"I got cooked. I like that fight though" universal experience of fighting the crucible knight the first time. The best bosses are the ones that kick your ass but you still love fighting them
Moonveil is one of the best katanas in the game. If you like the unsheathe skill of your current katana, Moonveil’s skill is just an upgraded version of it.
I mean it’s good, but it’s also horrible if you want to play the game since it basically just deletes bosses without you being able to see them exist, it’s like a button that lets you win, you just press the button and then you win basically
Hey Davo! Regarding the Blaidd questline, you've actually already killed Darriwil in this video. He was the Bloodhound Knight in the Forlorn Hound's Evergaol. If you go back there, Blaidd will have some rewards for you!
@@MoreLoreThenThereSeems to be fair though I also missed Darriwil's name the first time after defeating him. Still getting overwhelmed by the amount of names & bosses I had to remember, and just accidentally stumble upon blaidd again while randomly exploring.
no matter what anyone says about unsheate/jump attacks/etc. you are starting to see enemy patterns and rhythms - especially in that crucible knight fight you also have the patience and perseverance necessary to win unsheathe is a tool, but the one using that tool still needs to know when to apply it and when to apply other tools this is easily the most amount of improvement i have seen from anyone new to souls games (and it's entertaining af)
This is a super underrated comment, elden ring gives you many tools to overcome its challenges. A specific ash of war, a status effect, just going off and levelling, spirit ashes, even some OP magic. Whatever tool you want to use and enjoy using is how you should spend your time. The game is entirely about you enjoying the experience it has to offer
One thing that isn't really shown by the jellyfish ash is the poison. If you let it hit a boss long enough, it will poison them, giving damage over time.
Ah yes…the first time walking into literal hell, definitely an elden ring moment when the skies and the terrain go from green and blue to just straight red.
Hey bro, hopefully you see this. Really enjoying it so far. Just a few tips for ya: Don't be afraid to explore. Many caves and catacombs look simple but has very interesting loot in them. You might even find your endgame equipment. Also don't look over ashes of war. Unsheathe is good, but with the basic ash you can't infuse your weapon. Infusing is VERY important to the game. You can make your weapon do more bleed, poision, frost, rot, fire, lightning, holy, dex, and strength damage. You've heard this 1,000,000 times but DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU HOW TO PLAY!!! If they don't like your playstyle, they can gtfo! It's YOUR playthrough, do what YOU want.
First of all, thank you for the donation. And also, thank you for the tips man. I try hard to explore as much as I can bc you can only have your first play through once. I wanna expose myself to as much as possible
Don't worry about trolls that have been playing the game for 2 years. Use whatever attack style you enjoy. At the end of the day, it's a game. Have fun.
And git gud then die a lot then remember to train to git gud more! Just to rinse and repeat the cycle until you feel that you had enough of this beautiful masterpiece of a game!
I still cant believe people like this exist dude, like people really be out here telling people how to play the game. Can they not hear themselves sounding so obnoxious?
the moonveil is one of the best katanas in the game, its definitely worth getting the stats to use it also the jellyfish is a she and her name is aurelia
Underrated opinion, but I think you've gotten really good at the game already Davo. You're progressing into areas that are way above your level and still going at it, not to mention you've went from having a nigh-universally considered easy boss being one that traumatized you, to fighting community agreed upon difficult bosses and showing relatively the same struggle against them as even I do, despite having over 500 hours in the game! You're doing great! Keep it up! Also! Another hint for you as per usual! Shields, they may not seem that useful, but some can negate 100% physical damage when used (which means as long as you have enough endurance to tank the hit, you won't lose any hp!) And given that *most* damage is dealt physically, they are surprisingly valuable! Not to mention, some shields can *parry*, which I will go into next episode!
Moonveil is 100% worth it. It’s ash of war is unsheathe but fires a massive laser when used. If you really like the unsheathe you should definitely use Moonveil
Just a little tip for faster roundtable hold travel, whenever you have the map open, if you press Y-X-A, you'll get teleported there without having to move your map cursor there
Ah yes, the from software quality of life secrets, Miyazaki added while laughingat us. Though I suppose a tutorial on such minor things would be pointless since it's shown to you shen you open the map.( if you look at the button allocation in the bottom)
You ain't an unsheathe merchant, most players skills can be narrowed down to a few things...... just spamming skills, spamming jump attacks or spam rolling etc. Regardless of how you beat an enemy, boss, or the game, it is still valid. Likewise with summons, your first play through you should always prioritize your fun before challenging yourself and so using all of these available tools is warranted and generally recommended by most players.
Hell yeah, I first got comfortable with the game when I realised I really liked the Holy ash of war. Reminded me feel of LoZ 'cause it shoots a little wave beam. I used that skill a lot. It helped me decide on and spec into a dex/faith build over the strength one I thought I wanted, but also I had attached the ash to a weapon that was kinda weak, so it forced me to look at other faith weapons and weapons I could attach the ashes to. Then came dual weilding with a secondary, faster weapon, and more exploration of skills, because eventually you either hit a roadblock or you get bored of doing the same old stuff. This dude is literally just at the start of his adventure. We can't judge him for using the best strats he currently has!
True, having fun is utmost priority for 1st playthrough. You can only do it once & it lasts in your long-term memory. Enjoy however you want, it's not about doing it right yet.
For that merchant shack you found you should definitely: 1. Choose the pastime option until nightfall. 2. Get up and then immediately rest at the site of Grace again. 3. Get up again and walk around, someone's now waiting for you.
I had some flashbacks from that thumbnail. My first run I just had to beat that guy because I was doing ok with the surrounding area so surely that boss wasn't supposed to be that hard, even tho all his attack oneshotted me 😮💨
Btw, when you are in first half Caelid, which is called...well, Caelid, then you are more on level. Shit starts getting overleveled when you head into the other half called Dragonbarrow. Also, with regards to moonveil and other weapons, You can't use the skill properly till you have the stats for it, and moonveil does have a unique version of unsheath which is what makes it good. You can see that its skill has a unique name.
Caelid is hell on earth. Also I do suggest giving the moonveil a try, its basically the same thing that you have including unsheathe, but the unsheathe skill is stronger. It builds up more bleed as well
So here's the complete, comprehensive tip rundown: 0. Blaidd is looking for the guy you killed in the evergaol who you thought was teleporting(blood hound's step. Beat a caelid boss for it) His goal was to kill the guy so either find him at the evergaol of speak to him again at the ruins. Ranni's quest is the next place you meet him, it's at the castle in the northernmost tip of liurnia. 1. Faith sort of falls off in the lategame, however 12 faith gives you access to a decent variety of incantations(buy 2finger seal at roundtable if lowlevel in faith). Int spells don't metiorite staff in caelid is best staff earlygame. Carian sorceries recommended. 2. Cross-naginata is sort of like a mix of spear and katana. It's one of the best weapons. Also has more reach than katana. 3. Moonveil is realy good so work your way towards it. It's ash is similar to unsheath but with range. 4. Smithing stones become purchasable once you find the right bell bearing, so don't worry about saving them up. 5. Dragonbarrow is highest level area in caelid. Easy 70k runes if you kill greyoll, jiant dragon who cant fight back. Bleed recommended. 6. Don't feel sorry for looking up dungeon (caves, catacombes and legacy) locations there are like 8 in limgrave alone. 7. Pickled fowl feet only last 3 minutes (you wasted it when fighting the dragonkin soldier) you can buy the gold one's recipie from patches. 8. Usual progression would be to go to liurnia before caelid since it's a lower level area (steer clear of lobsters they snipe), the legacy boss of the area lets you re-spec your character if you have larval tears. N.B. highly resistant to magic. 9. The big open area in caelid is the legacy boss arena. Scarlet rot breath from dragon communion will help. Can beat him using the arena's summons alone (seperate from your spirit summons) I hope this helps and wasn't too overwhelming. Have fun, don't worry about the haters they're in the minority. And perhaps a controversial take, but it's your first playthrough so don't worry too much about farming for runes or overleveling. Enjoy the game.😅😊
By the way my first playthrough I beat margit at level 51 in 8 tries and it took me 70 hours to get there. Coming off the same base as me, at least from my perspective, you're doing a phenomenal job.
Moonveil is absolutely worth upgrading your intelligence for, its a much better version of your current katana and arguably the best katana in the game
So the Walking Mausoleum (the huge bell monster with the mausoleum on top. You see it at 19:12 in the loading screen) that you killed allows you to duplicate a remembrance that you’ve had. But only 1 per mausoleum. So if you want that axe from Godrick, you can still get it from those
“When I started this game, it didn’t seem that big” was me every time I entered a new area of the game. Elden ring is so expansive! Another great video man!
@@springer124 nah you can still dupe it, but only once. "It also doesn't matter if you've already used the Remembrance, either to get the runes or in exchange for its boss weapon. As long as you received it from the boss, you have the option to duplicate it once." -PC Gamer I think it gets slightly confusing since a few mausoleum only dupe specific remembrances.
Bro was taking on the Godskin Apostle with the JELLYFISH, then fought the Bloodhound Knight as a confidence booster and absolutely STYLED on him with skills he has gathered. ER was my first Fromsoft game and BOI, that wasn't me lol
The person Blaidd the half-wolf asked you to find, you've already found and slain him. He was the guy that was teleporting around in the gael (the area where you touched the glowing circle on the ground). Btw you can get that ability, it is an AOW(ash of war) so you have to get rid of unsheathe. But you could always put it on a knife and switch to it when you need to escape as it provides more i-frames (invincibility frames).
So that massive pot guy with a three red summons is quite a challenge. You have to defeat all three red summons without dieing in order to unlock a new talisman. The biggest problem is that the red summons are all builds that other players have used and beaten that challenge with. There is an easy way to cheese it and win without fighting. The talisman you unlock is very good at least
@@just-gaming213 Like people haven't been telling him about where to find things already. Literally ep 3 people were telling him where to find the Flask of Wondrous Physick. Not to mention how people were telling him the "location" of moonveil just to lead him to a troll. So clearly he doesn't care
@@Sun_Donut and that makes it OK? I can never understand the obsession with the souls community to tell blind players how to play the game, part of the charm of soulsgames is discovery, Davo is brand new and doesn't really know that yet so probably thinks these spoilers are all good. I bet these nerds would be the first to say "I wish I could forget elden ring so I could play it again blind" but are happy backseating away like a total chuds.
@@just-gaming213 if he didn't want people to say where things are he would have said something. I didn't say what the talisman was or what affect it had. Elden Ring was my first souls game and I appreciate the help my friends gave me with tips and pointing out spots for better gear. They didn't tell me what the meta was or hold my hand and it was still an unforgettable experience that I wouldn't change.
2:50 For a small piece of advice, Some enemy attacks can dismount you, but didn't actually kill Torrent. Thats what those arrows were doing. You could resummon torrent without consuming one of your flasks. Also, a Scarab's ball's colour will tell you what it drops; Red is health flasks Blue is FP/magic flasks Silver is Ashes of War White (hard to differentiate from silver) drop somber smithing stones, used to upgrade the less basic weapons of the world. Gold drops spells. Specifically Faith spells.
Man, I can´t emagine how stressful these troll comments must be. I´m pretty sure the people who wholeheartedly enjoy your vids outnumber the trolls massively. You seem to be a very authentic person and I appreciate that. Going for caves, catacombs and gaols is a good idea in my opinion. There are so many cool summons, ashes, stuff you need to upgrade, lore, weapons etc. in them. Helps with leveling up as a side effect. ;)
44:44 Fun Fact: Those flowers are actually crafting materials used to cause Sleep effects. So when you sneak around the sleeping bear to pick them... The bear wakes up.
The moonveil is crazy op, its ash of war is basically the unsheathed but it also shoots a projectile and it scales with magic. If you want to try it out then you’ll need to defeat the main boss in Liurnia (the lake region above limgrave) which will allow you to respec your stats if you get an item called a larval tear. Larval tears are pretty rare though, but if you need help finding some you can just look up a map of where to find them. Some enemies disguise themselves as weaker smaller enemies, and when you defeat them they’ll drop a larval tear. It’s pretty annoying to get them but it allows you to redistribute all your stats so it’s worth it.
moonveil requires more INT to use its AOW. moonveil is kinda crazy throughout the entire game so you might want it. also whenever you change your ash of war the one you currently have is NOT lost. they can be changed around however you want, the tutorial phrased it weirdly.
Absolutely loving this playthrough! Some more (spoiler free) tips here! -Moonveil: Since you are this far in the game and obtained the moonveil katana, this is a good time to introduce the concept of "builds" in elden ring. Most builds in elden ring spread their stats out between Vigor (the most important stat and the one that scales the best), one physical stat (Strength/ Dexterity) and one magical stat (Intelligence/ Faith/ Arcane*). The moonveil is a Dexterity/ Intelligence weapon with a VERY powerful ash of war (they nerfed this thing and its still one of the two best katanas in the game). =*Arcane is a physical AND magical stat. -With how you are currently playing, I suggest going for either a Dexterity/ Intelligence build (moonveil power, you can dual wield it with your current katana for more power, more about dual wielding below) or a Dexterity/ Arcane build (using 2 katanas that aren't the moonveil will give you insane bleed power). With a Dex/ Intelligence build most of your stats would be in Vigor, Dexterity, and Intelligence with some other levels sprinkled into endurance and whatever else you need to wield your weapons of choice. A Dex/ Arcane build would be the same except replacing Intelligence levels with Arcane. Try not to spread out your stats too much, otherwise you'll be weak in a lot of things instead of strong in a few things. -Power Stancing : Now that you have two of the same weapon, you can do power stancing. Power stancing is dual wielding the same weapon type in either hand. This opens up a unique and usually powerful moveset that still lets you use your ash of war in your main weapon hand. Light jump attacks while power stancing are particularily powerful. To use the powerstancing moveset, equip one of the same type of weapon in either hand (in this case, two katanas) then attack with the button you would use to attack with your off hand weapon. Same thing goes for the light jump attacks. (First note your damage will be much lower if you do not meet the stat requirements to wield both weapons -Stats in general can get complicated, so I'll make them simple here: =Vigor: Increases health. =Mind: Increases your blue bar =Endurance: Increases Stamina (and also equipment load which can make rolling with heavier gear easier) =Strength: Increases damage done with strength weapons (and makes you tougher with resistances to certain physical damage types and makes rolling with heavier gear easier.) =Dexterity: Increases damage done with dex weapons (and makes spells cast faster) =Intelligence: Increases damage done with Sorceries (and improves magic resistance) =Faith: Increases damage done with most Incantations =Arcane: Increases damage done with Arcane scaling weapons (and increases BLEED/ POISON/ SLEEP/ ????* BUILDUP as well as increases chance of items dropping from enemies) *Censored for spoilers ==It should be noted that some Incantations/ Spells break the Faith/ Intelligence/ Arcane rule, examine the spell in question for more information, though I doubt magic is something you are going to use. -Armor: Different armor gives you different effects, some of which are really dramatic. Make sure you read their descriptions! =Poise: Changes how likely you are to flinch or be interrupted when you are hit by an enemy. Higher poise means more resistance. =Resistance: Some armor is more resistant to or weak against slashing, piercing, strike, standard, and magic damage. =Effects: Some armor provides special effects like heavy resistance to status effects, or increases damage dealt with certain attacks. Cant wait for the next video. Enjoy your journey through the Lands Between!
@@pyrocode97I wouldn’t it just makes players worse I invade 4 hours a day everytime I see moonveil I know it’s a free win they don’t learn the game they just mash weapon art it’s even worse than ROB users it’s sad I’d recommend literally anything else for new players so they can learn mechanics instead of cheesing everything, and before you say something stupid I’ve helped over 200 people complete the game the 17 that used moonveil don’t play anymore it makes the game truly unfun for them cause they can’t just WA to victory. I have 2700 hours in ER and I’ve seen it a million times moonveil=only gonna play PvE and stop playing as soon as they kill the Elden Beast it’s sad
Awesome vid yet again. Quick tip: if you wanna experience the most satisfying feeling in the game, get urself a shield with the "parry" Ash of war and use that against a crucible knight once u find another one. keep it up
Another one at the bottom of stormveil castle for those brave enough to fight one for the low reward of the (Aspect of the crucible: breath) incantation.
Moonveil is a notoriously good weapon and is worth the investment imo. But because of its stat requirement and because it needs somber smithing stones, I would recommend putting levels into intelligence to use it (if you want to use it of course) at around mid game or when you have almost finished early game. For clarification, I consider liurnia, limgrave and caelid to be early game.
Yo, David! I’m writing this comment to let you know just how much I love this series as a whole, it is everything I want from a TH-cam gaming series. Long form Episodes, smartly placed edits that enhance the experience, and to top it all of. Getting to see someone experiencing one of my favorite video games for the first time. I gotta say, man. I’m really glad you’re enjoying Elden Ring, I can wait to see what lies ahead for you on this journey and the upcoming DLC as well! You’ve earned a sub from me

@@f210-t1r Chill, bro. ER is such a massive video game, i'm sure he'll find what playstyle he enjoy over time. We're all just listing out suggestions, he can pick whatever he thinks fit the best for his 1st playthrough anyway.
@@OneArmedWolfshinobi it’ll only be one playthrough if he uses moonveil like I said 17/200 people I helped used moonveil EVERY SINGLE ONE only did one playthrough and never played again

I'm sure u did your best in guiding them all & 9 out of 10 people still come back to play more is *big W* imo💯 People got different tastes in video game that suit them, that's how it is.
I have to say: I am extremely impressed with how well you handled that Godskin Apostle fight! You are a new player, in an area scaled for later in the game and you're staying alive for faaar longer than most would! No shame in losing, you've done well :) (Dragonbarrow is part of Caelid but it's scaled much higher in terms of difficulty, it can be rather jarring)
if you go to stormveil castle and look at the map you can see that theres a hole in the middle, you can find a parkour course down to the bottom somewhere around the rampart tower grace where theres a secret boss.
Honestly it's a special kind of impressive to be able to like take down a rune bear, with confidence even is wild, backing up that confidence with actually just handedly kicking it's ass is INSANE
btw, if you have 2 weapons of the same class (ex. 2 katanas), you can equip one in your mainhand and one in your offhand. This will allow you to powerstance both weapons effectively giving you two hits per attack input.
YOOOOO new vid WWWWW Moonveil is worth the int btw also you can put one katana in one hand and one in another to power stance/duel wield :) PS dw about the haters your one of most entertaining elden ring lets-players.
Brother, idk about anyone else but your content is a lot entertaining, only thing i have to say is just "Get gud" 😂 Would love to see the growth 👍 Oh yeah btw, moonveil is cash money, up ur int Edit: saying this after watching the whole thing and i know its pretty obvious but "Time Your Rolls"
If Davo has 1 million fans, I am one of them If Davo has 1 hundred fans, I am among the hundred If Davo has 1 fan, that fan is me If Davo has no fans, I am no longer alive If the world is against Davo, then I am against the world W Glaze, algorithm comment
Legit one of the most fun to watch ER playthroughs on TH-cam. Also, everyone likes Alexander 💪 Edit:- Also leveling your int or faith might be fun, spells are fun as hell in this game. Both int and faith have some badass shit(for example faith lets u use some blackflame spells like the godskin)
Bruh... Leave the whole boss fight in when you win. We all want to see that shit, editing down boss fights is a terrible idea Souls games are all about the boss fights, editing down your victory attempt on a boss is absolutely tragic. 😂
You can use two katanas at the same time if you place them on your left and right hand in your inventory. If you use two of the same weapon on your left and right hands on your equipment you attack with both of them at the same time.
There’s more than one catalyst for spells. There’s a bunch of those sacred seals in game that have different stats and some even buff certain specific spells
I've watched many playthroughs of this game. This is currently my favorite one. Thank you for the edits my guy. Also, as a quick note: I personally like watching someone's full fight against a boss whenever they fight it. Something about skipping to the last hit takes a lot of the suspense of watching you fight and show how you've grown out of the episode. If that's how you wanna keep editing the episodes then by all means you do you, I'll still watch and like your shit xD
42:40 you can buy a reliable finger seal at the old lady in the roundtable hold (North from roundtable hold grace), on any build you'll only need 12 faith min for buffs, etc. You can buy spells from brother corhyn too, the guy in yellow robes.

Don't be afraid to explore. Many caves and catacombs look simple but has very interesting loot in them. You might even find your endgame equipment. Also don't look over ashes of war. Unsheathe is good, but with the basic ash you can't infuse your weapon. Infusing is VERY important to the game.

Underrated opinion, but I think you've gotten really good at the game already Davo. You're progressing into areas that are way above your level and still going at it, not to mention you've went from having a nigh-universally considered easy boss being one that traumatized you, to fighting community agreed upon difficult bosses and showing relatively the same struggle against them as even I do, despite having over 500 hours in the game! You're doing great! Keep it up!
Also! Another hint for you as per usual!
Shields, they may not seem that useful, but some can negate 100% physical damage when used (which means as long as you have enough endurance to tank the hit, you won't lose any hp!) And given that *most* damage is dealt physically, they are surprisingly valuable! Not to mention, some shields can *parry*, which I will go into next episode!
Shields are made even more op if you have a thrusting weapon since you can shield poke.
@@Crousmouse true, true
Moonveil is 100% worth it. It’s ash of war is unsheathe but fires a massive laser when used. If you really like the unsheathe you should definitely use Moonveil

It helped me decide on and spec into a dex/faith build over the strength one I thought I wanted, but also I had attached the ash to a weapon that was kinda weak, so it forced me to look at other faith weapons and weapons I could attach the ashes to. Then came dual weilding with a secondary, faster weapon, and more exploration of skills, because eventually you either hit a roadblock or you get bored of doing the same old stuff.
This dude is literally just at the start of his adventure. We can't judge him for using the best strats he currently has!
True, having fun is utmost priority for 1st playthrough. You can only do it once & it lasts in your long-term memory. Enjoy however you want, it's not about doing it right yet.
For that merchant shack you found you should definitely:
1. Choose the pastime option until nightfall.
2. Get up and then immediately rest at the site of Grace again.
3. Get up again and walk around, someone's now waiting for you.
Ahaha very funny
Yes it gives the best questline in the game
liar ahead
Im going to do this… I hope it isn’t bait 😭
@@davobands Pain ahead.. maybe you'll like it
Each catacomb has a statue of Rosus nearby to point towards them. It’s a statue of a Skelton man hunched over
If it doesn’t light up it means you’ve already found the catacomb
They'll be along cliff edges or the highest point of the area, ofter both.
Godskin in the thumbnail you know whats gonna happen
It’s over for him 😂😂
I had some flashbacks from that thumbnail. My first run I just had to beat that guy because I was doing ok with the surrounding area so surely that boss wasn't supposed to be that hard, even tho all his attack oneshotted me 😮💨
Btw, when you are in first half Caelid, which is called...well, Caelid, then you are more on level. Shit starts getting overleveled when you head into the other half called Dragonbarrow.
Also, with regards to moonveil and other weapons, You can't use the skill properly till you have the stats for it, and moonveil does have a unique version of unsheath which is what makes it good. You can see that its skill has a unique name.
Caelid is hell on earth.
Also I do suggest giving the moonveil a try, its basically the same thing that you have including unsheathe, but the unsheathe skill is stronger. It builds up more bleed as well
So here's the complete, comprehensive tip rundown:
0. Blaidd is looking for the guy you killed in the evergaol who you thought was teleporting(blood hound's step. Beat a caelid boss for it) His goal was to kill the guy so either find him at the evergaol of speak to him again at the ruins. Ranni's quest is the next place you meet him, it's at the castle in the northernmost tip of liurnia.
1. Faith sort of falls off in the lategame, however 12 faith gives you access to a decent variety of incantations(buy 2finger seal at roundtable if lowlevel in faith). Int spells don't metiorite staff in caelid is best staff earlygame. Carian sorceries recommended.
2. Cross-naginata is sort of like a mix of spear and katana. It's one of the best weapons. Also has more reach than katana.
3. Moonveil is realy good so work your way towards it. It's ash is similar to unsheath but with range.
4. Smithing stones become purchasable once you find the right bell bearing, so don't worry about saving them up.
5. Dragonbarrow is highest level area in caelid. Easy 70k runes if you kill greyoll, jiant dragon who cant fight back. Bleed recommended.
6. Don't feel sorry for looking up dungeon (caves, catacombes and legacy) locations there are like 8 in limgrave alone.
7. Pickled fowl feet only last 3 minutes (you wasted it when fighting the dragonkin soldier) you can buy the gold one's recipie from patches.
8. Usual progression would be to go to liurnia before caelid since it's a lower level area (steer clear of lobsters they snipe), the legacy boss of the area lets you re-spec your character if you have larval tears. N.B. highly resistant to magic.
9. The big open area in caelid is the legacy boss arena. Scarlet rot breath from dragon communion will help. Can beat him using the arena's summons alone (seperate from your spirit summons)
I hope this helps and wasn't too overwhelming. Have fun, don't worry about the haters they're in the minority. And perhaps a controversial take, but it's your first playthrough so don't worry too much about farming for runes or overleveling.
Enjoy the game.😅😊
By the way my first playthrough I beat margit at level 51 in 8 tries and it took me 70 hours to get there. Coming off the same base as me, at least from my perspective, you're doing a phenomenal job.
bouta sit back and watch this like a movie
Moonveil is absolutely worth upgrading your intelligence for, its a much better version of your current katana and arguably the best katana in the game
There's something very satisfying about double uchis though.
Yeah. Transient moonlight pretty much is just like normal unsheathe except it releases a projectile wave that does a hell of a lot of damage.
Yeah, it’s good but it’s also like a button you can press to just win, sort of boring
@@MoreLoreThenThereSeems So? Rivers of Blood is the L2 to Win Katana due to Corpse Piler
@@robertwye9463 what’s your point
So the Walking Mausoleum (the huge bell monster with the mausoleum on top. You see it at 19:12 in the loading screen) that you killed allows you to duplicate a remembrance that you’ve had. But only 1 per mausoleum. So if you want that axe from Godrick, you can still get it from those
Gets this to the top so he sees
mausoleums with BELLS*
“When I started this game, it didn’t seem that big” was me every time I entered a new area of the game. Elden ring is so expansive! Another great video man!
The skill on the moonveil is basically long range unsheathe and it's great. Also, there's a lot of very good weapons that also require int.
Dont worry about selling the remembrance! You get multiple chances to copy remembrances, and can always get the weapons later.
Buddy that’s cap
@@springer124please explain how utilising the wandering mausoleums for their intended purpose is cap? 🤔
@@springer124 yeah you can literally duplicate remembrances, and failing that, there is always NG+
Well the thing is that if you use it, I don’t think you can multiply it
@@springer124 nah you can still dupe it, but only once.
"It also doesn't matter if you've already used the Remembrance, either to get the runes or in exchange for its boss weapon. As long as you received it from the boss, you have the option to duplicate it once." -PC Gamer
I think it gets slightly confusing since a few mausoleum only dupe specific remembrances.
NEW DAVO DROPPED 🗣🗣‼‼‼
Bro was taking on the Godskin Apostle with the JELLYFISH, then fought the Bloodhound Knight as a confidence booster and absolutely STYLED on him with skills he has gathered. ER was my first Fromsoft game and BOI, that wasn't me lol
No worries about the mic quality! We all know technical stuff happens. Your content is still great despite that. Keep up the good work!
My man Alexander is not only a Noble warrior, but also a professional spy, as show at 16:57
Darriwil is the bloodhound knight boss you fought, btw
The person Blaidd the half-wolf asked you to find, you've already found and slain him. He was the guy that was teleporting around in the gael (the area where you touched the glowing circle on the ground). Btw you can get that ability, it is an AOW(ash of war) so you have to get rid of unsheathe. But you could always put it on a knife and switch to it when you need to escape as it provides more i-frames (invincibility frames).
So that massive pot guy with a three red summons is quite a challenge. You have to defeat all three red summons without dieing in order to unlock a new talisman. The biggest problem is that the red summons are all builds that other players have used and beaten that challenge with. There is an easy way to cheese it and win without fighting. The talisman you unlock is very good at least
Absolutely zero reason to tell him the reward is a good talisman. Just let the guy figure stuff out himself.
Pointless spoiler
@@just-gaming213 Like people haven't been telling him about where to find things already. Literally ep 3 people were telling him where to find the Flask of Wondrous Physick. Not to mention how people were telling him the "location" of moonveil just to lead him to a troll. So clearly he doesn't care
@@Sun_Donut and that makes it OK?
I can never understand the obsession with the souls community to tell blind players how to play the game, part of the charm of soulsgames is discovery, Davo is brand new and doesn't really know that yet so probably thinks these spoilers are all good.
I bet these nerds would be the first to say "I wish I could forget elden ring so I could play it again blind" but are happy backseating away like a total chuds.
@@just-gaming213 if he didn't want people to say where things are he would have said something. I didn't say what the talisman was or what affect it had. Elden Ring was my first souls game and I appreciate the help my friends gave me with tips and pointing out spots for better gear. They didn't tell me what the meta was or hold my hand and it was still an unforgettable experience that I wouldn't change.
2:50 For a small piece of advice, Some enemy attacks can dismount you, but didn't actually kill Torrent. Thats what those arrows were doing. You could resummon torrent without consuming one of your flasks.
Also, a Scarab's ball's colour will tell you what it drops;
Red is health flasks
Blue is FP/magic flasks
Silver is Ashes of War
White (hard to differentiate from silver) drop somber smithing stones, used to upgrade the less basic weapons of the world.
Gold drops spells. Specifically Faith spells.
Man, I can´t emagine how stressful these troll comments must be. I´m pretty sure the people who wholeheartedly enjoy your vids outnumber the trolls massively. You seem to be a very authentic person and I appreciate that.
Going for caves, catacombs and gaols is a good idea in my opinion. There are so many cool summons, ashes, stuff you need to upgrade, lore, weapons etc. in them. Helps with leveling up as a side effect. ;)
44:44 Fun Fact: Those flowers are actually crafting materials used to cause Sleep effects. So when you sneak around the sleeping bear to pick them... The bear wakes up.
Caelid got HANDS. Don't give up tho!
The moonveil is crazy op, its ash of war is basically the unsheathed but it also shoots a projectile and it scales with magic. If you want to try it out then you’ll need to defeat the main boss in Liurnia (the lake region above limgrave) which will allow you to respec your stats if you get an item called a larval tear. Larval tears are pretty rare though, but if you need help finding some you can just look up a map of where to find them. Some enemies disguise themselves as weaker smaller enemies, and when you defeat them they’ll drop a larval tear. It’s pretty annoying to get them but it allows you to redistribute all your stats so it’s worth it.
moonveil requires more INT to use its AOW.
moonveil is kinda crazy throughout the entire game so you might want it.
also whenever you change your ash of war the one you currently have is NOT lost. they can be changed around however you want, the tutorial phrased it weirdly.
Hey man, you've been pumping out bangers lately. I've been looking forward to every episode. Keep up the good work bro
I'm genuinely tweaking without more davobands elden ring videos
Absolutely loving this playthrough! Some more (spoiler free) tips here!
-Moonveil: Since you are this far in the game and obtained the moonveil katana, this is a good time to introduce the concept of "builds" in elden ring. Most builds in elden ring spread their stats out between Vigor (the most important stat and the one that scales the best), one physical stat (Strength/ Dexterity) and one magical stat (Intelligence/ Faith/ Arcane*). The moonveil is a Dexterity/ Intelligence weapon with a VERY powerful ash of war (they nerfed this thing and its still one of the two best katanas in the game).
=*Arcane is a physical AND magical stat.
-With how you are currently playing, I suggest going for either a Dexterity/ Intelligence build (moonveil power, you can dual wield it with your current katana for more power, more about dual wielding below) or a Dexterity/ Arcane build (using 2 katanas that aren't the moonveil will give you insane bleed power). With a Dex/ Intelligence build most of your stats would be in Vigor, Dexterity, and Intelligence with some other levels sprinkled into endurance and whatever else you need to wield your weapons of choice. A Dex/ Arcane build would be the same except replacing Intelligence levels with Arcane. Try not to spread out your stats too much, otherwise you'll be weak in a lot of things instead of strong in a few things.
-Power Stancing : Now that you have two of the same weapon, you can do power stancing. Power stancing is dual wielding the same weapon type in either hand. This opens up a unique and usually powerful moveset that still lets you use your ash of war in your main weapon hand. Light jump attacks while power stancing are particularily powerful. To use the powerstancing moveset, equip one of the same type of weapon in either hand (in this case, two katanas) then attack with the button you would use to attack with your off hand weapon. Same thing goes for the light jump attacks. (First note your damage will be much lower if you do not meet the stat requirements to wield both weapons
-Stats in general can get complicated, so I'll make them simple here:
=Vigor: Increases health.
=Mind: Increases your blue bar
=Endurance: Increases Stamina (and also equipment load which can make rolling with heavier gear easier)
=Strength: Increases damage done with strength weapons (and makes you tougher with resistances to certain physical damage types and makes rolling with heavier gear easier.)
=Dexterity: Increases damage done with dex weapons (and makes spells cast faster)
=Intelligence: Increases damage done with Sorceries (and improves magic resistance)
=Faith: Increases damage done with most Incantations
=Arcane: Increases damage done with Arcane scaling weapons (and increases BLEED/ POISON/ SLEEP/ ????* BUILDUP as well as increases chance of items dropping from enemies)
*Censored for spoilers
==It should be noted that some Incantations/ Spells break the Faith/ Intelligence/ Arcane rule, examine the spell in question for more information, though I doubt magic is something you are going to use.
-Armor: Different armor gives you different effects, some of which are really dramatic. Make sure you read their descriptions!
=Poise: Changes how likely you are to flinch or be interrupted when you are hit by an enemy. Higher poise means more resistance.
=Resistance: Some armor is more resistant to or weak against slashing, piercing, strike, standard, and magic damage.
=Effects: Some armor provides special effects like heavy resistance to status effects, or increases damage dealt with certain attacks.
Cant wait for the next video. Enjoy your journey through the Lands Between!
This comment right here is perfect info for newer players, and I would definitely recommend the moonveil any day of the week
@@pyrocode97I wouldn’t it just makes players worse I invade 4 hours a day everytime I see moonveil I know it’s a free win they don’t learn the game they just mash weapon art it’s even worse than ROB users it’s sad I’d recommend literally anything else for new players so they can learn mechanics instead of cheesing everything, and before you say something stupid I’ve helped over 200 people complete the game the 17 that used moonveil don’t play anymore it makes the game truly unfun for them cause they can’t just WA to victory. I have 2700 hours in ER and I’ve seen it a million times moonveil=only gonna play PvE and stop playing as soon as they kill the Elden Beast it’s sad
Awesome vid yet again.
Quick tip: if you wanna experience the most satisfying feeling in the game, get urself a shield with the "parry" Ash of war and use that against a crucible knight once u find another one.
keep it up
Another one at the bottom of stormveil castle for those brave enough to fight one for the low reward of the (Aspect of the crucible: breath) incantation.
Godskin and saying '27 vigor is crazy' I LOVE THIS PLAYTHROUGH 😂
the true dectus medallion was the friends we made along the way
This series is one I actually look forwforward to and find myself checking every day for a new drop. Keep it up brother
Moonveil is a notoriously good weapon and is worth the investment imo. But because of its stat requirement and because it needs somber smithing stones, I would recommend putting levels into intelligence to use it (if you want to use it of course) at around mid game or when you have almost finished early game. For clarification, I consider liurnia, limgrave and caelid to be early game.
You can duplicate remembrances with the giant walking turtle mausoleums. Also moonveil is very worth it.
Someone send my man a Windows license key.
Yo, David! I’m writing this comment to let you know just how much I love this series as a whole, it is everything I want from a TH-cam gaming series. Long form Episodes, smartly placed edits that enhance the experience, and to top it all of. Getting to see someone experiencing one of my favorite video games for the first time.
I gotta say, man. I’m really glad you’re enjoying Elden Ring, I can wait to see what lies ahead for you on this journey and the upcoming DLC as well! You’ve earned a sub from me
Man found one of the best Katana in the entire game 😂. Cant wait until he figures out you can dual wield the katana’s
Right! He should totally put Cold Uchigatana on left hand, Moonveil on right hand🙌🏻
@@OneArmedWolfshinobino more moonveil gameplay please everyone that uses it learns nothing it’s a cheese weapon I want him to actually get better I have hope for him
@@f210-t1r Chill, bro. ER is such a massive video game, i'm sure he'll find what playstyle he enjoy over time. We're all just listing out suggestions, he can pick whatever he thinks fit the best for his 1st playthrough anyway.
@@OneArmedWolfshinobi it’ll only be one playthrough if he uses moonveil like I said 17/200 people I helped used moonveil EVERY SINGLE ONE only did one playthrough and never played again
@@f210-t1r That's literally like, 1 out of 10 of them, no biggie🤷🏻♂️ The lowest imaginable counted ratio of someone only playing one playthrough. I'm sure u did your best in guiding them all & 9 out of 10 people still come back to play more is *big W* imo💯 People got different tastes in video game that suit them, that's how it is.
I have to say: I am extremely impressed with how well you handled that Godskin Apostle fight! You are a new player, in an area scaled for later in the game and you're staying alive for faaar longer than most would! No shame in losing, you've done well :) (Dragonbarrow is part of Caelid but it's scaled much higher in terms of difficulty, it can be rather jarring)
The activate windows in the corner lmao
if you go to stormveil castle and look at the map you can see that theres a hole in the middle, you can find a parkour course down to the bottom somewhere around the rampart tower grace where theres a secret boss.
LEST GOOOOOOOOOOO
Ps: Moonveil is a good weapon for mages, it has a special ash of war but you cant use it if you dont meet the stats requirement
Honestly it's a special kind of impressive to be able to like take down a rune bear, with confidence even is wild, backing up that confidence with actually just handedly kicking it's ass is INSANE
dont forget to extinguish the dialog of NPCs! Theyll keep talking with you if you let them!

you can continue blaids questline in caria manor in liurnia. It’s a big quest which includes a special ending.
Caelid is legit hell, I hope you enjoy it! 😂
btw, if you have 2 weapons of the same class (ex. 2 katanas), you can equip one in your mainhand and one in your offhand. This will allow you to powerstance both weapons effectively giving you two hits per attack input.
YOOOOO new vid WWWWW
Moonveil is worth the int btw also you can put one katana in one hand and one in another to power stance/duel wield :)
PS dw about the haters your one of most entertaining elden ring lets-players.
Love you Davo, addicted to your videos
I love YOU
HE’S BAAAAAAACK
You can dual wield katanas. Equip one for the bow and keep uchigatana in the slot you have equipped. More damage and you’ll be happy.
moonveil is one of the best weapon and is really worth the points, keep in mind if you use moonveil, toxic souls player will get pissed at you.
Sadly yes. F*ck the gatekeepers. Dex/Int is a super fun build.
nah moonveil isn't really op anymore unless you're leveling your int a fuck ton. On release it used to stagger everything in 2 hits.

Having so much fun watching you go through this. You as a person and your editing make it even better
Bro you need to activate your windows.
Legit one of the most fun to watch ER playthroughs on TH-cam.
Also, everyone likes Alexander 💪
Edit:- Also leveling your int or faith might be fun, spells are fun as hell in this game. Both int and faith have some badass shit(for example faith lets u use some blackflame spells like the godskin)
Bruh... Leave the whole boss fight in when you win.
We all want to see that shit, editing down boss fights is a terrible idea
Souls games are all about the boss fights, editing down your victory attempt on a boss is absolutely tragic. 😂
That bloodhounds fang weapon is a really good bleed weapon and I think you’d like it
Love to see the progress man. Good job tackling Caelid so far :)
Caelid is hell on earth. Even at lvl 90-100 it will still give you nothing but problems.
You can use two katanas at the same time if you place them on your left and right hand in your inventory. If you use two of the same weapon on your left and right hands on your equipment you attack with both of them at the same time.
The only Elden Ring play through I’ve been looking forward to for every episode
These videos are so relatable and funny
buy the beast repellent torch at the caelid merchant up north; it, well, repels beasts like the dogs in caelid
Love your Elden Ring videos❤
you can buy a seal to use faith spells from roundtable crones that you can already use
Def just take your time we all make mistakes and learn from them but the community is growing none the less so keep pushing
27:43 then ya boi gets up the Tower of Caelid first try! Wicked jump puzzle skills!
There’s more than one catalyst for spells. There’s a bunch of those sacred seals in game that have different stats and some even buff certain specific spells
“I’m conquering Caelid today”
can’t wait to see how this goes
Yet somehow he did better than I thought, still a wild statement to make when you challenging dragonbarrow at that level.
I've watched many playthroughs of this game.
This is currently my favorite one. Thank you for the edits my guy. Also, as a quick note: I personally like watching someone's full fight against a boss whenever they fight it. Something about skipping to the last hit takes a lot of the suspense of watching you fight and show how you've grown out of the episode. If that's how you wanna keep editing the episodes then by all means you do you, I'll still watch and like your shit xD
42:40 you can buy a reliable finger seal at the old lady in the roundtable hold (North from roundtable hold grace), on any build you'll only need 12 faith min for buffs, etc. You can buy spells from brother corhyn too, the guy in yellow robes.
