The press came revealed a up-to-date volume in his Elden Ring Official Strategy Guide series. The Books of Knowledge collection contains key information, clues, and lore for The Lands Between in Volume 1 and Shards of the Shattering in Volume 3.

Elden Ring Official Strategy Guide Volume 3: Shadow of Erdtree

This up-to-date volume will serve as a complete catalog of the Shadow Realm and its inhabitants, combining the map-based world and dungeon guides with the detailed statistics and analysis of enemies and equipment offered in previous editions. It could be a must-have manual for the Elden Ring DLC and an impressive collector’s item.
As you can see, this isn’t Future Press’s first rodeo covering FromSoftware games in such detail. They recently revealed a brand up-to-date edition of the Bloodborne Complete Guide as part of the publisher’s 25th anniversary (currently 41% off pre-orders) and also produced a hugely popular reprint of the Dark Souls Trilogy Guide.
We gave Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree a 10/10 rating, stating: “Like the base game before it, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree raises the bar for single-player DLC expansions. It takes everything that made the base game such a groundbreaking RPG, condenses it into a relatively tight 20-25 hour campaign, and provides fantastic new challenges for heavily committed fans.”
Shadow of the Erdtree, set to release on June 21, 2024, features bosses that will truly test players’ limits, according to director Hidetaka Miyazaki. If Radahn is among those formidable foes, and while you wait for Future Press’ strategy guide, be sure to check out IGN’s comprehensive guide for details on the up-to-date weapon, questline, and strategy for defeating the large man himself in the expansion.
