      Please don’t tell me that, I finally beat Sekiro shadows die twice after like two years of trying and now I got Elden ring lined up and I’m not sure I want to start it. Ugh.

        Imo Sekiro is harder. Eden Ring, while quite difficult at times, feels much more forgiving to me. Really I think there are only a handful of bosses in ER that really fucked me up.

        no, you can do it! if you beat sekiro you can beat elden ring. the open world, summoning options, and build variety give you all kinds of ways to win. start it!

            One bit of advice for Elden Ring is if you are having trouble with a boss go somewhere else.The first boss easily becomes the hardest boss without some upgrades.

          Oh thank god, I’m basically ancient at this point in gaming years, so I got my start with the OG on PlayStation.

          Sekiro only gave me so many issues because it felt more like DDR fighting game than a souls game, and I messed up and thought you HAD to fight that first boss lady butterfly(?) in the first memory sequence.

          Spent about one year of ADHD on and off again battling her with only the starting health and potions before beating her. FML

        I beat Elden Ring multiple times. I tried playing Sekiro, but I couldn’t get past the first boss (I think it was at a shrine in a cellar?).

        You’ll be fine :) I can very much recommend the (I think it’s called) Samurai class. They start with a Katana that’s pretty good.

          Lady Butterfly? She’s technically an optional boss and really meant to be fought a bit later. She’s an absolute pushover once you have some upgrades and actually know what you are doing, but if you are just starting the game she is way too difficult. It’s honestly kinda stupid that you are allowed to access her so early.

          The actual first boss is Gyoubu, the guy with the horse. While also difficult for first timers, he’s much more doable than Lady Butterfly.

        The thing with the Souls games is you can always bring in another player, or level a bit more. With GoW that isn’t an option.
