My friend hated souls games, couldnt figure them out but Elden Ring explains things so much better about how to upgrade and everything that he went back and loves DS trilogy now

[@milothan-poirier570]

Elden Ring also has the most horrible bosses in the entire series. The only focus in that game was to make it casual friendly with bosses designed around bleed/magic and summons. Bosses are insanely hard (sometimes frame perfect) for any melee build that can't hit trade. Hyperarmor is such a joke when the poise bar is hidden... Not to mention the endless combos they tend to start at obscure times. DS1 bosses were clunky but fair, Sekiro was insanely hard but you had many tools to properly learn bosses (stance bar+revive), DS3 bosses were an amazing mix of every souls game before, and ER just feels like a cinematic with a skippable (with summons) fight right after or a game for challenge runners that like to discover frame perfect dodges and such. All of that to say I strongly disagree that Elden Ring is better at explaining mechanics. The only thing it teaches you is that hit trading is good (which renders Midir impossible with that mindset) and that you have to rely on summons to ever heal (which makes the entirety of sekiro impossible with that mindset). Not to mention that you are actually slower than in DS3 and BB in Elden Ring even though the bosses are about 1.5 times faster. Thank you fromsoft for making a game about watching cinematics and cheesing bosses.

@@milothan-poirier570sounds like someone sucks at elden ring😢

[@milothan-poirier570]

@@bruksmegee7371 I beat Promised consort Radahn Without a summon, bleed, a greatshield, frost. Literally just dodgerolls and a vanilla twinblade. Level 15 scadutree. It took me 8 hours and none of it was fun. The one time I had fun learning a boss in the DLC was Messmer and maybe Bayle because of the NPC summon. Let me rephrase: Elden Ring bosses MOSTLY suck, they're creating difficulty out of bullshit to counteract the equal amount of bullshit the player has (mimic tear +10 was the biggest mistake in any FromSoft game). Everything got powercrept, my problem are not delayed attacks or waterfowl dance in particular. You can learn both of them with a fair amount of tryhard. My problem is that EVERY BOSS has delayed attacks and their own little waterfowl dance equivalent which encourages hit trading. And this powercreep stems from the existence of OP summons. If every summon was like the base wolves/not upgradable it would be already a huge upgrade to the game. The last straw was Radahn's frame perfect attack in P1 and the amount of visual garbage in P2 both making the rest of his relatively fair patterns extremely unfun to learn. The game can only truly be enjoyed as a RPG, it was never intended to be a souls like and failed as the last game in the Souls series. elden ring is a failed game and I will never play it again unless they make the good bosses easy to access in the game/fightable after their death. Which they won't.

[@alexboi9454]

I did the same thing going from elden ring to DS1 and one thing that shocked me was how much dmg you do against bosses and how precise the roll timing is

[@OgichiGame]

Kindling increases how many flasks you can carry, but only when resting at that bonfire.

[@bluespartangaming1514]

If you're willing to put in the points into Strength and Dexterity, the Zweihander can be one of the best weapons to use in DS1. I used it recently for a video I did on my channel here and I found that using the heavy attack on a certain boss later down the line could stun them, which trivialized the fight. Also if you get a certain mask from another boss and pair the zweihander with said mask and a set known as Giant's Armor you can become one of Dark Souls's most immortalized player characters.

Resistance is a trap stat. Ignore it completely. Instead get vitality and endurance to 20ish to hold u in the early games then focus what ever build u want. The endgame weapon meta involved using non boss weapons, body buff and weapon buff (boss weapons cant use weapon buffs). Weapon buffs were either consumables (resins that apply elemental buffs) or weapon spell buff (these buffs added are more arcane in nature and scale with the catalyst used and the stat associated with it). But most importantly, every weapon (non gag weapons at leaat) is viable and u can be very flexible in ur build

[@StandardBuster]

It was so painful to watch him not notice kindling increased the flasks he got.

[@ryandixon8202]

yeah this game has a nasty way of giving you little to no information at all, if you don’t want a little explanation on what you did when you kindled then don’t click read more. as you noticed - you had 10 flasks at the firelink bonfire, that is one of few bonfires that starts out kindled (hence why it said you couldn’t kindle it any further without the secret rite) all other bonfires in the game only restore your estus flasks back up to a maximum of 5. when you kindled it you made it now give you up to 10 flasks upon respawn or rest at that bonfire.

Love to see a fresh take on the game. At this point, other games have definitely perfected what it and Demon Souls introduced. However, Dark Souls 1 still remains one of my favorite puzzle boxes of an rpg to revisit

[@darlingimscared]

What I enjoyed the least about elden ring was fighting interior mobs, castle esque area's, dungeons, generally fighting in confined spaces, random knowledge checks like boulders rolling out of nowhere after you. When I see older souls game's all that garbage seems like 90% of the gameplay

Ironically, I think you had the closest to an intended experience with the game. Hang in there! It is janky and cryptic but the game can be mastered, (one word "gear"). And for the people that were there, this was the closest we had to Elden Ring for a while. Bloodborne is my favorite of the series but DS1 will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@draakisback]

Ds just doesn't hold your hand like Elden ring. Once you really get into it, you'll see why it's still considered to be one of the best games fromsoft ever made. And yeah for sure, after playing Elden ring, sekiro and ds3, there definitely are things that feel antiquated but in a way that gives the game more charm. Combat is slower and more methodical which forces you to take your time with boss fights.

[@snekykuro2182]

I played ds1 first and love it but elden ring in my opinion is better and i think other people who has played both should agree. Elden ring was created years later with better tech, the gameplay is smoother, and we have more option during combat. If we're talking about difficulty or the world design or stuff like that, i guess it make sense to pick either one due to each people prefering different stuff. But isn't it weird if fromsoft game that we all love would devolve with each passing years?

[@AsyIvm]

i would say try to play slower and be super curious if you’re doing a blind play-through because this game has so many hidden secrets since the map is so interconnected. The upgrading system is goofy af, like you need a certain type of weapon upgraded enough to get a boss weapon goofy, so i might meta game at least to look at boss weapons if you wanna use one your first play through. it’s really fun game though and i couldn’t recommend it more so i hope you keep playing

[@volrath77]

Hollowing and unhollowing are online mechanics. In the beginning, that shriveled look? You are in the hollowed form. In that state, PvP is off. If you reverse hollowing at a bonfire and become human, PvP is turned on. Don't know if there are still online PvP for DS1 nowadays anyway. As for kindling, it increases your flask count. There are 3 stages of kindling and each bonfire must be kindled individually if you want the benefit. No auto application to all bonfires by kindling only 1 bonfire. You can do the first stage without needing the rite and that increases your flask count from the base 5 to 10. To do the 2nd stage, you will need a secret rite that you will come across the quest for it later. 2nd stage kindling will raise your flask count to 15, 3rd stage will raise it to 20. To kindle a bonfire, you need humanity. You do not need to unhollow to kindle a bonfire. To get a +1, +2, etc. to your flask, you need a firekeeper soul and feed them to Anastacia, the firekeeper imprisoned beneath the Firelink Shrine. That means you can kill firekeepers you will encounter at some other bonfires and get their souls, right? Sure you can BUT killing a firekeeper will PERMANENTLY extinguish the bonfire they're tending. So, don't do that because you'll find a few spare firekeeper souls if you search around.

[@ColdRoland]

It's not really perfect timing...although it is kinda tight. You just parry the hand of the opponent. Not the weapon. So the weapon model and its reach might as well be ignored when it comes to parrying. You focus on when the hand meets the hitbox of your parry. That hitbox is fairly generous in DS1. Just gotta know what you are actually parrying. It's also really weird that you call the Zweihänder a classic while starting with ER. I think the internet might have done some dmg on you already. :P

[@Phrosnite]

Something that really bugs me in the new Soulslikes is the stamina (I guess we can thank Dark Souls 3 for that). It's a freakin' joke, you have too much. You can attack so many times it's ridiculous. You can skip leveling it up and you'll be fine the whole game. It's like a "dump stat" if you know what I mean.

People say shit like “DS1 bosses are nothing compared to Elden Ring” but forget that player power level in early DS games was extremely low compared to newer ones. You’re extremely slow, you hardly have any stamina + rolling costs WAY more stamina, and your offensive capabilities are extremely bottlenecked compared to the arsenal of shit you get in ER. DS1 is much more about timing and learning patterns than just mindlessly rollspamming through a bosses attacks then nuking them instantly with the kamehameha.

[@resin2092]

What do you mean the bosses in ds1 are ez af unless u got a shit build (dex)

[@bruh7170]

With all the limitations on the player that u mentioned, it was still incredibly easy. I’m sorry but learning a bosses “moveset” when the entire moveset is like 4-5 attacks with no variation is not difficult whatsoever. I feel like I’m crazy because I played Elden ring first, had a lot of people told me “ds1 is way harder” played it (with the dlc) and the only bosses with noteworthy challenge were the iconic duo and manus.

[@prudentlolipop2627]

Bruh, DS series has a better bosses then elden ring or sekiro. In DS u don’t have auto-finishing of bosses’ attacks (not counting 3), they don’t read whether you’re healing or not-their series of attacks don’t change. Elden ring is Miyazaki's worst game, when you can't make an interesting combat system and pve bosses - you do auto-finishing, etc.

[@mahirbhuiya]

Some tips from a DS veteran. 1. Since, you're going for a strength/dex build (objectively the way to play the game, unlike stinky Elden Ring with its Dex, Int and Bleed builds), get the Zweihander (The Bass Cannon) and just profit. In this game, it's the best weapon to use with its ability to flatten humanoid enemies like a pancake. 2. Get poise! Get the heaviest armor set you can and just tank through the bosses' attacks like they're a joke. Unstoppable Force gets beaten by an Immovable Object. 3. Humanity is the number on the top left corner of the screen besides the health and stamina bars. It determines, how resistant you are to poison and other statuses, item discovery. When you use a humanity from the counter at the top left, you can become human by reversing your hollowing, which will make your character look like the one you created in the menu. It will also allow you to get invaded by NPCs and other players. The MOST important thing it does is that, it allows you to kindle a bonfire and make it stronger and give you more estus flasks whenever you rest at that specific bonfire. This game doesn't have a Golden Seed/Estus Shard mechanic. You have to kindle each bonfire for you to get the larger amount of heals every time you rest. Firekeeper Souls are like Sacred Tears and it upgrades your Estus Flask. Most bonfires will start out with 5 estus flasks but the ones that have a firekeeper will already be kindled and give you 10 flasks. 4. Every time, you see a boss or "bosslike creature" with a tail, attack the tail to get a special surprise. Anyway. I'll stick you in my prayers. A fine Dark Soul, to you.
