Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree – All Shadow Keep Scadutree Fragment Locations

The Scadutree Blessing level is a feature of the Shadow Realm Blessing, a new mechanic for enhancing your character's power. Unlike leveling up with runes, each Scadutree Blessing typically boosts your attack and defense by about 5%, with your attributes displayed in gold while you're in the Shadow Realm. Since each blessing level provides a significant upgrade, the effects are more noticeable compared to allocating stat points through rune-based leveling. It’s highly advisable to increase your Shadow Realm Blessing, especially when facing tough challenges.

Shadow Keep Locations

Main Gate Plaza Site of Grace Fragment x2

The next few Scadutree Fragments are located inside the Shadow Keep, the second Legacy Dungeon at the northern end of Scadu Altus. While there are multiple entrances, it's best to start by entering through the Main Gate.

You’ll obtain this Scadutree Fragment after defeating the Golden Hippopotamus boss at the entrance of the Shadow Keep. This battle also unlocks the first Site of Grace in the Legacy Dungeon, known as Main Gate Plaza.

Storehouse, Fourth Floor Site of Grace Fragment

After passing through the Main Gate of the Shadow Keep, proceed across a drawbridge guarded by a Fire Knight to access a lift that will take you up to the storehouse area of the keep. Once you arrive at the Specimen Storehouse, you'll find a vast library that seems to stretch endlessly. While there’s a path to the left leading to the Rauh Ruins, you should start ascending the storage tower if you want to locate more Scadutree Fragments in this area.

Make your way to the back of the storage room, where you'll find stairs leading up to higher levels. Once you reach the third floor, navigate along a balcony guarded by Vulgar Militia. Look to your right for a large hanging humanoid specimen; you can jump onto its feet and run up to its head, which will allow you to leap onto the fourth floor's balcony. On the fourth floor, you'll discover a new Site of Grace, a Cross of Miquella, and the Scadutree Fragment you seek.

Storehouse, Seventh Floor Fragment

The last main floor you'll access in the Storehouse through this route is the seventh one. To reach it, continue upward until you arrive at a room containing a lever that allows you to adjust the position of the hanging specimens, enabling you to climb the center pillar. Once you reach the seventh floor, you can exit outside for the final section and cross a bridge that connects to the last large room of the storehouse.

You’ll need to defeat a powerful Messmer knight, but once you do, you can open the door in front of you to receive a Scadutree Fragment as a reward. Afterward, head up the stairs to confront Messmer the Impaler.

Church District Fragment

Although this fragment is located in the Shadow Keep, you cannot access it from the main entrance. Instead, you need to navigate to the eastern side of the region, known as the Church District, which can be reached by descending from Moorth Ruins.

Upon entering the Church District, you'll find the entire area flooded, requiring you to jump from roof to roof. Be cautious, as a single misstep can land you in the water, resulting in an instant "You Died" screen. Although it may seem unorthodox, the path is relatively straightforward.

At one point, you'll need to turn left, confront a Messmer knight, and then jump onto some platforms to your left. Ascend to the top of this roof and descend carefully, taking note of where to fall. Once you reach the ground level of this area, move forward and face two more Messmer enemies along the way. You'll find a small room on your right.

Inside this room, you'll find a statue holding an item in its hand, which is, as you guessed, the Scadutree Fragment. The jump to reach it is a bit tricky since you don’t need to run for it, and you only have one chance. However, as long as you jump close to the statue and are prepared to press the button to pick up the Scadutree Fragment, you’ll be fine.

Shadow Keep, Back Gate Site of Grace Fragment

Reaching this Site of Grace isn't straightforward. You'll need to navigate to Scaduview North, which requires some unconventional routes.

The quickest way to get there is to start from the room with the statue where you obtained the previous Scadutree Fragment in the Church District.

In this hallway, if you take the first left, you'll discover the device that cleans the water in the area. However, if you take the second left (just before the spawn point of the second Messmer knight), you'll find a bridge leading to a lift.

Continue along the path, and you’ll re-enter the Specimen Storehouse from a different side. Move forward until you spot a hole in one of the rooms on your left. Keep following the route, which will require you to ascend to the top of the area by using multiple elevators, and you'll eventually reach the Site of Grace. The statue with the fragment is located in a room on your right.

Scadutree Chalice Fragment x5

From the Back Gate Site of Grace in the Shadow Keep, proceed forward and step outside to enter Scaduview North. Here, you'll encounter Commander Gaius.

Once you defeat the commander, summon Torrent and head left through the only available path. You’ll enter a vast expanse of land that appears mostly empty, except for a cabin on your left. At the northern end of the area, marked on the map as a large rectangle, you'll find the Scadutree Chalice. This chalice is exactly what you’re looking for, as there are five Scadutree Fragments surrounding it!
