ELDEN RING - FightinCowboy: Beginner's Guide to PvP

[@FigaroNewton]

I remember watching Cowboy's guide to help with 100% DS1. Absolutely incredible to see him being posted on Bandai's channel. Much love!

[@duntool3250]

That same playthrough is what got me into thr souls games in the first place

[@Boneheaded0]

Same with dark souls 3 too

[@PepeSilvia-nm8dh]

@@Boneheaded0something about his voice/personality I just had to listen to him constantly in the background, in DS1, 2, & 3 and all over again 😂😂

[@ky00j1n6]

Cowboy and Vaati are one the best, if not the best youtubers for Souls Games. They are simply an enrichment for the genre and for the community.

lord, no idea why there hasn’t been a comprehensive pvp guide until now but THANK YOU!!! almost every video i’ve seen were so roundabout and convoluted

[@ANONM60D]

THANK YOU for showing yourself losing during an invasion. We need more people to enjoy the process to keep PVP alive

FightinCowboy in the official Bandai channel??? LETS GOOOOOOOO

[@sudanesegamer7886]

Fc is a legend. Glad to see him get recognition

[@DefinitionofFailure]

Please fix aim punch, it will improve PvP tremendously. You can even see it in action in this video.

[@theXXaftermath]

Wow! FightinCowboy on an official Elden Ring video!!

[@magicoddball1452]

clearly we need IGN covering PVP. Bloodflame blade + Fires Deadly Sin is by far the most fair and counterable move in any multiplayer setting.

[@alexanderchristov32]

The "Connection Error" was quite cool in a beginner's guide :)

[@JDubG]

Let's keep promoting PvP/Invasions this is the way! We all know this is the endgame!

[@kimlee6643]

Damn right.

[@MattyIceBJJ]

Just keep doing NG+ cycles for boss rush and just using coliseums for PVP has been my way to play for awhile now

[@mattb683]

That's cool to see him doing videos for BNCO

[@Last_Man_Alivv]

I love seeing all the unique builds

[@lancelpaulguarin4780]

My first soulsbourne was dark souls 3, bought it nov 2022, and fightingcowboy was like a beacon of light traversing farron's keep. I mean, DS3 was dark, atmospheric and grim and cowboy was very helpful.

[@kit694]

These games are hard but they’re also very fun and rewarding. Cowboy has been a life saver countless times while playing the souls games. Edit: more like controller saver, when I first started these games I had a bad habit of breaking my controllers 😂

[@Niftygizmoz]

I already miss Elden Ring,even though I had beaten it back in 2022

[@ERTipsAndTricks]

For the spell casters watching this and feel weak or gimmicky: layer different spells with each other along with melee and L2. Pick spells and attacks that complement each other, either in range or area effect etc. and don’t forget about ashes. Waves of darkness, freezing mist, sacred blade, golden land etc… back stepping and using the same spell is easily dodged but mix ups are deadly and your weapon or it’s ash should have enough stoping power to make charging you difficult even with poise.

[@Featsofgrace]

I pray they balance this game more for PvP cuz right now it’s to busted

[@mattshuey1]

I don't know where else to put this - A game called Bleak Faith: Forsaken just came out and it is using the animation assets from Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. Bandai's legal should look into it.

[@bloodfiredrake7259]

So good to see cowboy. Man's one of best and most fun content creators.

[@monodoro]

Cowboy on the official channel is wild to see, very cool

[@itzmagictime8824]

Man i remember watching Fighting Cowboy for Dark Souls 2 builds like 10 years ago 😂

Release the DLC trailer already! Jesus Christ!!

[@kaancakrtas4401]

@FightinCowboy can you make a guide for Bandai Namco to show them how to fix the pvp as well?

[@Featsofgrace]

Yeah jsut show them ds3 it’s literally light years ahead of elden rings idk how the hell they backtracked

[@skullcat1378]

@@Featsofgrace Rember the Murky Hand Scythe? Remember the RKS cancel? Remember Estus Cancel? Machine gun greatbow? I agree that it's more balanced but ER doesn't have that many unfair glitches. But I also hope they keep improving it.

[@Featsofgrace]

@@skullcat1378 dark souls three had those glitches down the line and most of the weapon problems were just individual weapons not every single weapon had that problem in this game you can make every weapon have that sort of problem sure they got rid of us is canceling but there’s still a bow glitch in the game that allowed you to use it infinite size Hitbox to Insta kill your enemies which was far worse than the bow glitch but I completely understand and agree I do hope that they make this game better than Dark souls three

[@killablue1279]

I came here at lightspeed hoping for DLC news lol

[@BLK_MN]

I’m not going to take advice from somebody wearing the Silver Tear Mask. Only a scrub or a try-hard with zero Fashion sense would actually consider wearing that. Oh, I know it’s good (most people don’t seem to realize it decreases physical damage though), but nothing identifies you as a noob more than wearing specific armor pieces like that, and in some cases, will actually tell your opponent what moves and tactics you will use, putting you at an immediate disadvantage. It’s a crutch for bad players.

[@Luckyy_111]

Exactly

[@karlsigamoney]

The fact that Bandai reposted Cowboy's video is insane

[@cagdas1990]

Why is there nothing about latency and lag? That was the most annoying thing when getting into pvp the first time. I feel like "matchmaking" is being called "connectivity" in this video to paint over the actual connection issues.

[@youngnigar525]

Bandai so versatile!

[@LordBathtub]

DLC please, or just news 🥺

[@MarcM143]

Everything about this game is a masterpiece. The mechanics, online multi-player, music, boss fights. I love the Gothic style world of it it's so freaky.

[@noahleveille366]

“Using flasks is commonly frowned upon” Well then get ready to do *a lot of frowning*

[@bpooboi]

So if you have runes when you lose in pvp do you lose them? Do you gain them in these fights? Or do you get items?

[@HiImHavoc]

1v2 ganking the red after taunters tonguing them in, what a great example to showcase pvp or should I say pv2p

[@bruh-cd3kf]

Thats how it works now so it does make sense

[@skullcat1378]

Whenever you invade someone's world always assume you're going to be outnumbered. That's why it feels so good when you win an invasion, because it means you played better than the 2 or 3 people trying to defeat you. Yes, ganks can be really annoying but there isn't a better feeling than beating a gank squad solo.

Ive never been into to pvp but watching this makes me want to try it 🤔😃

[@SteveDonev]

Bruh, this didn’t go over stats, gear, poise breakpoints or any aspect of successful pvp. This wasn’t a beginners guide to PvP, this was just where to find it. It will literally teach a beginner nothing about how to pvp

[@BreloomSoup]

Why would it go over stats/gear? That's on you lmao

[@bloodfiredrake7259]

Stats, gear, and poise are play style dependent. Also, it is too indepth and sweaty for beginners.

[@caneeks8186]

Thats my boy 😢. I started my journey with cowboy and ds around the time ds3 was about to drop. His ds2 scholar of the first sin ( Hex build ) was a great start to my souls education and it would only get more fun over the next few years . 😎

Cowboy is the best!!!! 🎉

[@Conzort_1]

Cowboy was my first Elden Ring experience, pre-day -1 release. I foam at the mouth in pure lust and satisfaction, thinking of elden ring; it changed my life for gaming. Cowboy was the Shephard I chose to guide this, and he will forever have a place in my heart and soul. NAMCO... I don't have words. Thank you - I love you guys. Thank you so much.

[@fuego786]

guys, how come we love pvp so much and is the one the doesnt give you any incentive for ranking up. ARE YOU SERIOUS, no reason for me to use pvp whatsoever, yes is fun, but it should have a ranking reward or something, i remember DS3 that we had covenants, that we had weapons and spells as rewards for leveling up the covenants and multiplayer, please bring this back. BRING THIS BACK!

Lol I’m one of those people who dodges PvP. I’d much rather play against someone who is as at a similar point in the game gear wise.

Recognition for Fighting Cowboy is great. Maybe one day we'll also see one of the more niche SoulsBorne KZbinrs like Quelaag or Zullie the Witch on here! I sure hope they keep recognizing KZbinrs from the community like this because they all work hard and love to give us entertaining content.

[@kimlee6643]

Zullie was asked for Sekiro promos after ER was out btw. They know the influence these people can have. Quelaag is a bit more complicated I guess, since her stuff is long and people like it in part because they enjoy the "rambling" format she employs in her thought process. Lore-wise, Tarnished Archaeologist is probably the hottest thing these last few months. Exceptional balance between observation, external knowledge and provocative interpretation.
