First time beating Elden Ring yesterday!

So, I got the game back when it released. First real try at a Soulsborne game. I was doing a poorly speced Dex build with dual uchigatanas and got hard stopped at Goldfrey. Eventually got the death poker and sort of cheesed through him and Morgott. Hard stopped again at Fire Giant. Fast forward to this year, getting a PS5 in early March, and I tanked through the entire game from the beginning with a strength build. Stuck at a few bosses, like Godskin Duo, then Maliketh. After that it was smooth sailing to the end. Beat Maliketh yesterday, bullied Gideon, beat Godfrey/Horah Loux in under 10 tries, then beat Radagon and Elden Beast on the first try. Only boss I'm stuck on now is Malenia. 🥲

Took about 52 hours with a lot of exploring. The first half of the game was kind of trivialized by me having played it before with a really badly built character.

I feel so accomplished even though I used an easy mode build.
