[@giantWario]

I'm glad you had a good time Kevin. The ending where you're so happy to have killed the boss is exactly why people play those games despite the difficulty and steep learning curve, it makes you feel so accomplished and you can actually feel yourself becoming a bit better with every death. By the way, the flail wasn't broken it's just that you didn't have the stats to use it but don't worry too much about that, most weapons in Fromsoft games, even the starting weapons, can carry you through to the end. Almost no weapon is ever objectively bad, it's just about how the weapons fit your playstyle.

[@chuckn4851]

I mean he should def pay attention to the stats but otherwise for sure agreed

[@Bethynaee]

Kevin! As a souls veteran, it's extremely sweet watching your first experience with elden ring. It makes me really happy to see that you are having fun! A small tip that's gonna be really helpful but I'm sure you've had others tell you by now are backstabs and how to do them!. When you go behind an enemy you can press RB to do a light attack! It triggers a sequence (You also can't be damaged by any other enemies while in it) where you stab them in the back, do loads of damage and knock the enemy down too! giving you loads of time to apply more pressure! :D i hope that's helpful and I'd love to see you continue this. Like others have said, souls is about trial and error, with every death you get better and when you climb the gargantuan cliffs and peaks the game throws at you, you feel exhilarated, it would be awesome to see you experience that feeling more.

[@Bethynaee]

Also if you feel like your roll is too slow! You can de-equip some armour or change it to something lighter so you can roll faster :3

[@noah9942.]

As a veteran of the series, you did really well for a beginner. And I'm not just saying that to compliment you, you actually did. Using guard counters, sneaking up on enemies for a backstab, knowing when to fight or run are huge things that I've seen many people not pick up on and quit because of it.

Sorry but no, he didn't do well. The "backstabs" weren't even backstabs, he didn't try to understand stamina, he never rolled and only got kills through enemies being staggered and spamming heals. And that would all be completely fine if the game didn't have a tutorial explaining its core mechanics, but it does. I'm guessing he probably skipped it. But then again maybe Kevin is actually an extremely skilled player and he's trolling us masterfully by pretending to be bad xD

[@speedb.bernard5404]

Kevin in case you want to continue the game here are some tips: 1.You can hit R1 insted of R2 for a faster atack (also known as a light atack). 2.You doge by rolling in this game (clicking sircle). The best way to doge in this gamr is to role into the enemy or around them becous of the way hitboxes work (do not doge before the initiate the atack animation) . 3. Your character is preforming whats known as "a Fat rolle" or "a slow rolle" to role faster you need to take off one of the weapons you have on you. 4.Your character has 2 weapons a Halibard (a spear like weapon that does trust atacks) and a sword (The one you're currently using) I whould sugest taking off the halibard to move faster and using a sword since its faster and easyer to use. 5. Lck on: by locking on the camera follows the character by it's self. You lock on by clicking R3 (or the right stick on the controler) . Thats all I hope you have fun and i was really impresed by how far you got with out rolling. Good luck.
