Alright, guys, let’s talk about “Shadow of the Erdtree” and those bosses you absolutely have to beat to get through the story. I spent the whole weekend banging my head against these guys, so I figured I’d share what I learned – hopefully save you some frustration.

Getting Started: My Initial Plan (That Failed)
First, I jumped in totally blind. No guides, no tips, just pure, unadulterated exploration. I figured I’d just wander around, find cool stuff, and stumble upon the main story naturally. That… didn’t exactly work. I spent hours getting wrecked by random enemies and mini-bosses that, while fun, didn’t actually get me anywhere closer to finishing the DLC.
Realizing My Mistakes and Changing Tactics
So, I swallowed my pride and did some digging. Turns out, there’s a pretty specific path you need to follow, at least for the mandatory bosses. I started a fresh character, just to be sure, and this time I focused on efficiency.
The Necessary Steps
-
First things first, you need to beat some old * you finished the base game you are in the right place.
-
I headed straight there, ignored all the shiny distractions(I learned my lesson), and finally defeated this mandatory enemy.
-
After that, I focused to find next location, and defeated other mandatory boss.
-
And last step. I found some other locations and I defeated last mandatory bosses.
Finally Made It!
It took a few tries, a lot of deaths, and maybe a few rage quits, but I finally managed to beat all the mandatory bosses and see the ending of “Shadow of the Erdtree”. It was a tough journey, but totally worth it. My biggest takeaway? Sometimes, a little guidance is necessary, even for a seasoned Souls player like myself. Don’t be afraid to look things up if you’re stuck – it might just save your sanity!
