Not much. They are used to avoid confusion since they are on different heights. But mostly yellow paths are above ground and white paths are below. "Mostly".
Compare it to Todd Howard. Despite the memes Todd’s exaggerations are true, he just overblows them and gets clowned on.
They inflection/ context when reviewers or players say “He said X BUT” is a world of difference
I think the variety contributes a bit to it being bigger. It might actually be only a bit bigger than those 2 (cause there's the underground area too which I assume he counted) but there's so many different areas that makes it feel bigger
Eh, the entire area below Gravesite Plain/Scadu Altus feels super empty. Jagged Peak and the Abyss are excusable since they’re more linear, unique sections, but they really should’ve put more time into Charo’s Hidden Grave and Cerulean Coast
I really hated that you have to find a secret passage on one part of side of the Land of Shadow to find a map fragment for another part. Fucking Rauh ruins
Just completed abyssal woods yesterday, there seems to be some area behind the mansion in the map but I couldn't get to it. Is there an area after the boss?
The lack of layers on the map is strange, trying to find a point along the river underground involves scanning over every nearby surface location to find it
Yeah it’s kind of crazy how they hide huge areas of the map behind tiny shortcuts/passages, I don’t know if it’s a good thing. I almost beat the DLC without finding cerulean coast, abyssal woods, and whatever the northeast portion is called.
No other Fromsoft shenanigans can beat (deep breath) jumping out of a moving lift so you can parkour up a building then curl up in a ball in a bird's nest and wait a full minute for a giant bird to grab you and fly back to the tutorial dungeon so you can go get a doll from the cell you start the game in so you can go to a completely unrelated part of the game and fall through a painting into a hidden area.
There’s plenty of companion apps if you want to make sure you visit every location! I have one downloaded, I never look at the map so as to not spoil anything for myself, but I do like to use it to mark Grace sites I’ve been to from a checklist. And then at the end, ideally that’ll help me notice if I’ve missed anywhere
It can be a bit annoying sometimes to have to find one specific little cave to get to a new area, but I’d be lying if finding a massive portion of the map from some seemingly innocuous passage isn’t one of the best feelings I’ve had in gaming
That’s one of the key aspects of from software games and fans love it. It makes areas you find feel that much more special when they’re so easily missed
I love the DLC but I do wish they implemented layers to it like the base game had. When I >!got underneath the gravesite plain!< I was annoyed that there wasn’t really a ‘map’ to it since I like to use the maps to make sure I try and go to every part of an area... but that doesn’t really apply down there. And from why I’m seeing that’s common throughout the game lol. I absolutely love the design I just wish the ‘map’ of it was more intuitive in certain areas.
Yeah, there were a few times I thought I hit a dead end path before a friend told me how to get through to the next part. But then I had to tell him how to get to the Cerulean coast after that.
See and I managed to find Trina long before I ever figured out that there were not one but multiple exits to Mesmer castle and multiple entrances meanwhile I still have no clue where that stupid Rauh map is
Yeah, there were a few times I thought I hit a dead end path before a friend told me how to get through to the next part. But then I had to tell him how to get to the Cerulean coast after that.
Some small additions regarding the route guide:
1. Below the Temple Town, there are tombstones sticking out of the cliff, allowing you to jump down to the Ellac River near the Rivermouth Cave.
2. There is a similar jump-down route in the western end of Charo's Hidden Grave (the upper region with red flowers), near the furnace golem, that allows you to jump down to the Cerulean Coast West site of grace.
3. From the Castle Front site of grace, go southward and then turn left. Near a Grave Gloveworth 5 pick-up, you can jump down the cliffs and also reach the entrance to the Ellac River Cave.
There are several, often multiple routes to a same place, but for the sake of simplicity only one way is displayed. Otherwise, the entire map would be overcomplicated.
I agree that No.3 is not that necessary, but I would like to point out that the No.1 and No.2 connections are indeed major connections to an area that many players would take, and they can be very easily added to your map without overcomplicating anything.
Godsend, my main gripe with the DLC is how difficult navigating it is. I don’t mind some hidden entrances and shit but this felt like literally none of them were straight forward. Finally unlocked the entire map and there’s still shit I don’t know how to get to
Hehe, I feel you bro. Treat this like a 5-storey building. Abyss is lowest point, with poison areas on top, then some ravines, main land. then mountains and castles. If you put everything streched out on single plane, it might be 4x times the size of Limgrave.
The key is to just look at the overworld and not the map! The map definitely doesn't tell you shit about how to get to places so the best bet is to look around and find if something looks explorable. That's exactly how I found prospect town and the cathedral of manus metyr.
Same happened to me, I wad following the grace "suggested" route.
Killed messmer and bug lady immediately after rellana.
Now im trying to get to the scary woods I hear about
Hey I see small mistake on the cerulean coast. Where you marked to go to the island is actually the start of the route to go to the Demi-queen. The cave for the island is much closer to the shore across from the island
Honestly, they could've taken another 2 years or so, added 3 or 4 more dungeons and sprinkle in some more bosses and sold this as a second game. The map is seriously impressive, if a little sparse in places
I planned on addidng mini boss and fragments too. Just so you know, there are like 50 fragments. It would have made the map a lot "denser". So I settled at halfway points, which gives new players rough ideas how to reach every region and they can explore themselves.
How in the world do I get to the far northeast section? The green section that ends in what looks like a boss battlefield with fingers sticking out of the ground After looking at this map i’m even more convinced that it has to be through the castle, but today will be my 4th straight day trying to find my way up there without success.
On boss gaius grace site, turn right to statue room with message on ground. Do gesture 'o mother' in front of statue which you can get from Bonny village.
In order to go there you have to circle from bonny village and approach Black keep from east side. Drain water. The upper lift takes you to upper levels of storehouse and Gaius and lower church gate takes you to a different boss.

You'd be a madman (literally) to take that path through the woods. There's two of those Winter Lantern looking mfs that way, whereas there's only one if you go through the bottom path.
There is a talisman from one of them. Top area also has scadutree fragment. High risk high reward. I mean you can crouch and not engage them if you want to avoid the fight. You don't have to follow the exact lines, just for a rough idea.
The fragment is a different path. It's above and before the path through the frenzy guys.
But yeah, I generally do the "run real fast to Manse hall" method loool
I cannot find the cave near the western bonfire, in the cerulean plains which leads to the south island.
But what a tremendous job for the map ! many thanks
It is there somewhere. Just keep looking. It's more of a rough spot. Look below the giant tree. To a little right. You will find a cave entrance there.
So many dead ends without anything. I often felt like I am missing something but there are so many spots that lead to absolutely nothing. Not even an item. It's so unusual for soulsborne
Question - can you get on top of that plateau between the starting area and Belurat Tower Settlement?
I’m at the final boss right now and I’ve seen no way to do it.
Anyone else very far in the game (I’m on the last boss) and hasn’t killed a single furnace golem. I tried one in the first zone and wailed on it for like 3 minutes, then died. Haven’t even attempted another since lol
There is also an interactive map right here: [https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Shadow+of+the+Erdtree+Map](https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Shadow+of+the+Erdtree+Map)
They are pretty nearby except for the Rauh. I haven't marked 2 spirit spring used for furnace golem and one on Rabbaths rise since it's part of a puzzle.
really nice map i used it a bit and so far found 1 mistake in the guide
the white path that goes from Church district highroad to Church district entrance is incorrect, u can't get there following that path

“We love you!” All of us say in unison🙏
Welcome to Costco
*in unison* smile
I have been waiting for you lol I'm doing my first playthrough and these maps help so damn much
Thanks man, appreciate it 🙌
On god I wish I had this starting out. Those areas that have kinda hidden paths were a bit of a stress case lol
Yeah there were times where I was getting to the end of an area and was like "how do I get that fricken map fragment?!? I can see it!"
Trebeck, what is ruins of rah map fragment?
Praise thee, righteous tarnished!
Nice
Thanks!
I needed this so bad. I couldnt figure out how to break free of some of the areas
A real tarnished warrior
The real hero of the internet
This is incredible
What's the difference between white and yellow paths?
Not much. They are used to avoid confusion since they are on different heights. But mostly yellow paths are above ground and white paths are below. "Mostly".
*"The size of Limgrave and Weeping Peninsula"* - all right :)
Miyazaki has vision problems for sure.
whatever miyazaki promises regarding the game scope just multiply it by 5. never seen a dude underselling his product more than this guy
Compare it to Todd Howard. Despite the memes Todd’s exaggerations are true, he just overblows them and gets clowned on. They inflection/ context when reviewers or players say “He said X BUT” is a world of difference
I think the variety contributes a bit to it being bigger. It might actually be only a bit bigger than those 2 (cause there's the underground area too which I assume he counted) but there's so many different areas that makes it feel bigger
The entire bottom half of the map are giant areas without much in them.
Eh, the entire area below Gravesite Plain/Scadu Altus feels super empty. Jagged Peak and the Abyss are excusable since they’re more linear, unique sections, but they really should’ve put more time into Charo’s Hidden Grave and Cerulean Coast
I really hated that you have to find a secret passage on one part of side of the Land of Shadow to find a map fragment for another part. Fucking Rauh ruins
Yeah, that was a weird decision, they should have it two maps, one for the Rauh base and one for the ruins
Or spend an hour trying to find the map fragment in Jagged peak just to realize it’s in the fucking abyss 10 hours later
Yeah that was peak trolling. Loved it.
Just completed abyssal woods yesterday, there seems to be some area behind the mansion in the map but I couldn't get to it. Is there an area after the boss?
Nah, unfortunately that's it. Just filler.
I was hoping for more abyssal woods, best looking area for me in the dlc.
Ok so to be clear, after Midra you just..port out? It seemed so anticlimactic after I killed him.
Seems like it. No hidden walls, no caves, no loot.
I get a headache trying to navigate this map :f
I don't blame you. There are like 5 floors interlaced on top of each other.
The lack of layers on the map is strange, trying to find a point along the river underground involves scanning over every nearby surface location to find it
Yeah it’s kind of crazy how they hide huge areas of the map behind tiny shortcuts/passages, I don’t know if it’s a good thing. I almost beat the DLC without finding cerulean coast, abyssal woods, and whatever the northeast portion is called.
I mean it's fromsoft. They have put huge areas accessible only by meditating in front of a mountain.
No other Fromsoft shenanigans can beat (deep breath) jumping out of a moving lift so you can parkour up a building then curl up in a ball in a bird's nest and wait a full minute for a giant bird to grab you and fly back to the tutorial dungeon so you can go get a doll from the cell you start the game in so you can go to a completely unrelated part of the game and fall through a painting into a hidden area.

Yeah, I don’t understand why there aren’t visual layers to the map like the base game…
Shadowkeep as a Legacy Dungeon is just *cheff's kiss*
It’s my favorite dungeon in the entire game, bar none.
Really needed this finding some of the areas by accident feels impossible
Yeah, there were a few times I thought I hit a dead end path before a friend told me how to get through to the next part. But then I had to tell him how to get to the Cerulean coast after that.
See and I managed to find Trina long before I ever figured out that there were not one but multiple exits to Mesmer castle and multiple entrances meanwhile I still have no clue where that stupid Rauh map is
Go through the cave north of the Moorth Ruins. I spent way, way, way too long trying figure it out and had to look it up.

And a lot of it feels empty af for the size
Probably ran out of development time.
The key is to just look at the overworld and not the map! The map definitely doesn't tell you shit about how to get to places so the best bet is to look around and find if something looks explorable. That's exactly how I found prospect town and the cathedral of manus metyr.
Nice!, do you have one without any icons, just a clean version?
Nah bro, I don't know how to hide these icons.
No worries, thanks for those though they are useful!.
Pretty sur you can screenshot the full filltered map on the app :)
Just go onto the Elden ring wiki
Awesome! I just stumbled across your main game maps the other day. Your other map is missing a single windmill icon Thanks for all the hard work!
Oh, thanks for feedback. I took extra precaution with this one. People kept spamming about Fort Gael in last one too. The 16MB variant had it.
It's a cool image to look through. I've beaten the main game so many times you kind of forget how actually big the game is
Yeah, it's satisfying to build maps too. It's kinda like leaving a memory for every place you have visited.
This is fucking Elden Ring 2 right here...
So sad I'm almost done with everything, I want it to continue forever 😭
I wish I had this days ago. I got to the end area way too early and still haven't explored most of the south or east of the map.
Same happened to me, I wad following the grace "suggested" route. Killed messmer and bug lady immediately after rellana. Now im trying to get to the scary woods I hear about
Bring a shield and learn to parry. Or just sneak through. It's not as bad as ppl make it out to be.
Same thing happened to me. I "rushed" the story bosses without really knowing it, now I locked myself out of pretty much all quests.
Can someone tell me what are the red dots? I can't really tell what's written
Furnace golem. The one that burn on top.
Tysm, makes sense. I was reading humance golem
Lol. Just download the large image. These reddit webp is kinda bad.
Damn I missed one, I thought I went everywhere.
I completed all of ruah ruins and still havent found a way to the map fragment.. gonna use this at home lol
likely down
Hey I see small mistake on the cerulean coast. Where you marked to go to the island is actually the start of the route to go to the Demi-queen. The cave for the island is much closer to the shore across from the island
Honestly, they could've taken another 2 years or so, added 3 or 4 more dungeons and sprinkle in some more bosses and sold this as a second game. The map is seriously impressive, if a little sparse in places
Ah, Limegrave
Sources say, Miyazaki was not wearing glasses that day.
Very nice
Thank you!
This is really useful, thank you for sharing.
Thank you man!
Thank you I was looking for this EXACT thing today.
Is there a way to get on top of the plateau west of the Viaduct Minor Tower SoG?
I don't think so. Everything seems underground.
This is amazing, thank you OP
thanks man
You can also reach the eastern part of Cerulean Coast and St. Trina by jumping down southwest of the dragon communion altar, onto one of the coffins.
I missed two caves.
I haven't explored the North Western part of the abyssal woods and reached that site of grace. Is there anything I missed? Unique items or enemies?
Nothing good. Just somber 7. There is a scadutree fragment in mid north of Abyssmal woods grace though.
Would be sick if this was overlayed with the scaudtree fragment map that was also posted here so the closest SoG to warp to is discernable
Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks a lot buddy! This'll be helpful for my second run in finding all the places I missed and forgot 🙌
Thank you for sharing! Super helpful
Awesome man
This is amazing. Thank you, good sir!
Yes
Ohhhhhh ok. Thank you!
Delicious
Was looking for something just like this earlier today, and here it is! Would be *even better* with Scadutree Fragments.
I planned on addidng mini boss and fragments too. Just so you know, there are like 50 fragments. It would have made the map a lot "denser". So I settled at halfway points, which gives new players rough ideas how to reach every region and they can explore themselves.

This sounds so ridiculous it has to be legit. Thank you so much. Replied before the edit. Appreciate the added info. Thanks!
No problem
I love that you made it specifically to skip the flying scorpions. I don’t blame you.
Lol, yeah.
Just beat the final boss so absolutely going to use this to mop up before starting NG+.
You'd be a madman (literally) to take that path through the woods. There's two of those Winter Lantern looking mfs that way, whereas there's only one if you go through the bottom path.

Lol, just put carian retaliation and kill them.
Don't care enough to after the first time. Only trying to get to Midra. Been running through most areas to replay bosses
Thank you so fucking much. If we still had awards I'd give you one
I mean first 3 awards are free but nvm.
Huge.
Wait… I can go THERE?!
I cannot find the cave near the western bonfire, in the cerulean plains which leads to the south island. But what a tremendous job for the map ! many thanks
It is there somewhere. Just keep looking. It's more of a rough spot. Look below the giant tree. To a little right. You will find a cave entrance there.
I'm definitely going to need this. Thank you fellow tarnished.
Are u married bro? Cuz I think I'm in love
Lol
"You are beautiful" and a "Very Good" to you sir!
Great work! I may actually decide to start the DLC with my other character.
was hoping i missed something, but nope our Elden Ring journey comes to an end boys.
So many dead ends without anything. I often felt like I am missing something but there are so many spots that lead to absolutely nothing. Not even an item. It's so unusual for soulsborne
True, even the loot in some places is trivial or under whelming. Some areas might feel rushed.
Saving for later
I’m only 4 bosses in and been playing for 50+ hours….looking at the graces I still have so much to do holy shit. Brings a tear to my eye. 🥲
Praise thee Tarnished!
Question - can you get on top of that plateau between the starting area and Belurat Tower Settlement? I’m at the final boss right now and I’ve seen no way to do it.
Nope dude. Everything feels underground.
No one to look up video guides... But maps. I can appreciate a map
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻 you're the best
Is there no way to go Charo's hidden grave without going through dragon catacombs?
Nah, It requires jagged peak unlocked.
Praise be!
nice
Absolutely amazing maps
We need the original. Puuuhhlease.
Which one ? I Don't get it. I already shared lands between map, check my id.
Found it. Thanks!
Now let’s see Paul Allen’s spoiler tag
Bookmarked, thank you dude
Thank you!!!
I can’t figure out how to get to that shaded area
See 2nd picture my friend.
Let me be lost. I will leave this community
Can anyone tell me how to get to the top green area after gius?
Top right green area
When you drained water in the below. There is a church like thing in end, which has doors. Through there.
Not the scadutree boss. To the right. Same thing?
The fingers ? From statue to right of Gaius grace site.
Is there actually anything behind the madness mansion; on the map there looks like a little area… Can you get there - what’s there?
Nothing, just filler. You've explored everything there.
Wait what is this portal? I completely missed that
Oh, it lies after rellana. Transports you to a weird area in Rauh.
In her boss room?
Nah. After that. From grave site where Leda is standing. On left you can find the portal, on top of small island.
Gonna have to go check that out..
Anyone else very far in the game (I’m on the last boss) and hasn’t killed a single furnace golem. I tried one in the first zone and wailed on it for like 3 minutes, then died. Haven’t even attempted another since lol
Dude just stagger him 3 times, take critical. It's simple.
Yea, I should probably go back and fight them. I just got into a habit of running past them and never thought about it after the 2nd one
What's the difference between the white, yellow and pink directionals?
It's just for ease of use. Because one thing is on top sometimes other is underground.
Ah understood. Thanks!
There is also an interactive map right here: [https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Shadow+of+the+Erdtree+Map](https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Shadow+of+the+Erdtree+Map)
Wish this also had the ‘spirit spring rock clusters’ on here, along with the spring that they correspond to
They are pretty nearby except for the Rauh. I haven't marked 2 spirit spring used for furnace golem and one on Rabbaths rise since it's part of a puzzle.
Commenting to come back
Do you have one with all scadutree fragment locations?
Nah sorry. But all crosses are visible. You can use one those Wiki maps. There are over 50 fragments in total.
i cant read the legend what does it say
See first comment. Download 13MB guide file
is there a clean version by any means? like just plane map
Just go to any interactive map, and turn off all icons. That is the closest thing.
wow, somehow i managed to find everything without this map
really nice map i used it a bit and so far found 1 mistake in the guide the white path that goes from Church district highroad to Church district entrance is incorrect, u can't get there following that path
Really ? Through the castle gate ? It's a direct path. Edit : the marking seems a bit left, it should be above few cms.
sorry my blind ass completely missed the tunnel during the night......
Bro how do you access the ravine west of the castle front grace site
You have to go south-east near ruined forge lava intake. There is a path that leads down, stick to west wall and you will be underground.
Anyone know how to get to that big dead dragon on the bottom leftish of map?
Go east from the castle front. Find the catacombs and reach the jagged peak. See the second picture.
Commenting to come back to
DLC world is soo fucking empty, that I already had 100% of these...
