How to Prepare for Shadow of the Erdtree…
Consider this an impromptu “guide” for how to prepare for Elden Ring’s expansion. I’m drilling you with all the stinging questions: Should you create a brand new character, or just stick with your current level 150 build that I’m sure is just fine? Should you go into New Game plus, or just stay on the first journey?

Instead of throwing what’s basically a glorified build guide at you, I drafted up a quick checklist of every upgrade and key item you could possibly need to prepare your anus.
