Bandai Namco issues Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree PSATo access Shadow of the Erdtree, players must have defeated both Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood. According to achievement and trophy data, quite a few players, Xbox players in particular, have yet to beat these bosses, which has led to Bandai Namco issuing a "friendly PSA" ahead of Shadow of the Erdtree's release. Retweeting streamer Cohh Carnage, who highlighted that around 60% of Elden Ring Steam players had not defeated Mohg and unlocked the corresponding achievement, Bandai Namco said on Twitter: "Friendly PSA for all those looking forward to Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. You have less than two weeks to prepare!"The Secret Achievement achievement in Elden Ring worth 40 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievementThe achievement Cohh Carnage highlights is Shardbearer Mohg, which, as global Xbox achievement data shows, has only been unlocked by 23% of Elden Ring players on the platform, meaning the remaining 77% of players won't currently be able to enjoy Shadow of the Erdtree at launch. On PS5, it shows that 35% of players have the trophy.As for defeating Radahn, we can see from the Shardbearer Radahan achievement that 33% of Elden Ring players have managed to beat the hulking boss. The unlock percentage for this on Steam sits at 55% and 47% on PS5. The Secret Achievement achievement in Elden Ring worth 35 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievementObviously, not everyone who has fired up Elden Ring will be picking up the DLC, but it will be interesting to see where Elden Ring will sit in our Xbox Gameplay Chart over the next few weeks. Of course, the number of Elden Ring Xbox players who won't be able to start Shadow of Erdtree next week is likely higher than the stats show due to players having unlocked both achievements and going on to start new save files without having beaten both bosses again.Looking at TA completion percentages for these achievements, 54% have beaten Mohg, and 70% have beaten Radahn. Radahn is considered one of the more challenging bosses to beat, and Mohg isn't exactly easy either, so if you want to jump straight into Shadow of the Erdtree upon release, you'll want to bring down these Shardbearers before June 21.In an interview with FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki, it was confirmed that Shadow of the Erdtree will be Elden Ring's only expansion.More ELDEN RING stories: Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC sounds like it's going to be special Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree will be its only DLC but sequel is still a possibility Most popular Xbox games — Fallout continues to dominate Best Xbox RPGs Elden Ring sees 78% spike in Xbox players after Shadow of the Erdtree announcement Data AnalysisXbox Series X|SDLCUpcoming ReleaseXbox One Written by Sean CareyAvid Xbox and achievement fan, Sean has committed to playing the best RPGs, racing games, and first-person shooters Xbox Game Pass and his precious free time will allow.
