Here's our guide on how to get all Scadutree Fragments in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Likewise, please be reminded that this article contains spoilers.
All Scadutree Fragments Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Our Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Scadutree Fragments guide is organized based on regions. We start off at Gravesite Plain, followed by Scadu Altus. We then conclude the whole shebang by discussing item locations in late-game areas, such as the Absysal Woods and Enir-Ilim.

What are the effects of Scadutree Fragments
There are 50 Scadutree Fragments in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, and these increase your character's offense and defense. However, this buff is only active in DLC areas (i.e. the Realm of Shadow and not the Lands Between). Similar to Revered Spirit Ashes, upgrades can be done via Sites of Grace when you select the Shadow Realm Blessing option. Note that the item costs increase the higher the upgrade level.
Where are Scadutree Fragments usually found
Generally speaking, every Miquella's Cross tends to have a Scadutree Fragment. Apart from this, there are also a couple of enemy types that drop the upgrade material when they're slain. These are Hippopotamus-type beasts and Jar Carrier Spirits (you need to kill them before they drop the jar to ensure that you can loot the item). Likewise, the items might be found near or in front of statues with outstretched arms.
Scadutree Fragments - Gravesite Plain map
These are the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Scadutree Fragments in the Gravesite Plain region.

Gravesite Plain location 4
Go west from the Three-Path Cross and you'll arrive at the Main Gate Cross in front of Belurat Tower Settlement.
Gravesite Plain location 5
Once inside Belurat, continue advancing until you reach the rooftops with the Gravebirds. From there, you should see a narrow street and, to your right, there's some rubble next to a doorway. Check behind the rubble to find a well-hidden opening that leads to the Belurat Interior Cross.
Gravesite Plain location 6
From Belurat Main Gate Cross, look for a narrow path along the cliffside that takes you to the Cliffroad Terminus waypoint. Then, follow the dirt path to the southwest to reach this graveyard, which has a Jar Carrier Spirit.

Go south past the collapsed buildings in Moorth Ruins and check the rocky crags for a Jar Carrier Spirit. Watch out for the Ascetic/Curseblade that's lurking nearby.
Scadu Altus location 6
Follow the road south of Moorth Ruins, then hang a left once you see a dragon overworld boss. There should be a spiritspring near the base of the plateau. This lets Torrent jump high up into the air, allowing you to reach the Scaduview Cross at the end of the sloping path.
Scadu Altus location 7
From the Moorth Ruins checkpoint, go north until you see Glowy Worms around a pond. There's a statue just beyond. Note that the tunnel leads to Rauh Base, too.

Upon reaching Rauh Base, follow the path and river that leads to the southeast until you see the Temple Town Ruins. There's an opening at the southern wall, allowing you to enter the settlement.

Scadutree Fragments - Cerulean Coast, Charo's Hidden Grave, and Jagged Peak
These are the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Scadutree Fragments in the southern part of the map. You'll have to trek through rivers and caverns to reach Cerulean Coast/Charo's Hidden Grave, as well as the Dragon's Pit dungeon for the Jagged Peak.

Shadow Keep location 5
Once you've reached the loft area (via the alternate path), you'll come across a field with golden flowers. That's actually a boss arena. Instead of going straight ahead to encounter the boss, turn right to see a small room with a statue. This particular statue is fairly important, leading to Scaduview/Hinterlands.
Scadutree Fragments - Scaduview and Hinterlands map
Further north of Shadow Keep is a small region known as Scaduview. One particular spot here has a bunch of upgrade materials. To reach this place, you must go through the flooded alternate path, then ascend via the loft section of the fortress.
Scaduview and Hinterlands location (Scadutree Fragments x5)
After defeating the boss in the aforementioned golden fields, you should keep going to the northwest. There's a towering gate at the edge of the hill. Beyond it is the Scadutree Chalice, which has five Scadutree Fragments scattered all around.
Scadutree Fragments - Ancient Ruins of Rauh
These are the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Scadutree Fragments in the northwest part of the map. You have to make your way from Shadow Keep to reach the Ancient Ruins of Rauh.

Scadutree Fragments - Recluses River and Abyssal Woods map
More Scadutree Fragments can be yours once you unlock the secret region known as the Abyssal Woods. Beware of Madness Mutants--they're invulnerable, and you have to sneak past them.
Recluses River and Abyssal Woods location 1
From the Recluses River Downsteam waypoint, follow the path back the way you came to spot a Gravebird shrine. Use the ledges to continue climbing down until you see the winding river to your right. Follow it past the flower enemies and pick up this item at the base of the waterfall.
Recluses River and Abyssal Woods location 2
Upon reaching the second to the last section of waterfalls/plateaus leading to the Abyssal Woods, you should spot a couple of hippopotamus enemies. Take them out to get your rewards.
