I hope these tips help you out :D
This is great, should be required watching for new players.
Nice list, I would add that #8 isn't entirely correct. Instead of selling Golden Runes, just click "Use Selected" and you can use them all at once. Much quicker.
@@AussieBushrangers I agree with the video. Selling the runes is much faster if you have several different type of runes to sell. Don't have to reopen inventory multiple times.
@@grayaj23 the fact that that you don't even need to go to a vender at all and just "Use Selected" to gain all runes in one go seems a better option in my opinion.
@@AussieBushrangers I agree
You don’t have to sell your runes to use them all at one time, just use the use selected option and select the full amount and it will apply them all at one time
They prob new that but anything to lengthen a video
It’s still better to sell when you have several different types of runes - like say 5 rune(1), 3 rune(2), 1 rune(4) - as it is faster.
@@barry-sensei not really, if you click R3 you can keep breaking all the runes without leaving the menu or having to go somewhere to sell
The end of that option in the new patch
@@GarrettSaxon you're a life saver I was so annoyed leaving the menu
The tip on knowing when to back out of a boss fight and instead take your time to strengthen your character is spot on. It can be hard to admit defeat but sometimes backing out, leveling up and coming back to absolutely ragdoll a boss that previously was kicking your ass is extremely satisfying!
left stormveil for a little too long and came back after 30 hours with a +8 moonveil, +9 uchigatana, and the confidence of a souls veteran
I typically stick to a boss if I think I can take it... If I'm getting obliterated every time then I'll go somewhere else and come back to that boss, but if I'm getting it down to 1/3 or lower before dying I'll typically stick with it until I do manage and it's not normally that many attempts considering how many attempts certain dark souls bosses have made me attempt.
Yeah same with caelid . I went in there way to early and just was getting one shot by everything and it was a complete slog. Eventually I ran away and spent more time in limgrave and lurinia. Came back at higher level and it was a much more manageable experience
This game makes you feel like such a loser sometimes haha
nah go dark souls 1 on it and die until your good Margot was like a ten minute fight but worth it to kill him with my un upgraded weapon
I don't know if he mentioned it but while attacking from your horse it looks like a one handed attack But if you switch to 2 hands before mounting it will still give you the boosted damage despite looking like a single handed attack
I was wondering about that, such a weird exploit
:o
It gives me boosted damage anyway I think
You’re right , always two handing and then mounting
KEEP SCROLLING FROMSOFT NOTHING TO SEE HERE
One tip I have to offer is that if you visit a cave or dungeon and activate the Grace but don’t want to do it just yet, or have difficulty with the boss, you can place a circular icon marker (not the singular ray of light marker) on top of the Grace to provide a visual indicator on your map that you haven’t completed it so that you know which areas to return to later, then just remove it once you do complete it.
The reason for doing it this way rather than putting a mark for completion is because you are limited to 100 marks and you might eventually run out.
I sat at a site of grace for the beastman's cave but didn't venture further cause the wolves had me worried. Came back a week later and had a easy time with the boss. Great tip.
How do you place the markers? I’m on xbox
@@DuvalRypr There should be a marking system, I think it's the a or x button? What you need to do is look at the bottom of your screen, they should explain which features you mark your map on.
Do you know that you can actually favourite a site of grace with a star? I did it by mistake but it is useful if you need to remember which ones to go back to.
@@anoniemuss824 yall are using marks of completion?
24. wearing unnecassary weapons / off hand weapons in secondary and tertiary slots. If you don't need them, unequip them, they just increase weight/load.
Yes, this tip is really important. I never keep my bows equipped until I need to use them
noooooooooooooo!
Omg new player slow rolling due to unused weapons equipped aaaaaagh … thank you I can now equip armor
@@annaschofield what? I have a shield, bow, sword, and mace with heavy armor and I mid roll. What are you rocking? Two 60str heavy weapons? Go beat the jar invader battles and get the equip load talisman. Then you'll be fine
@@stompingpeak2043 what’s your endurance at? a lot of people are treating endurance like a dump stat in this game and only leveling up when absolutely necessary. i think it was vitality in ds3 that’s most comparable
Another very important bit of info is that EVERY SINGLE ruins area in the game has an underground portion, some have bosses down there, others just a chest, but many of the best talismans in the game can be found in these underground rooms so be sure to look for the staircase leading down in all of them!
You sure that EVERY SINGLE ONE? Because I could swear some of them don't, but if you're sure I'll check again, I could have miss them
Some of them are hidden, only able to be seen after hitting what looks like a normal wall. I'm guessing anyway. Last night I learned for the first time that they have trick walls so I'm wondering how much stuff I've missed. @@mfrebel7831
I shit you not, at LEAST 2 of the ruins have a secret illusionary floor covering the stairs that you wouldn't know was there unless you hit it or used one of the Shackles nearby to drop the illusion
@@awi11o don't do that to us man... Don't make me hit every thing
Tip 24 : If you have a large amount of runes, before you go into a Catacomb, Cave or Boss Area etc try to spend all your runes first so if you die you don't lose anything and you don't need to use one of your twigs. Great Video
Thank you :D
This is what I do. If I'm close to a level up, or need a few items I'll spend the tunes and then go to war.
Agree lol, never gunna use that twig because i always do this and dont care if i die
you can also drink a mix with twiggy cracked tear before entering the fight, youll get 3 minutes of insurance for runes
This is what i do.
As someone who is also 400 hours + into the game I highly agree with using your ash summons or friends joining you, especially if it’s your first play through, there’s nothing wrong with using what developers worked so hard to implement in, the elitist can say what they want, at the end of the day they’re subjecting themselves to hours and hours of gameplay just to beat one boss in the most masochistic way possible just to get absolutely wrecked by the “casual” who decided to play with his pro buddies
Great comment. How ever, both my brother and myself are playing this for the first time and we are constantly getting invaded and slaughter by random dickheads. I have played and beat both Bloodbourne and Sekiro but my brother is just trying to used to these games for the first time. I know there isn’t a way but I wish there was an option to stop invaders.
@@bigjoker6905 you can use the white rings that they sell at the round table to summon hunters that’ll kill invaders or you can just try summoning near bosses to avoid invaders all together, I still have the same trouble when I play with my friends who are lower leveled but luckily they scale to them lol
@@bigjoker6905 admittedly most of the people who invade spam or they just sit and hide until you get so bored you just rather let them kill you than to try to bait them out
@@bigjoker6905 Are you playing together with your brother? If so, there's a mod called Seamless Co-op that (although a bit buggy) is good for continuous co-op without invaders. Takes a bit of setup but is really good if you plan on going through a whole playthrough together.
im playing offline because im on a budget and is my first playthrough. i felt like something was missing and then i went to fight Radahn and all made sense haha
I bought the game as soon as it came out. Tried playing twice since and quit. Just gave it another try and really put in effort, changed button layout and now 30 hours in. It's a tough game but so beautiful. Taking my time.
@@MidratsSnack just started playing last week and switching the controls really changed the game for me. The default layout almost made me refund the fucking game
@@sp3k73r Wow, me too. I have had the game since it came out because it was one of those games that you want to make sure you get it in case you can't later. I'm 5 hours in game right now and level 25. Liking it so far.
Kinda late here, but as an avid PC player, I very much believe that these games are best played with a controller. Most games kbm is better, but holy shit the level of simplicity and control (no pun intended) that controllers give is unreal. Genuinely made the game so much smoother
24. Dont play drunk. It wont go well.
@@dylanmaxwell4307 Don’t play tired either. I was losing bad to the magma wyrm in volcano manor. It’s not a hard boss, but I was tired. I gave up and went to bed. I won first try the next day.
That’s the only way to play!😂
@dylanmaxwell4307 although it does help me with relaxing during boss fights and learn the patterns
Fia has a whole quest line and ending locked behind her questline, you MUST let her hug you multiple times across this questline to complete it. Just find the Baldachins blessing in the inventory right after and use it, then the health debuff will vanish in a minute.
All players make a mistake of not coming back to the church to get the bell.
The wolf really helps to make the game much easier early on for you to explore and farm.
there is no Rella spirit there
You need to do it at night. Also sometimes she doesn’t show up until you rest at a different Site and then come back another night.
I only went back to that church by an random urge to clear all of that merchants voice lines in case I missed something. Then I see a cute witch that's chilling with her spirit hanging half out her body lol. Those wolves are amazing. It's just too bad you can't summon them whenever you want. I'd love to have a little war party roaming the lands with me.
@@kiSABREWULF007 wait for night she will be there.
@@shivpawar135 I don't get it! I haven't done anything yet. I just explored the map and got 2 map fragments. Along with an invitation to the Round Table (I haven't got there at all!) or whatever it is called yet there is no spirit girl at the Church of Elleh at night!
...
As said above. Rest as some other point and get back therr and she should show unless you are too ahead (in the story / progressed to far)
The single best thing they did to Elden Ring was put a checkpoint, that’s separate from your bonfire, at the boss or difficult area. So now I can focus on boss tactics than wasting 1/3 of my flasks getting to a boss.
Even better would be if when losing a boss fight, your runes were left outside the boss room. Lies of P does this and it does not make bosses any easier! Just makes the game less frustrating.
@@OrangeNash this is a real pain! The workaround is to commence the boss fight, grab your runes and quit out. You should appear outside of the boss arena with your runes, freeing you up to come back later when you’re ready.
@@GreatJoey91you mean grab your dropped runes from the boss arena and then quit the game? Haven't thought of that. I'm gonna test it with a small amount of runes and various amounts of time in boss arenas. If this works, you'll have helped a noob big time.
@@momerathsoutgabe-mt1gcdid it work brother
Had no idea about 2-handing lowering the strength requirement! With the smithing stones, I’d really advise that everyone choose the use of their ancient dragon smithing stones wisely and use them based on what 2-3 play styles you like. Max out your favorite weapons in each build respectively because there are only a finite amount before getting to NG+ and even after that you won’t get access to more for a long long time
Better to get them to level before you use the final stone to get a feel for them
This goes back to the older games. It was the same thing.
Its literally written when you equip a weapon
I was gonna make fun of you when I saw your PUA videos on your channel but you actually give pretty good advice lol
Does anyone know what the buttons for the two handing heavier weapons for pc?
Sometimes you just have to deal with having 0 runes. During boss fights when theyve killed you at the back of the arena and kill you again before you can reach them? Just spend the runes b4 going in that hellhole
2:40 or so '...not really obvious' is an understatement. How about '...there are no clues, whatsoever, that you should do this. Nothing.' I randomly decided to go back and sell stuff to the vendor, that's the only way I discovered the Witch and got the spirit bell.
Don't know everyone says this but you do not have to go specifically to the stormveil gatefront site of grace to get Torrent. You have to unlock and sit at any 3 sites of grace on the surface world (not the underground ones), and she will appear when you unlocked the 3rd one, wherever it is. I go to the site of grace to the south (after unlocking the initial and the church of Ellah) that is just past where Yuri (Yura?) tells you about the dragon in the lake.
I got torrent and the bell both at the first church
I got torent at the one just past bridge of sacrifice
For Fia, accept the cuddle. It's a very cool questline, just make sure you don't progress it too early. I always immediately remove the blessing by using it in the inventory, it's not worth the HP loss. If you're going to do a boss, just head back and get another before, there's usually a close by site of grace.
+hug from nice lady
Another tip, dont sell your items like weapons and gear. They dont affect carry weight at all like other games do (skyrim). Think as if you are collecting them. Your weight only matters for your equipped items aka weapon and armor. Another thing, dont distribute your levels too much, choose like 4 skills to level and stick to them in early game or else you will make it harder for yourself to move forward in the game. Another thing, upgrading your weapon with smithing stones give you a way higher powerspike then leveling up your character levels so its good to find a weapon you like and try to upgrade as fast as possible to take advantage of the powerspike.
Wish I paid more attention to this. I deleted a load of starting weps not realising - feel like starting again lol but I'm like 24 hours play time
@@MrHUNTERNATOR19 lmao nah don't start again. You can always get them items again.
This one i wished i knew when i started, i kept the strongest armor i had and sold the others... but then equip load kicked in and then I was screwed for a while lol
Holding onto weapons and gear doesn't accomplish anything other than feeding a hoarding habit, unless you're thinking that way down the road you might need this or that item. It's better to just fall into love with a weapon / gear, level it up and sell the rest.
I just level up based on the requirements of the weapons I find.
Tip 1:Never call a tarnished maidenless 💀
The Fume Knight taught me the value of knowing which way to dodge an attack. When his FUGS starts glowing you HAVE to dodge into it. It has too much reach, moves too slow and in a over 180 degree arc so dodging back or away from it would always get you caught as soon as you came out of a roll.
I had to drill that into myself because its easy to start panicking and just trying to roll away but you gotta stay cool and dodge the right way. Easier said than done sometimes though.
RE: Glowing Skulls
Golden Runes can be used in any number from the inventory screen. Very useful when you're a few runs short of the next level and about to enter a dangerous area.
It’s a big mistake to rune farm in early areas while over-leveled. Farming similarly scaled enemies yields more efficient rune gain, and cut hours off a play-through.
One thing about tip #16, the starting class doesnt matter if you want to play only pve. But if you want to play pvp, you will most likely have to stop at a certain level, because you can play only against same-ish level players. This means that if you want an active pvp experience, you have to stop leveling at some point (the most active endgame levels are between 125 and 150). You can respec your stats, but you will be stuck with the ones from the starting class and can reallocate only the level points that you have manually put into stats through leveling up. That means if you start for example with high intelligence and later want to pvp with pure strengh build, you will be stuck with the starting (for your build) useless intelligence points, that could have been in your strengh, vigor, etc.
Absolutely fantastic videos. Coming from a hesitant noob to souls type games, you're videos have legit made getting into this game possible for me. I look forward to hundreds of hours of fun now thanks to your insight!
Thank you, I’m glad the videos have helped 👍
Same. I'm a long time Souls player, but it's always smart to school yourself in these kinda tips/tricks.
Locking yourself out of items is such a pain. I’ve done it with Millicent’s, Nepheli’s, Varre’s and Dung Eater’s - also Boggart’s because I went to Volcano Manor and completed Ray’s quest line before I remembered to go back to it….nightmare
That tip on dodging applies to all the Dark Souls games and Bloodborne. You always want to dodge into attacks, not away from them. Most of the enemies and bosses were designed this way to give you perfect chances critical hits by doing this or put you directly on their back.
The exception to that is if you're very low on health you want separation from the enemy so that you can heal up, and THEN roll toward attacks.
Wat about when they do a ground Stomping attackk or something similar
@@jakeg7472 you can jump in this game. This sounds like a no duh but you cannot jump in dark souls, it's crucial in this game. Even I forget to do it 80 hours in
the glowing skulls are everywhere if you look. just be weary, if their on a cliff edge you may accidentally punt them into oblivion.
I dont feel like not sprinting is a mistake. Some prefer a leisurely jog.
I think "not gathering sacred tears" isn't the mistake. Its more like "not using sacred tears." I remember I hoarded a lot of those because I never noticed the "flask" option when resting on a grace point lets you use them.
Fortunately the last upgrade has corrected that, and now the bonfire menu highlights the vial entry if you have the items to upgrade it.
@@SuscriptorJusticiero exactly! Before the patch you had to guess....I like the feature though I wish there was a journal system to track Dungeons completed etc
My biggest problem was not using great runes, I had godricks equipped, but never actually made it active, I had so many rune arcs just built up by the end of the game
Literally me until I picked the game back up this past week lol
Had no idea what great runes did until I started a new game
Pfft, you think I'm only making 23 mistakes. Those are rookie numbers.
The quest lockout pain is real - the 3 things you are locked out of are the same for me, and I haven’t even burned the tree yet, thinking that was the big lockout event. Word to the wise, don’t speed thru ranni’s quest or it will lock out dung eater summon (you need seluvius alive to unlock) also killing the big blood boss (Morg, or however you spell it) before getting the white mask, because for whatever reason u won’t be invaded if you do. I spent dozens of hours farming that damn bird, not realizing that all the while that item was waiting for me down there. Then I killed the boss, saw a video on that cool item, and learned it was lost to me. Typical From, it almost makes me love them More:)
Also not finishing the dialog for the lady that gives you the jellyfish summon, you can just never upgrade your summons, as far as I'm aware. I tried doing the thing to reset aggression, but it didn't work. Now I just feel fucked. A level one summon is not effective against fire giant
True. But once u git gud and become maidenful like me. You can beat the game in like a hour or so...
Some late game bosses might kill you a few times... but hey it's a rng game and you can't dodge every attack... Good luck and don't panic : )
Or at least try not to lulz. Some of the freaky stuff in the game freaks me out...
@@jasonshort9001where do I finish it at? I just started as well and don’t have the jellyfish summons yet.
@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 dawg shut up
New player here, the tips are certainly very useful! One question i have is that how do i ensure that with this open world game i am not locked out of any items at all, ? Any quick tips?
#16: If you plan to stop leveling at a specific level, as many people do (so they have more PvP options, for example), then your starting class is important. You can never respec the stats your class starts with, only the new ones. You should figure out which stats will be most important to your character, and pick the class with the highest sum for those stats (and if the starting level for the class is below 10, add 1 stat point for every level below 10 they start with: i.e. Astrologer starts at level 6, so figure out the sum of their stats and then add 4).
Some more tips regarding Rune Arcs: 1) You can get them from successful invasions into other players' worlds. 2) If you're more of a PvE player, get your discovery up (Arcane stat/Silver birb leg/Silver Scarab) and go farm rats - in Castle Morne or somewhere else where are lots of them and a convenient Site of Grace nearby for respawning them. 3) Don't use Rune Arc if you have a lot of acrobatics ahead of you - especially climbing them Divine Towers, fall damage is the hardest boss in this game, Malenia isn't even anywhere close.
And, for the love of Marika, don't waste your Starlight Shards! You can use them as a currency with one certain NPC in mid-late game.
There's a super useful crystal tear you can find for the flask of wondrous physick that allows you to keep your runes upon death, same as the sacrificial twig. Can't remember where I found it though, maybe check a tutorial vid for location.
I have to admit I'm guilty of panic rolling. Great video, thanks for the tips!
Thank you and you’re welcome 👍
I've finished every soulsborne game and defeated almost every boss (f**k midir and chalice dungeons), but I still panic roll like crazy.
you would think that hundreds of hours in those games would've taught me not to, but here I am, still rolling away and getting smashed regularly.
I just can't get it out of my system lol.
Including Sekiro and Bloodbornw? Damn.
#15 you can also lock yourself out of getting the Raging Wolf set, considered the best medium set of armor. I recently did that and I wish I'd known that just a little bit earlier 😢
@@KillMe.x..x. Notice I said "medium armor" my guy! Of course Banished Knight, Tree Sentinel and Bullgoat sets are gonna be better, but way heavier!
Raging Wolf is one of the best for its weight, so you can pump your damage stats instead of Endurance :)
A mistake I made with the runes was selling/using them before I needed them! The great thing about golden runes is that they stay in your inventory when you die. Basically banked, easy to grab runes. In this, early on get every resource you can bc you can sell those in merchants for runes, as well!
I call them hard runes
This is a feature in every single from game and not news.
Don’t sell regular resources to merchants for runes. It will be faster to farm them, and a lot of crafting materials can make useful items
@@odynzeyez6259 if it's someone's first souls type game then it would be news to them...
@@mimimoon9313 this is true to an extent but if you've been playing for more then a few hours then it's not news
Dont know if anyone mentioned this in the comments but, if you die and are worried about not being able to make it back to your rune drop. You can equip a sacrificial twig and if you die before you pick up your runes, they will not disappear and you can get another chance to pick them up.
have you not watched the video? lol
Oh wow, I was wondering about that the other day. Thank you!
Here in 2024. Admitting I wasnt running until you brought it up. I was like "wait stfu". I wondered why summoned players were always running ahead of me. Dumb.
The tip about running towards an enemy to dodge is very useful. Thank you
You’re welcome 👍
Can't believe I didn't even know there was a sprint option
I thought I was just heavy and coundt sprint at all
I recommend saving your golden runes. If you get up to a boss use your runes to level up. If you're short you can use those golden runes to get what you need to get to the next level. Then you go into a boss fight with almost no runes to lose.
Another fun tip while sprinting you can momentarily crouch to regenerate your stamina to keep running away if necessary
fixed now, just so future people are aware :)
@@idontwantahandlethough I am a future person. 10 days in the future according to the time stamp on your post. And now I am aware. I thank you, Tarnished.
@@Brian424 lmao
I beat Margit the fell omen at level 25, no summons, no wonderous flask (nevermind i had no idea it existed at the time) with a +4 battle ax. Its just a point of pride for me. I told him i wasnt taking the easy way out. I won. It feels good
#22 is literally unavoidable. You WILL at some point lose your runes. Even if you're a veteran player of the souls series, it is bound to happen.
Very informative. I've got over 200 hours in and I learned something today. Well done. Subscribed.
Great runes need unlocked at their divine towers before the arcs work. They need replenished with an arc if you die.
Another way to crush runes and not have the window close, is to simply press in the right stick (R3) and close the right side of the menu. This will keep you in the inventory and you can use as many as you want. Helps if you need runes but you don't want to go back to the roundtable
Someone's likely already mentioned it, but Renna only appears in the Church of Ellah at night.
I went to the church of elleh, and Ranni wasn't there. Turns out she only appears at night.
Also, starting classes really don't matter when it comes to builds. Some of the best builds are going to take you well outside your starting class.
I didn’t even know Vare was an npc I thought it was a statue
Thanks a lot for this! I had no idea about the items you can miss, plus the rolling into enemies one. Very helpful 👍
You’re welcome 👍
My two biggest mistakes are progressing too far too fast, and not checking if equipment has special properties, I had no idea my raptor feather armour boosted jump attacks
18:48 You can also get Rune Arcs from co-op. Any time you're summoned to help a friend with a boss or mini boss, you'll get a Rune Arc after accomplishing your task. I *think* you can get one if you're summoned as a Hunter & successfully take down a friend's Invader. I haven't tried Hunting, as I'm not much of a PvP person, so I'm not entirely sure on that
Great video for new players and current ones. Only thing I would potentially add is that, you don't have to sell runes strictly as the only option, you can just select them and pick Use as Selected to pop multiple instead of individually. But personal preference yea? Good job man keep it up.
Thank you and it’s faster to sell the runes as you don’t need to keep going in and out of the menu but yeah it’s personal preference 👍
@@Born2Game It's faster to go to the menu and press use selected and use them all at once. You don't have to keep going in and out of the menu.
7:43 you can USE all ten of your golden runes at the same time. Just select the “use selected number” option.
You can either sell the runes in bulk or use golden runes in bulk by selecting "use selected item" then select how many you want to use if you don't want to go to the merchant. When I'm by the site of grace, I go to "use selected item" just so I don't go to the merchant then back where I was after leveling up.
Guilty of missing Ranni for the 3 wolves and summoning bell, this would have helped alot at the start.
Also I was guilty of frantic rolling to begin with, though I did learn to stop doing this. I agree with rolling towards an enemy, learnt the hard way with rolling away or to the side. Or you can simply run round to the back of the enemy and attack, this is simple to do when locked on to an enemy. Some bosses turn slow where you can take full advantage of this. Others turn much quicker and may not be as viable, though regardless, this has helped many a fight!
Also, I'm just realising I have missed a few other things. I missed D's quests with defeating Godrick, I missed Blaidds quest with starting Ranni's quest. I missed Preceptors quest by handing the knife to Ranni. I missed the final part of the White Mask with defeating Mogh.
I nearly missed Irina's quest by not finding her father at the castle and also Yuras too by not helping him at the academy.
My problem was pushing on to quick to soon. And also skipping dialogue, instead of taking the time to listen to what the npc's say.
So please don't do what I did.
Listen and take in what everyone has to say but most importantly conquer everything in the current region before taking on the boss of that region.
When I started a second character, I couldn’t get Ranni to spawn after receiving Torrent.
I tried visiting the Church of Elleh at night. I tried resting at the church’s bonfire. I finally found out that I had to let my character die at least one time before she would appear at nighttime.
This obviously wasn’t an issue on my first character as I died all the time, lol. But, my second character was a safer ranged class. Just wanted to post this in case someone had a similar issue.
Lmao just started the game and found her completely by accident
You guys are obviously lacking the souls instinct to check literally everything
I heeded the advice to avoid night time as a beginner so never saw Renna (that is her name). I played many hours but never left the beginning area. After seeing the tip here - at Level 21 - I went back to the Church of Ella and rested there passing time until Night and then went back and forth and round and round, rested there again but no Renna. So I gave up and went on my way. Messed up and got killed. Respawned at the Church. It was still night, AND THERE WAS RENNA! As an Astrologer I am deliriously happy to be able to summon now.
You can just buy the bell and wolves from twin maidens at roundtable if you miss ranni. Not a big deal
for rune protection there is also a crystal tear for the sacrificial twig. mix it in with your flask that way your safe for 3 min and you dont have to waste a talisman spot or purchase anything
Unless you keep that in your physick at all times, you would need to go back to a grace to equip that anyways. Doesn’t seem particularly useful to me.
@@johnwrath3612 when you die your at a grace. Switch the potion, then you have 3 min from when you take it to get back to your runes. If you die you keep whatevee runes you have and the ones you didnt make it too are still there to get
I'm the panic roller! I can't tell u how many times I've rolled my ass right into a kill shot😂😂😂
Going back into the game after being away for more than a year and forgot everything I was working on. This was a good refresher on the simple things that might not be readily apparent. Thanks
Nice video didn’t know a few tricks so must watch for newbies playing for almost 200 hours but still learned something new 🙌
Thank you 👍
Panic rolling.
@@thomask1424 my first souls like game. Think I'm struggling with that now
Yeah, I've done a few of these. You'd think a guy who panic rolls so much in boss fights would have figured out the trick over rolling over skulls, but nah, I am now expert in where that sword is gonna land, and that was because it took me forever to figure out where to get Torrent.
One thing not mentioned about the golden runes is not only can you cash them in at the merchant, they are kept when you die, so keeping them in base form until you spend them effectively makes them immune to loss.
number 10. you can fast travel between sights of grace. so even if you forget to rest at one, you can simply fast travel to it and save yourself some time
I went to stormveil early and margit destroyed me. Definitely go around explore, find weapons, level up and go back
excellent video, content, and commentary!! I really wish I'd of seen this video sooner. thank you for the time and effort you put into this, much appreciated!!
I just started playing yesterday and I'm quickly learning you sometimes avoid fights and can't go gungho.
Excellent video
Very helpful
I knew all this things from my own and now that i hear it from you make me feel proud of myself.
The tips is, don't rush the game,take your time,explore and find things,try to level up before lose your "souls"because Elden ring is very unpredictable.Also read everything you collect you will learn about the lore or the actual use of them
Thank you 👍
The Baldachin's blessing thing i definitely didnt know about the drain on HP thanks man! ive got like 20hrs in and finally beat Margit lol probably gonna take me forever to beat Godrick. definitely a plus being open world compared to the dark souls games which were much harder than this game and didnt really give you much of an alternative if you couldn't beat a main boss.
You’re welcome mate 👍
FightinCowboy got me past most of these problems. Never used Baldachin’s blessing in combat, just exhausted Fia’s quest line and gave the dagger to D. On my last new game, a skeleton killed D out by Summonwater and I got his awesome twin armor set!
I was so determined in defeating margit at a low level being new to the game i died 10+ times but finally got it with the help of a fellow sorcerer and the jellyfish summon
I am so grateful for TH-cam and content creators. Made it all the way to the Elden Beast and was able to avoid all of the mistakes mentioned during my entire gameplay, thanks to you guys. It wasn’t a perfect run-through, I’ve died more in this game than I could’ve possibly imagined but a success in gameplay 100% ✊🏽♥️
I just bought game and I'm dying left and right lol.
As far as Church of elleh goes, you need to return there at night time.
As for rune use and selling, you can always just click use selected, and use 10 or 99 instead of 1... saves a trip to a merchant
You also need to die at least one time to get Ranni to spawn. Not a problem for a first play through. But, something to keep in mind for subsequent play throughs.
I think a lot of people don't sprint because this is the first Soulsborne with a state change between in-combat and non-combat, where your stamina doesn't deplete when you're not in combat. Gotta break those habits! Just be careful when you go back to other games and expect to be able to sprint everywhere. It caused a lot of sticky situations when I went back to Plat DS2 and kept expecting to still have stamina after doing a running attack to the first enemy in a horde.
Also, I forgot about Great Runes for most of my first playthrough. Probably started using Rune Arcs around Leyndell/Altus Plateau. And I still finished the game with 70+ Rune Arcs. Anyone afraid of running out is doing something wrong.
That vigor one hit me. I made it up to real Godfrey with 25 vigor and some help. The thought of my death count hurts.
The first NPC had it coming
😭
Great content and details in explaining all of your videos, keep up the good work!
Thank you 🙏
When you respec your stats will return to the base of your chosen class, it won't go back to all 1. Discovered that the hard way
No longer do any of those but great for new players. The one thing I keep thinking is that taking cover will stop attacks hitting me. I do wish they’d fix the times that happens :)
Very well done for new gamers to the game. I think my son was having issues with it. I just started a new game after finishing it. Won't make some of the mistakes again. Do all quest lines if possible. I was like wtf at the end because all I did really was Ranni's. It was a Game of Thrones ending where you say WTF. 8 seasons and it ends like this.
I definitely won’t make the same mistakes again. Missing out on some quests and different endings really makes me want to go through to new game plus though 🤣
Dont get hit, pretty big mistake that you are still making.
Also one of the most useful Merchants 3:04 is there I warp back there all the time for more arrows
Got several hugs from Fia and still defeated the first boss encounter, so technically that's a massive W in my book
You can use multiple golden runes at once by clicking "Use Selected" and press down on the directional buttons. It's better than selling them.
Beat me to it lol
You can also click right stick before using them to not leave the inventory menu if using multiple stacks
Brilliant
@@MrJonchester see this one I didn’t know ✌🏽
If you kill every NPC you unlock a secret quest.
Just started playing this morning, and this was super helpful, especially the tip about guard counters. The game doesn't really explain that very well for a first timer, and it made a huge difference.
I’m glad the video helped 👍
My starting class is usually the samurai. Simply because it starts out with a bleeding weapon.. first thing I usually do is go to Fort Farroth, and use a bleeding weapon to kill the giant white dragon. 75,000 rooms right off the bat that way.
YOU CAN RUN IN THIS GAME?! I’m 14 hours in and I’ve been walking everywhere
I played my 150 hour first play through with colossal weapons and i have to say that i find the back step attack very useful in because a lot of the enemies are programmed to punish backwards rolling quite a lot in this game. you can use it for your advantage like roll backwards agro the enemy and then backstep attack. Also if you have high endurance like i did i find it much better to block than roll when two handing my weapon and then punish with a guard counter the chip damage you get is quite minimal. I have read a lot of qritique about the boss speed versus player and finding openings for attacks, i did not find that problematic only thing i think should be faster is the healing animation. it is much more harder to find a safe healing window in elden ring than other from games. what are other players thoughts about this it would be fun to know and i have to say elden ring was the best open world game i have played and is my second favorite fromsoft game the first is sekiro.
I think healing in sekiro is harder especially in late game boss fights, especially Genichiro and Isshin. It's like they know you're attempting to heal and flash across the screen at you to knock some of what you just healed off. I swear they've damn near dashed across the arena to stop me from healing.
@@odynzeyez6259 Yes no i remember they definetly read your heal animations also in sekiro, especially in the genichiro fight if you were at right distance and tried to heal, genichiro always try to shoot you with the bow this remaind me of certain godskins in Elden ring😆
About the runes you get from the skulls. If you change the view so it show your character when the inventory is open,you can use consumables. It is a bit faster this way with the runes.
Wtf!!!
I accidentally killed Boc and I felt so bad about it. Entered a cave, ready to throw down, saw what I thought was an enemy asleep, realized who it was mid-swing and have regretted it for the rest of my play-through, haha!
Also, yes, I need to use heavy jump attacks more. I keep forgetting about that move.
As a first time player of elden ring and to add on, never playing any demon/dark souls games. i want to thank you for these great tips. Unknowingly, i found myself doing a few of these already lol.
Explore, level up, and have patience.
I am SUPER GUILTY of panic rolling I need to stop doing that 😫
"I am SUPER GUILTY of panic rolling" Same 😁
@@scottfrenz Same. I just roll around, hoping to kill the bad guy by hitting him in the ankles. Rarely works.
Another huge mistake people should be warned about:
Selling limited stock items from merchants that you can't get back until your next playthrough.
On my very first save file, I was going through my inventory selling off extra stuff I didn't need. And I failed to notice the difference between the regular caestus and the spiked caestus, and sold my spiked one. Unfortunately there is only one spiked caestus for sale from one particular merchant in the entire game, and once I sold it, it became impossible for me to ever get it back before NG+. Any weapons or armor sold by merchants are often limited to a single stock, and if you buy and sell any of those items, they're gone for good! So be very careful not to sell off anything you can't get back.
The golden rune things i had no idea what they did....... when i realised i had over 80k lol but u can use them all at once now as well.
Great list. By now I had figured out most of these, the one I keep forgetting is the same as you, using the great runes. The one I disagree with is holding on to your runes. I have been playing for close to two hundred hours and I only have three sacrificial twigs, so there really aren't that many. Plus it takes up an important Talisman slot. Honestly, once I stopped worrying about runes it made the game so much more enjoyable. There are a couple of cool rune farming spots in the game, some for early game and some for late game. You can look these up, there's hundreds of videos on TH-cam. Also, some new players think you lose everything when you die, but all you lose is runes. Anything else you pick up you keep, even those golden runes you find. I like to keep a good amount of those in my inventory just so when I find a merchant I have something to buy stuff with.
