Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

While playing Elden Ring, players will come across countless NPC Invaders. These are hostile NPCs that appear once players reach a certain location, complete a certain step of quests, or when they are told specific things.

With the addition of Shadow of the Erdtree, the game's DLC, players will unlock a whole new set of NPC Invaders that they may come across while playing. Here's a breakdown of all the DLC invasions that can happen.
