Elden Ring's developers know most players use guides, but still try to cater to those who go in blind: 'If they can't do it, then there's some room for improvement on our behalf' (www.pcgamer.com)

I try to always play games blind but some things in elden ring i hardly understood with a guide. Or you get locked out easily out of quests. I was talking to an npc for a quest and accidentally hit attack and killed him. I was walking past that talking bush like 100 times and had no idea what's even going on. I thought it's a glitch, invisible npc or something. Even after looking it up i couldn't find it. He's still there in his bush. Or not, i don't even know. I found out some hard puzzles accidentally. But at the end of the day as long as i get through the game i'm happy. I'm no completionist.

Holy shit dude. Even with a guide I also couldn't find it. Even playing multi-player with my buddy who already found him previously and knew were he was we still struggled to find him with a guide.
