Journeying into the world of video games is rather simple. However, Hidetaka Miyazaki always takes it a step further by making sure the player goes above and beyond in order to beat the game. This is something that the fans of FromSoftware’s upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign will possibly be visiting once again.
The renowned director time and time again has introduced games that have no business being so incredibly difficult, but the better part about this fact is how he has also often shared tips and tricks to beat these exact games. One of these tips, originally given for Dark Souls, is exactly what Elden Ring Nightreign players will need to understand.
Hidetaka Miyazaki and his handy wisdom for Elden Ring Nightreign
Hidetaka Miyazaki is essentially the master behind FromSoftware’s notoriously difficult Soulsborne games, and he has always believed in making the player suffer through a punishing level design, only to make them feel a great sense of achievement later.
Revealing in an interview via IGN, the director shared the following tip for going up against and beating the bosses of Dark Souls. It might sound basic at first, but it is ultimately what has helped players since forever in Souls games and will continue doing so in the upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign.
The difficulty is high, but always achievable. Everyone can achieve without all that much technique – all you need to do is learn, from your deaths, how to overcome the difficulties. Overcoming challenges by learning something in a game is a very rewarding feeling, and that’s what I wanted to prioritise in Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls.
This piece of wisdom remains just as relevant today as it was during the early days of Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls. The director has explained how the idea behind this is the concept of trial and error, which is executed with the mask of death within the games.
Elden Ring Nightreign: Why you need Miyazaki’s wisdom, skills, and a lot of luck
The upcoming game is really the first time FromSoftware is going to offer a proper co-op experience set in the Souls world. Borrowing the fundamentals of 2022’s Elden Ring, the director of Nightreign is making sure to use this opportunity to finally break the studio out of its long-stuck loop of Souls video games.
For long-time fans of the games released by FromSoftware, Miyazaki’s advice remains as valuable as ever. They know how much the trial and error method is required to study different bosses’ and their moves, which finally allows the player to eliminate them.
However, Elden Ring Nightreign would require much more than just a few tips from the director. Seeing how some of the worst bosses from the Souls history, including The Nameless King, The Centipede Demon, and Margit, are returning, you need to buckle and make sure you have an extra controller as backup in case you break your main one.
