Key Takeaway

The Map Fragments in Elden Ring are scattered all around the Lands Between. Map Fragments are mostly found at the foot of monolithic pillars, which you can still spot on the empty map by the glowing pillars.

Since Elden Ring is an open-world game, having a map for navigation makes exploration in the game more comprehensible. There are map fragments you can pick up for each region in the game. Thankfully, they’re all relatively simple to find.

    A Quick Note Before Collecting The Map Fragments

    When you open the map menu without the Map Fragment for the region you’re in, you’ll only see a brown layout. However, nearby roads and the ones you’ve already crossed will still be highlighted.

    You can spot pillars on your map when you get close enough to them. These pillars actually mark the location of that region’s map. Be sure to keep this in mind as you go along the game to search for Map Fragments.

    The images below show the location of the Map Fragments on already marked maps — save for the regions in the underground. You can surmise the location of these fragments on your empty map by following the roads. A lot of these maps are found on the side of the road, which should make it easier for you to find them.
