All Map Fragments in Shadow Of The Erdtree
The following list features every major region in Shadow Of The Erdtree that has its own Map Fragment. Finding these will uncover the ‘fog’ on your map and make it easier to chart your progress in the Land of Shadow. See the following list to be directed to the map of your choice, or, scroll down for each one.
We’ve listed these Map Fragments in the order you’re likely to encounter them naturally in Elden Ring. We recommend travelling through these regions in the order suggested. Before uncovering your map, the Map Fragment locations will be indicated by the little monument symbol on your map with a surrounding glow.
Starting off nice and easy, the first region you’ll encounter in the Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC is theGravesite Plain. The map fragment of which, can be found directly east of the original spawn point you start from. Head towards theScorched Ruinson the main road and the Map Fragment should be near the entrance on a stone monument.
Look out for the nearby harpy-like creatures as they like to drop down from the stone structures nearby and it is easy to get caught up in their dual-wielding spin attacks.
There are two main ways to get toScadu Altus, the region east of the Gravesite Plain. The first involvesprogressing through Castle Ensis. Much of this path involves navigating around the castle until you discover the Castle-Lord’s ChamberSite Of Grace.
Defeat the boss here, and you’ll be able to open access to Scadu Altus. From the main front gate, simply follow the northern road to The Shadow Keep. Before you get to the keep, there will be an encampment of soldiers and the Map Fragment will be waiting on a monument.
Alternatively, you can skip this boss and take a route via theFort Of Reprimand. The Fort is located southeast of the Castle Front Site Of Grace. Take the dirt path populated by foot soldiers and trolls until you see a swamp area with poisonous flowers by a cliff edge. From here, take the left eastern cliffside path around and use both consecutive Spiritsprings to gain access to the Fort (just before reaching Elder’s Hovel). From the Fort Of Reprimand entrance, travel north and simply follow the main road to the Map Fragment.
TheSouthern ShoreMap Fragment encompasses most of the south, including theCerulean Coast, one of the most beautiful places to visit in Shadow Of The Erdtree. It can, however, be quite convoluted to get there as it involves traversal across many waterfalls. Follow these steps to access the Cerulean Coast and pick up the Southern Shore Map Fragment:
TheAncient Ruins of Rauhcan be confusing to navigate as it is split up into two distinct upper and lower levels. The Map Fragment is located on thelower level. To access this region, you need to follow these steps:
To access the upper region of the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, you need to travel to the Specimen Storehouse within The Shadow Keep and take the lift to the left of the First Floor Site Of Grace.
The last and final Map Fragment is located within theAbyssal Woodsin Elden Ring. This area is not for the faint of heart however, there are enemies with unique Madness-inducing attacks everywhere and Torrent is not summonable in the region. We recommend stocking up on a healthy supply of Clarifying Boluses before taking this area on.
Additionally, the woods are located at the lower-most level of the Land of Shadow and can only be accessed via a secret pathway into a set of catacombs. We’ll break this location down by telling you how to get to these catacombs first, then the Abyssal Woods.
To get to theDarklight Catacombsyou’ll need to follow these steps:
To get to the Abyssal Woods you need to complete the Darklight Catacombs and defeat the boss at the end of them. To do so, it’s a mostly straightforward dungeon that requires you topull four levers(one on each level) to restore the light to the catacombs.
Once cleared (be wary of the various mages, fanged imps and especially the Bigmouth Imps that can shoot balls of flame at you),defeat Jori, Elder Inquisitor. He can be a little tough as he shoots golden arcs and summons additional enemies but I found luck diverting his attention withSpirit Ashesand attacking him whilst he paused to summon spells.
Rest and continue forward to discover the Abyssal Woods. The Map Fragment for this region can be found by following this route:
This area is fraught with danger, but with the map revealed you should be able to chart a course forward.
