For players just getting started in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, one of the first optional bosses in the DLC can give very useful rewards – but not everyone might be able to beat it right away. Adding new weapons, armor, spells, and talismans, Shadow of the Erdtree gives players plenty of new tools to use in their journey through the Land of Shadow, expanding heavily on the base game’s already-expansive arsenal. And, considering the DLC’s crushing difficulty, making good use of these tools may turn out to be vital for most players to find success.
