The newElden Ringexpansion brought several new enemies to the game, and some of them are quite curious. For instance, players recently discovered thatElden Ring’s huge Furnace Golems are weak to fire, despite this not making much real-world sense considering they’re actually on fire when fighting.
While most gamers would argue that both Golem Smiths and Furnace Golems can be beaten with some effort, some enemies are quite a pain forElden Ringplayers. One example is the masked assassinCurseblade who is wrecking manyShadow of the Erdtreeplayersat the start of the DLC.
WhileShadow of the Erdtreeis being praised by most critics, it’s not exactly loved by all players due to its high difficulty level, which is higher than the base game. Among theElden Ringplayers who findShadow of the Erdtreetoo hardare many veterans who did not expect some of the bosses to be so difficult to beat. In any case, the DLC added many new enemies, and it’s likely that gamers will find the most optimal strategies to beat them all over time.
