Skyrim Guide - All Standing Stones Locations

Skyrim's Standing Stones offer the player a wide variety of bonuses, from new spells to cast once per day, to changing up your character's attributed in a major way. In this Skyrim Standing Stone location guide, we'll be detailing where you can find every Standing Stone scattered around Skyrim's vast reaches, as well as the bonuses that each stone offers your character.

If you need help with anything else in this massive game, then head over to our Skyrim guides hub, containing all the info you need to get the most out of the original game, or the Special Edition released for the current group of consoles.

Unlike the Birthsigns in Morrowind and Oblivion, the Skyrim Standing Stone bonuses in this game can be changed out at any time, as all you need to do is simply find another Standing Stone and activate its blessing in order for it to take over. You'll most likely happen upon the Warrior, Mage, and Thief Stones first, which can all be found just outside of Helgen, on your way to Riverwood after the tutorial section is over.
