Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Shadow of the Erdtree save file safe to use?

Yes, but only in offline mode. Using modified save files while connected to FromSoftware servers may result in a soft ban. The .sl2 file itself is plain game data — completely safe.

Yes. The DLC content will only load if you own Shadow of the Erdtree on Steam. Without it, the save will load but DLC areas will be inaccessible.

Does this save include the base game completed?

Which bosses are defeated in the DLC?

All DLC bosses are defeated including Messmer the Impaler, Commander Gaius, Romina Saint of the Bud, Bayle the Dread, Midra Lord of Frenzied Flame, and Promised Consort Radahn — the final boss.

Will my antivirus flag the save file?

No. Save files (.sl2) are plain data files and cannot contain viruses. They will never trigger antivirus software.

About Shadow of the Erdtree

Shadow of the Erdtree is the first and only DLC expansion for Elden Ring, released in June 2024. Set in the Land of Shadow, a mysterious realm hidden from the Lands Between, the DLC follows the Tarnished as they trace the path of Miquella in search of his destiny.

The expansion adds a massive new open world area with entirely new dungeons, legacy dungeons, bosses, weapons, armor sets, spells, and story content. It is widely considered one of the best DLC expansions ever released for an action RPG.

Key new bosses include Messmer the Impaler, Bayle the Dread, and Promised Consort Radahn — regarded as one of the most challenging boss encounters in FromSoftware history.
