Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ashes are Shadow Realm Blessings that buff your character and summons even more—but only on the DLC map. It's a must to collect these to strengthen your character enough to progress through the DLC area, as normal rune-levelling will, often times, not be enough.
How to Use Shadow Realm Blessings
As of Ver. 1.12.2, Scadutree Blessings will give big increases to your damage and damage negation in the DLC when upgrading from blessing levels 1 to 12. After hitting Level 12, gains will be much more gradual, allowing you to collect the remaining fragments at your own pace while exploring the Realm of Shadow.
Scadutree Blessing Scaling Explained
There are 5 regions in the Realm of Shadow, corresponding to the 5 different Map Fragments.
Realm of Shadow DLC Interactive Map
There are a total of 5 map fragments to collect in the DLC. You can get all but the Abyssal Woods Map Fragment (#5) before fighting your first DLC boss!

DLC Requirements |
---|
Defeat Radahn Defeat Mohg Interact with Cocoon of the Empyrean at Mohgwyn Palace Note: Beating the base game is not required |
To start the DLC, you need to defeat the bosses Radahn and Mohg. Radahn is the fifth base game boss in terms of difficulty order, but you only need to defeat at least one previous boss in order to access him at Redmane Castle.
The 1 boss you're recommended to defeat before Radahn is Margit the Fell Omen in Stormveil Castle, since he's the first boss. Although, it's recommended to be at least Level 70 when fighting Radahn to stand a good chance.
Mohg is an optional boss located at Moghywn's Palace and it's recommended to be at Level 120 to defeat him. The fastest way to Mohgwyn Palace is to White Mask Varre's questline, where you'll receive the Pureblood Knight's Medal, which will take you to Mohgwyn Palace once consumed.
