How To Start The Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC In Elden Ring
is a significant expansion to the base game, but much like its obtuse quest design, there's very little indication of how you are supposed to start the DLC. The Tarnished will follow in the footsteps of Miquella, so anyone invested in the game's lore might have an idea of where to begin, but a lack of quest markers leaves a lot of room for guesswork.
