Elden Ring has finally arrived. FromSoftware's latest game is phenomenal, reinventing the traditional Dark Souls format by pairing it with a vast open world full of wonderful (and dangerous) things to discover.

Therefore, we here at Rock Paper Shotgun have created this ultimate beginner's guide to help you conquer the game's first 10 hours. Whether you're brand new to the series or just looking for a refresher, this video is for you.

Props to you for trying this game. Soulsborne are very rewarding despite of its difficulty. Here's an additional tip for you: Level up doesn't really mean a lot if your weapon aren't upgraded properly. So be sure to prioritize using your runes to upgrade your weapon. Even your default weapon could be extremely powerful when you upgrade it and it's actually more effective sticking and upgrading your old weapon instead of finding a new ones (been sticking to my falchion since the beginning. I'm lv. 97 now, lol). There's really no best weapon or equipment. Any build are viable. Also, when you're stuck at a boss, dump some points in your vigor. Vigor not only increase your HP, but it also increases your overall defense, so it helps massively.

@troybarrow8810 2 жыл бұрын

One tip I've got for new people is, dont neglect leveling up your vigor. I was helping people in redmane the other day and so many people that summoned me got their cheeks clapped in seconds because they had like... 500 - 600 hp and the bosses killed them in 1 or 2 hits. It'll change your life when you are able to survive that one massive hit a boss lands on you and you can heal up and keep fighting. Vs being 1 shot and having to restart the whole fight.

My problem is leveling up.. beyond slow. Yeah I bought the crafting thing, cookbook and torch. But besides that nothing n I haven't lost any runes. And I've killed alot of soldiers. Still only leveled once. So at this rate it'll take atleast a day to put 2 pts in vigor. Doesn't seem right but.. idk

Weapon upgrades (up to +3 at the Church of Elleh anvil) will increase your damage output quite a bit more than stat upgrades, so if you find smithing stones or somber smithing stones, stop at the Church to upgrade your weapon - you will take down those early enemies and bosses in fewer swings.

@@thatkenesu9843Depends on the weapon - certain early-game weapons are completely viable late-game options. It's relatively easy to farm lower level stones in the mid-game though so I would prioritize getting a weapon leveled up before taking on any major bosses, especially if the weapon you're waiting for doesn't appear in the opening areas.

If you didn't like Dark Souls I don't think you will enjoy Elden Ring. It's the spiritual successor just with an open world and a few more combat mechanics. In terms of boss moves, Elden Ring is definitely even harder. Many bosses don't leave any openings and require extreme precision/quick reaction or some other strategy to damage them.

A few corrections: While the church highlighted at 14:34 should be your first destination (or not. you do you fam), it is not where that region's map is found. The map is at the ruins highlighted at 14:58 The site of grace highlighted at 14:44 wasn't where I gained the ability to level up and call the horse, but maybe that can change. If you rest at that site and she doesn't appear, try the site of grace slightly NW of the map ruins I mentioned above. That's where I got mine At 14:52, if she's not there, rest at the site of grace and advance time to night. And seriously, don't skip her.

Mostly amazing tips. The only thing I would softly disagree with is the bit about repetition breeding familiarity. It can also forge into place bad habits. If you've been slamming your head against the same boss for an hour and don't seem to making any progress, take a break, go do some exploring, grab a snack, and try again in a bit.

I'm a pretty casual-type gamer and although I love open world RPGs, this one, while exciting, has definitely been beating me down already. I'm like 3 hours in and I haven't accomplished anything, but I think now I have a bit of confidence to get back in there and practice. Thank you!

Im 20+ hours in I am struggling too. But I've learned that using the horse whenever you can is really helpful. Also to level up and improve weapons and armor. But I still haven't figured out how to beat most of those really hard bosses. One hit and I'm dead

This was super helpful. I am brand new to playing this game and so far I've been lucky enough not to die too often but this should help me live a bit longer while fighting mobs and bosses. Best part so far however was a bit of a glitch, with a sheep tucking its head into its butt and rolling towards and then past me like some demented fluffy armadillo..wish I had a screen capture to show, cos it was a very WTF moment!

I spended 6 hours on the tree sentinel and honestly it was worth it. Not because the lot but because the honor and pride i felt after losing for 6 hours straight and winning finally it was so damn satisfying

Regarding the Demi-Human Chiefs: Liam was fighting both at the same time. When you first enter, if one of the demi-humans spots you (or you otherwise attack one, be it with a bow, spell or throwing item), it'll only aggro the Chief closest to you. If you stay near the entrance to the room, you won't aggro the other Chief (and the five, I think it is, adds that come with it). As Liam said in the video, the fight's much easier if you're not constantly watching your back, worrying about the other Chief. Just... mind where you roll and that you stay away from the 'tunnel' where the second Chief is, and you can pick them apart one by one.

"Through" a treasure chest??? Edit 2 days later: OK so at first I thought OP here was referring to some bizarre glitch but now today I encountered my first of these trap chests, I found one the Dragon burned ruins in the swamp just east of the starting area and got sent to the same mine on the other side of the map, very surreal.
