It's been well over a year since FromSoftware announced that Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC was in development, and the wait for its release has been quite a long one. Now, though, the expansion's highly anticipated launch is finally here — but while it's an absolutely incredible experience (as I said in my review, it's one of the easiest 10/10 ratings I'll ever give), many players may not even know how or where to access it in the Lands Between.
Luckily, we're not dealing with a Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss situation, as unlocking Shadow of the Erdtree is a pretty simple process. However, it's not a straightforward or obvious one, and it doing it will require you to get over some pretty significant hurdles. In fact, according to achievement data, only about 40% of Elden Ring players on Steam have beaten one of the bosses you're required to defeat at the time of writing.
