Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has finally been released, and as expected of a FromSoftware game, it doesn’t hold back when it comes to difficulty. At first glance, it’s much harder than the base game, but there’s a bit of nuance to this shift in difficulty. It has a different style from the base game, and the scaling is more similar to Sekiro instead. But trying to compare the difficulty of the DLC to the base game isn’t an easy task, considering that both the boss stats and scaling changed for the DLC.
