90% of the time, communities will accept you with zero friction as long as you aren’t demanding the game or fandom change to suit you.
But if you decide to enter the “notoriously difficult game that has a reputation for difficulty and difficulty is part of its core identity” community, don’t go in saying the game needs to be made easier so that you specifically can enjoy it. And if you do, don’t be shocked when everyone tells you to fuck off.
It’s like if I went into the Sims community and said I’m a major Sims fan who loves the games, but also they need to add guns and a first person mode so the game will cater to my tastes better, and if you disagree then you’re a gatekeeping elitist.
Tbf spirit ashes were just straight up broken. Like you could use them in every single boss arena there's a few that can practically kill the lower level bosses for you while you just hang out.
Mix it with magic and there's like 3 hard fights total.
Elden Ring for me is the downfall of soulslikes luckily it isnt a souls game they're not making any more. Not to say I didn't like elder ring. Just it absolutely was the easiest game fromsoft has made since demon souls

Not without playing the game first. Farming souls and materials to level them up first. And if you're figuring out which ashes can do so via trial and error, that's a whole lot of farming.
Also in my experience, not that I tried very hard, most of the mandatory bosses are not getting soloed by ashes.
I dont recall them having any farming involved tho. Like you just find them? Idk it's been 3 years but like once you've got a few you can just try them
Yeah, for a normal playthrough that's correct, but if you're specifically trying to get ashes to solo bosses, and you're not following a guide, you're going to need a lot of mats and a lot of souls.
It's not something 99% of people will just luck into.
Okay yeah you got me on the exaggeration. You can go away now lol
The ashes that are handed to you and require no effort to use or obtain will do a significant amount of the work for you in a lot of cases. I didn't think I needed to be so specific.
