Elden Ring\u2019s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC certainly isn\u2019t a cakewalk but its difficulty has been a sore point for some. Players even dropped the expansion to a mixed rating on Steam over frustrations with the extreme challenge. Prolific streamer Asmongold who\u2019s no stranger to FromSoftware titles even took a brief hiatus from Shadow of the Erdtree after criticising it for being \u201ctoo hard to be fun\u201d. He didn\u2019t shrink from the challenge for long however and has since changed his tune. Coming back stronger with a new build that focuses on damage mitigation and Guard Countering, Asmongold managed to beat Shadow of the Erdtree. In a clip of the aftermath titled \u2018I Was Wrong\u2019, the streamer gave the DLC a perfect score, mirroring our own review. \u201cI think that is probably the greatest and best DLC that I have ever played,\u201d Asmongold asserted confidently. Despite his initial misgivings about the enemy scaling, he recanted them saying \u201cThe damage and the health of the mobs is totally fine.\u201d He touted multiple boss fights as standouts but the clear favourite was Bayle the Dread. \u201cI think Bayle is probably the new best dragon fight in all of FromSoftware\u2019s games,\u201d he explained. \u201cI think it clears even Midir\u2026 I don\u2019t even think that it\u2019s close.\u201d It wasn\u2019t all praise however and Asmogold did admit that the final boss was a bit of a letdown. \u201cI was hoping that it would be something way cooler than what it was,\u201d he allowed, stopping short of spoiling it for others. Despite that single criticism, he still gave Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree a perfect score. \u201cIt\u2019s a 10,\u201d Asmongold announced with no room for argument. It seems like Shadow of the Erdtree is certainly worth pushing through, at least in the streamer\u2019s opinion. Fortunately, that just got a little easier thanks to a new patch that buffs Scadutree Blessings further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asmongold walks back Elden Ring DLC criticisms upon completion: \u201cIt\u2019s a 10\u201d Twitch: zackrawrr\/FromSoftware\/Bandai NamcoAsmongold has reconsidered his take on Elden Ring\u2019s DLC after finally conquering it, labeling the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion as one of the \u201cbest DLC\u2019s\u201d he\u2019s ever played.
