I'll be just one more comment praising your for this AMAZING video, but i'll put it out anyway. This video it's amazing. You don't just cut the places and rush the whole thing, you DID IT with us. And i can see in your happy face that you LIKE doing it. You are not doing it just for the views and milk on the elden ring hype. You fucking love the game and helping people have fun with it. You joked the whole time, had an amazing humor. What a great youtuber. I've never played a souls game before, and i wanted to play this one so bad but i suck at this type of game, and hate how difficult it is from minute 1 of gameplay to the last one. I'm definitely not the person who will stick to it till i get the monster gone. I just don't have fun. So your video helped me have a lot of fun with the game. I just subscribed and will watch your future videos. Great great video.

[@P4wnyhof]

Thank you for these words sir and you are correct I do love making things work in this game 😅👍

The best part about the dragon rune farm glitch is that it saves a lot of time for subsequent character builds. As much as I love the game, I do not love having to grind through levels repeatedly just to try new stuff after I've already done it a couple times.

[@darienalvarado5185]

Hey man, don't feel for not making it to the Grace before the dragon died. It's a tight window!! I have a couple PRO TIPS.👇 for the first time killing the dragon, strike up the tip of his tail till you find a nice sweet spot that's as close to the Grace as possible. SECOND once you have the runes, put points into your stats that allow you to wield your mace on Torrent(or else no hemorage). Now, when the dragon is at his last tick, hop on Torrent so as you land that last strike, you save a couple seconds which makes this grind significantly easier. Good luck everyone!

You can go through the main gate to the Limgrave Tower Bridge grace, from there it’s not far to the Liftside Chamber grace, and from it it’s a stone’s throw to Nefeli and the Secluded Cell grace. After killing Godric, Gostock will stop stealing runes, so you can safely explore the location.
