How to play Elden Ring on easy mode? (lemmygrad.ml)

Yes, I know what I'm asking is basically sacrilege in the 'Soulsborne' community but I've played quite a few Souls games and I am kind of over the whole 'challenging myself' thing. Part of the reason I was originally drawn to the Souls franchise was the difficulty but now I just want to play Fashion Souls with a cool-ass character in a cool-ass world doing cool-ass shit. The game has so much lore and such a beautiful world and just so much creativity in general that the difficulty seems like a distraction from enjoying it.

I've heard using summons is a good way to alleviate some of the difficulty. Are there any other effective ways?

Use summons for bosses. You can look up a tier list to find which ones are good. Don't forget to level them up!

Level vigor. A lot. Take it to 40 as early as feasible, and then get it to 60 by the end game. It makes the game so much easier.

Don't carry so much equipment that you slow roll

Generally, roll towards attacks, not away from them.
