In a nutshell, <strong>you\u2019ll need to have beaten Radahn and Mohg<\/strong> before you can enter Land of Shadow (where the DLC is set).<\/p>\n<p>Once these two bosses have been defeated, head over to Miquella\u2019s Cocoon (which is conveniently where the Mohg battle took place) and interact with it. You should be taken to the Land of Shadow to embark on the Shadow of Erdtree.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p> <p><strong>Check out more of our <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/\">Gaming<\/a> coverage or visit our <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\">TV Guide<\/a> and <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\">Streaming Guide<\/a> to find out what\u2019s on.
