What should i do after finishing the Elden Ring main story?

I just finished the main story of Elden Ring and I'm honestly not sure what to do next. The world is still full of stuff I haven't seen, but I'm worried that just wandering around without a clear goal will feel pointless.

I beat the last boss in Elden Ring, then spent days just wandering, chasing little stories I missed and poking at side dungeons. It felt oddly rewarding to see how the world reacts to the ending choices I made.

If wandering feels aimless, pick a loose goal for the next session: finish one meaningful side quest or clear a dungeon with a good loot reward, and see if that scratches the itch without turning into a grind.

Are you aiming for a specific ending or just curious about what else the world hides?

I tried a new tanky melee run and got wiped by a dragon, so I switched to a lighter build and kept exploring the map between respawns.
