Quick Answer

Elden Ring has 19 base-game map fragments and five more in Shadow of the Erdtree. On an unrevealed overworld map, the small pillar icon marks the region's map stele; underground fragments are collected from named corpses or structures instead. A fragment reveals terrain, not every Site of Grace or collectible.

Step-by-Step

  1. Open the blank region and look for the small map-stele pillar drawn beside a main road.
  2. Place a beacon on the pillar and approach it from the safest discovered Site of Grace.
  3. Loot the item at the stele; the terrain appears immediately.
  4. For underground maps, follow the area's main route and inspect prominent corpses or structures rather than searching for an overworld pillar.
  5. Repeat by progression region; the full base-game total is 19, or 24 with Shadow of the Erdtree.

Common Mistakes

  • Confusing Sites of Grace with map fragments: graces enable travel, while fragments reveal terrain.
  • Counting the five DLC maps inside the 19-map base-game total.
  • Following another player's marker coordinates instead of the stele icon visible on your own map.

Troubleshooting

Why is the map still brown?

You are either missing that region's stele pickup or are looking at an underground layer whose fragment is found along the local route.

Why is a location absent after collecting the map?

Fragments reveal geography. Graces, caves, merchants, and discoveries are added only when found or manually marked.

FAQ

How many Elden Ring map fragments are there?

There are 19 in the base game and five in Shadow of the Erdtree, for 24 with the expansion.

Do map fragments carry into New Game Plus?

Yes. Collected map fragments and the revealed map carry into the next Journey.

Weapon scaling is the bonus attack gained from attributes listed on the armament. Letter grades run from E through D, C, B, A, and S, but the hidden numerical coefficient inside a grade varies. Upgrade level and affinity can change both base damage and scaling; two-handing multiplies effective Strength by 1.5 for requirements and Strength scaling, not Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, or Arcane.

Elden Ring Boss Order: Main and Recommended Route

A clean base-game route is Margit → Godrick → Red Wolf → Rennala, then Draconic Tree Sentinel → Godfrey’s golden shade → Morgott → Fire Giant → Godskin Duo → Maliketh → Gideon → Godfrey/Hoarah Loux → Radagon and Elden Beast. Only part of that list is strictly required, and another Great Rune can replace Godrick or Rennala before Leyndell.
