancient Crypt along the north coast of Ard Skellig during Main Quest: The Sunstone with Philippa Eilhart. The monolith is in these Elven catacombs, close to the first huge elven statue in the initial large cavern. It can be accessed after the quest, too.
18. ARD SKELLIG: NORTH OF REDGILL (AARD)
Quest Specific? No
Head north up the coastal path from Redgill, along the western edge of Ard Skellig. Fight Harpies, and watch for a terrifying Cyclops lurking in the clifftop ruins. Explore the ruins, climbing up to an interior grotto and monolith.
19. ARD SKELLIG: DRUIDS’ CAMP (YRDEN)
Quest Specific? No
In the woods just above the Druids’ Camp (over on the western side of Ard Skellig) is an easy-to-spot monolith. Gather the power from it, ideally during Main Quest: Echoes of the Past.
20. ARD SKELLIG: HOLMSTEIN PORT (AXII)
Quest Specific? No
Along the southwestern shoreline, southeast of Wild Shore itself, and north of Holmstein Port, is a large boulder and rubble scree (and cave with farting trolls within). Take the trail across the mountains from Holstein Port for easy access.
21. AN SKELLIG: YNGVAR’S FANG (QUEN)
Quest Specific? No
Though it’s wise to start Secondary Quest: The Path of Warriors first, you can visit the Trail to Yngvar’s Fang, and carefully ascend the insanely treacherous path (detailed in the quest) all the way to the misty summit of Yngvar’s Fang itself, where the monolith hums.
22. SPIKEROOG: SVORLAG (IGNI)
Quest Specific? No
It’s recommended (but not mandatory) you start Secondary Quest: Possession, and visit Spikeroog to help out Cerys. Take the uphill path northwest of Svorlag, past the Abandoned House, to a high mountain plateau where the monolith stands.
23. FAROE: HARVIKEN (YRDEN)
Quest Specific? No
Visit the isle of Faroe, take the trail heading west from Harviken, and at the initial junction, take the left path. It winds up a forest trail to a shrine to Hemdall. The monolith is just right of the shrine.
