whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether? (lemmy.one)

Turns out in Elden Ring, you’re supposed to go left when you leave the initial starting area so you can pick up the ability of teleportation to bonfires.

Well, imagine my surprise learning that from friends 10 play hours later after going right and opening up a teleporting treasure chest to some crystal cave…

that's wild that it doesn't just give you the bonfire teleportation when you reach any bonfire. didn't realize it had to be that bonfire in particular

I never got past the first boss on the horse.

Somewhat hilariously, that boss is supposed to teach you a key lesson of Elden Ring's design and gameplay philosophy:

Not everything is meant to be beaten immediately, sometimes you should skip things that are too strong and come back later.

Considering the design philosophy of Elden Ring, you were probably supposed to do that rather than going left.
