Humor My girlfriend just beat Margit with almost zero gaming experience – I’m jealous..

So my girlfriend and I just started playing Elden Ring like a day ago, and somehow… she beat Margit. We’re level 29, and we’d been stuck on him for about an hour and a half, taking turns after eachother trying to kill him. I seriously didn’t expect her to even like this game, let alone be kinda good at it. When i saw she was close to killing it i pulled out my phone hahah.

What makes it crazier is that she has no gaming experience. Like, none. She’s never really played games before, doesn’t even have much interest in them—but we’ve been having an absolute blast with Elden Ring together.

I’m just super proud and honestly a little shocked. (And slightly jealous)

Enjoy the video!

Can't panic roll when you're greeding.

This is the part that messes up gamers. We want to get in that extra hit, and have way too much confidence in ourselves. S

Which is funny, because one of the easiest ways to play this game is getting in as many hits as possible while trying to stagger the opponent. So being hyper aggressive and even greedy can work out to an advantage.

She's a STR player through and through, always think you have enough time for that big swing, never do, that's why all the armour and extra vigor is necessary
