Elden Ring

I can see how someone might need a guide to follow something like Ranni’s quest or finding an optional boss like Malenia but idk how people are getting low diff’d by just figuring out where to go.

1) clear the yellow area as much as you can -> go to the big castle in the yellow area

2) clear the blue area as much as you can -> go to the big castle in the blue area

Repeat and you’ll do 90% of the content in the game
 
@MonochromeYoru aight, listen to this:
Being a souls noob such as I am I downloaded the wrong Elden Ring - instead of the vanilla game I downloaded Nightreign first... Suffice it to say I was pretty lost once I ran it for the first and last time.

I quickly realised "hey, idiot, why not start with Dark Souls 1? Doing these games chronologically is surely the way to go if you want to relax and enjoy yourself!" 😃

Wrong!

I absolutely SUCKED and through my sucking I STRESSED OUT constantly! Nothing more needs to be said than I didn't make it past the Taurus demon - General Zodd lite. I did not git gud...

Then I thought "alright, this is the first game in the series. The game mechanics surely weren't polished enough and the proceeding games only get easier for new players!😃"

Wrong. Again.

DS2 bored me honestly. I liked the ambience of DS1 ironically enough, but DS2 never even managed to grab me. Maybe because I just SUCKED at the combat. How the hell am I supposed to time my parry?!

Then I browsed the net a bit and saw Elden Ring tauted as THE souls game for beginners in the franchise. I swallowed my broken pride and downloaded the correct one this time.

Created my character. Went through the tutorial. Entered Limgrave. And I gotta tell you, this game rocks. I still mostly suck at combat but man there's so much to see and do that it's not much of an issue this time. The world is mindnumbingly huge. The bosses ARE tough (dungeon bosses, to be fair, I don't think I've faced any major bosses yet).

I've yet to face soldier of God, Rick but I'm sure I'll neg diff one shot him once I get there.

Did you kill the Black Knight? If you killed that guy then the Taurus Demon shouldn’t trouble you much further. Lol

The true huge Elden Ring skill check begins once you reach Stormveil Castle. There you will find your “welcome to Elden Ring” boss lol.

Brother if you could have seen my mAd sKiLlZ you'd have known the Black Knight was too big of a bite for my mouth lol

I never played games with similar combat to this. It was really frustrating ngl, but I'm enjoying Elden Ring so far. Maybe playing through this one will make me want to replay Dark Souls and go through the game start to finish.

These games are deceptively simple, it’s all about positioning and dodge timing.

Keep us posted, I think Elden Ring is actually the hardest game to pick up personally. I had over a thousand hours in these games the first time I played ER, and Margit still ripped my ass wide open on my first go around lol. Let me know if you struggle with him lol.

I'll keep you guys posted from time to time after I really get time to grind a bit.

Dont look up anything btw

Cause your first souls is a special experience. Playing blind and discovering the fight mechanics, the good bosses, the bad bosses and mechanics, and all the secrets etc by yourself is an amazing feeling
