Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree Is NOT Too Difficult

As a longtime Soulslike veteran with 15+ years of experience, I provide an inside perspective on why the criticism is unwarranted if you approach the DLC properly:

1️⃣ Utilize the Recent Difficulty Scaling Update

From Software listened to feedback and made it easier to level up your Scatary level early on for more damage/defense. Take advantage of this power boost!

2️⃣ Explore the Base Game First Before the DLC

Many complainers skipped optional endgame areas like Consecrated Snowfield that reward powerful gear to ease DLC difficulty. Don't move to dessert without finishing your meal!

3️⃣ Understand the Roots of Soulslike Difficulty

Veterans know the DLC is still easier than the grueling boss runbacks and lack of quality-of-life features in earlier FromSoft titles. Perspective is key!

Elden Ring opened the doors for many new players, which is incredible! But it also means some lack the context of what "Git Gud" truly means - not mockery, but encouragement to learn, iterate, and conquer challenges through resilience.

Join me, a passionate Soulslike creator, as I break down why knee-jerk difficulty complaints miss the point. The struggle is where the beauty lies!
