How to Remove Shadow Elden Ring DLC
The Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, has captivated players with its vast open world and intricate lore. One of the most intriguing aspects of this game is the DLC, which introduces new areas, characters, and storylines. However, some players may find the DLC, specifically the “Shadow” DLC, to be less enjoyable or even frustrating. If you’re one of those players and want to remove the Shadow Elden Ring DLC, this article will guide you through the process.
Step 1: Locate the DLC Files
To remove the Shadow Elden Ring DLC, you first need to locate the DLC files on your system. If you’re playing on a PC, the files are typically stored in the game’s installation directory. For consoles, the process may vary depending on the platform.
On PC, navigate to the following directory:
“`
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elden Ring\Gamedata\dlc
“`
Inside this folder, you will find the DLC files for the Shadow DLC.
For consoles, you will need to use a file explorer that supports reading console files. The exact location of the DLC files may vary, but they are usually stored in a similar directory.
Step 2: Delete the DLC Files
Once you have located the Shadow Elden Ring DLC files, delete them. Be sure to back up any important files before proceeding, as deleting these files will remove the DLC from your game.
On PC, simply right-click on the DLC files and select “Delete.” On consoles, you may need to use the file explorer’s delete function or a third-party application.
Step 3: Verify Game Files (PC Only)
If you’re playing on PC, it’s a good idea to verify the game files to ensure that the game runs smoothly after removing the DLC. To do this, open the Steam client, go to your library, right-click on Elden Ring, and select “Properties.” Then, click on the “Local Files” tab and choose “Verify Integrity of Game Files.”
Step 4: Restart the Game
After deleting the Shadow Elden Ring DLC files and verifying the game files (if applicable), restart the game. The DLC should no longer be present, and you can continue your adventure without the Shadow DLC.
By following these steps, you can easily remove the Shadow Elden Ring DLC and return to the original game experience. Remember that this process will not affect your game progress or any other DLCs you may have installed. Happy adventuring!
