FromSoftware
trouble is a well - known trademark of FromSoftware game , and so the fact people are experience yield in the newElden Ring : Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC , even against even common foe , is unsurprising . However , even veteran players seem to be fight . Many have taken to Steamto negatively go over the game , which is now sit around at “ Mixed ” at the time of this writing .

gratefully , FromSoftwarehasstepped into assistance with the difficultness spike . The developerpublished a post on its websiteSunday with some wind on how to increase your potency . It specifically mentions Protection of the Spirit Ashes and Protection of the Shadow Tree , which coincidentally need Spirit Ash and Shadow Tree Fragments , so stock up on those when you could .
This is a proposition to level up your Scadutree Blessing

However , it come out that people have been overlooking one important thing exclusive to the DLC ’s Land of Shadow . Bandai Namco briefly posted on X ( formerly Twitter ) over the weekend about Scadutree Blessing , which can help you deal and contradict more wrong . And to supercharge it , you need to witness and pick up Scadutree Fragments . There are around 50 of them throughoutShadow of the Erdtree , and while some can just be found and pick up , others are drop by enemies .
biz film director Hidetaka Miyazaki warned players in interview onwards of the DLC ’s release thatShadow of the Erdtreewould sport more challenge , including a new tearing down systemthat was more similar toSekirothanElden Ring . If you ’re unfamiliar , players now have an fire power separate than standard leveling . This was the developer ’ logical thinking since they had to account for players at all level — from newbies who just defeated Mohg , Lord of Blood toenter the Land of Shadowto newfangled plot plus expert . And the best direction to level that up is with Scadutree Fragments .
Plus , FromSoftware ’s design ism has always been about the challenge , and the joy and expiation for having surmount it . WhileElden Ringis mostly more accessible due to its open - world nature , which allow histrion to break aside from enemies and come back to them later , it is n’t without its unmanageable fights . So to not offer that for the DLC , even for more experient musician , would ’ve gone against what the studio stands for and has put up with each of its deed of conveyance . Also , what ’s a FromSoftware expiration without some difficulty preaching ?
“ If we really wanted the whole world to play the game , we could just crank the difficultness down more and more . But that was n’t the correct approach,”Miyazaki recently told The Guardian . “ Turning down difficulty would strip the secret plan of that joyfulness — which , in my eye , would break the plot itself . ”
Basically , if you go into a new FromSoftware release not look foiling , you ’re not toy it aright .
