About the game:
Elden Ring is a 2022 action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware. It was directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki with worldbuilding provided by American fantasy writer George R. R. Martin. It was published for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on February 25 in Japan by FromSoftware and internationally by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Set in the Lands Between, players control a customizable player character on a quest to repair the Elden Ring and become the new Elden Lord.
Elden Ring is presented through a third-person perspective with players freely roaming its open world. The six main areas are traversed using the player character's steed Torrent as the primary mode of travel. Linear, hidden dungeons can be explored to find useful items. Players can use several types of weapons and magic spells, including non-direct engagement enabled by stealth mechanics. Throughout the game's world, checkpoints enable fast travel and allow players to improve their attributes using an in-game currency called runes. Elden Ring features an online multiplayer mode in which players join through cooperative play to fight bosses or engage in player versus player combat.
FromSoftware wanted to create an open-world game based on Dark Souls. Miyazaki admired Martin's previous work and hoped that his contributions would produce a more accessible narrative than those of the company's earlier games. Martin was given unrestricted freedom to design the backstory, while Miyazaki was lead writer for the in-game narrative. However, the game's narrative is still presented through flavor text, dialogue, visual narrative, and players' interpretations. The developers concentrated on environmental scale, role-playing, and the story; the scale required the construction of several structures inside the open world.
Elden Ring won several Game of the Year awards and has been cited as one of the greatest games of all time, with praise directed towards its open world, gameplay systems, and setting, despite criticism for its technical performance. It sold 25 million copies, also making it one of the best-selling games of all time. The downloadable content Shadow of the Erdtree follows the player character solving the mysteries of the Lands of Shadow. It was released in June 2024 to similar acclaim.
What a surreal feeling to be back in Elden Ring. Where it all started ❤
Definitely feeling like a Souls Virgin again with this difficulty lmao.
I hope you enjoy the suffering and thanks again to Glenn & the channel members for the support y'all truly rock!
We back
Are you gonna be summoning? You probably adress it later in the vid but just asking early🙏
I hope you try to explore the entire thing.
@matiasgago My prayers have been answered! Tarnished Mati has returned! A great surprise to wake up to. Now to watch. 😊
Just 100% shadow of the Erdtree don’t wanna spoil it, but this DLC makes Elden ring the hardest souls game.
Bro said “bloodhound fang, become my blade once more”
"Ah you were at my side... all along."
*me to my blasphemous and moonlight blade*
@@edgarallenpo8330"my true mentor...my guinding moonlight"
For me is the Ordovis sword and Siluria spear
I did too. The boss basically demanded it 😅
@@kaiquealmeida2412 fn goosebumps dude
@@jackoliar611 Ludwig is one of the bosses that give goosebumps when i fight with him man
Probably the only streamer I found who appreciates music, i feel the same. The music literally gives goosebumps and enhances the experience!
I don't get how most people just don't seem to notice the music in games overall. They're a huge part of how you experience the game, especially with fromsoftware's bosses ost's
Nice pfp @@sunbro29
mythymoo is another who always acknowledges it
Bro Midras soundtrack is top fucking notch, in my top 5 from From Soft easily
Dude everyone does
Our boy Blackgeol Knight is here to show us how rusty everyone is
He was sending "Put these foolish ambitions to rest" vibes 😂
yeah he was rough first up, that poise really got me..
Dude has the poise of a panzer division
Honestly a very fun boss. Started a new main game before DLC and it was rough after not playing for so long. Jumping straight into the DLC after not playing maingame for years can be difficult
@@theeyethatchanges frfr
Another non-spoilery tip: The shades that are carrying a sparkling pot on their head are this game’s scarab beetles. Most of them have Scadutree Fragments.
I have already slain a few bosses and didn't know this. I should have suspected something was up when one of them just disappeared while i was fighting a golden knight 💀
This game has literal scarab beetles tho.
@@just-gaming213I think he meant this games crystal lizards
@@tehCostHD I think he meant this DLC Scarab
@@Cantharyyou have to kill them before the pot breaks
the most important thing is: explore, explore and explore once more, it will make bosses easier, and there are some game of the decade level beautiful things around
Yeah 1:37:40 "What's the point?" I kinda died inside, not gonna lie 😂. The world is incredible and the smaller dungeons are amazing and worth exploring for sure. I'm glad he switched it up.
You talking to little Messmer throughout was so good 😂
lil bro might turn into a verbally abused punching bag once he faces the real one lmfao
He's giving off Kratos Head vibes and I love it.
@@liluminati9791 lil' Messmer is absolutely getting thrown lol
"It's your grease " really got lol
38:00 Mati the moment that thing dropped down in my game I immediately thought "Mati is going to LOVE these guys 😂".
Classic moment.
I can't deal with giant things like that either. I had to look to the side, and use my peripheral vision to run past them
Same here!! haah
Not sure if you found out yet, but there were production issues with the art book so it’s being delivered separately at not additional cost according to the email from Bandai I received
You can buy a lantern from the merchant in the southwest side of the Weeping Peninsula; it's bright enough for most dark areas so you can avoid dedicating a weapon slot for a torch.
I love how the first chest Mati is like “this gonna be a trap?!”. See From Software have destroyed our trust in chests for years now!
They trained us like we are dogs. If i see a chest imeadiatly think its a mimic. If i see an item easy to get imeadiatly think theres an enemy right in the corner. Theres an enemy bending their ass to you, you better think that someone will appear from behind and shove a spear in your ass.
Bro I’m warning you I’m just gonna say one thing, show the final boss absolutely NO mercy💀
I really really really wish no one acts like a douche and spoil him the final boss
@@okami9039 yeah I know, I was really excited to know who the final boss is as I’ve heard so many things about it and the difficulty and I ended up getting spoiled on a TikTok it pissed me off so bad, then again I kind of deserved it bec I told myself no TikTok when playing dlc and didn’t listen to myself
@@dylandooley8494I was trying to fix technical issues I was having and managed to avoid spoilers while on the subreddit only for the first YT thumbnail I saw that day to spoil it for me.
@@dylandooley8494 tbf the NPCs already tell you who the final boss is in the 3rd dungeon lol.
personally I got spoiled on the boss before the DLC even released because of the leaks, I was convinced the leaks were fake, so i just saw the name of the boss, but avoided watching the video in case it was real.
@@okami9039 I opened one unrelated comment on a spoiler free YT video and someone already called it out. I'd just started fighting the Lion Dancer and was piiiiissssed. But it is what it is I guess. My fault for not going dark on social media.
The best open world map design ive ever experienced. It is not even close. The layers, the way things intertwine and i still have like half to explore.
I’d recommend that if you want to survive more than two hits, you ought to take of Radagon’s soreseal/scarseal because it increases the damage you take, then put on either the dragoncrest greatshield which will significantly improve your physical defense, or the Great Jar Arsenal which would allow you to wear heavier/stronger armor. But anyways, amazing to see you play the DLC!! I first watched your Elden Ring playthrough and have watched nearly every series you’ve done since, I hope you enjoy this DLC, out of all the Souls DLCs, this one is by far my favorite, so good luck! :)
YOOOO! WE’RE SO BACK. Ive already played up until the final boss, and lemme say, ur gonna be challenged and love this dlc my bro! Cant wait to binge tf outta this
My dog b returns! Im ready bro (im not)
WE BACK BABY
SO BACK
I didn't watch any other Shadow of the Erdtree gameplay just so I could get the full first experience here. FromSoft rarely misses with DLC, so I can't wait to see what they've cooked up with this one.
Let's go!
Small tip. let the soreseal go. it makes you take more damage.
Hey man, dunno if my comment is late or anything, but I haven't seen anyone else mention it, so I thought I should. One of the bigger reasons that you're taking SO much damage is the soreseal talisman that you have equipped, it really reduces your damage negation stats. and at level ~150 or more, especially for the dlc and how they work, those defense reductions are really not worth the trade, its better for lower level play. you would be much more resilient and survive much more encounters if your physical defense were higher, so equip the dragon defense talisman. or takers cameo for that extra healing that keeps you going when exploring the map. also, final tip. equip morgot's rune, consume a rune arc and be amazed at how much harder it is for them to kill you. Cheers, my friend! love the videos.
Truth.
They're not called the "Newb-Trap" Talismans without reason.
Totally worth it early on. Definitely NOT later.
Erdtree's Favor is the same way, to a lesser extent.
Dude thank you. I was at like 50 tries with the final boss. Took both soreseals out and first try'd the boss. So yeah, thanks. Totally forgot about the Soreseals making you take more damage.
I constantly waver between admiration of your playstyle (no shields, no bows) and embarrassment (throwing yourself into fights without looking around, rushing through areas without exploring more carefully). But regardless, it's always fun to watch your videos. Ever since you told us about your spider phobia, I am emphatic. But you also know how it is with Schadenfreude: your pain, our gain (sorry). Just one thing: if you don't start using the hand lantern to bring light into the dark, I pray THAT YOUR MESSMER'S HEAD FALLS OFF!" Praise the sun!
When I found Mati, he was doing his first Elden RIng playthrough. Just a small undiscovered guy. But here we are today. Look how far along we are. Almost 50k subscribers. I could tell by your personality and the passion you had for gaming and content that you'd definitely make it. I'm here enjoying your success, and your journey through yet another Fromsoft masterpiece.
>Wearing Radagon Scarseal
>Surprised by getting 2shot.
Classic.
massive respect for not letting the boss die so quickly with your mimic tear, youre a better man than me smh
lol he still used it in the end
Don't worry Mati, your artbook is coming! They had supply issues and they're shipping them as soon as they're available. Happened to a bunch of us.
You're missing two flask potency upgrades (sacred tears) so you'll definitely want to go back to the base game to get those. All sacred tears are found in church locations.
50:20
Look at these jars
*breaks them*
Very cool 😂
Yo Mati i would recommend you take off the radagons soreseal. The extra stats aint worth the extra damage you will take from it since everything hits like a truck in this dlc lmao. Love the vids as always👍🏻😂
Wasn't expecting this just yet. What a treat!! I got my install issues resolved by rebuilding the PS5 database. This DLC is sublime, I hope you enjoy it 👍
You legend! Happy to hear that so far loving it
@matiasgago I'm on ng+++ so I am getting my arse handed to me with some of the strong regular enemies and I have let the occasional profanity out... btw that's some poor luck encountering scorpions so soon 😂😂 Try exploring to the south west of the 2nd Miquella rune before the 1st set of stairs just after the giant arch leading to Belurat, and also south of the first grace you arrived at in the small forest/woods and beyond 👍👍
Mati, you are by far my favorite Souls game TH-camr. You are fun to watch and your pure excitement and positive attitude towards these games and overall is the most fun to watch. Glad your back and can't wait to see you through the rest of the dlc!
Thanks for the hard work. Must be weird talking to a screen. 😝 It’s ok for us because we watch as you play. Seeing your videos is like hanging out with a friend. Keep it up and get some good sponsors!
😮
Yo.. save some Matussy for the rest of us.
Are you a millionaire or something?
@@Hejeval Im broke and in debt 🤣 . I just work hard like my man here.
Brother Idk how I didn't see this till now. Thank you for the generosity you absolutely legend, appreciate you big time ❤️ The talking to the screen def gets easier but always weird af 🤣
I don't know if you eventually figure it out but you need to enable the "mark new items" and "show recent items tab" options in the system settings in order to actually get them. It's actually the first sentence in the tooltip at 3:51 but most people miss it.
I missed it till like 5 hours in lmao
Fun fact: the worm's "hair" attack is actually it puking its digestive system onto you. Several real-world oceanic creatures do this as well.
Finally we'll be able to watch long Elden Ring videos from you man. I'm so excited.
Forgot to put this in my first comment but I was waiting for that scorpion reaction 😂😂😂
Just here to hit a like, wanna play it myself first, absolutely will be catching up with the series when I'm done. Godspeed, tarnished!
it dont get any easier man😭 best of luck to the goat himself❤
Thank you bro im gonna need it 🤣
Bro the Mesmer statue is so cool
Im so grateful bro gonna have this for life!
I also played Elden Ring as my first Fromsoft game, and also went back to play the other games afterwards. And then I found your channel along the way! Enjoy the DLC, man. We're all suffering together.
I've started my FromSoft journey last year and I've been enjoying watching your playthroughs right after I finished each game. But now I'm ahead of you and it feels surreal :D
But I have to say, Mati, you didn't go through the entire FS library and become a souls veteran to end up Mimic tearing these bosses. *You* can do it! As did I. Remember those gargoyles from DS1? You struggled, you had Solaire's sign right outside that fogwall but you took on the challenge and did it yourself! And then you did it for every other tough boss in the trilogy. _Don't give up, skeleton!_
Our Elden Lord has returned!!! Lets go!
I'm so excited to be experiencing my first blind souls journey with you guys. The suffering is real but exploring and finding scudatree fragments is definitely worth it.
Absolutely incredible that they did all this in 2 years.
Hope you have fun, man! The DLC doesn't hold its punches, it's a 10/10 for me. Enjoy!
Love to hear that bro!
Mati uploads are never late, least of all the ER ones. I got chills throughout the unboxing! That was so awesome! The more I played, the more I was amazed how FS is able to put everything they have to offer in a tiny 16GB update! (2:34 Apparently that is too big for your PS5 storage lol. Gotta live on the edge, right? 🤣)
“Ohhh bloodhound fang, become my blade once more”
Waiting soooo long for ur vid man thank god it's finally over I was hyped for yours, zanny and dunkey's vids
Bro, this DLC's dragon boss is the best FromSoft has ever made. I'm so excited to see you fight him
hah he was definitely the most epic and visually pleasing boss ever, but hot damn is he a mess to fight. with the chicken posture cant even go through him 😂
Also mati, i saw u level up the greatsword of solitude to +10 but they're a limited amount of max dragon stones, both smithing and somber so I would suggest not leveling up any more all the way unless you like it/fits with you build. Save a max somber dragon stone for a certain spear from a certain impaler... 😉
@@marsupialsr esp if you use NPC summon for that fight omg the hype from that fight is unreal this DLC is outstanding
@@gmuta1"Curse you Bayle!!" 😂
That voice actor was awesome. But i had to reset that fight often enough that i got annoyed by it lol
Such a fun fight. Even after dying a million times : )
Man... normally I'm not much of a commenter, just kinda lurk and watch the vids, but I remember I found this channel when your Radahn vid popped up on my home page. Subbed a few days later, loved the content. Insane feeling to see you back in Elden Ring, WE'RE BACK BABY. This DLC kicked my ass too, so I'm definitely not coming for you like I was tempted to when you dropped the Maliketh vid lol.
also just a little side note, it's worth reading all the Miquella's Crosses since some of them say different stuff. Hope you keep enjoying the DLC, looking forward to seeing more of this playthrough man. No shame using the mimic or whatever you gotta to have fun. Just as long as you name him John Elden Ring lol
When I first saw the scorpion, my first thought was “Mati’s gonna LOVE this!!” 🤣🤣 great vid as always, can’t wait for the next!
You have no idea how badly I have been waiting for this playthrough ❤
WE ARE SO BACK!
THE GOAT RETURNS TO THE LANDS BETWEEN!!!
I’ve been with you since 200 subs, I think; I’m so happy of how far you’ve come as a content creator and player. I only hope you have as much fun with the DLC as I did.
Tarnished! I see you reached the Shadowlands. I ventured deep into these lands myself. Maybe one day our roads will cross. 😊 You choose the same weapon setup to start like I did. I wish you all the fun in the world. And I love the plan to show us everything that happens. This will be so entertaining, your jaw will drop aaaaa LOT! We so back babyyyy. 🎉
First time being this early! This is going to be dope! can't wait to see you play through the whole DLC. Good luck mate!
This is the play through I was excited to see most
41:00 such a cool Demon's Souls Monumental reference on the stairs
Mati returning to his introduction to the soulsborne genre was everything I needed. Love your commentary/gameplay man!
I've seen a lot of complaints in the community about the DLC boss designs being unfair, but I truly just don't see it (except the final boss though lol). I think these are some if the most interesting and well-designed bosses they've ever made. Excited for you to experience them
WE’RE SO BACK!!! The Elden Lord has returned back to his land.
SO HYPED TO SEE YOU BACK AND PLAYING MATI, CANT WAIT FOR THE UPLOADS MAN. You must bring back the Gfuel and Frosted Flakes for the final boss 🙏🏼
That is some OG shit right there! Appreciate you brother WE ARE SO BACKKK AHHH
I've been waiting for this! Mati i've been watching you since your first Elden ring playthough, i always loved seeing a notification from you, Thank you.
Hell yeah brother welcome back to pain! This is the hardest piece of content I have done in these games but then again I am out of my mind and not using summons. GL!
THE LEGEND IS BACK
THAT'S YOU BUT WHAT AM I?
IT'S TIME!!! FOR THE ADVENTURE TO BEGIN!!!
This is watching someone losing their mind in real time. I’ve never gotten into these games, I enjoy watching someone else suffer instead of me. Stay strong Mati.
Don't remember how many runs with the Blackgaol Knight, but I do remember hating him very much! Dancing Lion was my 1st main boss as well, it was 4-5 hours for me, setting a pretty disconcerting tone for the many bosses to come! The lion can actually do one more thing - quickly alternating from lightning to tornado then to frost in one smooth move set, pretty sick!
I'm not sure, but aren't a couple of those Talismans making you take more damage?
The fact that Dancing Lion is the first boss in the DLC and is like harder than 90 percent of the base game bosses is insane 😂.
Finally on the dlc and getting to watch! Didn't want anything spoiled lol.
I personally love your long form talk through chill out videos. I listen to these all day long at work!
You are the funniest guy, love all your reactions. I love your videos and thanks for not playing the game before and waiting for the final release, waiting for more as always
YES, the Dlc is Fromsoftware's best yet. Try to avoid Spoilers at any cost
No shame in using mimic to beat these dlc bosses if it comes down to it, they’re incredibly tough! I feel like they’re worth giving a try without summons to begin with, but if you’re hitting a brick wall and it’s becoming unfun, no shame in it tbh. It seems a lot of these bosses were designed with summons in mind, they are very hard to do without spending hours and hours on each boss. Anyway, excited to see more and hope you have a great time with the dlc!
Mati turn on the recent tabs and newely aquired items in your settings, very helpful for new gear and checking out item descriptions, saved me tons of time
Hi Mati, it's great having you back playing Elden Ring! ❤
If I may just give you a few tips (spoiler free):
- Always wear the best armors and gears, they can make the difference.
- you missed two or three important items in the dungeon
- also, there are a couple of secret areas with useful stuff
- remember that it's an open world: if a boss is too strong, maybe it's for later
- take it slow, as you would say "it's a marathon, not a sprint"
- and finally, please, please, please, use a lantern 😂
Good luck with the rest of the game, I'm sure you will have fun, because it's amazing!
This dlc is so far the best, most amazing and the most anticipated game add on ever. Im on the final boss and im just going to warn you, the strugle is gonna be real😂
Hope youll enjoy it👍
this is a certified hood classic
First thing I thought when encountering the spider-scorpions was: „Damn Mati is gone HATE those.“
You got this! I believe, in the end spider scorpions will hold no power over you.
Started my run on Sunday, as soon as i saw the scorpion/spiders i immediately thought "Can't wait to see Mati's reaction to this" 🤣🤣
Thought the same thing!
WE ARE SO EFFIN BACK BABYYYYYYY!!! LET PAIN BEGIN!
"this feels easy so far"
*spams corpse piler on everything that moves*
As soon as I played the DLC and got to the scorpion area, the first thing I thought was "oh, poor Mati 😅"
36:21 I'm glad that I'm not the only one who made the Demi Moore joke the first time I saw Moore ahahah
God of war next part??
Yes let the pain begin
Love your videos dude reminds me of the walkthroughs and let’s plays I grew up on:)
trick to defeating big fire boy : hit him till he staggers when he staggers and falls to ground one riposte will takelike 70 -80 % of his health you will not make good damage to his leg no matter how much you level up
WERE SO BACK!!
I’m so excited to watch your playthrough! I started by watching your Elden Ring and Bloodborne ones, and it’s been awesome to see both you and your community grow!
Been here since the start of the ds3 series and all of your videos are so fun to watch and its so much fun to watch someone else enjoy a game you loved!
YESSSSS!!!!!! Haven’t stopped playing it since I got home Monday. Godspeed 🫡
Thats what im talking about!!
WE ARE SO INCREDIBLY BACK
les gooo
w mmeiru
The moment I saw that spider-scorpion, my first thought was "Mati's gonna love this one." 😭😭
Yay I’ve been waiting for your playthrough! So excited
YES! HELL YEAH!! COME ON BABY, COME ON!! - Jesse Pinkman
SCIENCE BITCH!
lets fucking go
Great finale! So awesome to see you back in Elden Ring. This DLC is no joke (I’m on the final boss now ). Don’t sweat using the mimic or any tools at your disposal. Melania isn’t the top end difficulty in this one- she’s more like the standard.
Black Gaol Knight is humbling af. Good job dude
HYPE HYPE HYPE
No Mimic tear Matty.😣
You might want to unequip that soreseal. While it gives you stat boost it also increase the damage you take and in the dlc it is already high as you felt it.
37:42 lov that reaction same as mine XD
Some defensive options should help with the dlc.
Dragoncrest Shield Talisman (17% Physical Dmg Negation)
Ritual Shield Talisman (reduces damage taken by 30% when HP is at maximum)
Great Jar's Arsenal (raises maximum Equip Load by 19%) can help with wearing heavy armor.
Also wearing armor with dmg high resistances (like Radahn's Armor Set) also helps!
You can use Opaline Bubble Tear (Increases all damage negation types by 90% for 3 minutes or until hit) and Opaline Hardtear (Increases all damage negation types by 15% for 3 minutes) on your Wonderous Physick for even more dmg negation.
and ofc, don't forget to upgrade your Scadutree Blessing with Scadutree Fragments!
I wish you the best of luck with the DLC, it slaps hard (literally). It's really nice to see how far you've come in those games.
