Shadow of the Erdtree Trailer First Thoughts (Video and Screenshots)

Things I saw:

I saw some new weapons including the duel sword set that you hold upside down. I saw a character doing karate. I saw some new armor sets and big ass weapons. I saw a new sleep incantation or spell AOE with butterflies that exploded like Astel’s attack. I saw a swamp area with orange liquid that screams poison and I saw green eyes on a monstrosity. I saw a fire giant boss made from cages full of death with a face attached to its midsection that looked like a fire giant with a red beard. I saw three different pots, one small, one that you can throw with both hands that exploded, and huge ones hanging. Maybe these pots will become living pots. I saw a crazy crossbow, a fan shield, and a man fly with angel wings. I saw a mesmerizing force with yellow eyes and red flames that scorched the earth. I saw some megafauna and a face-sucking demon. Not in a good way. I saw mysteries and treasures and I saw myself exploring it all in June.

Things I want:

I would love it if there was a better system for continuous coop in the DLC and I hope that it will apply to the main game.

I would love it if there were way more than just ten new bosses. That seems about right for a DLC but compared to the main game it is not much. I assume there will be at least one notable NPC invader and some field bosses that are not easy.

I would love to see cross-play coop so I can play with more folks that aren’t cheaters.

I would love to see a new starting build.

I would love to see an update that counts statistics like total runes lost/acquired, total deaths, and maybe bosses defeated. Stats related to all my characters combined would be cool as well.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Covenants come back for the DLC and maybe work in the main game as well. If there were rewards that were worth the effort and if it didn’t make it all too tedious.

I plan to play the DLC on Twitch when it comes out on June 21, 2024, so check me out here: https://www.twitch.tv/lukefno2
