We are here. Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is releasing to the public after receiving rave reviews from critics this week,. But if you haven’t been paying too much attention, you will log on and…have no idea what to do.
There is no pop-up saying “thanks for buying Shadow of the Erdtree, head over here to start!” and some giant flashing arrow on your map telling you where to go. There is nothing. So here you are, trying to figure out what the hell is going on. You start Shadow of the Erdtree from one specific spot on the map. You need to interact with the Miquella Egg, which is in the room where you fight Mohg, Lord of Blood, in Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum in the Mohgwyn Palace.
This is an area underground in the south east corner of the map. If you are “ready” for the expansion, having already beat Mohg, you will have access to the egg through a site of grace just a few feet in front of it. Here is where that is located on the map:If you do not have access to it, or the Palace as a whole, there are two options to get there, though this will not be a full guide for those, as I’ll link you to more in depth ones.
