Beating Elden Ring The Way FromSoftware Intended

[@elizabush5669]

My grandson loves your videos. I don’t understand all this elden ring “gamer” business but I sure don’t mind when my grandson puts your videos on in the living room. He says he tries to play like you. ❤ My grandson says he’s been waiting on a new video for sometime, glad to have your video playing in the living room again. I cook my husband Harold dinner in the kitchen and listen to you when my grandson puts your video on in the living room. That’s how we watch your videos when he comes to visit. Harold gets aggravated at me when I laugh, but sometimes I can’t help it. Even though I don’t know what you kids are talking about half the time. My grandson knows all the “gamer” slang so sometimes I ask him. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. This game you and my grandson play looks pretty sometimes but sometimes it gets too scary so I have to scurry back to the kitchen! Like I said, Harold gets aggravated at me for listening to your videos but in my defense, it gets the dinner done faster for my hungry boys. My grandson is usually ready for dinner after watching one of your videos. My Husband Harold is always ready for dinner. Lol! P.S. you don’t need to use so many crass swear words, you’re a handsome and funny young man without them. ❤

Hey great video, just wanted to say that you could technically get enough level 6 smithing stones before Altus by teleporting to Volcano Manor using the abductor virgin in Raya Lucaria; and then collecting the smithing stones from Mt. Gelmir

[@AquaSloth]

Oh SHIT I hadn’t even thought of that, that’s a good point! I know I had to go to Altus anyway for the Radahn festival to start, but it still felt a little cheaty to go exploring there early. Volcano Manor makes sense though. Good eye!

[@KKKuma]

Very entertaining video. Great work. A thing about all the name in Elden Ring is that it is probably George R. R. Martin is responsible. In one of the older interview they asked how did he come up with the name in GOT. He said that at first when he learnt how to write story, he was taught that different characters should have different syllables to avoid confusion and he did just that. However as he started to wrote more complex story, there are more than 26 characters in the story and he was out of option. So he decided to follow the historic naming of the medieval period that each house hold or noble family will have a similar name with each other to show their blood line. That is how all of the name in GOT was created and so did Elden Ring character name. It make total sense and fits with human history. The entire, Rykard, Radahn, Radagon, Renala, Renna, Ranni and Godfrey, Godwyn, Godefroy, Godrick, Godstock, Moughgwyn, Morgot, Margit also Marika, Malenia, Melina, Miquella, Maliketh and some other like Placidusax, Granssax, Fortisaxx, Lansseaxx are all totally easy to understand and not confusing at all. 15:16 About Thopp. He got kicked out of the Akademia for pursuing developing a new type of magic (thus he is not wearing the burger king crown). After you give him the key, he could comeback and finish his research. Finally finishing his spell. That is a little sad. 26:07 I think they are intended that player could not get pass Draconic Sentinel and going exploring the Altus area which also lead to the Mount Gelmnir and Volcano Manor. 33:00 The Frenzy Flame Proscription is where my mind is blowned by the connectivity of Elden Ring. There is a illusory wall right next to the grace which lead to the Deeproot Depths area. At first we went to the Deeproot Depths through teleportation which made us never know how or where it is physically of the overall world, it feel like a separate area. However after reaching it through the Frenzy Flame Proscription, all the going downward make sense. We went down the sewer, we went down a hidden catacomb, we went down a lots but never actually know where it lead to. It would be a disappointing if all that just lead to a room. And boom, it is an entire area that connected with the previous area that we have always wondered how to get there physically. It is obvious that the Deeproot Depths is under the Erdtree itself when you think about it. It made me very happy that Fromsoft didn't hold back at the world design and connectivity at all. It also make the incredible world building on par with LOTR seem more believable as player can experience it themself. 44:33 To be fair, Gideon deserves that level of disrespect for summon. We just killed gods and literal embodiment of death and he challenged us thinking he could win. Oh wew Gideon if you think so then let my Rat beat you.

[@demarko500]

The Radagon/Elden beast fight has been the bane of my existence. In 10 play throughs of this game, I figured every other boss out except the above. I”d eventually beat the fuckers, but totally stressed out. I watched many videos on strategies specially for those two, and nothing really great, still a bitch for me. Then I watched this video and noticed the Colossal sword you were using, and it came to me. Use that with Lions Claw on the f--ing elden beast. I was already using blasphemous on Radagon, and EUREKA!!! I’ve been playing this game for a year and dreaded the elden beast encounter every time. The combo above annihilated the beast with ease. I know your video wasn’t about defeating the end game boss, but I guess I should thank you, my main problem with this game has been solved….

[@AquaSloth]

Hey man, just if it helps and makes you like the game more, I’m glad I could help! My first time around I was a Rivers Of Blood bastard and was leveled a pretty fair amount so I don’t remember it being too bad. But damn, so the big bonks really be the way to go

[@piedpiper1172]

Pest threads is hilariously OP vs Elden beast. Just hug the bug and launch threads. Every single thread will hit, often more than once. Plus the spell has a tiny Faith requirement, so just upgrade the “oh, you didn’t level Faith?” seal-I think it’s the one the pilgrim starts with? Anyway. It’s my go to for any build at all to pump out cheese damage vs the bug.

[@dungeater9241]

1.o radahn still exists, they reversed the unintentional nerf on him

[@AquaSloth]

Oh shit, I thought he was like totally broken in 1.0, they nerfed him to shit in 1.2 or whatever, and then he ended up in a weird middle ground area for the latest patch. I had no idea!

[@anonymousperson8903]

@@AquaSloth You are right. He is in a middle ground now. He still has 8-10% decreased damage, slower arrows and meteors that track less, AoE's that emerge slower, and much smaller hitboxes. So many misinterpreted Fromsoft as 'reverting' the nerf. Instead they fixed only the parts that they accidentally over-nerfed.

[@AquaSloth]

Okay, that’s what I was thinking but I wasn’t totally sure; thanks! I thought I remembered people mentioning that 1.0 was like broken broken, then they over nerfed, then he ended up (now) in a state weaker than 1.0 but stronger than 1.2. Thanks for the confirmation!

@@AquaSloth man that'd be super dope!

@@AquaSloth Yeah, I was a bit disappointed, I was looking forward to fight him.

[@makaha1]

Never touched shadow of the colossus? Great game and kinda short. Try it asap :D Great video

[@AquaSloth]

I actually just downloaded it on my pc like two days ago! Looking forward to giving it a spin

Call you Gordon Ramsay because when you cook you only produce the finest

[@AquaSloth]

Aye, the quality might not be the greatest, but I hope a least part of it tastes good (the metaphor is getting weird)

[@DevilSurvivorsBiggestGlazer]

To be fair Gordon Ramsay is a bad cook

you must be thinking of Gordon Ramrey@@DevilSurvivorsBiggestGlazer

[@Bakedbeansed]

Glad found you, I look forward to watching your YT career spiral out of control.

[@AquaSloth]

Thank you, baked beans, I will not let you down. I’ve already got my notes app apology written out for when I accidentally steal money from you, lie to you, cover up naughty behaviors, and/or cheat on my wife. I just gotta fill in the blanks and I’m all set!

[@Bakedbeansed]

@@AquaSloth Thats the spirit mate, I have your bell ticked, ready and waiting for the next shitpost filled with cum jokes and General Sam style narration. Make us proud.

[@Bakedbeansed]

Oh also I stalked you on Twitch and your discord link is broken :(

[@sethlol12]

cum joke in the first minute i knew this video was gonna be good. proud of you brother!

[@AquaSloth]

Not one, but two! Thanks buddy

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

Given how strong spells are in all FromSoft games since DeS, I think mages beat ER the way FromSoft intended 😁

[@AquaSloth]

I honestly kind of wish they would talk about the magic stuff more in the guides. They go over it in the beginning in regards to the classes, but never really touch on it again in any of the guides I’ve read (DS1, DS3, and ER)

[@Makalon102]

Seems like magic really is easy mode and they intend melee to be the default way

[@babyyodacamaro]

LETS FUCKING GO MY MAN'S BACK

[@AquaSloth]

Thank you baby yoda!

[@ysbhw]

big dog shirt goated apparel

[@AquaSloth]

BIG DOGS RISE UP AHWOOOOOOO

[@AquaSloth]

Side note; I sent them numerous messages on Instagram asking for a sponsorship and they never replied, so I accused them of having small dog energy and then they DID reply and said something along the lines of “you accuse us of having SDE, yet ask for favors 🤔”. I’m assuming I will not be getting that sponsorship

[@ThreePuttMas]

Heard the Glover OST. Instant sub

[@AquaSloth]

Praise be to 2014 General Sam!

[@BruceLee-kf7rl]

Every Dark Soul gatekeeper approves this video

[@AquaSloth]

Thank god, I love a good gate keep!

[@sheanstanks]

You always post when I'm busy 😵‍💫 gonna come back!

[@AquaSloth]

Come back!

[@sheanstanks]

Btws I totally get the dad's shop thing 🤣

[@jadencheung4809]

No hate but you technically did have access to sleep pots the whole time because the recipe book is in limgrave

[@AquaSloth]

Yeah! I can’t remember off the top who all was noted as weak to sleep (other than Godskin), but I just kind of forget about the crafting stuff when I play. Nothing against the guide or the game, it’s just not a mechanic that I really have ever paid attention to

[@Ched_TTV]

Im glad im not the only one who thought she sounded like Luanne

[@AquaSloth]

Okay but why is no one else talking about that??

[@Leogclark]

This video needs more likes

[@AquaSloth]

No, this comment does

[@ESenn-id7zf]

You're a really funny guy lol. The kid making car noises joke got me so off guard, I look forward to more!

[@AquaSloth]

Yo thanks dude! Wasn’t sure if that one would stick, so glad to hear some people say it got them. Appreciate ya

[@K..C]

Ayyy, and he is back !!!

[@AquaSloth]

My people needed me. I will always be here for my children

[@whitemojowolf]

Aqua’s been cooking

[@AquaSloth]

We using that crockpot slow cooker low heat for 10 months ass cookin my boy. Thanks for coming back!

[@walternunez4118]

Struggles with Godrick, says Fire Giant is easy. Who is this man??????????

[@AquaSloth]

Lmaoooo, I don’t know what it is man, Godrick really just gets my goat. Fire Giant ain’t too bad as long as you stay close!

[@krisasi3812]

youtube has been pretty dry so seeing this beauty definitely helps

[@AquaSloth]

You’re too kind 😭 Thank you, playa!

[@strambatm7709]

Did I have a stroke or did he just randomly start talking about phantom ganon???

[@AquaSloth]

It wasn’t random, that’s just the next step!

[@BoatieB]

If i was just listening to this video, there's a good chance i would think this is general sam. But then again you also look completely alike

[@AquaSloth]

I have gotten that… a lot. But thank you! Sam is a very large influence on the shit I make

[@Era2Sunrise]

I dont know how I have never noticed in my 600 hours of Elden Ring that Roderika shares the same VA as Shadowheart from BG3. I somehow noticed now that you mentioned her voice sounding similar lol

[@AquaSloth]

I actually was just watching a video a couple days ago going over each VA for ER and what other notable roles they played in other games. Haven't played BG3, but that's sick!

[@Era2Sunrise]

@AquaSloth Oh mate, you should totally give it a shot if you are on the edge about it. You can return it within 2 hours if you don't like it but it's so good!

[@CorrroC]

Wooo finally 😊

[@urbosasimp7971]

Great watch, keep this up man :)

[@AquaSloth]

That’s the plan! Also hell yeah, Urbosa high key mommy as fuck

[@vincentdavis260]

this quality with only 9k subs?? keep it up!!!

[@AquaSloth]

Aye, thank you dude! I owe literally everything to the precursor to this video, the Dark Souls guide vid! Literally 8,300 subs off that lmao

[@thecottagegamer]

Knowing this is also how you literally are in real life makes this so much funnier LMAO

[@AquaSloth]

LMAOOO I do really try to push that through the screen as best I can, so I’m glad it works! Thanks homie!

[@ryangreene4780]

Really great video!

[@AquaSloth]

Hey thanks man!

[@jdreyt9385]

22:35 you can kinda get a somber +9 (+22.5 in regular stones) by killing 1 boss before margit

[@AquaSloth]

Yeah, I knew the special weapons that use the sombers were an option, I just chose not to take that path. They do have a level for those as well! At 6:42 you can kinda see that second number (the +1) which is for sombers.

[@jdreyt9385]
