Being new to FromSoftware video games isn't easy, especially when it comes to Elden Ring (base) and Shadow of the Erdtree. In general, video games have accustomed us to playing with marks on minimaps and/or maps, arrows on the interface and mission menus with clear objectives. However, there isn't much help in the Lands Between and the Shadow Realm. Little more than Thanks and some consumables.
While many players frown upon playing with guides in Elden Ring, you should know that there is no dishonor in doing so, just as there is no harm in using NPC or player summons. In this sense, the community has created a map for those who prefer to enjoy the DLC with a clear destination at all times.
This map, created and shared by Eziolambo on Reddit, shows the Shadow Realm in a slightly different way: there are arrows and markings everywhere. It shows all the paths we can follow throughout the adventure to complete the main story, side quests, and discover secret areas.
Seeing the path on the map is only a help, a reference. Making the path is a much more complex story, especially when there are labyrinths and secret entrances. In any case, it is a good starting point for new players to orient themselves and have a clear destination at all times.
