Shadow of the Erdtreeis by far one of the most widely celebrated DLCs to have been released this year, and a big credit for it goes to a small errand that is part of everybody’s lives.

A Household Errand Made Shadow of the Erdtree Possible

According to Ymir, a high priest who oversees the cathedral of Manus Metyr, who gave his account of what is believed to be the major reason why the DLC was made possible within the lore of the game.

It was made possible because the Greater Will was off getting milk, leaving Marika behind to work with the fingers under Metyr’s instructions, which she should have been given by her parents.

Many gods and other creatures were left behind by Greater Will to fight for the abandoned land that took the shape of theShadow of the Erdtreeand gaveElden Ringa much-needed fresh lore and map extension.
