Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has undergone some balancing to make it slightly less challenging. The game's director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, known for his preference for difficult games, admits he finds his own game tough. He mentioned he uses all available in-game assistance and his intimate knowledge as a developer to progress.

Why did Miyazaki find Elden Ring difficult despite being its creator?n

Despite creating Elden Ring, Miyazaki finds it difficult because he considers himself not very skilled at video games. He relies on the game's open-world design and in-game aids to progress, just like any regular player.

Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, is an action RPG known for its rich open-world and challenging gameplay. Set in the Lands Between, players face formidable enemies and bosses, exploring various regions while seeking to become the Elden Lord. The new Shadow of the Erdtree DLC adds more layers of depth and difficulty, pushing players to further test their skills.
