It happened to me with Godskin Duo, I literally struggled against them more than i did with Malenia, it’s weird and i still don’t know why i had a hard time with that boss more than effing Malenia 😂
That dragonkin soldier boss is a really good example of how not using the lock-on for some bosses can be really useful. If you’re having trouble hitting a boss like that, just don’t lock on and aim your attacks with the left stick.

Quick tip, ive noticed you run past items or dont pick up loot from enemies, when you probably should. Crafting materials and dropped equipment from enemies can be super useful. Also, almost every merchant sells a Note, which when bought gives tips or info on special items or mechanics, so definitely buy those. Also also, there is a difference between slashing, pierce and strike damage, some enemies are hella tough to kill with slashing, where as a strike weapon, like a mace, demolishes them. Same goes with other resistances, so just, keep that in mind ig. Im just gonna edit this comment rather than make a new one. When you were fighting the dragonkin, you locked onto its leg the entire fight, you can change where you lock on, on pc it's by scrolling dunno bout controller, but also, some fights might be easier when you are NOT locked onto the enemy, and just free aim your hits. Also you're doing jump attacks kinda wrong, use a heavy attack there. Last tip, in your inventory, i think in the last tab, the game keeps all tutorial mesaages as items, so read through those again if you're confuses by a mechanic

The Marika's Scarseal increases your stats related to mage builds (Mind, Faith, Int and Arcane). There's also a version based on melee builds (Vigor, Endurance, Strength and Dex), which is very useful for you. These talismans only makes you take 10% more damage while getting +3 in every of those stats, which is equal to 12 levels. And you get Great Runes from the important bosses, like Godrick, the one you killed
You can find rune arcs in some merchant shops, scattered throughout the world, there are a few for sale at roundtable hold, and you can infinitely farm them by invading other players and killing them :D
To farm rune arcs, a way is invading players and killing the host, or you can be summoned by the host to help them beat the area's boss, which also gets you a rune arc, or killing an invading player as a hunter works too.

Do not be afraid of trying new weapons, especially in the beginning. Most weapons have different attacks so try different types and pick the one with the moveset that has the best feeling. Love the videos man, keep going!!
Please read the item descriptions if you want to learn about the lore of Elden Ring. Press X (i think it's X on x-box controllers) while on an item in the menu to see its detailed description.
You get great runes by killing demigods, those are powerful bosses at the end of major areas, Godrick is one of them. After you defeat a demigod you need to go to the divine tower of that area to activate the great rune. Godrick’s great rune is considered the best in the game, it increases all of your stats by 5
A couple of tips; 1) You can level up your summons. 2) The only way to farm Rune Arks is to *invade* *Edit* You can also be summoned in as a co-op player and help the host beat a boss.
2) The only way to farm Rune Arks is to invade - This is incorrect. You can farm killing rats as they drop rune arcs and golden runes. Just like how they drop humanity in dark souls 1.
I'm glad you are having a good time with this game. Just remember to not let people's opinions make you not have fun. So many people rely on looking things up in this game, there are many wiki and pdf that help. Nothing is common knowledge in these games. Don't feel bad for using spirits in this game either. It's a core fundamental in the game and not everyone is looking for the extra challenge. But really fun to watch I can't wait to see more!
That Dragonkin Soldier drops one of the best weapons you could get till late-game, and even then it still packs quite a punch, especially with anywhere with a lot of water and/or rain like Liurnia and Dragonbarrow, or any swamp really. Oh and on really big bosses locking onto them can actually make it harder than free-aiming with the sticks as a melee build.
I don't know if anyone's told you this yet but all normal enemies have a small chance of spawning with gold glowing eyes. Killing one of these enemies rewards 5x its normal rune drop, so its usually worthwhile to kill them if you see them! Also try jumping around on structures, there's lots of hidden pathways both above and below most buildings. Keep up the great content!
In the beast sanctum you can trade deathroots for spells. You find deathroots in major dungeons and there are 3 in Limgrave so just explore a little and come back to him
Siofra River is a bit tougher than Limgrave, good job on Ancestor Spirit and Dragonkin! One comment you made during the first fight did remind me of something. If you notice your spirits ashes starting to seem weaker, that's because they can be upgraded, so unupgraded spirit ashes will start to perform worse as you get into harder areas of the game. The character who handles this is in the shack along the path leading up to Stormveil, but you have to progress her questline a bit. She needs a certain item that you'll find on one of the side paths in Stormveil Castle. After you give it to her, she'll move to the Roundtable Hold. You'll be able to figure it out from there. Unfortunately there aren't many good ways to farm rune arcs other than helping other players in co-op or invading other worlds for PvP. Some merchants sell them, a limited number are scattered around the map, and they have a low chance to drop from killing giant rats, but that's about it. Lastly, the seal you picked up in Stormveil is a class of weapon used for casting incantations, which are spells that mostly rely on Faith to use. If you go a little further down that tunnel you found it in, there's a matching prayerbook to pick up. Prayerbooks can be given to either the Brother Corhyn in the Roundtable Hold, or to another character you'll meet later to unlock new incantations. That's all I can think of at the moment. Great vid as always, can definitely see the improvement with your gameplay! Hope this info helps.
A major advice that would give is: PATIENCE. Don't rush a fight, watch the moves, learn, breath, attack when you see a opening, repeat. I know it's easier said than done, but this is going to get you far. And don't worry, at your level, Siofra is a spike in difficulty.
Make sure to remember that Faith is used for incantations and not sorceries. That means you need a seal to cast incantations and not a staff. You already have a seal: the godslayer seal you got in stormveil castle.
As a long time souls fan, and Elden Ring of course, it warms my heart seeing how excited you get from killing bosses for the first time and seeing new locations. Funny af to!
If you want a good summon, go back to the weeping peninsula, where you fought the tree avatar and look for a catacomb on the hill that the tree stands on, the easiest way to find it is to go to the grace in the church right in front of the tree (or above it, if you look at the map), exit and go straight toward the tree, don't follow the path, just go straight, you'll find the catacomb along the wall
Nah..that's just playstyle preference. I didn't even use any shield primarily on my 1st playthrough except when i was parrying using small shield, just got good enough at dodge rolling timing over time. It took quite a while to be comfortable, but it's totally worth it for me
Yes a new video!! Please don’t forget to go to the Forelorn Hound Evergaol in the southern part of Limgrave. Do the boss battle and get one of the best weapons in the game, Bloodhound’s Fang! 🙏💪
As far as I know, it is pronounced sheef-RAH Also, that gargoyle you attempted to fight, is literally the strongest version of the gargoyles in the entire game haha
It always makes my day when you upload. Also, going down the Siofra river well lift for the first time and seeing a beautiful wide open underground area has to be one of the coolest moments in gaming, for me at least, so I love watching other people experience it for the first time
Let’s go! You don’t have to fight that right now 😂 The Demi humans are a decent summons with certain bosses, at night(eyes will be red) and leveled up The great runes tell you which tower you need to visit to activate it The gold pickled fowl foot gives you a percentage of extra runes when you kill an enemy, they only last a short time so try to wait until your close to killing them, try to save for bigger bosses for a better payout.
yeah so when you go to farm those rats at castle morn, use the gold pickled fowl foot for extra runes anyways, also i think some of the npc's sell the rune arcs too
If you are gonna go faith you should look for a seal instead of a staff. Staff is for intelligence builds. You can look up a seal you'd like or there's a decent but basic one that some merchants sell early on, I forget which sell them tho
Some handful tips, Sometimes dodge INTO attacks, (front rolls), its useful if you want to immediately attack something Definitely try out different weapons you get, you’ll like what they have instore for you sometimes Same goes for ashes of war. Dont feel discouraged if you cannot immediately beat bosses, just keep tryin or come back later.
If you see this invaders drop very good weapons and the one in agil lake give insane weapons. You can also trade boss souls for weapons You can upgrade your spirits with ghost glovewart (mimic is my fav) And weapons with smithing stones
Since you like the ranged ones there is a spirit summon that just stays in place 100% of the time called latenna in the new lake area you got to last episode, although you can upgrade all the ashes in the roundtable so the melee ones get better too
Also, add to your note Fringefolk Hero's Grave. It's the 1st fog wall after you finished the tutorial area that needs 2 stonesword keys to access. There's a spirit summon there you'll get after defeating the boss of the area. All I can say is it's *top 5* summon in the game, it carried me, like, 70% of the game during my 1st playthrough. Definitely OP summon for melee playstyle
I like your hat! Also, faith builds use seals like the godslayer seal you got at stormveil, not staffs. The blackflame prayerbook in the chest next to it can be given to some NPCs like Cohryn (in the roundtable hold) who will then sell you some blackflame incantations, which are very powerful.
BRUH you already have the Faith magic item. The Godslayer Seal you got is one of them. Hope you also grabbed the black flame incantation when you got the seal, cause that's a nice spell that matches the item.
If you find death root. Bring it to that guy in the Sanctum Also, I highly suggest talking to the Rodrika at the round table. She'll be by the fire place. Also, the blacksmith might have something to say about her too 😉 Also, remember to sit at sites of grace once you exhaust dialogue
A good way to know if an enemy has dropped an item is seeing a white mist / particle effect emit from them once defeated, that indicates that they've dropped something.
yo man, seeing you do a faith/dex build in the future would be sick. faith defo has the coolest shit, you can become a literal firebender or wield lightning like a fking badass, add in katanas and its the coolest build for me
Rune arcs can be purchased from many different merchants, although in limited quantities. They also can be found as loot in the environment, and are rarely dropped by rats.
3:05 "Imma leave him alone, he seems like he doesn't wanna be bothered" Me pounding on the fog gate inside Malenia's boss room yelling "LET ME OUT, I AIN'T TRYNA MESS WITH HER TREE"
Another great video! Tho ive seen you run past some of the enemies wayyy to often. You don't have to fight all of them but you should fight and kill a new enemy atleast once, some have surprisingly good movesets
you can also level up your summons at the roundtable. early in the game you talked to a girl in a shed with a red a hood and she gives you a jellyfish summon. when shes at the roundtable, you can upgrade your summons after a few steps involving her
A little tip, Items have simple description, and detailed decription, you can swich between them in inventory. You can figure out almost anything if you remember to check on the items as you get them.
A fun Ash Of War I like is Flaming Strike, it creates a short range horizontal line of fire in front of you, But the cool part is if you do a heavy strike into it, your sword catches fire for a little while. Paired with a weapon that has a default build up (bleed, poison, etc.) its useful to add fire as well
11:25 you can acquire an Unsheathe Ash of War in the south-eastern part of Agheel Lake back in Limgrave. That lets you keep the skill on your Uchigatana while changing the scaling (or it lets you put Unsheathe on a different katana that doesn't have Unsheathe by default). Might not matter much now, but later in the game Keen will help your weapon scale much better with Dex.
Staff for sorceries (intelligence), seals for incantations (faith). There are some that require both stats but the Finger Maiden Husks in the roundtable hold will hook you up with the Finger Seal and as for a staff I think you can hit up the Merchant you find at the second site of grace you discovered in Liurnia. Or due east from the aforementioned site of grace, you can find a battlefield with a small damaged tower overlooking it, and you’ll find a staff called the Carian Glintblade Staff, be wary of all the mages and phantom warriors though.
Love these videos can't wait for the next one . I know I said this before on a previous video, but for one the key story lines back where the father of the blind girl sat in the castle there should be an item
FYI you can use grave glovewart, an item in game similar to smithing stones to level up your demi humans. Go and talk to the lady in storm hill shack if she still has any dialogue options left and then she should show up in the round table hold. Do all of her dialogue options there and run back and forth between her and the blacksmith to unlock her spirit upgrading process. This should make a lot of content you want to use summons on in the game much easier!
There are some rune arcs from the twin sisters - the merchant at the round table hold - and, as many people mentioned, at some of the merchants and in random places around the world. Unironically you can also farm them from freaking RATS. One of the best places is at castle Morne: there's the grace at the island before the boss (not the boss grace, the one after you go down the tower), that is close by a room with four rats where you fell off to get there, you can use that spot for rune arc farming. They are not that common though, so it takes a lot of ratatouille to accumulate a decent amount. Also, another suggestion since you are starting to suffer with damage taken and received: keep in mind your damage scales with your weapon a lot faster than with skill points, so it is important to not forget to level up your weapon and to use a significant part of the skill points you get from your character levels on vigor rather than damage stats, so you don't get one shot by the next bosses you will find (hence the "level vigor" meme: because it works!).
I think they just wanted to see your first sight reaction to the underground. It’s perfectly fine to come back later, I’ve had to do that plenty of times.
In Caelid there are two really good Katana's in Moonveil and the Meteoric Ore Blade. One is dropped by a dungeon boss the other is found in a chest, one is in a ruin nearby a church on the lower left hand side of Caelid and the other is in a Tunnel.
here is a quick run down on magic: staffs allow you to cast intelligence spells which you equip at a sight of grace seals allow you to do the same things but with faith spells
There are a few samurai weapons you can try to find, there is another uchigatana on a catacombs on the north of limgrave, a small knife called wazikashi on a prison on the area called caelid, and the naginata, a samurai spear, is in a cave on caelid, there are a few caves in limgrave you missed, you might wanna explore more, also use the bow more, the fire arrows can make the barrels explode, this way you can easily cheese the birds on stormveil castle
Those stonesword key statues can use one or two keys, depends on how they look. If it's two imps and there isn't already a visible key in it then they need two. Also yeah, I love the uchi, that ash of war is literally one of the best in the game imo, it's so strong.
There is an archer spirit ash that actually CANT move. SO if that becomes a concern, seek her out. She also has absurd range. You can just plop her down in a corner somewhere and then make sure she doesn't draw the attention of the boss, and you're good.
My best advice for killing enemies cause I’m seeing people point out you running past them is kill every new enemy at least once. We all run past people we’ve killed but at least kill all new foes once (if you can) cause you don’t wanna be under leveled in the second half of the game.
Merchants (and all trading NPCs) will buy golden runes at the same value that you get from using them, which makes selling them a quicker option whenever you can.
I think before you move on from Limgrave you should focus on meeting all the NPC's! Without spoilers there are: -Someone camping south of where you stated the game -Three NPC's on the path east in Stormhill (east from the castle entrance) -A strange noise in a ruins near Soifra entrance -The guy you rescued from the tree told you about a cave near the beach! -Quite a few people have returned to Round Table
I think regarding Castle Morne, they were referring to you not acknowledging that you picked up a greatsword weapon from the boss. The spirit ashes can be upgraded at the roundtable hold to make them better, and different spirits are going to be better than others for certain fights. The ones you have currently are some of the weakest available, though the wolves and demihumans can be decent when upgraded. If you run past everything you're not going to be able to level up and increase stats (via collecting runes), and you'll miss gear and skill drops. You won't have an easy time if you try to go beyond Limgrave and don't level a little and upgrade your gear. You don't have the required stats for the shield you're using (see the red X on it's icon when you pull it out?) When an enemy is down and their 'critical' spot is glowing, you need to do a regular attack - you're usually too far away from the spot, or you use the special attack rather than a regular. :)
Another tip, jumps are a different form of dodge, they can completely avoid some attacks and they’re faster than rolls and you can attack while doing it

Do not be afraid of trying new weapons, especially in the beginning. Most weapons have different attacks so try different types and pick the one with the moveset that has the best feeling. Love the videos man, keep going!!
Babe wake up, new Davobands Elden Ring video dropped
The rats drop rune arcs sometimes.
Please read the item descriptions if you want to learn about the lore of Elden Ring. Press X (i think it's X on x-box controllers) while on an item in the menu to see its detailed description.
You get great runes by killing demigods, those are powerful bosses at the end of major areas, Godrick is one of them. After you defeat a demigod you need to go to the divine tower of that area to activate the great rune. Godrick’s great rune is considered the best in the game, it increases all of your stats by 5
A couple of tips;
1) You can level up your summons.
2) The only way to farm Rune Arks is to *invade*
*Edit*
You can also be summoned in as a co-op player and help the host beat a boss.
...or play normal PvE multiplayer and help the host kill a boss.
You can actually farm giant rats to get them
1st tip bad, dont neеd, tip for noobs
2) The only way to farm Rune Arks is to invade - This is incorrect. You can farm killing rats as they drop rune arcs and golden runes. Just like how they drop humanity in dark souls 1.
@husleman yes I know. I'm just trying to encourage the pvp aspect of the game
I'm glad you are having a good time with this game. Just remember to not let people's opinions make you not have fun. So many people rely on looking things up in this game, there are many wiki and pdf that help. Nothing is common knowledge in these games. Don't feel bad for using spirits in this game either. It's a core fundamental in the game and not everyone is looking for the extra challenge. But really fun to watch I can't wait to see more!
honestly bro you deserve so much more subscribers and views. your videos have been so fun and entertaining to watch.
I appreciate that!
I love the little edits on this video, they crack me up😂
That Dragonkin Soldier drops one of the best weapons you could get till late-game, and even then it still packs quite a punch, especially with anywhere with a lot of water and/or rain like Liurnia and Dragonbarrow, or any swamp really. Oh and on really big bosses locking onto them can actually make it harder than free-aiming with the sticks as a melee build.
LETS GO been waiting for another episode brother, this is easily the most entertaining elden ring series ive watched.. Keep it up 👍 💯
He’s back 🕺
There’s so much peak in store for you gang, I been replaying the game too after 2 years. DLC gonna be crazy too.
YESSS i was waiting for this, love the serie and eager to see you face the later big boss
I don't know if anyone's told you this yet but all normal enemies have a small chance of spawning with gold glowing eyes. Killing one of these enemies rewards 5x its normal rune drop, so its usually worthwhile to kill them if you see them! Also try jumping around on structures, there's lots of hidden pathways both above and below most buildings. Keep up the great content!
I got almost 600 hours in elden ring and I didnt even know that about the eyes. I wondered why their eyes were glowing, but never looked into it.
In the beast sanctum you can trade deathroots for spells. You find deathroots in major dungeons and there are 3 in Limgrave so just explore a little and come back to him
Stuff like this keeps proving to me just how effective it is, in any game, to be able to hit an enemy at long range.
Siofra River is a bit tougher than Limgrave, good job on Ancestor Spirit and Dragonkin! One comment you made during the first fight did remind me of something. If you notice your spirits ashes starting to seem weaker, that's because they can be upgraded, so unupgraded spirit ashes will start to perform worse as you get into harder areas of the game.
The character who handles this is in the shack along the path leading up to Stormveil, but you have to progress her questline a bit. She needs a certain item that you'll find on one of the side paths in Stormveil Castle. After you give it to her, she'll move to the Roundtable Hold. You'll be able to figure it out from there.
Unfortunately there aren't many good ways to farm rune arcs other than helping other players in co-op or invading other worlds for PvP. Some merchants sell them, a limited number are scattered around the map, and they have a low chance to drop from killing giant rats, but that's about it.
Lastly, the seal you picked up in Stormveil is a class of weapon used for casting incantations, which are spells that mostly rely on Faith to use. If you go a little further down that tunnel you found it in, there's a matching prayerbook to pick up. Prayerbooks can be given to either the Brother Corhyn in the Roundtable Hold, or to another character you'll meet later to unlock new incantations.
That's all I can think of at the moment. Great vid as always, can definitely see the improvement with your gameplay! Hope this info helps.
A major advice that would give is: PATIENCE.
Don't rush a fight, watch the moves, learn, breath, attack when you see a opening, repeat. I know it's easier said than done, but this is going to get you far.
And don't worry, at your level, Siofra is a spike in difficulty.
Make sure to remember that Faith is used for incantations and not sorceries. That means you need a seal to cast incantations and not a staff. You already have a seal: the godslayer seal you got in stormveil castle.
As a long time souls fan, and Elden Ring of course, it warms my heart seeing how excited you get from killing bosses for the first time and seeing new locations. Funny af to!
If you want a good summon, go back to the weeping peninsula, where you fought the tree avatar and look for a catacomb on the hill that the tree stands on, the easiest way to find it is to go to the grace in the church right in front of the tree (or above it, if you look at the map), exit and go straight toward the tree, don't follow the path, just go straight, you'll find the catacomb along the wall
Also, use your shield, find a shield that deflects 100 physical damage and u won't take any damage while holding it up
I mean that’s one place style but it’s definitely not necessary
Nah..that's just playstyle preference. I didn't even use any shield primarily on my 1st playthrough except when i was parrying using small shield, just got good enough at dodge rolling timing over time. It took quite a while to be comfortable, but it's totally worth it for me
Thanks for the tip brother
@@davobands not really a tip but a playstyle preference, I personally hate playing with shields but you can try it out
you can find great some rune arcs from randomly exploring places but its mainly from multiplayer PVP or PVE
Yes a new video!! Please don’t forget to go to the Forelorn Hound Evergaol in the southern part of Limgrave. Do the boss battle and get one of the best weapons in the game, Bloodhound’s Fang! 🙏💪
We back baby. thanks for giving me something to watch today
Hell yeah! New vid from Davo less goooo
Bro you are underrated, first youtuber I've subbed to in a long time.
As far as I know, it is pronounced sheef-RAH
Also, that gargoyle you attempted to fight, is literally the strongest version of the gargoyles in the entire game haha
It always makes my day when you upload. Also, going down the Siofra river well lift for the first time and seeing a beautiful wide open underground area has to be one of the coolest moments in gaming, for me at least, so I love watching other people experience it for the first time
Let’s go!
You don’t have to fight that right now 😂
The Demi humans are a decent summons with certain bosses, at night(eyes will be red) and leveled up
The great runes tell you which tower you need to visit to activate it
The gold pickled fowl foot gives you a percentage of extra runes when you kill an enemy, they only last a short time so try to wait until your close to killing them, try to save for bigger bosses for a better payout.
yeah so when you go to farm those rats at castle morn, use the gold pickled fowl foot for extra runes anyways, also i think some of the npc's sell the rune arcs too
If you are gonna go faith you should look for a seal instead of a staff. Staff is for intelligence builds. You can look up a seal you'd like or there's a decent but basic one that some merchants sell early on, I forget which sell them tho
You better hurry up and make another one! i can binge this all day.
41:05 Yeah... No one ever really "agrees" to go to Caelid... but we're all gonna have to eventually.
Some handful tips,
Sometimes dodge INTO attacks, (front rolls), its useful if you want to immediately attack something
Definitely try out different weapons you get, you’ll like what they have instore for you sometimes
Same goes for ashes of war.
Dont feel discouraged if you cannot immediately beat bosses, just keep tryin or come back later.
Most underated youtuber 🙏 bro should have a million subs
The Intro is already a banger😂❤
A tip to boost your enjoyment even more is to read the remembrances that you get, its a great way to understand the lore
If you see this invaders drop very good weapons and the one in agil lake give insane weapons. You can also trade boss souls for weapons
You can upgrade your spirits with ghost glovewart (mimic is my fav)
And weapons with smithing stones
Since you like the ranged ones there is a spirit summon that just stays in place 100% of the time called latenna in the new lake area you got to last episode, although you can upgrade all the ashes in the roundtable so the melee ones get better too
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel, dude. You get me through my crappy job.
Also, add to your note Fringefolk Hero's Grave. It's the 1st fog wall after you finished the tutorial area that needs 2 stonesword keys to access. There's a spirit summon there you'll get after defeating the boss of the area. All I can say is it's *top 5* summon in the game, it carried me, like, 70% of the game during my 1st playthrough. Definitely OP summon for melee playstyle
I like your hat!
Also, faith builds use seals like the godslayer seal you got at stormveil, not staffs. The blackflame prayerbook in the chest next to it can be given to some NPCs like Cohryn (in the roundtable hold) who will then sell you some blackflame incantations, which are very powerful.
BRUH you already have the Faith magic item. The Godslayer Seal you got is one of them. Hope you also grabbed the black flame incantation when you got the seal, cause that's a nice spell that matches the item.
If you find death root. Bring it to that guy in the Sanctum
Also, I highly suggest talking to the Rodrika at the round table. She'll be by the fire place.
Also, the blacksmith might have something to say about her too 😉
Also, remember to sit at sites of grace once you exhaust dialogue
A good way to know if an enemy has dropped an item is seeing a white mist / particle effect emit from them once defeated, that indicates that they've dropped something.
yo man, seeing you do a faith/dex build in the future would be sick. faith defo has the coolest shit, you can become a literal firebender or wield lightning like a fking badass, add in katanas and its the coolest build for me
Rune arcs can be purchased from many different merchants, although in limited quantities. They also can be found as loot in the environment, and are rarely dropped by rats.
Im deadass enjoying this series so bad, keep it up bro
3:05 "Imma leave him alone, he seems like he doesn't wanna be bothered"
Me pounding on the fog gate inside Malenia's boss room yelling "LET ME OUT, I AIN'T TRYNA MESS WITH HER TREE"
I absolutely love your content man! Keep up the awesome work
Another great video!
Tho ive seen you run past some of the enemies wayyy to often. You don't have to fight all of them but you should fight and kill a new enemy atleast once, some have surprisingly good movesets
you can also level up your summons at the roundtable. early in the game you talked to a girl in a shed with a red a hood and she gives you a jellyfish summon. when shes at the roundtable, you can upgrade your summons after a few steps involving her
The simplest way to farm rune arcs is to do multiplayer and help other players fight bosses
(use the yellow stick thing in your inventory)
A little tip, Items have simple description, and detailed decription, you can swich between them in inventory. You can figure out almost anything if you remember to check on the items as you get them.
A fun Ash Of War I like is Flaming Strike, it creates a short range horizontal line of fire in front of you,
But the cool part is if you do a heavy strike into it, your sword catches fire for a little while.
Paired with a weapon that has a default build up (bleed, poison, etc.) its useful to add fire as well
I legit get excited whenever I see you upload, and that don't really happen to any other creator.
Video just dropped an hour ago, I log on and see you out with another banger. Congrats man.
11:25 you can acquire an Unsheathe Ash of War in the south-eastern part of Agheel Lake back in Limgrave. That lets you keep the skill on your Uchigatana while changing the scaling (or it lets you put Unsheathe on a different katana that doesn't have Unsheathe by default). Might not matter much now, but later in the game Keen will help your weapon scale much better with Dex.
I’m glad you picked up the samurai as your first class, it’s a really powerful class and good for new comers.
Staff for sorceries (intelligence), seals for incantations (faith). There are some that require both stats but the Finger Maiden Husks in the roundtable hold will hook you up with the Finger Seal and as for a staff I think you can hit up the Merchant you find at the second site of grace you discovered in Liurnia. Or due east from the aforementioned site of grace, you can find a battlefield with a small damaged tower overlooking it, and you’ll find a staff called the Carian Glintblade Staff, be wary of all the mages and phantom warriors though.
Love these videos can't wait for the next one . I know I said this before on a previous video, but for one the key story lines back where the father of the blind girl sat in the castle there should be an item
FYI you can use grave glovewart, an item in game similar to smithing stones to level up your demi humans. Go and talk to the lady in storm hill shack if she still has any dialogue options left and then she should show up in the round table hold. Do all of her dialogue options there and run back and forth between her and the blacksmith to unlock her spirit upgrading process. This should make a lot of content you want to use summons on in the game much easier!
There are some rune arcs from the twin sisters - the merchant at the round table hold - and, as many people mentioned, at some of the merchants and in random places around the world. Unironically you can also farm them from freaking RATS. One of the best places is at castle Morne: there's the grace at the island before the boss (not the boss grace, the one after you go down the tower), that is close by a room with four rats where you fell off to get there, you can use that spot for rune arc farming. They are not that common though, so it takes a lot of ratatouille to accumulate a decent amount. Also, another suggestion since you are starting to suffer with damage taken and received: keep in mind your damage scales with your weapon a lot faster than with skill points, so it is important to not forget to level up your weapon and to use a significant part of the skill points you get from your character levels on vigor rather than damage stats, so you don't get one shot by the next bosses you will find (hence the "level vigor" meme: because it works!).
I honestly love your videos dude! Never stop making them!!
I think they just wanted to see your first sight reaction to the underground. It’s perfectly fine to come back later, I’ve had to do that plenty of times.
In Caelid there are two really good Katana's in Moonveil and the Meteoric Ore Blade. One is dropped by a dungeon boss the other is found in a chest, one is in a ruin nearby a church on the lower left hand side of Caelid and the other is in a Tunnel.
here is a quick run down on magic: staffs allow you to cast intelligence spells which you equip at a sight of grace seals allow you to do the same things but with faith spells
There are a few samurai weapons you can try to find, there is another uchigatana on a catacombs on the north of limgrave, a small knife called wazikashi on a prison on the area called caelid, and the naginata, a samurai spear, is in a cave on caelid, there are a few caves in limgrave you missed, you might wanna explore more, also use the bow more, the fire arrows can make the barrels explode, this way you can easily cheese the birds on stormveil castle
Thank you for not mentioning… well, you know
jellyfish is one of my favorite summons, its ranged, tanky, does a suprising amount of poise damage and can also poison the boss
Those stonesword key statues can use one or two keys, depends on how they look. If it's two imps and there isn't already a visible key in it then they need two.
Also yeah, I love the uchi, that ash of war is literally one of the best in the game imo, it's so strong.
Bro your content is so good bro, you deserve more subs
babe wake up, davobands postet a new elden ring videoooo!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩
You should go to those blue circles on the map;)
Also you need to try the dragon halberd is a fun weapon
There is an archer spirit ash that actually CANT move. SO if that becomes a concern, seek her out.
She also has absurd range. You can just plop her down in a corner somewhere and then make sure she doesn't draw the attention of the boss, and you're good.
My best advice for killing enemies cause I’m seeing people point out you running past them is kill every new enemy at least once. We all run past people we’ve killed but at least kill all new foes once (if you can) cause you don’t wanna be under leveled in the second half of the game.
Merchants (and all trading NPCs) will buy golden runes at the same value that you get from using them, which makes selling them a quicker option whenever you can.
I think before you move on from Limgrave you should focus on meeting all the NPC's!
Without spoilers there are:
-Someone camping south of where you stated the game
-Three NPC's on the path east in Stormhill (east from the castle entrance)
-A strange noise in a ruins near Soifra entrance
-The guy you rescued from the tree told you about a cave near the beach!
-Quite a few people have returned to Round Table
I think regarding Castle Morne, they were referring to you not acknowledging that you picked up a greatsword weapon from the boss.
The spirit ashes can be upgraded at the roundtable hold to make them better, and different spirits are going to be better than others for certain fights. The ones you have currently are some of the weakest available, though the wolves and demihumans can be decent when upgraded.
If you run past everything you're not going to be able to level up and increase stats (via collecting runes), and you'll miss gear and skill drops. You won't have an easy time if you try to go beyond Limgrave and don't level a little and upgrade your gear.
You don't have the required stats for the shield you're using (see the red X on it's icon when you pull it out?)
When an enemy is down and their 'critical' spot is glowing, you need to do a regular attack - you're usually too far away from the spot, or you use the special attack rather than a regular. :)
Another tip, jumps are a different form of dodge, they can completely avoid some attacks and they’re faster than rolls and you can attack while doing it
