It’s too bad you weren’t big on SotE, I really enjoyed it. Getting all achievements in Elden Ring is really fun, I’d definitely recommend it. It’s not like trying to do it in Dark Souls III or something, it’s actually doable.
Yeah those archers are infamous for sure. It’s definitely worth it to stick it out though, the following area is awesome. Plus the end of Anor Londo has one of the best bosses in the series.
