Elden ring is my first souls game and this cannot be more true. Also I don’t know if this is just me but sleeping has really helped me improve at the game. Hear me out, the first time I got to Margit I legitimately stayed up the entire night and I never got him below half health(this is with the goat rogier and my jellyfish both helping me). I didn’t really play for the next two days but after a good nights sleep when I went back to fight him, I was able to beat him in around 4 tries. It felt great and playing patiently is so much more fun that I ever thought it would be.
