There is a good chance that fans of Elden Ring are firing up their consoles and PCs for a little extra training before the arrival of the new DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree<\/a>, releases next month.<\/p>\n

However, players will need to do more to prepare for its launch beyond just sharpening their skills with a sword, as the update has some specific requirements that need to be met.<\/p>\n

The DLC promises a new quest set in the Land of the Shadow, where players will have to overcome new monsters, master new weapons and develop different skills.<\/p>\n

It has already been shown off through mouth-watering trailers, such as the one below.<\/p>\n\n<p>In case it passed you by, Elden Ring is an enormous fantasy role-playing game set in a gothic world overrun by ghastly creatures and evil monsters.<\/p>\n<p>It was developed by FromSoftware, the studio behind the Dark Souls and Armored Core games, and published by Bandai Namco. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/fantasy\/game-of-thrones-how-watch\/\">Game of Thrones<\/a> author George RR Martin even contributed to the world-building in the game.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a newcomer and this challenging fantasy epic sounds like a good time, read on to find out what you\u2019ll need to do to access the upcoming DLC.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Elden Ring DLC requirements: What must you do before you can start Shadow of the Erdtree?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before you can play Elden Ring\u2019s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, you will need to <strong>defeat two enemies \u2013 the blood monarch Mohg and Starbreaker Radhan <\/strong>\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/news\/202402\/22335199.html\">according to the game\u2019s director<\/a>, Hidetaka Miyazaki.<\/p>\n<p>Once these monsters have been defeated, you will be able to access the Shadow of the Erdtree content via a large broken cocoon that is said to be located near Mohgwyn Palace, where the battle with Mohg takes place.<\/p>\n<p>To overcome him, it is recommended the player is at around level 100.<\/p>\n<p>Radhan can be found at Redmane Castle, and it is recommended that you are at level 70 or above before fighting him.<\/p>\n<p>Miyazaki also confirmed in the same interview that the DLC and the base game are not connected, and so players will be able to move between the two at will.<\/p>\n<p>Are you prepared for Shadow of the Erdtree\u2019s launch?
