Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC gives players tons of content to add on top of the base game's already large playtime. With plenty of optional bosses, a difficulty curve that has frustrated even the most dedicated players, and an entirely new land of mystery, fans will most certainly be busy exploring the Land of Shadow. It's rather easy for the main storyline of Shadow of the Erdtree to take a backseat, and of course, the ending gives players plenty of room to theorize about what it means. All in all, the DLC clearly exists to give fans more to do and see rather than focus too heavily on deep lore implications.
