Dragonflight Dragon Riding Glyphs Location Guide

This Glyph is inside the bottom of a ruined tower on the small island, Talon's Watch, in the far Southwest corner of The Forbidden Reach. You can reach it from the ground and jump to collect it.

This Glyph is close to the top of a snowy mountain, slightly raised from the floor in an open space.

If you're coming to this Glyph from Talon's Watch (Glyph 1), you can use the Gale Wind on that Island to get higher in the air. Then, fly in a straight line towards The Frosted Spine Glyph location and use Skyward Ascent on your way to reach the correct height up the mountain.

This Glyph is at the top of a tall tower with large rounded pillars in the Talonlords' Perch ruined village.

If you fly from the previous Glyph in our list, you can glide down to this one without using Vigor.

This Glyph is towards the top of the Stormsunder Mountain on the East of The Forbidden Reach, slightly hidden behind a rock close to the top right side of the mountain.

When flying to this Glyph from Talonlord's Perch, you can fly mostly level towards this fourth Glyph and use Skyward Ascent to reach the ledge. Flying in this direction, the Glyph will be partially hidden behind a spikey part of the mountain.

This Glyph is close to the top and towards the back of the mountain on Dragonskull Island, the medium sized Island to the Northeast of the Forbidden Reach zone. It is beneath a group of trees on a grassy area of the mountain.

Flying from Glyph 4, Stormsunder Mountain, you can glide all the way down to this one by flying behind the mountain.

This Glyph is inside the dome at the top of a very high tower at Froststone Peak, close to the Froststone Vault on the map.

Flying directly from the Glyph on Dragonskull Island is mostly in a straight line, however, you need to gain a lot of height to reach the Glyph. You will need to use roughly 4-6 Vigor charges on Skyward Ascent. If you run out before your reach it, you can land on the mountain below the tower to recharge.

The Glyph is floating inside of a short tower with a broken roof in front of the Caldera of the Menders in the Northeast of the main island. If you miss going through the roof, you can also access the tower from the ground.

When flying from the Froststone Peak Glyph, you can glide all the way down to this Glyph. Aim for the blue laser beam on the floor, and the tower with the Glyph inside will be slightly to the right of that.

This Glyph is inside a short, ruined tower on the ground, located on the Winglord's Perch, the Island in the top-left of the Forbidden Reach.

Flying from Glyph 7 first requires a couple uses of Skyward Ascent to get some height, but then you can glide around the mountain on your right, towards the Island with the final Glyph. Flying from this direction, the Glyph will be hidden inside the roof of the short tower, but it's the only tower on the ground part of the Island, so it should be easy to find.

This glyph is located right next to the Rostrum of Transformation at the skytop Observatory.

Once you get this one, take the first Dragonriding Skills to increase your Vigor to 4 charges.

This glyph is located on top of the tower at Skytop Observatory.

If you continue the questline a little further, you will get teleported to the top of the tower, directly below the glyph. You can use Skyward Ascent to fly out of the tower and turn around to reach the Glyph.

If you start from the floor, you can use all 4 uses of Skyward Ascent to get to the glyph quickly.

The more controlled approach is to use 2 uses of Skyward Ascent to get to the platform on the right side of the tower, then use 1 Skyward Ascent to get to the bridge, then 2 uses of Skyward Ascent from the bridge to the glyph. Wait in between for your vigor to recharge.

This glyph is located inside of the broken part of the tower. You can either use multiple charges of Skyward Ascent to reach it from the floor, or glide down from the Skytop Observatory. Also, you can use the ledge right below it to not fall down before moving to the next glyph.

This Glyph is quite close to the floor, just above a short tower.

This glyph is very high up on the mountain, so it will require you to fly to a few ledges to regenerate your vigor before making your way to the very top.

This glyph is located on the roof, so you need to save Vigor to use multiple Skyward Ascent charges. The other option is to recharge your vigor at one of the ledges/platforms before going higher.

If you're coming directly from Glyph 5, you can glide all of the way down to this one.

This one is tricky and may require you to recharge your Vigor a few times before making your way up to the glyph, especially if you do it early on. The glyph is located behind the Obsidian citadel above the lava pool, so you can use the platforms on the Citadel and the mountain just below the glyph to recharge your Vigor.

You will need up to 4 charges of Skyward Ascent from the ground to comfortably reach it, or you can use the tall tower or the surrounding mountains to get higher up before using Skyward Ascent or Surge Forward to reach the glyph.

This glyph is located very high in the sky, slightly away from the highest of the floating platforms. To reach it from the floor, it will require 4 charges of Skyward Ascent.

This glyph is located on top of the big mountain. I would recommend waiting part way up with this one until you have enough vigor recharged to reach the top.

If you came to this Glyph from number 1, you should already be able to make it pretty high up the mountain to recharge Vigor.

Once you collect this Glyph and have collected all of the other zone’s glyphs you should be able to unlock one of your final dragonriding skills in the current tree.

This glyph is located at the very top of the Seat of the Aspects tower in Valdrakken. It is high up, from the floor of Valdrakken it takes 3 - 4 charges of Skyward Ascent to reach the Glyph.

If you want to go from Glyph 9 to this one, I recommend that you go back via Glyph 8 as the mountain on the left is very high. I flew back to the Algeth'ar Academy tower and recharged my vigor before flying up to Glyph 10 from the Tyrhold side.

Once you get high enough to get into the area, you can glide the rest of the way to the glyph. You can also land on a rock area or the raid entrance platform to recharge some vigor.

This glyph is probably one of the hardest glyphs to get. It is located on the biggest mountain on the dragon isles; it will require you to have unlocked most of your dragon riding skills and you will still need to land on side parts of the mountain to recharge your Vigor before making it all the way to the top.

The rest points that you can land on are spaced out around the mountain, so if you find yourself losing speed, you can try to fly around the mountain before losing too much height if you are fully out of Vigor.

With almost everything unlocked and coming directly from the raid entrance platform next to Glyph 10, I landed twice to recharge Vigor. Firstly on a spiked section of the mountain on the side of the mountain that you reach directly from Glyph 10. The second on the snowy part of the mountain, almost on the opposite side from where I started. From there, I was able to Skyward Ascent 4 times to reach the Glyph at the very peak of the mountain.

This glyph is located inside the top of the tower, just below the rooftop. The glyph is pretty high up, so from the floor it will take multiple charges of Skyward Ascent.

If you come to this Glyph after Glyph 11, you can swiftly dive down straight towards the tower.
