The developers at FromSoftware have crafted a vast open area for you to explore freely \u2014 that world is called The Lands Between, and it play host to lots of boss battles and hidden secrets.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth stressing that you do start the game in a non-open area, on a set path that will teach you the basics, but the Elden Ring open-world is yours to explore after you\u2019ve completed that tutorial content.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How big is the Elden Ring map?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At this point, as players begin to explore the world and even reviewers are yet to have fully completed Elden Ring, the exact size of the Elden Ring map is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>We do know that the Elden Ring map features six main areas, and all of them look to be pretty massive. You start out in an area called Limgrave, but there is so much else to explore further afield.<\/p>\n<p>Although we can\u2019t say this with total certainty just yet, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to learn at a later date that the Elden Ring map is one of the biggest open-world areas that gaming has ever seen. But when some official info about the map size comes to light, we\u2019ll update this page.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Elden Ring map images<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\"

the rounds online, many of them are incomplete because not many people have finished the game yet at this stage.<\/p>\n<p>Over on the Elden Ring wiki created by Fextralife, however, you can find an <a

items or points of interest.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Elden Ring map fragments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering why your Elden Ring map looks greyed out and devoid of details in the game, that probably means you haven\u2019t yet found the map fragment that you need.<\/p>\n<p>Each region in Elden Ring has at least one map fragment that you\u2019ll need to find, each of which will flesh out your in-game map with all sorts of useful information.<\/p>\n<p>In the Limgrave area that serves as your first open-world hub in the game, the video below should help you find the east and west map fragments that will help you get around. You basically need to interact with a big obelisk to pick up each fragment.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;All\" limgrave=\"\" map=\"\" fragments=\"\" elden=\"\" ring=\"\" west=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FZBYowY6_K8?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<h2><strong>Elden Ring fast travel explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fast travel in Elden Ring is very simple, which is certainly very welcome news among players.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are into the open-world portion of the game, you will be able to fast-travel between any Site of Grace locations that you\u2019ve discovered.<\/p>\n<p>All you need to do to unlock each Site of Grace is get close to it \u2014 there\u2019s no puzzle to solve, battle to overcome, mini game to complete or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve unlocked a Site of Grace, you can travel to it at any time simply by selecting it from your map in the menu. Simples.<\/p> <h2><strong>How to summon a horse in Elden Ring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to get around the Elden Ring map a bit quicker, you\u2019ll want to unlock the Spectral Steed horse as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>To unlock the horse in Elden Ring, you need to visit a few Sites of Grace including the one at Gatefront Ruins. Once you\u2019ve added some Sites of Grace to your map and made your way to Gatefront Ruins, you should be able to meet a character named Melina.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve met Melina, she\u2019ll give you the Spectral Steed Whistle, an item that will let you summon your horse at any time. To summon your horse in Elden Ring, find the Spectral Steed Whistle in your inventory (it\u2019s classed as a Key Item), use it, and your trusty steed should appear.<\/p>\n<p>You can also equip your Spectral Steed Whistle as a Quick Item from the Equipment menu, which will allow you to whip it out with less faff in future.
