Tip that is gonna save you countless time, when you start to get overloaded, give all your stuff to a pawn you hired and dismiss them, all thay stuff goes in your bank, plus it keeps your pawns refreshed as you gain levels, I was able to tackle most of the first region without ever going to the city like this

[@elwingy]

i remember reading somewhere that you can give all except gear because if you do the gear is lost. Unless they mean equiped gear in Pawns and not the one they just carry in their back.

[@tump1181]

That’s only if you equip it. It gives you a pop-up also warning you about this. Otherwise it goes into inventory. Test it with something cheap to see.

[@intoxicviii]

You can also fill up their inventory and just throw them in the water and everything in their inventory will go back to your place, same thing as dismissing

[@Chefhazzah]

Didn’t think we would notice that Skyrim line we’ve heard while leveling up smithing hahah

[@MitchBoudreau-yv3vd]

Despite knowing all this, I still appreciate the format and the way you laid this out/presented all the steps (map location and guide etc). Best type of video on this subject I’ve seen since day 1

[@paulgrant4520]

I've been watching you for 5 years. Keep it up Danny your doing amazing

[@cosmiclizard8881]

Very good guide. Its even better with the right augments equiped, like Endurance you get from the archer vocation & so on..

[@tump1181]

Excellent video man! Very nicely detailed, and explained. We need more videos like this of the game.

[@keithbaker5610]

ESO you never miss my boi!!

[@Soulsborne25]

You are the best ESO 🎉

[@Brendangotgud]

Bro just got a new sub I bought this game out of curiosity never played the first I'm a huge elden ring fan and heard the world was amazing which is one of the main reasons I got it I've been playing it and it's been okay just trying to figure things out but this video showing how many secrets are hidden in this world in cool items actually reminds me of the same thing and I got to say it's making me fall in love with the game and I can't wait to explore every little corner of it now thank you for this video man

[@whiteclouddakota1451]

Thank you for sharing this phenomenal video

[@86cayman86]

Love your guides. Any plans on doing one for the mystic spearhand?

[@MitchBoudreau-yv3vd]

Another tip for people just starting: Start off as a thief or mage etc, when you get to the first Inn and get your main pawn, switch vocations (you’ll have gathered enough from the 6 goblins on the main trail) to fighter at that time. You’ll get all starting armor for free

[@DaSaint79]

Don't like the homeless look?

[@troybarnes3581]

Thanks for helping me on dragon dogma 2 for acquiring those item

[@Axan436]

24:52 Apparently, not only does he give you Soldiers Code, but you unlocked the Mystic Spearhand vocation as well in that same conversation.

[@supriadiramlan5545]

wow awesome guide

[@ron2076]

More of this please ❤

[@GoobieDoo86]

When u gonna put more early builds out its been almost a week been loving your early build videos

[@azel7056]

Hahah Thanks Again ESO👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@soul_society1591]

Thank you!

[@Monstein]

Fighter is my favorite vocation in the game.

[@victorsanchez-iq7jw]

Man life's great I get to watch eso again after years of not playing skyrim😂

[@jakobifling4823]

In the ancient battleground, you can use the balista on top of the battlements to if lucky one shot the dragon. It was sleeping when I found it and I got a head shot.

[@alcameler]

FINALLYYYYY!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@soulechelon2643]

You said "Checkpoint Rest Town" so many times I don't think I'll ever forget it xD But I just wanna say to be careful with where you throw the poison barrel for Lennart's quest, and not just because of the river. You really gotta hit the nest perfectly, at least for me. I threw it and it looked like it was right in the middle but for some reason it told me I failed the quest. Luckily I had backup saves so I was able to try it again and it worked fine after I moved my aim slightly. The spot I threw it was from the other side where you pick up the barrel (threw it over the river), so it may just be safer to do it exactly as shown in the vid: walk over the bridge and chuck it down into the nest. Anyways, excellent guide. I'll probably be maining Spearhand but I plan to play all the different classes. Started with Fighter and really am enjoying it. Following this will get me some goodies for Spearhand as well, so this is awesome for me.

[@MHSenju3000]

My fighter is LV 60 and I haven't confronted the fake sovern yet. Am I over leveled?

[@WERSV11]

Bro u just wild creature 😂

[@MHSenju3000]

@@WERSV11 I have an exploration problem 😭

[@WorldFamousPlumbing]

Eso can you please make a WARRIOR build video

[@suicidesquash9168]

He dropped a major Skyrim reference and thought noone would notice!

[@thedude8356]

Could you do a video for each class 😊 please

[@Pbd2kl]

Loving the videos danny.When will you stream on KZbin again? All the best to you!!

[@scubies]

I kinda screwed myself bc I encountered a dullahan, and pretty sure since theyre frost, theyre resistant to frost 😂

[@joseandkris]

It's nice to min-max and all, but I find that I have more fun when I just play the game and discover things for myself.

[@heyjulzdontmakeitbad]

There’s even no need to Min-Max since the difficulty is a joke mid to end game. Early game struggles since you don’t have all the skills 😅

[@soulechelon2643]

Rather odd choice of videos to watch then, if you want to "discover things for myself" lol.

[@Marziui4k]

Do Warrior next

[@Avalon19511]

Can you do one of these for the archer?

[@fredmackay9931]

I think dragons dogma 2 is great

[@ZoddtheGod]

Which is better for my tank pawn? Ring of Disfavor and Constancy or Ring of Resolution and Provocation? Would my pawn even need Shield drum or Bellow with the aggro ring and augment?

[@StupifiedTrooper]

Ring of disfavor and bellow/ drum. I keep drum or bellow on my pawn incase my sorc or archer starts to draw aggro by doing damage. But i dont see why you couldnt get away with just using something else. If you notice your pawn losing it too often just slap the skill on at a camp.

[@raylancarver7347]

I want that armor.

[@kingrob7691]

I hope yur doing this for all classes

[@salihs7186]

Opsss I have returned the key to Captain Brant. What to do now?

[@arishchandok7543]

Whats the sword you have in the nail clip of the fighter ??

[@ESOdanny]

It's in the video towards the best weapons to get early. Everything you see in the thumbnail is shown in the video 👍

[@Urasega]

Hi ESO 🙋🏼‍♀️ thanks for videos. ❤ You Are Real ARISEN 🎉

[@Just_Some_Clown]

With the dragon in the battleground you can just shoot it with these super ballista and two shot it.

[@sprite296]

my only question is why are there so many enemies that give you poison?

[@Sinintheair]

Are you looking to defend yourself? Or deal some damage?

[@kwongwahwong6289]

I feel springboard is awful on a pawn unless you are really struggling to get to a high location, which is usually overcome simply by using a mage or sorc weapon to levitate yourself. Primarily it's how stupid the AI is when it comes to springboard in combat. It'll crouch down until someone decides to use it, either yourself or another pawn, and it'll refuse to do anything else until that happens. So if you are relying on that fighter pawn to hold agro or do damage, it won't, and to makes matters worse, it'll choose to use it when there are no tall monsters to jump on anyway! IMO a wasted slot on a pawn( player skill is completely different matter as the AI pawns seem tuned to be launched up by the player). IN a way the pan uses the skill to dictates to you how to play rather you tell your pawn what to do. Really dumb Ai when it comes to launchboard. There are use cases where it is great but they are few and far between compared to the stupid AI decisions it makes regarding the skill

[@terry85mar]

You didn't link the video on how to make easy gold.

[@geez4811]

Where do you get the helmet?

[@atomsk3250]

You buy it at checkpoint rest town

[@jgarreis142]

When i create my charakter he is between 81-85 Carry Weihgt… is this to Low for fighter ? I dont want to Play a Gigant 😂…

[@TheMrTC3]

The fighter is a shell of what it was in the original Dragons Dogma. Skyward strikes was better at hitting airborne enemies, the skewer skill was way better as it wasnt initiated by jumping first so it wouldnt miss you could do it while standing, and dragons maw was a way better ultimate skill it would easily erase 2-3 healthbars in one use. Also you had 3 sword/mace skills and 3 shield skills to assign. Oppose to having just 4 total in this game, no idea why they reduced that. Fighters damage in this game is poor compared to every other class minus the trickster

[@EXP234]

Yep I'm with you 100% and even the perfect parries don't feel as good as they used to either. Also feels like you just get abso staggered to death and the only way out is either your pawns or the new silly shield spin.

[@fckoff3203]

I've tried everything to make fighter work literally everything and it is probably one of the worst vocations along side trickster. I wonder if they will ever give fighter a buff most likely not but here's hoping..

[@EXP234]

@@fckoff3203 I get that and I won't lie from DD1 to 2 Fighter definitely feels like it got pushed into the support/tank role especially with the reduction of enchanted weapons. Sometimes the class just isn't for you it happens.

[@fckoff3203]

@EXP234 idk, man. I'm still gonna try and see what else I can do it's still one of my favorite vocations, but your right DD1 fighter was awesome.

[@EXP234]

@@fckoff3203 What helped me out with fighter in 2 was to kind of play it like Mystic Knight from DD1 just slow down get my counters in, move around get a nice weak spot hit here and there, block some random bull and go ham once a stagger window opens up. You got this!

[@chiniakowski]

So, to summarize, skip and run past all enemies and finish the game?!

[@TrayGolden]

Even though fighter is kinda weak it’s still enjoyable playing him I have hope that they will buff him in the future because they are underwhelming and for a TANK class you sure do get staggered a lot

[@sanguinetales]

Dwarf Smithing is your friend

[@TrayGolden]

@@sanguinetales so do only dwarf smithing on my weapons and armor?

[@fckoff3203]

​@@TrayGoldenyes but it doesn't help much trust me I've been testing a lot of things with fighter and its pretty sad this vocation is so damn weak because it was my favorite..

[@PaulinaMtz-xo8bp]

....Looking to protect yourself... Or deal some damage???🎉🎉🎉

[@Thewalkinggamergaming]

Hashtag first person view

[@dominicruiz3031]

The Marcher's armor is strictly for disguise purposes to get into the castle at night, its stats are absolute ass 😂

[@TrayGolden]

You don’t even need it just don’t stay in the guards faces for too long and they won’t aggro

[@strangewolf1261]

God I hate how nonsensical the Marcher's set is. LITERALLY some of the finest looking armor in the game, YET is SOMEHOW weaker than ALL of the leather based gear? Like... the F??

[@RSAgility]

It's why it's weird they didn't add augmenting any weapon as much as we want I like keeping my starter gear and just going in without perks, just skill. That's what I liked about Skyrim, you could make a steel sword hit beyond its base damage through enchantments and smithing, I love using the enchanting glitch to get higher percentages than normal base-game would allow. So with an over powered smithing enchantment to improve your smithing ability, you could make level 1 weapons, into 1 hit weapons... Many made OP gear, I did. But I loved to use it to only get slightly higher percentages than allowed by the game but not game breaking, that way low level gear could compete in end game and against high level enemies etc. Good times Skyrim, been itching to play but don't have time to deal with mod management and then testing that the mods work

[@vaalalves]

Fighter is too damn weak, man... I picked it as my starter vocation and used it until level 35, but I was not having fun, but switching to archer, and then magick archer, and now mystic spearhand am I having fun. I wish blocking wasn't as clunky as it is

[@twinkieinyomowf6033]

im aboit to RETURN THE FUCKING GAME trying to get back to vengeberg or whatever the fuck its called after you took me to the shrine. I am so annoyed.

[@DaSaint79]

Springboard is TRASH tier!

[@twinkieinyomowf6033]

yeah man. i was having a great time following along until you just went "ight now get back to venfucktown" as if its not 100 miles away through a million fuckin enemies you dont know are there till its too late to even try going back the way you came. What the fuck. Why do you not show how to get back???

[@jaredh289]

It sucks that the game features awful writing and quests plus its quest design. There’s great gameplay that is wasted in a game full of lackluster everything. The ending outright sucks and is a massive slap across the face. I have no desire to ever touch the game again

[@orforix3147]
