ESO veterans are used to the way new Chapters work and won’t have trouble finding outhow to startElder Scrolls OnlineHigh Isle. However, new players and fans returning to ESO after years away may have a harder time getting to the start of the new ESO Chapter. Keep in mind that to play any of the new content on High Isle you need to own the new Chapter - the most recent Chapter for ESO is never included with ESO Plus, so be sure to purchase theHigh Isleupgrade before attempting to head to this Breton resort.
Before Starting The Chapter, Complete The Prologue
Like mostElder Scrolls OnlineChapters, players cantake on a sort of prologue questthat sets up the story and characters of theHigh IsleChapter. This quest re-introduces Jakarn and Lady Arrabelle, a major character in the story ofHigh Isle.
To begin the prologue forHigh Isle, head to the Collections tab and look for the “Quest Starters” tab. Scroll through the options and look for an entry titled “Ascending Doubt”. Select this Quest Starter and you will be guided towards Jakarn to uncover the beginnings of the next major threat to Tamriel.
How To Start The High Isle Chapter
Once the prologue quest and its follow-up have been completed players are rewarded with the Glimmer Dust emote, used during the questline to dispel magic from the tampered amulets.

After this, players are guided towards High Isle to continue the story, but no direct path is presented like the cart next to Jakarn for the prologue. There are three ways to get to High Isle: by Wayshrine, by boat, or bystarting a new ESO character.
Get To High Isle By Wayshrine
On the very far left of the world map, west of Glenumbra, players can just about make out the small island that is High Isle (and Amenos). To get there by Wayshrine, zoom in on this location and select theWayshrine in Gonfalon Bay- you don’t need to have visited this Wayshrine, as it comes unlocked with the DLC.
Get To High Isle By Boat
To get to High Isle by boat, head to your faction’s capital and look for an NPC near the docks who can take you to High Isle. The easiest way to do this quickly is to take the “Of Knights and Knaves” quest from the DLC tab of the Collections menu, as this will guide you directly towards the nearest fast-travel point to High Isle. If you have a hard time, look on the world map for the name of the NPC you are supposed to talk to for travel to High Isle, as the locations each Boatswain can take you to are listed under their name.
Choose High Isle As Your Starting Location
After starting a new character inElder Scrolls Onlineand completing the relatively short tutorial, players are presented with a room full of portals to numerous zones in Tamriel and beyond. Here, players can choose almost anywhere to begin their adventure, thanks also to ESO’s player-leveled world systems. Choose High Isle as your starting zone toget right into the new Chapterfrom the get-go.
The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isleis available for PC, and will be available for Playstation and Xbox systems on May 15, 2025
