12:25 additional warning, if you found Bonny Village, progressing past that point will have the same effect as entering the Shadow Keep. If you don’t want to miss anything, don’t enter the camp in front of the Shadow Keep or cross the bridge behind Bonny Village. Both points progress the NPC quests. You are fine to explore the village and cross the bridge to the south, but do not cross the northern bridge until you are certain you are ready.

Spoilers for questlines moving By the time you proceed just a little bit north of the Ensis castle you get a pop-up message. That's your warning that NPCs will move You can go back at this point and talk to them to learn where they'll go and what they'll do and they should move on one by one after doing a few grace resets and talking to them again and again As soon as I got that pop-up I stopped whatever I was doing and just doubled back to talk to everyone

[@LarkyLuna]

Also, related to this and spoilers for NPC questlines right at the pop-up point If you talk to Leda she asks if she should kill Thiollier or the Hornsent. I gave her no name and walked away and did Thiollier's questline. This made her default to wanting to kill the hornsent.

Frost weapons for furnace’s. There is one in the base game Zamor Curved Sword. Frost build up. 👍🏽

[@adastrawill]

Just a note, if you try to go around the shadow keep to the right and come in from the right side, as you pass through the forest before the mage tower and furnace golem, the same event at the shadow keep main gate will occur and phase 2 will begin. Just bare that in mind, so dont bother going the bonny village way using the bridges, you can explore bonny village and to the living jar dungeon there an pick up the o'mother emote, just dont go further than that. I believe you can pick up the site of grace thats just over the bridges next to the shack but if you're worried about progression occurring just stay away until you're ready :)

[@BlackHawkTuahDown]

Additional tips for those who are struggling. I'm now on my 2nd playthrough of the dlc. 1. Use bows and consumables. This is paramount to easy success. Trust me. 2. For humanoid fights. Whip out Relic sword and spam Wave of piss. Stunlocks them and WILL kill them with no danger to yourself 3.USE HOLY DAMAGE. My god I can't overstate this enough. Base eldin ring holy is crap but for this dlc. My god is it potent. 4. Always have a poise break option. Bleeding bosses in this dlc is much harder than base game unless you spec exclusively into bleed. However alot of bosses are easily staggered with double bonk stick jump attacks 5. POISON. Just use it. Bring out a barrage bow and stack poison on beefy boys. This can be used to great effect on some bosses where you can hit and run For all those struggling. Step back. Think. Strategy Is more relevant now than ever.

[@BurtGummerrr]

Do most of not all of us have the ability by now to buy smithing stones at roundtable? Hope the new smithscript spear works well. Kinda wish the weapons weren't more weak and enemies far more strong in DLC.

The bloodfiend’s arm with bleed affinity on it literally no diffs the last boss, probably the best dlc weapon

[@yxzymyurcdyxzymyurcd2181]

I was excited for the DLC with a 99% completion (missed 2 items), but to be honest I'm not enjoying it as much as I would like. I'm overleveled at 230+ on a NG+0 run and I feel like I have to constantly spam ashes of war and swap my builds mid level to make it through. First enemy I ever run into was tough as hell. Then I go further and fight a knight and get his armor and he was tough. Then I'm fighting the giant ass furnace golem. I'm like "WTF game, chill. This is supposed to be the starting area." Now I'm a bit further fighting fire knights and they seem way harder than they need to be, each being like a mini boss or big enemy. Use Arcane at 80 with occult/bleed weapons, so my main damage stat is essentially maxed out. Resorting to Cold Bleed weapons and Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear for mob killing, but even then requires caution. I hope they do make some areas a bit easier, I'd rather not have to deal with a Limgrave sized Consecrated Snowfield.

If you're a strength bleed build there are 0 new items that surpass the base weapons. New Colossal bleed weapon has the worst range and base damage of all Colossal weapons so its useless. New armor is way too heavy for the benefits and the talismans and spirit ashes are all useless. Radahn copy paste Battle and too many of the same enemies. DLC has tons of empty area that makes the Snowfields look busy. 7/10.

[@GuySher]

This is terrible and a waste of time

[@Banbro88]

The base game of Elden Ring clearly establishes that Radahn halted the stars to protect Sellia and engaged in a cataclysmic battle with Malenia over control. The game's lore indicates that the demigods, corrupted by the power of the Great Runes, vied for dominance. Radahn's arc was effectively complete with his descent into madness and eternal struggle coming to a halt at the festival. Conversely, Godwyn's narrative is left open-ended. Miquella's goal to grant Godwyn a true death and the Finger Crone’s prophecy that Godwyn needs to die a true death indicate a buildup toward resolving Godwyn’s fate. However, there is no foundational lore connecting Miquella and Radahn. The idea of a deep connection between Miquella and Radahn seems contrived, appealing more to a fan-fiction fantasy than to the established narrative. The imagery in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC teaser, such as the strings of life Marika pulls from a corpse, suggests thematic elements that could be used to craft a more cohesive story involving Godwyn and Miquella. Given Godwyn's soulless state and Miquella's search for a bodily form, the narrative could have explored reanimating Godwyn’s body or leveraging an eclipse to restore souls-fitting themes for a dark fantasy universe. Instead, the DLC's direction feels forced, especially the final boss fight with "prime" Radahn, which lacks the unique flavor and depth characteristic of *FromSoftware’s* other DLC bosses. The new lore items introduced in the DLC, with no foreshadowing in the base game, fail to provide a satisfying or convincing expansion of the story. The rushed and superficial connections between Miquella and Radahn diminish the potential richness of their individual arcs. The DLC's attempt to justify these connections feels like a thin plot device rather than a thoughtful extension of the game’s intricate lore. Many players feel that this DLC lacks depth and substance, making it a disappointment compared to the base game's expansive and immersive world. The encounter design often relies on cheap tactics, like placing enemies in unexpected spots solely to frustrate players. This approach feels less like a challenge and more like a gimmick. Furthermore, the DLC's item and enemy scaling are inconsistent, making the experience confusing and unbalanced. High-level players face trivial challenges while encountering outdated items that serve no purpose at their level ( Smithing stones ) . The story progression in the DLC is underwhelming. After extensive buildup around Miquella, the player finally encounters him only to be forced into a fight with little explanation or narrative payoff. This abrupt encounter, coupled with the lack of significant choices or consequences, reduces what could have been a profound moment into a mere checkbox on the player’s to-do list. The ending of the DLC offers no closure or reward, leaving many players feeling as though their time and effort were wasted. Unlike other FromSoftware games, where DLCs add depth and conclude the story meaningfully, Shadow of the Erdtree leaves players with a sense of anticlimax. There is no significant change to the game world or a deeper understanding of its lore-just an 8-hour extension of the base game's grinding and combat. In summary, Shadow of the Erdtree fails to meet the high expectations set by Elden Ring. The DLC’s plot feels disconnected and superficial, lacking the intricate and rewarding narrative elements that made the base game so compelling. The final boss fight and the handling of Miquella’s story are particularly disappointing, undermining what could have been a significant expansion of the game’s world and lore.
