The long-awaited Souls adventure add-on, Elden Ring, will finally launch on June 21, 2024, under the name Shadow of the Erdtree, meaning fans will have even more new content and areas to explore in the world of the Lands Between.
Many players have already embarked on and completely finished the journey of their character known as Tarnished, so they may be wondering if they need to restart the game from the beginning to get to the next addition, or if they will be able to play after completing the game. in New Game + mode.
How can I play Shadow of the Erdtree Add Elden Ring
Fortunately, they can actually do this! They can start the DLC with a new NG+ or New Game+ experience, but it will take some time to access the new Shadow of the Erdtree DLC adventure.
We learned in an interview conducted between Hidetaka Miyazaki and the Famitsu website that access to the additional content will not be through the main open field, as you will simply be transported to the new location through the famous "cocoon" from which a strange hand hangs, and can be found at the site of the battle with Mohg or Lord of Blood, and will serve as a gateway to the new area in Shadow of the Erdtree.
This means players must defeat Mohg and Radahn to access the new area in the upcoming content and enjoy the anticipated unique experience. You can also access the expansion in New Game+ mode, but there's some work to do first, and additional expansions in FromSoftware games have required something similar before, including defeating certain bosses to unlock expansions.
So remember that you can't access the new Elden Ring expansion simply from the main menu, and the only way to enter the Shadow Realm is by progressing through the story. You'll need to defeat certain enemies, namely the Starscourge Radahn, who you'll face at Castle Redmane in the Redmane area. Caelid, the Blood Lord, or Mohg, who resides in Mohgwyn Palace, are both very difficult bosses to defeat, and once you've defeated them, you can begin your new adventure in the Shadow Realm.
