This is an amazing guide for anyone wanting to start off fairly strong in Elden Ring, gives you kind of a soft launch into the game, and this video was very well made as well as thought through. Thanks for this guide!

[@ryokugyu1899]

Best guide I've ever seen not just in Elden Ring but in every game ever. Nice job! Earned a like and a sub.

[@Key_and_Quill]

This is a really solid guide. For anyone willing to spend just a little more time, there are a few relatively easy things you can do to take this guide up a notch. 1. You can get a Flail from one of the carriages at Gatefront; this will be useful later. 2. Go to Weeping Peninsula for more Golden Seeds and Sacred Tears, as well as the Poison Mist spell near Castle Morne; this will also be useful later. 3. Once you get to Caelid, instead of going right at the end of the bridge where Flying Dragon Greyll resides, go left for another graveyard with higher level golden runes; follow the spirit spring down and then back into the tower to get a Memory Stone, and abuse the Iron Ball rune farm on the hill going down from the tower; you can use these runes to meet the stat requirements for the Flail, Poison Mist, Bloodflame Blade, and even the Bloodhound Fang. 4. Once you're set up with a Sacred Seal, Poison Mist, Bloodflame Blade, and the Flail, you can farm the elder dragon Greyoll for runes. Poison her with one cast of Poison Mist, coat the Flail in Bloodflame, and then use the default AoW on the Flail to get the fastest hemorrhage procs I've discovered. Once you get the dragon past half health, drink a Cerulean Flask, reapply Bloodflame Blade, and go back to using the AoW. When you get her down to one final chunk of health, get back on Torrent, finish off the dragon, then ride back to the grace and rest. You'll get the runes, Greyoll will still be there, and you can repeat this loop indefinitely. If you can craft Gold-Pickled Fowl Feet, or you're brave enough to tackle one of the caves in Caelid (can't remember the name at the moment) to get the Gold Scarab talisman, you can increase your rune gains significantly. I wish I had the equipment to record my own guides, but since I don't, I figured this would suffice; I hope it helps!

[@Cartesson11]

Amazing

[@TheOneAboveAII]

[@lslurpeek]

cant stand godskin duo!

[@30fpsguy]

6:10 you can activate that grace on the bridge and farm the little creatures at early game (the one equipped with halberd hacksaw) for runes. They're not tanky and easy to deal with. I think they dropped 1k souls each. Though you have to be careful because the can 1 shot you if you're a low level. That's my farming spot at early game.

[@ResoluteSpark]

You’d be better off using the ball near Lenna’s Rise since it gives you 1900 for no effort at all. And then once you defeat Godrick, you can talk to Varre to get into Moghwyn Palace to farm the bird by the ledge. The militia men aren’t worth it early game.
