If you thought Shadow of the Erdtree was difficult, try doing it at level one. That’s what YouTuber LastDarkHope has been doing, and they’ve been seeing nothing but success so far. Elden Ring has a few different metrics for power.
You have your Soul Level / Rune Level, but you also can upgrade your equipment to bolster your offense and defence. It’s recommended that you start Shadow of the Erdtree at level 150, alongside the very minimum of 50 Vigor. Claims that the expansion is are clearly unfounded, especially considering that you can take on like the Blackgaol Knight with nothing but a greatsword.
Attempting this without Fragments is near impossible, so LastDarkHope has been doing so, though something tells me this doesn’t negate any achievements. They have been recently though. The reality is that using these, at such a low level, is a pretty non-invasive buff, especially considering you will most likely get one tapped by most bosses if you’re not careful.
To top it off, even using the in Elden Ring won’t deal much damage without investment in your strength and dex attributes, and invoking magic without enough MP will drain your Cerulean Flask faster than anything. LastDarkHope’s tenacity has earned world firsts against bosses such as and Black Knight Edredd, amongst others, though their channel is still only small. You will.
