The Elden Ring DLC\u2019s difficulty scaling left many at a loss on how best to progress. As such, Scadutree Fragments quickly became a hot commodity once players realized the materials were necessary for enhancing their offensive and defensive capabilities. However, some Shadow of the Erdtree players may feel the Scadutree Fragments aren\u2019t boosting their characters enough. Reddit user timtimluuluu has, thus, created a list of the other Elden Ring items that improve damage output and reduce damage taken. For one, the Redditor told fellow Tarnished to consider using Opaline Hardtear, Crystal Tears that enhance the effects of Flask of Wondrous Physick. Elden Ring\u2019s Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman constitutes another solid alternative for Scadutree Fragments. This particular Talisman reduces all physical damage taken by a whopping 20 percent. Pearldrake Talisman (+3) serves as another solid item in this regard, as it reduces Elemental Damage taken by a pretty good amount. Players should additionally put Boiled Crab in their rotation since the consumable negates 20 percent of Physical Damage for 60 seconds. Better still, it stacks with Opaline Hardtear for extra advantages. Based on responses to the post, the Opaline Hardtear is an especially worthwhile item to have in both the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. \u201cI\u2019ve been using Opaline Hardtear in the base game for ages now. Seeing people finally \u2018discover\u2019 it feels validating,\u201d one person wrote in the comments. Another user added, \u201cYea, everyone is all about the tear that gives you a bubble but\u2026 it\u2019s good for one hit but then nothing. Opaline Hardtear is a constant buff to all negation.\u201d These items should work wonders for Elden Ring players struggling through the DLC even after acquiring Scadutree Fragments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elden Ring players already have alternatives if Scadutree Fragments \u201caren\u2019t enough\u201d Bandai NamcoElden Ring players have identified the best items to use in addition to the Scadutree Fragments in Shadow of the Erdtree.
