FromSoft newcomers: what advice did you get that was actually useful? (lemmy.world)

Recently, my girlfriend got interested in Elden Ring, and I'm trying to give her some advice. She doesn't have much experience in gaming, mostly chill games like Stardew Valley and such.

I'm afraid I'll scare her off if I monologue about i-frames, poise damage and parry windows, so: People whose first FromSoft experience was Elden Ring, what advice did you find actually usable for getting into the game?

And as someone who has no patience: If you are frustrated, go elsewhere the world is huge. That's a big plus for me compared to Darksouls 3. Alternatively, just stop, do something else and try again later.

Also you can go very far without mastery a technique, so don't obsess about it (I can't pary at all). Some enemies can be cheesed, some you kill with dumb luck, and if all else fails just run for it 😅
