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.

Not nearly as good as the base game, only buy and play it for the lore. The map layout are messy and empty. Boss movesets are not the usual FromSoftware of 'Fun', it just feels off and designed as absurd as possible to

This dlc has a lot going for it, like the visuals, music, and level design. But the bosses are bad. The typical dlc boss design consists of the following elements: - AOE attacks that cover half the arena - chasing

Mediocre game with terrible AoE bosses that feels like made by some rookie indy studio. This DLC is a huge step back for Fromsoftware, miles away from masterpieces like Bloodborne, Sekiro and Dark Souls 3. I played this

CONTENT WARNING: Review might contain traces of sarcasm. Some people have complained that Elden Ring is just Dark Souls, but with an open world (which is exactly why I bought it). Can the DLC maintain this quality? Is

The final boss of the dlc ruined it for me, i basically 100%'d the entire map except for 1 scadutree fragment which means i can say that the difficulty jump between final boss and the rest of the game is unbelievable.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is FromSoftware proving that even after creating one of the biggest games of the decade, they still know how to push their own formula further. This expansion feels like a return to the
