Since it came out, one of the big talking points about Elden Ring‘s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has been its difficulty, as well as how its systems differ from the base game. The need to collect Scadutree Fragments in order to avoid a bunch of hassle in leveling up your character has proven a bit controversial, but there’s now a mod that aims to do away with this treasure hunt.
While gathering up Scadutree Fragments – which you can read our guide to the locations of here – isn’t techincally mandatory in the expansion, it’s something you’ll want to do if you don’t want to face an awful lot of rune farming instead in order to stack up the the hardest challenges Shadow of the Erdtree has to offer. If you’ve been playing and think you’d prefer to progress in a manner that’s a bit more like the base game, that’s where this mod I’m about to tell you about may come in handy.
‘Normalized DLC damage‘ is the name of this work from modder Sereenaty, and they cite it as doing a couple of things. First of all, as you might expect given the name, it makes the damage you’ll take and deal in the DLC more similar to that of the base game. Spirit summons have also had their damage brought in line with what you’ll be used to from your years of exploring the Lands Between.
