Elden Ring does not give us a present, and this, on all levels. Indeed, whether it is the difficulty which is insurmountable for some, or the exploration which can make you dizzy if you are not really involved, the latest game from FromSoftware can put off a lot of players. Especially since in normal times, we can’t even pause the game to recover from our emotionsbut don’t panic, a player has found the solution…
Can we actually pause the game?
guess what, Elden Ring DOES have a pause button
just open “Explanation Menu” while on the inventory screen
this isn’t a meme, it actually works lmao pic.twitter.com/0tNLFaWwC7

As seen in the tweet above, a player has successfully paused their game by going to inventory when it’s normally not possible. In addition to going into inventory, you have to go to the “Help” menu then “Explanations” to be able to freeze the fight. A manipulation that can allow you to explore the Entre-Terre a little more serenely.
There was already a mod that allowed PC players to pause their game, but this mod was obviously not available for console players; so this is an alternative. FromSoftware did not provide for this in the rules ofElden Ringso make no mistake, this option may disappear with a future patch.
Do not hesitate to take advantage of this option if this is the first time you have traveled to Entre-Terre. You can also consult our guides on Elden Ring who can help you on your adventure.
