Thanks to Bandai Namco for a review code for Shadow of the Erdtree.

Follow in the footsteps of Miquella the Kind. This walkthrough will take you through all content of the DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. This includes all bosses, NPC quests, dungeons, items, etc. Any content patched or overlooked will be added as a pinned comment.

The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion features an all-new story set in the Land of Shadow imbued with mystery, perilous dungeons, and new enemies, weapons and equipment.

Discover uncharted territories, face formidable adversaries, and revel in the satisfying triumph of victory. Dive into the riveting interplay of characters, where drama and intrigue intertwine, that create an immersive experience to savor and enjoy.

Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between.

• A Vast World Full of Excitement
A vast world where open fields with a variety of situations and huge dungeons with complex and three-dimensional designs are seamlessly connected. As you explore, the joy of discovering unknown and overwhelming threats await you, leading to a high sense of accomplishment.

• Create your Own Character
In addition to customizing the appearance of your character, you can freely combine the weapons, armor, and magic that you equip. You can develop your character according to your play style, such as increasing your muscle strength to become a strong warrior, or mastering magic.

• An Epic Drama Born from a Myth
A multilayered story told in fragments. An epic drama in which the various thoughts of the characters intersect in the Lands Between.

• Unique Online Play that Loosely Connects You to Others
In addition to multiplayer, where you can directly connect with other players and travel together, the game supports a unique asynchronous online element that allows you to feel the presence of others.

Welcome to Part 1 of the updated walkthrough. This first episode will take us into the gravesight plains and do most of the early content while holding off on bosses. We get plenty of Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ashes so it's suggested to watch the full episode.

[Supermac]

Not only did he scrap 14 episodes (at least) he comes back with a 40 minutes episode 1. Cowboy putting that work in for us.

[FightinCowboy]

For those confused why the 100% Walkthrough is restarting, Fromsoft made a bunch of undocumented changes including loot locations, new loots, modified weapons/spells, etc. Keeping the existing walkthrough up would have led to complications and potentially botched quests so it's been purged. All the notetaking for this updated series will be done on the current patch to ensure accuracy and the parts beyond 1-3 will be getting prepped up after I sleep.

*It's not clear what will drop from this Knight or why, you may get the Black Steel Greathammer or the Black Steel Greatshield either depending upon the version of the game you're playing on OR it might be random and whichever you get you will then get the other item from another Knight later on.

This is what makes Cowboy different from the others: integrity.

It's not about the views or who posted it first. To him, it's getting us through hell as painlessly and as effectively as possible. To him, it's quality over quantity.

This is why I went from "Oh hey, a Dark Souls Walkthrough I can follow" a few years ago, to "Oh hey, Cowboy is back with some amazing content...time to listen during my commute so I can kick ass like he does" today.

Keep doing what you do, Cowboy. Your community has your back and we appreciate every minute of your hard work.

[LuckIsMadeFF]

Shoutout to Cowboy for the best walkthroughs on the planet. 2 years ago, I couldn’t beat Maliketh and deleted the game. After coming across his channel, I decided to try again. Finally beat Maliketh and went on to platinum Elden Ring. One of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had in gaming. Thank you.

[VIVEK-ohjv]

bruh your dedication is fucking respectable

[Frothling]

the level of professionalism to scrape his past 14(?) videos to make sure everything is accurate is insane. worth every cent of that sub. thank you sir.

[HMR]

Cowboy, you really are the Bob Ross of Souls games!
The ‘keep calm and kill stuff’ and ‘happy little discoveries’ mentality has really made me get into these when they were very intimidating. With you from Demon Souls and you keep delivering again and again.
Thanks and keep it up mate.

[Tom-ecnh]

I really like watching these after I've gone through an area to see what I've missed.

[TJuice]

I bought Elden Ring in July of 2022. It was the first game I bought on my Xbox series X and I thought I made a mistake. As a last-ditch effort I decided to search YouTube for help and came across cowboy’s channel. Since then I achieved platinum for Demon Souls Remake, Dark souls 1, 2, and 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and of course Elden Ring, which was where it all started. If it wasn’t for FightinCowboy I’d of never understood how these games were meant to be played.
I’m doing a blind playthrough for Shadow of the Erdtree, then I’ll be following this guide on a fresh character.
Just wanted to comment my appreciate for opening my eyes to such an amazing video game genre! Thank you!

[mr_redbuster]

He's so reliable that even youtube recommended him.

[astroplays-]

I was so confused.. was watching the last one and it just stopped and wasn't available. Thank you for all you do bro, you are a god send

[morganmariex]

I'm SO glad you make these videos. I get so easily creeped out by Fromsoft games and you're walkthroughs always make it more easy for me to get through without stressing lol.

[vdbmario]

These walkthroughs are absolutely amazing. I missed so many items already in this area...can't wait for the next episode! Thank you

[HarderTime]

Past Rellana yesterday. Now watching this updated vid to make sure i didnt miss nothin. Missed two enemies!

Your desire for accuracy just makes me more of a fan of yours for gaming.

[GrantGoddard]

Thank you Cowboy. Your walkthroughs are excellent and starting this over makes it usable for years to come. You dropped this 👑

[BigLooDaddy]

Joined today. Very stoked to be here and I appreciate the dedication to restart and do this for us!

[yea_science_]

[justinjduggin]

I absolutely LOVE your Dedication Cowboy and can't thank you enough for the work you put in! You help so many of us in this community!
