Ultimate Beginners Guide To Elden Ring 2024! Walkthrough To Get An Amazing Head Start

[@youwy]

This video is for all the people that come into my twitch chat asking for tips and how to start the game. Also I didn't mention it in the video but there is a way to farm Greyoll (the big dragon). If you run back to the grace soon as she dies then you'll get the runes and she respawns.

[@ramrodbldm9876]

How do you know that the other ppl that put out videos only have 50 hours playtime? Just cause you sat in a basement and played for 2500 hours doesn't mean that the "actual souls youtubers" that have 1000 hours in aren't 100 times better than you. You could probably play some meta PvP though if you use your nose as an extra finger. I can't believe you even show yourself looking like that 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@tyrellwreleck4226]

I can't believed i played this game the hard way. (Didn't played the tutorial, battled the tree sentinel+margit+other bosses for days, not being to unequip the halberd weapon, so on and so forth). Thank god i found this channel. It's not the first time i watched a video on this channel because i also watch some of lies of p's tips and tricks but damn, i'll gonna be sticking to these vids for more fun.

[@Nikolai-pf1dm]

I think its a shame for a guide video aimed towards new players to basically make them skip the entire early game. Youve basically outleveled Limgrave before youve even played the game.

[@mobius1504]

does this glitch still work?

[@joeych1202]

@@Nikolai-pf1dmnah man, you must remember that this is for total beginners to elden ring and probably any souls like game ever, just like me, played hack n slashs and arpgs for years but not once a souls like game. This video goes quick on getting you some items, while explaining the basics along the way, without much spoilers too! its making my experience so much more enjoyable/able to learn the combat because its a little forgiving for making some mistakes instead of being 1 shot. Mind you, sentinel still took me like 15 attempts, so while having a couple of OP items sounds awesome and it is, total beginners like me im sure would still have a tough time.

Moi. Just bought it on the PS store for new PS5 bought 6 week ago. £35 half price. Only played for 2hrs but that includes character customisation ( always play as a younger woman just as I do in AC Odyssey Canon Kassandra ). Watched multiple YT videos especially Eurogamer as Aoife is highly informative. 21 years experience of playing RPG’s, E/Ring mechanics are different & am enjoying the challenge. Love games that are open world with a good amount of exploration & crafting, like HZD & Fallout 3 & 4. So far, I’d say ER is shaping up to be one of the best RPG’s I’ve delved into 👍😊

absolutely insane video, no other video goes so in depth for the first hour. went from not knowing a single thing to being able to comfortably play and understand what everything does. amazing video man.

[@DwnRange]

every thing you stated above is totally wrong (which in some ways explains your handle) - this guy only has an opinions like: "the sword is better than the halberd" - "crafting is niche" - "shields are really not all that useful" - "if we go right up the middle, we're gonna get hit" - these statements are all totally bull-s........ YMMV, but one look at his character creation screen tells me, this YT person is a neophyte at ER gameplay. "Your" statement above - "no other video goes so in depth for the first hour" is also total bull as there are actually YT'bers that know and produce actually "walk-through" vids which are far more informative and instructional - like MajorSlackVideos or Aussie Gamer 17 for just 2 examples. Watching MSV's Vagabond vids will bear out what I've said here, teachin ya that crafting "is" an important tool in ER, as well as far more information to boot on tactics and strats to help folks kick gaming but without looking like a fool doing it.... ps - were I the type of person to downvote others, this vids would certainly be a prime candidate, and as a side note; the Groveside Cave has a boss any newbie can take-down, using nothing more than the Charge forth skill on the Halberd "youwy" dismissed in the opening of the game - which btw, would have gotten the player the Flamedrake Talisman and 1000 Runes, right outta the gate - not to mention it could have also taken down the entire Gatefront camp.

500 getting to know the game is crazy. I was debating to keep following the guide at 45 mins but this comment made me realize that I will continue the guide

[@UnkommonSense-z5e]

I'm sorry....but the people who say this is the game for noobs to get into and start with is bs. If it's true. I automatically hate every other game. It shouldn't take that long to figure everything out. The menu navigation and interaction is confusing, the endless stats and data dumping is overwhelming, and the language used in the game to explain everything is ridiculous. I'm on my second attempt to get into it and I'm having flashbacks and remembering why I find this game insufferable. The difficulty should be the gameplay, not everything else as well. If you need a guide, or at least 50 fking hours before things START to click. It's simply not a good game. It's unnecessarily difficult and the fanboys freak out when people inevitably point that out. Games are supposed to be at least intuitive. This simply is not. I don't care how much you like it. I'm going to get back to dumping another 40 hours into this game and hope that I don't end up feeling like I wasted my time.

Nice work, youwy. A fresh beginner's guide makes sense with DLC looming, as that likely draws new players who decide to buy both original/DLC content at once. Plus, if you wanted, you could easily expand the "beginner" series with shorter videos on more specific topics according to whatever categories make sense. Could be beginners guide to two-handed-sword build, dual-weapon, build, incantation build, sorcery build, etc. It could be beginners guide to poise break build, status proc, intelligence spells, faith spells, etc. It could be beginner's guide to swords, axes, hammers, spells. Lot of ways to go with it for new content.

​@@UltraGeezerHow did it go for you after watching the guide ? It feels like the items you need to pick up are around scattered so randomly

[@UltraGeezer]

@@inquir2283 the guide really helped me at the start! I think I would have bounced off without it. Such a massive map, and next to nothing explained to you. Killing the dragon to be able to level up 15 levels was massive too. And learning about the rolling ball farm (2k) You’ll get to a point where 2k is just a drop. I’m at level 106 now. Loving the game! Use the rolling ball farm when you’re close to leveling up and are worried you’ll die. Make sure your weight is medium load or less, to roll. I don’t use a shield, I double hand the Katana. Find a light weapon, like claws or something with a faster move set. The slow swinging of swords and axes at first really bugged me. But you get used to it. Follow this guide. It’ll set you up for success. Then just commit to figuring the game out. Ignore crafting until you feel like you understand everything else.

[@leftovernoise]

You don't have to do any of this. You can just play the game and explore. Some people would rather get powerful before they actually play the game, for various reasons.

[@minthouse6338]

Horseback combat depends on what kind of player you are. There are some mini bosses and bosses I only defeated by being on a horse. That's because I'm more of a hit and run or slash and dash kind of player. Basically throw a few hits then run to either dodge the boss attack or recover some health. If I try it with face on combat, I get killed. Try doing combat both ways and you'll find out what kind of fighting style works for you.

[@Roboprogs]

Cool. Sounds like using the bike in “Days Gone” to do strafing runs against “hordes” rather than taking them on while on foot with fire bombs and such. Not the usual method, but the games allow you to mix it up.

Vagabond for min/max Faith builds that demand 12 or more dex for weapons, Prophet for pure faith and Strength Faith. I nervous sweat with anything higher than 10 dex.

Decided to play elden ring for the first time, after reading all reviews, btw I am not a fan of souls game. Tried to follow this video, till I get the blood fang and level up up to +4, decided to fight tree sentinel for the first time and I only died 3times then finally beat it. I am very happy 😂. Thanks mate. Spending 10hrs just to follow every step in this video.

40:37 I got jipped. I lead him around the bridge corner but he went on the ledge with me. I jumped around trying to escape i fell off and died, he fell off and died. I got the the gold ash of war but never got the runes. I ran back to pick them up. Thinking there was 55k there, i swallowed a golden foot. Nothing. Nada. I had 0 runes to begin with before i fell off. My rune pick up marker had 0. Edit: i was farming the metal ball drop, got up to 82k then randomly it gave me 9,720 runes.

Believe it or not , i just wished a video like this yesterday and i looked for it but didn't find anything, this was in the right moment! Thanks

[@asdfgzxcvb258]

This was very helpfull felt like we was playing together following your every direction

[@wvdm-w7w]

i got a good tip for new players. start with the samurai ts the most balanced one to use, katana sword is also really strong with bleed loss.

[@Ytinasniiable]

For the troll carts, you can also follow them until they reach their destination if you happen to be struggling with killing one of them, though this might take a while lol

[@Archelon8300]

I got this game closer to when it came out and played it a bit. I only got past the first boss and a bit more exploration after that, so not that far. I remember it being a little overly difficult for me so I stepped away and didn't really come back to it. I decided I wanted to pick it up on the Steam Sale so that I could have it for my steam deck and I would be more likely to play. I'm looking forward to trying this guide to and seeing if it helps me to get set up a little better at the start rather than just running in and getting pummeled. I know there will still be a good aspect of git good I'll need to do but this looks like it will help

[@robertboultwood4059]

Hi l am 68 yrs old trying to play souls games first time like the advice thanks

[@mray417]

Ive quit this game 3 times already since it came out. This is a great vid, thanks!

[@tarantulady]

A good reason to start with crafting is that you can make and use fire arrows to great effect in Stormveil. There are fire barrels everywhere, and you can blow up enemies from stealth with a fire arrow. All the servants and most of the birds in that place can be blown up. Poison arrows are great for them stupid bell bearing hunters (the red Night, Knights/Try night, but hole.)

[@HusbandsCoach]

I feel like you just saved me 2500 hours of playtime. Thanks for the incredible walkthrough!

[@EliseMiller-bq6uh]

Where is the follow up video? Couldn't find on your playlist...

[@Neptune781]

amazing video! thanks for all the work you put into it. not gonna lie it took me 4 hours to do the first hour of the video lmao

[@minthouse6338]

While I agree you don't need to worry about crafting, don't ignore it either. Acquire as many materials and cookbooks as you can because later on in the game there maybe some items you will find useful to craft. Even if you don't use the materials you acquired, you can sell them for runes and that be more for you to spend.

[@Felixrizzlord]

thnq so much for this walkthru .. rlly needed as i just begun yesterday and was clueless where and what to do... :)

[@muppetman4895]

I agree . Whenever I read steam store reviews of a game and the reviewer has like 10-40 hours I completely ignore it.

[@meghanavs]

Thank you for this guide :)

[@larryfisherman6449]

I think the biggest thing for new players is the site of grace point to where you need to go , I tried playing when the game was new and it being my 1st time playing a dark souls game I was so confused on what I was supposed to be doing I didn't touch the game till months later. maybe I'm just really stupid

[@Grahamalon8001]

Going to be 100% honest: this is an incredible video with lots of detail. But... For those of us that want to play and learn the game legitimately, it's pretty awful to see the first hour is simply skipping around and grabbing items, cheesing bosses. The fun of these games is trial and error, fighting for your worth; it's not about getting OP and breezing through everything. The boss fights in Dark Souls are amazing because bosses are really, really threatening. Again, amazing video - I learned a lot - , but it might be better to call it "how to cheese your start in Elden Ring."

[@Neanebk]

Really good video bro! Set me up for success and makes the game so much more fun

[@123JamboJimbo]

Just started as with the Samurai class 🗡️🔪 Thanks for the tips.

[@timfowkes]

Thanks for the video, good stuff. But a quick map shot of location when approaching a step, especially after FF your playthrough would be great!

[@madeindade4168]

Just started playing this game on Sunday and all I want to say is...Thank You! Get straight to the point cuttin out the BS you don't need or waste my time on starting off. Gonna farm me some runes tonight!

[@chilled4275]

Im a beginner , picked vagabond , im pressing L1 on ps controller and it doesnt use the shield, it attacks , what did i do wrong ?

[@EmaanMian]

At 28:22 how do you do that? How can i make the sword go in? What do i klick i keep dying. How do you do that on ps controller??? Help me

[@deckerpride4956]

Why did the first big rune gain he had 40min into the video work for him, but not for me? The black knight on the horse just respawned when he fell off the cliff..

[@jamesjames2484]

It has been patched I think

[@sigurdwerdammen1494]

Just what i needed. Thank you!

[@joewill789]

Great video, not sure if I missed it but where do you pick up the bleed grease? 49:28

[@Desiqnify]

This helped me alot thanks very much for this guide

[@chancejohnston8601]

Killer Video man! Appreciate it.

[@sleptember2631]
