All Map Fragment locations in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree will take players to a location called the Shadow Lands. Just like the base game, you need to unlock its Map by collecting Map Fragments. Here are all the Map Fragment locations in Shadow of the Erdtree.

The Map is one of the biggest tools in your possession in Elden Ring as it helps with navigation. However, in the beginning, the Map is dark and it is quite easy to get lost. As such, you need to collect Map Fragments to reveal the various roads and buildings on the Map to make navigation easier.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree also features Map Fragments that function similarly to the base game. There are a total of five Map Fragments you can collect and that will open up the entire Shadow Lands for you.

Where to find all Map Fragments in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

Here’s every Map Fragment in Shadow of the Erdtree:

Gravesite Plain Location

• This is the first major area you will encounter in Shadow of the Erdtree after touching Miquella’s cocoon.
• Once you enter the Shadow Lands, run northeast and you will notice the familiar stele from the base game in the middle of a field.
• Approach it and pick up the item to receive the Map Fragment for Gravesite Plain.

Scadu Altus Location

• Similar to Gravesite Plain, this Map Fragment is also very straightforward to collect.
• First, you need to make your way to Scadu Altus through Castle Ensis.
• This will be your first or second legacy dungeon depending on whether you explore Beruat Tower Settlement first or not.
• Upon entering Castle Ensis you will face two bosses – Moonrithyll, Carian Knight, and Rellana, Twin Moon Knight.
• The latter is one of the hardest bosses in the game, so be prepared.
• Once you defeat Rellana, walk out of Castle Ensis and you will reach Scadu Altus.
• Once you reach the location, look for the Highroad Cross Site of Grace.
• This Site of Grace will be near the Castle Ensis exit with Needle Knight Leda standing near it.
• From here, move northeast and you will notice the stele with the Scadu Altus Map Fragment.

Rauh Ruins Location

• If you want to collect this Map Fragment, you need to first make your way to Scadu Altus.
• However, there is a way to get it without facing any bosses.
• First, reach the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace in Scadu Altus.
• From here, move northeast until you reach a hidden cave as shown in the image below.

• Upon entering the cave, move straight, take a right, and then a left to the Rauh base.
• Once you reach this location, follow along the canyon and you will notice the stele near the Temple Town Ruins.
• There aren’t any bosses along the path, so you can get it right after reaching Scadu Altus.

Southern Shore Location

• This Map Fragment can also be collected very early in the game, provided you are ready for a really long journey.
• First, you need to cross the Ellac Bridge and move south.
• As you move south, take a left from the diversion as shown in the image below.

• From the diversion, hug the left wall and keep moving until you see an area with a giant crab sitting in the middle of a pool of water.
• Ignore the crab, and move southwest to enter a cave.
• Move up and you will soon notice a Site of Grace.
• From the Site of Grace, move straight and you will find a small platforming section.
• Cross the section and keep moving south to reach the Ellac River Downstream Site of Grace.
• Hit the Site of Grace once again and follow the southwards direction.

• If you keep moving south, you will eventually reach the Cerulean Coast.
• Upon reaching this location, you will notice the stele to the northwest of the Cerulean Coast Site of Grace.
• Just be wary of the Dragon on your way to the Map Fragment. You can ignore it if you do not want to fight it.

Abyssal Woods Location

• This is the final area that you come across as far as the Map is concerned in Shadow of the Erdtree.
• First, you need to make your way to the Shadow Keep.
• You need to defeat the Golden Hippopotamus boss right at the entrance of Shadow Keep.
• After that, you need to find a well-hidden Stone Coffin and get inside it.
• The Stone Coffin can be a bit difficult to find, so here is how you can get to it.
• From the Main Gate Plaza Site of Grace, take a left and keep moving straight.
• You will come across a bunch of stairs that are filled with enemies.
• Run past all of them and at the end of the final set of stairs, take a right to enter a room.

• Inside the room, there are two knights that you can skip and run past.
• After exiting from the door on the other side you will come across a bridge.
• Make your way to the end of the bridge and you will notice a ladder.
• Get down the ladder, and walk behind the waterfall for another ladder.

• Get down and you will enter a room with a canvas that gives you the “Domain of Dragons” painting upon interacting.
• On the right-hand side of the painting, there is an illusionary wall that will reveal a passage behind upon hitting.
• Take the hidden passage, and then a left.
• You will find the coffin waiting for you to get in.

• Hit the coffin and it will teleport you to the Castle Watering Hole.
• Now you need to make your way to the Darklight Catacombs.
• Here is how you can reach the location.
• From the Castle Watering Hole Site of Grace, move south until you reach Recluses’ River Upstream Site of Grace.
• From here, cross the platforming section and keep moving forward until you reach Recluses’ River Downstream Site of Grace.

• From this Site of Grace, take a right, and then a left and keep moving forward.
• Be wary as there are a number of fly-like creatures that will try to jump on you.
• Additionally, the entire route is like a series of ledges to drop from.
• If you make the wrong drop, you will die.
• You will eventually reach the end of the road and drop down into a dark forest.

• If you move straight, you will notice two white flickering lights in the distance.
• This is the entrance to the Darklight Catacombs.

• At the end of the Darklight Catacombs, you will fight Jori, Elder Inquisitor.
• Defeat that boss, you will have reached the Abyssal Woods.
• Upon reaching Abyssal Woods, take a left and keep moving straight.
• You will soon notice the stele with the Map Fragment right outside an Abandoned Church.

You cannot use Torrent inside the Abyssal Woods, so you will have to run to the location.
