Where are the Elden Ring Scadutree Fragments locations? The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion introduces a new way to level up your character, prioritizing exploration over farming for Runes. The more Scadutree Fragments you collect, the stronger and more resilient your character becomes.
Seeking these fragments in Elden Ring will take time, patience, and a keen eye, and the same can be said for the Elden Ring Revered Spirit Ashes. Remember, you have other ways to improve your build if you’re struggling in the RPG game expansion. Make sure you find the best Elden Ring weapons in the base game to craft the finest Elden Ring builds for your chosen playstyle.
All Elden Ring Scadutree Fragment locations
There are 50 Elden Ring Scadutree Fragments in total, providing you with 20 buffs in total. It’s worth pointing out that a recent update to Elden Ring has changed the way the upgrades scale as you earn more buffs. Before the update, each buff provides a flat rate to your character, but now the buffs you receive early on are more powerful to make your overall experience easier.
The most reliable way to find Scadutree Fragments is to look near the six Miquella’s Crosses on the map. However, they can also be drops from some new Elden Ring bosses and first-time drops from some shadow people carrying glowing gigantic pots. Occasionally, these pots will also include other items, including Revered Spirit Ashes. While there are 50 Scadutree Fragments, you may notice we only have 42 pins. That’s because some fragment drops supply you with multiple fragments at once.
Reddit user Galdiuz2 has created an optimal route to collect every Scadutree Fragment. Use this route alongside our pinned maps to ensure you don’t miss any upgrades.
Here are all the costs for the Scadutree Fragment upgrades:
- Scadutree Blessing Level 1 – one fragment
- Scadutree Blessing Levels 2-8 – two fragments
- Scadutree Blessing Levels 9+ – three fragments
Below are all the locations for Elden Ring Scadutree Fragments:

Shadow Keep
- Shadow Keep entrance – defeat the Golden Hippopotamus to get two Scadutree Fragments.
- Shadow Keep, Back Gate – by the statue near the Site of Grace. To get to this area, you need to enter the keep via the Church District Entrance and into the Storehouse, Back Section you find by going up the elevator at the end of this watery area (if you find the switch, you’ve gone too far). At the top of the elevator, head up the ladder and out the window, before walking up to the next lift. Eventually, you’ll reach the rafters. Carefully make your way across and down one of the ladders at the end, and you’ll find a set of elevators leading to the back gate.

Storehouse, Fourth Floor – at Miquella’s Cross next to the Site of Grace. To get here, start at the Storehouse, First Floor Grace, and continue until you cross a wooden bridge with hooded imps at the end. Turn to the right and jump onto the statue’s legs. Run up it and jump off to the balcony ahead to find the Cross. - Storehouse, Seventh Floor – go downstairs to the sixth floor and run past the sages into the next room. Pull the lever at the other end to get the fixtures in the middle to shift into a path. Jump to the middle and climb this obstacle, leaping across to the statue’s foot, and reach the balcony at the other end. Go outside and up the stairs to the right to find a bridge with a red knight. Defeat the knight and open the double doors to find the Scadutree Fragment on the other side.

- Rauh Ancient Ruins, East – defeat the Golden Hippopotamus to the southeast inside the watery location on the map.
- Spiral Rise – at Miquella’s Cross next to the Site of Grace.
- Spiral Rise – climb the stairs about halfway, and you’ll see a broken bit of ledge near a window. Go outside, kill the mage, then turn right and slowly continue through the gauntlet of stone birds. Turn right, then climb the stairs and kill the mage in the next room. Ascend the stairs and duck into the room on your right to get the Scadutree Fragment.
- Cleansing Chamber Anteroom – next to the altar near the Site of Grace.
What are Elden Ring Scadutree Fragments?
Scadutree Fragments are the most important items in the open-world game‘s expansion. Initially, they won’t do anything upon picking them up, but you can redeem them to increase your Scadutree Blessing level at any Site of Grace.
This Scadutree Blessing buffs the damage you deal to enemies and your resistance to any attack, with each level increasing this as a percentage on top of your base stats. This means that, regardless of your build, you always get a significant bump in your survivability. To see how much your Scadutree Blessing increases your stats, check your character’s Status section in the pause menu and see the values in yellow.
Please note that the Scadutree Fragments buffs only apply when you’re inside the Realm of Shadows. Once you head back to the locations to the base game, these buffs will disappear until you return to the shadow realm.
Now that you know how vitally indispensable the Elden Ring Scadutree Fragments are, it’s time to prepare for the difficult first few hours that inevitably lie ahead. Now that the Elden Ring DLC release date is here, we highly recommend that you seek the best Elden Ring talismans. You’ll want as many buffs as you can get to face everything the shadow realm has to throw at you.
