FromSoft newcomers: what advice did you get that was actually useful? (lemmy.world)

Recently, my girlfriend got interested in Elden Ring, and I'm trying to give her some advice. She doesn't have much experience in gaming, mostly chill games like Stardew Valley and such.

I'm afraid I'll scare her off if I monologue about i-frames, poise damage and parry windows, so: People whose first FromSoft experience was Elden Ring, what advice did you find actually usable for getting into the game?

let her play the game however she wants and roll into attacks

Yeah, it's really fun to watch her play because she doesn't play like I do. I mean that I naturally go for dex/quality, and she just wants heavy armour, a big shield and a bonking stick. This is why ER is so good, both ways are valid and fun.
