| Elden Ring Player Discovers How to Pause Game Without Mods |
Looking for an epic adventure, 2022 action role-playing game Elden Ring by developer From Software and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment sends Tarnished warriors to get through Lands Between and its many dark mysteries.
From Software's latest action RPG has been hailed by critics and fans alike at launch despite a high level of difficulty. Many would really appreciate having a pause button and one player has even found a way to pause Elden Ring game.
Twitter user IronPineapple has recently come up with a very simple way to pause Elden Ring mid-game by heading over to inventory section and pressing "Help" button before clicking on "Menu Explanation" to pause it immediately.
However, this newly discovered pause system looks like a mistake and might be patched out soon by dev team. Until or unless From Software removes it, players can freeze any ongoing action to think and strategize before fighting.
A brief video of how to pause Elden Ring has also been posted on social media by Twitter user IronPineapple.

Earlier last week, a newly released mod for PC version of Elden Ring would let people to pause their game at anytime. Since console versions cannot be modded, new method of pausing will also work on PlayStation and Xbox platforms.
Your adventure in Lands Between will continue even when you are looking at inventory or map and unless you are resting at a Sites of Grace, you are vulnerable to attack by enemies, Night's Cavalry boss or a wandering ram (no kidding).
A much-needed pause button in From Software games will surely make boss encounters a lot less stressful. Even taking down a group of enemies could become somewhat manageable in most cases by allowing you room to breathe.
Elden Ring have co-op and PvP multiplayer features that allows other players with an internet connection to invade without warning and therefore, adding a dedicated pause button would surely mess around with online functionality.
