Elden Ring has one of the biggest open worlds in gaming history. The world of Elden Ring has been designed with incredible thought and detail in mind. From the vivid mountains of Limgrave to the fiery pits of Volcano Manor, each location feels lived-in and organic.
What sets Elden Ring apart from other open-world games is the player’s ability to explore the entirety of the world from the get-go. Some areas are still blocked off in the beginning. Despite that, players have much more freedom to explore in Elden Ring than in other games of its kind.
When players start their playthrough, the map is filled with blank spaces. However, in order to unlock these blank spaces on the map, players in the game have to find map fragments. These map fragments allow the player to get a view of the area on the in-game map. This enables players to precisely mark their destinations and decide how they want to explore the sprawling world of Elden Ring.
The map fragments are very important for the players as Elden Ring’s map is expansive. Having a clear idea of their locations allows players to easily backtrack to certain locations.
There are a total of 19 map fragments spread throughout Elden Ring. Most map fragments can be found on pillars that players can come across while exploring the open world. In this guide, players can find the locations of all the map fragments.
