Shadow of the Erdtree Review - Like a Long Lost Love

[@FightinCowboy]

For those wanting to watch but worried about spoilers: Wide angle shot of how big map is, I use a new weapon, shield, armor, and 1 spell. Video explores first area of the DLC. Quick map shot as I warp at 6:05 (note there's so much verticality that seeing the map really isn't going to help you all that much).

You the real mvp cowboy

[@rempster87]

I am just listening for the review

[@FightinCowboy]

Answers to some of the most common questions: Yes there's more +10 smithing and somber. Yes there's larval tears. Yes there's stuff to level the new ashen spirits. Yes it scales with NG+. Go in with whatever level you want you'll be fine. Yes my damage is very high I have 17 Scadutree blessings (85% more damage). Sexy armor is somewhere in the first zone, not saying where here. If you're at start of NG+ you need to re-kill Radahna and Mohg to enter. If you've killed Elden Beast, done everything, and basically are waiting to enter NG+ you're safe to enter DLC. Don't start NG+.

Now with the DLC, it's going to be a great experience and value.

[@JoeAyyyyy]

Cowboy or whoever else may need to see this - if you have a high end rig and are still experiencing "lag" it's because Fromsoft games/Elden Ring constantly monitor the status of Device Connections. For a lot of people, you can fix this by disabling Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator" in Device Manager under (view => Device by Connection). For me, I had one USB device that was having issues in a port, the game kept freezing when it was connecting/disconnecting or trying to fix it, I removed that USB and it was fine. Window's Event Viewer can help you determine device issue is the core problem for your specific scenario.

[@FightinCowboy]

Gonna try this, cheers.

[@SerPodrick]

All this does is make the game crash if your controller unplugs.

[@nickekas]

Hello there, fellow reviewer here from Danish Arkaden. I too played through the expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. I can 100% agree with everything you have to say. This expansion delivers on every single dimension. The world is massive, enganging, and rewards exploration. It is a layered level design, with so many unique ways of getting to points of interests. Tons of new equipment, with new added weapon types as well. The bossfights are top-nutch, and they are easily the most cinematic fights so far, as well. All in all: Be excited for exploring The Realm of Shadow, fellow Tarnished! Best from Denmark, Nicklas

The combat, when approached like Souls, will humble you quick. That should tell you all you need to know 😆 Its a more straightforward, fast-paced action game, centered around a rhythmic back and forth of attacks and parries. I do prefer Souls at the end of the day, but Sekiro is a great and completely different beast and lumping it in with the Soulsborne games is kind of an insult to it.

5:01 I just found the hammer at the start of the DLC. If you want to know read below….. If you directly east from the first grace you unlock in the DLC you will be going down a bending slope that’s turning to the north and ends at the Church of Consolation. There is a knight that looks identical to the knight he was referring to when pointing out the hammer. That knight dropped the hammer in the Church of Consolation. It’s called the Black Steel Greathammer. I’m assuming it’s a garunteed drop but when someone else goes there… please confirm for others looking for the hammer that the knight I mentioned dropped it for you like it did for me so people know it’s not a random drop.

Your analogy reminded me of Grease. I like that movie. I'm excited to PvP again with some new toys. Gonna keep an eye on your channel. Every time you post a build, I end up facing it within the day. Gotta stay ahead of the sheep.
