“Welcome to the ELDEN RING: DLC Easy Start Walkthrough! This guide will show you how to collect all Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ash without having to defeat any bosses or disrupting questlines. Get ready to level up your game with these simple steps.”
Intro
This guide will walk through getting as many Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ash as possible without having to kill any bosses or causing any questline issues. By following everything in this guide, you can get to Scadutree Blessing (10) and Revered Spirit Ash Blessing (6) which translates to a 65% damage dealt increase and ~40% damage taken reduction for yourself as well as a 45% damage dealt increase and ~30% damage taken reduction for your Spirit Ashes. The max for each is (20) and (10) which results in ~double damage dealt/half damage taken for you and ~75% damage dealt/~37.5% damage taken reduction for your Spirit Ashes which means your over halfway to max before fighting a single boss.
I’ve confirmed that, so long as you do not explore further than the guide leads you, you will not affect any questlines with the possible exception of 1 NPC(more testing is needed) but you absolutely will if you do. I will provide warnings on where specifically is the boundary when you reach it, but that is much later in the guide so there’s no need to worry for a while. The one NPC that may be affected won’t change anything except his location, dialogue and you will not receive one ‘hint’ item that won’t actually affect you due to this guide taking you to the hinted locations.
To avoid missing anything, I recommend interacting with every NPC and Miquella’s Cross that you see throughout the guide as this will make sure there are no questline issues and will unlock dialogue for the questlines without actually advancing the questlines.
I should have a questline walkthrough ready sometime this weekend if all goes well but until then, I hope everyone enjoys the guide and please let me know if you have any suggestions, fixes or feedback!
