As players journey through the realm of shadow, they’ll come across Scadutree Fragments, special consumables used to enhance your Shadow Realm Blessing, which boosts both your offense and defense.
Ever since its anticipated release, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree has been hit with mixed ratings due to its extreme difficulty. That said, collecting Scadutree fragments gives your overleveled NG+7 Tarnished a fighting chance.

Follow our Scadutree Fragments guide for each fragment’s location and to know everything about the Shadow Realm Blessing. Minor spoilers ahead!
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree: What does the Shadow Realm Blessing do?
The Shadow Realm Blessing permanently buffs all damage dealt and lowers all damage received. You improve your blessing by consuming enough Scadutree Fragments at a Site of Grace. It’s worth noting that the buff only applies when you are inside the expansion.
There are 50 Scadutree Fragments scattered across Shadow of the Erdtree. These are found near sites of grace, within a Church of Marika or from enemy drops. And the number needed to upgrade your Shadow Realm Blessing changes at certain levels.
