The upcoming expansion to Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, will feature 100 new weapons and over 10 boss fights.
Fresh details regarding new weapons and boss fights in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree have been shared via a new hands-on preview on the PlayStation Blog. Based on the information shared, the upcoming expansion will feature more than 10 main bosses as well as additional side bosses. Defeating some of them is required to progress the story, while others are optionally available to challenge.
As for the new weapons, it has been revealed that Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree will add around 100 of them for players to discover. This isn’t just limited to new weapons within the weapon type categories available in the base game, however. Players can also discover eight brand-new weapon types. FromSoftware has yet to reveal details on many of these weapon types, though one that was available to try out is the Martial Arts category. This new weapon type allows players to engage in combat bare-handed, as the Tarnished One gains the ability to dish out heavy punches and kicks into their enemies.
The hands-on session featured access to 2 main bosses. The first, the Devine Beast Dancing Lion, is found in Belurat Tower Settlement. The beast is fairly agile in its movement, and can use a mix of elemental and physical abilities to deal damage to your character. The second boss is the magic-wielding Twin Moon Knight, one of the guardians of Castle Ensis, who can perform an AoE attack that unleashes magic blasts upon the entire area. The boss can also use a combination of pyro and glintstone-infused blades to attack the player.
