Where to find all Elden Ring map fragments

Elden Ring map fragmentsFromSoftware

Map Fragments are crucial to plan your routes across Elden Ring’s vast open world but you’ll have to find and unlock them first.

Elden Ring has a huge explorable world and it can be daunting at first but Map Fragments can make things easier. Unlocking each Fragment will reveal new sections of the map which allows you to better plan your routes, mark important places, and use fast travel to avoid hostile areas with bosses you’re not prepared to fight yet.

You only need to unlock them once in the game. Your map and the location marking of everywhere you’ve visited will carry over into New Game Plus, but in your first playthrough, you’ll still have to find every Map Fragment.

All map fragment locations in Elden Ring

Every map fragment in Elden Ring can be found by visiting stone obelisks scattered throughout the Lands Between. Once you enter a region, you’ll have an empty map of the area, but the stone obelisks will be marked, allowing you to ride toward them to open the map up properly.

Remember, you won’t be able to just ride around the map from the start and unlock every map fragment, many regions are gated and will require you to progress in the story before you can unlock them.

Below, we’ve included every stone obelisk/map fragment location in Elden Ring. We’ve also provided them in a logical order based on the average playthrough, but you may find some before others, depending on where your travels take you.
