"Elden Ring DLC Prep: OP Builds, Vigor Tips, and Starting Points"

With the upcoming release of Elden Ring's DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, on June 21, players are advised to refamiliarize themselves with the game. Starting New Game+ (NG+) is one way to do this, but it overwrites your save file, so consider your time and goals. NG+ retains your level, Runes, and most items but resets quest progress. Alternatively, creating a new character can help you get back into the game's combat without affecting your main save. The DLC will feature a unique leveling system, making your current level less critical.
