How to Prepare for Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

How to Prepare for Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC
In this Elden Ring Expansion Checklist Guide, we’re going to be talking about how to prepare for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. We’ll be asking you the important questions such as what you want to do with your character? Do you want to create a new character? Or would you rather use an existing character when you go into the DLC?

We’ll also discuss why you might want to start New Game Plus, why you might want to start over fresh with a new character, and some of the things you should probably do before you enter the DLC area.

Who else has a platinum trophy for this game

I like Cowboy’s strategy of going in really high level on NG+ and try to do an every man build to be able to try all the weapons

[femloh]

I think you missed defeating Radahn as well. I read somewhere that might be necessary for the DLC access as well.

[nejiefelipe]

I think it's worth to mention seing that the new area is "the shadow lands" holy damage builds might raise up in value...

Your Elden Ring videos are the best! As someone who isn’t a gamer and never knew of FromSoftware games until ER, your videos have been extremely useful as I make my slow painful but enjoyable grind through my first ER play through. (I’m just now to the capital outskirts and windmill area after around 90 hours.)

I’m a role player through-and-through. I will likely not worry about getting there early or late. I will get there precisely when I mean to get there.

Great video, nice to see ER cropping up again on the Fextra account. FYI, Miyazaki stated in an interview that Mohg's boss is indeed where you access the DLC.

I am at a new game + 4, I collect everything I'm ready for anything, about time this winter is coming. 😎

[ddangho]

Gonna make a character that kept Melina and Malenia alive just to see if they'll have any special dialogue. Maybe even progress Ranni's quest up to the point of beating Radahn since defeating Radahn is one of the prerequisites of the DLC.

[Sbart]

Decided to start a new game with my primary character build. Hopefully by the time the dlc comes out I'll be ready for it

[JarisJ_]

I was already preparing for NG+ and gathering all the weapons/spells/incans I wanted. Then helldivers 2 came out and haven’t been back on it since. This reminded me I need to finish my own check list

[daniel]

Miyazaki already confirmed that the entry to the dlc is indeed through Miquella's withered arm

[chubbybehemth]

I'm taking my lvl 200 faith/strenght build into the DLC. Can't wait to see those new incantations!

[ShawnMartinez]

Another good tip if you haven’t done so already. Get the Walking Mausoleum’s prepped because we’re most likely going to have a few more remembrance bosses. And it’s best to have them all knocked down and ready so you can go back to them and duplicate to get both items from the DLC remembrances. I’m also level 526 on NG+8. It’s gonna be a hell of a time 😂😂

As someone who just finished the main story on their 1st playthrough ( using your Nebula Knight build !!!! Which beat the Fire Giant 1st try !!!! ) I appreciate this information. I missed a lot along the way especially in the late game and was wondering if I should start NG +1. This video convinced me to stay in my current game and really sweep all the zones for these items I am missing :) Thank you for your hard work !

[thecrazysandshrew]

I just started a new character and play through the game again and up to Level 150 and go into the DLC with it first. Then i will go with my original character on Level 350 on NG +3 which has every weapon x2, armor and talisman and is ready to upgrade around 50 weapons to +24 to get all the stuff from the DLC and try out new weapons.

[DirtyK]

This was the exact video I wanted to see as I left off right in the middle of a NG+ run about a year ago

[MuseInkGaming]

I will be falling into the NG+ bucket, from when I last played. May Messmer have mercy on my soul 😭. Great vid btw

[calebriley]

I’m an idiot and went to new game plus…before downloading dlc. Now I have to do everything all over again. 334 hours gone.
