The upcoming official strategy guide for Elden Ring’s massive Shadow of the Erdtree expansion has received its first discount at Amazon. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree – Books of Knowledge, Volume 3 is up for grabs for only $30. Since going up for preorder earlier this month, the hardcover guidebook had maintained its $45 list price, but now Elden Ring fans can save 33%. Keep in mind that the first two volumes still regularly sell for full price–Volume 1 is $45 right now, and Volume 2 sold out at its $45 price in June. In other words, the current $30 preorder offer for Volume 3 is unexpected, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see the price switch back to $45 soon.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree – Books of Knowledge, Volume 3 will be published by Future Press in hardcover format on September 30, the same day as the anniversary edition of Bloodborne’s official guidebook. Preorders for the 736-page Bloodborne Complete Guide, which contains lore and artwork alongside the full walkthrough, are also steeply discounted at Amazon ($25 off).
$30 (was $45)
With Amazon’s preorder guarantee, you’ll pay the lowest price offered from the moment you order until your book is shipped. So if you already preordered at full price, don’t worry: You don’t need to do anything: Amazon will automatically discount the price of your order to the best price, and you won’t pay until the book ships.
Like the first two books in the series, this 352-page tome is a gameplay guide and an in-depth art book that fans of all stripes will want to check out. 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. Along with the written guides, the book is packed with artwork, including all-new concept art and full-page illustrations of landscapes, characters, weapons, and more.
The first two volumes in the Elden Ring strategy guide series were in high demand at launch and remain popular today. With Shadow of the Erdtree breaking records to become the best-selling video game DLC ever–it earned a rare 10/10 in our Shadow of the Erdtree review–we expect Volume 3 will be popular as well, so it’s worth preordering your copy as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Volume 2 remains sold out and unavailable to order at Amazon, but you can place an order for Volume 1, and Amazon will ship it once the retailer restocks it. Chances are Volume 2 will see a reprint as well–but resellers are listing it for frankly ridiculous prices at the moment (over $249 on Amazon).
That said, there are plenty of other Elden Ring books out there, including the two-part Elden Ring: Official Artbook (Part 1, Part 2), both of which are discounted, and multiple volumes of the Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree manga, all of which are available at Amazon.

More FromSoftware books
If you’re looking for even more books based on FromSoftware’s beloved series of brutal action RPGs, the anniversary edition of Future Press’ Bloodborne Complete Strategy Guide will be released the same day as Elden Ring: Books of Knowledge, Volume 3. It also happens to be steeply discounted at its current $35.34 price (was $60). You can also grab the recently released Dark Souls Trilogy Compendium Anniversary Edition for a (smaller) discount.
