Shadow of the Erdtree is somehow easier than Elden Ring for me, but I'm worried that's only because I fixed my awful build that almost made me quit this RPG 2 years ago

At least, that’s what everybody else seems to think.

When I started upElden Ringat its original launch, I set two rules for myself.

First, I would avoid any kind of online guide.

Second, I wouldn’t be afraid to make use of any kind of in-game advantage.

The cheesiest weapon strats I could come up with?

All on the table.

Nonetheless, the hype around Shadow of the Erdtree drew me back in.

Dumb luck, surely.

Thinking through all this, I’ve now been increasingly worried that my first build was just straight-up bad.

Is that why I burned out so hard on Elden Ring the first time around?

Thanks, Bloodhound’s Fang.

You might’ve just saved Elden Ring for me.
