Spoilers ahead for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
While the difficulty has been a major talking point of Shadow of the Erdtree, several fans have noted that the game does have several useful items that can make things significantly easier for them. For instance, some Elden Ring fans have been using the Backhand Blade along with the Swift Slash Ash of War in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, and that is an extremely effective combo as well. However, there is something even more powerful.

As Difficult as Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Is, It Shows that FromSoftware Is Listening to Player Feedback
Much ink has been spilled about Shadow of the Erdtree’s difficulty, but less has been said about the steps it takes with accessibility.
In a new post on the Elden Ring subreddit, user supaboss2015 highlights an extremely powerful strategy to take down bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree. The player uses the Lightning Perfume Bottle in Shadow of the Erdtree, which is a newly added item, to take down the final boss in the DLC, Promised Consort Radahn. After entering the arena, it barely takes the user 30 seconds to take down a boss which is considered one of the most difficult bosses not only in Elden Ring but also in the history of Souls games.
The Redditor uses a plethora of buffs to make the build even more powerful. Firstly, there are a few Elden Ring Talismans that are equipped. The Lightning Scorpion, Shard of Alexander, Aged One’s Exultation, and the Perfumer Talisman are used to increase the damage output. Then, the player uses a series of incantations and consumables, starting with the Howl of Shabriri to induce madness and increase damage, alongside the Golden Vow and the Lightning Cracked Tear and Bloodsucking Cracked Tear Wondrous Physick. Finally, a Boiled Crab is used to increase physical damage negation. The Rakshasa armor set is equipped to slightly increase damage, and with all that in place, all it needed was five attacks to completely obliterate both phases of Radahn.
How To Get The Lightning Perfume Bottle
To get the Lightning Perfume Bottle, players need to head to the Cerulean Coast in Shadow of the Erdtree. There is a lightning ram in the area that can be extremely annoying to deal with, but players should otherwise be able to get the item without much hassle. However, simply having the item isn’t enough to get the effects demonstrated in the video, as there are a few other tweaks that players need to make. Precisely, one needs to get the Rolling Spark Ash of War in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, for which players need to head to the Shadow Keep. After that, the Lightning Perfume Bottle needs to be infused with the Rolling Spark Ash of War, and then players are all set.
