The Elder Scrolls Online High Isle: How to unlock Ember as a companion

Jon Bitner
By

High Isle has brought a bunch of new content to ESO, including the arrival of two new companions – Ember and Isobel. If you’re looking for a reliable character that’ll help get you through some of High Isle’s tricky content, consider unlocking Ember as soon as possible. The Khajiit makes an excellent Mage, dealing significant damage and speeding up most encounters.

When you first meet them, however, Ember isn’t ready to join your party. Here’s how to unlock Ember in ESO and gain them as a companion.

Complete the Tower Full of Trouble quest

In order to unlock Ember as a companion, you’ll need to complete the Tower Full of Trouble quest. Here’s a quick look at how to find the quest and complete it.

Step 1: Head toward the Tor Draioch Wayshrine, located just north of the starting zone in High Isle. An easy way to find it is by crossing the bridge northwest of town and following the road farther north.

Step 2: Once you’ve found the Tor Draioch Wayshrine, talk with Ladlow Menant. They'll be located down the road to the south. In fact, anyone following the main road will run into Menant before reaching the Wayshrine. This will start the Tower Full of Trouble quest.

Step 3: Menant will instruct you to find Ember, located to the north. Follow your quest marker to find them.

Step 4: Continue following the quest markers to restore different Wards. Speak with Ember once this task is complete.

Step 5: The Tower Full of Trouble quest will send you to a few different locations to complete a few different tasks. Continue following your quest markers until you find yourself speaking to Magister Irin in the nearby tower.

Step 6: Talk with Irin, then talk one last time with Ember. She’ll ask to become a companion, giving you the option to summon her during your travels.

How to summon Ember

Summoning Ember works just like every other companion in ESO. If you’re new to the system, here’s how it's done.

Step 1: Open the Main menu and navigate to the Collections tab.

Step 2: Select Allies.

Step 3: Select Companions. This will open a menu with all unlocked and summonable companions.

Who is Ember?

Ember is a Khajiit that excels at using magic. Consider adding them to your roster if you’re a tank or melee fighter, as Ember can deal significant damage from afar. Like all companions, your Rapport with Ember will change based on your actions. Here’s a quick look at some of the actions that will gain Ember’s approval and disapproval.

Disapproval: Fishing, trespassing, stealing

Approval: Mages Guild dailies, Thieves Guild heist without bonus, High Isle daily delve, harvesting runestone, killing wolves/werewolves, pickpocketing a guard

There are plenty of other ways to win Ember’s favor or disapproval — so be sure to perform different in-game actions and see how they react. If you manage to raise your Rapport high enough, you’ll unlock special personal quests (Cold Trail; Cold Blood, Old Pain; Green With Envy). Complete these to earn the Ember’s Companion achievement.

How to set a course in Starfield
Cockpit in spaceship from Starfield.

Rather than build one massive world like in an Elder Scrolls title, Bethesda opted to create hundreds of planets to travel between in the aptly named Starfield. While not every planet is necessary to visit, you will be jumping between them extremely frequently to complete missions, do sidequests, build outposts, and generally explore. When you are first shoved into the pilot's seat, it can feel overwhelming coming to grips with how the system works. If you just want to get from point A to B, setting a course is the easiest way to dos o. Here's how to get where you need to be without searching the massive star map in Starfield.

How to get Structural Materials in Starfield
Starfield planet.

Starfield has a massive expanded the amount of things you can build and craft. From entire Outposts to weapon mods and research projects, everything you want to craft will require specific materials to create. These materials will be found all over the various planets, either as lootable objects, ores you need to mine, or even as items you can purchase from various vendors, but some will always be harder to find than others. Structural Materials, while not the rarest resource, are used in nearly every aspect of Outpost building and upgrades. If you're running low on this crucial building block, here's how to get more Structural Materials in Starfield.
Ways to get Structural Materials

Like any resource in Starfield, there's more than one way to get your hands on Structural Materials. The easiest, but most expensive, will be to simply buy them from one of the many shops around the galaxy. Vendors' stock is slightly variable from day to day, but you can typically rely on any of your more "general" stores to carry this common material, such as the Jemison Mercantile in New Atlantis or Shepard's General Store on Akila. Each vendor will only hold a specific amount, so if you need a lot, you will need to do a little legwork. After buying out everything a vendor has, if you wait for 24 hours at a chair or bed, you can go back and their stock will be replenished.

How to unlock the Pilgrim’s room in Starfield
Cockpit in spaceship from Starfield.

For the most part, the main questline in Starfield won't challenge you too much in terms of puzzle-solving. Missions tend to boil down to getting an objective, fast traveling to a location, and following your marker until you collect an Artifact. Since you can only unlock all the powers by going through the main quests, you will at least want to complete most of them before going off and doing all the faction missions, outpost building, or general space exploration. There's one mission, though, that can be a roadblock if you're not extra observant and invested in reading all the lore. If you don't know the answers to opening the Pilgrim's Computer in Starfield, here is all the information you need.
Pilgrim Computer's answers

After you arrive at Pilgrim's Rest and explore, you will be led to the small base that's full of notes, among dozens of other items. Your objective is behind a locked door that asks you a few questions that you're supposed to learn the answers to by hunting down and reading all the notes. This isn't a door you can lockpick no matter how high your skill level is, so selecting the right answers is the only way forward. Here are all the questions you will be asked, and the correct responses:
