Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Beginner Guide - MUST KNOW TIPS Before You Play
In this Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Beginner Guide, we’ll give you the best tips and tricks for getting started with the DLC and having a smooth first approach to the expansion content. This guide contains only minor mechanic, equipment and early location name spoilers, and we don’t go into specifics of NPCs, characters or bosses. We have limited the footage of locations to the map so that you can be surprised when you get there.

Another great video, I’ve been trying to find a guide without (major) spoilers as I haven’t got the DLC and this is it. It sounds like all enemies hit hard and can 2-3 shot players, even at 60 vigor. Is there a way to level up in the DLC to counter this? Or is it just part of Shadow of the Erdtree whatever your level?
