Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is finally here, and as expected, it’s no piece of cake. Enemies and bosses have ruthless combos and can easily kill you in a few hits, but luckily for you, there’s a system in place to help you survive. The more Scadutree Fragments you collect, the stronger you are versus the Land of Shadow’s foes.
All 50 Scadutree Fragments in Elden Ring DLC
There are 50 Scadutree Fragments in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, which takes your Scadutree Blessing up to a maximum of level 20.
Gravesite Plain
Main Gate Cross – 1 Scadutree Fragment
If you head straight to the first Legacy Dungeon, this will be the first Scadutree Fragment you find. Head through the cave entrance by the Main Gate Cross Site of Grace, and shortly down the path, you’ll find a Miquella’s Cross with another Site of Grace and a Scadutree Fragment. There’s also a merchant here, Moore, who sells a few useful items. Ahead is the entrance to Belurat, Tower Settlement.
Prospect Town pot-bearer – 1 Scadutree Fragment
From the Main Gate Cross, turn around and follow the path around the cliff face. You emerge in a new area with a small ruined town—Prospect Town. At the back of this area, there’s a shadowy humanoid enemy carrying a pot. Kill it and it drops a Scadutree Fragment.
Gravesite Plain pot-bearer – 1 Scadutree Fragment
Back in Gravesite Plain, there’s another shadowy pot-bearer directly east of the Scorched Ruins Site of Grace. It’s in a small graveyard with a few other shadow enemies. Kill the pot-bearer for another Scadutree Fragment.
Church of Consolation – 1 Scadutree Fragment
Follow the curved path by the southern cliff edge of Gravesite Plain. You can get here immediately after starting the expansion. At the end of the path, there’s a ruined church—the Church of Consolation. There’s a Scadutree Fragment in front of the statue at the back.
Pillar Path Cross – 1 Scadutree Fragment
After heading over Ellac Greatbridge, instead of proceeding forward to Castle Ensis, veer to the right and up the hill. This is how you get to the Suppressing Pillar. By the cliff edge overlooking Jagged Peak, there’s a Miquella’s Cross, Site of Grace, and Scadutree Fragment.
Castle Front – 1 Scadutree Fragment
At the end of Ellac Greatbridge, along the path leading to Castle Ensis, there’s a headless Queen Marika statue with a Scadutree Fragment in front.
Castle Ensis Checkpoint – 1 Scadutree Fragment
Halfway through Castle Ensis, there’s a safe spot with a Miquella’s Cross, Site of Grace, and Scadutree Fragment. It’s along the main route if you’re progressing through Castle Ensis, so it’s hard to miss.
Belurat, Tower Settlement
Belurat Cross – 1 Scadutree Fragment
From the Belurat, Tower Settlement Site of Grace, head up the shortcut elevator then turn left toward the large, cylindrical room full of scorpions. Instead of heading into the room, turn right and jump over the ruins. You’ll find a door leading to an interior section with another Miquella’s Cross and a Scadutree Fragment.
Watch out—a bug enemy pounces on you from the right and tries to grab you, so quickly roll through the doorway on the way in.
Scadu Altus
Highroad Cross – 1 Scadutree Fragment
After beating Rellana, Twinned Moon Knight at the end of Castle Ensis, you emerge in a new zone: Scadu Altus. There’s a Miquella’s Cross straight ahead, and you encounter Needle Knight Leda again by the Site of Grace. There’s a Scadutree Fragment on the ground.
Moorth Ruins Cross – 1 Scadutree Fragment
Moorth Ruins is a fairly expansive ruin in the middle of Scadu Altus, and it hides an interesting secret. Keep your eye out for holes in the ground. While you’re here, make sure to get the Site of Grace and Scadutree Fragment; they’re by the Miquella’s Cross.
Moorth Ruins camp – 1 Scadutree Fragment
There’s a Scadutree Fragment at the base of a Queen Marika statue in an encampment west of Moorth Ruins. There are a few patrolling knights on horseback, so either run in and grab the Fragment, or prepare for a fight.
Moorth Ruins pot-bearer – 1 Scadutree Fragment
In Moorth Ruins, to the right of the big hole in the ground, there’s another pot-bearer. Kill it for a Scadutree Fragment.
Moorth Ruins statue – 1 Scadutree Fragment
North of Moorth Ruins, there’s a small, shallow lake in front of the cliff edge with a cave entrance in the middle. The cave entrance is somewhat concealed by a headless Queen Marika Statue. In front of the statue, there’s a Scadutree Fragment. Make sure to continue onward through this cave; it leads to a whole new area of the map.
South Scadu Altus (Sealed Spirit Spring) – 1 Scadutree Fragment
At the south edge of Scadu Altus, there’s a plateau that’s only accessible with a Spirit Spring. There’s a Sealed Spirit Spring at the base of the plateau, so follow the cliff edge round to the east until you find the breakable rock pile. Smash it, jump up the Spirit Spring, then grab the Scadutree Fragment by the Miquella’s Cross at the edge of the plateau.
Church of the Crusade – 2 Scadutree Fragments
After leaving Castle Ensis, from the Highroad Cross Site of Grace, head left and up the hill. There’s a church at the top—Church of the Crusade. At the back, there’s a Scadutree Fragment, but you’ll be invaded by an NPC when you enter the church. Seems familiar. I didn’t find the NPC too hard to beat, so use whatever you have and you should be fine.
Highroad camp – 1 Scadutree Fragment
There’s an encampment outside Shadow Keep with a patrolling Furnace Golem, and on the right-hand side of the road at the location indicated on the map above, there’s a Scadutree Fragment.
Recluses’ River waterfall base – 1 Scadutree Fragment
You can only reach this area from Shadow Keep. From the Recluses’ River Downstream Site of Grace, drop down the tombstones until you reach the shallow river below. Head north up the river until you reach a junction, then head right. At the base of the waterfall, there’s a Scadutree Fragment on a stone pedestal. Just watch out for the giant flowers. It’s like Day of the Triffids down here.
Drop from Hippopotamuses (one each) – 2 Scadutree Fragments
Like the above Scadutree Fragment, you can only reach this area from Shadow Keep. From the Recluses’ River Downstream Site of Grace, drop down the tombstones until you reach the shallow water below, then head east toward the lake. There are two wandering Hippopotamuses here that each drop one Scadutree Fragment. You can fight them on horseback, so pull one at a time and they’ll be easy.
Shadow Keep
Drop from Golden Hippopotamus – 2 Scadutree Fragments
The Golden Hippopotamus is a mandatory boss fight guarding the entrance to Shadow Keep. It drops two Scadutree Fragments when killed, as well as the Aspect of the Crucible: Thorns spell. It’s a tough fight, so check out our guide on how to beat the Golden Hippopotamus in Elden Ring if you’re struggling.
Specimen Storehouse
Specimen Storehouse, 4th Floor – 1 Scadutree Fragment
Around the halfway point of Specimen Storehouse, you enter a safe room with a Site of Grace, Miquella’s Cross, and Scadutree Fragment. It’s along the main route and impossible to miss if you’re ascending Specimen Storehouse.
Shadow Keep, Messmer’s Dark Tower entrance – 1 Scadutree Fragment
There’s a Scadutree Fragment in the room at the end of the bridge leading to Messmer’s Tower. You can’t miss it if you’re heading to Messmer. If you’re not sure where this is, keep progressing through Specimen Storehouse.
Shadow Keep, Church District
Church (upper level) – 1 Scadutree Fragment
Progress through the Church District by jumping across rooftops and ruins until you get to a room at the back of the big church with a submerged, headless Queen Marika statue. If you continue onward, you’ll get to the lever that drains the water. Before you do, carefully jump to the statue and grab the Scadutree Fragment.
If you’ve already drained the water, head up the elevator on the right-hand side and proceed toward the back. You can still jump to the statue and grab the Scadutree Fragment, except the fall won’t be fatal if you miss.
If you haven’t found the Church District yet, explore the cave north of Moorth Ruins.
Shadow Keep, Back Gate – 1 Scadutree Fragment
Head through the tunnel at the north end of the Church District after draining the water. There’s a Queen Marika statue with a Scadutree Fragment in front. This Queen Marika statue hides a big secret that you need the O Mother gesture to solve.
Rauh Base
Temple Town Ruins – 1 Scadutree Fragment
In the Temple Town Ruins, by the shallow lake in Rauh Base, there’s a Scadutree Fragment on top of the ruined rectangular building in the center of town. Explore the ruins until you find a hole that you can enter to get inside, or an area where you can double jump to the upper section. There’s a Scadutree Fragment on a balcony overlooking the center of the rectangular building.
Ancient Ruins of Rauh
Rauh Ancient Ruins, East – 1 Scadutree Fragment
There’s a Site of Grace, Miquella’s Cross, and Scadutree Fragment in the open section of east Rauh Ancient Ruins. It’s hard to miss while progressing through the area.
If you aren’t sure how to get to Rauh Ancient Ruins, continue through Shadow Keep until you get to the Specimen Storehouse, then take the elevator down by the main room.
Rauh Ruins (interior) pot-bearer – 1 Scadutree Fragment
From the Rauh Ancient Ruins, East Site of Grace, head back inside the ruins and toward the Spirit Springs. Jump up the second Spirit Spring to reach the upper level, and there’s a pot-bearer that drops a Scadutree Fragment just ahead.
Rauh Ruins (interior) – 1 Scadutree Fragment
From the Rauh Ancient Ruins, West site of Grace, head inside the ruins and up the stairs, steps then go right. In the big room, by the base of a an altar with waxy candles, there’s a Scadutree Fragment. If you go up the steps and head towards the map pin above, it’s hard to miss.
Rauh Ruins Hippo – 1 Scadutree Fragment
From the Rauh Ancient Ruins, East Site of Grace, head back inside the ruin and up the first Spirit Spring. Go through the stone double door, and in the next room, there’s a square passage in the right-hand wall that leads to a sandy room with giant scorpions. Go through the passage, then exit the scorpion room and go left, then turn right, and you’ll be in an outdoor area with flowers. Jump off the edge and continue down until you reach a shallow lake with a Hippopotamus that drops a Scadutree Fragment.
Abyssal Woods
Church Ruins – 2 Scadutree Fragments
After entering the Abyssal Woods, head toward the southeasternmost point of the area until you get to the Church Ruins. There are lots of terrifying Frenzied Flame enemies on the way that’ll chase you indefinitely and kill you with Madness, so use stealth and make sure they don’t spot you. There’s a Scadutree Fragment in the church.
If you aren’t sure where this area is, check out our guide on how to get to the Abyssal Woods in Shadow of the Erdtree.
North Abyssal Woods – 1 Scadutree Fragment
From the Abyssal Woods Site of Grace, head directly north. There’s a Scadutree Fragment on a corpse in front of a tree.
Jagged Peak
Jagged Peak (mountainside) – 1 Scadutree Fragment
On the ascent up Jagged Peak, before you fight Ancient Dragon Sennesax, there’s a Scadutree Fragment on the ground by some rocks. It’s along the main route and tough to miss. If you haven’t been to this area yet, check out our guide on how to get to Jagged Peak in Shadow of the Erdtree.
Cerulean Coast
North Cerulean Coast – 1 Scadutree Fragment
From the Cerulean Coast Site of Grace, follow the cliff edge round to the west. Keep following the cliff until you’re going north. There’s a canyon entrance in the cliffside to the north concealing an alcove with a Scadutree Fragment. Be careful; you’ll be ambushed by a Demi-Human Chieftain when you try to grab the fragment.
Cerulean Coast Cross – 1 Scadutree Fragment
There’s a Scadutree Fragment by the Cerulean Coast Cross. You can get there by going directly south from the Cerulean Coast Site of Grace.
Stone Coffin Fissure Cross – 1 Scadutree Fragment
At the southernmost point of the map, on the Cerulean Coast, there’s an optional dungeon down a massive hole called Stone Coffin Fissure. I won’t spoil what’s at the bottom, but around the halfway point, there’s a Miquella’s Cross with a Scadutree Fragment next to it. It’s by a stunning view of an expansive cavern lined with Stone Coffins. You can’t miss it, so long as you’ve found Stone Coffin Fissure.
Charo’s Hidden Grave Hippo – 1 Scadutree Fragment
From the Charo’s Hidden Grave Site of Grace, head forward and past the like where the Ghostflame Dragon lands, then turn left. Continue onward and you’ll reach a shallow lake with another Hippopotamus. Kill the hippo to claim its Scadutree Fragment.
Enir-Ilim
Spiral Rise – 1 Scadutree Fragment
In the room containing the Spiral Rise Site of Grace, there’s a Miquella’s Cross with a Scadutree Fragment next to it. This one’s impossible to miss, since Enir-Ilim is almost entirely linear, and this Site of Grace is along the main route.
Spiral Rise Ascent – 1 Scadutree Fragment
From the Spiral Rise Site of Grace, proceed up the stairs and along the mandatory progression path. It’s almost entirely linear, so you can’t go wrong. After jumping out the window of the building with the Site of Grace, jump along the rooftops until you get to the next section through a broken stone railing.
On the left, there’s a building with a Revered Spirit Ash. On the right, there are stairs leading upward. Take those stairs up, then go through the circular building and take the next set of stairs up. At the top of these stairs, turn around and enter the hexagonal building. There’s a Scadutree Fragment here.
Cleansing Chamber Anteroom – 1 Scadutree Fragment
Inside the room with the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom Site of Grace, there’s a Scadutree Fragment by a stone altar. This is another one along the mandatory progression path in Enir-Ilim.
Belurat, Tower Settlement (upper level) – 1 Scadutree Fragment
From the Spiral Rise Site of Grace, turn around and go back down the steps, toward the kneeling channeler. On the left (if you’re facing down the steps), there’s another fairly hidden set of steps leading down. At the bottom, jump off the ledge and land on the steps below. Next, you need to make a series of risky jumps until you reach a windowsill you can land on. If you’re playing online, the way forward is clearly telegraphed by lots of player messages.
After landing on the windowsill, drop down into the room, and you’ll find you’re in a new area of Belurat. Continue onward and pick up the Scadutree Fragment at the base of the big statue, but beware—a giant scorpion ambushes you.
Scaduview
Foot of the Scadutree – 5 Scadutree Fragments
Beneath the arced black tower standing before the Scadutree, you’ll find a Vessel surrounded by knotted roots. In front of it are five Scadutree Fragments scattered on the ground. To reach this area, head through the Church District to the back of the Specimen Storehouse, then down the elevator on the outside scaffolding.
How do Scadutree Fragments work in Elden Ring DLC?
Scadutree Fragments are a new collectible item in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree you find scattered across the Land of Shadow, often near Miquella’s Crosses. After collecting one, rest at a Site of Grace, and with enough Scadutree Fragments, you can enhance your Scadutree Blessing. This is a new buff that permanently increases your damage and defense, but only in the expansion.
Upgrading your Scadutree Blessing costs an increasing number of Scadutree Fragments. It costs one for the first level, up to three per level at most.
We don’t have the raw numbers yet, but Scadutree Fragments go a long way toward increasing your power in Shadow of the Erdtree. Getting to Scadutree Blessing level two increased my AR by around 100, and at Scadutree Blessing level 15, I wiped the floor with the enemies in Belurat. If you’re struggling with a difficult section or boss, explore the map and collect more Scadutree Fragments. You’ll have a far easier time with a couple of extra blessing levels.
Scadutree Fragments work similarly to Revered Spirit Ash, which upgrades the damage and defense of your Spirit Summons and Spectral Steed instead.
