In Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Scadutree Fragments are consumables that can permanently strengthen the main character, which significantly facilitates the passage of the Kingdom of Shadows. Some of them are located in open areas, while others are hidden inside dungeons and secret locations. In this guide, we will tell you how to find all these items in order to level up your character to the maximum.
How to use Scadutree Fragments in Shadow of the Erdtree
Thanks to these materials, you will be able to increase the level of the blessing of the Tree of Decadence, and each new level will give you two extremely useful bonuses:
- Increase all damage dealt to enemies.
- Increase the hero's resistance to all types of damage.
Considering that the enemies in the expansion are much stronger than in the original, we highly recommend that you try to collect all the fragments. Let's add that the above buffs only apply within the Realm of Shadows, that is, in Between-Earth their effects will immediately disappear.
If we talk about the use of fragments, then everything is quite simple. Find the nearest place of grace and take advantage of it. Then click on the section "Blessing of the Shadow Realm"
and select the function in it "Blessing of the Tree of Decadence"
. Your current level will be indicated in brackets.
In total, you can upgrade this parameter to level 20 by spending 50 Blight Tree Shards. If at first it takes 1 shard to raise one level, then in the end you will have to spend 3 materials.
Where to find Scadutree Fragments in Shadow of the Erdtree

Decadence Tree Shard 3
Reach or move to a place of grace "Charred Ruins", and then ride east to the gravestones near the cliff. To the left you will find a shadow carrying a pot on its head - you need to kill it before it disappears. The thing you need will fall out of it.
Blight Tree Shard 4
Reach or move to a place of grace "The Cross of Three Roads", located in the north of the Tombstone Plain, and then turn around and you will see the item you need near Mikella's cross. Here you can also talk with Freya and other characters.

Once at the top, turn left and go down, then go into the alley ahead and turn right again to the ruins of the building.
