Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has kept players hooked, but even veterans of the Soulslike genre are finding the difficulty to be a struggle.
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC Review – FromSoftware Has Never Been Better
The long-awaited DLC went live on June 21st and players are still struggling, with many reporting that they are being two-shot by bosses and taking hours to progress.
Several threads have been created on Reddit since the DLC's release. "I'm lvl 181 on ng+ and I'm not gonna lie I'm getting beat up like a rag doll and my damage output is struggling right now," one player wrote. Another player joined in the discussion by replying, "yeah everyone is struggling right now even in the base game without NG+."
A few players have reported on specific bosses directly. For example, DianShfta posted on June 21 asking "why this mf is so strong", referencing a screenshot of Blackgaol Knight. He is one of the first bosses you encounter in Shadow of the Erdtree, and many players have mentioned that he took a few hours to beat.
