Description


Shadow of the Erdtree is an expansion to ELDEN RING, the 2022 Game of the Year.
Dark and intense, Shadow of the Erdtree has players continue their quest with the freedom to explore and experience the adventure at their own pace.

• New immersive areas rich with secrets


The Realm of Shadow has been kept apart from the Lands Between since its creation. Now, in pursuit of Miquella, the Tarnished are among the first souls to set foot here in unknown ages. Traverse new open field areas to reach dense new legacy dungeons full of hazards and undiscovered mysteries.

• Powerful and challenging enemies


Dangers both great and small will provide a formidable challenge for any player in the Realm of Shadow. New enemies roam the open areas and horrifying new monsters lurk in caverns and hollows, waiting to ambush the unaware. Anyone capable of surviving these intense battles will know the rush of true victory.

• New weapons, spells, and armor to enhance your unique character


Many new powers can be found in this scorched realm: weapons and armor, sorceries and incantations, and spirits and skills. You may find something unexpected to surprise an enemy, such as Thrusting Shields that combine offense and defense. Or, you may find something to complement your combat style, like hand-to-hand combat that combine palm strikes and kicks without a weapon.

• Learn the untold story of an unseen war as you follow in Miquella’s footsteps


You aren’t the only one tracking Miquella through the Realm of Shadow, and as you press deeper and deeper into the mystery, you’ll find a complex interplay of personalities and motivations to navigate, giving you new insight into Miquella’s history and Marika’s hidden past.

Do not recommend. Runs badly even on new hardware. Bosses are way too overtuned for what they should be. Most of them are downright unplayable unless using a meta build or exploiting/cheesing them in some way. Worse

I adore the base game even with its nature making me spend 2 hours every new playthrough just collecting upgradeables. DLC is just plain mediocre. Upgrade system is amputated - what was 5ish different upgrade systems is

Miyazaki is one senile old bastard if he thought this DLC was worth releasing. I am just glad it's over. I killed a demon child and a roll catching monster for a cutscene with like three lines of dialogue. I killed a

- Bloated empty map - Full of recycled terrible base game mobs/reskins - Another nothing-burger story with empty ending - New enemies are absolute cancer if your weapon doesn't stagger stun-lock with every hit + New

I'm still on the fence about this, because on the one hand this game is genuinely the most beautiful game I've played in years, and not even just by graphics alone. Its overall concept for worldbuilding is stunning and
