The 7 best Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree items to grab early on

Elden Ring's expansion is hard, but the best Shadow of the Erdtree items, brand new to this DLC, can help you survive its surprisingly tough encounters. If you ignored most of the items and crafting recipes you picked up in the base game, now's a good time to build some new habits. Unlike in the original campaign there aren't any core features of Shadow of the Erdtree hiding in an NPC shop (looking at you, crafting kit), but there are plenty of very powerful items near the starting region, Gravesite Plain.
