How to get Strong for the DLC | Shadow of the Erdtree

My last video showed how to rush a new character to the DLC in 2 hours:    • New Character to DLC quickly | Full Guide ...   Now let's get this character tanky in about 1 more hour. We'll get buffs, talismans, and I'll show a scadutree fragment route. If you want to get quickly overpowered, you can follow this guide next:    • How to be a Stunlock Tank | All Boss Guide...   The goal is to get to the Elden Ring DLC quickly without being a speedrunner. And then get our character strong enough to comfortably start the DLC. Starting around level 80 is a little more challenging, but it means we level up more quickly, which gives a greater sense of progression. This guide emphasizes early damage negation. That way we can survive longer and learn boss movesets. But feel free to boost your damage with things like: Flame grant me strength, Two-handed sword talisman, Ritual sword talisman, etc. Thanks so much for watching!
