Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Map Fragment locations
Here's where to find every map fragment in Shadow of the Erdtree.
Finding all the map locations in Shadow of the Erdtree is an important task, as just like Elden Ring's base game, you begin your journey through the Shadow Realm with little more than a blank (or brown) slate on your map screen, requiring you to find its Map Fragments to help you get your bearings.
The good news is there are just five Map Fragments to locate in Shadow of the Erdtree, with one for each of its main areas. All five map fragments are found at the base of specific steles, easily recognisable as tall stone markers with golden writing glowing on them - and we can help you collect them all with our Shadow of the Erdtree Map locations walkthrough below.

Gravesite Plain Map location
Location: Go directly northeast from where you first enter the Shadow Realm. You'll find the Map Fragment just before you get to the Scorched Ruins, next to a stele on the road.
Scadu Altus Map location
Location: Follow the road northeast from the Site of Grace 'Highroad Cross', which is found shortly after entering Scadu Altus through Castle Ensis. You'll see the Map Fragment stele on the main road leading towards the Shadow Keep, just before the soldier encampment.
Alternatively, if you want to bypass Castle Ensis, you can get to Scadu Altus via the Spiritspring below the Fort of Reprimand in Gravesite Plain to reach the Scadu Altus Map Fragment without having to face any bosses.
Ancient Ruins of Rauh Map location
Location: From the Site of Grace 'Moorth Ruins' in Scadu Altus, ride northeast towards a small lake. There's a hidden cave near the cliffside, which leads you through a tunnel to Rauh Base. Then, if you follow the canyon along, you'll come across the Ancient Ruins of Rauh Map Fragment at the end of the valley just outside of the Temple Town Ruins. Just make sure you dodge the two giant trolls hurling ballista arrows at you on your way down.
Southern Shore Map location
Location: You can get to the Southern Shore map fragment early in your Shadow Realm journey without fighting any bosses if you're willing to go on a trek down south and get to the Cerulean Coast. First, cross the Ellac Greatbridge in Gravesite Plain, then head east when you get to the Site of Grace 'Castle Front'. Follow the valley down past the trolls, through the poison bogs near the cliff, and then down through the caves that lead you to the base of the Ellac River.
Keep following the river, using Torrent to jump between the rock cliffs, and you'll eventually come to the Cerulean Coast. Keep riding south, and you'll see the stele for the Map Fragment that covers the whole Southern Shore just before you get to the Site of Grace 'Cerulean Coast Cross'.
Abyssal Woods Map location
Location: The Abyssal Woods map fragment will probably be the last one you find, as you have to enter the Shadow Keep in Scadu Altus to reach it. You'll need to find the hidden stone coffin there (it's on the other side of an illusory wall where one of its collectible ErdTree Paintings are located) to transport you to the Site of Grace 'Castle Watering Hole'. You must then travel south through the Darklight Catacombs to reach the Abyssal Woods. Here, you'll find the Abyssal Woods Map Fragment just outside the Abandoned Church.
