5. Work with what you got
Thinking too hard about things like stats and scaling can make a game feel more like work than what it should feel like, a game. The easiest way to reawaken your Elden Ring interest is by opening up your dormant save file and barreling ahead from wherever you left off.
Destroy a boss you forgot to crush back in April, scour Elden Ring’s underground map for items you missed, or progress your file until the credits roll. Don’t think too hard about your next move, ignore everything that doesn’t interest you, and play how you want to play. You’ll feel free and entertained.
