Is there a right way to beat the Game of the Year: Elden Ring?
Did you ever want to know how Fromsoft intends Elden Ring to be played? Well, we kinda officially have the answer. How much of this did you already know / do? Once the Elden Ring DLC drops I think there will be a vol 2 of this book in which case you will hear from me again.

@@saladfrog I disagree entirely with your point. From lets you summon in most boss fights in the game. I seriously doubt that they created the bosses attacks assuming that players wouldn’t use them. The fact is, this game isn’t hard. You can choose to play however you want to make the game more difficult, but by default Elden Ring isn’t a difficult game to you. The player(you) making an active choice to avoid summons is not playing how fromsoft intended. It’s not “easy mode”, the game is just easy to you by default. You are choosing to play on “Hardmode” by avoiding mechanics until it feels correct to YOU. Not everyone else feels that way. Some players will choose to use summons, because that is how the game is designed.

It’s a testament to the incredible world design, but I was amazed at how thoroughly I had explored the world by just checking out anything that caught my eye and not concerning myself with whether or not I was missing anything. I figured that a true adventurer works with what they find. Plus, I figured it would make later play throughs exciting when I discover new things that I missed previously. I still occasionally find new stuff, but I got about 90% of the loot by just wandering wherever I wanted. This game seems like it should NEED a guide, but the devs did such a good job guiding the player without letting the player even realize they’re being guided.

@@killbill8921 This might blow your mind, but.. you can have both in your toolkit. Some enemies are just outright immune to status effects anyway, and whether they are or not, you can counter with a bleed weapon and use the opening from poise breaking them with that to lay in even more hurt with *whatever* damage type. Some enemies are better to deal with via pure aggression, in which case shields don't do much of anything, but some normally-agile enemies are very vulnerable to shield bounces and guard counters, which feels like the intended strategy with things like Imps that have erratic and rapid movements but which bounce off shields easily for a long stagger.

The funniest part about this is the fact that even given that knowledge the fan base will still be like "No but actually-"

I commented on some other persons vid but I have a question for everyone, ER was my first from soft game and I don’t quite get builds but mine was 2 frost 100 rapiers, the black knife, frost dragon incan, rot dragon Incan, frost Lightning spear, couple healing Incans. I had str, dex, arc, and faith leveled up mostly (vigor and all that too obv) I’m just not sure what I’d call this build bc I’m always seeing like “the best str build” etc. help me out what would y’all call this build ?

Builds in this game can be so numerous, varied and nuanced that you could easily come up with (and name) over 1000 different builds - this one is yours, and so you get the pleasure of naming it. 😊

No Margot shackle? You can buy it from the bell bearing… or is it no bell bearing because you haven’t been to round table hold? Although if you can explore the open world any way you want, you still could. Or… are you playing region locked as laid out in the book? All the questions… great video… am actually going to get the book myself I think. I like the idea of trying it “their” way :D

LOL funny. Horseback was exactly how I beat the tree sentinel at a normal level during my first playthrough. Interesting video!

My 11 year old son beat him at level 9 on foot during his first playthrough. I felt terribly inadequate after witnessing that. After a few battles with him, he's not much of a problem anymore, he telegraphs his attacks very loudly.

One play through my mage jumped on Torrent onto the Church of Elleh column and peppered the Tree Sentinel with Loretta’s Greatbow. The tin can man couldn’t do a thing, just cantered around swinging his halberd at fresh air. And his shield had a real Trash of War. 😂

@@christinebaker8754 hahaha that’s awesome! I never tried that. I remember running to the church of Elleh on my first playthrough before I picked up torrent. Mother fucker follower me in and broke part of the front off the building… so I sort of thought it could be possible for him to Knock me down. It was definitely a first to see destructible environment pieces in the game. Even if they didn’t go crazy with it.
