Attempting to clear Elden Ring’s DLC Shadow of the Erdtree is the latest trend in the gaming community, with many trying to test their skills in one of the hardest games ever. However, the insane difficulty level of the DLC has deterred many players, leading to demands to reduce the difficulty.
Amidst all the requests from the enthusiasts attempting the clear the DLC, one Reddit user has come forward asking every player to stop complaining and blaming the game’s difficulty level for their own failures.
Why Complaining About Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree Doesn’t Make Sense
When Elden Ring was released in 2022, it managed to garner a lot of attention due to its insane difficulty. However, it received a positive reception from the majority of the fans, and the DLC for the game was much anticipated.
According to the Reddit user illMet8ySunlight, there is no point in constantly whining about the difficulty of DLC and how it is much tougher than the base game. In a vacuum, the DLC might seem super challenging; however, the idea is to adapt and overcome.
There are also a few actual reasons why you could be struggling to clear the DLC. If you are still using the weapons from the base game, it might be better to switch to the weapons provided in the DLC. Furthermore, there are summons available in the game that can make boss fights easier.
It’s also worth noting that the Elden Ring and its DLC are Soulslike, so they are intended to be hard. Requesting to introduce a difficulty level selection defeats the whole point of the game being hard to clear.
If Kai Cenat Can Clear the DLC, So Can You
Twitch streamer Kai Cenat’s marathon of clearing Shadow of the Erdtree has come to an end after almost 100 hours of streaming. His sheer resilience and determination to complete the DLC proves that it can be done if you put your mind to it.
The Twitch star managed to reach the final boss of the game around the 50-hour mark, and with just the final phase of the game remaining, the victory felt inevitable. However, he had to work for the glory, as it took almost 50 hours more to defeat the final boss.
What’s interesting is that Kai Cenat is new to Elden Ring’s genre, having only completed the base game before. This goes on to show that while the DLC is extremely difficult, it is doable. It’s also worth noting that he defeated the final boss without using any summons.
Do you think the DLC is too hard for every gamer? Should the developers add a difficulty selection option to the game? Let us know in the comments below.
