Volume 3 of the official Elden Ring strategy guide is all about Shadow of the Erdtree

A new volume in the Elden Ring: Books of Knowledge series will be released later this year, helping players navigate the massive Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion. Elden Ring: Books of Knowledge Volume 3: Shadow of the Erdtree is packed with encyclopedic information about the densely populated Shadow of the Erdtree realm, its inhabitants, and all of the new game content, as well as behind-the-scenes materials that provide a deeper look into the expansion. The hardcover book is scheduled to be released on 30. Septemberand you can pre-order it now for $45 from Future Press.

The book is live on Amazon, but pre-orders are not yet available (as of July 6, 3:00 p.m. PT). We recommend clicking the link below to see if the stock situation on Amazon has changed since our last update. We will update this article again when pre-orders are available on Amazon.

Like the first two books in the series, Elden Ring: Books of Knowledge Volume 3: Shadow of the Erdtree is both a game guide and an in-depth art book that fans of all stripes should read. It includes detailed breakdowns of the expansion’s new characters and quest lines, as well as full walkthroughs of the new bosses, enemies, dungeons, and explorable regions. In addition to the written guides, the book is packed with artwork, including brand new concept art and full-page illustrations of landscapes, characters, weapons, and more.

Due to the huge success of Elden Ring, demand for Volumes 1 and 2 was very high, and with Shadow of the Erdtree breaking all records to become the best-selling video game DLC of all time, we expect Volume 3 to be well-received as well, so it’s worth pre-ordering your copy as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Elden Ring: Books of Knowledge Volume 1 and Volume 2 are currently sold out online, but you can still order a copy of Volume 1 from Amazon to be shipped after the reprint. There’s a chance that Volume 2 will be reprinted as well – but resellers are currently offering it at ridiculous prices (over $100).

Aside from that, there are plenty of other Elden Ring books, including the two-part “Elden Ring: Official Artbook (Part 1, Part 2),” both of which are discounted, and several volumes of the “Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree” manga, all of which are available on Amazon.
