Elden Ring: How Long to Beat Shadow of the Erdtree?

Shadow of the Erdtree, the Elden Ring DLC, provides a lengthy amount of additional content, but how long does it take to beat?

The much-anticipated expansion for Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, is out now. The DLC looks to take players to a new world with new, challenging enemies and bosses to fight. Luckily, it seems that players can expect a lengthy amount of content in the expansion of Elden Ring.

How Long is Shadow of the Erdtree?

To see Shadow of the Erdtree to its conclusion, players will need 25-30 hours of playtime. Completionists exploring the entirety of the world and all of its secrets will likely take 30-40 hours. The amount of time to beat the DLC will also differ depending on the player. Elden Ring has varying experiences for players, especially regarding difficulty. Therefore, players may take longer or shorter to complete Shadow of the Erdtree.

The DLC is aiming to be more challenging than the base game of Elden Ring, so players must ensure their character’s stats are high before tackling the new enemies. It will also take time to acclimate and learn the attack patterns of the new bosses.
