Elden Ring's Platinum Pushed My Limits!

Elden Ring's Platinum Pushed My Limits! In this video, I went for Elden Ring's Platinum Trophy! This is only my 2nd FromSoftware game so it definitely had me raging a bit. The only other FromSoftware game I got the platinum trophy for is Bloodborne, so I'm still new to the soulsborne platinum trophy process. Either way, I hope you enjoyed this video!

You deserve massive praise for your improvement, comparing your Margit footage to your Maliketh footage it's clear you improved a lot in just one playthrough. You went from rolling away from Margit to figuring out you can stand under Maliketh's overheads to hit him. Most people don't even realize strafing and positioning are valid defensive options.

[@nick_ar]

You’re welcome 🙂

[@MJH72996]

You skipping over the Fire Giant was so funny to me because I watched my friend struggle for days to beat him

[@TheGravityShifter]

I think the Tree Sentinel is my favorite open world boss in the game. Since you see him in the beginning after the tutorial bit, he makes the perfect teacher in the game that tells you that you don't need to fight every enemy you first encounter. It' encourages you to learn you have decisions in this game. If you can't win, just leave and come back stronger. It also teaches not everything you see has to be fought.

[@THECHEZZYLIPS]

I'm so glad you're blowing up man, your dedication is truly unbelievable. This line is cheesy as hell, but you really are like an anime protagonist. Insane willpower and determination over god-given skill or talent. I'm pretty dang good at Elden Ring, and have played every Souls-like game I can get my hands on, yet you have the Elden Ring Platinum and I don't. Same with Hollow Knight. As a side note, have you ever considered doing Nioh 2? It's funny because the platinum isn't hard relative to the game, but Nioh 2 itself is punishing and insanely challenging. It's also an amazing game, and my personal favorite game of all time. So if you're interested, I would highly recommend.

[@nick_ar]

Thank you! Also I may do nioh 2 one day

Congratulations on getting the Platinum! While this isn't the hardest Souls game to platinum, it's definitely not easy either.

[@moz6388]

I think I know why that dude left you. First, obviously maybe he wanted to completely solo her. Second, there's a hidden mechanic in the game where if you shoot at that boss from a distance the game would punish you by making Malenia do that dance attack. It's a completely intended mechanic that forces players to fight the strongest swordswoman hand to hand and punishes those who try to trivialize her by shooting from afar. So in other words, although he was making good progress on the boss, you were actively making the boss harder and harder by shooting at her lmao. Maybe that's why he left. That actually made me laugh so hard when I saw it, as soon as you said I shoot at her with a bow I was like "oh hell no!" lol.

I just found your channel today. Already watched most of your videos. I really love it. Subscribed for more. I have some questions: 1. How do you have so much time to play games? Do you have a job or go to university or something as well? 2. What type of trophies are your favourites to do? Like the condition/objectives to get a trophy. 3. Do you only care for trophies when playing games? I wonder, if there was no trophy for beating the game and you could get all the trophies by the middle of it, would you bother to finish the rest of the game? 4. If there were no trophies at all for the game would you even bother playing it? 5. Why aren't you interested in DLC trophies? 6. How old are you?

[@nick_ar]

1. I’ve done yt for a living since 2019 so I can stay home and play/work on videos everyday 2. I like difficulty trophies as long as they’re fairly challenging and not cheaply unfair 3. If I’m enjoying the game I’ll continue to play it to the end even if it wasn’t necessary 4. For some games I wouldn’t bother playing them, usually indie titles that I’m not that interested in but most games I’ve been playing recently I would play with/without trophies 5. I don’t care for dlc cause I just like to get platinums. I’ll get dlc for games I really like or if I think the dlc trophies would be fun but other than that I don’t go for them 6. I’m 22
