[@ArcticKoalaCurry]

Activating a battle flag doesn't automatically respawn enemies. It also heals you and fills up your flasks. The small flags don't give you flasks back but do heal you.

[@aries148]

Thanks for this. I was confused a bit earlier when I still only had 1 cure pot left after the activation of a flag.

[@Dogwalker_]

It does auto respawn then battle flag but the small one don’t although you can only go to them once

[@sws212]

@@Dogwalker_ It only respawns if you choose to rest. If you just set it down without going into the flag menu to level up and what not, they don't respawn

Yes it does, activating battle flag summons all enemies outside range of the hero spawn battleflag radius

[@blainehock754]

The fact we can choose effects for weapons is so great

[@timefortims6410]

Just FYI the moves enemies use with the red flash lower your morale rank by 1 if you get hit by them. Of course it won't lower it past your fortified rank, but if you're wondering, "hay, my morale was higher a moment ago" maybe it was just that red move you failed to deflect.

I struggled with the first boss in the demo but beat him in 15 min when I downloaded the full game. The game is very tough but fun and the best thing you can do is pay attention to how the enemy fights and parrying will become much easier once you have learned how how they fight

[@shishka3116]

You can also save different builds and load them with ease. Your current combination of armor, weapon and skill points can be saved in a slot.

@@gooseygaming9422 When you go to your battle flag, you'll see the option »battle preparation« (not the exact term as I'm playing on a different language, but you know what I mean; it's the second option in the list I think). Then go to »battle equipment«

Amazing video man. I’ve had to figure this stuff out by myself but this video cleared it out quite a bit. 🎉🎉

[@remotecontrolaxe]

Just started playing a few days ago, definitely all in on it. Thanks for the info! I think I hadn't quite figured out that the spirit gauge had neutral, positive, and negative sides. Perhaps I didn't read well enough, but whatever the reason, thanks for explaining how it all works.

[@iammrpositive5108]

I keep hearing it's like sekiro. Does that mean there's a heavy emphasis on parry and block? Like it's a requirement basically how it is in sekiro? I couldn't get into it but I'm willing to give it another try.

[@ZeepZerp]

@@iammrpositive5108 instead of a focus on parry it's more a focus on dodge. Also, there's a demo on steam if that's an option for you.

you guys work quick. thanks for the guide as always for all soulslike games.

[@jamesonedwardsii4943]

Where do you rank this game in souls like?

[@Not____Applicable]

I’m definitely gonna try to see what I can make focusing on wood and water. They have that ice range attack in the water virtue so I bet there’s something like that going on later in the virtue tree. Each virtue has an associated status effect build up so that really makes me excited to see what builds y’all cook up.

[@VincentValentine-]

40 Wood is the hard cap. And water seems to have no cap. So dual swords is the best. Maybe if Post it 12 (metall is capped at 10 I think 🤔)in each other category so u can get all 4 elementals dmg on you weapons. With the martial are you can proc all of them super quick on bosses😎

So farm I'm enjoying myself. Parrying and deflecting never been a strong suit but that'll have to change to survive in this game. This really does feel like if sekiro and dark souls had a baby

Parrying/deflect is vital but it's easier to do in this game than any other Souls game (I suck at parrying, usually).

You can change your attributes infinitely…how glorious.

[@NekoAdam]

I'm thinking I'm probably gonna use a mix of wood, fire, and earth, but with a heavy focus on fire since I tend to go for aggressive melee focused builds. Or maybe just pure fire but idk if that's recommended really-

[@NewbieGamerz884]

Heyy fextralife, ive forgotten to ask, can any of ur wo long build be carried over to ng+? As in the stats (50 wood, 8 fire , 14 metal, but increase them more to maybe 70 wood, 20-25 fire and maybe 30-40 metal), weapon / equipment options (special effects)?

[@mefirstandthegimmiegimmies5160]

I feel like there is a delay in the button hits. Sometimes it parries and sometimes it doesnt

[@mutianzhu5128]

Does the 'sign' of the spirit such as 'positive' or 'negative' spirit has any effect?

[@Therantguyyeazy]

Lightning build. The best

[@sanguinetales]

I want an Avatar, the last Airbender build Staff and Fire Earth Water Air(lightning, I guess in this case). I should specify elemental magic, not necessarily virtue

[@matheusmterra]

I would love to go in already knowing which weapons scale with which stat, so I can plan my build beforehand. Also knowing the max possible level, or at least the level I'm looking at for beating the game without farming so I have an idea of how many points I have to plan.

[@zackeryh250]

Looks like close to level 100 on the first play through. Also worth mentioning that you will get enough points to unlock all spells. Boomstick gaming has a video with most of the weapon varieties and their stats

[@matheusmterra]

@@zackeryh250 so you can't really have a maxed out stat with a healthy spread then? Good to know, I was thinking on getting some 20 points or so in each stat to access all spells and pump up my weapon's scaling stat but I see that's not a viable option, very good to know indeed

[@victorperezurbano9504]

You can change your stats (the levelling up points you spend in different virtues) every time you want and all the times you want. So you don't really need to plan at the beginning, you can switch builds as much as you want!

[@matheusmterra]

@@victorperezurbano9504 but one still need to know the max level, which now I know after looking for it.

[@nameless3520]

Any insight on how to switch inverted I can't seem to find it

[@returnofthedjed11]

this game is way more fun and far more accessible than i believed it to be. the only gripe i have is that the graphics are way nicer on console, but oh well, game rocks!

[@jjwhy321y3]

So the more flags I plant, the easier the boss? Didn't know, thanks.

[@elaraamaris9595]

Just taking off the stress of accidentally leveling wrong. Or upgrading a bad weapon is such a relief

[@judgezee9371]

so this is looking more like a mix of dark souls/sekiro with like some of nioh gearing. One thing i hated about nioh was end game was after a few dlc's so I tend to usually wait till all the dlc's are available

[@eyadyamani1851]

best RBG channel in history

[@Straggler8]

It's a bit confusing about the Spirit Gauge for me - when it's on blue side it means that you have a good amount of "mana" to use, but when you have it on orange it means you can still use skills, but you "borrow" the resource from your stance/posture instead of mana? And I assume, that when you get hit while being "full orange" you get stunned/stagerred?

[@deadheart1579]

For a good 1 or 2 seconds yup. Couple that with the fact that both every hit you take and every time you PRESS the dodge/deflect button it moves further into orange and it is kind of broken and 100x worse than other SoulsBorne type games. The fastest way to refill the gauge is also attacking so the game is basically forcing you to be as aggressive as possible. The Moral system is just as unbalanced.

[@777Looper]

@@deadheart1579 You must learn The Dance.

[@victorperezurbano9504]

Basically you need to manage your spirit. Deflecting successfully and and getting normal attacks in makes you gain spirit, martial arts, wizardry spells, dodging and spirit attack consume spirit. Spirit attack (heavy attack) does more damage the more positive spirit you have as well. Once you get the gist of it it feels fair and amazing. The mechanics of this game are amazing.

[@Straggler8]

@@victorperezurbano9504 after learning the game I confirm - mechanic is awesome and really fresh for soulslike genre :)

[@danrodriguez7954]

Just started and was lost about the basics. Appreciate the info i had no idea about. First boss took me 3 tries. Not as hard as people make it up to be. Playing the last boss of sekiro on new game plus a million times helped

Is the mouse fixed?

[@LorenTR]

3:43 What is deflecting "successfully". It is sloppy that it is not explained.

[@nikosxi]

Is there a level when it comes to weapons, for example? Will I get higher damage swords on the later missions compared to the earlier ones? Basically, should I gamble the accolade points the second I get to the village, or wait till the final mission for new game plus? Or on the NG+, or some between? When is the best time to invest on gambling and upgrading weapons/armour?

[@victorperezurbano9504]

The weapons given to you by NPC's when they have sworn their royalty are better than the "normal" ones of the same kind. They do slightly more damage and have powerful unique martial arts (special moves). Other than that, weapons are all good and you just need to scale them with your virtues and upgrade them at the forge. You could absolutely play the entire game with the same weapon you picked up at the beginning if you want to.

[@victorperezurbano9504]

Basically never spend accolades, you will always find better weapons just going through missions and swearing loyalty to the NPC's that help you (you can find them as reinforcements and summon them at battle flags)

[@nikosxi]

@@victorperezurbano9504 So no weapons, maybe just armour. And the 4 stars I don't want exchange them for trinkets in koalas. Thank you kind stranger.

[@victorperezurbano9504]

He seems pretty hard because you're fresh in the game and not cool with the mechanics. But after being in the game for a while, he's pretty predictable and not that hard. Not saying that I would win first try, but he's def not as much as a pain in he ass as the first time. That's what she said.

[@pHixiq]

I will not lie im enjoying tf out this game 🤣

[@petyreaper]

I was watching some Wu Long streams and I realized that the more you level up the less damage you do to enemies because they are more resistant, it is a game problem or is there something they arent doing, there is something going forward the game that can be done to increase the damage? and most of them were +9 weapon and armor

[@byron5299]

There are fire spells that can give you a damage buff. i think it requires at least 12 in the fire stat.

[@sathic609]

That's why you need to increase your morale system. The higher the morale, the more damage you do to higher morale enemies. You also take less damage as well with higher morale ranks which means morale is really important even when you're high level.

[@petyreaper]

@@sathic609 it is not that the moral was full, have one that i was watching, that he have full build (su tzu one), and he have all the flags done, armor and weapons +9, and he was fighting the blindfolded guy, and every hit was taking 30 damage on the boss, that couldnt be right

[@Paulafan5]

It's much easier in this game than any other Souls game. I suck at parrying/deflecting in other Souls game (never do it in Elden Ring) but this one I actually can do. The charged attack seems to have a larger window where you can deflect than a regular attack.

[@abdulrahim2540]

@Paulafan5 I hear you but you know what I'm still not going to stop playing

[@Mykenycegaming]

Do you know if you start from where u left off in demo. Do you get those trophies? Or do we have to start over to get those early game trophies?

[@vonbryan01]

Yes it will all carry over. Trophies are also retroactively implemented. I maxed out zhao yun oath level in demo and upon playing in final version trophy pops out. So by the time i play the final game I resumed on next area after the pig boss in demo.

[@carlosshipley]

First game ive played like this. Was really happy when i defeated the first boss which took most of a day to do, then he had a second form. Cannot get passed this 😂

[@victorperezurbano9504]

Deflect, deflect and deflect! Take the first boss as a skill check that will show you how to use the basic mechanics of the game, after you beat him you will have learned and the rest of the game won't look that difficult. Once you learn to manage your spirit/ lower the bosses spirit and deflect the combat is so satisfying

[@Paulafan5]

I was stuck forever until I realized I could deflect his heavy attack and that helps to kill him quickly. His second form you just have to get him below 50% and then you can finish him off.

[@statixxz5105]

First boss seems the hardest rn gets easier after him so far the bosses not to bad but 1st boss o.p.
