Exploring the vast Realm of Shadow in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC can be daunting without a proper map. This guide will help players locate all five map fragments in Shadow of the Erdtree quickly and efficiently.

All Map Fragment Locations in Shadow of the Erdtree

Just like in the base game, players start their journey through the Realm of Shadow with a mostly blank map. Collecting map fragments is crucial for navigation and understanding the layout of this new area. Each fragment reveals a specific region and area, making exploration much easier.

Here are all the map fragment locations in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC:

Gravesite Plain Map Fragment

Head northeast from the Shadow Realm entrance. The fragment is located near a stele on the road just before reaching the Scorched Ruins.

Southern Shore Map Fragment

This fragment is in the southwest region known as the Cerulean Coast. To reach it:

• Head to Castlefront Site of Grace (near Castle Ensis)
• Head south past Messmer Soldiers and through poison fields
• Find a cave entrance behind a Giant Poison Plant

• Avoid the Furnace Golem and enter the Cerulean Coast
• Locate the fragment south of a Ghostflame Dragon ambush point

Scadu Altus Map Fragment

There are two ways to access this fragment:
