Elden Ring: All Map Fragment Locations Walkthrough

Unlike any other Soulsborne game I’ve seen before, Elden Ring features a wide and booming world with dynamic starting classes and a massive free-roam gameplay element. This means you’ve got an entire map to explore and find many areas in the Lands Between. This challenging task can be made a little easier if you play Elden Ring co-op with friends or random tarnished ones. This guide will aim to give you all of the various map fragment locations in Elden Ring.

Only a small portion of the map is unlocked at the beginning. The rest of it is blacked out, beckoning for you to gather what is called a “map fragment” to unlock more perceivable areas.

Map Fragment Locations

The following is an expanding list of all the map fragments in Elden Ring, along with their locations. The list will be consistently updated as I stumble upon more fragments in the game. 

Here are all the fragment locations in Elden Ring summarized: 

Limgrave, West – The First Elden Ring Map Fragment 

To find the Limgrave, West map fragment, I followed these steps:

Limgrave, East 

In order to find the Limgrave, East map fragment, I suggest doing the following steps:

Weeping Peninsula 

To collect the Weeping Peninsula map fragment, Here’s what I did:

The map fragment to open up the area of the Weeping Peninsula is one of the easiest map fragment locations to track down. You’ll find it on the very south side of the map along the main road. The following image should help clarify things for you. 

Continue south toward the main road, and you’ll soon find a Site of Lost Grace toward the left-hand side. In addition, there’s also going to be a merchant sitting around a campfire with his horse, offering you his wares at the cost of runes. 

Once you go past the merchant, you’ll see a sizable opening that looks as if a large wall was broken down to form a hole in the middle. Go past this area and travel downhill until you find the obelisk comprising the Weeping Peninsula map fragment at its base. Do yourself a favor: Pick up the map and go right back where you came from unless you’ve got a death wish. 

Advancing any further from the obelisk will allow you to discover ballistic arrows shot at you with shuttle-launch accuracy. You’re obviously not well-built at this stage in the game to handle what’s coming next, so the most logical approach here would be a prompt retreat. 

Dragonbarrow

In order to find the Dragonbarrow map fragment, I suggest implementing these steps:

Caelid region will be your next destination for finding more map fragment locations. This is where you’ll find the sky painted in red in the early day, hinting at a persevering sense of lurking doom. Be sure to explore this area with your magical horse for the best results and painless navigation. 

Certain world details that will help you find the area of the Dragonbarrow map fragment include the Dragonbarrow West Site of Lost Grace and the Divine Tower as well. Venture toward the south side of the latter, and you’ll eventually stumble upon the map-containing stone pillar.  

Caelid

In order to locate the Caelid map fragment, these are the steps I did:

The Caelid area in Elden Ring’s colossal game world is situated in the southeast area and comprises tons of different subareas waiting to be explored and dugout. It’s definitely an involved section, allowing players to collect weapons, spells, and a diversity of other items. If you’re looking for an easier time traversing Caelid, you’ll need its map fragment. 

Luckily, the Caelid map fragment’s location isn’t that hard to find. You’ll need to take your horse for a ride through Rotview Balcony and end up circling the main road, as shown in the image below. The following screenshot specifies the exact location of this specific piece of the map.

After arriving at this location, you’ll find a familiar monument engraved with yellow hieroglyphics. This will indicate that you’ve run into a map fragment. Go up to it and collect the item to discover the Caelid map fragment. Beware though. Fire-breathing dragons are roaming around Caelid and you can possibly be their next prey. 

Liurnia, East 

I did these steps to get the Liurnia east map fragment:

Check out the screenshot below for a visual indication of where to find this specific map fragment. 

Liurnia, North 

In order to locate the Lirunia, North map fragment, I recommend the following steps:

The screenshot should provide visual assistance in locating the fragment.

Liurnia, West 

If you want to find the Liurnia, West map fragment, follow the steps I did:

Refer to the provided screenshot for additional guidance to help you locate the map fragment in Elden Ring.

Altus Plateau  

To get the Altus Plateau map fragment, Here’s the path that I would recommend:

The Altus Plateau is a region in the Elden Ring that can only be accessed when you have both halves of the Dectus Medallion. As you try getting past from Liurnia to the Altus Plateau, you will find a great obstruction in between, asking you for the Dectus Medallion in full. Once you’ve grabbed this item, you’ll be able to enter Altus and explore this new section for a ton of diversity. There will also be a Site of Lost Grace at the entrance of this area.

Finding the Altus Plateau map fragment location in Elden Ring gets super easy afterward. As soon as you go past the Grand Lift of Dectus, which is the obstruction I mentioned earlier, keep going along the main road until you come across a divide. Take a left here and keep following the pathway until you stumble upon the map-containing monument.

The following screenshot of the Elden Ring map should help you make things come to focus. 

Mt. Gelmir

Here is my recommended method for getting to the Mt. Gelmir map fragment:

Show Full Text

1. Activate the Site of Lost Grace at the Bridge of Inquiry.
2. Head west from this location to a camp area with fences, blood, and rocky structures.
3. Stay left upon entering and look for a ladder with lanterns.
4. Be prepared for a tough enemy; if avoiding, quickly climb the ladder.
5. The climb is lengthy, but you’ll reach your destination eventually.

Refer to the provided image for a visual reference of the starting point.

1. After reaching the surface, continue straight and cross a bridge.
2. Find a Site of Lost Grace and touch it for a checkpoint.
3. Use the nearby Spirit Spring to perform a high jump.
4. After landing, you’ll face the “Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast” boss. You can fight or flee.
5. To get the map fragment, head to the designated location on the map by descending from the mountain’s top.

Beware, though. You’ll find an extremely creepy monster at the site of the map-comprising obelisk. This creature will be no less than a lovechild of a hand and a spider, both of which are extra large. 

Leyndell, Royal Capital 

Here’s how you should be able to collect the Leyndell Royal Capital map fragment:

Getting your hands on the Leyndell, Royal Capital map fragment is definitely easier compared to some of the other ones in this guide. You need to be at the Outer Wall Phantom Tree Site of Grace, which is a circular area with a golden tree in its center. At the roundabout, you’ll find the obelisk with the map fragment painlessly. 

Check out the following screenshot for a visual depiction of this region’s location. 

Mountaintops of the Giants, East

I have to admit, the best way to get the Mountaintops of the Giants, East map fragment is the following:

Show Full Text

1. Gather the Rold Medallion to activate the Grand Lift of Rold.
2. Summon your mount after unlocking the area on the other side.
3. Head straight along the main road until you see “Mountaintops of the Giants” on the screen.
4. Focus on the right side of the road as you ride.
5. After a short distance from the Grand Lift of Rold, find the monument with the Mountaintops of the Giants, East map fragment.

The following screenshot should pinpoint things for you nicely.  

Having the west part of this area’s map fragment in the bag should set you up for the remaining portion perfectly.

Mountaintops of the Giants, West

To collect the Mountaintops of the Giants, West map fragment, I advise following these steps:

• A quick tip: It’s advised to keep checking the map whenever you’ve approached a new area in the game. This will help you find map fragments more efficiently, since these pop up on their own in the form of Beacons on the map. The trick works especially when you’re in the vicinity of a map piece. 

Lake of Rot

As someone who has wasted hours in Elden Ring, here’s what I suggest:

The Lake Of Rot map fragment location in Elden Ring is a little further out from the Lake of Rot Shoreside Site of Grace. You’ll be able to pillage a dead body for the map piece easily in that area. The following screenshot depicts the site of this section.

Siofra River

Based on what I experienced, the best path to get the Siofra River map fragment is:

Show Full Text

1. Start at Siofra River Well Site of Grace.
2. Head straight to the lift, descend to Siofra River, touch the nearby Site of Lost Grace.
3. In Siofra River Well Depths, go north through alleys, reach a waterfall.
4. Near the waterfall, find a lift and go up.
5. On the surface, summon your mount, exit, go straight, take a right at the main road fork.
6. Look for a body against a pillar at stairs leading to a bridge for the Siofra River map fragment.

Unlike other map fragments, this one is not at the base of a typical obelisk. Refer to the provided screenshot for a clearer view of the item’s location in the Elden Ring game world.

Mohgwyn Palace

To collect the Mohgwyn Palace map fragment, I followed these steps:

The Mohgwyn Palace is another sinister place in Elden Ring. It brims with a crimson red sky, pools of blood, and, of course, nefarious foes lurking to cut you down. You’ll find the map fragment beside a wasted body at the base of the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum, which is as soon as you step foot into the area. Take a quick look at the following location on the map to get to the map piece. 

Ainsel River

To get the Ainsel River map fragment, these are the steps I did:

Refer to a screenshot for its exact location.

Consecrated Snowfield

To get the Consecrated Snowfield, this is the route I recommend:

Stay alert and navigate carefully through this challenging location.

My Experience Finding And Using Map Fragments

I have explored every corner of the Lands Between in Elden Ring, and even after a year of playtime. I still use the world map often to navigate through the terrain. In my experience, I found the map fragments extremely helpful in all my save slots and playthroughs, and I used them to mark important landmarks, merchants, and NPCs.

All map fragments are placed at distances and locations where they’re neither annoying to reach nor feel unnecessary to obtain in Elden Ring. I felt rewarded for going slightly out of my way to unlock a map, which eased out my traversing experience heavily. Fortunately, it was extremely easy for me to find Map Fragments thanks to their small yet noticeable marks on the incomplete map screen.

That wraps up my extensive guide on all of Elden Ring’s map fragments, covering their location and my experience using them. While you’re here, check out this guide on the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia.
