That said, there are no difficulty settings in Elden Ring. Nor is there any special trick to make the game easier or more difficult. In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, you can use the Bell Demon via the Bell found in Senpou Temple to make the game more challenging. 

But in Elden Ring, we don’t even have that. You can make the game a little more difficult by using the Soreseal or the Scarseal Talismans. But to make it easy, just go for an Astrologer build with high Faith and Intelligence.
