>>70697764She beat Friede and beat every boss in DS3 without summons, magic, items, anon she'll be fine. And she's become a lot more resillient since.
Having trouble doesn't mean she'll quiet the whole game, she clearly is motivated to play DS1. I don't think she'll quit easily now that she is making it past the initial hurdle of adjusting to the different playstyle, which she has been doing faster than I thought she would.
