"Let's put it more bluntly, I feel like the Big Tree Guardian is the real tutorial for beginners."
This was the insight Lao Ju had after dying over and over again countless times.
Compared to other games that start with teaching the basics and then gradually increase the difficulty, helping you adapt to the game,
"Elden" chose a more extreme approach.
If it's all about teaching anyway, then I might as well place a very difficult BOSS right here.
And in the most prominent position.
Players who haven't watched a live stream or a tutorial and jump right in will be drawn to the mounted knight in golden armor as soon as they arrive at Nimgreifu.
Whether they treat it as an NPC or as an enemy,
The first reaction of the players is to go over and check out the situation.
Then, the suffering begins.
But,
The goal of the top player is also very clear.
I don't need you to beat him right away.
His purpose is to teach you.
The harsh teacher produces outstanding students.
