I started the game last night and what amazes me is how open the world feels. I’m trying to commit to moving in one direction in terms of exploration while leveling up for now. I started going around in circles for a while. There’s just so much to see and do, I love it!

Well it is an open world game so😅

Go in as many circles as you can stand. Make the early parts last early so they dont seem like a chore to complete last

[@steveelia9693]

Circles is the best way, because if your line is northeast you’re going to get wrecked.

[@theyalwayscomeinfall]

I'm sure this is mentioned somewhere in the comments, but you do NOT have to duplicate a remembrance before you use it. You can duplicate any remembrance you've ever had one time. So, you can use it to create a weapon and then find a mausoleum later and duplicate it once even if it's no longer in your inventory.

As a note: The blessed dew talisman does NOT restore enough HP to negate poison. It does help it not hurt as much, but doesn't negate it.

[@自由石匠-b8k]

Sad to know this, but it makes sense, otherwise it will be OP.

[@trevordennis2631]

Bestial Vitality does nearly negate it and lasts a decently long time without costing much FP or Faith to use. If you use the Mountain Dew Talisman with it then you’ll fully negate poison.

This feels like it’s going to be the first souls like game that really clicks with me. I’m only a couple hours in but I’ve made enough adjustments to where it doesn’t feel so hard I just wanna quit after a few hours, but enough of a challenge to keep me engaged. Even just taking away the majority of fall damage is pretty cool, and the fact you can run away from a lot of fights until you have the power to deal with them is pretty awesome

[@viewtifuljoe4412]

Exactly. I had an epiphany last night while playing this as felt for the first time I actually understood how to play a Dark Souls game ^_^ Makes me want to go back and play the other games.

[@bevangleeson1121]

Fun tip about remembrance duplication - you actually don’t need to have saved the remembrance to duplicate them! You can duplicate remembrances you’ve already spent, as far as I can tell more than once (for runes the third time I guess?). Also some mausoleums seem to only allow certain remembrances to be duplicated - maybe only at that location for that remembrance.

[@frialzers]

Another tip for fighting Margit is jumping heavy attacks. After dodging his attacks, find a window to jump and heavy attack him, it has a chance to stagger him and give you a crit hit window. I did it with the sword in the one of the caravans in front of the gates, not sure if it's doable with other weapons. It made my life so much easier

[@Inferno_Blazeheart]

True, I found out normally heavy attacking him makes it harder due to him moving a lot and the jumping heavy attack makes it easier to hit him while maintain a strong stance break (should be the same with a lot of quick moving enemies and should be used a lot when needed because stance breaking is so good)

[@petermilesi3718]

Use the summon with spirit wolves. I owned him with the scythe. He was very easy.

[@PumpkinLounge]

I just skipped the boss entirely in the beginning and came back for him after the 3rd boss. There is a passage under the broken bridges before you get all the way to margit

[@222psk]

Another tip: Rotten Stray summon can solo him because of the Scarlet Rot

[@The-Spanish-Inquisition490]

That's because they used old assets from the previous titles, it's not just animations that's copied and pasted. I'm more shocked at the last gen graphics we where promised next gen. Don't get me twisted I'm not hating the game but I can't say I'm not disappointed in some of the quality and how long it took for the games release. I believe it was most of the time was waiting on George R.R Martin to write the story, then they spent a year developing a the world and copied and pasted enemy's like the giant crabs, animations and building with last gen graphics. Still fun.

[@NoNo-qt4ov]

[@MisterK-YT]

@@The-Spanish-Inquisition490 surprisingly, George actually finished his part years ago. And to be completely honest, their development time is actually pretty fast. Sekiro came out in 2019. 3 years for an “”entirely”” new IP is faster than most studios. That said, I share all the same complaints you do about graphics, performance, etc. The animations don’t bother me as much. Though I wish the combat was more Sekiro-like though 😞. Also, I’ve noticed some other areas in the game that looked verrrry similar to specificareas in Bloodborne. Just dressed differently. That said though, it’s such a giant and diverse world that that doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t have any issue about the “copying/pasting” thing.

[@jacoblynch1951]

I'm currently working on a mage build and only got 50 hours into the game. For whoever wants to do a mage build but dunno where to start with leveling up and the mage type weapons. Here's what I know. First tour gonna wanna focus of ur mind, vigor, intelligence, and dexterity especially your dexterity. You also might want to throw some points into your endurance as well. Now in the way of staffs I would recommend getting the meteorite staff and the rock sling spell. The meteorite staff can't be upgraded but it will get you mid way in the game. The rocksling spell is pretty much three purple rocks but they do some good damage when they all three hit. Now I would recommend getting the lazuli glintstone sword in my opinion it's a must for a mage build. When you just have to farm a few mages until they drop the sword. For its special you press left trigger and it'll shoot a glintstone pebble but it'll be at good for close up and it deals quite a bit of damage. When you fire the glintstone pebble from the sword press right trigger and that'll do a lunge to do even more damage. Rhe sword can be upgraded but you need somber smithing stones to upgrade the lazuli glintstone sword you'll come across a giant smith called master igi gonto him for upgrading that sword. Once you get the spirit calling bell I personally use the lone wolf ashes and the rotten dog ashes. There is one type of ashes that is great for a mage build but I can't remember what he was called. Anyway I used the rotten dog ash summon to expose godfrey to scarlet rot I just summon the dog and I keep godfrey's lock on me until I noticed his health started to decrease by itself without the rotten dog biting him. Just keep running away from him and he'll soon die. That's what I did and so far I'm currently sitting at the volcano manor. Now yes if you accept the invite to the volcano manor you can still access the round table hold you'll just open up a quest line and on ur map you should see red blips that'll either be quests or bounties available to do once you accept the invite to the volcano manor.

[@darkrootgarden3530]

Came here to say this, and it's absolutely true. Previous players might think it's like the FAP ring from DS1, and it technically is, but it's also the most inferior version of it. The Golden Seed is a far better choice for starting gift.

[@blaquenoise]

@Darkroot Garden I was boiling after I got it only to find out how useless it was. I could've leveled up around 9 times all the runes I lost getting that stupid talisman. Plus in the walk up to the talisman they fail to mention about the fire totem and how you have to physically hit it to turn it off.

[@matthewbergeron3641]

This video has a couple mistakes. Firstly the soul tuning doesn't actually need any of that prep. After a while of story she will naturally show up in the roundtable. Doing her initial quest line just gives you a specific soul ash and gets her to the round table sooner. Also use the rembrence whenever you want, however you want. Regardless of whether or not you have it in your inventory, you can still duplicate it so long as you have beaten the boss, and haven't purchased both items for that boss yet in that play through. It;s also been revealed that certain fake walls have more health than others, meaning you'd need to attack more than once before it disapears lol. Also that bloodstain is technically not sorcerier rogier, but you can find that out for yourself.

You can still duplicate a remembrance after using it so don't worry about missing out on it if you already used the item.

[@izzydarkhart4144]

Do you best to 100% the region before fight the boss of that region. It is so much easier. According to the strategy guide each boss is scaled for that. So that is why if you B line the main quest and main bosses you will struggle as you would be fighting each boss extremely under leveled like most streamers.

[@AFatOcelot]

Never played a souls game, pre ordered this one, but the more I watch to prepare the more I realize I may get really frustrated. I tend to get lost easily in games, like mass effect one was really frustrating to navigate and so was dragon age. Do you think I’ll be able to enjoy this? Open world exploration games are my absolute favorite

[@agezzz2854]

Yes and play the other souls games too

Glad I watched this after margit Boss spent like 2 hours fighting him and almost came to the conclusion he was impossible then I managed to beat him without getting hit once. Sometimes failing over and over again only pushes you to try harder.

@@wadimek116 It does not scale, after a summon there's twice as much of you vs the same amount of him (and there's an NPC summon right before the door). He can still wipe the floor with both of you, but you have a slightly better chance.

You can use walking mausoleums after you have used a remembrance, you dont have to still have it in your inventory

[@talongreenlee7704]

Slight correction: YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP YOUR REMEMBRANCE TO DUPE IT. You can get the boss weapon you want and then find a mausoleum to dupe it afterwards, even if you’ve already spent the remembrance.

[@PackerManForLife]

How? I used mine. And when I go to the mausoleum I still cant

[@talongreenlee7704]

@@PackerManForLife you probably went to a mausoleum without a bell and are trying to duplicate a demigod remembrance. Those can only be duped at mausoleums that have bells. Yes this is a real thing, you can look it up.

Love how he skirts around patches but then tells you how to go through a secret quest line

[@shaun_D]

I honestly expected to watch this and see 10 thing's I already knew about elden ring but each one I had no idea about and shocked me at how close I came to finding them myself but missed them by a few feet 😂

[@comgeturs]

Never played any from software game before Elden ring. It took me 6 hours of playing to realize you can run. 🤦‍♂️

[@gameranxTV]

😅

[@Anthonthephoenixearl]

You still can get double of the remembrances even if you use them you don’t really need to hold onto them

[@austinanderson1689]

You actually don’t need the remembrance in your inventory to duplicate it. You can use them and then go to a walking mausoleum and still duplicate any remembrance you want.

[@Mecz2]

Roderika appeared at the round table for me after I talked to her a bunch but hadn't gone right into Stormveil castle nor gotten the item from the grafting room. I think you can trigger the move by fighting Margit for the first time.

[@NonnyStrikes]

This reminds me of a scene from Grandmas Boy. You know, where he is at the table with the kids, during the wedding party. LMAO. Great stuff brother.

[@Nidhoggrr]

By activating one of the teleport traps you can get send to the crystal mines and die a bunch. However once you escape into the swamp, hug the coastline below the city and you can get the "Rotten Stray Ashes". I found it by accident and later learned that its ability to stack ROT is insanely good for early and mid game, especially that git Margit or the T-Sentinel.

[@James-gj8rn]

I can't wait to get my hands on the game in 2 hours, just remember that death isn't the end James and push through :)

[@horgecondaliza6644]

Yo. This is my first from software game, I’ve been to intimidated to play any of them, and with this I’m still pretty intimidated lol but man this game can feel really rewarding and even addicting. Idk if I’ll have as much enjoyment for the rest of their games since the open world element really does it for me, but they did a phenomenal job on this. I can understand the hype.

[@al3617]

So only 90% sure about these but: 1. You don’t have to find Rodrika out in the wild. She’ll just show up at RTH. 2. Margit’s shackle won’t work in his 2nd phase. So recommending saving it for his 2nd phase is bad advice.

[@johnradfordpena1649]

I swing my chunk of metal for a while now and I think is safe to say that turning around while swinging, especially with a non-locked R2, makes you hit a full 360 around you.

[@ithomas7788]

You don't need to go back to rodericka with the item, she will go to the hold by herself after a bit of time away from her. She can still become a tuner after this, and if you return to where she was sitting there will be a golden seed in her place.

[@spartansheart808]

Elden Ring was my first experience with a Souls Game. I'm 10 hours in and I'm not digging this at all. Beautifully made, but it's too stressful and basically requires you to keep a note pad. This is the exact opposite of why I play video games. Fool me once Souls.

[@InnerRise]

I just left a reply right after yours and I'm assuming I'll have the same experience. This will be my first fromsoftware game for all intent and purpose. Never was interested in it but bc of the reviews I'll try it out when I get a PS5 but even still...nothing I've seen has changed my mind on fromsoftware games. The whole masochistic difficulty thing has never been appealing. And having no real story.... They've never been my cup of tea. But we'll see.

[@anthonyo8358]

You dont HAVE to do any of these little things. These are really for souls veterans who will fly through the game due to being so good at the combat. You appreciate the extra content when the bosses start to get easy to beat purely off your experience with souls. Enjoy the main progression of the game if its your first time, dont worry about the little things. cheers!

[@spoodurmin9742]

git gud

[@spartansheart808]

Yeah... Proficiency aside, this kind of game isn't for me. Far too needy and unnecessarily stressful. They can call it an RPG, but this is just an open world mess of punishment. Good on y'all masochists who live for this nonsense. I play games to relax and enjoy a good story. The Souls world is not that.

[@theflipper404]

[@mikecich]

The gem of the game is uncovering something later on - meaning you already beat a boss/got an item before the quest even started.

[@sp00kyd4ddy6]

16 hours into my first playthrough and this has got to be one of the best games I've ever played. As a dark souls vet I may be a bit biased but even compared to some of the other open world rpg type games I've played Elden Ring still has them all beat by a long shot.

[@ImaRadish]

Thanks for the video. Beat Godrick and not sure what I'm supposed to do now, I guess I just need to explore

[@DR_DINGLENUT]

As someone who is playing a souls game for the first time I must say, I have no idea what you just said.

[@leapz8179]

As a note It doesn't matter if you spend a remembrance and then go to a mausoleum the ones you have obtained will already be their.

[@0nearmedbandit]

You can duplicate your rememberances, even if you already used it. so you don't need to "wait to duplicate it first" you can use it when u get it, then eventually when you go to the tomb you can duplicate any one you have earned, used or not. (but each rememberance can only be duped 1 time)

[@mattg00004]

at the statue where you need to use the erudition emote you can also scale the broken wall outside of it and double jump with your horse to make it onto top half of the tower, honestly i didnt know about the emote solution until watching this and when it said "erudition guide thee" i just thought it meant there was a unique solution to scaling it that you would need to find lol

[@HandlelessTML]

Emote related quests? Okay that's pretty cool!

[@xelthos2051]

You don't actually have to go into stormvale to get Roderiga to go. Just talk to her three times, get the Jelly, then go to the Roundtable and continue with the rest of the stuff.

37 years old here , 25 years of gaming experience, Elden Ring the most engaging and beautiful game ever made , no other game ever hooked me like this. Amazing level design , best fighting ( swords fighting) system I ever played , yeah better than sekiro because sekiro it more like arcade fast style of fighting, I prefer the slow realistic fighting style in elden ring , 1000000 types of swords , axex, Best game ever made by far , I wanna cry

I’m suuuuuper late to Elden Ring. I tried it for all of about 20min when it first came out, kept getting murdered by the Tree Sentinel, got frustrated and gave up. Fast forward to now, I’m probably like 10 or so hours in with a pretty strong quality build and bloodhound’s fang +4 demolishing almost everything in my way. I was able to beat Margjit first try along with a few nighttime bosses. It’s safe to say I’m pretty hooked on this game.

[@melocomanTV]

You can’t use margits shackle in second phase I’m pretty sure. Also you can duplicate rememberances after trading them for weapons.

[@Sage__gaming]

A quick tip, illusory walls can be accessed with a roll too, no need to attack.

[@TheClonemate]

I thought they'd tell us about the map, anytime you uncover the fog you'll eventually hit a black piller. Thats the location of the map piece for that area

[@jairusstrunk94]

You don't have to have the rememberance in your inventory or anything. Their just specific on which Mau will duplicate which rememberance.
