FromSoftware Makes Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Easier for the Whiners

The Shadow Realm Blessing in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is a new leveling system that helps players keep up with the difficulty they will encounter in the DLC. By finding Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ashes, players can increase their Scadutree Blessing level, which boosts their attack power and damage negation, and their Revered Spirit Ash Blessing, which enhances their Spirit Ashes and Torrent4. These blessings only take effect within the Shadow Realm and not in the base game.

Players had common complaints about the game's difficulty, performance issues on their PCs, and some criticized the game for being too hard.
