Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree: 15,522 Deaths Later, Player Triumphs Without Cheats
FromSoftware games are often known for their difficulty level. A gamer new to Souls-style games will soon realize they’re not as “user-friendly” as other games available. In these games, players usually explore the game world largely on their own with minimal hints or guidance. Additionally, even small mistakes can be costly—dying frequently during gameplay is quite common. Despite initial claims that Elden Ring was one of the more accessible Souls games (owing to its open-world design where players could easily avoid danger), Shadow of the Erdtree turned out to be particularly challenging. In fact, FromSoftware had to issue a post-launch update to adjust the game’s difficulty level.
