Apocrypha is a strange, alien-like zone, known from other Elder Scrolls games such as Skyrim. But did you know that the full realm of Apocrypha will soon be accessible in ESO? It takes a bit of searching to actually find Apocrypha for the first time, so this guide should be helpful if you’re having trouble!
How to get to Apocrypha in ESO
The Portal to access Apocrypha is located in the city of Necrom in the Telvanni Peninsula zone. You must own the Necrom Chapter to access the full zone of Apocrypha.
To find the portal head North from the Necrom City gates until you reach the Necrom wayshrine, then head East to the area which contains the guild trader vendors. In this section is a relatively hidden doorway that leads to the Necrom Bindery. Two portals to access Apocrypha are located here.
Note that you do NOT need to start any quest to go to this location and access the portals, so if you want to skip the main quest and head straight to Apocrypha you can do that easily!
Two Options for Reaching Apocrypha
There are two different gates located in the Necrom Bindery that lead you to Apocrypha. Each gate will deliver you to a different location inside the zone. The gate on the left takes you to the North side of Apocrypha while the gate on the right takes you to the South side.
How to fast travel to Apocrypha
Once you discover a single wayshrine within Apocrpyha you can then fast travel back to the zone at any time. The location on ESO’s world map for Apocrypha is the Aurbis which contains other Daedric Realms such as Cold Harbour and Clockwork City. Simply zoom your map out as far as possible to view this area.
