Elden Ring Publisher Tries To Save Those Thinking The Game Is Too Hard

The Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, has received numerous complaints from players regarding its level of difficulty. This led the publisher, Bandai Namco, to create a post offering advice to players who are struggling and repeatedly dying in battles.

The publisher highlighted the "Scadutree Blessing," a core system in the DLC that may have been overlooked by players eager to explore the map. Scadutree Fragments are used to strengthen the Scadutree Blessing and they are scattered throughout the Realm of Shadow. This blessing boosts your ability to both inflict and withstand damage.

Looking through the comments on the post, it seems that some players have already discovered this secret, making their gameplay experience much easier. Others have expressed appreciation for the advice and are likely now diligently collecting all the Scadutree Fragments.

The DLC originally garnered a 95% positive review upon its launch but quickly dropped to 63% over the weekend due to its difficulty. The positive review rate currently stands at 67%, and it's reasonable to expect this to increase as more players level up their Scadutree Blessing.
