Elden Ring’s Shadow of Erdtree offers players a multitude of unique content to discover and explore. The game’s expansive offerings go beyond just a typical DLC, evident in the Paintings found scattered throughout the Shadow Realm.
In the Shadow Realm, there exist three Paintings that must be found and their exact location in the landscape must be determined. Upon doing so, rewards can be obtained from the spirit of the artist.
Where are the Paintings located in Elden Ring?
The three Paintings are located in different parts of the Shadow Realm. The specific locations of the Paintings are-
- The Incursion Painting is located in the Gravesite Plain. If you head south from the Cliffside Terminus Site of Grace, you will come across the artist’s shack.
- The Sacred Tower Painting can be found near the Scorched Ruins waypoint, with statues directing towards the cave where the painting is located.
- The Domain of Dragons Painting can be found in the Specimen Storehouse’s underground room in the Shadow Keep.
