  • 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.

      brother, we already know for sure that miquella's hand is the passage to the land of shadow, it was said in an interview AND in the trailler there is a part where "someone" says to the player to touch the hand of miquella and go to the land of shadow(or something structured like this)

      This will be interesting to see. Messmer is probably a child of Marika/Radagon, so he may have high Holy resistance, but I can see most of the enemies in the DLC having less Holy resistance

    • @travihuncho
      @travihuncho 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I doubt it, Faith only does more significant damage to enemies that were living in death inside the lands between. The shadow realm is for those you died and/or traveled there and are living in their normal bodies in spirit inside that dimension. It’s not going to be entirely full of death, if anything quite the opposite imo. I’m sure Faith will have its uses though, they won’t completely make any attribute non usable.

      Yh he basically said that the DLC will sort of (KIND OF) reset (MAYBE) all players into base stats for the DLC only.
      Meaning, people will have the same experience in the DLC as they would in Limgrave-Altus Plateau. A common critique of souls games is that their late games have no progression at all, you are simply fully geared up and have little to no need to level up because of how everything is scaled similarly in a lategame of a Fromsoft game.
      This new mechanic should give ppl that feeling of Limgrave-Altus progression, but instead in a lategame area.
      (TL;DR - DLC will play like early-game Elden Ring with lategame difficulty, and so you wouldn’t need to worry about over-levelling/under-levelling )

      I kinda doubt it but I’m hoping we get an extra talisman slot for this. Looks like there could be space and feels like that would be a great additional reward for the dlc. I always love upgrades that help your character grow or do more in some way other than just new weapon or armor (which yeah is also fun and can’t wait for those). It would even be cool to get a new mechanic like, now you can duplicate ancient dragon stones or something idk

      I would recommend going through NG+ and only doing the things you missed, all the main bosses and collecting any weapons/gear you might want. Also getting doubles of certain weapons you might want to dual wield. For example I got a double of every weapon you can dual wield that you only get one of in your first playthrough in my NG+ run like Rivers of Blood katana and Melanias golden alloyed sword cause I’m a Dex/Arcane build and leveled them all up. Also collected a bunch of smithing stones and bell bearings to go into the DLC with. Maybe browse through the wiki and see what weapons and gear that you may have missed that you want to go into the DLC with. Good hunting 😎

      I think you should be fine just getting back in from where you left off, given you have beaten the game. Unless you want maximum freedom and use a NG character to use all the weapons without having to worry about requirements.

    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 😂😂

    Thanks a bunch for that detail. I was thinking of the same thing over last weekend as I already was into NG+ when i completed the game initially and regretted the idea of getting to NG+ as I had Mohg already unlocked in NG. Thankfully, I completed Mohg & Radhan in NG+ just to make my way into the DLC. I was able to grind and get my character at a good level where I didn't struggle with any of the bosses, as I'm a mage. But considering I want to run Messmer's weapon, I might have to run and get the bell bearings to just be ready. Appreciate the insights for sure and I'm glad I didn't start a NG over my already built and ready NG+ character.

    My OG character is on NG at level 171. I'm at the stone platform right now with just need to pick an ending which I'll probably do after completing the DLC (or maybe just before and not start NG+). I did start a fresh character because pretty much everyone is dead in my OG save because I was worried about having less character interaction. Also for practice since pretty much everyone is dead. I did just beat Margit without a summon so I was pretty proud of myself for that. So I'll probably tackle with my OG character first , see how it goes and then tackle with my character just started since I have a few months to make progress with them

    Fextra, I'm sure you already get tons of feedback like this and have been for years now, but at the risk of sounding redundant and unoriginal, I have to convey again how awesome your channel and website/wiki guides are.
    There aren't many channels dedicated to Soulsborne/Soulslikes/ARPG/"Masocore" games, especially prior to Elden Ring, you were the only one that I knew of. This channel and website have been saved and bookmarked for me for years, and though I don't like to spoil these games for myself or rely on walk-through guides, this genre is mostly comprised of games with vague, environmental storytelling, hidden areas and bosses, complex and convoluted side quests, and we need somewhere to go for help, advice, build suggestions, combat breakdowns, etc. This channel is the BEST and ONLY place to go IMO, and you're incredibly detailed and precise, the layout and UI of your wiki/guides is iconic, your videos are so helpful while remaining spoiler free, your reviews are unbiased, objective and reliable. And all of that is enhanced by your very calm, kind voice over and demeanor. Thank you for all your hard work and for being my crutch and wingman for all the Masocore, Soulslikes games I've loved since 2009's Demon's Souls. You're the gold standard for this genre and if I had made a channel for these kinds of games, I feel like we're very alike but I could only wish to be half as good at it as you are.
    Thanks again,
    I look forward to the plethora of breakdowns and reviews for Rise of the Ronin, DD2 and Shadow of Erdtree, as well as Wukong down the road. You always have a subscriber in me and I'll continue to share your content and channel with others
