Even if players try to play Elden Ring offline, they still won’t be able to pause the game in any way. Players can either hang out in the Place of Lost Grace or simply find a safe place to rest. Just make sure there are no enemies nearby. It’s best to just exit the game and save rather than forcing the character to stand in a random spot on the map.
