  Is there a right way to beat Elden Ring?

  Fromsoft: Explore the world, find the tools and weapons provided in the game and use them to overcome the challenges it poses.<br>Community: I&apos;m going to pretend I didn&apos;t hear that.

  Fun fact: After learning the grovel gesture from Patches, if you attack him enough to aggro him and then use the gesture, he will forgive you.

  You&apos;ve heard it here folks, FromSoft specifically expects you to use summons and level vigor, who knew

  TiL the strategy guide actually gives legitimately good strategies. This seems pretty solid.

  So, we’re allowed to use the things they put in the game? No more running with a club and no armor? I’m actually allowed to level…UP?!?!

  Fighting tree sentinels and the dragons on horseback was so obvious to me the first time I felt absolutely insane when I saw that most people didn’t seem to do that, so seeing that fromsoft had indeed planned for that made me feel good lol

  It’s a testament to the incredible world design, but I was amazed at how thoroughly I had explored the world by just checking out anything that caught my eye and not concerning myself with whether or not I was missing anything. I figured that a true adventurer works with what they find. Plus, I figured it would make later play throughs exciting when I discover new things that I missed previously. I still occasionally find new stuff, but I got about 90% of the loot by just wandering wherever I wanted. This game seems like it should NEED a guide, but the devs did such a good job guiding the player without letting the player even realize they’re being guided.

  That Elden Beast tip is actually super helpful.

  Apparently I played my first playthrough the &quot;intended&quot; way. &nbsp;Who knew?

  No joke, this was my play style. Bows for the birds, guard counters etc.
