In terms of surface area, the new map will apparently exceed that of Limgrave in the base game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Shadow of the Erdtree is expected to feature more than 10 boss fights, as well as additional equipment, skills and 8 new weapon types. The DLC will even include challenges on par with the Malenia, Blade of Miquella boss fight in terms of difficulty.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-283431-001.jpg\" alt=\"Elden Ring gameplay\" class=\"wp-image-27587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-283431-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-283431-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-283431-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-283431-001-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But above all, players can also expect to have another run-in with poison swamps, as Miyazaki has unfailingly included one in Shadow of the Erdtree too.
