Elden Ring Exploration and Boss Walls
What to do when a boss feels impossible, and how the open world is the real hint system.
When stuck
Leave. Get a weapon level, a talisman, or a spirit. Come back. This is the design.
Builds
One damage stat plus enough mind/endurance to use the weapon. Respec exists after a certain boss.
Dungeons
Catacombs and caves are upgrade material. Skip them and the world feels harder than it is.
DLC
Shadow of the Erdtree expects a finished Lands Between character. Do not walk in at RL30 unless you like pain.
