FromSoftware is so desperate for struggling Elden Ring players to level up their Shadow of the Erdtree blessings that it's now just telling them where they are

As Elden Ring players grapple with Shadow of the Erdtree's difficulty, FromSoftware opts to reveal precisely "how to strengthen your character" - hopefully making the DLC a bit easier.

It's no secret - despite the Souslike genre's trademark feature being the hardcore difficulty it presents players with, a good few Elden Ring fans are struggling to progress through Shadow of the Erdtree's challenging new content. FromSoftware is well aware of this it seems, with the studio releasing an Elden Ring patch that makes it easier to buff your Tarnished earlier today - and more amusingly, an announcement that reads much like a how-to guide does.
