It has been the talk of the weekend: the Elden Ring DLC, more than a challenge (which it is), is a real torture. And that’s why they’re there, on the other hand, not to make an easy and problem-free path. However, even the most skilled players have ended up tired of not being able to progress, and right now the rating on Steam is neither positive nor negative. And there are very advanced people who have defeated the bosses without taking a single hit.
The one in the ring!
Comments on Steam range from those who have already completed it in NG+7 adding “it’s not for the faint of heart, be prepared to die countless times” to those who believe that “A very cool final boss, part of the moves is to lower your frames per second below 30 in the middle of the fight and also cast performance drops as an attack,” highlighting that the game is not completely polished.
The Souls community (and Elden Ring in particular) stands out for its constant support. Yes, we know the game is difficult. Yes, we will help each other. And there is no better proof than in the preparation for this DLC, with the mandatory confrontation against Mohg that not all players were able to overcome. Luckily, the most prominent members of the community have distributed items and even stayed up all night before the DLC release to help them.
Even the most advanced players of Elden Ring have been surprised by how complex this DLC is. Luckily, the most active and powerful community has already announced that they will be there for those who need it. For now, they are already recommending ways to face the game without it being a path of torture: for example, it is mandatory to have a vigor of 50-60 if you want to move forward, and it is always better to focus on getting the fragments instead of killing the bosses right away.
It is expected that those who are more advanced in the game will soon start to be like Let Me Solo Her, the legendary player who offered himself as a summon to defeat the most complicated monsters in exchange only for the player’s gratitude. Because in Souls, in the end, you need to have… a little bit of soul.
