600+ hours in and bored. Relieved that The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC added quite a lot to the experience. I began close to the release. Don't feel bad about rune farming. 1/3 of my hours were spent doing this. 'Caeled' rune farming, and it is great for early on. You can stand back and collect runes while the warriors, giant dogs, and death birds battle. As you improve the rune farming locations develop from being able to farm 1000 runes in an hour to 2 million+ runes an hour. Best tip from when I was a beginner, don't hug the lady in the round table hold.

I'm 170 plus hours in and it still feels like I haven't really accomplished much (I have) but this is one of the best games ever created

Awesome tips, as an Elden Ring noob myself having never played a fromsoftware game in my life and decided to jump in because the shadow of the Erdtree DLC looked awesome and I thought let’s jump into this

Search for bisadon, here you can find the outfits and surprises you want, pamper my girl~

love how the intro looks like those Vogue video with celebrities hehe

I am downloading the game now and have never played any of the games by this company. I have read that if you have played their other games this is much easier to play, but I am coming in blind so this is great advice! thanks Jessie.

looking healthy Jessie.

Nice work J......really helpful......I'm a few playthroughs in now but I really could have used something like this when I started.......totally clueless.............and completely lost/overwhelmed....will watch your playthrough.....:).

Hot girls who talk about being a "nerd" wayyyyyy after it's cool are out of touch. Try something that actually gets you ridicule, not something that people who actually got shunned for their passions because they were natural outsiders, had stolen from them by those seeking profit. Playing D&D, being into games and comics and toys is so yesterday. Reading Chaucer and actually knowing math are the new black. Being a cute girl never goes out of fashion, and is never uncool.

I started on a keyboard, but the game is not set up well for a keyboard and after buying a controler I had the issue of relearning how to play and that learning curve messed me up for a bit, but coming back to the game a year later, I didn't have any issues using it and now it plays great.

Branching off of reading all of the tutorial, read everything you find in the game. It is super important if you want to follow the story and quests. Even basic functions of certain things that are overlooked by many can be found in item descriptions. I’ve watched too many people be lost in a quest or have no clue about lore, when that information is easily found in items, spells, spirit ashes, and dialogue. This goes for all Soulsborne games. Hidetaka Miyazaki was inspired by many older games when he was put in charge of directing Demon’s Souls, and that inspiration can be found in many of his games after that. Some of the titles that inspired him include games like King’s Field, Ico, and Shadow of the Colossus. Obviously the game play is way different, but he liked the idea of environmental and indirect story telling. Soulsborne stories and quests are told through item descriptions, limited dialogue, and the world design. I understand everyone has different play styles and some don’t like to read/think to read. It is truly helpful to do so in this game though, and it’s not like it’s a lot to read in these descriptions. It can change your understanding of everything going on.

This is so good. Would have probably helped me two years ago. It’s true, I can barely remember what it was like the first time I pushed open the door and saw limgrave for the first time.

Fun stream! Looking forward to more! Fun tip for using shields, you can guard counter immediately after receiving an attack. Block then RT. Does more damage than RT and also does more stance damage, can quickly stun enemies and makes shields goated

You're a little late there honey on your stream.

Some really useful tips and advice , I've just started playing Elden Ring and this video really helped , many thanks

If at first you don't succeed 😂❤

Welcome to the lands between fellow tarnished, looking forward to seeing you have a go at it :)

You're a beautiful, intelligent young woman, and it's completely natural to worry about the future, but don’t let that hold you back. Life is meant to be experienced, so go after the things that excite and inspire you! If you want to travel, explore the world. If there are places you've always wanted to see, people you want to meet, or passions you want to pursue, now is the time to dive in. The key is to stay curious, open, and adventurous. Have fun, but also seek experiences that bring you growth and fulfillment. One thing you’ll want to avoid later in life is regret-regret that you didn't take chances or try new things when you had the opportunity. So, be brave in chasing your dreams, and remember that the journey itself is where the magic happens. You have so much ahead of you-a life full of discovery, joy, and growth. Embrace it fully! :) By the way, you have excellent taste in games! :)

Subbed! :) Great advice.

she's beautiful😊

Just started today with the game now that winter is coming. Thank you for your helpful insights & gg 🫶🏼

Love the video !

Hi, I saw your recent co-op stream. I took note, that you do not use your flask of wondrous physick. I would recommend to do so. And you played with a shield but not use your guard counter attack. This is a powerful strike with good stance break potential. Have a good day.

😂funny, 5h in to the game Me 3000h and watching your Video 🥳

Lots of people adding tips, i guess i'm joining in haha 1. The locations of the new map pieces are on the browned out version of the map. They are usually next to a path/road & look like little pillars. You can way point their locations & just make a beeline to them 2. Have fun, Elden Ring was my first Dark Souls game too. Those bone daggers saved me so many times in the beginning. I did a little training montage at the beginning when i played. I got to that first solder encampment & just practiced stealth & backstabbing, parrying, rolling ...i also practiced dying, a lot. But it really did help me. You'll be Elden Lord in no time !

The game tells you all this. Elden Ring is basically a reading comprehension stress test!

Class and Runes stop meaning anything after the early game.

Best things I've learned since playing Elden Ring since launch. If you're on line and have placed messages on the ground, when someone rates the message you get healed. In the Multiplayer groups add these names: SEEKERS, Cookie and FrankerZ and when a person in that group defeats a shard bearer or becomes elden lord you will receive 5% extra runes for every enemy you defeat for around 3 minutes. Exploration is important, use the map to find anything that might be of interest, ruins, caves, mines and dungeons are hidden all over the area. If you feel like you're hitting brick wall with a boss, go elsewhere and try something else. Most of all play how you want to play with whatever weapon or build you want.

Great video. Really helps ER newbies. I have finished the game and one particular guy that really helped was FightinCowboy. Anyway, I enjoyed the vid and hope more new players see this.😊

Im not a pro at this game but I have about 700 hours into it. If you ever wanna chat strategies or lore, feel free. I won’t tell ya “git gud” 😂

I’m only 5hrs into the game too. Every Wednesday TC Motorfest puts out a new weekly challenge which encourages the player to take on. And then you get stuck into racing 🏎️ once again!! 😅 ER however is a super RPG, always go back to it. Started as Vagabond. Experienced RPG gamer of 21 years, AC & Fallout. 😊

You are trying to spoonfeed info to complete beginners, which they should figure out exactly like you did in the two weeks prior. Elden Ring is not the cheapest game out there. If someone has bought it, there must be a reason they are open to investing a lot of hours into it.

I have a whole lot of tips but to keep it simple, like you said, do the tutorial and read everything. And I suggest go back and do it again. I watched a lot of playthroughs where people never learned how to backstab or guard counter or do jump attacks or crouch. Second. This happened to me and to everyone that I've watched play. If you are holding a shield you cannot do your special weapon art unless the shield says no skill. If your Shield says Parry that will be your weapon art. Or as this game calls it the ash of War. Last but not least, get vigor to 20 before you do anything else.

Keyboard and mouse is fine if you replace all the bindings with "cntrl" or "shift" taken out, you can remap everything to a single button press which makes things a lot easier. Also invert all the settings on that first screen from on, on, off to off,off,on ( or w.e the inverse is on the enemy locking stuff)

You are late to the Elden Ring party will come anyway it better to be late than never to be good you just have to put in the work and never give up

im on the same boat as u rn

Elden Ring is such a deep game that really sneakily teaches you to get better as you go along, at the end of your first playthrough you will be impressed by how much you've improved. Hope you have a good time!

my tip as a beginner; Don’t worry about picking up runes too much, the only runes that really matter are the great ones stored in your inventory. If you can pick up the normal ones thats very good but don’t worry about rushing in and grabbing your runes cuz ur just gonna die again

1. Focus on getting your vigor to 60 2. Choose a weapon and only meet the minimum requirements for said weapon (most of the damage comes from upgrading your weapon). After that you can focus on other stats 3. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP: You’re playing a game. Play how you want and do what you want don’t let others determine your play style.

A little late to the party . Wave is gone surf another current wave imo

First souls like i've played. It took me like 20 hours to get... minimally good. At least to not get killed by every enemy I found. It was very frustrating but also got to my pride, like no nerd was going to outnerd me. So I kept trying and understanding the mechanics and i think i've gotten pretty decent. The main problem for me was to get used to the speed of weapons and rolling. Once you get that down you're good to go.

ER was also my first souls-like game and I also wish I had known how important runes are. They are basically XP because 99% of them you use to level up. I would be holding off on leveling because I thought there might be some item I would want to buy from a merchant later on. I also wish I had known not to sell ANY weapons or armor because you may want them later on for a different build.

i would LOVE to watch someone whose never even touched a controller try and play this game. "ive never played video games, lets start with the hardest one" is so bold and insane i love it

Parry or dodge roll?

Just a few things to add: 1) The runes that go into your inventory are called "gold runes" - it's important to distinguish them from runes that you have on you because the ones you have on you are ready to be used as currency or to upgrade your character, but they're also the ones that will "drop" if you die, however the GOLD runes in your inventory that have not been used yet will remain there even if you die, so that's why you only want to use them if you're about to upgrade or if you're about to buy something and are short a few runes. 2) The tutorial tells you where the maps are - you simply missed it, but the map locations are very obvious, they're basically marked for you on your "incomplete" map. 3) Your character choice, while important, does not pigeonhole you into a single playstyle. Even if you choose an Astrologer (which is a magic user), if you wanted to, you could then dump all your attributes into strength and dexterity and become a sword and shield using warrior. Your class only determines your starting playstyle, but as you move through the game, you can adjust your playstyle (and class) to something new. Maybe you find a weapon that requires lots of faith, you can then start dumping all your runes into faith to be able to wield it. When the game first launched, it was even MORE vague than it is now. They've since done a lot of updates to balance the game better but also added a lot of quality of life things, like more clear tooltips on items. For example, there's a talisman that claims to make you "immune" to fall damage, so people misunderstood it, put it on, jumped off a cliff and died. But fall damage in the game is gradual - there's a threshold of height that you will take no damage, then there's a threshold past it where you will take damage as a percentage of your health but NOT die (unless your health was low to begin with), then there's a threshold past it where once you reach a certain height, no matter your level of health or talismans, you WILL die if you fall that far. The talisman in question protects you from taking damage in that 2nd threshold, but does NOT prevent death if you fall anywhere in the 3rd threshold of height. They have since updated the tooltip to say just that, that this talisman makes you immune to fall damage, but does NOT prevent death. I.e. it makes you immune to damage, not death. They also added the "recent" tab in the inventory and gave you the ability to display an exclamation point on items that are new/that you have not viewed yet, which makes it MUCH easier to examine them when you pick them up in the heat of the battle and missed what it is that you picked up, because some items in the game require you to read what it does in order to get a clue on how to progress.

1. MOST IMPORTANT NEWB SUGGESTION: At first grace is White Mask Varre. EXHAUST ALL HIS DIALOGUE. You will find him again in Lunaria & he'll give you a few tasks. DO THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. He'll give you a medallion that teleports you to a later game area: Mohgwyn Palace. Here you can just ride horse to pick up spell Swarm Of Flies (really good spell) and get to other grace that gets you BEST RUNE FARMING IN THE BASE GAME. Also, you don't have to win in Varre's quest. Even if you die it counts AND you can access DLC really early. by killing Mohg. 2. Maps are the only thing visible in brown areas. When you get to a new area, it will be brown with a small cut off finger shape that lets you know where the map fragment is.

Elden ring was my first souls game and one of my first games in a long time at all. I had a ps2 when I was a teen, then stopped gaming until getting a ps5 at age 31-32. I remember having no idea what I was doing when I first turned elden ring on, and just idiotically figuring things out. What a good feeling 😂

Some more tips for you: you can switch to different weapons by pressing left and right on the d-pad (but you need to equip them first!). To use a bow you need to first equip it (duh) then switch to two-handing it- you do it by pressing Y+L1/R1 (depending in which hand the bow is). Bows are very useful! Also something to consider in the future- stealth. You can crouch by pressing L3. There are spells, incantations, and ashes of war that increase your stealth. Very useful when you're running somewhere and don't want to fight.
