Hello, I'm a new player of Souls-like games. My first game is Elden Ring, but some people say that it is difficult for new players. So, I'm looking for mods to make Elden Ring easier. Do you have any recommendations, or do I not need mods?

Better off with tips, mods if not done carefully can get you banned from online play. Online play is good.

Explore the surrounding area, generally follow the light path north until you hit the first big boss and die (entrance to a castle, cutscene) its a significant step and then explore more instead of railing on him. Try going south after that. You can go east a bit but if you get to a red area called Caelid stop and wait until knocking out a few other areas first.

Summon help if you need it. There is an item you can craft to do so, easy to find more crafting ingredients. It does open you to invasions but you can summon two helpers making that a 3 on 1 fight.

Place down your summoning sign to scout and grind for runes. You dont get as much runes but it can be a easy way to practice areas. Spend all your runes on leveling and items, when in doubt buy talismans and spells and arrows and other supplies. You can respec later to use some of that stuff. This way you have nothing to lose but time if you explore and die.

If you dont want to be invaded get the summoning bell. You can use this to summon an NPC helper for many areas. Theres a little totem thing designating where. The NPC helpers have abilities and are great for distracting enemies. Find the easier dungeons, usually cave entrances, many of them reward you with another summon for beating the boss inside.

Try out every weapon and spell and read every item description. Different weapon types have different move sets and its worth finding what works for you.

Dodge dip duck dive and dodge. Dodging has a moment of invulnerability, learn to time it right and you can roll right through attacks. Roll or circle around enemies to backstab. If there is a group of enemies try to single them out and take them one by one. Use arrows spells or other tools to lure them out. Take your time when you can. Advance in unfamiliar areas with your shield up in case of ambushes.

If an area is way too difficult mark it on your map and come back later. The game is massive and there is a ton of other things to explore and find that will help you out. It does take practice but dont be discouraged by the git gud bullshit.
