Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is already kicking players’ butts. The tough-as-nails DLC takes a challenging game and makes it even more difficult. Players have been making jokes about how a character higher than level 500 and the strongest build in the game can get pulverized by a random creature in a field. Now that it’s out, FromSoftware has successfully solidified its reputation for making difficult games yet again, but that’s not all.
