How to start Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

While it’s common for FromSoftware to bury their DLC behind hours of gameplay, it’s surprising to me that the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in Elden Ring, arguably the most accessible FromSoftware game yet, is also buried behind hours of gameplay. To start Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, you need to earn it.

This may seem overwhelming but don’t worry. I’ve jotted down the journey as I went through it, so every action is necessary.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC checklist

To start the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring, you’ll have to beat two key bosses. Depending on your position in Elden Ring, you may have to beat some more. There is a lot of conflicting information out there on what exactly you need to do, but I’ve found the most efficient way of getting there.

To start the Shadow of the Erd Tree Elden Ring DLC, you need to have:

• Defeated Starscourge Radahn
• Defeated Mogh, Lord of Blood

Once you’ve defeated those two bosses, you’ll be in a position to start the DLC.

I was only level 33 when I started my journey to get ready for the DLC in time, and if I can do it, so can you. If you’re not afraid to exploit the game, then you can likely get ready in your very next play session, depending on how far away you are.

Despite Mohg, Lord of Blood, being harder than Radahn, I’d suggest you take him on first if you don’t mind getting a little exploit-ey. It’ll set you up nicely for the Radahn fight. If you’re almost or over level 100, however, then tackle the bosses in any order you decide.

How to get to Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring

To defeat Mohg, Lord of Blood in Elden Ring for the Shadow of the Erd Tree DLC, you’ll need to get to Mohgwyn Palace; a place only accessible via teleportation.

You’ll be able to stay away from the brunt of the fight while riding Torrent, but the phantoms will need your support to take down Radahn as they are limited. My advice would be to bring in a bleeding weapon to chunk down Radahn’s health before fleeing again.

Your phantoms should be able to finish Radahn off. Make sure to keep fleeing as his attacks will likely obliterate you if he is allowed to pull off a combo.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree: How to start the DLC

Now that Radahn and Mohg are defeated, you should be able to start the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC when it comes out.

To enter the new land, you’ll need to go to Miquella’s cocoon in the back of Mohg’s boss fight area. You will be able to interact with this cocoon to start the DLC and enter the Land of Shadows.

If you got here without exploiting the game, then my hat goes off to you. If you want to finish off Malenia before you start the new DLC, then we’ve got you covered.
