The pre and post launch hype behind Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has been impossible to ignore, but has it managed to convince any of you ‘never-Souls’ players to finally give the game a try?
The oft-mention difficulty curve of the Souls series can be an instant turn off for some. I mean, what possible fun could there be in getting your Tarnished butt handed to you every 10 minutes or so?

That’s how Maddie Cullen felt as she saw our internal chats about Shadow of the Erdtree, so she decided to test out whether or not following tips and guides could help her to embrace the pain and help her get into the game. Join Maddie as she documents her first few hours of the game to see if tips and guides are essential tools for a newcomer on the video player above or, if you’d prefer to watch it on YouTube, you’ll find that embedded just below these words.
