Elden Ring: The Best Keepsakes To Use First

screenrant.com:

Elden Ring offers players a multitude of choices regarding Keepsakes, which are special starting items that can be extremely valuable to a new character. Reminiscent of Starting Gifts from FromSoftware's previous series,Dark Souls, these items will often have the most significant impact during the earlier parts of Elden Ring. Moreover, they can be crucial for players depending on the builds they intend to focus on and their preferred playstyle. Therefore, knowing which Keepsakes stand a cut above the rest can be valuable information for new players as well as veterans planning on starting new characters.

Keepsakes in Elden Ring are meant to mainly impact the earlier parts of the game, and as such, the influence of these choices will lessen as the game progresses. Because of this, players are encouraged to experiment with the many options the game offers, as some Keepsakes that most think are bad might fit perfectly with another's favorite playstyle. Those struggling with the first few bosses, for example, will probably find that the Fanged Imp Ashes can be extremely helpful and, therefore, the best choice for them.

For players that are indecisive about their Keepsake, it may benefit them to know that every single one of them can be obtained during the game itself. All of these items are meant to provide players with an advantage during the earlier challenges or help them progress faster towards their desired build. Therefore, players looking to add an extra layer of difficulty to Elden Ring are free to start without a Keepsake but should take into account that it will likely only affect the arduousness of the first few hours of their game.
