Tangentially related, I played over 30 hours of Elden Ring before learning there were Map Fragments. The first one I found was way up north. I just assumed the world map was supposed to be dogshit.
I wasn’t happy for having gotten through without them, I was honestly just kinda pissed that they didn’t do some minimal nudging towards the first one.
The graces pointed me up the gulch to the north, after first pointing to the encounter with what’s-her-name. They did not at any time point at the map fragment. It wasn’t big and glowing, it was quite tiny when I finally went back to investigate.
Maybe something they’ve changed with patches 🤷🏻
Also it’s “marked” on the unrevealed map, but unless you know what the mark means, it doesn’t look anything like a map.

The first one is a big glowing item by a big stone marker that the graces point you to. It’s also marked on the unrevealed map.
