Running back through the mist and into a boss's chamber without changing your stats, leveling up, or really preparing for battle at all is a very Elden Ring thing to do. Gluttons for punishment, Tarnished gamers can't resist getting absolutely whooped by nerfed bosses like Malenia and Maliketh time and time again, but to become the Elden Lord, we must! Following the fair words of our mysterious, ghostly maiden (SEE!? WE'RE NOT MAIDENLESS), Melina, brought us into the Lands Between to save all of Limgrave.

All we have to do, is fell great omens, demigods, and rot-queen sword masters. Unable to resist the challenge, we accept, charging through Raya Lucaria Academy, through Liurnia of the Lakes, the rotted myres of Caelid, and finally into the Capital to claim our title! So while you're racking up the hours on this From Software game, you can remind yourself that if you stick with it, eventually you can become the Elden Lord, shining in the light of the holy Erdtree.

Until then, praise the message.
