Recently, my girlfriend got interested in Elden Ring, and I'm trying to give her some advice. She doesn't have much experience in gaming, mostly chill games like Stardew Valley and such.
I'm afraid I'll scare her off if I monologue about i-frames, poise damage and parry windows, so: People whose first FromSoft experience was Elden Ring, what advice did you find actually usable for getting into the game?
My friend: Be ready to die a lot… Me: wut?
And here I am lol. Like many have said before. Come at with open eyes and be open to go back to the drawing board. It all comes down to determination and learning from your mistakes. Best wishes my fellow tarnished.
