All map fragment locations in Elden Ring DLC

Shadow of the Erdtree map fragments help reveal the map of Elden Ring’s DLC. The expansion features a multitude of new regions and areas to explore, but it can be a little hard to explore if you can’t see your map.

There are a total of five map fragments to unlock in Shadow of the Erdtree: one each in Gravesite Plains, Scadu Altus, Southern Shores, Rauh Ruins, and Abyssal Woods. While some map fragment locations are fairly straightforward to find, others will put your exploration skills to the test.

In this Elden Ring guide, we’ll show you where to find all map fragments in Shadow of the Erdtree.

Shadow of the Erdtree map fragment locations map

As well as region-by-region location breakdowns, here is a DLC map fragment map to show all locations at a glance:

Gravesite Plains Map Fragment location

The Gravesite Plains map fragment can be found as soon as you start the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Head northeast from the Gravesite Plain Site of Grace to find the map fragment, but be careful as a Curseblade, a powerful new enemy wielding chakrams, is waiting for you to cross their path.

In order to grab the Scadu Altus map fragment you must first defeat Rellana, Twin Moon Knight in Castle Ensis. Afterwards, head north toward the Shadow Keep to find the Scadu Altus map fragment just before the encampment.

The Southern Shores map fragment take a bit of time to reach, but is accessible right from the beginning of the map if you know the route.

Our how to get to the Cerulean Coast explainer goes into the route in more detail, but at a glance, the steps are:

1. Start at the Castle Front Site of Grace and head southeast under the rock archway.

2. Go down the slope on your left and into the cave entrance on the left side of the water.

3. Follow the path through the cave and rest at the Ellac River Cave Site of Grace.

4. Exit the cave and go south downstream, jumping from rock formation to rock formation.

5. Make your way down the waterfall by carefully dropping to the ledges below you.

6. Follow the river south, but be careful of the Furnace Golem in your path. Either defeat it or run into the southwest opening that leads to the Cerulean Coast Site of Grace.

7. Continue south to the coast to find the Southern Shore Map Fragment, but again, be careful of a Ghostflame Dragon that will impede your path.

Rauh Ruins map fragment location

Similar to the Southern Shores, you’ll need to go around a few areas to reach the Rauh Ruins map fragment.

1. Start from the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace and head northeast past the lake and statue of Marika into the cave.

2. Proceed through the cave and head northwest to find another cave that leads to the Ancient Ruins Base Site of Grace.

3. Continue southwest to find the Rauh Ruins map fragment, but be careful of the two Golems lying in wait.

Abyssal Woods map fragment location

The Abyssal Woods map fragment requires you to do something a little different: complete the Darklight Catacombs.

In short, to reach the Darklight Catacombs, you’ll need to find the illusionary wall inside the Shadow Keep and ride the coffin taking you to the Ruins of Unte. Our full how to get to the Abyssal Woods guide can explain step-by-step, but in summary, once you’ve reached the Ruins of Unte, follow the waterfalls and drop down the headstone ledges until you reach a foggy graveyard with a few Rosus statues. Search along the northern wall to find the entrance to the Darklight Catacombs.

After completing the Darklight Catacombs, you’ll be spit out at the Forsaken Graveyard site of grace in the Abyssal Woods.

1. Follow the path south towards the Woodland Trail and don’t mind the warnings all over the place for now.
2. Continue down the path to the southeast where you’ll encounter Madding Hand, who you can either defeat or run past.
3. Keep going down the same path until you reach the Abyssal Woods map fragment.
