If you're at start of NG+ you need to re-kill Radahna and Mohg to enter. If you've killed Elden Beast, done everything, and basically are waiting to enter NG+ you're safe to enter DLC. Don't start NG+.
Was going to avoid watching anything with spoilers, but I couldn't resist, and now Friday can't come quick enough! Great video Cowboy, and as always your reviews are top notch!
I just watched a little bit of the video but mainly listened to your review because I don't want much visual spoilers. Thank you, Cowboy. You've been guiding us through these beautiful games for such a long time. I always got a big smile from knowing you're doing great and going up. You do deserve this and much more. Kind regards from Argentina, buddy.
Cowboy or whoever else may need to see this - if you have a high end rig and are still experiencing "lag" it's because Fromsoft games/Elden Ring constantly monitor the status of Device Connections. For a lot of people, you can fix this by disabling Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator" in Device Manager under (view => Device by Connection). For me, I had one USB device that was having issues in a port, the game kept freezing when it was connecting/disconnecting or trying to fix it, I removed that USB and it was fine. Window's Event Viewer can help you determine device issue is the core problem for your specific scenario.
I can't wait, I'm so excited! After putting 1,300 hours into Remnant 2, sadly I'm ready to put it down, and take on something else! Now I can add more time to my already 800 hours that I have invested in Elden Ring! Get those walkthroughs ready! I will be needing them after my first blind playthrough!
@@narukegogetaas far as I know, we actually somehow fight alongside him in the DLC. Wonder if it’s gonna be something similar to Margit and Morgott as in we only killed radahns fake form.
Thank you for this spoiler free review. The excitement and wait for the dlc to drop takes me back to my teenage days waiting outside GameStop for Pokemon games to release. I am grinning ear to ear. :)
After completing the DLC, I have two thoughts: 1. The toughest enemy in all of FromSoftware games is those damn dogs 2. “Wide as an ocean; deep as a puddle” This DLC feels as close to “rushed content” we would get from FromSoftware
I think that hammer is dropped 100% by the same enemy in the church of consolation. From the DLC start point, go NE down a hill. If you find that church the same knight is inside there and upon defeat, drops the hammer.
Mr Cownoy... I think I can speak for everyone here, in saying thank you in advance. Your walkthrough in the base game was an invaluable resource, and I have no doubt we're in for a similar treat very soon. Int/faith build the way forward? I have a 100% save file ready to go.. although I missed a perfume bottle in the regular capital. Time to do it all again before Friday? 😢😅
@fightinCowboy Did they tell you if there any merchants or new black smith for armour or weopon upgrades past 10 or 25 ? If you can't say because it could be spoilers I understand.
Thanks for the review Cowboy. I had bought it already, and I can see all the usual suspects giving it 10/10, but your endorsement is the most meaningful to me, as you are the guy who helped me through the souls series. I am so excited to get started with it. Also, your closing thoughts were beautifully poetic, very refreshing, I wish more game reviewers were as gifted with the prose as you are 😂 You are the epitome of what we Scots call ' A Good Cunt'
thank you for your review. I have one question: you talk about the pinnacle of From Software, where do you think will move From Software from now on? To be more specific, which new game should we expect now? Again a new IP or a sequel of Dark Souls, Demons, Bloodborne or Sekiro?
Not sure if its still relevant for you but the hammer u were talking about wanting can be gotten as a drop. I'm not sure if its set or not but I got it the first time I killed the night right down the road from where u enter the shadow realm.
Bro I'm at level 153 elden ring is my first souls game I finished almost everything in the game then I had beaten sekiro every ending with the help of your sekiro walkthrough but after seeing the shadow of the erdtree difficulty I'm asking am I cooked 😅
I want to watch this so bad but I can't. I just don't wanna know or see anything until I play it myself. Glad you enjoyed it though CB. Can't freakin wait!
That weird pc “hang” Has to due with shader buffering. It’s something you’ll experience the very first time new shaders are generated and loaded into memory.
I’ve played so many souls games with you guiding me along, it’s like you’ve been my buddy all these years. I’m so happy you got to experience the DLC early and have such high praise!
I felt this bro Cowboy doesn't stand for bs and is just like the common man's gamer. Like your buddy that you you've been playing with for years that you have no idea where he's from or his name.
Amazingly Good things are Worth waiting for and They always arrive with Perfect timing, and Shadow of The Erdtree is one of those Good things that’s coming along with something else that’s gonna be Just as Good in a different manner non gaming related but still A Wonderful Thing to Receive😀😀
Nice job, I can't believe we get a DLC with over 40+ hours of game play. Heck another guy said he's got 65+ hours in the game and he's still finding shit. I'm terrible at these games so I'll be playing it double the amount of time as you guys no doubt lol. Thanks for the great review.
44 here, 45 in December. In early 2018, stumbled on DS1 on Xbox one back compat, and my life changed forever. Got a PS4 later that year for Bloodborne, went through SOTFS, DS3, Sekiro etc...Luckily got PS5 on an invitation shop, did Demon souls remake. All of this and am a solo disabled dad with an 11 year old son who shows/reminds me constantly my reflexes and timing just aren't what they used to be. Loved every second of Elden Ring, and I don't plan on stopping, just find creative ways to negate my weaknesses and turn them into strengths. We are the unsung and forgotten OG champ crew over here. Hell yeah guys. Don't give up skeleton! ☀️
@@zbigniewiksinski nah man I agree, it’s an unpopular opinion but Elden ring wasn’t my favorite either. I’ve beaten it once and I’m on ng+ if that heps substantiate my claims. I’ve played dark souls 3 as well as blood borne, with the later being my favorite game of all time. Elden rings aesthetic and bosses were repetitive and everything was gold and bright instead of the gritty harsh nature that I love in souls games.
Can’t wait for your dlc walkthrough! I’m on NG+ with my second character and I still follow your walkthrough every time bc of how thorough and efficient you are brother! Thank you!!
Your first sentence is the absolute best way you could have started this review. Bigger IS better in the case of a game like Elden Ring, so I am so happy to hear that it is indeed massive!
This is more than 3 years in the making. The team probably already had a small strike force dedicated to start the production on the DLC a year before the game released. Must have been great to see the reception and KNOW that you could deliver something the players would elevate once again 2 years after the main one. Re-installed on a lark a week ago, just so I could finish it for real. And now i am SERIOUSLY thinking about getting the DLC.
I love how you just whip out the shield and continue your train of thought and proceed to use the shield's ash of war like it's nothing. THIS THING LOOKS AWESOME. can't wait thank you Cowboy for another great video cant wait to watch your let's play of this.
@@Stuwithe weapon art says revenge of the night. I wonder what its stats are since it seems to easily one shot basic enemies, which is better than the actual weapon he is using.
Really awesome review! I was late to the party for ER. It’s my first souls game. I went in completely blind and at around 130 hrs I came across your channel when I was stuck on Ranni quest line. After that, I would go off doing my own thing then come back to your walkthrough to see if I’d missed anything. Your walkthrough helped me learn so much and was really enjoyable to watch. 400 hrs for my first playthrough 😂 and no PVP or co-op. I left that character somewhere in NG and started run throughs with new starting classes and still come back to your original walkthrough. I’ve never pre-ordered anything and am super excited for the DLC and will be looking forward to your walkthrough once I’ve completed a blind run. I really just wanted to say thanks .
Having followed for many years, from a young man to a middle-aged cowboy, I'm glad you're still here. Also, is my character level 150 too low, dude? Sorry for my bad English
Bought it this morning, but it'll be a while until I get there. I plan to restart with a fresh character. Elden Ring was my first souls game, and I hadn't grasped just how you're supposed to play a souls game. Now 2 years later with so many souls under my belt. I can't wait for the whole new experience both in the lands between, and then in Shadow. Glad I stumbled upon your video playing Nioh. You've made souls so much more approachable for me. Thanks for the content man!
Cowboy: i havent found this hammer but it speaks to me. I got to play for about 30 minutes last night, gona really start tonight, and the only thing i have found is that hammer. Kinda made me laugh because its literally at the very beginning of the dlc
I was worried that my lvl 170 character still in the first playthrough was going to be overpowered. Looks like it's still going to be quite the challenge. Thanks for clearing that up CB.
I resolved to not watch this video until I had beaten the DLC for myself: I am proud to say that just two weeks after this video has come out I have completed Shadow of the Erdtree, and I am excited to hear your take on it!
Two years ago I was watching you play then I bought it now I'm almost to the platinum jus waiting for the dlc to drop and still to this day I'm watching your walk through grabbing up anything extra until dlc
DLC isn’t that good, Steam reviews are getting lower and lower every time I check. It needs some patches and especially when it comes to balancing, difficulty is way too hard on most bosses. Wish I waited instead of hype buying it. Currently a 6/10 on Steam.
I haven’t played since I beat it back when it came out. I’m level 359 and tried to play today and got whipped. I forgot how to even call my horse. How in the heck am I gonna prep for this dlc?
@@BigboostedC5 bro do you want a cookie??? So what if you played them before the “hype” they’re still the same games and your opinion has the exact same weight bozo

Answers to some of the most common questions:
Yes there's more +10 smithing and somber.
Yes there's larval tears.
Yes there's stuff to level the new ashen spirits.

How about additional remembrance duplication sites?
Are stonesword keys required for anything in the dlc
@@dirkdiggler4567 I think another reviewer confirmed there's more. Thank god.

Can't wait !!
That hammer was the first new weapon i found besides milady
All I had to see was you make a review to pre Order
I found the hammer at the Church of Consolation in Gravesite Plain. Don’t know if it was a farm drop or a drop for killing the soldier at the church.
Can't wait for the walkthrough
I want to watch this so bad but I can't. I just don't wanna know or see anything until I play it myself. Glad you enjoyed it though CB. Can't freakin wait!
You should do a spoiler review and talk about bosses , endgame, dungeons , lore , etc .
I've been rushing to finish up a faith/int character and it looks like that was a very good idea.
The hammer I got as a drop from the church east of where you start
again i have returned to this land, to follow along with some fightingcowboy character! let this journey be joy'us! ;3
@5:15 not to brag, but i got his Hammer drop after my first encounter with him 😊
Oh my shit!! I’m so pumped. I’m taking PTO for like 3 days. 😂
So scared I gotta start this at ng3😊
That's all the info I need thanks dude stay 💪🛡⚔🏹
That weird pc “hang”
Has to due with shader buffering.
It’s something you’ll experience the very first time new shaders are generated and loaded into memory.
Do the power ups from the dlc carry over to new game plus or will you have to get them again like the smithing stones .
First 10 seconds of the video as soon as you said we were misled, i felt giddy like a child 😂 god i love miyazaki
Guess I am going to have to bump my level up. I stopped at 150 on the main game for PVP. This looks sick. Can't wait, this looks amazing.
Will you redo the entire game walkthrough with the DLC?
DlC's expectations were first heightened by witcher 3, I guess this is going to take it to another level.

I resolved to not watch this video until I had beaten the DLC for myself: I am proud to say that just two weeks after this video has come out I have completed Shadow of the Erdtree, and I am excited to hear your take on it!
Amazing!!! Im lvl400 ng+1 thanks to your walkthrough i cant wait to go on this journey with your guide 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Two years ago I was watching you play then I bought it now I'm almost to the platinum jus waiting for the dlc to drop and still to this day I'm watching your walk through grabbing up anything extra until dlc
DLC isn’t that good, Steam reviews are getting lower and lower every time I check. It needs some patches and especially when it comes to balancing, difficulty is way too hard on most bosses.
Wish I waited instead of hype buying it. Currently a 6/10 on Steam.
If my ass can get through most of the DLC, it's not that bad.
Steam reviews are because of iffy performance
@@Scowleasy that and a mix of the way they "Balanced" the DLC. Which I tend to agree with most of those reviews.
It has finally come!!
Expecting a full walkthrough!!! Please!
i guess we can expect a quality 100% walkthrough from you in the next 10-15 days right?
My Messmer statue is en route as we speak 💪
I'm ready for a new summer fling
I haven’t played since I beat it back when it came out. I’m level 359 and tried to play today and got whipped. I forgot how to even call my horse. How in the heck am I gonna prep for this dlc?
Thanks cowboy! I’m using your walkthrough to get set up for the DLC. I appreciate all the time and effort you throw into this stuff!
Ayyyy let's fuckin go!!! 🙏😤🙌
"Final boss is the hardest boss in From soft history"
So I probably won't be beating that lmao
Great review! I'm so stoked!
Elden Ring is one of my top 3 games of the last 10 years. To say I'm excited for this would be a huge understatement! 😊
🙄 your first souls game I'm sure...
@@BigboostedC5I played every souls game and I 100% agree with him shut up
@@ceoofmmm4663 congrats so have I...before the hype! 🙄
@@BigboostedC5 bro do you want a cookie??? So what if you played them before the “hype” they’re still the same games and your opinion has the exact same weight bozo
@@BigboostedC5I’ve played every Souls games + Bloodborne and Sekiro since Demon’s Souls on PS3. Do you have a point with your comment?
