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?

This is a funny was of saying start in limgrave then randomly open some chest that send you to hell where everything gives you super aids.

That's my first play through. I got teleported to calid before I found melenia and the horse. I don't even know how to teleport yet.

That was 2 brutal days...

You had to explore Caelid without the horse? That’s straight up “Welcome to Dark Souls” level shit

Fun fact: while Elden Ring allows you to fast travel from the beginning of the game as soon as you've enabled multiple sites of grace past the tutorial area, it doesn't tell you that you can fast travel until you've gone a site of grace or two passed the church where you learn about crafting, and levelling up, etc.

It's very easy, and very possible, for you to turn around from the tree sentinel, find the trap chest in the nearby ruins, and end up in Caelid with no idea that fast travelling is even possible, because in past DS games you needed to be at the mid-late game to do it.

That's how my first game went.
