Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtreehas an entirely new region for players to explore known as the Shadow World. This land is full of new enemies, bosses, weapons, and armor for players to find and use. With theDLC being much more challenging, players should look around for new gear and options to better handle the challenges ahead.

Like the base game, some of these items are more difficult to find and will require the completion of a puzzle. Paintings are one of these puzzles, as they task players with finding the painted location and where the artist stood when they made the piece. Just like the paintings in the base game, these will give players an image of a location found somewhere in the world, with players' goal being to find the exact spot the painter sat while making the piece.

Guarded Damage Negation:

Thisshield’s biggest focus is on its fire resistance, which is fairly handy considering the amount of enemies that use fire in the Shadow Lands. Its low stat requirements make it a great option to pick up and use even if you’re notmainly a strength build. This shield comes as a blank slate without any useful skill, but players can travelback to the main map ofElden Ringto theRoundtable Hold, and infuse this shield with an Ash of War to make it a bit more useful.
