Tactician and being very thorough. I was also careful not to leave it running while I wasn't playing. I'm also currently 150+ hrs into elden ring and haven't beaten it yet.
Suppose that makes sense. My "do everything there is to do" run was on the standard difficulty and it took like 150 hours. The two tactician ones I did were about 75 each, but I skipped a lot I had already done the first time around.
