1. Get into the community

I am a huge FromSoftware nerd and I usually replay at least one of its games per year (except Dark Souls 2) (I rarely replay Dark Souls 2) (because it sucks), and nothing has made those tweenage games feel eternally “new” quite like getting involved in the FromSoftware community.

The 1.4 million-member-strong Elden Ring subredditwill refresh your interest in the game with daily posts and discussions, and it’s also a useful place for getting quick community feedback, commiserating, or marveling at memes

I’m personally obsessed with detailed Elden Ring YouTube videos—some of my favorite YouTubers who focus on FromSoftware games include VaatiVidya, who makes assiduously researched lore videos, Zullie the Witch, who shares cut and hidden content, and SquillaKilla, whose gimmick runs destroy my brain (and occasionally act as white noise for me when I can’t sleep). There are countless other fascinating Elden Ring videos, streamers, and even Etsy storefronts. Let the algorithms sweep you away in a sweet, sweet tunnel of Elden Ring love.
