Elden Ring has this capability but none of the previous games did. Stuck on O&S? There is literally nowhere else to go except through them.

You can summon Solaire which eliminates the hardest part of that fight, which is both bosses chasing you at once. While it's true that you need to defeat them eventually you can detour through the Painted World to get some levels and items.
I summoned on most of my attempts. It still took me days and consumed most of my Humanity. Had I run out, I simply would have ended the game.
Well you didn’t. You persevered and then succeeded and no one had to make it easier for you.
If you made it through O&S and don’t like the game, then I think it’s safe to say that it’s not the game for you.
And that needs to be okay too, for people to say that. Personally I’m not good at basketball, it’s just not the game for me.
Also, few ppl understand this, but community knowledge is actually a core part of the design philosophy. That’s why there’s player messages and blood stains built into the game. It’s not a dirty thing in this game to look stuff up or ask for help. There’s a huge community and comradary aspect to the game.
