Where To Find All Apocrypha Striking Locales In ESO: Necrom?

The realm of Apocrypha may not be visually stunning compared to the Telvanni Peninsula; however, there are notable locales worth seeking out. These locations strongly connect to the many that call Apocrypha home and the interconnected history with this realm and its Daedric Prince, Hermaeus Mora, and his followers.

Apocrypha features many Points of Interest (POIs) to discover to earn experiences; there are six unique POIs called Striking Locales, which aid your progression to earn the Necrom Pathfinder Achievement. This will also help you progress with the Zone Completion for Apocrypha; you’ll need a mount and have several Wayshrines activated to fast travel between various points on the map.

Here are all the Striking Locales in Apocrypha and how to find them for ESO: Necrom chapter:

  • Fractured Monolith: From the Soundless Bight Wayshrine, take the route going northeast from the Wayshrine until you’ve reached the Writing Wastes Wayshrine. Once activated, head east from the Wayshrine until you’ve come across a large tower-like structure to discover its location.
  • Study of the Lost Cipher: Starting from the Apogee Nadir Wayshrine, head slightly northeast away from the Wayshrine to find this location, and if you continue going past the Study of the Lost Cipher, you’ll find a Spectral Book nearby.

  • Altar of the One Who Knows: The next Striking Locale can be found south of the Apogee Nadir Wayshrine, past The Underweave dungeon.
  • Syzygial Rostrum: If you’ve started locating the Aberrant Hushed NPCs in Apocrypha, this Striking Locale is the final location which is found west of the Transquil Catalog Wayshrine and north of the Disquiet Study dungeon.

The Telvanni Peninsula also features Striking Locales for players to seek out; however, this zone only has two. Nevertheless, locating them won’t give you much trouble as they can be found relatively early after arriving in this zone or during quests.

We’ve listed all Telvanni Peninsula Striking Locales and how to find them for ESO: Necrom chapter:

  • Tomb of the Nameless Master: This will be the first Striking Locale to discover as it’s behind the Necrom Outskirts Wayshrine heading east towards the coast.
  • House Dres Encampment: Players will likely find this Striking Locale while completing Fate’s Proxy Zone Quest, specifically, the Spirit of Fate sub-quest. After arriving at Tel Rendys with Leramil the Wise, head south, passing the Ald Isram Wayshrine, where you reach the crossroads as you’ll need to turn right where you’ll pass by the House Dres Encampment.

After finding all the Striking Locales, you’ll earn the Necrom Pathfinder Achievement and progress with the Zone Completion for Apocrypha and Telvanni Peninsula. This will also help you progress towards earning the Necrom Master Explorer Achievement, as you’ll need to find and clear all caves and Striking Locales in both locations.
