haven't started this game yet, but when I was playing demons souls PS5 last year, I would "pause' the game by going into photo mode.. of course this only works if you're playing offline as ppl could still invade u otherwise

 

if there is a photo mode in elden ring, see if this works too

That was one of the dumbest articles I've read in a while.

 

Ofc you can rest mode it, I think people are more so looking for a pause when... actually playing the game/ in combat.

I went into rest mode and I started the game back up and it brought me to the main menu. So I doubt this works. If you are halfway in a boss fight and go into rest mode, I’m almost certain you’ll be back at square one.

Do. Not. Do. This.

 

There are reports of people’s save files corrupting from putting the game into rest mode while mid-game. Don’t do it.

 

Just quit the game and come back. It auto-saves your exact location and all the enemies you killed stay dead.
