Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC adds 50 new collectible items called Scadutree Fragments. They can be redeemed at Sites of Grace to receive Scadutree Blessings which permanently reduces the damage taken from all sources in the Realm of Shadows. Effectively, they increase all your resistance stats by a little over 1% per blessing you redeem.
Finding a large amount of Scadutree Blessings can make the DLC significantly easier. Especially against the hardest bosses you will be able to survive more hits. Attacks that might otherwise instant-kill you can then be survived. It acts as a type of secondary leveling system unique to the DLC area, the base stats still matter, but without collecting Scadutree Blessings you’d have a hard time.
These items are frequently found at Sites of Grace. At Sites of Grace you can check how many Blessings you received, but the more you have the more Fragments they will cost per Blessing.
Also refer to Revered Spirit Ash Blessings, they bolster summoned spirits’ and spectral steed’s abilities to deal and negate more damage.

12. Enir-Ilim
POINT OF NO RETURN WARNING – SEALING TREE: Using the Sealing Tree behind the Church of Bud will make most NPCs disappear from the game. You will no longer be able to advance their side questlines. The ones that remain in the game are Ymir & Jolán (found at Cathedral of Manus Metyr), Igon (found at Pillar Path Waypoint and then throughout Jagged Peak), Dragon Communion Priestess (found at Grand Altar of Dragon Communion until you defeat Bayle the Dread), Fire Knight Queelign, and Moore (he’s still there but his quest will fail). All other NPCs will be removed from the world. So if you have any unfinished side questlines do them now, it’s your last chance! You can still free-roam the world at any point after here, just the NPCs will disappear.
IMPORTANT – NPC Helpers for Endboss: It’s HIGHLY recommended to finish the questlines of St. Trina / Thiollier + Leda / Sir Ansbach. Then you can summon Thiollier and Sir Ansbach to help during the final boss fight. This makes it much easier. Without doing this you’d be on your own during the final boss fight which can make it nearly impossible to beat without overleveling or using game-breaking builds (it’s by far the hardest boss in the entire game).
- St. Trina & Thiollier Side Questline
- Sir Ansbach & Leda & Freyja Side Questline
- Dryleaf Dane Side Questline
- Moore Side Questline
- Igon Side Questline (can still be done after Point of No Return)
- Ymir & Jolán Side Questline (can still be done after Point of No Return)
- Fire Knight Queelign Side Questline (can still be done after Point of No Return)
- (Hornsent Side Questline – his questline autocompletes later during the Enir-Ilim section so don’t worry about this one)
Scadutree Fragment #47
Directly at Site of Grace: Spiral Rise. This is in Enir-Ilim after burning the Sealing Tree at Church of the Bud.
Scadutree Fragment #48
From Site of Grace: Spiral Rise, go upstairs and step out onto the roof. Go over the roof, you will encounter some bird enemies. Then go up the next staircase until you reach the next roof where an ice samurai enemy waits. Enter the room before the roof (before the samurai enemy) to find this on the altar.
Scadutree Fragment #49
One of the best hidden fragments in the game that requires going through a long jumping section across narrow ledges. From Site of Grace: Spiral Rise, turn around and go down the stairs until you reach the mage enemy casting lighting traps from the ground. To the left of him go down the staircase and straight across the hallway (don’t enter the room on right). You will reach a dead-end, the path is broken. You must drop down to the staircase below, you will see a blue glowing item on a corpse there. Go up these stairs and behind a chalice the railing is destroyed. Stand at the railing and look down and to the left to see arches leading to corpses with blue glowing items on them. You have to drop down to the ledge straight below the broken railing, from there jump over to the stone arches. Just before the corpse on the last arch, drop down the broken arch to the arches below. Walk/jump around the wall until you reach the a tower with a broken roof in front of you. Look down and jump to the statues on the side of the tower. Then walk around the side and drop down the broken floor to the staircase below, there’s another corpse with a blue item to indicate the path. From the corpse with the item turn right and you’ll see an open window below you on the side of the tower. Run and jump over there, landing in the window. This is a long and tricky jump. After this just drop down the window and walk outside, you’ll be attacked by a large scorpion and the Scadutree Fragment is on the altar in the middle of the plaza. There are also two elevators here, each leading to a different path (one leading to a hidden powerful sword).
Scadutree Fragment #50
Directly at Site of Grace: Cleansing Chamber Anteroom.

Please add a note that burning the tree/seal for fragment 47 will lock you out from side quests.
PowerPyx says
True, good idea. I had it in the main walkthrough & side quests page, but didn’t repeat it here. I’ve added a warning before Enir-Ilim section and also in Revered Spirit Ash Blessings guide 🙂
