[@earlyculyer4103]

Why is there no link to part 1 in description that would have been super nice.

[@darrenrowley5646]

something i just figured out is the light up candleabra things you see around. If you go near one sometimes a ghost will appear and you can follow him and his footsteps to a hidden cave you have not discovered. If there is no ghost then you probably have found it already.

[@IadosGaming]

Idk if anyone knew, but fellow slash melee players, if you two hand your weapon it's more effective against mine monsters, not bouncing off of them

[@joeb3619]

Try lighting them with your torch. Just be sure to run away quickly

@@joeb3619 Definitely a viable option too, but if anyone is panicky when dodging do be careful lmao

Went with flail for my strike damage and it solves for that and does silly things while you're horse riding

[@joserosa5342]

I just love so much Elden Ring. Way longer than Dark Souls only if u are doing exploration. Huge maps, huge underground wells, catacombs and mines.

[@xWolfBludx]

Whatsap me = SCAMMER!!!

[@Sleetysleetman]

I'm like 90 hours in and these videos are still helping me. There's a ton of little things that can get lost.

[@jacobl2222]

Put your flasks in your quick-access pouch slots. It allows you to activate them instantly at any moment, without having to cycle through the stuff in your item slots if you're also throwing pots or using other items. If you're a dummy like me, it also has the added bonus of making it very hard to accidentally flask, since it requires two button presses (on PS anyway, I don't know what the controls are on PC). Things like the lantern, telescope, etc. typically don't need to be accessed in the heat of battle, where fractions of a second can matter, so putting them in the quick access pouch is a waste.

[@The-Alcoholic-Author]

​@Lucifer_isthereal_god When you get the chance you should purchase the torch that attaches to the waist, that way you can keep your hand free for wielding a weapon/shield etc. Waist lantern isn't as bright as the torch and can't be used for attacking, but I found it useful being able to two hand or dual wield in the darker areas.

[@atsylor5549]

The attacking bear a cliff info was great. I’ve always backed off of engines near cliffs and been afraid to swing at them on narrow ledges. Because every time you do most melee attacks you creep forward

[@dungeonslug5244]

I watch a lot of these videos and hardly learn anything new at this point but I keep watching them on the off chance I do learn something. I did not know about double chugging your flask until this video. Thanks!

[@Pennywise73]

So, I can confirm that even a Soulsborne "veteran" like me still finds one or the other good tip he didn't know - such as jumping to shoot faster with the bow. Btw it should be mentioned to give Fia a hug at least one time after beating Godrick bc she has a questline and you can get a really cool armor early in the game. Thanks a lot for the great content and keep it on🤘🏻

[@joshuawicks9663]

Jumping shots also stagger if im not mistaken

[@Pennywise73]

@@joshuawicks9663 hmm,Idk but maybe - I don't jump'n shoot bc it's way too uncomfortable with the bows in the game - a Warbow like these in Assassin's Creed Origins would be great. Such a bow at least works with jump'n shoot on short range - in Elden Ring I prefer jump'n slash with my Bastard Sword😜

[@northnova1358]

I haven’t tested this but I heard the short bows let you jump & fire & land and fire, So you can get 2 shots off really quickly & it doesn’t work with the long/bigger bows! Ps, This is the the KZbin comment section we don’t have to confirm things before saying them! Cheers🖖🏼

[@Pennywise73]

@@northnova1358 I know but this was meant to Kodiak's "...and maybe some veterans of the games can find something new or interesting...." something like that,I don't know exactly🤷🏻‍♂️ - Idk what the problem is. However,here's the thing - I bought the shortbow because of its special ability Barrage and I thought this would be absolute insane mowing down enemies and bosses with Barrage on a bow and rot-,poison- or bloodarrows. But unfortunately there's no impact like when the mighty shot from the longbow hits and the Barrage that I know is more a rapid fire than shooting arrows in a short period of time without holding the button to pull - so,test it for yourself and maybe it's for you but for me it feels too weak and it also has a shorter range than the longbow. PS: it's not my first day on KZbin and we're all old enough (probably I'm way older than you think) so we don't need to teach others what or how to write,as long as it isn't toxic or insulting,right? And when I'm in the mood to confirm something that the host of the channel said in the video,I'm confirming the hell out of this comment section and nobody,except the hosts or mods of this channel,has to feel called to explain to me how the comment section works - so,are we in agreement? I think so,cheers🤘🏻🍻

Also you can farm larval tears later on in the game in Nokstella, theres a rolling ball that when defeated will drop a larval tear. Can reload the area and farm em up Update they stopped dropping for me idk what happened 😐😐

There’s something you didn’t mention when talking about the walking mausoleums (perhaps this will be a new tip for you). Mausoleums WITHOUT bells can only duplicate the lesser rememberances, whilst mausoleums WITH bells can duplicate the greater (more important) rememberances. I hope that helps people who get confused when they don’t see all the rememberances available to them. 🙂

[@alexandersong5753]

11:08 you actually can't get two of the same weapon from duplicating Remembrances since once you buy one weapon the option disappears from Enia, only the other option remains even after duplicating a remembrance

You can probably get a second copy once you go into NG+

[@shadowfall33]

Use your torch on the enemies in the mine, they will blow up. Easy way to kill them

[@davadh]

For for the longest time, I didn't know you can fast travel between the normal map and underground (Sofia River), so I would fast travel to the nearest well to go underground, and when I need to go up, I fast travel to the closet well underground and take the elevator up LOL. Of course, sometimes you're locked from fast traveling but mainly in catacombs and caves.

[@EchoF0xtrot]

there is a 3rd use for boss essences: you can "use" it from your inventory to get a boatload of rune shards. I got 20k from godricks essence, and I duplicated it at the walking mausoleum, so 40k.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Not sure if that’s a great use considering how many rune farms are out there, especially since one farm gives you around 40k a minute, but it’s good to know

[@Chron880]

At early game especially if youre struggling 40k runes is a blessing. Most of these rune farms you cant even do early game lol

[@LegacyGamingUS]

@@Chron880 Yeah, we hear you on that for a lot of players, however the 4k runes per min no combat boulder farm you can do within the first 10 minutes of the game if you wanted.

Between this and Fightincowboy's channel im full of souls knowledge keep it coming thank you guys

[@imthemoeron]

I must be literally the only person who likes normal soulsbornekiro type games much more then this open world. Sure it's a masterpiece. No denying that. But I can't help but see this game as what it is, a souls game mixed with the ubisoft open world but without map markers.

[@imthemoeron]

@Don Lobo like I said, "without map markers" lol.

[@LagunaLeonhart]

The pouch is most useful for items you use often. Therefore potions should always be in the pouch. A lantern can sit in your normal inventory equipment in the bottom left of your HUD so you can cycle to it and activate it when needed. You don't need to click it more than once per life.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

You can put your health flask in the first slot, and FP in the second. Holding down your DPad for that slot will immediately snap you back to the first item, which frees up the pouch for items that take an extra button input to access.

[@rileyfosti843]

You expect people to do 2 button presses to heal? Your drunk dude

[@LagunaLeonhart]

@@LegacyGamingUS I'd argue that pressing two buttons which are always the same for HP or FP is much easier than looking at which flask you have in the moment, pressing and holding a button down to go back to the HP flask if you're on FP and then pressing the button to replenish. Its a constant juggling act when you have enough to deal with when it comes to boss fights. Not to mention that some boss fights need a horse so that also needs to be easy to access. I have mine on my first slot so I know to hold Down and then press Square for horse all the time. Just as for me it's hold Triangle and left for FP and right for HP all the time.

[@pyromaniak2736]

def some good tips for new and old diddnt know about the jumping arrow. quick note about the flask drinking it still has a longer animation you just skipp the pulling out of the flask to start the second sip and putting it away from the first sip. what was shown on screen was a single drink so i have no idea why they replayed it and slowed it down.

[@HANGMANProject]

It should be noted that whatever keeps you from falling off ledges when attacking does NOT apply to spellcasting attacks like Haima's Canon.

That single jellyfish has been balls for me.. ive leveled it up but 💩 . The wolves tho are my boys. Sooo good, n the AI for them is excellent imo. Im only lv 30 so I have a really loooooooooong way to go still.

2:30 use Margit Shackle , bought from Patches, use it and it vanishes any fake wall in a wide area. No wall hitting or rolling for me. Well maybe rolling when you can't fight like in the Volcano Manor.

[@forrestkemner5452]

Hey, great video! I learned a lot! For Roderika you don't have to leave the round table hold after exhausting the dialogue choices between her and the blacksmith. You can just activate the table and then she should go to her place near the blacksmith.

Adding to the Walking Mausoleums, isn't there a difference in what Runes can be duplicated where depending on if it has Bells or without?

I had no idea why this game was a perfect 10 out of 10 game. After 100 hours in the game, I will admit that this is probably the best top 3 best games I ever played in my entire life. Elden ring makes Skyrim look like a little boy's playground and Legend of Zelda breath of the wild for toddlers. When you adapt to the style and rhythm of this game you will be hooked for a very long time because you start to snowball and obliterate everything that comes your way. My secret was every time I added a point into my strength stat as a hero class, I remembered the words of Margit the Fell Omen, "Put these foolish ambitions to rest." so it caused me to always remember that I need to get stronger. Every time I went fighting Dungeon bosses, overworld bosses, or catacomb bosses, I remembered the many times Margit the Fell Omen slaughtered me countless times and I didn't know when I was going to fight him again until I ran into Star scourge Radahn. After I defeated Radahn, I knew it was time to go put these foolish ambitions to rest with Margit the Fell Omen. From that point on, I started to snowball with my hero class and I been slaughtering every Elder ring boss ever since.
