Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree: How Long To Beat

By Solomon ThompsonJune 30, 2024
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree: How Long To Beat

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is a significant expansion to the base game, Elden Ring. Players are eager to dive into this new content, but many wonder how much time they should set aside to fully experience everything the DLC has to offer. Depending on a player’s skill level and the amount of content they wish to engage with, the hours required to beat the game can vary widely.

Here, we will break down the estimated time to complete the expansion in different playstyles, giving you a clearer picture of what to expect.

How Long To Beat Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

Main Story Completion Time

For players who focus solely on the main story, Shadow of the Erdtree offers a substantial amount of content. Completing just the main story is estimated to take between 20-25 hours. This range accounts for variations in player skill, with more experienced players potentially completing it closer to the 20-hour mark, while others may need more time.

Main Story and Additional Content

For players who enjoy delving a bit beyond the main storyline but don’t aim for 100% completion, you can expect to spend between 30-35 hours in the game. This includes engaging with some side quests, defeating a few optional bosses, and exploring additional areas. This mode of play allows you to experience a richer story without committing to finding every secret the expansion holds.

Full Game Completion

For the completionists out there, Shadow of the Erdtree promises a deep and expansive adventure. To achieve 100% completion—covering every side quest, defeating all minibosses, exploring all areas, and collecting every special item—you should be prepared to invest 60+ hours. This thorough approach ensures that you don’t miss any part of what the expansion has to offer.

The actual time it takes to beat Shadow of the Erdtree can vary significantly based on two main factors: player skill and exploration habits. Player skill influences how quickly one can defeat bosses and navigate challenging areas. Meanwhile, exploration impacts how long it takes to discover where to go next in the game’s non-linear world. Players who are highly skilled and familiar with Elden Ring’s mechanics may find the expansion shorter, whereas those who enjoy exploring every nook and cranny will likely spend more time.
