But there’s one particular location that has fans stumped: the Scadutree Chalice.
This is a named location found after beating a specific boss, but it appears to serve no purpose.
What could it be?Spoilers follow.
Here players will find an enormous unlit stone chalice with five fragments scattered around it.
But finding five in one place?
That’s definitely unusual.
So what is it for?
My own, loose theory is that the chalice relates to the Scadutree fragments.
That’s obvious considering the name and the fact it overlooks the tree.
But is this where fragments are formed or their power distilled?
Or were fragments used here in some sort of ritual, hence so many being scattered nearby?
The people of the Erdtree collect the splinters and use them in prayer."
Is that prayer only at Sites of Grace, or this chalice too?
But so far, all to no avail.
Players on reddit have also been speculating, following apost from XSidsgothemX.
“There’s just no way its useless.
Others have tried lighting the chalice with different pots, but with no effect.
Is there a secret ending somewhere yet to be found?
Or maybe, just maybe, the chalice has no purpose beyond those five fragments.
And that, certainly, is reward enough.
Do you have any theories on what the Scadutree Chalice is for, or represents?
Scadutree Fragments are integral to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC as the primary method of character progression.
