ELDEN RING | The Most OP Start To The Game - Step By Step

[@LuckyGhost]

Elden Ring Beginner Guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHPChWmdodWGqM0 👈amazing I promise! Just finished beating the entire DLC and every DLC boss with this build last night! DLC Approved! TIP if you can't beat godskin noble thats ok. after he kills you, from the respawn point stay on top rather than jumping down into the lava, then find the cave that leads to a grace. touch that grace and you can tp out. from there you can choose to proceed with the game with your +6 weapon or you can try to level a little more get more sleep pots and try godskin noble again. but honestly having a +6 is plenty strong. you will find that you easily delete everything early to mid game already, you don't need 7 through 9 at this point in the game. good luck and if you have questions don't hesitate to ask, i'll keep an eye on the comments!

[@lm-pw9ul]

I've followed a 'speedrun' guide to get Bloodhound Fang to +5 with BloodFlame. Without these guides I'd give up playing the game within a few hours because I have a job and other chores in life. Can't be spending hours/Days just to try to defeat one 'boss'. The Bloodhound Fang +5 has significantly made the early game more playable 😅 Thank you. Going for Blasphemous Blade later.

[@Brian2532010]

1 minute in and I already like how you make your video here. No skipping around, just fast play with explainations and chapters if you want to skip. How elden ring videos should be done!

Also on the radagons soreseal part if you skip the fort and go to the store down south of there you can buy the beast torch so you don't die while getting the talisman

Lucky i hope to god you see this, ive waited 2 years to play Elden ring (first souls game) i said screw it im playing, followed your video. I just killed melania 51 hours with this exact build. Ive never had more fun in a video game and i just want to say thank you man. Youve restored a gaming passion in me im NG+. Thank you lucky

[@Greedisgood626]

As a 33 year old who's a first time Souls player, this guide has been massively helpful. I've looked at a dozen of guides about Elden Ring, but this has been the best by far. Kudos, and thank you so much for making the game more enjoyable for a noob like me.

[@GunfighterAlpha]

Just got Elden Ring + DLC and this guide is indispensable. I used an abridged version from someone else I found prior to this for a +5 Bloodhound, however this is far more in depth for a much more well rounded character. Will be following this right after posting the comment! Thank you so much for not only the way you delivered this, but the explanations for us 1st time Souls players. Only 10 hours in but this game is hands down an absolute masterpiece.

[@LionEphant]

I went through the punishment the first day/week the game came out.. no guide, no help, no nothing. I feel like i deserve this.. thank you so much. (it probably took me over 40 hours to get to where you got me in this guide in about an hour)

[@mehulrajopadhye]

First time elden ring and first souls game too. I’m literally going step by step with your video on a second screen. Very well made and extremely helpful and simple to follow even for a first timer like me. Great job LG

[@fAKSDFKamsdf]

Not to be that guy buuut. I recommend you experience the first playthrough on your own and try to discover things yourself. These games are usually best enjoyed that way. Then come back and use guides whenever needed for subsequent playthroughs. Of course, do what you want it's only a recommendation.

[@mehulrajopadhye]

@@fAKSDFKamsdf absolutely! your advice is well taken. In fact I’ve stopped right before the godskin noble part of the guide. Now I’m exploring lim grave in its entirety. This little boost just helps me actually play and explore without constantly dying which helps to keep me playing. Too much dying just puts me off and I tend to quit.

[@imLeyt0n]

Yeah I’m newish to these kind of games but I love the combat feels as if I’m playing sekiro, the big difference to me is the UI and the quests and POI’s are endless. What level should I be to start the new DLC?

Watched the whole guide on my day off and followed it pretty much 100% (I missed the twin imps summon somehow and had to go back to the Santa merchant to get his cracked pots) I was able to beat Godskin Noble on the first time! (On my last sleeping pot, thank god I had 4!) and this is super fun! Thanks so much for this guide. Liked and subbed on TWO accounts.

[@TheConcentrated]

Just wanted to come back and say this is such a great way to start playing elden ring. Ive been able to explore most of elden ring now, it really just opens up the game so i can adventure where i want. Chilling with the starscourge greatswords right now thanks for getting me there 😅

[@Mr.Jasaw13]

Thank you man, this was one of the best guide vids i've ever seen. Not only did you show everything in detail, without skipping anything important but you also kept motivating me, making it seem doable. I had more issues with the godskin noble boss but the path was clear and i kept hearing your reassuring voice. You deserved a sub.

[@gerald216]

Awesome. For those of us who have done the early game a few times now this is a pretty great quick start guide and using a larval tear, I can piviot in to pretty much any build I want. Thank you so much

[@JeremyRichard82]

Followed the full guide. Last attempt. Literally the last sleep pot. Victory. Only Elden Ring can give you this sense of relief and satisfaction. Great guide! I did get the nearby Site of Grace though. For that after your initial "roll down" drop onto the lava there is a ladder at the end of that section but the ladder is on the left side of a balcony that you will be facing, so you'll have to look for it from a building top where you got Somber Smithing Stone 6 (I think). Climb the ladder, go all the way to the end then make the 90 degree jump to the other balcony and the Grace will be in the door on the left.

[@ReleaseTheEvil]

Really struggling to make that jump

@@Juliowasheree then watch the video

[@Endgame392]

New to Elden Ring, and had played about 10 hrs or so before I found this. It probably took me 5-6 hrs to get through this video, a good part of that trying to find places you didn’t really explain, in fact I couldn’t even find the wondrous flask upgrade near the end that you say is at a place, but you don’t show picking up at all. That’s fine, I’ll find it eventually. While I did watch all of it, I stopped after getting to the final boss zone for a break. I appreciate all the time you put into making this. It’s definitely hard to follow in some places, but it’s doable. This is my first dark souls type game, so needless to say, it’s an adjustment from most rpgs these days. I do wish there was some type of quest journal, because I started multiple quests following this that I’m sure I’ll forget about. I do wish there was some hint in game as to where the natural progression should be. Before this, I was mostly just wandering around aimlessly, finding myself in places I probably wasn’t equipped to handle. Which is what led me here. I guess I’ll have to find a quest wiki. My final thought will be a bit of advice to new players reading this who play on pc. Use a game pad. It definitely made it less difficult for me. Thanks again for the guide.

[@Onidown666]

Just got done. 10/10 walkthrough. Took me a few hours in total, although I ran off and explored and beat some bosses for 30ish hours lol but I had to come back in finish it at volcano manor. This build is a blast and it’s op even before finishing it.

[@prescottgaming182]

It took me accumulatively 10 hours over a course of 3 days but this dude really knows how to put in the hard work so that we don't have to. Deserved sub.

[@lm-pw9ul]

Yes because these guide videos are usually recorded at 1.5-2x speed and don't take mistakes into account. I've tried following a '30 minutes' guide but in the end it took me around 3 hours. So I can safely assume this one will take at least a whole day or 2-3 days for me but I think it would be worthwhile because my Bloodhound Fang +5 improved my DMG significantly after following a different guide. Hopefully this guide will improve my character even more. I don't even care if I can't play this game 'normally' because I don't wanna spend hours/days just to defeat one 'boss' as I have a job and other chores in life.

[@Mr.Jasaw13]

🎉

[@forgedghost1062]

I legit think this is a great guide but to a lot of first time players I suggest forget the guide and explore on your own but maybe come back for a 2nd or 3rd. There is only a "first time" and I think the purest way is to embrace the adventure and the unknown.

[@everythingtankpit]

Id loosely follow it until around the 28min mark then play as normal. Decent weapon you don’t have to use couple level ups decent talisman couple extra flasks and upgrade stuff if you choose to use it then play. It’ll decrease difficulty slightly but you won’t be stupid OP not learning anything. Maps will be easier to explore and traverse as well with some graces and fragments

[@basantbc]

Damn I just started my first soul series with Elden ring n omg how did I ended up here. I have a job n family and I can’t. 😂😂😂😂

[@lm-pw9ul]

If I have all the time in the world just to play this game then I'd play normally (never happens in RPG games for me because time is too precious) but I'm working/have a job and other chores in life so I choose the time-saving methods. Without these guides I'd probably stop/give up playing the game within a few hours and never touch it ever again.

Bro I watched your vids for elder scrolls and now Im getting back into Elden ring and wanted a samurai build then BOOM 💥 lucky ghost pops up yesssssir man I needed this

[@Jagonath]

A very concise video, it only took me one hour (ahem nine hours) to complete. Now I'm... slightly less stoppable! Take that, game!

[@F4R4D4Y]

Ty. When I played Elden Ring two years ago, everyone it seemed was all about getting the sword of Night and Flame first. I like this version better because Bloodhound Fang is great 👍. I haven't touched Elden Ring in two years. This guide encourages me to jump back in.

[@minthouse6338]

How I easily killed the godskin nobel is this, use Rotten Stray Ashes as a summons. That dog's bite causes bleed same as your bloodhound fang weapon. Hit the godskin noble a few times and let him get bit a few times. Then keep running away from godskin to stay alive and drink health flasks when needed. The bleed he's infected with will eventually kill him. Upgrading your Rotten Stray will help too. I actually killed him with only one hit from my halberd, it was all done with my dog biting him.

[@beardedlonewolf7695]

These guides are amazing, good flow and it makes the game less tedious especially on a new build, thank you.

[@ghastlydaghoul]

Another warning about Godskin Noble. After you die the first time, You now have to traverse the fog, in which case he's just waiting for you and gives you no time to cast your stuff. So he'll probably kill you. And after you've traversed the fog and are in the room already, the guy outside can reach and hit you if you stay close to the door. Godskin can also hit you through the pillars in the room with his sword. So standing behind those won't help. So just run and roll a lot. I've wasted 9 sleeping pots now. Not sure if I'll try again.

[@LuckyGhost]

Sleep him first. Lasts 60 seconds . Plenty of time to buff. Definitely step away from door so guy doesn't hit you through the wall from behind. Once you get the hang of the sleep pots it's easy street

[@Mr.Juggernog]

@@LuckyGhost For me it only seems to last like 15 seconds

[@mikecat6291]

​​@@LuckyGhostit's getting the hang of the sleeping pots while his rapier can hit you from twenty feet away and the music is telling you to pee your pants that's the problem. That's not even mentioning the blob roll he goes into after your second attack that is sure to have you messing up all the precise controller work involved here. It's not impossible though. I FINALLY did it after ten attempts (thank God we farmed those Lillies!). I just kept telling myself like Anthony Hopkins says in The Edge, "What one man can do another can do!"

I got the game as a gift on Xbox S when it first came out, 500 hours of gameplay. I got all the endings, but now I have a PS5, and I wanted to enjoy the DLC at a higher fps and resolution; unfortunately, there's no cross-save progression, and this is the fastest way I might be able to beat Mogh to play the DLC. It saved me a lot of time. Thanks

[@Marwolaeth01]

Pretty much the same. 100% on PS4 but decided to go PC route for the DLC since have recently started accepting that I can use a controller on there. Unfortunately means starting over and cannot be bothered to do that from basic again, so this guide will help give me the boost I need.

The "don't panic, stay calm" advice during the Godskin fight was very helpful 😂. I absolutely pissed my pants and threw 16 sleep bombs into the columns in the room, while slashing away at this maniacal blob with my dinky little dagger instead of my Bloodhound because I kept forgetting to switch out. There's just no way NOT to panic when you're facing one of the hardest bosses in the game with 18 vigor and have to hit him with finite resources with pinpoint accuracy! That said, this is one of THE best guides on YT and completely doable if you take the four or five hours to follow it step by step. The investment is worth the reward.

I first purchased Elden ring when it came out and played for like a couple hours then got bored or lost, I heard the DLC was coming out and thought why not try again.

[@Ciferos]

Nice guide, but admittedly it will take much longer than an hour, if you play the game normally. A note on the Volcano Manor: I found myself that I could not beat the Godskin noble with described set up, maybe I have clunky fingers, it is a better idea to follow after the initial jump down, all the way to the ladder on the end of the area, climb up, jump over the balcony and activate that grace. (Guest Hall Grace) Also you can now return, level up and try again! Before that you can follow the way described here, but just before the Godskin Noble go to the left and activate the bridge, so you can reach the boss from the other side! Because every time you loose to the Godskin noble you have to start over and it is really frustrating.

[@TheD3adH3itz]

Your guide got me stuck 😂😂 so much for an easy guide. The whole plan is around sleep pots but what happens when the boss makes you waste them all and then you can’t leave because you don’t show us the alternate route for those that can’t beat the boss

[@docproc144]

Another tip for new players is to use a shield. A decent 100% shield can be incredibly useful for some bosses or just general exploration, and I usually carry one or keep it close at hand in any build I make should the need arise. Any kite or heater shield will have 100% physical damage reduction, meaning you will take no damage from physical attacks while blocking. They’re also fairly light, not putting too much burden on your equip load. A solid early option is the Beast Crest Heater Shield, which is located in a chest in the encampment right below where he grabbed the Golden Vow Ash of War in this video. It’s near the Warmaster’s Shack Site of Grace. Another slightly heavier but overall better option for a shield is the Brass Shield, which is statistically one of the best medium shield in the entire game. It’s the big gold Dorito looking shield you see the Godrick soldiers carrying around. You can easily farm it from the soldiers at the Gatefront Ruins where he picked up the Whetstone Knife at the beginning of the video. For Ashes of War I would either use “No Skill,” which can be bought from Bernahl at Warmaster’s Shack so you can quickly use the Bloodhound’s Fang Ash of War without two handing it, or “Barricade Shield,” which drops from the Night’s Cavalry boss at the Castle Morne Rampart Site of Grace in Weeping Peninsula, keep in mind it must be night time for them to spawn. Barricade Shield increases the guard boost on your equipped shield and allows you to block most attacks with ease, even from larger enemies and bosses. With the Barricade Shield AOW on the Brass Shield you’ll be pretty tanky and will have really high guard boost while blocking. Combine that with guard counters and the high damage from the upgraded Bloodhound’s Fang and you’ll be in business.

[@gunm808]

For Bloodhound Knight you will need to double team him because Blaidd can't take him on by himself. If you let Blaidd "tank" and attack from behind it should go pretty well. For the somber smithing stone 6 in volcano manor, you don't have to do any of the parkour or go that more dangerous route---just run around the building the stone is on and there's a dirt incline you can just run up and get on the roof that way. Much quicker and safer. Once you get to the point of the guide where you are tackling the Godskin Noble, you are actually pretty much ready to kill Margit and Goddrick if you don't mind using the summons and want to get them out of the way.

[@nyskating]

Awesome video helped me a bunch as a newer player but i have to admit i could not do the strat right for godskin noble and i can't kill him i missed my sleep pots in a panic :(

Bloodhound’s Fang is so OP it’s not even funny lol. The fact that you can get it and upgrade it at the very start of the game is insane. It’s probably the most beginner friendly weapon in the entire game imo. It’s got so much going for it as a weapon: it does great damage, has innate bleed buildup, it can be buffed with spells like Bloodflame Blade, it takes Somber Stones rather than regular smithing stones as upgrade materials so it can be maxed faster, it’s Ash of War has great utility and can be used as a dodge for mobility and it gives you a few seconds of i-frames, and it’s not written in the game description but it also has like a 10% native boost to jump attacks that stacks with the Claw Talisman which can also be obtained early in Stormveil. All in all, it’s a freaking fantastic weapon that’s a serious contender for all around best in the game tbh. It’ll essentially carry you through the entire game and NG+ without the need to ever swap it out, unless you’re just getting bored of it and want to try something else. A cool pairing for it is Morgott’s sword you get from his Remembrance, as it’s another curved greatsword with innate bleed damage. You can equip it in your off hand to have a dual wield power stance moveset, which is really strong. Morgott’s sword also takes Somber Stones to upgrade, and should work just fine until you get into NG+ and have access to another Bloodhound’s Fang.

Finishing the last part of the guide in the morning but thank you so much dude, I had wasted all of my Trina lilies that you showed me how to get and lost all hope but after hunting them down to different times after losing them again I beat him lol

[@LuckyGhost]

nice work man! that determination will serve you will in Souls-likes! It can get hard sometimes, but man the thrill of victory is like nothing else!

[@ganj9217]

Heck yeah thank you so much for the reply as well, that is awesome. Honestly your guide and how you go about explaining everything in a calm and legible manner is S Tier game guiding. You have gained a loyal subscriber and follower. Have a blessed Friday LuckyGhost, will definitely continue to reference your vids for help to get through any tuff parts that I can't seem to figure out on my own... 🎉🎉🎉.​..@@LuckyGhost

How can the guy help me to beat the one boss who has the overpowerd sword ?

[@andresperez4061]

Just watched the beginners guide and it was super helpful, I’m looking forward to the videos in the future 💪

[@LuckyGhost]

Awesome, thank you! I appreciate that!

[@GRV-00]

Have watched this one as well and currently preparing for the first boss fight. I'M HYPED!! Thank you very much for this, LuckyGhost! Was wondering whose voice was I listening to while watching these amazing videos because it sounded familiar and realized you sound just like Wacky Jacky 101! 😆(also an amazing content creator; made helpful tutorial videos for PUBG). Cheers to more awesome contents!

[@TeverTV]

Excellent Guide! I followed without any issues. Great OP build, and fun to explore. Feels like a quick tour of the key areas of the game lol. I will say though, in the video it was said that there would be shown a way out of Volcano Manor. I had to jump to a different video to find the closest grace to get out. That being said, this was an amazing guide! Thank you

[@sameerchitrasedu5628]

Thank you so much this build carried me to good part of the dlc with new account even though I got new weapons I sometimes used same build when I struggle

[@maiafay]

I was stuck at the manor with the godskin boss but I managed to do it with no pots and level 5 imps. Figured RNG would favor me eventually. Butt clenching though. I was on twenty HP and ended up just being faster than him to land that hit. Whew. 😥

[@LuckyGhost]

That is dark souls and elden ring in a nutshell, the thrill of a close victory. Nice work man! That's not an easy fight without pots at low level!

[@elpresidentegg7246]

I bought this game on release and always put off playing it, now with patches most guides are out of date, this couldn't have come at a better time right when I decided to give it a go.

[@emberogames]

I started several times but it didn't click for me. Maybe this guide / build will kick it off.

[@LuckyGhost]

Good luck! Hope it helps!

Awesome video! Followed it up step by step. Thanks you so much! Now we need a follow up video of how to upgrade this build for end game and dlc

[@kaboose77]

Just got this game 2 days ago and found this before before I set it on fire in my backyard 😅 Can’t wait finish this OP run (will likely take me a week)! The first thing I’m doing is going back to the start and MURDERING that Centennial dude 😂 TY, “all heroes don’t wear capes” but you should buy one!

[@NucOps]

Literally cannot beat the boss at 43:50 the game wont let me use more than 2 sleeping pots and I never get bleed procs. Pissing me off since I've already used all my flowers. Followed the entire guide and can't deal anywhere near the damage you are. W

@@LuckyGhost yeah I had to do that and then I went back and still cant do it lol...idk why it doesn't let me throw more than 1 sleep potion. That's the only reason I'm dying

[@LuckyGhost]

@@NucOps how many cracked pots did you collect? You should have at least 3. If you only have one then you can only craft one sleep pot at a time

[@kazi6343]

Would you please make an upgrade guide for this build. I started as a vegabond and went through the build. I am wondering which gear would be good to pair with the build?

[@B0xER911]

New to Elden ring and souls games in general. I do need a starting boost guide, but I wonder if this one is too much? Could it ruin the experience, giving you so many tips and locations without you thinking anything? Like after completing it, would I still have what to grind towards and explore on my own or is it just a fast forward to the DLC kind of guide?

[@krbaker89]

thank you lucky ghost! happy to see you cover elden ring too been following ya since i started on ESO 5 years ago. love the content!

[@LuckyGhost]

thanks a ton! glad you are still enjoying the content :D

This was sooo worth it and so fun to do😂😂😂😂 started at 6pm last night and finished it this morning 😂😂😂

[@madLEGOman13]

Super cool guide. My first time playing. Nearly gave up after failing several attempts vs the godskin noble. Finally made it through with my final batch of six pots with only 3 to spare. Very stressful boss fight, but your guide was indespensible. Probably ought to have mentioned locking on to the boss first for us newbie pot throwers, but hey. Maybe also link a vid of that escape route you mentioned for those that were not so lucky. Also noticed after grabbing somber 7 stone, how did you raise that bridge? For now i’m just teleporting out of here. Thanks!

Was thinking to play Elden Ring and this video was recommended. Thanks for the info.

Amazing guide bro! Truly appreciate all the information and tips/tricks you put into this video. I’m a brand new FromSoftware game player and I must admit I got stuck towards the end against that boss where you need the sleep potions for lol I ran out and am not sure what to do now. I can’t get back out to make more can I?
