Elden Ring DLC Tips: Start a New Character to Better Handle Notoriously Difficult Expansion
- Elden Ring's upcoming DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, will be extremely difficult, on par with the infamous Malenia boss fight
- Attempting the DLC on higher NG+ difficulties when you're already over-leveled will make it unnecessarily hard and limit co-op
- FromSoftware DLCs are known for raising the bar in terms of challenge compared to base games
- It's best to start a new character that's within the meta level range to properly prepare for the increased difficulty
- The author strongly advises against playing the DLC for the first time on higher NG+ levels to avoid potentially hating the game
