DARK SOULS enjoyer tries ELDEN RING - DLC (Playthrough Part.1)

I'm finally diving into Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC - Follow up to the now world renowned RPG - ELDEN RING. First impressions were mostly: WOW, this is drop dead gorgeous! Where the heck is everyone and where do I go? :D I instantly felt how used to the Dark Souls more linear level approach I had gotten. And now gazing upon the vast gravestone & reed filled fields left me vertiginous. Nevertheless onwards we pressed and as sure as night follows day we found ourselves the first BOSS fight of the game - Knight of the Solitary Gaol. With slaying him came the unexpected easter egg in form of Berserk Armour and from that point on the gears of a hungry explorer started roaring ever more loudly.
