Elden Ring Reveals Terrifying Omen-like Creature That’s Most Likely a Boss Fight in Shadow of the Erdtree

There’s no doubt that Elden Ring is one of the best open-world fantasy action RPGs out there. The game captivates players with its open-world exploration, mini-dungeons, and fun co-op gameplay. With the game shattering all records, the developers are soon releasing a brand-new DLC for the Elden Ring called Shadow of the Erdtree.

While we know quite a bit about the upcoming DLC, Elden Ring’s official X/Twitter account has unveiled a new terrifying adversary that resembles an old enemy. This revelation has caused major excitement and speculation among players eagerly anticipating the upcoming expansion.

As Shadow of the Erdtree DLC draws closer to the release date, fans of the franchise are excited to see what FromSoftware has planned for the title. The DLC trailers and glimpses have given us a look at the upcoming new weapons, areas, enemies, and much more. However, Elden Ring’s official X/Twitter account today revealed a new enemy that’s all set to terrorize players.

Judging by the creature’s spiraling, gnarly horns, it’s a sure sign of an Omen. This type of monster is found throughout the game’s base map. It looks like the upcoming DLC’s Land of Shadows consists of Omens of its own, or one special one if this creature is a boss.

In Elden Ring, Omens are known for their imposing size and cursed nature, but the one revealed in the post seems to be a different breed.  The creature’s appearance is more feminine, with long hair, a slender mask, a draped skirt, and a shorter frame. Some players believe that the creature’s body resembles a uterus.

The mythical monster’s weapons are massive chakrams. FromSoftware has already confirmed that weapons are set to play a major role in the upcoming DLC. Hopefully, the expanded arsenal brings these chakrams, whether it’s a standard item or a boss one. Although Crystallines already use chakrams in the game, they are still unavailable to players. We hope that players also get access to this weapon soon! 

Elden Ring’s upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is supposed to occur in a physically disconnected setting dubbed Land of Shadows. The expansion content will be accessible from the base game through a cocoon in Mohg’s boss arena. Players can expect to see open fields, ruins, and a dark looming tree. 

It’s already been confirmed that this expansion is the biggest one ever developed by the studio, and the content will be on par with the base game. However, fans must wait until June 21st, 2024, to begin their journey in Land of Shadows.
