Catacombs are a staple of Elden Ring, and Shadow of the Erdtree certainly doesn’t hold back. You’ll explore three of them on your journey to complete the DLC, one of which is required to access a large portion of the map. So, let’s get started with grave robbing.
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree – Мінус 280 годин життя
There are three catacombs in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. Two of them are west of the Scadu Altus, and one is east, above the Abyssal Woods map. The two to the west, the Scorpion River Catacomb and the Fog Rift Catacomb, are simple loot boxes with interesting items inside. The Darklight Catacombs to the east are required to explore the Abyssal Woods, making that catacomb a bit more important.
Hidden in the mists of the Fog Rift, at the northernmost point, you’ll find the Fog Rift Catacombs. This is a fairly straightforward dungeon, featuring the unique Imps of the Shadow of the Erdtree map and the new caster enemy, the Inquisitor. Watch out for falling Spike Traps and make sure to find a way to climb on top of them. This will usually lead to a new area, such as riding the longest Spike Trap to the top to get the Stone-sheathed Sword Altar and Electrocharge spell.
The boss of this dungeon is the Death Knight, a powerful enemy with electric axes. Try to avoid them to avoid their next lightning strikes. This boss staggers relatively easily, so don't be afraid to attack very quickly. The Crimson Amber Medallion Plus Three and his axes await those who kill him.
