Ahh you might correct, Charlie does think of the most ridiculous plans that work, and they require deaths. Us small-minded fuckers could never ever think of these types of plans.
Absolutely. Fromsoft games have such a classic feel. Sekiro felt like what I dreamed games would be when I was just a wee lad playing PS2 all the time. Modern and classic, timeless. These games feel a void in my soul.
@@Zero-tz7vj yeah? did you beat him immediately? or does human error, resulting in getting one tapped because you’re a level 1, make it a little harder?
@@tommytwo-times9053 I was level 15 I think. It took like two or 3 tries but once you learn the attacks you can just attack before his heavy swipes and run away
I'm actually surprised that Charlie's chat keeps underestimating him. "It took this streamer this many times to defeat this boss" or "You're under leveled"
Could be that they're just looking out for him. Telling him xqc struggled can give Charlie advance noticed to clench his cheeks to prepare for a tough one.
People just can't help themselves, irresistible urge to share their Google search results knowledge whether Charlie wants it or not. Like the friend you have who tries to tell you how to do everything in a game to impress you, but you just wanna figure it out yourself. Or maybe you're that friend, idk.
I honestly feel like Margit might be the hardest first required boss in the souls games. He has a lot of health and odd timing on hit attacks. Not to mention the variety of attacks he has.
Everyone has their own playthrough, and their own gaming experience. Just enjoy it. People like charlie relish the challenge, but there isn't a wrong way to play any game
Hint, a friend usually will help indeed, I do almost every boss ever coop, but Margit was the ONLY souls Bourne boss from the whole series that is actually harder with friends due to damage and health scaling, maybe fight him for a hour and study his moves THEN bring if your friends that's what I had to do. I even got him to one shot by myself but I was angry and called in da boiz
get the margit shackle, its in a cave near the dragon and it costs 5k but you can trap him twice in the first stage for a few seconds and do a lot of damage, esp if you have co-op
The main challenge imo is patience, if you want to solo and "git gud" all you really need to do is accept death as a common thing, focus on learning the boss and just practice over and over. You can even google tips to save some time.
I beat margit with overpowered Skelton summons that basically made the fight easy as hell, but as you play the game and fight more bosses you learn how to fight against them, and I was able to defeat godrick in like 5 try’s using a tutorial and generally better knowledge in dodging and being patient. And I struggled badly with this game at first not being able to kill a regular enemy in this game. This game is a huge learning curve you just have to fight more bosses and get more items and ustilise not spamming and dodging into enemy’s rather than from enemy’s
Besides the constant FPS drops and clear button delay. But it’s pretty good. People calling it the best game ever is a little overboard. But it’s good!
I was at school (high-school senior) and I was sitting in my 6th period/hour and got a text from my mom. It was a picture of this game and she said "I got it". I felt like a child man, the eager and excitement I had to go home and play it. Played for 9 hours straight
Holy shit bro, cherish that woman forever. You're at an age where a lot of parents would easily throw you out to live as an adult. Please be greatful you have such a close relationship with your mom.. Surprisingly not a lot of people you'll meet in your life are close to their mothers. Im 22 and my mom still takes care of me like im 12. You'll get picked on in professional environments because of it, but the only ones that will make fun of you are the ones who were never close to their parents. Just know that being a "Mommas boy" as an adult is a blessing that there should be no shame to, not many adults have such a privilege.
Margit has weird, fast timings that he can whip out of his ass. Like the yellow knife that takes about 0.01s to take out and stagger you with. Godrick is just predictable attacks and timings that are easy to counter.

Well said. I don't know if elden ring will be a franchise or if it'll be more like bloodborne, but either way it feels like the new era of fromsoft. They don't have any of the franchise limitations of dark souls and take complete advantage by showing some obvious sekiro inspiriations

The thing with Margit is that he takes pure skill to beat. His combos and moves are completely dodgable and predictable. Pretty solid fight compared to some other poorly done fights in the game
i found the strat to beat margit was to use the jellyfish summon, the sorcerer summon, and a great sword and when ever he uses his hammer slam to either roll back or jump and then roll into him to get maybe a hit or so off worked for me so
Because the characters are still ugly despite that the gameplay is great. Wish they would use more detailed sliders and variants like in the Black Desert Online instead.
I get the feeling that charlie just doesn't feel any negative emotions. Like where other people would rage he just goes "......waht" but when something nice happens he gives the most enthusiastic "OH YAHH BABYYYY!!" it's so wholesome and i love it.
this is so fun to watch!! love the streams also kinda sad i missed earlier ones i respect that you dont like to cheese bosses from what i can see but rather do the skilled plays
@@SifGreyfang he’s a really hard to read boss, I just beat him and figured out his pattern, but at times he broke the pattern which got me killed many times
Margit is an absolute beast, took me 3 hours of nearly constant fighting (did take a break to go get 2 levels in dex and vigor) before I finally managed to kill him, he's such a twat Edit: yes he is super easy if you don't melee
If your struggling, try to complete easier areas in Limgrave and level up and pick up good items to use. I recommend using spirit summons against him, and running and closing the distance as necessary. The skeleton spirit summon is super effective in boss fights, can’t remember where I found it tho.

This is James Cordons only time he's ever shined. He's going to be having fever dreams of a heroic tales until Charlie lets the character go back into the ethers
Honestly one of my favorite additions in terms of combat was adding a heavy counter attack to stagger enemies after blocking with a shield. It makes blocking a lot more engaging imo
I made him jump off the edge. The wolves kept making Margit proc his jump back move with the throwing dagger until he was stuck in a corner. He then teleported, disappearing for 5 seconds then appearing flat on his back falling off the edge. Glorious
Elden Ring takes everything they learned over the years to make a great game yet Pokemon has taken 25 years to get to "walking with Pokemon" in the map
Yup some franchises are just so f***ing slow to evolve. Actually I jumped straight from Arceus to Elden Ring because I got bored. Let's just say no time to get bored in ER, you can't even pause the game to take a breather
God I wish I was as smart as Charlie. Being able to perfectly plan your deaths in a video game to not make your audience feel bad about themselves sucking at the game. He is so intelligent and selfless.
I just spent 2 hours doing the Crucible Knight on level 11. It was a nightmare since even his fart would one shot me. But yea dude the AI is crazy, a lot of the time when i back up to heal he does his Lunge attack like 4 times in a row.
@@somezsaltz6835 hes on top of the West cliff side at stormgate. Some bosses are at These weird round spots with those stone serpents just standing around it. You have to interact with the ground and youll get Transported to him
I wasn't a fan of souls likes till i played the elden ring closed beta and DAMN it was impressive. What's more is I actually fought all the bosses that charlie fought in this video during the tech test other than the dog one
3:00 it's modeled after the torture helmet of Griffith from berserk one of the biggest inspirations for the souls series along with many bosses throughout the games
Its so cool seeing this game getting the respect it deserves. 10/10 on more reviews, and its only getting better. Who else is ready for the Elden grind!?
The game itself is increadibly good. It's just the optimization, and when i play it in fullscreen it stutters a lot and there's like a tear in the middle of my screen aswell and only appears in fullscreen mode. I am confident that these will be fixed in the coming weeks so i'm not too worried.
I picked prisoner as wanted to roll a spell sword. only issue with the starting weapon is that it sucks via horse back as it does pokes instead of sweeping attacks. It;s otherwise a solid weapon. I will likely use the spell that gives you a magic sword on horseback though, which does sweep so not an issue. I am thinking about levelling a 2nd weapon that is better for hose back though (like the twinblades) It is awesome to see DEX back at the top though. DKS1 DEX was king, but then they nerfed it quite hard in DKS 2 and 3 (mainly via there not being many weapons that were good) and STR builds became the best. I hear that DEX is now reigning champ again though. I only just started my playthrough though, so too early to tell. I'll do a second character with a great sword I think though, as it can be fun to roll a proper heavy boi.
i used prisoner class as well at level 16 with +2 estoc. 2 handed jump attacks saved my ass.this boss is a doozy. almost all of his attacks are delay attacks and it just fucks you up haha. and that massive jumping aoe attack extends past the dust cloud it creates and can take 90%-%100 of your health.
A game hasn’t felt this special to me since I first played dark souls 3. These developers are genius and always create a fun and special experience in each game.
@@externalboss9404 cod fans buy shitty cod games every year, sports fans buy shitty sports games very year. Isn’t it crazy that fanbases will buy things their fans of no matter how “same” or shit it is.

Elden ring is literally the only soul game that you could explore everything, even getting to end game boss without any proper preparation like a big boy I think it's really fun, I would rate it 90 moist meter
Hey Charlie, just wanted to let ya know that the boss at 15:11 can be cheesed by him yeeting himself off the stage. Idk how I even did it, he just went to jump back and just kinda clipped off the stage and died
Apparently magrit is programmed to use his throwing knife when you cast a spell or heal, so get 1 spell in from far away before he does that and gap closes, then do another. At best you’ll be able to fit 2 spells inb4 he wrecks your ass
I found a pretty easy way to beat the boss, with like my 4th death. Just run away, let him do his fharge and left hand swing and you can always get a few hits on him, if your the samurai you can get charged hits every time
This game is so fun man im having a blast. I started as a Wretch and it has been pretty fun being so underpowered. 6 hours in and i still dont have any chest armor
I'm only a few hours in and I'm blown away by how amazing the hitbox in this game, which I noticed a lot from the Tree Sentinel and the smaller humanoid mobs, like how some of Sentinel's thrust and vertical attacks won't hit you if you hug him and is standing in the right spot next to the horse and the spear is so close to your character's shoulder. I thought DS3 hitbox was as good as it can be, but damn.
@@ettu357 The AoE attack from what I've seen in Elden Ring are so large lol, I think the game encourage you to jump to avoid it. You can still roll through the AoE by using the short I-frame, hard to consistently pull off though
@@ettu357 Since I'm only in the first area, the AoE attack I've experienced to far was Sentinel's shield bash bs lmao. And the giant's stomps. Though, part of my fail dodges is probably my fault as well for treating the combat in this game as the exact same as DS3.
This game looks good. The only complaintsI have seem are that it does not always work well with the higher graphic levels for some people and that there is this glitch that will randomly free you for one second during bossfights. I have also heard its anti-cheat does not allow for easy modding, but that all sounds mild ad fixable.
First few hours and first few Margit attempts were an absolute pain because I was playing as a Wretched with little-to-no armour, a club and at Level 3. Somehow ended up in a well with constellations in the sky(?), and only then did I go get geared up. Once you get into the flow of the game, it becomes much simpler, although I'm still getting used to a couple of the control changes and how light the movement feels. Great first impressions so far, excited to explore the castle and finally get armour.
Loving it - my only two gripes are the stupid bird enemies - they are way too aggressive in groups. The tree lizard looking boss - wtf am I meant to do😂summoned 2 guys for help & it demolished us in less than 20 seconds😂

Character creation in Elden ring is 10x better than ds3
@@prosserino There's like a billion videos everyday. Its pretty impossible anyway
Because the characters are still ugly despite that the gameplay is great.
Wish they would use more detailed sliders and variants like in the Black Desert Online instead.
I get the feeling that charlie just doesn't feel any negative emotions. Like where other people would rage he just goes "......waht" but when something nice happens he gives the most enthusiastic "OH YAHH BABYYYY!!" it's so wholesome and i love it.
I thought so too until I saw him go up against the spider mini boss in bloodborne
this is so fun to watch!! love the streams also kinda sad i missed earlier ones i respect that you dont like to cheese bosses from what i can see but rather do the skilled plays
Can't believe he died more on the first major boss than Orphan lol
To be fair Margit is a fairly difficult first major boss.
Orphan is dlc end game for when you're already jacked up in stats
Margit fucked me up last night, took me 15 ish trys.
@@SifGreyfang orphan's the hardest boss in soulsbourne in my opinion, he clapped me so many times
@@SifGreyfang he’s a really hard to read boss, I just beat him and figured out his pattern, but at times he broke the pattern which got me killed many times
This boss is freaking hard, even after leveling up a bunch, im actually very impressed of how good Charlie did
Margit is an absolute beast, took me 3 hours of nearly constant fighting (did take a break to go get 2 levels in dex and vigor) before I finally managed to kill him, he's such a twat
Edit: yes he is super easy if you don't melee
Yeah he was the first thing I attempted lol, but I went to explore limgrave to level up before just now beating him lol
I was able to beat him second try, I had the summon and the jellyfish, my class was samurai. I was able to get 3 backstabs on him which helped alot
The bleed dagger is absolute huge for this dude. The damage is actually insane.
I beat him first try playing as a prophet. Ranged fireballs wreck him.
Had more trouble with the grave warden duelist personally.

Charlie as "James Corden" doing Elden Ring Speedrun..?
_I'm in ._
I've spent 4 hours fighting the first boss I've never struggled this much wtf
Glad to see I'm not the only one
same wtf
If your struggling, try to complete easier areas in Limgrave and level up and pick up good items to use. I recommend using spirit summons against him, and running and closing the distance as necessary. The skeleton spirit summon is super effective in boss fights, can’t remember where I found it tho.
try to go back. explore more and level gear and stuff. that helped me a ton. and try to get a good feel for the combat in the dungeon bosses
You have to really explore and upgrade everything. They made him super hard on purpose.

Bro the cat boss totally freaks me out lmao. That way it moves is so weird.
Reminds me of a boss from the original Tomb Raider games.
That cat was such a cool surprise. Really unique design
I adored the burial watchdog, its so goofy and weird lol
Burial watchdog my beloved

This is James Cordons only time he's ever shined. He's going to be having fever dreams of a heroic tales until Charlie lets the character go back into the ethers
James Corden having nightmares about fighting monsters and not looking like a marshmallow 😂
9:11 Yooo the tree doin' a little jig in the background
I love how every single person hears “no maiden” and thinks the same thing
Love that on the first major boss he just send Rodger in to get his ass kicked while cheering him on
Honestly one of my favorite additions in terms of combat was adding a heavy counter attack to stagger enemies after blocking with a shield. It makes blocking a lot more engaging imo

Your reaction at summoning the old mage…too funny!!
I made him jump off the edge. The wolves kept making Margit proc his jump back move with the throwing dagger until he was stuck in a corner.
He then teleported, disappearing for 5 seconds then appearing flat on his back falling off the edge. Glorious
Elden Ring takes everything they learned over the years to make a great game yet Pokemon has taken 25 years to get to "walking with Pokemon" in the map
Where is the correlation? Baby game is a baby game. From soft doesn’t make baby games ;)
Yup some franchises are just so f***ing slow to evolve. Actually I jumped straight from Arceus to Elden Ring because I got bored. Let's just say no time to get bored in ER, you can't even pause the game to take a breather
Pokémon treats you like your 9 years old for most of the game, then they let you fight someone like Cynthia
God I wish I was as smart as Charlie. Being able to perfectly plan your deaths in a video game to not make your audience feel bad about themselves sucking at the game. He is so intelligent and selfless.
3:35
This is my first time watching him kill a high level boss early game and it was sick
16:45 “I don’t like to bait easily punishable attacks” anyone remembers how he beat Isshin in Sekiro?

Lol
Where u find him?
@@somezsaltz6835 hes on top of the West cliff side at stormgate. Some bosses are at These weird round spots with those stone serpents just standing around it. You have to interact with the ground and youll get Transported to him
@@zi0m300 agreed. Though to be fair, if you just do him later on a higher level hes probably not that hard, but wheres the fun in that am i right lol
I wasn't a fan of souls likes till i played the elden ring closed beta and DAMN it was impressive. What's more is I actually fought all the bosses that charlie fought in this video during the tech test other than the dog one
3:00 it's modeled after the torture helmet of Griffith from berserk one of the biggest inspirations for the souls series along with many bosses throughout the games
That torch moment was pretty hilarious lol
Its so cool seeing this game getting the respect it deserves. 10/10 on more reviews, and its only getting better. Who else is ready for the Elden grind!?
th-cam.com/video/cg-6lkHgfaE/w-d-xo.html
*Do not ▪︎ Miss this* .
Grind isn’t too bad on Elden ring, progression is pretty natural
maybe when they release a properly optimized game then I'll consider it.
The game itself is increadibly good. It's just the optimization, and when i play it in fullscreen it stutters a lot and there's like a tear in the middle of my screen aswell and only appears in fullscreen mode. I am confident that these will be fixed in the coming weeks so i'm not too worried.
@@littlefinn9651 theres to many high hp enemies in the beginning area and the first boss is pretty difficult. Other than that the progression is good
Loving your "Is an easy game" series. Great episode, always gold
I picked prisoner as wanted to roll a spell sword. only issue with the starting weapon is that it sucks via horse back as it does pokes instead of sweeping attacks. It;s otherwise a solid weapon. I will likely use the spell that gives you a magic sword on horseback though, which does sweep so not an issue. I am thinking about levelling a 2nd weapon that is better for hose back though (like the twinblades)
It is awesome to see DEX back at the top though. DKS1 DEX was king, but then they nerfed it quite hard in DKS 2 and 3 (mainly via there not being many weapons that were good) and STR builds became the best. I hear that DEX is now reigning champ again though. I only just started my playthrough though, so too early to tell.
I'll do a second character with a great sword I think though, as it can be fun to roll a proper heavy boi.
It is honestly impressive to kill tree sentinel as a new character in that many tries. No kap
i used prisoner class as well at level 16 with +2 estoc. 2 handed jump attacks saved my ass.this boss is a doozy. almost all of his attacks are delay attacks and it just fucks you up haha. and that massive jumping aoe attack extends past the dust cloud it creates and can take 90%-%100 of your health.
Delayed attacks have been my number 1 enemy since Nameless King.

I think it's really fun, I would rate it 90 moist meter
Yeah and suprisingly enough it still keeps the amazing level design that souls games are known for despite being an open world game, truly amazing
Hey Charlie, just wanted to let ya know that the boss at 15:11 can be cheesed by him yeeting himself off the stage. Idk how I even did it, he just went to jump back and just kinda clipped off the stage and died
Apparently magrit is programmed to use his throwing knife when you cast a spell or heal, so get 1 spell in from far away before he does that and gap closes, then do another. At best you’ll be able to fit 2 spells inb4 he wrecks your ass
The clutter of swords can take the damage so if they're still intact by chance you can hide behind and use a spell with no punishment
almost every souls boss does that
they perform a gap closer or a ranged (i.e. gundyr from ds3 closes distance)
Well of course it’s easy for Charlie, he’s the best gamer in the world.
yeah only Charlie can play the hardest game and win
@Çhrîstófêr Pèzêt they don't even show dislikes anymore on videos
“Krampus’s little helpers” is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while
I found a pretty easy way to beat the boss, with like my 4th death. Just run away, let him do his fharge and left hand swing and you can always get a few hits on him, if your the samurai you can get charged hits every time
If you're vagabond you can get a heavy square off attack as well
This game is so fun man im having a blast. I started as a Wretch and it has been pretty fun being so underpowered. 6 hours in and i still dont have any chest armor
Plan to start as wretch too. U playing on pc btw?
It's about being lucky really... 3 hours in and i got 3 armor drops from various soldiers.
It's amazing how he did this looking at the screen through a mirror and his controller wasn't even plugged in
A tip with Glintblade: enemies can run into it and be damaged while it's forming, so you can back up while spamming it.
the headgear hooks like the berserk thing
I'm only a few hours in and I'm blown away by how amazing the hitbox in this game, which I noticed a lot from the Tree Sentinel and the smaller humanoid mobs, like how some of Sentinel's thrust and vertical attacks won't hit you if you hug him and is standing in the right spot next to the horse and the spear is so close to your character's shoulder. I thought DS3 hitbox was as good as it can be, but damn.
Dark souls 3 had "shitboxes" elden ring has hitboxes
On the other hand the AOE attacks...
Have you come across the little stone imps yet? They duck almost all of my swing attacks. That was my first realisation of how good the hitboxes are.
@@ettu357 The AoE attack from what I've seen in Elden Ring are so large lol, I think the game encourage you to jump to avoid it. You can still roll through the AoE by using the short I-frame, hard to consistently pull off though
@@ettu357 Since I'm only in the first area, the AoE attack I've experienced to far was Sentinel's shield bash bs lmao. And the giant's stomps. Though, part of my fail dodges is probably my fault as well for treating the combat in this game as the exact same as DS3.
This game looks good. The only complaintsI have seem are that it does not always work well with the higher graphic levels for some people and that there is this glitch that will randomly free you for one second during bossfights. I have also heard its anti-cheat does not allow for easy modding, but that all sounds mild ad fixable.
the fact a character actually calls you maidenless is amazing
I still haven’t found the first 2 bosses shown in this video, holy this game is packed with content.
First few hours and first few Margit attempts were an absolute pain because I was playing as a Wretched with little-to-no armour, a club and at Level 3. Somehow ended up in a well with constellations in the sky(?), and only then did I go get geared up. Once you get into the flow of the game, it becomes much simpler, although I'm still getting used to a couple of the control changes and how light the movement feels.
Great first impressions so far, excited to explore the castle and finally get armour.
Same. But at that first ruin right before you get a horse farm those guys. They've given me the weapons and armor I used almost the whole time.
Yeah I despise the camera moving on its own when turning when using mouse.
@@trevorthieme5157 Hate when you lock on to a target and you try to orbit the camera to get a better angle and it switches it's target instead.
