Elden Ring’s recommended level system provides guidance for seamless progression. It helps identify areas appropriate for your character’s strength. However, it’s important to remember that these are just suggestions, not strict rules. Adapt your approach as needed to suit your playstyle and exploration preferences.

While the recommended level system can be helpful, it can also be limiting. It may discourage exploration of areas marked as “too difficult” or lead to overleveling for certain zones. Additionally, following the recommendations strictly can deprive you of the thrill of overcoming challenges and the satisfaction of earning victory through skill rather than sheer numbers. Ultimately, the best approach is to use the recommended levels as a general guideline while allowing yourself the freedom to explore and adapt to your own unique adventure.
