FAQs

Is Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Edition worth it? ›

That said, the DLC is quite good for those of us who do enjoy Elden Ring. It's huge, has some fun verticality + complexity in its exploration, has a s***-ton of content in terms of new gear + spells, and so on. Your mileage may vary on the bosses, but it's very hard to argue the expansion is objectively bad.

Editions and Pricing

- Deluxe Edition: Comes with the base game, DLC, digital artbooks, and soundtracks for £89.99/$99.99/€99.99. - Collector's Edition: Features a statue of Mesmer, a 40-page artbook, and the soundtrack (without the base game), priced between £224.99 and £249.99.

The Deluxe Edition for Shadow of the Erdtree includes the same digital soundtrack and artbook included in the standalone premium bundle but also includes a copy of the base game. This $99.99 DLC bundle is available from Xbox and PlayStation.

When focusing on the main objectives, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is about 25½ Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 48½ Hours to obtain 100% completion.

The Lands Between bomber has the entire map painted on and is undeniably beautiful, but the £875 price tag brings a tear to my wallet's metaphorical eye. The most expensive item in the collection is the Fur Runes Coat, and I'm assuming they skinned the Red Wolf of Radagon to justify the £1,400 cost.

It is entirely unsurprising that Shadow of the Erdtree is difficult. Elden Ring is difficult, and so this DLC – locked behind two of the base game's most challenging bosses – was bound to be a hurdle designed for the most dedicated fans. FromSoftware's approach to DLC has always been to cater to those hardened players.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is a paid DLC expansion for Elden Ring releasing on June 21st, 2024 on PC and consoles.

Preordering the premium edition of Shadow of the Erdtree

Shadow of the Erdtree is the long-awaited expansion of 2022's game of the year, Elden Ring. According to FromSoftware, this will be the only DLC for the game, giving Tarnished one last crack at the Lands Between.

Replacing the former ER Deluxe Edition, it includes both the base game and the expansion, but also adds in digital content for people who can't get enough of the artistry of the game. Specifically it includes the artbooks and soundtracks for both Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree.

How much does Shadow of Erdtree cost? ›

Those who want Shadow of the Erdtree must either purchase the DLC outright (PS5, Xbox One X, Steam) for $40, though new players can get combo packs of the base game and expansion for a discount.

Fromsoftware haven't held back with Shadow Of The Erdtree and it shows. Despite a few bugbears with bosses, the DLC is an enjoyable pseudo-sequel with all the hallmarks, fights, weird weapons, and memes from the main game that made it great. Highly recommended for Elden Lords looking for a hard-as-nails mini-campaign.

The recommended level for Elden Ring's Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC is 120-150. However, you don't need to be a certain level in order to access the DLC.

I recommend not starting a new game for Elden Ring's DLC and instead taking your existing character into Shadow of the Erdtree. This is primarily because the expansion is balanced around the endgame and having an endgame-level build. It's arguably worth doing if your existing character is in a New Game+ cycle, though.

It is entirely unsurprising that Shadow of the Erdtree is difficult. Elden Ring is difficult, and so this DLC – locked behind two of the base game's most challenging bosses – was bound to be a hurdle designed for the most dedicated fans.

Beware a big bump in difficulty, but Shadow of the Erdtree is a must-play for Elden Ring-fans. It improves on the base game in every way. The new Lands of Shadow are beautiful and a joy to explore, there are a lot of exciting new weapons and spells to find, and the new boss fights are absolutely epic.

Summary. Elden Ring's base game feels too easy after the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, making bosses underwhelming. Playing the DLC improved some gameplay skills, causing base game bosses to fall easily. Upcoming bosses in the base game may be disappointing, leading to mixed feelings about even completing the game.

And boy howdy were we right: in terms of pure area, The Realm of Shadow looks to be between one-third and half the size of the playable zone in The Lands Between, just comparing their two in-game maps.
