Looking for all the Scadutree Fragments in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree? Scadutree Fragments are among the most important items you can find in Shadow Of The Erdtree, as they can be used to permanently increase the damage you deal and decrease the damage you take while playing the Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC.

Some Scadutree Fragments are easily found, because they're right next to Miquella's Crosses and Sites Of Grace. But others are far further afield and require some serious exploration to discover. Without any Scadutree Fragments to your name, you'll find that even the simplest of enemies in the Elden Ring DLC can pose quite the challenge. It's well worth scouring the land for all the Scadutree Fragments in the vicinity before delving into the nearby legacy dungeons.

In this guide, we've detailed all 50 Scadutree Fragment locations in Shadow Of The Erdtree, so you can quickly reach the maximum Scadutree Blessing level of 20. We've also put together a handy map of all the Scadutree Fragments below, so you can take in all the locations at a glance.

A full map of the Shadow Realm in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree, with all 50 Scadutree Fragment locations annotated in different colours. Lines are drawn between different Scadutree Fragments to show the optimum path to reach each Scadutree Fragment, and the paths are colour-coded yellow if they avoid bosses, blue if they require only miniboss kills, and red if they require main boss kills to reach.

Consult this video walkthrough for some extra help finding all 50 Scadutree Fragment locations.Watch on YouTube

Generally, Scadutree Fragments can be found in four ways:

  1. By looting them at Crosses Of Miquella.
  2. By looting them from the bases of Marika statues.
  3. By killing Hippopotamus mini-bosses.
  4. By killing Pot Shadow Undead enemies before they disappear.

Most Scadutree Fragments are simply picked up as loot from the ground, but a couple of enemy types will also drop them on death. There are five Hippopotamus bosses (or minibosses) in the Land Of Shadow, and each one will drop 1-2 Scadutree Fragments on death. There are also some Pot Shadow undead enemies holding large pots above their heads which will drop a Scadutree Fragment on death. But you need to be quick to kill these enemies, because after a few seconds they'll disappear (much like Scarabs in base Elden Ring).

Below, we'll walk you through how to find each of the Scadutree Fragment locations laid out in the above map, so you can pick them up and level up your Scadutree Blessing as quickly as possible.

Scadutree Fragment locations in Gravesite Plain

#1: Three-Path Cross

The first Scadutree Fragment is in plain sight, a short ride from where you begin the DLC. Head north from the Gravesite Plain Site Of Grace, and where the two large roads intersect you'll find the Three-Path Cross Site Of Grace, so named for the nearby Miquella's Cross. Next to the Cross is the Scadutree Fragment.

#2: Northeast of Scorched Ruins (Pot Shadow)

Scadutree Fragment #2 is dropped by a Pot Shadow enemy in a graveyard northeast of the Scorched Ruins in the centre of the Gravesite Plain. The graveyard abuts the cliff wall on the eastern edge of the Plain, and it's fairly easy to spot. If the Pot Shadow disappears before you kill it, then reload the area and try again until it drops the Scadutree Fragment.

#3-4: Church Of Consolation (x2)

Follow the main path south through the Gravesite Plain, and a short distance after the Scorched Ruins it will curve left. At the very end of the road is the Church Of Consolation, guarded by a hammer-wielding Messmer Knight. At the base of the statue in this church, you can pick up 2 Scadutree Fragments (both part of the same loot pickup).

#5: Main Gate Cross outside Belurat

Scadutree Fragment #5 can be picked up at the Main Gate Cross Site Of Grace. This Grace (and its Cross) is clearly visible as you take the west path up the stairs towards Belurat from the Three-Path Cross where you picked up the first Scadutree Fragment.

#6: West of Prospect Town (Pot Shadow)

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

An easy to miss Scadutree Fragment, this one. From the Main Gate Cross Site of Grace outside Belurat, head south and follow the path atop the cliff to get to Cliffroad Terminus. From there, Prospect Town is right in front of you, but you should head around the right-hand side until you reach a graveyard on a hill overlooking the town. There you'll find another Pot Shadow who drops a Scadutree Fragment on death.

#7: Outside Castle Ensis

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #7 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

The seventh Scadutree Fragment in Gravesite Plains is located in the encampment between the Greatbridge and Castle Ensis. From the Three-Path Cross, head northeast across the bridge (mind the ballista at the end!), and you'll see the Scadutree Fragment at the base of a statue on the right-hand side of the path as you enter the encampment.

#8: Pillar Path Cross

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

Scadutree Fragment #8 is located next to the Pillar Path Cross, which is also where you meet Thiollier for the first time. To reach this Cross, take the east path up the hill from the Castle Front Site Of Grace in front of Castle Ensis. Then turn off the path to the left just after the point where the three guards are camping, and at the end of this secondary path is the Pillar Path Cross and the 8th Scadutree Fragment.

Scadutree Fragment locations in Belurat

#9: Belurat Cross

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

There's a single Miquella's Cross inside Belurat, Tower Settlement. To get there, start at the Small Private Altar Grace, then head up both sets of stairs (past the Hornsent Knight) and turn right. Follow this path and turn right at the top of the waterfall. Ascend the ladder, go up the stairs, then turn left and head straight on. Just before the doorway guarded by tiny Spider Scorpions, turn right and jump over the ruins on the floor. Follow this path and you'll reach a room with the Miquella's Cross and Scadutree Fragment #9.

Castle Ensis Scadutree Fragment locations

#10: Castle Ensis Checkpoint

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

The single Scadutree Fragment located inside Castle Ensis is hard to miss. It's right next to the Castle Ensis Checkpoint Site Of Grace, which is signposted by another Miquella's Cross. It's on the main path through Castle Ensis, just after you use the wheel to open the gate, so you really can't miss it.

Scadutree Fragment locations in Cerulean Coast

#11: Cerulean Coast Cross

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

Scadutree Fragment #11 is found next to the Cross by the Cerulean Coast Cross Site Of Grace, right on the south coast. If you're not sure how to reach this region, check out our guide on how to get to the Cerulean Coast. Once you're there, you pretty much just need to head straight south, past the watery areas, and follow the path as it curves left along the coast. You'll soon see the location of this Scadutree Fragment at the end of the path.

#12: North of Cerulean Coast West

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

Starting at the Cerulean Coast West Site Of Grace, take the north path just past the giant piece of ruin nearby. Take a left turn just past the Demi-Human Swordsman, and just round the corner you'll see a small cave entrance on the right-hand side. Inside is a Demi-Human Chief guarding the 12th Scadutree Fragment.

Scadutree Fragment locations in Charo's Hidden Grave

#13: Western Lake (Hippo)

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

The hard part here is just figuring out how to reach Charo's Hidden Grave in the first place. Once you're there, hug the left-hand side of the region and keep riding until you see a big Miranda Flower. Jump up onto the ledge behind it, and ahead you should see a small lake guarded by a Hippopotamus enemy. Kill the Hippo and it will reward you with a Scadutree Fragment.

Scadutree Fragment locations in Jagged Peak

#14: End of Rolling Boulder path

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #14 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

There's a single Scadutree Fragment in the Jagged Peak region, and it lies along the path from the Foot Of The Jagged Peak and the Jagged Peak Mountainside Sites Of Grace. Specifically, beyond the Spiritsprings past Igon, when you get to the path with the endless rolling boulders that you need to avoid, the Scadutree Fragment is at the base of the cliff below where the boulders first spawn.

Scadutree Fragment locations in Stone Coffin Fissure

#15: Fissure Cross

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

There's one Scadutree Fragment inside the underground Stone Coffin Fissure sub-region. Consult our guide on how to get to the Stone Coffin Fissure for more details. Once you're there, follow the main path until you reach the Fissure Cross Site Of Grace; the Scadutree Fragment is right next to the Grace.

Scadutree Fragment locations in Scadu Altus

#16: Highroad Cross

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #16 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

Scadu Altus has the highest density of Scadutree Fragments in Elden Ring. The first is impossible to miss - it's next to the Highroad Cross just beyond Castle Ensis, where you meet Leda and the Hornsent once again.

#17: Highroad encampment

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #17 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

Scadutree Fragment #17 is found north of Highroad Cross, at the very start of the encampment. Follow the main road north, and the Scadutree Fragment can be looted beneath a statue a few steps into the camp.

#18-19: Church Of The Crusade (x2)

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #18-19 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

To the northwest of the Highroad Cross Site Of Grace, on top of a hill, you'll see the Church Of The Crusade. Inside you'll find another 2 Scadutree Fragments at the base of the statue, though you'll also be invaded by Fire Knight Queelign when you enter the Chuch, so be prepared for an NPC fight.

#20: Camp west of Moorth Ruins

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #20 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

Directly east of the Highroad Cross Site Of Grace, down the cliff, there's a small Messmer soldier camp by the road. The 20th Scadutree Fragment can be picked up at the foot of a statue in the centre of this small camp.

#21: Moorth Ruins Cross

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #21 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

Scadutree Fragment #21 is right next to the Moorth Ruins Cross Site Of Grace, just a few steps from the previous Fragment. It's on the northwest side of Moorth Ruins, and you'll also see Dryleaf Dane waiting by the Cross.

#22: North of Moorth Ruins

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #22 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

To get the next Scadutree Fragment in this area, head to the small body of water to the north of Moorth Ruins. On the north side where the lake meets the wall, you'll see a cave mouth with a statue of Marika in front of it. At the base of the statue is the Scadutree Fragment. Incidentally, you can also follow this cave path to reach the lower section of the Rauh Ancient Ruins region.

#23: Southeast Moorth Ruins (Pot Shadow)

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #23 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

Scadutree Fragment #23 is also found on the outskirts of Moorth Ruins. Circle around to the southeast side and you'll see a Pot Shadow enemy on a ledge looking over the ruins. Be careful, because this seemingly helpless enemy is watched over by a Curseblade which jumps down to attack you. Dispatch it, then loot the Scadutree Fragment from the dead Pot Shadow.

#24: Scaduview Cross

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #24 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

This Scadutree Fragment is found next to Scaduview Cross, which overlooks the Fort Of Reprimand on the southernmost edge of the Scadu Altus. To get up there, follow the main road south past where the Ghostflame Dragon fights the Messmer soldiers, and turn left. There's a Spiritspring by the edge of the cliff, but it's sealed until you break the associated stones nearby. Those stones can be found just past the Spiritspring, around the corner of the cliff edge guarded by bats. Jump up to the top using the Spiritspring, and follow the path to the Cross to get the next Scadutree Fragment.

#25: Waterfall Base

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #25 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

The next three Scadutree Fragments are not obtainable until you've used the hidden Shadow Keep path to reach the Castle Watering Hole Site Of Grace. We detail this path as part of our guide on how to get to the Abyssal Woods. Head to the south of the lake for the Recluses' River Upstream Grace, and then make your way down the path to the base of the waterfall and loot the Scadutree Fragment from the empty stone coffin.

#26: Recluses' River lake (First Hippo)

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #26 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

Again following on from the Castle Watering Hole Grace, head all the way south, and just beyond the Recluses' River Downstream Grace you can use the ledges on the cliffside to make your way down to the lake below. There should be a Hippopotamus right in front of you once you're down there who will drop a Scadutree Fragment.

#27: Recluses' River lake (Second Hippo)

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

Surprise! There are actually two Hippopotamus enemies in the lake I outlined above. So kill the other one while you're down here for a second Scadutree Fragment, wrapping up all the Fragments available within the Scadu Altus.

Scadutree Fragment locations in Rauh Ancient Ruins

#28: Rauh Ancient Ruins Cross

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #28 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

Scadutree Fragment #28 is in the upper region of the Rauh Ancient Ruins, accessible only via the bridge from Shadow Keep. From there, take the righthand path and enter the ruins on your right towards the end of the path. Make your way down the ruins and you'll emerge with a Miquella's Cross right in front of you (defended by a Crucible Knight, oh joy), where the Scadutree Fragment can also be looted.

#29: Ruins north of Cross (Pot Shadow)

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

Back in the ruins that brought you to the Miquella's Cross, go past the first Spiritspring on the lowest level, and use the second Spiritspring to jump up to the top. In front of you there should be a Pot Shadow to kill for another Scadutree Fragment.

#30: South of Viaduct Minor Tower (Hippo)

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

Scadutree Fragment #30 is obtained by defeating another Hippopotamus. To reach this one's location, turn left when you exit the Viaduct Minor Tower, and you'll see an elevator shaft in the ground a little way along the path. Pull the lever to access the elevator, then ride it down to the bottom and exit straight out down the stairs to fight the Hippo.

#31: Rauh Ancient Ruins, West (Pot Shadow)

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #31 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

To reach Scadutree Fragment #31, cross the bridge from the Miquella's Cross and head past the Furnace Golem (or kill it, I'm not the boss of you) to reach the Rauh Ancient Ruins, West Site Of Grace. Make your way through the ruins in front of this Grace, and at the end of the large pillared room at the top of the stairs is a statue, at the base of which lies a Scadutree Fragment.

#32: Temple Town Ruins

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.
Scadutree Fragment #32 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

This Scadutree Fragment is the only Rauh-based Fragment that is in the lower subregion rather than the upper one. As such, you need to reach it by following the cave path in Scadu Altus starting from the location of Fragment #22. Once you've reached the Ancient Ruins Base Site Of Grace, head southwest until you reach the Temple Town Ruins, then use the hole in the wall on the south side. Parkour up to the ledge in front of you, then drop down to take the Scadutree Fragment on the corpse there.

Scadutree Fragment locations in Shadow Keep

#33-34: Golden Hippopotamus (x2)

The first two Scadutree Fragments available in the massive legacy dungeon that is the Shadow Keep are dropped by the Golden Hippopotamus boss in the main plaza, just beyond the entrance elevator.

#35: Storehouse, Fourth Floor Cross

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

The next Scadutree Fragment is next to the Fourth Floor Scross in the Specimen Storehouse, but you can only get there by descending from above rather than ascending from below. To get above, you need to use the path from the Church District to the east of the main part of Shadow Keep, and then take the elevator all the way up. A path along the outside of the Shadow Keep's walls will lead you down to this Scadutree Fragment.

#36: Sunken Chapel Statue

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

Scadutree Fragment #36 is located atop a statue in the Sunken Chapel, which is in the Church District of Shadow Keep. To reach the Church District, you need to enter via the north path from the Church District Highroad (and if you don't know how to get there, drop down the hole in Moorth Ruins and follow the path through Bonny Village).

Once inside the Church District, jump across the rooftops to reach the Sunken Chapel, and jump onto the statue's arm to loot the Scadutree Fragment.

#37: Outside Dark Chamber

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

This Scadutree Fragment is impossible to miss. As you open the door to the Dark Chamber of the Shadow Keep where you fight the main boss, the Scadutree Fragment is right in front of you.

#38: Back Gate Marika Statue

Two screenshots from Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree. Left: the player approaches a Scadutree Fragment. Right: the location of that Scadutree Fragment on the map.

To reach this Scadutree Fragment, you need to ascend to the Loft of the Specimen Storehouse. Work your way to the ledge on the north side, then take two elevators down to reach the Shadow Keep, Back Gate Site Of Grace. At the end of the room next to this Grace is a Marika statue with the Scadutree Fragment at its base.

Scadutree Fragment locations in Scaduview

#39-43: Scadutree Chalice (x5)

Scadutree Fragment #39-43 | Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

If you can get to the Scadutree Chalice in Sacduview, you can get a whopping 5 Scadutree Fragments. To get there, start at the Shadow Keep, Back Gate Site Of Grace (follow the above instructions on how to get there), then exit outside and defeat Commander Gaius. Then follow the path west into Scaduview itself. Head north, just past the gigantic monument, and you'll find the 5 Scadutree Fragments just in front of the Scadutree Chalice.

From the Forsaken Graveyard, the first Site Of Grace in the Abyssal Woods, follow the path directly south, hugging the left wall as you go. You'll need to sneak past an Untouchable or two to get there, but you'll soon see the Church Ruins in the southeast corner of the region. Inside you can loot 2 Scadutree Fragments at the base of the statue.

#46: North of Abyssal Woods Grace

From the Woodland Trail Site Of Grace, head west until you reach the Abyssal Woods Grace. After that, follow the path north and you'll find Scadutree Fragment #46 on a cross-legged corpse at the base of a tree.

#47: Spiral Rise Cross

The Spiral Rise Cross is impossible to miss in Enir-Ilim, as it's along the main path to the final boss. Once you get there, you can loot the Scadutree Fragment from next to the Cross.

#48: Belurat Statue Base

This Scadutree Fragment is technically in Belurat, but to avoid confusion I'm putting it in the Enir-Ilim section because you can only access it from Enir-Ilim. Just before the Spiral Rise Cross Site of Grace, turn right at the position of the kneeling Hornsent Priest, and go down the staircase on the right-hand side. At the bottom, jump off the broken ledge and onto the staircase below. Go to the far side of the small circular room and drop onto the ledge below, then follow the ledges all the way (including a scary jump onto a windowsill) until you drop into an area of Belurat with a tall draped statue. At the base of the statue is Scadutree Fragment #48.

#49: Altar Room

From the Spiral Rise Cross Site Of Grace, head up the stairs and onto the rooftops. Once you're past the Gravebirds, head up the stairs and ascend to the top of the tower. Once at the top, head inside the tower and you'll find the Scadutree Fragment in front of a small altar.

#50: Cleansing Chamber Anteroom

The 50th and final Scadutree Fragment in the game is thankfully very easy. It's right next to the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom Site Of Grace, so you can pick it up right before you face your penultimate boss fight in Shadow Of The Erdtree. Good timing for upgrading your character!

Scadutree Fragment upgrades levels

In Shadow Of The Erdtree, you need to collect Scadutree Fragments in order to upgrade your Scadutree Blessing. Each time your Scadutree Blessing increases, you deal more base damage and take less base damage while in the Land Of Shadow.

You can upgrade your Scadutree Blessing at any Site Of Grace in the Land Of Shadow, but the number of Scadutree Fragments you need increases with your Scadutree Blessing level. See the below table to understand how many Scadutree Fragments you need to reach each Scadutree Blessing level:

Level Scadutree Fragments Cumulative Damage Dealt Damage Taken
1 1 1 +10% 89%
2 2 3 +20% 79%
3 2 5 +25% 75%
4 2 7 +30% 72%
5 2 9 +35% 68%
6 2 11 +42% 63%
7 2 13 +50% 59%
8 2 15 +55% 56%
9 2 17 +60% 53%
10 3 20 +65% 51%
11 3 23 +75% 47%
12 3 26 +85% 43%
13 3 29 +87% 42%
14 3 32 +90% 41%
15 3 35 +92% 40%
16 3 38 +95% 39%
17 3 41 +97% 38%
18 3 44 +100% 37%
19 3 47 +102% 37%
20 3 50 +105% 36%

Unlike Golden Seeds in base Elden Ring, there aren't more Scadutree Fragments to collect than you actually need to reach the max Scadutree Blessing level. So if you want to reach level 20 and be as powerful as you can be, you really do need to hunt down all 50 Scadutree Fragments.

Best Scadutree Fragment path for avoiding bosses

A full map of the Shadow Realm in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree, with all 50 Scadutree Fragment locations annotated in different colours. Lines are drawn between different Scadutree Fragments to show the optimum path to reach each Scadutree Fragment, and the paths are colour-coded yellow if they avoid bosses, blue if they require only miniboss kills, and red if they require main boss kills to reach.

If you want to stock up on Scadutree Fragments before you start fighting the Shadow Realm's more dangerous enemies, there is an ideal path you can follow. This path will allow you to obtain 28 Scadutree Fragments (enough for Blessing Level 12) without facing a single boss or miniboss. Here's the path you'll need to follow:

  1. Staying in the Gravesite Plain, collect Scadutree Fragments #1, #2, #3-4, #5, #6, #7, #8, and #9, as well as #10 from Belurat and #11 from Castle Ensis.
  2. Use the Spiritspring below the Fort Of Reprimand to reach the Scadu Altus, and collect Scadutree Fragments #16, #17, #18-19, #20, #21, #22, #23, and #24.
  3. Follow the cave path north of the Moorth Ruins into the Rauh Base, and collect Scadutree Fragment #32.
  4. From the Castle Front, head down Ellac River into the Cerulean Coast, and collect Scadutree Fragments #11, #12, and #15 (once Miquella's Great Rune has broken).
  5. Use the path in eastern Scadu Altus to enter the Shadow Keep via the Church District, and collect Scadutree Fragments #35, #36, #37, and #38.
  6. Use the secret passage in the Shadow Keep to reach the Ruins Of Unte, then travel south into Recluses' River and collect Scadutree Fragment #25.

This path allows you to access over half of all Scadutree Fragments in the DLC. After this, you can continue to the end of Recluses' River to collect the two Hippo Scadutree Fragments, then scour the Abyssal Woods, Jagged Peak, Charo's Hidden Grave, Scaduview, Rauh Ancient Ruins, and Enir-Ilim for all the remaining Scadutree Fragments. Oh, and kill the Golden Hippopotamus too. Don't forget about that big bastard.

That brings this guide on all the Scadutree Fragment locations to an end; hopefully you had no trouble finding all 50 Fragments before the final boss! If you're struggling to reach the later areas of Shadow Of The Erdtree, leveling up your Scadutree Blessing using these Fragments will go a long way to improving your chances.
