Overview
Preparation for the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC involves accumulating upgrade materials, runes, and unlocking Mohgwyn Palace.
Accessing the expansion requires navigating through the Consecrated Snowfields via the Great Lift of Rold to Mohgwyn Palace and defeating Mohg, Lord of Blood, to reach the cocooned withered arm.
Rune farming is effective at Palace Approach Ledge Road using the Sacred Relic Sword, and defeating Mohg is facilitated by bleed builds rather than fire builds.
