FromSoftware games are famous for their difficulty, and Elden Ring is no exception. Elden Ring follows the familiar series formula of unrelenting enemies and bosses with health bar destroying attacks. Despite this, the game has also been called the perfect entry level FromSoftware game for new players that want to get into the games.
Unlike previous FromSoftware games, the open world of Elden Ring allows players more opportunities to explore alternate routes and level up before facing a boss that blocks the critical path through the game. Experienced players exploring all the optional areas in the open world may quickly find themselves ahead of Elden Rings's difficulty curve.
Elden Ring Mod Adds Peaceful Mode
Experienced players that feel they have mastered Elden Ring’s difficulty by the late game can once again expect to be humbled in New Game+ mode. Reddit user Yaekai has shared a clip of the difficulty players can expect when they reach New Game+7. Simply titled “NG+7 is rough....” the clip shows the player applying a series of dramatic buffs to their character before a fight that is cut very short by a parry and critical attack by the enemy.
Having a New Game+ mode is a staple of FromSoftware games. After getting one of the game's multiple endings, players are able to play through again, with increased difficulty. The difficulty caps on the 7th time around, meaning NG+7 is as difficult as Elden Ring will get. But with such a massive open world, and so many optional areas and bosses,Elden Ring also gives players the option to stay in their current playthrough after the credits. From here players are free to continue exploring anything they missed in the Lands Between with the same difficulty level as before.
