    Your video style with narration is a breath of fresh air, there's so many Elden Ring playthroughs out there, more than any Souls game before, and they get harder to watch as the downtime really piles up in an already huge, lenghty game. So watching it in a different tempo is very welcome! Not to mention you can actually enjoy the game at your own pace without everyone getting anxious for progression and judging each and every step you take.

    Baldechin's Blessing is an item in your inventory, when you use it it will boost your poise for a bit, HOWEVER as long as you carry the item in your inventory you take a 5% reduction on your max health.

  • @TheMightyNovac
    @TheMightyNovac หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Hey, I'm happy to see another episode of this series, and to celebrate this big Godrick-shaped milestone, I thought I'd give some non-spoiler advice based on this latest episode, which you can choose to read if you feel it's helpful or warranted:
    Item #1, Affinities and Weaknesses:
    Different enemies have weaknesses to different damage types (bleed, poison, fire, ect), and you'll do more damage, and activate status effects on them more often with the right damage type. Some of these are harder to figure out, but they all make some kind of sense.
    Example: The tree spirit you killed at the bottom of Stormveil Castle is weak to, of course, fire--like most trees would be! Godrick the Grafted, meanwhile, is strong to Holy--like most Demigods, as they are children of Marika the Eternal! By that same logic; the enemies of Marika and her holy order are weak to Holy!
    And all of these weaknesses can be triggered or made more effective by different items, weapons, talismans, and especially Weapon Arts (which can be swapped for most weapons, and when used with the proper wetstone, can change your weapon's damage type.)
    Item #2, Damage Types, and Weapon Category Advantages and Disadvantages:
    If you ever find yourself struggling to deal damage to a boss or enemy, try thinking creatively; experiment with not just different damage types and status effects, but also weapon types. There are four main types of weapon damage (Standard, Striking, Slashing, and Piercing--you can check which type by reading the weapon's stats), and different enemies can be weak or strong to each of these too. It's not necessary to learn, but it can be more than helpful.
    Example: Skeletons shatter when introduced to Striking damage, enemies with their skin exposed get cut apart by Slashing damage, and armored enemies are weak to Piercing damage.
    Also! Different weapons also have different functional uses, beyond just their weapon arts:
    Spears have a naturally longer range, and can be used whilst holding your shield up (although doing so can consume a dangerous amount of stamina.)
    Daggers are fast and don't consume a lot of stamina, but are close-range (this makes them very good at delivering status ailment damage, like bleed or poison, as you do more hits faster.)
    Hammers and Maces may not appear to do a lot of damage to many enemy types, and they tend to be slow, but they do a significant amount of posture/stance damage, thus making it easier to score critical hits during a fight.
    Whips (one of my favorites) deals low damage per-hit, and can't deal critical strikes, but stuns enemies with each swing, and has a huge attack range, and a wide swing radius.
    Small shields are worse at blocking, but are very good at parrying attacks.
    There's a lot more examples, so I suggest experimenting with any new weapon-type you find to see what they can do.
    Item #3, Uhh... A--all the other stuff I wanted to mention:
    You can always just brute-force your way through a problem with enough tries, but it's important to remember that it's not your only option. Smart play is rewarded, and a lot of fights can be won before you've even stepped foot through the door, just by picking the right equipment and items to use before-hand.
    As for general combat, that method of understanding your enemy goes for action as well; it can help to try fighting a tough enemy or boss first without striking any huge hits or chains of attacks, and focussing purely on maintaining a good defense. once you've gotten used to an enemies attacks and behaviour, you can follow it up with more well-timed attacks!
    Importantly though, an enemy waiting is an enemy that could be ready to attack--the safest time to strike can often be when the enemy is recovering from their previous attack, or charging a heavy attack, rather than when they're not attacking at all.
    And as far as exploration goes, congratulations on reaching Liurnia of the Lakes! It's a big reveal, but don't forget; Elden Ring is a big world, and you've got so much more to see than just the most obvious paths. There's tons of huge, helpful discoveries to make still, even in Limgrave, and I encourage you to go back and seek them for yourself! Even Stormveil has so many hidden paths you haven't crossed, and locations you haven't discovered--including the entrance to the Divine Tower overlooking Limgrave, if you seek activating Godrick's Great Rune.
    Closing Remarks:
    That's all my advice to give for the time being.
    Rather than just telling you what to do, I felt that giving proper explanations to strategies you've already discovered (experimenting with different strategies like Fire Grease and the like) would be a good way to encourage thinking rather than doing.
    I saw a lot of people say "Bloodhound Fang is a really good weapon", and whilst that isn't *bad advice* at all, it's also not the most informative advice, as there's not only weapons flat-out better than it in some ways (even this early on) but also, it completely depends on the player who's using the weapon! Maybe your fighting mentality better suits a spear, or a rapier, or a pizza cutter. Are you having trouble learning to dodge enemy attacks? Try using a shield. Is the shield too hard to use? Try a different shield, or a two-handed weapon. Getting hit a lot doing Bloodhound Slash? Try a different Weapon Art.
    What you do seem to appreciate, and should keep paramount is this: Knowledge is your greatest tool. Be creative, read item descriptions for information, story, and directions, speak with NPCs for advice and even follow different questlines with them, and apply your knowledge as you journey.

    Visit all churches visible on map.
    Talk to all NPCs until they repeat themselves.
    Since the Bloodhounds Fang is a curved sword, the talisman coupled with faster stamina regen (turtle) would suffise now.
    You will get runes by just playing, you should try to get your endurance up to 18 or 20 & vigor to 30 before adding dex or str for your weapon scaling, since running out of stamina = death mostly, and having enough to do an open blow or dodge once more will also increase your survivability vastly.

    Margitt is a fantastic introductory boss for what to expect going forward. He is a skill wall that blocks you until you've taken the time to explore and get used to how the game works. He's about controlling the pace of the fight, super delayed attacks, fast punishes, a variety of mixed close and ranged attacks and a few staggering combos. He's large and deceptively fast and seemingly random in his patterns. Bosses going forward will utilize all of these things and more, so he's your training wheels for what's up ahead. If you beat him, you're ready to keep going.
    I think the only boss I like more for this sort of lesson was in Bloodborne, an early game boss that really teaches you the importance of setting the pace of the fight, especially for that game. However, I won't spoil anything here.
    Also your immersive HUD is hiding something from you, look for a Red Box icon with a down arrow, that's a bad thing.
    The reason why Goddrick seems so soon is because Castle Stormveil has a lot of optional paths hidden everywhere. I've been playing this game since release and I'm still finding new things in there. Make sure to keep coming back and explore around.
    I would resist the temptation to use Remembrances just for Runes. Those things are valuable elsewhere.

    tips if you want, i'll try not to spoil anything
    baldachins' blessing lowers your max hp if it's in your inv, use it then rest at a site of grace to remove it.
    when you see a bowl-like pedestal that looks like the one you got the yellow bottle from at the church, it contains buffs which are very useful.
    upgrades on weapons have way more effect on your dmg than lvling up so try to always have an upgraded weapon when fighting bosses.
    poise dmg(an invisible type of dmg that dictates when you stagger an enemy) resets after 6 seconds (I think)
    weapons, armor, and enemies mostly follow common sense, bigger the weapon the bigger the bigger the damage, slower recovery times and more poise dmg, plate armor is better than cloth, and bigger the enemy the bigger the health bar and slower attacks, the tougher the skin looks, the less effective pierce damage types are.
    elevators have multiple uses, careful not to fall down one tho.
    Elden Ring will always provide you equipment to beat a boss before the next area so be sure to search everywhere. High and low.
    there are many damage types with every enemy having different resistances (you can use common sense to work them out) and the damage type is under the name of the weapon.

    I’ve been really enjoying these videos and wanted to offer my knowledge of the lore in case you were interested. I know it can be confusing to learn since the way to learn it mimics how we learn our real life history through theories and biased retellings. I also recommend Vaati’s channel as he has several videos on it!
    To start with, the Lands Between is ruled over by Queen Marika the Eternal (‘Mar’ pronounced like ‘fair’), she is a Goddess. The Elden Lord (what you are trying to become) is the King Consort of Queen Marika. There have been two Elden Lords, Godfrey the Golden and Radagon of the Golden Order.
    The Golden Order is basically the government or law of the Lands Between. It was established by Marika thousands of years ago, but she wasn’t always a Goddess, she was chosen as a candidate for Godhood by the Greater Will, an outer God who had interest in the Lands Between. A candidate of Godhood is chosen by the Two Fingers, envoys of the Greater Will that directly communicate with the Outer God. The candidates the Two Fingers choose are called Empyreans (em-peer-ee-an-s). The Two Fingers, however, need to be interpreted by the Finger Crones, a bunch of old women.
    When the Golden Order was established the people were blessed with Grace, which was shown in the golden hue in their eyes. Grace was how you knew you were accepted by the Golden Order. If you weren’t accepted, you were enemies of the Golden Order and despised. If you lost your Grace, you became Tarnished.
    We know for sure that Marika has 10 Demigod children and step-children, but we don’t know if they are her only children. Godrick the Grafted is not her child, but instead a distant descendant of hers from the Golden Lineage.
    The Golden Lineage is the union between Marika and her first husband, Godfrey the Golden. They had 3 children together. Godwyn the Golden, and the twin Omens Morgott (more-got) and Mohg (mo-g). While it is unconfirmed, Godrick is most definitely descended from Godwyn the Golden.
    With her 2nd husband, Radagon, we know Marika had 2 children. The twin prodigies, Miquella the Unalloyed (mick-ella) and Malenia, Blade of Miquella (ma-ley-nee-a).
    Radagon had also been married before Marika to another Queen, Queen Rennala of the Full Moon (ren-all-a). Rennala had established herself as the Headmistress of the Raya Lucaria Academy (ray-a loo-car-ee-a) and declared herself Queen of Caria (care-ee-a). The academy practices Glintstone Sorcery (the blue magic) which has links to the stars, fitting as Rennala’s family was descended from astrologers.
    Raya Lucaria and the Golden Order went to war at some point, and Radagon and Rennala met on the battlefield, falling in love and marrying which ended the war and joined the them together. They had 3 children; Lunar Princess Ranni (ron-ee), General Radahn (ruh-dawn), and Praetor Rykard (rye-card). Ranni was chosen as an Empyrean by the Two Fingers.
    Another war fought by the Golden Order was against the Fire Giants, the war was led by Godfrey. When the war was finally won, Godfrey and his soldiers were stripped of their Grace, loosing the golden hue in their eyes and becoming Tarnished. Marika sent them away from the Lands Between to wage war for her. Your character is likely a descendant of Godfrey and his soldiers. When Radagon heard of this, he left Rennala and married Marika.
    Marika had at least 2 more children, but their father is never stated. The most popular theory for at least one of them is Radagon due to them both having red hair. I won’t say who they are since one isn’t in the base game and the other isn’t directly stated in the game, and I don’t want to spoil it.

    Some small helps for you: The bloodhound's fang has bleed buildup, you can see if a weapon has special effects in the equipment screen. Pressing square/X in the select screen gives you the full description, and this is the main way you learn about the lore of the game.

    As a heads up, since I dunno if anybody else has mentioned it- you need a Seal equipped to cast incantations, which is the heal spell you got. You can buy a Finger Seal from the Roundtable hold at the Twin Maiden Husks! Secondarily, you need to equip the spell while resting at a Site of Grass, and click the memorize spell option to equip a spell to a spell slot. You can equip incantations AND sorceries this way, which Rancorcall is, but sorceries need a Staff to cast their magics, not Seals. Each spell has it's own stat requirements, between Faith, Intelligence, and Arcane (sometimes), which will allow you to cast the spell in the first place. Each Seal (and Staff) you find will also have Stat requirements or the spells you cast from them will be less effective (smaller heals, lower damage - but not smaller times on buff spells). With your Elden Ring Warrior goal, it might behoove you to put a couple levels into Faith to get some good Incantation Buffs!
    On another note, if you want to use both big swords, I'll recommend levelling up your Endurance Stat. That not only increases your equip load, letting you carry more gear at the same time, but also increases your stamina bar, meaning that you can do more dodge rolls, attacks, etc before it needs to refill. I'd recommend getting to about 15-20 Endurance. That being said, I'd be remiss if I told you to focus this ahead of your other stats. As I'm sure you've figured out, Vigor is important, as having more HP could mean the difference between surviving many hits. In my opinion, that's the greatest stat to level up for everyone.

    When the black robed woman held you, she gave you an item called the "Baldachins Blessing", this item increases your poise but decreses your maximum health by 5% until you've used the Baldachins blessing in your inventory. Make sure to use it immediately after she gives you one. To use the spells you have accumulated you need either a seal or a staff, a finger seal can be purchased from the twin maiden husks in the roundtable hold

    This was great to watch, and i enjoy your enthusiasm. I do want to mention some stuff that rubbed me the wrong way tho... in the beginning you stated that you were using your side step wrong (ash of war). Im not sure if folks specifically said that but that's not right. You weren't using it wrong, you just weren't using it completely. And that's not a bad thing! It is true that you miss out on the other half of the attack, but the upside to not using it whole is that you evade as you attack. If you're against a nimble foe that attacks fast, it may be a good idea to not use the enitre attack.
    Keep it up!

  • @Angi_Mathochist
    @Angi_Mathochist หลายเดือนก่อน

    There are definitely whole parts of Stormveil that you didn't get to. Unless you just didn't show them. You didn't get onto the rooftops at all, there's a bunch of stuff up there. There's at least one NPC, probably more, that you didn't talk to. The guy who sells sorceries -- did you meet him? And a painting -- did you find that? Did you find the Grafted Scion in there? There are multiple elevators, and a spot where the ground drops out from beneath you, taking you down to an area with a crucible knight. Oh, and the area that Roderika told you about, with Chrisalids, where you can deliver her message and get something to bring back to her. (If you miss that, you can meet her again later in another place and go back to her shack to retrieve items. But you will still want to go find all the missing areas and items in Stormveil as well.)
    General advice for any area: Explore until you *think* you've found everything, and then use a walkthrough or something like one of Dom's Roundtable's "things you missed" videos to check for things you might have still missed. There are so many routes that are hard to find because they are places to drop down that you would never have thought of trying or go through hidden doors that you would never have thought were even there. (When you're ready, try searching "Dom's Roundtable things you missed stormveil castle").
