Initial Exploration and Map Acquisition — Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Guide

The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expands Elden Ring with the new Land of Shadow, a distinct world from the Lands Between. This expansion introduces new areas, weapons, equipment, bosses, and lore, offering a fresh experience for players. To access the DLC, players must first defeat Starscourge Radahn, which requires progressing through Ranni the Witch and Blaidd the Half-Wolf's questlines until Sorceress Sellen advises defeating Radahn to enter Nokron.

The Belurat Tower Settlement is a Legacy Dungeon within the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, known for its practitioners of ancient hexing arts and those afflicted by "fly sickness." This sickness transformed individuals into hostile flesh-eating creatures, and the tower is now roamed by lost Revered Spirits. The DLC features a new map with 70 new Weapons, 10 new Shields, 39 new Talismans, 14 new Sorceries, 28 new Incantations, 20 new Spirit Ashes, 25 new Ashes of War, 30 new Armor Sets, and new Consumables & Craftables.

Key resources for navigating the DLC include:

  • Shadow Lands Game Progress Route: A streamlined to-do list by location.
  • Shadow of the Erdtree Map: An interactive map for checking categories and assets.
  • Bosses: Guides for new bosses.
  • Sites of Grace: Information on how they work and where to find them.
