Elden Ring retains the notorious difficulty that From Software has come to be known for through its past games like Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and the Souls games. However, From Software has managed to make Elden Ring a bit more accessible thanks to the large open world and the freedom it gives players. Instead of following mostly linear paths where a boss typically blocks progress, Elden Ring gives players the ability to change course, get stronger, and return to areas that once gave them problems.
Like past Souls games, Elden Ring gives players multiple ways to improve and get stronger. In addition to spending runs to increase various stats, or finding loot in the world or by finishing quests, players will likely need to turn to Smithing Stones in order to improve their gear. While some can be purchased at various NPCs, many are found or earned for taking down bosses. There's also a variety of Smithing Stones, many of which focus on improving certain gear or have stronger upgrade abilities.
