Legions of Elden Ring fans have been scouring The Lands Between in recent weeks ever since director Hidetaka Miyazaki let slip that something (secret, reference, or otherwise) remained to be unearthed. A newly discovered link between a shield in the base game and enemies in the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree expansion has been found and may indeed be that missing link.

Some new enemies in ’s DLC have been shown with the reveal of the expansion’s gameplay trailer. The long-awaited DLC for FromSoftware’s award-winning RPG was first announced in February 2023, approximately a year after the base game’s original release. At the time, the content was teased with key art featuring a blond character, believed to be Miquella, mounted on a Spirit Steed with the Erdtree far in the distance. Little to no details were known about the DLC until the DLC gameplay trailer reveal, which showcased a lot of the upcoming content.

Individual humanoid figures like her tend to be challenging, though there is still an off chance she represents a new regular and recurrent enemy type in the expansion.
In a portion of the video dedicated to showing new abilities and weapons in action, players can see the Tarnished fighting off two enemies that look like undead priests. These opponents carry candelabras and wear torn yellow and brown robes that cover most of their bodies in .
These opponents are capable of spreading fire to deal damage against the player. The scene in the trailer for the DLC is not clear, but it does seem like they blow on the fire on the candelabras to use their fire-breathing technique.
One fairly common-looking opponent, for the standards of the Lands Between, seems like a ghost carrying a large cleaver. This stretched-out humanoid figure is seen running toward a Tarnished in the trailer, only to be eliminated before reaching their target by the player’s throwing knives ability in .
