The key to entering the Land of Shadow and beginning Elden Ring‘s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is to defeat Mohg, Lord of Blood . Potentially unfortunate for many players hoping to hop in on the DLC’s launch day is the fact that Mohg is something of a sequestered boss an optional fight in an optional late-game area. It’s entirely possible to beat Elden Ring without stepping foot in his arena, but there’s luckily an easy path to Mohg that may be of use if you never took on the Lord of Blood during the first go around.
