Shadow of the Erdtree is considered by some players to be essentially Elden Ring 1.5 thanks to the sheer amount of new content available for players to explore – and the ridiculous number of new weapons in Shadow of the Erdtree that add to the game's already huge weapon and build variety.

All Major Bosses in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

In the Elden Ring DLC, there are a total of eleven major Shadow of the Erdtree bosses, but you don't need to beat all of them to beat the DLC.

In fact, there are more than a hundred new weapons, many of which belong to no less than eight new weapon types. This guide details every single new weapon in the Elden Ring DLC, separated into two sections: boss weapons and weapons that belong to these eight new weapon types, like the Beast Claws, Backhand Blades, or Perfume Bottles, and weapons belonging to base game weapon types, like Axes, Fist Weapons, and Greatswords.

Updated July 26, 2024 by Erik Petrovich: In the Elden Ring DLC, weapons can be found all over the Realm of Shadow, but knowing what makes every new SOTE weapon unique can help you decide which ones to go for first. To help players figure out which of the new DLC weapons Elden Ring introduces in SOTE, this guide has been updated to provide a basic description of each weapon's special attributes – including split Damage Types, Status Effect buildup, and other unique properties that make each of these new DLC weapons Elden Ring players can find worth getting.
