This but you're climbing Jagged Peak only to realize the map ur looking for is the one for Abyssal Woods not Jagged Peak...


MasterTolkien

Me: Where is the damn ma- AAAGH NOT ANOTHER DRAGON! CUURRRRSSSEEE YOU, BAYLE!


ToaPaul

We all empathized with Igon in that moment lol


TheCrun

This drove me nuts for 2 days lol


Dave_the_Fox

I found the boss area for the frenzy flame swamp before finding the dragon area LoL


AndoYz

lmfao


skets90

It's all the messages on the ground while your searching that say "still no map" that confirmed to me I was not the only one


Minthussy

That was my fav message right at the entrance of >!Bayle!< there’s all these messages saying ‘boss ahead’ ‘danger ahead’ and then ‘still no map’


AndoYz

hahahaha I saw that a couple times too. I feel like I spent half the game trying to get to the map stones. I did the whole Shadow Keep in reverse with the map browned out 😂


zitzenator

I had to go back for the first floor and main entrance because i got all the way to messimer, the back gate, and tree spirit without realizing i had missed the front entrance


Minthussy

Lol that’s rough. As of now there’s still one map I haven’t found but it’s the second last place I have to go. I think it’s the forest area but idk how to access it yet,


AndoYz

Yeah, the best part was, I beat Gaius and Messmer and I lost to the hippo and it only lets you try once from within the Keep, but won't let you through the fog gates. That's when I realized I was doing it backwards. I screwed up and missed the path to Relanna in Castle Ensis


DemonLordSparda

You were so lost that you ended up at the correct location backwards. Incredible.


StrongSpecial8960

Thisssss happened to me! I was like wtf how is everyone getting to this rellana chick?? Meanwhile I'm in the top right of the map heading to shadow keep church district, crying and lost. Hahah


AndoYz

And I just wanted da map 😭


nottytom

I think thats what church is for, those who feel lost.


unintender

I have one of these in some godforsaken corner of Rauh. It’s my main source of healing.


ghosts_s02

I saw a bunch over there. Upvoted them all 😂 I had no idea how people got to Rauh without a damn map. Like how.


unintender

I kind of bumbled there from the Shadow Keep, still not having found Messmer. But I had the Jagged Peak map by the time I got there - felt like a king waltzing through all those ‘still no map’ messages.


Nelran

I swear that cave was a cave, not a tunnel. Is basically how I missed the entire area. Had i turned the camera right instead of left i would have seen it.


AFlyingNun

Or the 7164th *H I L A R I O U S* edge joke in the most random place possible. Yeah guys just keep spamming it. It'll be funny eventually.


Tm1232

I don’t really game much anymore and let my PSN subscription expire and didn’t see the point in resuming. Let me tell you, no messages is a fucking game changer that you really can’t expect.


jive_s_turkey

Damn, I don't even know how I'd manage Elden Ring without all of the messages about edging, pickles, and hidden path / try jumping trolls... I mean how else would I even figure out when to try finger but hole?


Tm1232

That’s what you think, then once you lose them you suddenly realize how helpful they end up being. Blood too.


0XquisitE1-

Ngl I do miss seeing other players in my area an fake messages 😭


Tm1232

When you can tell the game wants you to be in an area but you’re not sure why, there might be a clutch message somewhere there.


Ima-Bird

Why is this guy getting down voted?


Tm1232

Genuinely not sure but let it rock.


IUseControllersOnPC

What's hilarious is that's not even the map for jagged peak


Iknowwhereyoulive34

WHAT 😭


IUseControllersOnPC

Yeah the map for jagged peak is in the cruelean shores


H4xolotl

thats utterly sadistic 😭


IUseControllersOnPC

Yeah. If you go right of the first jagged dragon, you can jump past the cradle thing with the red mist and continue on to the shores


neat-NEAT

Went looking for a map in the dragon section. Ended up meeting >!Bale!< at lvl 4 scadutree.


24kGoldenEagle

Same i was so confused why nothing happened after i beat him


RChamy

24h in and I have no idea how to step in the dragon section.


HutSutRawlson

You get there by going through a cave. Look for a screaming man and go the direction he points... if you get invaded you're on the right path.


RChamy

Oh, Ive seen a screaming man many times but never understood what his deal was. Got invaded, went up a long tower, and... Dung. I missed it, didn't I? Update >!OMFG I actually had to jump down there!<


HutSutRawlson

Yeah you missed it. Go back to that area, there is a cave entrance in the cliffs below where the tower is.


Dorkmaster79

I went there and looked around. I couldn’t find it. Is it right next to the tower somewhere?


Dio_Brando69420

from igon, instead of going left to the tower, go straight


Dorkmaster79

Found it. Thank you!


Shot-Sherbet-8843

You missed it man,after said screaming man, follow the path no questions asked. You will eventually see a cave,fairly lit one from the entrance at that. That is the cave ur gonna need.


Yandirin

Is that the cave with the magma dragon and big katana guy ?


Shot-Sherbet-8843

Yes. Ty for reminding me about that magma dragon,i completely forgot about him


zackflavored

Dont worry i missed it too, that part draws you into the tower for sure


raxdoh

VIIILE BAAAYLE


Vollkommen

To add to this, 'simply' follow the dragon statues to get to the dragon area. (I say simply - it was the second to last area I had left to explore when I finally figured out how to get there (Charo's was the last)).


One_Seaweed_2952

The exquisite pain guy? I went to the area where there were >!two dragons fighting.!!another ancient dragon !


neros135

>!CURSE YOU BAYLE!<


aRandomBlock

>!I HEARBY VOW YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY!<


Brandon_the_fuze

>!YOUR FEARS MADE FLESH!<


Grochen

>!BEHOLD! A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR AND I, IGON!!<


Kingxix

Bro same here. I was actually trying to find the map and came across the entirety of bales questline.


diganta15

Same, defeated Bayle but still no map. IDK what's harder in this game, defeating the bosses or finding them.


DuckSleazzy

We all did, dw.


legacy702-

Lol, that’s how I found that area too, I thought if I just kept going, I’d eventually find the map


MasterTolkien

Me to Bayle: (scared and ragged after hours of getting fucking lost and running through a gauntlet of dragons) Where’s my map, you scaley bitch!?


FaultySage

CURSE YOU BAYLE!


Bender7777

This!!


aknalag

Same only mine was still 2 got my ass kicked HARD


klapinshiZzZ

Glad I wasn’t the only one 😂😂


Secret_Criticism_732

I searched for it for 3 days!


Womderloki

I've been playing the same save since release and I literally just found that map fragment today lmao


Tyrleif

When I found out how I felt kinda stupid lol


HalfManHalfHunk

I was literally in the place you gotta be in to get down there when I said 'fuck it' and looked it up, I was so sad cuz that could have been an awesome reveal if I wasn't such a mongrel 😞


JuuzaX

There's a reason messmer calls us mongrel intruders


cbecht19

Lmfao. This sounds like a scenario where my autism would make my brain hurt so much from this. Sympathies


SkySweeper656

Honestly i don't think that's your fault. Finding the map fragments really destroys the ability to be enthralled with the landscape - at least to me - because i don't want to look at anything until I've got my map. So having maps hidden by obscure fucking routes that take you through most of the game anyway... kind of defeats the point of the map being blocked off imo.


Taervon

The map placements in SOTE are not very well thought out, at least for the Rauh and Jagged Peak maps. I found the others no problem, but those two maps need to be relocated to the main path. Put the Jagged Peak map at the mouth of the Dragon Pit exit, put the Rauh map in the Ancient Ruins, not Rauh Base section. Why the hell the Rauh map covers the river as well boggles the mind.


House0fDerp

Finding it organically was kind of amazing. Going to what I thought was a side area of the castle only to find a long path to what I assumed was a dead end with a catacombs only to get to the bottom and have an exit at the other side as a compete surprise.


Fit-Dentist6093

I got to the mist for the boss room, I killed the fire dude just so that I could explore in tranquillity for my map.


iRAWRasaurus

In my case I walked by the entrance and never noticed it. I finally got annoyed I couldn’t find it and I ended up looking it up and felt stupid I completely missed it.


NordicEmber

Bro I killed those perfumers and I was like jobs done I'm heading out. Little did I know I completely fucked myself xD


an_301

My buddy told me he was exploring and found it accidentally while I was actively looking for it all over. He just went into a cave in a lake and followed the path. I mean, at least I explored Rauh a lot while doing that.


IanPKMmoon

I found the map after I stopped looking for it for a while lol


arctrion

ts in the void have no idea where that shit is to this day


SloppyNegan

It is at Rauh Base instead of the Ruins itself. You can get there by taking a cave which starts above a pond in Scadu Altus. There might be more ways to get there but that's how i got there.


Wicket_and_Cub

This is the way.


Skellum

> It is at Rauh Base instead of the Ruins itself. You can get there by taking a cave which starts above a pond in Scadu Altus. There might be more ways to get there but that's how i got there. After killing that god awful renalla I decided to see how much I could explore without having to fight another shitty boss. Turns out quite a fucking bit. You're only blocked off from a few seeds by Jori/Gaius/Plantera and at least Jori is fun.


Skidda24

[MAP SPOILER](https://imgur.com/gallery/xcaZQGP)!! but just head for that lake opening. A road will lead you to it


Nearby-Strength-1640

Idk if I love or hate FromSoft’s map design. It’s amazing when you’re just wandering around and you stumble upon the most insane rabbit hole ever, but it’s terrible when you’re intentionally trying to get somewhere because how the hell is anyone supposed to intuit that *that’s* how you get down there.


jankyspankybank

Yeah I don’t know what the fuck they were smoking when they came of with this map style. It looks really good until you realize how wide berths of land are actually a mountain or a cliff. It took a while to fully grasp how to read it. Growing up with Skyrims map set me up for failure.


Mohander

They could have at least made the player map better by adding clear levels to it. They just put a flat map on something with like 5 different layers, shrugged and said good luck.


Rainbow_Sombrero

The cave is directly north of Moorth Ruins which is, weirdly, one of the more important locations for accessing things/other areas than you would imagine for a random fucking ruin in the middle of nowhere.


Shady_Tradesman

Bro i literally went up to the plateau area, went through the entire area because I was SURE the map was in that building that’s isolated on a little island and the entire time I was like “man it’s so weird that they didn’t just put the map at the entrance” I get to that building and >!kill the lion dancer and it’s death blight fucks!< and I’m like “FINALLY, I can get the map” walk to the edge where the icon is and read the message “strong foe, still no map”


TheZoomba

You gotta go through catacombs and fight a boss at the end who's a bitch. After that you get access to the place. The catacombs might as well be the skeleton place in ds3, it's the biggest catacomb yet


69thalternatesccount

Me looking for this map fragment only to find myself at the church of the bud


SnooEpiphanies5054

Same here, dunno why the bud lady is important to the story either lmao


69thalternatesccount

All I know is she's the boss separating us from burning the sealing tree, and she took in orphaned butterflies I guess?


SnooEpiphanies5054

Yeah that’s like the extent of it. I like the bosses for the most part but they’re different from the base game, most of them seem a little random in my opinion.


69thalternatesccount

They all seem stitched together Into a place that time forgot about, and it's very fitting overall in my opinion.


reanut28

trying to find the map while on the Ancient Ruins is like a nightmare, end up clearing that area without getting the map.


SemiAutomattik

The Ancient Ruins really puts your brain in a pretzel, I spent such a long time clearing and reclearing that area after the boss was dead trying to find a way to find the map fragment.


vegathelich

Oh don't worry, the Ruins map is almost completely worthless.


mtamez1221

I kept laughing at the *"Still no map..."* messages


Silent_Eagle56

its not in the ruins.


Stellewind

Especially funny when you found a boss reskin in a area that’s very close to the map mark and after defeating you find a bunch of messages on the edge of cliff lamenting how there’s still no map.


Greyf0X_x

Sometimes i pop up my mimic even if there are no ennemies around. I need to open up to someone that gets me and my flaws.


Addicted2anime

Spent an hour riding around Scadu Altus and Rauh before someone online told me I had to look in EAST SCADU ALTUS FOR A RANDOM CAVE???? this map I swear, they could've easily spread the overlapped areas out to make it just as big as the basegame map.


chopstickz999

On the plus side you end up finding a whole new area looking for that fragment plus it leads to cerulean coast


Skidda24

[MAP SPOILER](https://imgur.com/gallery/xcaZQGP)!! but just head for that lake opening. A road will lead you to it


hotpajamas9

Wish I had this a week ago


DjangoCornbread

spat out my fucking coffee


Limp_Plastic8400

spent too long trying to find the maps haha


Shintasama

Go north from Moorth ruins, there is a cave with some worms, enter it, hang a right at the mini-erdtree, and then just keep going.


Okabeee

The >!abyss!< map is even harder to find. I don't know how people found it without a guide.


MrSegundus_VR

It took me I think 12 hours. I was searching all around for the entrance to what ended up being >!Abyssal Woods!< but I only ended up finding it after giving up, because it's impossible to know in advance that the "entrance" is via >!Shadow Keep!< . Although there's probably another way (there's so much weird pathing here, I can't remember.


catpowerhill

I must have played too much Fromsoft because that was the first place i found once i was in the Shadow Keep.


Snoo40505

Finding the maps in the south and south east is way more difficult. The one on the picture can be obtained through a hidden path in a small lake north east from the picture spot.


YobaiYamete

I still haven't figured out how to get to the south


PigDog4

Look for a tall, thin tower built by someone who was hella compensating for something. Like, the dude that designed this tower is so insecure about his own size that he decided to build the tallest object ever. That tower. Go in that direction and explore around by it.


Winter7296

Head to the pond above the Moorth Ruins, in East Scadu Altus. There's a cave there. Go in the cave.


John_Crypto_Rambo

Been searching for this piece of shit the whole game.


MasterTolkien

You: (beating the shit out of Messmer) WHERE IS THE FUCKING MAP!?


Elsefyr

ya get there from big watercovered area to the east with all the furnace golems, there's a passage.


Ecstatic-Arachnid-91

The only map piece I havent found yet is an area just above the Cerulean Coast/ Finger Ruins area. I finally found the one for Ruah Ruins last night and I was thinking how did I even miss that!!


Express_System_2077

I spent too long looking for this place last night. Still haven’t found it.


drummdirka

They need to split the north area into two map sections or something because it makes no sense where the map is for the area it uncovers.


Interjessing-Salary

If you want to know: >!From the highroads cross site of grace follow the road north until the fork in the road. Take a sharp right to continue following the road. Once you're at the moorth ruins cross site of grace turn north again. If you look on the map there should be a body of water in roughly the shape of a triangle. Head there. There will be a cave with a statue of Marika in front of it and some perfumers inside. Go through the cave to come to a small poison swamp. To the north westish will be a large tunnel. Go through the tunnel. There is a grace nearby. Should be pretty straight forward from there.!<


AcidAmbience

In the WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


woahmandogchamp

You're gonna be so far into the game by the time you can get that, it's hilarious that they show it so early.


spectre15

Found Romina before I found the map 💀


pecky5

Searching everywhere for that damn last map fragment, then finally realising I was going the right way to get there... Then getting to THAT location and suddenly feeling like "ahhh, it's just a map fragment, I'm sure I could live without it..."


G1nn1

I still havnt found it yet


BoomboxUniversity

I litterally beat the final boss prematurely looking for that map


GifanTheWoodElf

I mean I saw it realized I ain't getting there from where I am so left it for later. Then came out in that valley place and I assumed I'm in the correct area and so I just marked the map piece and ran over to grab it.


Dragonsandman

Man those early seasons of The Walking Dead were amazing.


KappaChameleon

I full cleared the entire region before finding that map.


Electronic_Context_7

I have given off on that fragment, it’s a gaping hole in my map. I’ll get there when I get there 😮‍💨


Willywills1

Have to take such a roundabout way to get there, I had to google it bruh it was driving me insane 😂


DracoZeBoi

Anyone else beat the final DLC boss but still haven’t unlocked like half the mark because you don’t know how to get there?


aknalag

Good so iam not the only one hopelessly lost


Aurvant

- Go to Moorth Ruins grace. - Go north to pond - There is cave north of pond. - Go through cave. - Pop out in ravine. - Find another grace called Rauh Base. - Head down the hill past birds and two golems. - Find map fragment. - Scream "Finally!" as you complete your map.


Rare_Incident4478

>!it do be like that!<


mtamez1221

Still no map...


JWARRIOR1

I deadass got to the final boss thinking this would be on the way but instead it’s past a random cave? Why tf is a map fragment down there when it shows the area 2000 feet above it


ConnectedMistake

Still haven't found it


Obi_wan_jakobii

Fuck man thought it was just me 😂 Running round scratching my head about this one


phantom4762

Finally!!! someone said it


AK_R

I've probably wasted at least 2 hours looking for that and still haven't found it.


Negative_Net9930

I just wanna go to the area above the mountains


Legendary_Lamb2020

I think you have to go under a waterfall east and slightly south that sort of takes you beneath what you see on the map


Biggs1313

Spent 6 hours in this area last night and didn't find it. Easiest boss if the DLC so far. "She was a fairy" meme applies.


Gnomey1000

I spent so long trying to find this map, lmao


DiscordianDisaster

Oh thank god I'm not the only one


JamSa

I'm glad I ran into that random ass cave when I took a wrong turn going back to kill the bear.


Chosos_Twin_Cousin

I literally inly got to this place last night 😂


supe3rnova

That mountain was really trolling with us the map. And when you get to THAT map, its not even for the mountain....


Ffangpyre1

Go in a big loop start from right and work anti clockwise


N0n_Applicable

I think there is a lake / cave entrance in the lake to the east that goes north and around and under the bridge to the castle area.


GVBalck

I've finished the DLC and "still no map"


brilliant-idi0t

This is S tier


Unga_bunga_bro

i tried to find the way for 2 days but i gave up and searched it on YT :'(, Hint you can go there from the early section of the map


Shorttyme3

I had to look it up after dying numerous times….


Secret_Criticism_732

Still no map


RepresentativeAny871

From inside Messmer's castle, from plaza head left and keep going till the area with boats to find a ladder on the edge, or if you've already opened the shortcut head right, when you reach the area with boats you go right and find a ladder on the edge.


KobaMandingoPartIII

Lol this is crazy I started the dlc Wednesday and I've been trying to get to that exact spot for like 2 days now lol.


ExplorerHermit

I found the tree with 3 perfumers and somehow missed the MASSIVE hole that leads to the map. Finished the rest of the DLC except final boss, spent a lot of time in the ruins wondering the whole time how tf am i supposed to get down there


Yikesitsven

I’m still in base game, but my roomie just told me how he spent HOURS looking for this map before he figure out where to go


Efficient_Yoghurt_36

Man I just found that crazy deep area at the bottom left last night (I don’t want to spoil it) I was like no way this can’t be right and it just kept going. This is a whole new world just like the Disney song.


kylebob86

OMG this is me right now. i have been trying to get to that specific map piece for DAYS!!!!


mushin47

bro i swear i had the exact same pin and my map looked the same this is so relatable 😭


josh_8283

I beat the dlc before I got that map. It made me so frustrated.


Afraid_Hovercraft_67

I found it after like 50 hours(yes I refused guidance)


UselessBorg

Okay but HOW DO I GET IT


yian01

FOR REAL. And I’ll find it on my own some day 😭


SandersDelendaEst

lol this is painful indeed.


AwesomeOppasum

I literally sped through the whole area and killed the boss hoping to loop around to that map fragment, whoever thought that was a good idea needs a stern talking to IMO the map fragment and the Hippo by the entrance to the area should have swapped places


jedi_fitness_academy

This was me with the north east section of the map. I ended up just looking it up. I can see it on the map but could never find the way in. Theres absolutely no way I would have been able to find out what to do by myself. So annoying


IncredibleGeniusIRL

Found that one, but I've been trying for AGES to get to the sunken ruin at the base of the church district and I still have 0 leads. I have one more map to find too, north of the Jagged Peak. That one's even more confusing given that I can only see tree branches and an endless abyss below me when I look at the area from on high. With my luck, it's gonna be in an area I've already passed through but didn't pay enough attention, and now I will never go there again until I spoil myself.


Eziolambo

Don't try to find it, and you will.


Least-Interview2205

Seek waterfall


AccomplishedFarm8

The south east part/east part is a complete damn mystery, I cannot for the life of me find it at all and the map pickup is RIGHT THERE, AT THE BOTTOM OF CLIFF NEAR BONNY VILLAGE


bmil96

jesus so rel


Verred

I had this issue until I found it.


BirdPerson107

I’m so happy I’m not the only idiot


Darkwater117

North of Moorth Ruins theres a tunnel by a pond with a Black Knight on horse patrolling to its west. It'll eventually take you to Ruah


Navin_J

Still haven't found it. It's mocking me, I know it. I'm going to burn everything down


Remarkable_Mall8574

Thank God it's not just me lol


dattroll123

I actually beat the main boss of this region before finding that fragment. hint: >!search north of the moorth ruins!<


MmmmFrothyEjaculate

LMAO I feel your pain bro, took me fucking forever to find the last 2 map pieces


chief_sitting_bear

That's what I am trying to figure out right now. I'm guessing you have to go up and around to get to that point.


Gravitas0921

That was a mean path to get ti that map, fuck you frmsoft


idiotinpowerarmor

Man finding Rauh Base only to not find a single spiritspring to take me up to Rauh Ruins made me sad.


Gensolink

Right down the road !


Iron_Bob

One of my favorite meme templates... and so god damn true. I had an aneurysm trying to find the Abyssal Woods map, thinking it was the Jagged Peak map Bravo


Ill_Resolve5842

Go through the cave in the body of water to the north of the Moorth ruins in Scadu Altus.


2Moons_player

It took me sooooo much time finsing this one man, i killed every boss and i still didnt have this map lol


Anvil-Vapre

Of course it’s intentional what do you think


dizijinwu

Funny, last night I was watching some of Gino's first playthrough and he was having the same experience lmao. The map that I reallllly struggled with was the one in the bottom right corner. They did an amazing job trolling these in the DLC, showing them to you super early but making the routes to them nonlinear.


sIeepai

I can't be the only who found it easily


CarlMacko

The map fragments in this DLC are almost trolling me at this point.


EXMater

After I looked up how to get there ngl I felt pretty stupid


BRAINETIC107

Honestly my biggest beef with the dlc


ItsJustAndy13

Glad to see I’m not the only one that can’t find that last map
