That’s what Elden Ring really did well imo. The game sort of guides you towards Margit at the start, but he completely destroys newcomers, which causes them to explore the map more and discover more content in the intro areas. By the time they’ve done most of the interesting stuff in the first couple areas and go back to Margit, he’s far more balanced to fight. Still not a pushover but far more reasonable to fight and no longer frustrating.

Yep, and, if you're paying attention and thoroughly exploring, you can actually go around the castle and totally avoid him. You can get incredibly strong before fighting him. It makes you feel like you're actually progressing.

I’ve only skipped him once because Stormveil Castle is an excellent dungeon but it’s cool I have the option if I want to.

Yeah, it shouldn't be skipped, but it's cool that it can be. It's good for challenge runs, or bjngo.

I’d love to do ER bingo sometime. Looks like a lot of fun.
