There’s a massive new map to explore in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion, and if you want to be able to thoroughly explore each and every area, you’re going to need all of the new Map Fragments. The first Map Fragment for the Gravesite Plain is easy to find, but some of the others are going to leave you scratching your head. There are multiple areas that are difficult to access in Shadow of the Erdtree, and this guide will help you with everything you need to know.
Just head to the locations in this guide and you’ll be able to find all of the Map Fragments in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, just be aware that some Map Fragments will require you to at least find and make some progress through the Shadow Keep dungeon.
This first Map Fragment of the Land of Shadow can be found directly Northeast from where you start your DLC adventure, just South of the Scorched Ruins.
The Scadu Altus Map Fragment is North of the Highroad Cross Site of Grace, and can be reached after completing Castle Ensis.
The Southern Shore Map Fragment unveils the Cerulean Coast as well as the looming mountain in the distance. You can use our Cerulean Coast location guide to get there as early as possible. Once there, the Map Fragment can be found alongside the main path to the West of the Southern beach.
From Moorth Ruins head North and slightly East to find a cave system, head through and follow it in order to find the Ancient Ruins Base Site of Grace, and then Southwest from there you can find Temple Town Ruins, and the Map Fragment nearby.
Reaching the Abyssal Woods is a bit more difficult than most areas. Once you’ve thoroughly explored the Shadow Keep, use the coffin to discover the Castle Watering Hole Site of Grace and follow the river South, past the Recluses’ River Upstream and Recluses’ River Downstream Sites of Grace.
Eventually, you will come to the river area underneath the Bonny Village, and you’ll find some gravestones jutting out of the South cliff face, allowing you to descend to the Darklight Catacombs. Make your way through the Darklight Catacombs and you’ll find yourself in the Abyssal Woods by the Forsaken Graveyard Site of Grace.
You’ll finally find the Abyssal Woods Map Fragment by the Church Ruins Site of Grace in Southeast.

The second-to-last mission of the Edge of Fate story puts players on a time crunch. If you run out of time, the mission fails. For veteran Destiny 2 players, they should not have issues keeping up with the time constraints. You will remember the majority of the paths from the Outer Steppes quest. Below is the guide on how to complete the mission. Destiny 2 Edge of Fate: Criticality Walkthrough Enemies during the mission will drop coolants that extend your timer. You return to the Reactor and must move to each generator area. Reactor Coolant Pump One Destroy the three disruptors. One is open from the start, one requires Vex boxes to be broken, and the last requires you to use Matterspark to enter a vent to reach. Access the terminal and break open the Vex box. Reactor Coolant Pump Two As you progress towards the second coolant, you will need to use your Matterspark and Mattermorph. Break three disruptors to open the terminal. Two disruptors have identical requirements as prior, while the third makes you break a pylon with Matterspark instead of going through a vent. Reactor Coolant Pump Three You will need to use Mattermorph to reach the third coolant. Continue to break Disruptors, with one requiring the Relocator to reach. Once completed, return to the Reactor. Defeat the Vex Hydra At the Reactor, you face a Hydra. Once the Hydra reaches 50% health, it gains a shield. Kill Vex throughout the area to expose disruptors. Once all three disruptors are dead, you can turn your attention to the Hydra. Killing the Hydra stabilizes the Reactor, and you get rewards. Deposit the Capsule Return to the Altar to deposit the final Capsule. Speak with Lodi and Orin to proceed. After hearing the Nine council on the next emissary and the guardian as a weapon, you are instructed to find III, who summoned you to Kepler.
Being the backup quarterback isn't necessarily the most exciting role for anyone, but for a team like the Miami Dolphins, where starter Tua Tagovailoa has suffered four concussions since entering the NFL in 2020, it could be vital. As of now, a clear battle for that spot has formed between rookie seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers and veteran former first-round selection Zach Wilson as they go head-to-head. Of course, training camp is where these kinds of questions can be solved, and so far, it appears that Ewers has done a good job in putting his best foot forward. On Friday, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel gave a very positive update on the young quarterback, stating, "Dolphins rookie QB Quinn Ewers had a strong third practice of training camp. Made several impressive, big-time throws." The update sparked conversations among many fans, both supporting Ewers and a serious showing that there's interest in seeing who comes out on top. "Show ‘em, Quinn," said one comment. "He just does a lot of things (anticipatory throws, timing throws, MOTF accuracy, etc.) that fit this system much better than what Wilson does. I think with refinement and development we could have a backup in Miami that can operate the offense efficiently…finally," said another. "Love to hear it!" a third added. A fourth stated, "I'd be surprised if he's not the backup.." "I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Quinn Ewers has the physical tools to stick at the next level. It’s just a matter of shaping the rest," a fifth continued. "That’s QB2 potential QB1 in the future Glad we drafted Ewers," said another. Another big test for both Ewers and Wilson will be during the Dolphins' three preseason games, as the coaching staff will get a much better look at how these two perform during live matchups. Luckily for both, though, being the backup is all they're truly fighting for, as Kyle Crabbs of A to Z Sports predicts that each will make the final 53-man roster, with cuts needing to be made by Aug. 27.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have plenty of suitors for third baseman Eugenio Suarez. A new team has reportedly entered the market for his services. Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the Phillies have reached out regarding Suarez. While Lauber did not provide any indication as to whether or not those talks have gained traction, the Phillies are an intriguing suitor for the Diamondbacks' third baseman. The Phillies' interest may be a recent development. Jon Heyman of the New York Post speculated on Friday that the Phillies could emerge as a suitor in the wake of third baseman Alec Bohm landing on the injured list with a fractured left rib. Suarez is in the midst of what is arguably his best season thus far. He has produced a .249/.321/.587 batting line in 421 plate appearances entering Saturday with 36 homers and a major league-leading 87 RBI. Suarez would be more than just another powerful bat in the lineup. Designated hitter Kyle Schwarber and first baseman Bryce Harper are both left-handed hitters — adding Suarez would provide more balance in the batting order. He would also provide a counter against opposing managers bringing in a lefty reliever to face Schwarber and Harper. The biggest question would be how the Phillies would handle an eventual logjam on the roster. Bohm is expected to return from the IL in mid-August and would not have a clear path to regular at-bats if Suarez were acquired. Schwarber could theoretically return to left field to open up playing time at the DH spot, but his outfield defense is mediocre at best. However, as the Phillies are also looking to upgrade the outfield, where Max Kepler and Brandon Marsh have been disappointments, adding Suarez could solve several problems in one fell swoop.
The Los Angeles Lakers are working on building a contender around last season's blockbuster addition of Luka Doncic, and could have their eyes on a player named the biggest "steal" of free agency. James Herbert of CBS Sports noted that former Boston Celtics star Malcolm Brogdon is still looking for his next NBA home and could be a bargain for a team that lands him. "After a couple of years in Portland and Washington, it feels like it's time for the veteran guard to get back on a winning team," Herbert wrote. "If healthy, he could be a real bargain for a contender -- it was only two years ago that he won Sixth Man of the Year in Boston." Bleacher Report's Timothy Rapp named the Lakers as a team to watch for Brogdon, who has shared his admiration for Lakers star LeBron James in the past. Speaking to Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson, the former NBA Rookie of the Year said he believes James is the greatest of all time and disagrees with those who use his longevity as an argument against him. “At 40, I think that LeBron is playing at a higher level, but I think medicine and I think science has come a long way,” Brogdon said. “But I think also longevity has to be counted for LeBron. He’s the first player in this game to have longevity that is counted against him, you know? It’s one of his downfalls.” Brodgon was a solid contributor for the Washington Wizards last season, scoring 12.7 points with 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.
