The much-anticipated DLC for Elden Ring, titled Shadow of the Erdtree, is almost here, and fans are gearing up for the new content. Players on PlayStation can pre-load the DLC 48 hours before launch, while PC and Xbox players will have to wait until the release time to start downloading.
Preparation for the DLC
Before diving into Shadow of the Erdtree, players need to complete some prerequisites. Specifically, you must defeat two significant bosses: Radahn and Mohg. While many players are familiar with the Radahn boss fight, Mohg has been causing more trouble. Publisher Bandai Namco noted that, as of a week ago, a significant percentage of players across all platforms had not yet defeated Mohg. If you’re struggling with Mohg, you can refer to various guides to help you conquer this boss and prepare for the DLC.
