NOTE: we originally made this video before a few patches and some minor things might be out of date regarding Alexander and the Sword of Night and Flame. the video is being updated to remove those parts.

I got lucky with Malenia. I caught her in a critical just before she went into her second phase cutscene... And she never regained all her health. So, I killed her second form in 1 hit.

UPDATE: The Bell bearing carry over now. The rune farm is also very helpful so you can purchase a ton of Smithing Stone and Somber Smithing Stone after giving the bell bearings to the twin Husks. The bell bearings don't carry over but anything in your inventory does. So if you have 100 of each smithing Stone, you're set for any new weapon you might find.

I think it's pretty important that you pick up all the ancient dragon stones and larval tears before NG+

For the invisible bridges in the game (either in Mountaintops of the Giant or in the dungeon leading to Haligtree), an easy way to cross it is to use Hoarfrost Stomp, it will reveal a huge area in front of you.

The erdtree shield doesn't react with the fire spell anymore. It got patched 5:42

Make sure you guys use every walking mausoleum to duplicate any remembrances you want instead of going through it again in ng+. There’s only 7 but you get an extra remembrance and don’t worry if you already used it you can still duplicate it which is handy especially for the tougher bosses like Malenia

You should note that for every journey increase the runes rewarded increases so at the moghwyn farm spot at journey 1 one enemy reward about 2500 with gold scarab. On journey 2 they give 5 k and on 3rd 7500. Very important to know if you plan on power leveling

Did you know that the little jellyfish you summon has a name. It’s called Amelia or something like that. This helps explain why a jellyfish is looking for it’s sister, as her sister is also a jellyfish.

For the farming spot ,you can also use a bow and shoot at the giant bird enemy on the other side of the map. If you shoot it from the right spot (which is close to the grace), it will run towards you and fall off. Just rest at the grace to reset it and do it all over again. If you get the angle and timing right, you can shoot it and run to the grace to rest. By the time you rest at the grace, it will usually have time to fall down and die and you get your runes as your character is sitting down Combine that with the Golden Scarab talisman and Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot to get extra runes

First thing to do after beating the game: go outside

There should be an option to reset map discovery in NG+. Having everything open by default when you start the 2nd run makes the discovery process less efficient imo. Elden ring might not have the replayable value, but the first run itself was a solid 150+ hr experience, which is great

edited new comment - Now that I believe almost everyone finished Elden Ring, I hope Elden Ring will have multiple updates (like how p 1.0.3 introduces Jar Burn/small Jar kid) I hope later updates will - Explain the role of the tall lady in north church - Return of Rya (the snake lady) (because she's so cute) - Miquela - Godwyn - Kid Jar return stronger as Alexander or better - And all cut contents returned back (the dream drink, mimic quest, varre burning face or something) previous comment - if anyone stuck at Malenia, USE Radahn's weapon fully upgrade along with your mimic, it sometimes cancelled out her attack. And phase 2, runaway from her AOE then continue spamming Star cry skills, she will mostly locked out of her action and always falls flat. There's a reason they keep mentioning how Malenia and Radahn always ended in draw.

Make sure to collect all Smithing-Stones and buy at least 20 stones of each up. For example buy 20 Somber Smithing Stones from 1 through to 9 so that when you start NG+ you’ll be able to upgrade any new weapons you find without ever needing to farm or look for upgrade materials

I got lucky with elden beast. I summoned a naked guy wearing a pot on his head and one on each hand. Dude proceeded to 5 hit the beast, called me beautiful, and dipped.

It feel so good that Elden Ring was the first game ever that I achieved platinum, it was a joy to go through the game with a diff build and just have fun going through it again

I like to play to difficulty cap and then coop with friends so the bosses are super tanky. It's pretty hilarious. The game has a lot of weapons & spells so it gives you tons to change and do different playthroughs. I did a banished Knight playthrough using only banished Knight armor & weapons and it was very fun.

That last rune farm, if you look to the left you will see a bird down below. Shoot it with an arrow and it will fall off and give you 10,000 runes every time

For anyone wandering, you don't have to beat final boss for number 9 farm, you just won't have sword to make t easier . Also there is a bird across gap from grace site that you can shoot and you will get 11k runes for shooting it once . It will Agro and run off clif

3:28 who’s “Merelith”?

Weapon Art of Starscourge Greatswords is the second best for number 9. Stand between all the sitting enemies and do the double weapon art where you draw them in and slam the swords down to get around 25-30k runes. Not as good as sacred relic but still very reliable

Alexander's quest continues after you defeat him. Talk to his nephew in the Jar village and give him the innards.

This game is indeed huge and with big attention to detail, can't believe they've made in such a short amount of time.

Number 1: Take a shower

Might want to fact check the tips since some of them haven't been correct for weeks. IE. Erdtree greatshield got fixed like 3 weeks ago and Alexander's innards got an use in the same patch.

The best way to approach remembrances for full item usage is to spend the remembrance for an available physical weapon first duplicate for the secondary physical weapon if it exists and then prioritize remembrance spells. That way you can powerstance weapons and retain spells.

rune farm also works with a leveled radahns greatswords u just use the ash of war and it draws in all the frogs and the slam finishes them hella good when paired with shooting the bird, and u can do it all mid game

Elden Ring will be my first platinum.

Another fun thing to do is Start a new game+ and cosplay as a favorite boss throughout the game. For example, using Radahns armor and collosal swords. Or play as Mohg with his spear and blood flame spells.

10:24 you can now give Alexander's innards to Jarbairn in jarburg and he'll give you a talisman, this was added later in the game.

Don't forget to get all the walking mausoleums before you enter NG as well. Even if you have all the boss items those boss souls give a lot of runes when popped.

My first run was with a strength build and my god is this game so so so much easier with ranged spells.

You can get to the Rune farm earlier, after defeating Margit/Godrick, speak to Varre (he'll be gone and leave a message) then head to Rose Church in Liurna and continue his quest. Once done you get a medallion that teleports you to the palace.

On NG+ once you turned in all the bell bearings on your 1st play through you can actually purchase Smithing Stones 1-8, Somber Stones 1-9 along with Grave and Ghost Glovert 1-9

1: put the controller down 2: go out side 3: get a drink 4: get some hot pockets 5: get some sleep 6: kiss a random stranger 7: shower 8: check your mail 9: watch tv 10: play the game

Make sure to have an end game save file with all great runes activated. I’m sure the DLC will be hidden behind end game. So if you have started a new game. U might have to play through it to some point before you can play dlc

Alexander’s innards have been put to use in the 1.03 update that added a NPC. Its another Jar in Jarburg and you’ll need it for that, definitely worth looking into…

As for the farming runes, avg 35000 with 20% bonus runes in 1st run. avg 55000 (around 65000 top) in 2nd run and avg 75000 in 3rd run. However, you can get 90000 runes if you can hit all of them in 3rd run. Stand at the middle top of the rock on the ground and aim to N before hitting. I got 90000 runes most of the times. over 110000 runes in 4th run. extra almost 25000 runes per new game plus. Make sure to level up your Faith which increase the hit point and also equip holy boost equipment. Even a giant bird will give you 26000 runes in 3rd run.

Next Elden Ring video: Things to do after you finish the things to do after you do some more things and finish the game.

Getting platinum in Elden Ring is actually very doable to be honest My playtime was around 130 hours by the time i got platinum (ps. I save scummed the ending)

For the rune farm spot that they mentioned there are 2 spots you can run to in the middle of all the enemies with rodahns greatsworfs equipped , use the art of war on the weapon and youll clear all the enemies and get 30k runes like they said. It takes roughly 30s longer but i mean hey you can start this rune farm waaaay earlier then beating the game just wont be as effective.

THE 11th AND MOST IMPORTANT THING, make sure to farm your runes to get all the weapons you’ve been curious about to 20+ so you can see which one you’d like for the future and get the second one on NG + not just the legendaries

@10:10 "crumbling farum azura" -nailed it 😂

I'm on my 3rd playthrough. Taking my time with this one to do all side quest.

Stretching out achievements/trophies for like 4 different things. Very insightful

Once you do everything before journey 2 believe me you literally lose any will to start journey 2

usually no matter how much I love the game it feels like a chore to do a ng+ or new run, but I've beaten this game like 5 times at this point. there's just always something to bring you back

never killed a boss in a from game until elden ring. now I just started my NG7 and have already 100% it. can't stop won't stop

If you rush right next to malenia after entering the mist she won’t attack you unless you attack so you can use a poison incantation to cheese her first phase completely saving your summon for her second phase. She does not fight back if you use the poison incantation but she will if you use regular attacks. It takes a lot of time and sometimes she does attack right away for some reason. If that happens just restart the boss fight.

For melenia my mimic tear held the rivers of blood +10 and I held moghs spear +9. Blood loss from the mimic + blood loss from the spear killed her first phase in like 20 seconds, same with her 2nd phase

@gameranx Thank for this. I am currently LV271, beat the Elden Beast and still doing all available quests on my first playthrough (no NG+). So many things to do in this masterpiece! 🙌

10. Keep playing the game 9. Keep playing the game 8. Keep playing the game 7. Keep playing the game 6. Keep playing the game 5. Keep playing the game 4. Keep playing the game 3. Keep playing the game 2. Keep playing the game 1. Keep playing the game

Now I know how I'll spend the week. Thanks Falcon.

FYI you can duplicate ur boss rewards by entering those huge walking buildings around the map. Just keep attacking the things on each leg and they will lower so u can enter.

there's another way to get thousands of runes in the blood area, if you climb the cliff beside the palace approach ledge road grace, and jump off where the shadow and the light meet (ik it's a weird way to put it), you just spam your attack and it thinks you killed everything in the area and you can just teleport back to the grace. it's really nice if you also have the gold scarab too. idk if a lot of people already know about this, but i just wanted to share in case anyone didn't know.

I always look forward to new Gameranx videos. I am not interested in Elden Ring though, and most of your new videos are about Elden Ring

Merileth? Azura? My boy Falcon narrates while being high as a kite.

this channel is about to turn into Elden Ranx

It's a souls game after you finish the game you finish it again. Then you finish it again. Then you finish it again

Seriously, ive died so many times trying to beat melania solo that her boss music just reminds me of the trauma.

Top 10 Things to do in Elden Ring after you beat it. 10: Play it again 9: Play it again 8: Play it again 7: Play it again 6-1: Play it again

You can get to that Palace Ledge Approach farm spot early and just kill them over and over again with whatever you got. Lansseaxs Glaive is really good for killing some and agro them for AOE attacks. Frost lightning spear is good too. Once you get mohgs spear you can wipe out the ones closest to you in a few moves. THEN you get golden order sword and MAX farm

Great video! Some things still surprized me 1st time starting NG+. Bell bearings for Smithing stones and Glowewarts carry over now (since patch 1.05) as they should. But things like pre-bought inventory (0 quantity) at vendors (Cookbooks, Notes), empty chests (Memory stone ones) and such. All emotes stay, including ones from Ensha and Patches and Melina, so nothing happens when they supposed to give you one. A bit messy, but playable. I have an arcane Mohg's spear build and all items including smithing stones drop extremely often (for example 1 smithing stone per 2 finger-creeper in Carria mansion).

I usually do play another game, when I finish a game.

You can also do the rune farm with radahn’s swords & their ash of war, although it is slightly slower as it won’t catch every enemy. But it is possible to do much earlier than endgame

i did a ng+ and i still found a bunch of things i missed the first time around which is crazy because i went though so much of the map and thought i had gotten close to everything , which is making me want to replay it even more to see how much i can find what i missed. i love this game.

I spent 20 hours on Malenia without summons or spirit ashes. I actually took the time to appreciate the intricacies of each attack and learned how to dodge all of them consistently without spamming Quick dash or some OP invincibility thing without looking any of it up. It honestly is disappointing to see how many people fight this boss 3-10 times before immediately going on the Internet, claiming it’s impossible without min-maxing or grinding, and talking about how trash the boss is. It’s definitely one of the most well designed bosses in this game. It’s such a perfect difficulty, crushingly difficult, but still lenient enough to where every single attack and every single combo is doable with enough skill. I feel like way to many people take for granted fromsoft’s attention to detail when it comes to fights like these, and how much effort it takes to make a boss that is beatable by most builds, but still equally as difficult. I understand some people would rather look up how to do it, or summon some help, or maybe even resort to using spirit ashes; but it absolutely infuriates me when people say this fight was “unfair” or “poorly designed”. Like, I know 90% of people did not even try to beat this boss without resorting to any of these methods. Think to yourself, do you really know how to dodge EVERY attack she did? Or did you hope for good RNG the whole time. How many people figured out you’re supposed to dodge forwards twice on the orange dash attack, or that for the delayed double slash you must dodge once to the left, and then once backwards? It’s details like this most people fail to realize before claiming that these attacks are impossible to dodge. The amount of videos on the Internet of people spamming quickdash in random directions for every attack is honestly just sad to watch.

I highly recommend just doing a save game backup if you're going for the platinum so you can get all 3 endings very quickly. It's not hard to get them normally (assuming you did Ranni's questline for her ending), but it's just time consuming to play through the entire game again, and you already proved you could do it, so it's not like you're skipping content or something. If you have PS+, it's easy: Just turn off auto updates for the cloud save and make a manual cloud save right before you go into the Erdtree. Make sure you haven't done the requirement for the frenzied flame ending when you make your save, since that cuts off the other endings. Then go in, beat the final boss, get whatever ending you want, and then download your manual cloud save, replacing your local save. Then you can load up your game, beat the final boss again and get another ending, and then do it one more time for the third. It doesn't matter what order you do them after you make your save, since you'll be overwriting your current game, so you can do the frenzied flame ending first or second if you want another ending to be your personal "canonical" ending (even though I don't think it matters which ending you do when you start NG+, but just in case you care).

Elden ring is game of the year 100% much love ❤️❤️❤️

The rune farm doesn’t require you to beat the game. The relic sword does but there are alternatives to it for the farm

Play it till bosses become pushovers just like what longtime players do in ds3 you play the game till the bosses don't hinder you or make you fear them

Malenia was such a blast to fight over and over and a huge rush when I finally got her.

Ok guys I think we had enough Elden Ring content, onto the next one

I love that each video Falcon hosts, he seems completely oblivious, mispronounces everything and makes it seem like he read this info in a catalogue for 3 mins and was asked to do a video on it.

My personal way to cross the invisible brige is the following, much easier than shiny stones or arrows Hoarfrost Stomp Covers a huge area and shows you all the edges and lengthes of the bridge

There are so many good weapons. Play again the whole game with different builds . I am on my 5th playthrough (Greatsword, Blasphemous Blade, rivers , bow only ) done . Fist only run is currently going on. It's so much fun

You can also use the starscourge greatsword to farm runes it's weapon art does a lot of damage to a lot of enemies

Surprisingly I had troubles with the dragon, Milenia was done in about 10-15 tries...

That rune farm tips is extremely useful to do before going into NG+ to stock up on any rune arcs you haven't bought and to get ass loads of upgrade mats

After one or two hundred to beat the game the first thing i suggest is to take some rest 😂Or you will get burnout quite fast.

You play it again with the realisation that you wont be able to play it like the first time

It is totally possible to get the Platinum in 1 play through, you just need to make a save before touching the skull, back the save up, either online or on USB, choose 1 ending, then put the save back, and repeat the process for the other 3 endings. If you want to watch them all, or just do the 2 trophy ones.

If you are having problems with Malenia, here is what i did to beat her in four tries. Number one, I have the Rivers of Blood+10 sword. This sword is ridiculously powerful. And while you cannot add any ash’s of war unto it, it’s own special technique works just as well. The sword actually causes Malenia to get stung briefly by the special move combo. But of course, even with a +10 sword, fighting Malenia one on one is a strategy I do not recommend anyone to do. She is simply too powerful and only needs to get lucky once to one shot you. Upgrade your Mimic Tear Ashes to +10. This Mimic is really powerful and does basically the same amount of damage as you do. But if you really want to win, before summoning your mimic, place the Shabriri’s Woe as one of your talisman. Once you summon the mimic, remove it quickly and add whatever as your talisman. The Shabriri’s Woe makes it so enemies/boss goes after you and increases aggression. Even if you remove it, your summon will still have it and enemies will attack your mimic instead of you. But bosses can still go after you if too close, so watch out. Lastly if your using any other sword, i do not recommend using any other sword that is not +10 or higher, and do not recommend using greatswords without add-on’s that add blood buildup, cold buildup, or poison buildup.

You should definitely get all the items that there are a finite amount of like somber and normal ancient dragon smithing stones

i beat the game the 1st time by playing on Hard Mode, i was using both Radagon and Marika's Soreseal becase combine it's like 40 levels of stats, but they lower so much your defense that anything kills you in 1~2 hits. Now i have a build without those talismans and the game kinda feels "easy" because i dont die anymore in just 1~2 hits. Lol. I'm on NG+4

At the Mohgwyn Palace rune farm, you don't need to run all the way back to the grace site, you can just open the map and press Y/Triangle and it will auto select the nearest grace site and you can just warp back; it's a lot faster that way.

Bastard Stars absolutely demolishes enemies - especially those darned Crystallians. Favorite weapon.

I used the grafted dragon for most of my first playthrough, the weapon art sucks because its too slow but otherwise its pretty good with a strength build.

Kinda wish he mentioned something about the multiplayer. Feel like peeps are a little bit too intimidated by it. Definitely worth trying out after you’ve gotten a hold of the game. Such fun and unique encounters

My favorite boss has gotta be "Marileth in Crumbling Farum Azura"

If anyone's trying to do heretical rise and having a little trouble trying to cross it with just rainbow stones, u can use the grafted dragon to show the path farther and wider then just the glow stones

awesome walkthrough. I have not felt this much joy since the last ninja games in the 80s in commodore 64. thanks a lot for making this possible.

I had to summon for Malenia and Mohg, both before reaching the final boss. Mohg was more of a challenge because three people can GANK Malenia so easily lol.

I did the rune farm as soon as I got a breathe attach very early on you can get it at level 1 if you want

To fully wipe the mobs out on the ledge in one swipe your damage should be 2021 or roughly around that number( maybe one mob will be left in the back depending on angle) suggest getting the raise holy damage talisman and putting on a marika seal or radagon talisman to get that little damage u might need if you don’t want to fully upgrade the sword itself. Another tip when I personally grind on the ledge I turn my hud off and just do it however many times I find watching the rune number go up makes it harder not to spend faster. 😂

Great another Eldenranx video.... Yay. No other games existed or will exist

I love gameranx with a passion but y'all milkin the f*ck out of this game 🤣🤣

Anyone caught on to the fact that a weapon enchantment either from encantation or grease, carries over to any damage done from that weapon. For example using thunderstorm ashe of war, if your weapon gets buffed with blackfame then the blackflame damage increase and damage overtime effect will carry over to the thunderstorm attack. Also works with flame of redmanes. Only downside is you have to take a reduced standard AR as a result of changing the affinity to something that can be enchanted, ie keen, heavy, standard even. Pretty cool way to switch up weapons after being carried through the bosses with special weapons. Making normal weapons crazy op.

You can get platinum/all achievements for the endings using cloud save as long as you’ve completed all of the requirements ahead of time. Keeps you from having to do 3 play throughs unless of course you have a spare couple hundred hours and want to. Only truly missable seems to be the armaments.

With the rune farm, if you have not beaten the game you can look to your left from the sight of grace and shoot the bird that spawns there. The bird will aggro you and fall off of the ledge. You can rinse and repeat this, and it gives you 11k runes per pop.
