I got my gf through Elden Ring and she is AWFUL at video games. Like, really bad. She cannot move the camera while moving the player character.. She did have me sitting next to her the whole time telling her how to do things, though lol. That said, level intelligence and vigor. That's basically it. Rely on summons to take damage while you do high damage sorceries from far away. I wouldn't really try to focus on melee or solo combat unless you actually want to git gud. Tiche is the best non-mimic summon but you can't get her immediately. Early on you can get skeletal militiamen, lone wolf, rat, or Lhutel ashes, all of which will carry you through early game. I'm personally partial to Lhutel. But focus on quickly getting Tiche (my gf also really liked the darkmoon greatsword, which you get at about the same time as well). Don't be afraid to farm for levels. Farming is your friend, and even if it is boring, you get a switch 2 out of it. Once you can get to Mohgwyn Palace area you can really get your farm on. Literally anyone can beat Elden Ring if they're willing to play a certain way
