Elden Ring DLC Enters Mysterious Land of Shadow with New Bosses and Areas for Players to Explore
-
The DLC takes place in a new land called the Land of Shadow, which is separate from the Lands Between but occupies the same universe. Players will follow Miquella's footsteps there.
-
The world structure is similar to the base game with legacy dungeons, open fields, etc. The new land is comparable in size to Limgrave.
-
Several new bosses are introduced, including a gruesome fiery basket weapon, a worm that eats people, and the key figure Messmer who sits on a throne rivaling the demigods.
-
George R.R. Martin provided backstory but did not write new content exclusively for the DLC. His existing mythos continues to inspire the world.
-
Regarding difficulty, there will be more optional bosses tuned like Malenia to challenge hardcore fans, but freedom of approach is still offered.
