Summary

  • The Scadutree in Elden Ring's DLC is taller than its golden counterpart, the Erdtree, despite looking less imposing at first glance.
  • Lore expert Zullie the Witch calculated the Scadutree to be 4,498 meters tall, making it bigger than the Erdtree by 46 meters.
  • Despite the Erdtree's shimmering base and golden branches, the Scadutree's twiggy structure gives it an advantage in height over its counterpart.

Shadow of the Erdtree's Scadutree is big. Giving the DLC its name, literally called "The shadow of the Erdtree", the mammoth tree towers over The Land of Shadows, much like its golden counterpart, the Erdtree, does over The Lands Between.

However, while the Erdtree may look more foreboding, at least in its height, the Scadutree is actually slightly taller.

A Surprising Height Difference

Not content with discovering that Shadow of the Erdtree's unnamed Dragon is the biggest to have ever featured in a FromSoftware title, FromSoft lore expert Zullie the Witch has calculated the height of the Scadutree and compared it to the Erdtree.

The hulking, decrepit figure, housing the Scadutree Avatar, stands proudly in the northern regions of Elden Ring's Land of Shadows, between Scaduview and Hinterland. As estimated by Zullie, the tree is 4,498 meters tall, making it roughly five-and-a-half times taller than the largest human-made structure on earth, the Burj Khalifa, but only half the size of Mount Everest.

Zullie The Witch worked out that if you include the Scadutree's roots, which are submerged deep into The Land of Shadow's ocean, the tree stands 6,049 meters from root to tip.

When looking only at the above-ground sections of both trees, the Scadutree is surprisingly around 46 meters taller than the Erdtree, which clocks in at roughly 4,452 meters.

Positioning both side-by-side, the Erdree looks significantly larger. Its shimmering base and golden branches give it an air of superiority; however, the Scadutree's twiggy structure means it has an advantage. A handful of withered branches poke out above the Erdtree's canopy, equating to the 46-meter difference Zullie calculated.
