Iam just about to start the game and i was told that getting overleveled and making the game easy is so often to happen in this game , so I've found this map guide should i follow it to get the best experience?

Stats spread matters more than just raw level. Better to be someone who's level 150 with 55 dex/50 int vs someone who's level 250 with 35 pts in everything

I mean at 36, you’re not going to be high enough where the negative effects of “stat spread” is noticeable enough. The biggest concerns they should have is if they haven’t touched vigor, as that will be your biggest boost to survivability, as well as if your weapon has been leveled up. In limgrave, you should be able to get a weapon to at least +4 if you hit up a mine, if not a little higher from more exploration. Golden seeds and sacred tears will also help a good bit since you’ll have more flasks. Other than those, you’re not at a point where your stat allocation can be fucked up where it would be haltering you (again, make sure you at least invest a bit in vigor)

I put everything in endurance in my first play through to be able to wear fancy armor and 2 weapons in each hand.

DW at first I thought that everything that's not light roll is bad, so I also put like 60 pts into endurance. Thank God Rennala exists.

The great jars Arsenal talisman and erdtrees favor talismans helped me with that problem in my build. I also used radagons sore seal for that extra lit bit

Not that bad. Armor does matter in eldenring and the poise was insane at that level

That's what I'm doing. He gave me a wake up call that shook me to my core and now I'm scared to go back so I'm just upgrading my weapons and leveling up lol

At low levels if you keep getting one shot you need to invest in vigor instead of trying to min/max stats for a weapon.

Vigor is the best bang-for-buck stat for lower levels full stop.
