Are You Ready to Play Shadow of the Erdtree?
With the release of the highly anticipated Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, less than two weeks away, publisher Bandai Namco has reminded fans that they need to get a move on and prepare for its launch by defeating one of the original game’s optional bosses.
The DLC Entrance
In a recent interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu, Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki said players can access the DLC content when they’ve defeated Starscourge Radahn and then optional boss Mohg, Lord of Blood. Miyazaki revealed the entrance to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is the withered arm hanging from the cocoon in the Mohg, Lord of Blood boss fight area.
More Than Half of Players Unprepared
Today, June 11, Bandai Namco quote-tweeted a post by streamer Cohh Carnage that highlighted how Steam achievements indicate the majority of Elden Ring players on Valve’s platform have yet to defeat Mohg. As Cohh Carnage points out, currently just over 62% of Elden Ring players on PC will not be able to play Shadow of the Erdtree because they have yet to defeated Mohg. It’s a similar stat on PlayStation and Xbox, with around two thirds of players having failed to defeat Mohg on each platform. Perhaps that’s unsurprising given Mohg, Lord of Blood is an optional boss players who mainline Elden Ring might have missed.
