I remember being so intimidated by the game before playing it for the first time and struggling a lot with the beginning sections of the game. I remember fighting the first black knight in undead burg and thinking I would never beat it. After giving up a few times, I finally managed to kill him by blocking and then circling around. I’ve grown much more as a player since then, but that was definitely the moment where I knew I could overcome the challenges thrown at me. What about you guys?
I was exposed to the game via a lets-play by MFPallytime. Figured I’d never play such hard games, so I watched a stream. They tutorialed a LOT of cheese for the game, speedrunning the whole thing in a couple hours with very noob friendly strats.
I saw it and thought I could do it too - and I’ve since gotten much better! Sure, I used an AI glitch to beat the Torus demon the first time, but now I can beat them game with the more ‘intended’ routes. Beat Elden Ring without any spoilers at all, proud of how I’ve grown.
