Best Starting Path In Elden Ring To Get OP Early

Noble Ring gives you the freedom of finding your own path and unraveling the story yourself. But there are areas you are better off avoiding in the beginning especially if you are low level. For example, going East from your starting location in Limgrave is a No-No, if you don’t want to make your game difficult right from the beginning. On the opposite spectrum of things, there is a specific path you can follow to get powerful right in the beginning. So today we will look at what we believe is the best starting path in Elden Ring to get OP early.

How to Get OP Early in Elden Ring?

To get OP early in Elden Ring you need to follow a specific Game Progress Route to get +4 Weapon, tons of runes, double healing, powerful spirit companion, improved armor, and unlock all important in-game features early.
