How To Make Elden Ring Easier - GameRevolution

Elden Ring is a notoriously tough game, which is part of the appeal for many. However, the game has much more to offer than just difficult gameplay, with a story and presentation that even more casual gamers would no doubt like to enjoy. Sometimes difficulty can get in the way, leaving players begging for an easy mode. While Elden Ring doesn’t have an easier difficulty, it is possible to make the game less difficult. Here’s how to make Elden Ring easier on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

How can I make Elden Ring easier?

Players can make Elden Ring easier by:

• Embracing the fact that they will die.
  • Most Elden Ring players will die a lot. It’s expected. What’s more, dying doesn’t actually have that big an impact on you. Sure, Runes are lost, but they are easily picked back up again.
• Trying to lure enemies out one at a time.
  • Fighting groups of enemies is rarely a good idea. Try to aggro one enemy at a time to slowly pick apart groups.
• Using the game’s multiplayer to their advantage.
  • Bring in help to take down tougher bosses or dungeons. Don’t be afraid to give those Fingers a go!
• Making use of the open world to level up.
  • Unlike other Souls games, Elden Ring allows players to explore most of the map without progressing through the story. This gives players the opportunity to grind through the ranks in easier areas.
• Using Torrent to run away.
  • The Elden Ring horse provides a great means to escape tough fights. Use it to get away from tougher encounters.
• Bypassing enemies to get powerful items.
  • Some of the best items in the game are hidden behind tough groups of enemies. However, it’s often possible to just run past those enemies before quickly grabbing the desired item.
  • Torrent can make running past enemies even easier, especially with its double jump maneuver.
• Knowing that Magic and ranged attacks can be incredibly strong.
  • While melee builds are popular in FromSoftware titles, there’s always the option for a Mage or Archer build.
  • These classes can take down enemies at range and require less dodging/parrying skills.
• Farming Runes.
  • There are now plenty of video walkthroughs on good farming routes for Runes. Follow these to level up to a ridiculous level and the game should seem a lot easier.
  • Invest Runes in Vigor and Strength to see a big boost in the amount of damage you can resist and dish out, respectively.
