Asmongold Playing Elden Ring | Part #1

[@zeds-asmongoldvods2908]

WSup boys! Zeds here, I edited the beginning and skiped the setup configuration to get to character creation :) This is the first vod of the channel and I would like to thanks Asmongold for all his amazing content and all the community! Thanks for watching!

He was given the opportunity to play-test prior to the official launch. The play-test was like 2-4 weeks before the official launch if I recall correctly. During that play-test he died a lot to the tree sentinel for at least an hour or two. He live-streamed the play-test on his main twitch channel and had 50K-100K viewers. It was shortly after his return to his main channel after his long hiatus.

[@ThwipThwipBoom]

The second I beat it and was going for my second playthrough update 9.5 for ps4 bricked my cosole. That being said you are a great alternative to playing the game, your playthrough is helarious.

[@whatthefleeb]

Buying this game on launch was the worst purchase of my life (had never played a Souls-level game before, more of an Elder Scrolls/Kingdoms of Amalur kinda guy). Loved the lore behind it and how it looked, so picked it up, but was immediately smacked down time after time. I played like 4 hours, didn't get past the big troll guy at the entrance of the first castle/fortress thing, and just rage quit, haha. Very quickly learned that I do not enjoy games this difficult, but I do enjoy watching other people who are good at games play them.

Hey at least you tried, thats a W in my book

[@died4u525]

Hey, if you didn't try Elden Ring again or if you did but need help I suggest you check out an awesome walkthrough by fightincowboy. I've never played a souls game before and never wanted to but Elden Ring looked cool so I got it. I wouldn't have gotten very far if I didn't follow fightincowboy. His walkthrough is super detailed and he takes you around the map to get things that makes it easier. And he shows you a farm so you can get upgrades if you want. But the main thing is that he shows you how to beat bosses and tells you about different weapons. You get an amazing weapon for strength/dexterity (aka quality) build. You can upgrade it really early which makes it so much easier. He also goes around getting weapons and incantations, etc for other types of builds. So if you need help with Elden Ring I highly suggest his walkthrough. It's a platinum walkthrough btw so you get everything for every trophy/achievement in the game. I'm actually enjoying the game and I wouldn't be without that walkthrough. Check it out!

[@guzo116]

Asmon playing on keyboard is half the issue he had with controls, also watching him struggle for however long he did with figuring out pouches only to give up was torture, he opened it immediately after and I thought it was gonna click for him but apparently not. The lock on complaining while he’s using a mouse for view controls had me fuming.

[@RopeDrink]

Joe Soap: "Elden Ring is too hard!" Asmongold: Takes hours to use the Pouch or Weapon Arts, took forever to learn how to swing on the other side of Torrent, didn't know that two-handing weapons reduces their requirements, left 20 metric tonnes of loot laying around on the floor, butchered his build, didn't bother buying crafting items (etc), and still had fun dunking the game with basic Halberd attacks. Truthfully, all you need are decent fundamentals to do well in these games (eg. patience, learning enemy mechanics, punishes, etc).

[@GuidedByCompassion]

Asmon seems to hate playing casters in Elden Ring. Joke's on him because a good caster in PvP is actually a nightmare to face. Bad caster players tend to spam only 1 spell, and don't seem to change up their playstyle even when the opponent is simply rolling everything and punishing. Good casters start with a spell to make you roll, and then use a different spell after to catch the opponent's roll. One of my favorite combos is a running Carian Slicer into Gavel of Haima into Unendurable Frenzy. If someone rolls the Slicer or gets staggered by it, they're very likely to be put in the blender and literally spell combo'd to death. The way to avoid getting combo'd is actually a smart roll away, and a swift punish after the Gavel. Fortunately for the caster, Carian Slicer is a very low-commitment spell, and is very hard to punish after the target rolls it if the caster is ready to evade after a wiff.

[@jmc2830]

i love how he's so excited and chat is losing their mind about killing the tutorial enemies. then he goes on to walk into the first dungeon within the first area and acted like he was walking through literal hell. so hit and miss with this content. some times, it's a good time. others, it's just a ego stroking session with tips.
