Clear any dungeons that you come across, if not, you always have a choice to come back to them.

Which Elden Ring is the Easiest?

Due to the influx of new souls players to the latest popular souls game, Elden Ring, its difficulty has been a discussion amongst the community since some players find its challenging Combat encounters and Boss fights unforgiving to those starting out. Players have also questioned the game's inability to modify any difficulty levels, forcing players adjust to the challenges of each hostile encounter and work on their Combat skills to get through the game. Elden Ring is the latest souls game but was released as a standalone title. Players can compare Elden Ring's difficulty to other souls games developed by FromSoftware from the Dark Souls series or Bloodborne. 

The Souls games are well-known to have great difficulty getting through them. Other ways to alleviate the difficulty would be to play with different Weapons and equipment that work better against different opponenents. When comparing the souls games, some players have expressed that Elden Ring was already made to accommodate new players and believe that it is the easiest amongst the Souls games. This is because of its open world flexibility and the way it allows players to return to difficult areas at a higher level to gain an advantage during these combat encounters. Elden Ring also has some aiding features that greatly help with these encounters such as Spirit Ashes leading people to believe these features make it easier. This then also forces veteran players to play with constraints to challenge themselves such as refraining from certain Builds, playstyles or using certain equipment when getting through the game.
