Key information
FromSoftware has released the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring, which is currently available at a discounted price. The expansion invites players to explore the Realm of Shadow, a new map described as a more lethal iteration of the Lands Between.
The expansion introduces new weapons to encourage build variety and implements Scadutree Blessings. These blessings are designed to enhance player attack power and damage negation specifically within the new region to help manage the increased difficulty.
The developer previously adjusted the final boss fight, which was deemed too challenging prior to the nerf. Despite these modifications, the expansion remains difficult, and the author notes that existing New Game+ saves may not adequately prepare players for the experience.
Shadow of the Erdtree is praised for addressing base game mysteries and providing a compelling narrative. The expansion currently holds an 85% positive rating on Steam, reflecting a generally favorable reception from the community.
