I'm approaching where I got to on my first playthrough but having seen a lot more. Tonight I did a few things I missed on my first attempt; the divine tower of Caelid, which I just could not figure out on my first playthrough and gave up on without managing to get inside, but did fully tonight, top to bottom. Also found Goldmask, and have just started the Shaded Castle.

I'm wondering if I should stop upgrading the brick hammer (currently at +17) and switch to Great Stars, which I have just found. I don't think I have all the stones I need to get it to the same level though.

@woollypump One of the most interesting things about this game is where different players hit stumbling blocks! For instance, I didn't have too much grief with Malenia (who I understand is a pretty common boss to wreck you) but I lost days of my life trying to beat the Fire Giant… which apparently most people smoke pretty easy?!

Radahn was a big problem for me also, although I played at release and understand he might now have been nerfed somewhat?

Such an awesome game though, and I have the fondest of memories playing this. My absolute GOTY 2022 without doubt.

I think that's true of all the FS games — I beat both Lady Maria and Orphan of Kos in a couple of tries, but did the zero insight cheese to beat Witches of Hemwick on my first playthrough hehe

Elden Ring has clicked for me on this playthrough. More than anything it's a constant feast for the eyes. The art style/direction is just perfection for me.

I am now further along than I made it on my first attempted playthrough — I beat Godfrey (Golden Shade) in the capital.

I'm not sure how to do the spoiler formatting so I won't go into
