#it does both physical and magic damage so it scales off all your points you've put into INT

People talk about an easier difficulty setting for Elden Ring, and like, they're not wrong, choices in game settings so you can play the way you want to are always good.

However, an easy mode does already exist, and it is called playing as a mage, with the Moonveil Katana.

#elden ring is also in general feeling like the most accessible from software game - by FAR #if you're put off by the difficulty of the others - try this one #it's way more generous #'bonfires' are plentiful #and there are so many ways to make it more of a chill experience #make an Astrologer with an INT build - go around doing every misc thing and progressing npc quests in the zone before doing major bosses #if anything's feeling too tough just go and do something else then come back #by doing all the shit available out there in the zone you'll end up very leveled - grab the meteorite staff as early as you can - #it's easy to get and has S INT scaling (the best) #then grab moonveil after destroying stormveil castle and your domination will be in business #summon your spirit wolves - summon the npcs - and just demolish with your damage #most things become a fucking joke #I've barely been using my spells today because moonveil's special attacks are better #it does both physical and magic damage so it scales off all your points you've put into INT #it's disgusting and I love it #then you're free to enjoy the gorgeous world and follow npc questlines and enjoy the experience rather than it all feeling like a ballache #the dark souls games I finished - I struggled and served my sentence - and they're cool and all! #but the vast majority I look back and think 'oh that pos boss' 'oh that area I'd rather fuck a cactus than replay through - no thanks' #I see myself gladly replaying the shit out of elden ring
