Have you tried leveling up your vigor so you can die in 2 hits instead of 2 hits.
williamtowel
9 vigor and beat the game, after awhile you just get used to dying and become okay with it....I think something broke in me.
MrHailstone
Elden Ring is so good. Been awhile since i played such an amazing game, so much fun.

Carbot! Love his stuff. Got popular doing blizzard game spoofs
Whitebeardthepirate
so Elden Ring is pretty much Dark Souls Skyrim, whereas Sekiro was Dark Souls Ninja, and Bloodborne was Dark Souls Vampire
thatlamer
It can't be dark souls skyrim, because the combat is actually fun.
I dunno, sneaking into a cave, sniping a cultist initiate in the head, and then hiding, only to hear the leader go "must've been the wind"
Is meme worthy, but bad gameplay. So is waving your sword around like a pool noodle or shooting tickle beams from your hand magically.
you just described about 24 of the next comedy Japanese games
JustBoone
And that's just the first half hour in the starting area!
abyssfiend1
The game is as difficult as you want it to be. It gives you the resources to make it a cakewalk.
"Welcome to the tutorial."
quitepossiblygettingold
SpiffingBrit found the no damage but early in the game
Demons Souls had it best, a short easy stroll through a foggy castle area with some weak enemies to slaughter, then BAM the Grey Demon boss-
Who proceeds to flatten your ass cause you assumed the pillars in the room would protect you from his attacks. Wrong!
MaverickTama
Grey demon was the easiest out of all the tutorial bosses. You can stay on his back the whole time. Grafted scion is imo the hardest.
StarmineRendezvous
Ye, pretty much no matter how late in the game you are, if a Grafted Scion gets the full flailing combo run on you, you cannot survive.
Grafted scion can suck it, stupid porcupine ass....
eraevous
Why... is that fun?
foreverinchains
Try it. Try them all.
The fun is getting good and coming back when your leveled and upgraded and just getting sweet comforting vengeance.
I gave it a shot, and it's a ton of fun. It helps that my default is wandering and fucking around. I haven't died as much as I assumed, tbh
Yup, level up, get better gear, and then make one mistake and get your ass handed to you by a low-level grunt.
Alright. If I can make up for my piss-poor memorization skills with grinding, I might give it a shot
Max level is 712, at that point blinking kills enemies lol.
Tsunako
To a degree but stats have diminishing returns and you will still rely on luck that bosses don't spam their worst abilities on loop
shimerald
If you can not get too frustrated "getting good," it's the HUGE rush of satisfaction when you figure an enemy and your weapon out and win
I figured out that the big stick can pancake most small and medium enemies with 1 hit, and big ones fall down after 2 or 3 hits. Big stick!
Big weapons are great for that! A bit slow and you have to time it right, but big payoff when it works.
YesmynameisGreg
Ok, but, people say it's fun. For those of us who play video games for escapism, is there any value to this game at all? Should I even try?
Bullheadbelly
No, play Valheim instead
lulwtf
valheim is pretty brutal as well honestly. especially since it sounds like he games alone. and the building is annoying
It can be but doesn’t have to be
EatsBees
bestie doesn't like souls games, but he has been having a BLAST with elden ring, even created a new character for a different playstyle
ShiftingPattern
1) You can outlevel an area to make things easier. 2) You can get help from players on just about every single boss if you want it.
manamongstyou
If you enjoy a challenge, yes. Also, it's beautiful, loads of side gaming, and the level cap is 713(99 in all stats) so ng+ is engaging.
Canadoug
It's extremely difficult, but oh so satisfying when you beat that boss that's been destroying you all day.
If you're the type of person that can say "he got me, gg" or "I deserved that death" ,even if it was at 1hp left, then you'll be fine.
These games are challenging at times, but something unique to Elden ring, when you get stuck, there's a ton elsewhere to handle /1
Go do some other small dungeons, get some rare items equipment, level up, come back and suddenly, where you were stuck is alot easier. /End
UsersubPoetLaureate
Completing the challenge while looking at all the cool shit is escapism
If you go into it expecting yo die a bunch but want a challenge, go for it.
FlissFloss86Gaming
There's plenty of challenge, but also plenty of power fantasy to be had. The insane things you discover in the game are legit awe inspiring
Yes, I think you should try it. It is a phenomenal game
Dimensionsatire
I never liked Dark Souls. Don't like beating my head against a wall. This? Challenging, but much more forgiving due to open world nature
giddyupmusic
Absolutely. I’m an older player who plays for escapism and have found it challenging and very enjoyable.
not if you cant handle losing boss fights a lot. its great to explore and has amazing scenery and cinematic moments though
DuelingBrothers
Do you enjoy overcoming a challenge? Spitting on the corpses of your enemies after they've kicked your ass 100 times?
HeadJamistan
It's fun because it's challenging. There are too many games these days that hold your hand and they're impossible to die in.
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
It’s a really fun game. Definitely worth buying IMO. Although there is obvious frustrating moments followed by relief moments a plenty
Lichelf
Souls games are some of the better "escapism" games as they don't contain task lists & let you fully immerse. Elden Ring mixes it with BOTW.
It's also easier (at least early on) and more new player friendly than the other Fromsoft games.
superbest
Did you like dark souls?
I didn't beat the first boss in #1, and in #2 I made it to some like aqueduct bridge with a castle on the other side and then gave up.
DKB13
*sigh* GIT GUD
Ehilgy
The difference here is you don’t need to beat the bosses in any order. If you are having trouble just fuck around, lvl up, try later.
notailnogoodnick
so would you say your advice here is to fuck around and find out?
It always is! xP
It's a Souls game, you'll do that anyway, even if you didn't mean to.
iputthefiresout
There is a great deal of catharsis when you overcome a boss. If you're having trouble, you can summon NPC help for many of them, otherwise 1
AndroidSoul
Mostly this. Get flattened, get good, overcome the odds and enjoy the dopamine hit. It's not for everyone, but it does tilt the high end of
Feeling like you legitimately accomplished something difficult
you get summons of your own, or you can ask for help from other players. And, if nothing else, you can always go off in a random direction 2
level up some, find some better equipment, then come back. You encounter the first main boss when most prior are too weak to beat him. 3
The point is to encourage you to leave, get stronger, then come back. 4/4
