      Did you spend that time trying to fight the Tree Sentinal (mounted knight boss) just in front of where you start? You don’t have to, and you shouldn’t unless you’re extremely skilled or masochistic. You can go around and find less dangerous enemies.

      Here’s 2 tips:

      1. Level up Vigor. Health is how you make early game easier.

      2. Skip bosses. There isn’t a hard linear progression path and different builds struggle with different parts of the game.

          Everyone experiences fun in their own ways. You’re allowed to not want to play hard games just like other people are allowed to want to play hard games. It doesn’t have to be an argument about which is “better.”

        That’s fair, maybe I’ll give it another shot one of these days. A friend of mine also suggested running from some of the enemies.

          Yeah, that’s what my 2nd point is about also. It is natural to hit roadblocks, and in ER usually the correct move is to pursue a different path and come back once you’re stronger. It can be a fun game, but forcing yourself to play it is not right either

      I think you’re missing something.

      You don’t have to engage with the angry strong monsters.

      Video games have made us believe we are the heroes. In Elden Ring, we are specks.
