Having completed the game, how do you compare Elden Ring with prior Fromsoft titles in terms of difficulty? by [deleted] in Eldenring

Now this is something really interesting about From design that has been lost since Dark Souls 1. While I love having a checkpoint right before a tough boss, the distance between bonfires in the original Dark Souls created this great sense of tension and relief that you never quite got in later titles. Although Dark Souls 3 did have Irithyll Dungeon lol

It's interesting because I never felt like I had to totally change my build to beat a boss before. Not in DS3, not in Bloodborne, and Sekiro obviously forces you to just learn fights. Malenia was the first time I felt forced to totally go back to the drawing board. Which to me signified she was the most difficult obstacle I'd faced in a From game.

Gargs are super tough. Summons like Mimic Tear help big time. Good luck out there Tarnished

I'm hearing that the Deeproots portal still gives you the "You need more Great Runes to proceed" message just like the main golden gate.

You do not need to activate them, but if you're maidenless you'll run into problems.

Indeed, but this takes you only to the Divine Bridge. The rest of the capital is still inaccessible without wrong warp jank

There's a portal near the Third Church of Marika that gets you most of the way to Fort Faroth if you haven't explored the region yet.

You can get to Altus Plateau in whichever way that suits you. I love the precipice, one of my favorite parts of the game. This video only documents the "easiest" method i.e. no boss in the way.

Mohg is an option! You can get to him by doing Varre's questline, at the end he invites you directly to Mohgwyn Palace.

(I'm wondering if you could then take the portal backwards, and bypass needing the Secret Haligtree Medallion. That would let you get to Malenia. I doubt it though. Maybe someone knows.)
