The rules state there are quests that can be completed prior to starting the Main Questline - Is there a complete list of all quests required for the any% Main Quest run?

Hello BordBrain,

The rules states that these quests should be done during the run even they can be done before starting the main quest.

"All quests that are part of the main questline must be done during the run. This includes quests that can technically be done before starting the run (i.e Ayleid King or Save Vanus)."

The part of the quest line that can be done before is the Coldharbour zone quest line. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Coldharbour

I take it not the entire Coldharbour zone questline, but rather ones that come up during the completion of the Main Story Quest? Just making sure before I skip over any quests in the area that the only two I need to worry about are ''Light from the Darkness'' and ''Vanus Unleashed''

EDIT: the quest graph on the page you linked shows follow-up quests under Vanus Unleashed on the way to completing ''God of Schemes'', for example.

And apologies for what may seem like odd questions, I've never run the main questline before - I greatly appreciate your help clarifying some things.

The quest graph may be a little bit confusing but you need to do tha whole Coldharbour quest line to do the main quest.

You need to fullfill the Army of Meridia to complete the Coldhardbour quest line. Army of Meridia needs to complete Light from the Darness AND Breaking the Shackle.

You can take a look at the current world record to see which quests are done while doing it. The video has chapters with quest names.

ESO main quest and zone quests are quite directive and one pathed. During the speedrun there is really few optimization on the route (unfortunetly).
