The Scadutree Fragment locations in Shadow of the Erdtree are probably the most important thing you can find in all of Elden Ring, as these special shards of the bizarro Erdtree have become the new means by which players level up, redeeming them at Sites of Grace for a special blessing.

And what a blessing it is, as Scadutree Fragments, when found, can grant the player a permanent buff to both their damage and defense when specifically in the confines of the Elden Ring DLC. This means that Scadutree Fragments have practically become the new levelling system for Shadow of the Erdtree, or at least have become as important as your level itself. Players will really struggle to beat the expansion if they aren't finding Fragment locations around the map - and we have every single one listed below and how to find them, handily broken up into the game's various regions for you. There's 50 in total - which equates to a Scadutree Blessing of +20 - and these things should be a high priority at all points.

There's a total of 50 Scadutree Fragments spread around the Realm of Shadow in Shadow of the Erdtree, divided across the different regions. Some of them are found on the bodies of defeated enemies (such as Minibosses), some are found on the various Shadow of the Erdtree Miquella's Crosses spread around the region, and others are waiting in key areas as a reward for good exploration.

Some areas even reward you with multiple fragments in a single location, such as the Chalice to the north of the map. With that in mind, we've covered all their locations below, split into the different areas for your convenience. If you need help reaching any of these locations, our guide on how to reach all Shadow of the Erdtree areas and locations will help you there.

All Scadutree Fragment locations in Gravesite Plain

Gravesite Plain is the first area you'll encounter in Shadow of the Erdtree, and it contains 13 Scadutree Fragment locations, including Belurat, Tower Settlement, and Castle Ensis. Note that the fragments marked 10-13 aren't accessible until towards the end of the game, as you return to the starting area in Enir-Ilim.

  1. Follow the road to the east and you'll find two Scadutree Fragments in the Church of Consolation, guarded by a knight with a hammer and shield.
  2. East of the Scorched Ruins is a pot-holding shadow enemy who will drop one fragment the first time you kill them. They are surrounded by other shadow enemies in a graveyard, including two dogs.
  3. South-west of the Cliffroad Terminus site of grace is another shadow enemy with a pot and one Scadutree Fragment, in a pack of other shadow enemies.
  4. At the Three-Path Cross site of grace.
  5. At the Main Gate Cross site of grace.
  6. Before you enter the room with two big scorpions ready to pounce - you'll know when you're there because lots of smaller scorpions will emerge as you approach - take a right turn, jump over some rubble, and you'll find another Scadutree Fragment in a room with one of Miquella's Crosses.
  7. Next to the Castle Front site of grace near Castle Ensis, by a statue of Marika.
  8. Beside the Pillar Path Cross site of grace.
  9. At the Castle Ensis Checkpoint site of grace.
  10. At the Spiral Rise site of grace (inaccessible until you enter Enir-Ilim).
  11. Take a right turn at the kneeling knight near the Spiral Rise site of grace and head down the stairs. Jump off the ledge, then drop out of the small room with the Inquisitor Ashes in on the opposite side to land on another path. Follow the ledge until you can jump into Belurat, where you'll find a Scadutree Fragment in front of a statue.
  12. Defeat the grave birds and climb the stairs to find another fragment near an altar.
  13. At the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom site of grace.

All Scadutree Fragment locations in Scadu Altus

Once you get past Rellana and Castle Ensis - or if you take the long way around - you'll reach Scadu Altus. This is the biggest area in Shadow of the Erdtree and contains 16 Scadutree Fragment locations, including Shadow Keep.

  1. At the Highroad Cross site of grace, immediately as you exit Castle Ensis after beating Rellana.
  2. There are two Scadutree Fragments in the Church of the Crusade, but you must defeat Fire Knight Queelign first.
  3. Next to a statue of Marika at the foot of the long road up to Shadow Keep.
  4. Next to a statue of Marika west of the Moorth Ruins site of grace.
  5. At the Moorth Ruins site of grace, by the Miquella's Cross.
  6. On the north-eastern side of Moorth Ruins, held by a pot-holding shadow undead. Watch out as one of those rapid, disc-wielding foes will ambush you as you approach.
  7. At the Scaduview site of grace.
  8. North of Moorth Ruins at the top of a pond with a cave entrance.
  9. Defeat the Golden Hippopotamus boss in the entrance to Shadow Keep to receive two Scadutree Fragments.
  10. At the Specimen Storehouse, Fourth Floor site of grace.
  11. Behind a Fire Knight on the eighth floor of the Specimen Storehouse.
  12. On top of a statue of Marika in the church district. This can be acquired either before or after draining the water.
  13. At the Shadow Keep, Back Gate site of grace.
  14. Defeat Commander Gaius then head to the Scadutree Chalice to get five Scadutree Fragments.
  15. At the foot of the waterfall south of the Ruins of Unte.
  16. You'll receive one Scadutree Fragment for each of the Lesser Golden Hippopotamus bosses killed.

  3. In a cave guarded by a Demi-Human Chief.
  4. Dropped by the Undead Hippo in Charon's Hidden Grave.

All Scadutree Fragment locations in Jagged Peak

There is just one fragment in Jagged Peak, as this area isn't quite as open-ended as some of the others.

  1. After you jump up two spiritsprings on Torrent, rocks will start falling around you. There's a Scadutree Fragment on a corpse at the top of the hill, where the rocks are spawning.

All Scadutree Fragment locations in Abyssal Woods

The Shadow of the Erdtree Abyssal Woods is an ominous region with just two Scadutree Fragments.

  1. In front of the altar in the Abandoned Church are two Scadutree Fragments.
  2. North of the Abyssal Woods site of grace, on a corpse sat by a tree.

All Scadutree Fragment locations in Rauh Ancient Ruins

Finally, the Rauh Ancient Ruins - the paradisiacal area in Shadow of the Erdtree - has five fragment locations to find.

  1. Dropped by the Lesser Golden Hippopotamus, to the left after you leave the Viaduct Minor Tower.
  2. From the Ancient Ruins Base site of grace, go south-west until you reach the Temple Town Ruins and you'll find the fragment on a corpse hanging off the side.
  3. Dropped by a shadow fellow carrying a pot in the area with the scorpions.
  4. At the Rauh Ancient Ruins, East site of grace.
  5. Cross the bridge by the Rauh Ancient Ruins, West site of grace, go past the Furnace Golem, and climb the stairs in the ruins to find a fragment by the altar.

Acquiring all 50 Scadutree Fragments will allow you to level up your Scadutree Blessing to 20, which means you deal 2.05x damage and receive 0.487x. 

You can acquire the first ten in Gravesite Plain without defeating a single boss, so if you're struggling, jump on Torrent and ride to those locations to level up your Scadutree Blessing to five right from the get-go.
