Elden Ring: The Noob's Guide Part 1 (Ultimate Beginner Guide)

[@johntabor2619]

You can't look up things you have no idea exist, so videos like this really help show you things you would have never known

[@DevinHoyt]

Yeah this game was kinda 💩 for that reason if this game came out in the early 2000s like when god of war first became a thing no one would know half of this stuff

[@cutterman3300]

This is my first youtube comment, but this is such a good guide I cant help but make a suggestion for the people like me that didnt get into it until now. This is my first Souls game, but this should help you save time. 1. Do everything he does, except waste time on the somber 7 stone, there is a dip in the rocks where you drop down in Volcano Manor, where he drops was patched, dont waste time on the ledge jump, just accept youre not getting the 7 yet. 2. Dont waste time farming the dragon for runes. When he levels his sword to +9 pause the guide, and go to the Atlus Highway Junction grace to farm and practice. Be careful at night, that night calvary is a pain in the ass. As long as you dont get too close you wont agro it. There is a variety of enemies in the area for you to practice fighting on horseback and on foot(including a knight you can get the brass shield from, 3 1100xp trolls you can practically get to kill themselves, riders on horseback, foot soldiers with shield and spears, and one of those brass head mfs.) Its not the best as far as rune per minute farming, but the time you save not attempting the jump and the dragon, you can spend mastering the timing of weapon and its skill, and how the camera moves when locked on. After an hour or two, when I got comfortable fighting the knight on the platform (without falling off or getting hit, on horseback and on foot) I easily leveled vigor str and dex to 25, if you want something else to dump levels in, youll be abusing bloodhound finesse, so throw in some focus(I got faith to 12 because I know I'm using poison mist at some point.) Then go back to the guide after you've leveled and got your 6+ or... 3. This is where I got cocky and decided to fight Margit before continuing the guide, just to see if I had actually gotten better, and if I really missed out that much not getting the +9. Beat him first time with the floor summon and the wolf summon. They distract him enough you can finnesse him to death. By now you should know the timing of the L2 R2. I still have 30 min left in the next video and I'm not making another comment on the other video. 1. Dont R2 Patches, you will kill him. 2. Kill the monkeys before you try to talk to the NPC, they will follow you apparently and people are killing him accidentally, if you do he drops a golden seed. 3. You have to travel to another grace, then back at night for the shack, even if you didnt fight Margit like I did, this mini boss battle is as easy is he makes it look if you did what I told you in the first video. As soon as he begins materializing you can lock on, and as soon as you can lock on you can begin the first strike of the BHF, 2 full BHF will stagger him, appreciate how easy that was and finish him. 4. Theres also an ash of war where the jellies are.

[@drewziegler9881]

If you roll off you usually won’t die

[@stompingpeak2043]

@Kirk Way you can still do the jump if you line it up right and do the jump pause(it'll make you instantly sprint over having the normal ramp up. So you get enough speed to barely make the jump). Now if you still can't do the jump with the menu buffer you can always just kill the godskin noble and just walk to the somber 7. It's not too difficult.

[@seajuss7318]

@Kirk Way there is one in farum azula but you have to use some cheeky mechanics to even get there look up farum azula wrong warp

I have to thank you so very much for this. I'm a 46 year old longtime gamer and i got this game about a month ago.I was really excited but my lack of experience and knowledge quickly put the breaks on my efforts. I'd give it a go every day but I was SO lost. Never played any fromsoft games at all ever before this, and to me this was a difficult game experience because I just didn't have a clue what I was supposed to be doing or what anything did. Sure I read up on it but alotta things were just simply to geared towards previous souls games players so the basics they'd cover were kinda way over the heads of the basics I needed to get how it all connected. I found this vid when my char was a lvl 16 vagabond and getting creamed by the golden knight daily and that boss I think stunted my thinking cause I didn't realize the trap it was and thought damn if in getting roflstomped this bad already by an opening boss maybe I just cant handle these newer games. This vid though was so accurately detailed and you always took time to explain the plot behind the actions. Not just the what's but the whys and that turned around everything for me. Just finished the first vid and this included me taking 3 hours on the volcano jump (no joke I didn't realize it had been nerfed since the release). The rest though went quite quickly and really helped me learn important stuff like opening battle moves and stuff maybe taken for granted by the experienced souls gamers but totally unknown to noob me. I cant thank you enough because I knew there was something special about this game, was why I kept trying, and this opened the curtains to just how special it just might be, I just needed a compass and a crash course in the basics and the goals. And getting to gut stomp that golden *#$@ at the end was like... Heaven. Again thanks, this went a bit long but this really mattered and helped me to enjoy this finally, and also to give me the foundation ill need for future characters and playthroughs. Much respect bro.

Agreed for Example I have never played a souls game before, I went wretch as I love role playing games (wow maybe not) I had a hard time with this game but with a lot of careful grinding and dying I have explored a lot got to level 30 with several plus 4 weapons and the hold open that said I am 10 hours in watching the vid to figure out ashed of war as the game does a pretty terrible job at explaining you cannot use ashes of war with your shield equipped, jump attacks are badly explained as well in fact combat in general is no where near as intuitive as other games though it is satisfying when it comes off. Another thing that is not really explained is encumbrance even a silly thing like selling my wooden torch for a wire one was a bad idea as it is twice the weight, you need to think like a lightweight backpacker in this game if you want to be nimble. Anyway thanks for the very well explained tips bro, honestly it is a lifesaver the whole Souls players know this is kinda B.S. Souls is such a Niche which hopefully has expanded massively due to this game. This reminds me of trying to play metal gear solid on japanned import and still completing the game

Before I went I leveled the Bloodhound fang to 6 and could two shot the enemies at Farum Azula with the sword chain attack. There are several graces along the way not to mention the enemies here give you over 1200 runes each. I pulled them with bone darts one at a time. Then at the dragon section after first grace just run past right between his legs. Thank you Jumpin for all your videos.

This was the best guide EVER! Monster machine kept sending me to Volcano land before I could pick up stuff. Never successfully made it off the cliff either. But still way to much fun! Never thought I could play a Souls game. My #1 son and 15 yo grandson gave me Elden Fire 2 weeks ago and I'm level 15! My sons gave me a PlayStation in 2017 because I saw No Mans Sky and thought it was beautiful and a good place to start. Been playing (way too much! Lol) since. I'm a 72 year old Nana of 4 beautiful grandkids. #2 Son gave me a PS 5 for Christmas. Bioshock, Witcher, Fallout 4, Assasin's Creed and Last of Us my fav. Just got Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Thanks for giving me the courage to try this. But I'm not brave enough to join multiplayer, lol. Finished Noob 1 & on my way to the next Noob!

I would like to say thank you for this tutorial. My daughter gave me this game for Father's day and after a few hours I still could barely get through the first tutorial without almost dying. I have almost exclusively played First Person Shooters and I could not figure out why this thing would not swing when I wanted or even how to guard properly. Especially since so many games I've played had an instant strike. I watched 4 or 5 videos on how to fight even and it seemed like they always took for granted that the viewer already knew how to fight. I mean seriously, so many videos and I I still couldn't guard strike. You were the first tutor that said, "So just put your shield up and stand there until they hit you. Then hit them back!" I was so anticipating the reflex reactionary timing of a point and shoot i thought you had to time the guard perfectly so I was getting slammed for an couple of hours. I mean I love a challenge but the gameplay was so foreign I just couldn't even progress. I was ready to smile and say I liked it to my daughter and hope she just eventually forgot about it. I am only 1/2 way through the video but I'm really starting to understand the mechanics enough to really enjoy playing. I thank whole heartedly. I mean really there is nothing sadder than your kid saying, "If you don't like it,you can take it back." Honestly, she said she was sorry to me twenty times in the first 2 hours. It was so disheartening. But now I can't wait to show her my improvement. I mean it. This tutorial is really a game changer for me.

[@ashketchum1244]

That was so sweet to read, how are you doing 3 days later? I've also never played a souls game and I'm half way thru the guide, it's helping me a lot because I was so clueless before. I think after this episode il start exploring on my own, because people told me that's part of the magic of the game

[@Spillane001]

@@ashketchum1244 Thanks. I have gone through most of this. I started with samurai but wanted to start *originally* with prisoner because I think the iron mask is hilarious. So I restarted and really like it. The Estoc is really quick to strike so it makes fighting seem more temporal. I saw a video were a guy was complaining about lagging melee issue but it makes sense when wielding a really heavy weapon you can't re-aim because of inertia. But I also found a "farm" where there is a bunch of individual little enemy kinda guys that 1 strike kill and have different weapons for practice melee. And two bonuses is they are really close to grace so if you die you can easily get your runes back but also they are 1000 runes each! But yeah I'm really digging this. I still can't fight without locking on but I'm getting a lot better with timing. Anyway this is a long reply. But have fun.

1:50:21 lol. Like many in the comments, I didn't read the comments and spent 1 hour trying to make the jump. haha! Then I searched to try and hear someone else explain the jump and found out the patch history. I ended up farming giants to level up my dex to continue on with episode 2's boss battles. Today, I went to Crumbling Farum Azula via False Warp and got the somber 7! So now I'm well equipped to keep on learning the game from this tutorial walkthrough. Thank you for making it!

Amazing guide. Could not make the jump to get somber smithing stone 7, but got the bloodhound fang up to +6. Deals great damage. Killing the old dragon yielded 100k runes, so leveled up to 40. Could not get the brass shield to drop, after 3 hours farming. Killed tree sentinel for golden halberd on 2nd try. Great video for a path to an excellent start in the game.

[@ArmandQ.]

Yeah, I've been following you for years, ever since I needed a guide for the original Dark Souls.

You are getting better and better, and family friendly it seems, you used to swear a lot back then 😁

[@cloudstrife2420]

Im sure I’m just one of many who realized too late that the stone 7 jump has been patched, but there is still a way, I managed to beat godskin at this low level using 4 sleeping pots, from there you can follow another KZbin guide avoiding enemies all the way to the stone. I urge my fellow noobs to use that method and not give up on the stone 🎉

You can cheese jump up Renna's tower early to warp to a region that will give you access to somber 7s. Otherwise just defeat the noble with your plus 6 bloodhound fang and proceed through the manor without the jump skip. The weapon he uses is plenty powerful at plus 6 as I found during my first playthrough following this guide. Also you can use weapon greases and buffs on it unlike any other somber weapon in the game.

Having watched this video for pretty much 2 hours straight I was super frustrated to be one of the many noob players completely unaware of the Volcano Manor patch / issues / difficulties. It even seems like now the Talisman you get before going into VM doesn't act in the same way it used to and the drop from the cliff at the front (for me at least) only ends in death. I'm guessing this means I'm essentially now stuck having to work through Volcano Manor as my first "real" experience in this game? Being that everything up until this point has been prepping?!

[@aranthos]

For those curious about volcano manor: 1. To not die when you fall, try to drop onto the solid ground below. If you fall directly between the two small slabs of land at the bottom it seems to cause instant death. Fall either side and you live. 2. The wheel jump to get the somber smithing stone 7 does not work anymore as it’s been patched. There is a glitch for pc to get one somewhere else but other than that if you’re playing on a console you’ll need to wait until you’re good enough to kill the skin god and just get it in the sewers later.
