Elden Ring Map locations

Never find yourself lost in The Lands Between with this guide for the Elden Ring Map Locations, which are scattered across the world

Elden Ring Map Locations: The pillar which has a map location can be seen.

One of the biggest immediate changes between Elden Ring and the Souls games prior to it is that it gives players a map. What might seem trivial to a lot of people – as what game doesn’t have a map nowadays – but seasoned Souls addicts are far too used to the lack of guidance without one.

With Elden Ring, however, things are a bit different. Although the Souls games have been somewhat open-ended in places, Elden Ring presents to its players a frankly humongous open world, so a map is a necessity. That map in question isn’t just given to you though – you must find various Map locations scattered around the open world in the form of pillars, which are signified on the map, slowly unravelling pockets of The Lands Between for you to feast your eyes upon.

So, want to see the rich and detailed topography that the Lands Between? Read on for our list of Elden Ring Map Locations below. We will keep this guide updated as well find more.

ELDEN RING MAP LOCATIONS

Here is a list of every Elden Ring Map location that you can find in the open world, that reveals areas like Limgrave, the Weeping Penninsula, Liurnia, Dragonbarrow, and Leyndell the Royal Capital:

Limgrave, West Map location

The first Map location most players are likely to stumble upon is the Limgrave West Map Fragment. It is located right next to the Gatefront Ruins which is due north from key opening areas like Agheel Lake and Church of Elleh.

Limgrave, East Map location

The logical next step from Limgrave West is – you guessed it – Limgrave East. It is, of course, located directly east from the previous Map, found within Mistwood Forest.

Just a heads up though, there are some especially deadly bears hanging around this particular Map Fragment, so be careful not to get mauled to death. Sneaking is probably a good option.

Weeping Peninsula Map location

The map location for the Weeping Peninsula region is located in close proximity to the Golden Seed Location within the south on the road to Castle Morne.

In an open area just before the castle, where a stone giant is shooting arrows at you, you can avoid these and grab the map from the pillar directly on the path about a third of the way down.

Liurnia, East Map location

When initially entering Liurnia of the Lakes, the Liurnia East Map is the first one you’re most likely to find. Head down from the initial cliffs at the south of Liurnia until you reach the start of the titular lake. Slightly north from that point you will encounter the Liurnia East Map location.

Ainsel River Map location

The map location for Ainsel River can be quite tricky to find, as it requires traversing into an underground segment. Firstly, drop into the underground via Ainsel River Well found in the rock faces to the east in Liurnia of the Lakes.

Then, once underground, travel past Uhl Palace Ruins and the bug colonies to find a merchant and the Ainsel Ruins Map Fragment right by them. You will have to dodge the large creature firing arrows at you.
