Hard to master

It's hard not to hear about Elden Ring right now. Since the release of its DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, FromSoftware's software is once again everywhere. In addition to its great qualities, players are discussing a lot about another point of the expansion: its infernal difficulty. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki knew the DLC would make adventurers scream, but maybe not this much. A few days ago, the software was subjected to review bombing on various sites and more particularly on Valve's platform, Steam.

As a gesture of good faith, the Japanese studio has taken a step towards players by releasing a patch that softens the challenge a bit.. This hotfix improves the Ossult Tree Vengeance and the Blessing of Revered Spirit Ashes. Both blessings can be upgraded at a Grace Site up to level 20 and make the experience easier. Players seem to have been receptive, with ratings once again being “rather positive”.

Easy to play

Official solutions are great, but they still require you to be a pad pro to survive in the unwelcoming lands of the Shadow Realm. That's why players themselves are offering mods to make the experience much easier. As spotted by IGN, the mod “Easy Shadow of the Erdtree”, proposed by a certain Belger, reduces the damage inflicted by opponents by approximately 25%.. The creator explains that his mod is perfect for adventurers who want to learn boss patterns without dying too often, just to practice a bit before attempting the original challenge. Yes, it sounds like an excuse to explain to your friends why you installed the mod.

And if you want to risk Shadow of the Erdtree without installing any mods and living the experience desired by FromSoftware, We offer several guides to help you in your quest. We also have an article that summarizes in a few lines how to get started. What we can advise you is to bet on the invocation ashes, in particular on the mimic tear. Also, make builds that accumulate alterations (freeze, bleeding, poison), with a lot of endurance and vigor.
