Elden Ring Interactive Map Reveals Locations of All Items & Upgrades
Players who are struggling to find specific items or locations in Elden Ring are in luck, as an interactive map for the game is now available. Elden Ring is the first of the Soulsborne series to embrace an open-world approach to its design, but this is a double-edged sword, as it's easy for players to get lost and miss crucial items.
One way in which Elden Ring's very big open-worldcan cause problems is with weapon upgrades. A lot of the weapons require numbered upgrade items to be used in the correct order. This means a weapon that uses Smithing Stones cannot be upgraded if the player doesn't have a Smithing Stone (2), even if they have a Smithing Stone (3). Players who want to upgrade their gear can easily waste hours scouring the overworld in search of the one item that they need to strengthen their weapons or shield. This is to say nothing of the other upgrade items that are spread all over the world, such as the Golden Seeds or Sacred Water that are needed to upgrade the Flask.

To combat this, the Elden Ring Wiki's interactive map (via NME) lets players select the specific things they want to see and they will appear. The map shows the locations of armor, Ashes of War, bosses, consumables, Flask upgrades, key, locations, maps, materials, NPCs, NPC invaders, shields, Sites of Grace, spells, Spirit Ashes,
