- This is my tribute to Elden Ring, the game that helped me through some tough times. We're all on a journey, and the only way to fail is to give up. Thank you Elden Ring.
Inspired by @silentwarrior_0221 's Dark Souls 3 "it's just a video game" video. Thank you :)

To anyone passing by here, I love reading your comments so much. I wish I could write music for a game like this. If you want to hear some storytelling music, last year I wrote an album titled 'The Untold Story of The Rainmaker', inspired by Dark Souls & Elden Ring. It's been hard to share it with the world due to its narrative nature, that's why I am writing this - but if you have some free time, I'd be so happy to hear your opinions on it. Thank you so much 🤍
(Jester if you are reading this, may you pin my comment please?)
I just listen to it and wow that's amazing, u did an amazing job be proud of yourself, those songs are amazing !!!
@@stebann5350 Thank you so much! That was so kind of you 🥲
That jellyfish moment hits hard
after playing through Elden ring so much the jellyfish make me happy cus there is a calm to their ending but with everyone who fought for you or with you all fall on your way to the throne it's truly sad especially with how many of them are killed by each other or by you for one reason or another
Could you remind me the quest lore? Were they 2 sisters one of which got killed?
@@rikitonyx both sisters were dead and became spirit jellyfish once they died. The spirit jellyfish you have and summon is one of the sisters.
the best part is you can find the graves of both sisters next to each other
Hewg’s “who are you?” too 💔
Elden ring was the first and only game that I've bought at pre-sales AND at full price. Games are very expensive in Brazil and I'm poor. But I was so confident that ER would be the FromSoftware's masterpiece, that I didn't think twice. No regrets at all
You, pal, befit a crown indeed.

"Every man dies, not every man really lives." is what he basically said, and I absolutely adore it. ER makes us feel feelings that are not that common nowadays. Nobility, courage, tragedy, hope, responsibility... Next level art imo.

Elden rings doesnt tell you its story with 100 hours cinematics and texts, it makes you feel it. You have to fight for it in that brutal world, but every little shard of story is unforgetable.
Hot take I know, but I disagree. The only way to even have the slightest clue of what is going on is if you dive deep into item descriptions and stuff like that.
There's a difference between lore and story. Elden Ring has lore, not a story. Not traditionally anyway. I prefer a coherent story where I know exactly what's going on.
I understand that Elden Ring and other Souls games are not like that by design and I recognize how much people love it, but for me, I just don't care about the story in these games at all because I don't feel like going the extra mile to learn it.
Don't get me wrong I love this game. Over 150 hours played and I got all the achievements. It's literally my only perfect game on Steam and I finished it 3 times. Beautiful world, boss design, music and atmosphere with a lot of mystery. It's great. I just don't like the way they tell their story.
It's the one complaint I have about the game but I know it will never change and I don't expect it to just because I and maybe a small minority of people don't like the way they do it so I've accepted it
@@theunderdog9353I will also never get a full picture of the lore without sone TH-cam videos because I'm also not willing to read item descriptions over item descriptions and combine all these information on a whiteboard. 😃
But I disagree with you that it would be better if Elden Ring or the Souls Games would tell there story/lore in a more direct way. Because the whole mood of the game and the atmospheric experience and the mystery are achieved by this way of telling their lore and holding back information and so on. This makes me as a player the explorer of things I do not understand. And I would not want them to change that. 🙂
@@theunderdog9353 Then you are playing it without truly opening up your heart to the concepts and the stories that play out along the way. Yes the deepest parts of the lore (like in the lore videos ect) could be read like a textbook, but the real story is the things you experience along the way that only you can personally experience in your own unique way that make you think. "Wow what an interesting character with personal struggle and development, that makes me see the world in a different way." All the while being torn assunder little by little from their own journey in the world. Its not neccesarily getting the entire picture its taking it in as you see it. Its about taking things with a pinch of salt and wondering what the battle your fighting is all really for. Maybe im just a different kind of person but i quite enjoy taking things in as i see them and thinking for myself. I say this meaning no offence to you just my perspective.
@@Amatiel I just prefer a coherent story. Elden Ring's story is just different from conventional stories, but be honest with me, when you compare Elden Ring's story to say, Red Dead Redemption 2, which do you prefer? I'm strictly talking story, not gameplay. I would easily pick RDR2 because it truly makes me care about the characters because of the excellent writing, dialogue and voice acting combined with a powerful plot that's easy to follow. I love games like that. God of War is another one. I'm just a fan of narrative-driven games like that and Elden Ring is the polar opposite. As I said, I understand why people enjoy it. Elden Ring is basically "no handholding the game". This extends to everything, including the story. I recognize it's all by design. It's just not something I enjoy for everything. I like exploring the world etc but I would have prefered a more streamlined story that isn't obscured behind item descriptions etc
@@Amatiel Yeah but story's are told. It's an experience, not a story. There's a difference. The actual story is super barebones in all souls games, something something hollow, light a fire, fight four dudes, final boss. The lore however is vast and really beautifully detailed as are the world's themselves. What you're saying is essentially "make your own story as you go." That only reaffirms that the game itself has very little real story. It's more about the player's experience and sense of wonder or amazement or fear that they feel playing the games. The sadness, frustration, achievement. There's some character stories that do play out a little more directly but overall, there isn't actually much of an actual plot. I never finished any Souls game because I'd always get like 3/4's in and just get tired of it. I'd lose motivation to keep going or struggling to beat bosses because I feel no incentive. I don't care about the world or the characters or my own character or lighting the fire or whatever because the game gives you barely any reason to care most of the time. Sometimes with characters it does in fairness but even then, fairly lightly at times.

Then you walk a little further and find that they’ve been buried next to each other.
Such beautiful story telling in a small overlooked detail.
My heart just melted
Oh no...
Guess I gotta play the game again and sink another 200 hours into it
"Grave of the Fireflies" moment of sadness.
The only bad thing about elden ring is that I’ll never play it for the first time again. This adventure pulled me through some of the hardest times of my life. I remember working 12 hour nights just waiting to come home and play and looking forward to off days so I could play even longer. Only the truly fortunate will feel the same exhilaration from beating the boss you’ve been working hard to get past and feeling progress. I may not have made any money or gotten any real life skills from it but I got a happiness that I hope more things in the future can give me.

You persevered through incredibly difficult odds, you become stronger mentally than you ever were before...you got good👑
You can carry that fortitude into all the other aspects of your life, my G.
If there's any game that could teach us valuable lessons for the real world, it's this game.
I no-lifed the game for the first 3 weeks after its release. Now after 2 years i came back, and it does feel like a new adventure.

May chaos... take... the world...
MAY CHAOS
TAKE
THE WORLD!
Probably my favorite ending, and surprisingly poignant given the state of the world these days.
@@novanleon to me as well it is eldenrings true ending.
Honor to the tarnished. Champions of no cause but their own. May their deeds never be forgotten.
Elden Ring story will still have its special place in my heart. The whole story about this world is a story of gods, greater beings so above the little mortals they pretend to protect, but the end if the game is precisely about the opposite, those small beings each having their own wishes and desires, and deciding what the world should be instead of those eldritch entities. You can rule by yourself an imperfect world, after the greater will is forced to renounce his control over life or death to keep itself here. A scorned woman can choose her own god of undeath, to change the place of the tarnished as oppressed to rulers. The mad prisoner can take his revenge upon the world, by cursing all things so the greater being lose all control over the souls of this land. A silent prophet, with no name for himself, can repare the golden order by himself at the cost of his life, when a goddess like Marika was never capable of it. You and Ranni, the demigoddess spurning the control of the greater will, can together take the gods out of this land to travel far away, and let the Lands Between decide its own fate. Or you can make true the wish of the burning eyed believers, and scorch the whole world to return to the origin of life itself, the ultimate price to shatter the greater will invasion.
The game make you think it's a story about gods, Marika's bloodline, heroes of forgotten time, but it's in fact a story of how those small nobodies spurned by grace that are the Tarnished will have the last words, at the end of a long journey.
What story? There are loosely connected cutscenes and inconsistent lore. There's a bridge cutscene that's longer than the elden lord ending 😂
@@CJWII Go watch Vaatividya and actually understand the lore before making a claim like that.
@@hamza-qm7xt Don't worry about that guy, you would give him the Silmarillon and he would complain about the fact it's just a dumb book with no main character like Aragorn.
@@crash-testproductions9341 Don't know what those are... but agreed
well said
Master Hewg's story is so tragic... just let me save the senile grandpa and his adopted daughter Miyazaki, what the hell is wrong with you??
Even tho millicent wasnt here it still genuinely made me tear up which doesnt normally happen without millicents Story being involved.
For poop
Hewg hit the hardest, in the beginning he always thought you were dead and had somehow come back. But after a while he realized that you will come back every time. Then he losses his memories and forgets about you and the “poor girl”. It’s just the way of the roundtable
Great video and good luck on the youtube journey! But most importantly, don't you dare go hollow, friend!

this game will have a special place in my heart till the day i die, ive never been a huge gamer 34 years old , work took over my life, and this was the only game in my life i have put in more than 100 hours,(over 300 now) it made me feel like a kid again, quickly logging out at work so i can go home as quick as possible and turn the game on, ive never been like that, it brought out a side of me that i didnt know even existed, it made me happy again, i found joy in video games again. this game teaches u so much about just life, if you dont get it the first time, keep trying keep trying keep trying, i spent over 10 hours on melania, and that feeling i got when i finally defeated her, was better than any drug ive ever taken, i was a opiate addict for ten years, 7 years clean now, and no drug ever gave me that high i got when i finally beat the boss that i couldnt beat so many times before, i love this game with all my heart, and i am forever grateful for the awesome intelligent humans who spent thousands of hour to deliver us this amazing, eye opening, soul crushing experience, if i could describe this game in one word, BEAUTIFUL.
Proud of you my man, it took me 15 hours to beat Malenia though lol
If anyone was still wondering why Elden Ring is the game of the year 2022, here it is...
The reason why I love the souls games so much is if you want to you can just kill god like beings and dragons and have a blast or you can read notes listen to all the dialogue, find meaning in the scenery. This game does exactly what I dislike about say Ubisoft games, the characters talk forever you just want them to shut up. In these games I'm sad when I run out of dialogue to listen to. Crazy how well written a lot of the characters are too
@@clawez1420yes!!! My favorite parts about Elden Ring are the characters
@@clawez1420Elden ring is what a “real” open world game is. I hate when games advertise themselves as “open world” when the path is very linear and you’re told exactly what to do, when, and where everything is. That’s not exploration, that’s just a walking simulator.
In Elden Ring, there’s so many different paths to take, decisions to make, and you can do it all whenever you want. You have almost unlimited options, even to kill some of the NPCs and forfeit their dialogue. You even have the chance to deny the power offered to you at the beginning, and play the game without many of the mechanics it offers.
There’s nothing you’re REQUIRED to do to play the game. You can do explore everything and fight anyone whenever you decide to, not when the game deems you powerful enough.
The reason is that there were only two games that were really contending for the goty and that gowr is more of a cinematic-story based game just for the fans of the saga.
While elden ring got the first look from streamers and got advertised over and over again.
And obviously the good old mindless hollow fromsoftware fans blabbering about it everywhere saying it's the absolute best ever created
@@vhals2052
I don't feel like responding in the same condescending tone as you.
It's clear that God of War Ragnarok offers very little compared to its predecessor, and I can't count the number of opinions from fans of the first game (the one from 2018) who seemed disappointed by the lack of novelty, even though they enjoyed the game overall.
Personally, I haven't played any God of War games, they simply don't interest me, so I'll refrain from commenting.
Elden Ring's tour de force is to have succeeded in attracting players who are totally alienated from From Software games, which are essentially niche games that are totally at odds with mainstream games.
Once in a while a game comes out that redefines certain video game standards: in 2022 it was Elden Ring, in 2023 it's Baldur's Gate 3.
Elden Ring is the goty of 2022, not because I want it to be, but because the vast majority of people who have played it have decided that it should be, whether they're professionals in the videogame press or just gamers.
I can't be the only one smiling wide when Alexander ended up giving his speech and coming in with that flaming upper cut. I felt like a proud tarnish, seeing him rise up from the first fight
The Boc line at the end broke me, i do hos quest Everytime and I like to imagine my Tarnished keeps him as the royal seamster. God tier edit
This game truly is a journey. The last cutscene is short but when you sit on that throne you truly feel like you deserve it, especially if you manage to defeat Malenia before becoming Elden Lord.
"The fallen leaves tell a story. Of how a Tarnished became Elden Lord."
to be honest, tears have fallen from my eyes.
The only disappointment for me with this game was that you dont get any reaction from the game for droping latennas ashes next to lobo.
I tried that too! I had some extra sets of her Ashes in NG+ and I dropped them there, nothing happened, reloaded the area, nothing, tried discarding a set of her Ashes and then also reloading, nothing at all. I do wish her questline had gone further, She’s the one character who you truly can have fight beside you for everything that comes your way. Would’ve been nice…😪💕
The fight isnt over yet, we still have a little more for the tarnished to witness in the DLC.
She well rest soon, but for now, she must wait.
It's just a game ...pfft. That'd only be come from a maidenless specimen. It's much more than that.
It's joy. It's pain. It's fear. It's anger.
It's a journey. It's an experience. And most of all: it's a precious, unique and unforgettable memory.
At least for me.
Beautiful video, friend. Appreciate the effort. 🤝🏻🍀
Damn the Diallos moment didn't hit me that hard in-game but this did for sure, brought a tear to my eye
I am so happy I stumbled across this gem. I got platinum on the game and have since stopped playing. I never realized how many side quests and stories I missed.
Easily the greatest game ever made. The storytelling, the worldbuilding, the gameplay. Perfection at its core.
You're circle jerking.
There are animations reused from 2011's Dark Souls, characters mouths don't sync up, the acting is bad, and there's a cutscene of a bridge rising out of lava that's longer than the ending. Where are the villages and settlements typical in a game with world building? Where are the world events and changing events?
I like the game but it could be so much better.
@@CJWIIIts better than you think it is.
@@CJWII mate witcher sucks ass
@@CJWII And with these minor issues it's still better than most game
@@CJWIIvillages ? We have frienzied flame village, ailling village, village of albinaurics, dominula willmill village, living jar village, hermit village, summonwater Village
This song makes it more emotional then it needs to be
Thank You, my fellow tarnished, you deserve the world.
Elden ring is the expectation of a masterpeice
Master Hewg's request to call us Lord as he knows he will forget us and actually forgetting everything later, really got me.
The Tragedy of the world of Elden Ring its just sad. But the fact that... there is still a semblance of hope within it.
Only once the screen turned black did i realise i was crying
i started tearing up when Master Hewg forgot us and his value of help to defeat the elden beast
Ye bastard made me tear up. It’s an experience. I waited everyday for Elden ring once it was In development.
Jellyfish and sister moment
"Here lie Aurelia and Aureliette, who never saw the stars."
Cant wait to continue this journey once the dlc hits. My daughter cheering me on while i kept trying to defeat Malenia was one of the best moments in my life
That was Beautifully edited. This deserves so many more views and likes. Prob just me being high but I teared up a little. Well done bringing the feelings from the game back :)
Same bro 😂shit brought me to tears especially alexander
@@F4NWRLD I'm stone sober and I teared up, It is just beautifully put together. Scenes of passion, hope, and grief that strike the chords within our souls. They speak to the highs and lows of human existence.
Because, in the end... what is life but one long struggle? The only victory is to continue to fight, the only true defeat, to give up.
"none of us want to see you go hollow"
Thanks man, this video made my eyes drip tears for the first time in years... This video just showed how deep the story is
Diallos is a perfect example: he has been a coward for his entire life, he even sided with the ones who killed his friend because he was afraid of fighting. In the end, he understood his true nature, and died, defending his new friends in a pacific village
“My faithful wolf. My better half.” ☹️
It’s crazy how much more whole it feels than Dark Souls/Bloodborne, not just fights it’s an entire experience that soaks into you. I say this as someone who played Demon Souls back when it came out and have played all the soulsbourne games and nothing has touched me like Elden Ring. Thank you George RR Martin, Thank you Miyazaki
"Just once, allow me to call you my Lord, for that is what you are."
I picked up elden ring recently due to recommendations..and this is one of the truly greatest games to ever exist.
Long May the Sun Shine
"Ah haha ha".
Why does this not have MILLIONS OF VIEWS its so Perfect, i was about to shed a tear...
This made me teary eyed, I hope I can play a masterpiece like this in the future again
In these weird times we live in, Elden Ring is there. One of the few things that still make me happy.
this video deserves more than 1 Oscar - perfect work, mate!
This was just a game when I started playing it. 100 Hours in, you realize it's a little slice of heaven in the form of an artistic masterpiece.
"We've got a real thing here, eh? And it's only getting better." should have been the tag line.
this legit made me cry not only because it shows a game that shows true story but loyalty to the decisions you make along the way!
Meeting Latenna hits me every time. She's so broken after Lobo was killed,she just resigns herself to you, and her one end beyond her mission in the Snowfields is to join him again.
I'm just saying now, this is the best game I've ever seen I actually beat the game it was so good man. When he said "I am the great jar warrior, lend me strength, O warriors within! Let us become one CHAMPION TOGETHER!" That was sad. I watched my brother beat him and personally liked everyone that fought with me against Rahdan, so when I saw him die, I was really sad.😢
Holy hell. Seeing all those moments back to back is phenomenal. Thank you.
excellent job, this truly shows the depth of the story of the lands between
200 hours in my first playtrough, and I savoured each minute. Elden Ring is fromsoft most hopefull and dark game at the same time .
Never thought it'd make me cry but damn.. Good bye Iron Fist Alexander...
No scene of Boc the Seamster, but his voice at the ending 😣😢😭
Without Boc the Seamster I couldn’t lighten my armor weight 😭
You have a heart of gold, don’t let them take it from you
What a brilliant video. You've inspired me to get back into it again in time for the DLC!
May Chaos take the world!
Well done! Some of these moments in game I didn't bat an eye at but the same ones brought tears to my eyes, awesome work.
I’d never summoned old knight for that fight. Didn’t even know you could, damn. Hunted down another comrade.
Masterpiece. Only word to describe this journey.
its one thing for one to build a legacy of themselves.
it's another to an outcast, one that is tossed aside, one that is doubted, one that is not believed in, to construct the foundation of a newborn era.
"I knew you were the stuff of champions." -Iron Fist Alexander
"Please, become Elden Lord. Hewg was always saying that you were a Lord, to him. So slay her, with the weapons he smithed. Slay the god, Marika, who cursed us all." -Roderika
"Your strength, extraordinary. The mark of a true lord." -Malenia, Blade of Miquella, Goddess of Rot
"Brave Tarnished, thy strength befits a crown." - Hoarah Loux, First Elden Lord, Warrior
I get chills all the video, what a compelling work
the only game that kept me exploring its lore for hundreds of hours after finished the game.
this is beautiful. I'm so glad you found something wonderful in this work of art, just remember, don't you dare go hollow.
"indeed fortune is on our side , we managed to see its end after all."
Great tribute, I've been through a lot these past few years but all of the highs and lows in this game have really helped me through it all. Appreciate the reminder, now lets make it to see the DLC!
The lore of Earth-Middle and Dark Souls trilogy feel so.... indescriptible, but at same feel so comforting.
Saved in my cinema list, tysm for this incredible movie man.
Tears filled my eyes when I saw Boggart here. Ive spent days on different characters making sure Doodoo Devourer is made a puppet so crab bro stays safe 100%.

thanks for making this video, it brings me so many feelings...
As a Souls player, this all checks out. In any of the games, the characters you meet either go crazy, die some how, you have to kill them for some other person or them get swept up in whatever ending you choose. No one except you really gets a "happy" ending.
this was by far the most beautiful video I've seen, bravo
I'm waiting to come back to this video after 5 or 10 years and fell a huge hit of nostalgia watching with my kids❤
Blaidd makes me wanna cry, the way Iji begs his forgiveness is brutally sad.
"Did i defend them?" MAHHHH HEARTTTTTT😭
Sad and yet beautiful like a poem - love it

Thanks you for putting gameplays on a edit about how videogames are art
I actually got my mom to play the game with me, she played through basically all bethesda games and a few others here and there, but the hype for Elden ring was at such a fever pitch that she gave it a try. When she beat Margit for the first time (i helped but let her do most of it to figure out how to...well play the game) it was amazing. played through the whole thing and explored every corner of the game together.
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD! ♾
Those first 2 weeks of playing this game with all my friends all playing at the same time....magical. Haven't felt anything like it since halo 2 and halo 3
Incredible work you’ve done 👍
Rejoice tarnished, for thy journey is finally at an end. Through all the tough journeys and hardships you may now rest, for you have earned it, I'm proud of you.
I am the great jar warrior Iron Fist Alexander! Lend me strength, O warriors within! Let us become one champion, together!
All vessels are destined to one day break. But the great Alexander lived as a warrior to his last!

This video was absolutely heart wrenching and stunningly beautiful
I wish I could’ve showed them I became Elden Lord and made a better world for them… Before they all died
Beatiful moments, thanks for making this❤
That feeling That every npc you meet either go missing, succumb to dispear, or end up dead. Giving me a feeling of "I had nothing to lost" Hit me. I beat every boss in a heartbeat without feeling of losing.
Broh this made me tear up, amazing edit fr!!
This is really well made, I’m glad it showed up on my fyp. Keep going with TH-cam, you’re really good at it so far
Elden Ring is a fantastic journey, trully one of the best games I had the chance to play, thanks for sharing!
This is the greatest game ever made. I don't care what someone else says, this is a masterpiece. I've been gaming since the 2600, and no game has made me step back and just be in awe of the creative achievement. It's spectacular.
On a separate note, there is no feeling like being 200+ hours into the game, and so powerful that you can ride from pole to pole and wreck absolutely everything in your path, when only a month earlier you were tiptoeing around the earliest parts of the game hoping nothing killed you.
This is truly beautiful. thank you
this game truly has a place in my heart, although i havent played through the whole thing yet i just love the storys that it has and its lore. i have never seen a game quite like it
Amazing tribute to Elden Ring!! I felt sadness and joy at the same time.
