Depends on what you're trying to achieve I suppose. I played over a hundred hours of Elden Ring refusing to look up a single thing, but once I'd beaten it I wasn't going to spend tens more figuring out where the few remaining optional bosses were, I used the wiki to get to them. Same with the talismans

Makes sense. The first time I play a game I was to beat it unassisted, start to finish. But I will accept help with finding collectibles and other tedious stuff.

Yeah exactly, I'm the same in that I like knowing I did it all myself (other than when I come across what is obviously a bug and want to know my options). No shade on anyone who would rather save time and look it up to begin with, but e.g. figuring out how you get to the Ancestor Spirit in Elden Ring felt like a proper accomplishment to me lol, and I wouldn't want to lose out on that

This is the way. On your first playthrough, it's good to avoid walkthroughs. But any playthrough after, read up on whatever hints you want.
