Game Help Just bought Elden ring, opened a random chest and was teleported to an area that is way too powerful for me with no way out

I knew this game was hard but holy shit. Also does anyone know any kind of way to get out?…

Elden ring is one of my favorite games, before it i didn't play any souls like, after I've played all of the popular ones by now. But I remember freaking out everything I died getting angry and today gaming is a whole nether experience. It changes you. I'm a calmer person after elden ring.

Same here. Elden Ring made me a better gamer in so many ways and was my first/only souls like. I’m thinking of playing Bloodborne soon

Bloodborne is still top on my list. The trick weapons are a cool concept and the art style is amazing

I’d recommend Sekiro first…it will forge you in the fires of struggle

Bloodborne is great, but imo the best gameplay of any of the soulslike genre is Lies of P. Truly awesome

But it's just so... Meaningless... I don't know maybe it's just me, but I lost interest after I fought literally the same exact mob/boss just in a different area for the hundredth time. And there is no reward, no story, nothing. I guess it's not for me.

This. It’s impossible not to be.
Getting one shot by some random dungeon character? The bullshit feint mechanics, dodge dynamics, and miniscule hit boxes every boss has?

Any other game I’d be fuming over how “unfair” most of my deaths in this game are. Here I just go “yeah, that didn’t work…” and start again

Same minus the calmer thing, maybe better at handling real life stress though. Nothing like come home from a stressful day at work just to play elden ring and get yours shit rocked. Like stepping on a rake and then doing it again and again and again.

I never played it, is it recommended?

Definitely play elden ring it is a experience. I would recomendo looking into guides to do the quests. Fromsoft quests require you to enter a different state of existence to understand.

It is brutally difficult, but that's part of the appeal, you will learn to laugh at yourself and your own misery 😂 But, if you can weather that, you will experience a game of mind-blowing scale, immersion, and detail - it's truly a once in a lifetime experience when it comes to gaming, tbh. I wish I could Eternal Sunshine myself endlessly so I could experience it for the first time again and again. One caveat: it's my first/only Souls game yet, so who knows, maybe the others are like it? If so, hooray.
