Just wanted to make it clear that I suggest using these strategies as tools, not as replacement. If possible, they are worth doing. And if you want to help me create better videos for as little as a dollar a month, then consider becoming a member. It's greatly appreciated

i think a reason why most people sleep on jumping to evade attacks is that the attacks dont LOOK jumpable i mean...look at the video, the flame of grodricks breath attack goes right through your head, the lightning of the dragonkin soldier goes meters up into the air and so on why would anyone expect an attack that visually goes very high to be jumpable?

The reason you can't parry that pumpkin head's weapon attack is probably because it's a flail and flails can't be parried. Maybe the one with a big mace can be parried?

people prefering rolling over jumping can be attributed to the fact that most of the attacks don't look like they would be able to clear the actual attack, like the tree demon worm things, took me awhile to figure out that you could dodge the tail swipe by jumping despite clipping into it mid swing

Once I learnt about bosses reading inputs and stopped spamming my buttons the game became much easier. Never roll or attack spam. The enemy is waiting to punish you.

My tip: if you die and drop a lot of runes that you are anxious to get back, put on a sacrificial twig - if you die on the run-back your bloodstain won’t disappear Edit: As MANY people have pointed out, there is a tear for the physick that can do the same thing, saving you twigs in case you needed them for something else

Just learning the Glintstone blades target the little invisible balls 😳

You could’ve made 20 different videos out of this content but instead you made this extremely informative and packed video…kudos to you man

Ive seen a lot of Elden Ring videos DLC or not that suggest they have some incredible knowledge to be bequeathed even to expert players and then it turns out its just stuff like "bleed is broken" and "kill the mother dragon at the start of your game". This is the first video that humbly gave me more knowledge than all of those videos combined. Thank you, you absolute legend

The hardest thing about jumping is unlearning to just roll. But after this vid I’m gonn try harder to jump over attacks that are low to the ground. Really great vid so far

Brother is finally back after 9 months. The content drought is over

"Make sure to explore first" Me exploring first: *unintentionally advance NPCs quests I didn't even know existed into phase 8/12 without ever even meeting them*

Jumping is fantastic, however it's biggest issues is that it's very hard to know what attacks can be jumped over (unless it's very obvious like Elden Beasts AoE Ring Pulse), and which can't. Rolling is a far safer option in most cases when you don't yet know a bosses attacks fully, however once do, the combination of rolling and jumping makes you practically invincible.

This is definitely eye opening. I have a bad habit in games being narrow-minded, not deviating from what I know and flooring metas. I definitely need to experiment more before and during the dlc

Welcome back good sir

It’s ridiculous how good this video is. So much good info. Thanks for the tips and congrats on the video!

I really loved this video. You should do a more comprehensive video on weaknesses, crafting, ash of wars and other stuff that people don’t know. I’d watch em all.

At 7:12 the reason you can parry his fist but not his weapon is that flails can’t be parried as an innate weapon quality. This is true for the player too! So if you’re having trouble with, for instance, Moongrum, you can use a flail to avoid getting 1 shot riposted. The other weapons that have this property are whips, colossal swords or colossal weapons only when held with 2 hands, or any jump attack. See you in the dlc Tarnished!

The Glintstone for invisible scarab just BLEW MY MIND!!!

I got downvoted to oblivion for telling ppl on Reddit who are complaining about the dlc these exact tips. I’m convinced ppl are still playing this game like it’s DS3 and don’t understand the mechanics at all

Fantastic video, visited for the first time after seeing Aston’s reaction and love how much insight you provided on these mechanics and how clearly you explain it and demonstrate the value. Great content!

You forgot to mention that you can jump over Mohg's flying slash attack AND get a jump attack in while doing so. You can also jump the double spin slash that watchdogs do with a well timed jump (also getting a jump attack in)

I thought the title was a bit condescending but this is probably the best starter guide I've seen

The thumbnail and title somehow scared me away from the video but after days of avoiding and seeing this video in my recommendations i finally gave in and its full of good advice thank you

thank you vary much! very simple explanations and plenty of useful stuff! Keep em coming

Dude, that video was amazing! I've seen few others mentioning interesting uses of some items, but this was the most condensed, helpful and innovative. I'm going to train the jump dodges right away!

People are sleeping on the power of guard counter. It's even viable to block with your weapon.

Thank you for sharing these tips! This knowledge will come in handy pretty soon

Your video was great!! I learned so much!! Thank you!!

How in the hell does your footage look so damn CLEAN? Is it just me or do the colors not look way more vibrant?

I learned a few things from this, thank you for sharing. The jump tip is epic

Great video, i actually learned some things i did not know, and love that the best advice you gave was to just use everything and have fun.

Over 2000 hours in this game and STILL learned a lot of great tips! Thx & great to have ya back in the game 👊

You can dodge the first part of waterfowl dance up close by jumping if you run and then jump as soon as the flurry appears Saved me from many deaths and sometimes didn't take damage at all even though I was right in front of the attack although it's not very consistent and you can still get hit midair

im hyped, cant wait for dlc and new videos from you.

Dude, this video is so beyond good. Instant subscribe. Thank you for laying out all of these mechanics. I hadn't realised how freaking much there are.

Man, I gotta practice jumping more. I'm so tuned to rolling that it feels like I have to turn on a second brain to hit the jump button.

Crystal darts work on imps and golems, too! Incredible guide! I learned a lot, and I'm a little less worried about the DLC now.

That was quite informative! Knew a bit of those, but did not know quite a few of them, even after way over 350h in Elden RIng.

Thanks for all the heavy hitting info in a short and useful video, subbed!

These are some great tips!

owofnir "i knew you'd come" made me choke on my hotdog

theres a better stealth cheese for the leyndell draconic sentinel. poison mist doesnt draw his attention. you can just sit behind him while he slowly dies without ever noticing a thing

Subscribed! You have changed my entire experience on this game. Thank you!❤

My glorious king is back. Oh joyous day

"bring a lantern" Pffttt... LOL awesome video bro, beyond hyped !

Pre-purchased this game and only now, late June 24, I am playing. Subscribed to your channel.. sounds like you will be a good source for solid information.

This advice sounds practically prophetic after playing the DLC. Definitely going to expirement more going forward. Also, the editing in this is so tight. So much good information, so easy to follow, such a short amount of time compared to other Elden Ring videos.

Something to keep in mind for guard counters is to read enemy movements and always try to block the very last attack/attack which have a slow follow-up. You can pretty reliably punish a lot of Malenia attacks. It also does a heck ton of posture damage. Even normal longsword can stance break her in a couple of hits

This is quite possibly one of the most informative ER vids I've watched over the years!! New Sub, thanks!!

Maybe the most helpful Elden ring video I’ve watched on KZfaq. I only knew maybe a quarter of these tips after 200 hours in base game. Thank you.

Great video, i use jump more often in fights and my gameplay improved a lot, now i'm trying to parry more often.

1:56 Hahahaha, made me chuckle. Sorry for pointing it out!

Miyazaki is going to feed this brother with some good content for a while

Trying to lvl up for dlc. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks man good video. Just started the game yesterday, this will be helpful.

The strafing tip is something I've only recently started doing on my own. It helps SO much in the Mohg fight, for example

WHAT??? these would make such a cool playstyle, you're like a weaponmaster that is constantly adapting to the task at hand, that's so cool

This is such a helpful video! Thank you. Although it'll be difficult to implement the jump as I've been relying on dodge since Dark Souls. I'll do my best.

Great video very informative love it dude

I tried jumping over the attacks that looked low enough when the game first came out. When it worked it felt amazing, but it felt far too inconsistent which attacks were avoidable and which werent. The animations for this can be incredibly misleading, so i eventually just stopped jumping with most melee attacks and only jumped over obvious aoe attacks and sweeps.

10/10 video ngl. It just shows the full gameplay possibilities of the game that can allow you to have fun. Recently i've played through the game in preparation for the dlc just using bloodhound's fang, buff from the commander's standard and a flask with agility and strength tears and oh boy, bosses were already melting from the damage, it ain't even the best setup you can make and it already made me op.

Bro I watched this video and I was like this guy sounds real familiar and then I just realized that I used to watch your terraria calamity mod videos and now you make elden ring videos, my two favorite games of all time. Pretty cool

bro, i wish i found your channel like way sooner man, you saved me some headache, thanks man

Correction: You don't even need to finish Bernard's quest to get it-just kill him in the shack at stormveil before joining volcano manor and after joining them give the bell bearing to twin maiden husk at roundtable

This is probably one of the best informative Elden Ring videos out there. Excellent work.

This video is so good, I didnt know half of these, pls do more like this

I can't tell you if I've ever, even once, watched a 12 minute video uninterrupted without skipping ahead or closing it altogether. This is fantastic

I've been saying this since elden ring came out From soft likes to punish conditioned responses that's why there's so many prime locations tour brain goes there's gotta be an item back here but it's an empty hallway I noticed lots of early game enemy's dip back out of straight sword range and make r1 spam useless and alot of enemy's have a lunge strike mechanic when u roll that's the exact distance to grab a roll spamer

This is an incredible video, thank you for all the work testing against all attacks. let's hop to it folks

OMG I learned so much more in this vid. thanks for sharing it! this was awesome! :)

Miyazaki wanted to troll the old bois from Souls series by making roll less effective compared to jump.

Learning all that makes another run through seem super exciting again, and I learned so much!~ Thank you

Either get cracked at rolling or go back to your roots and use a shield. I had to learn radahn and parry him..

Insane stuff, really impressed about so many amazing mechanics and the jump!

Dude, I’ve been playing since the original demon souls for the PS3 and you make me feel like I’ve never played one before it with all of these tips. Awesome video and…..subscribed

I never knew that the roll had i-frames when I played Dark Souls 1. I beat the whole game not realizing rolling made you briefly invincible. I used shields a lot and tried my best to simply avoid attacks. I still used the roll to get out of the way, but I didn't know about the invincibility, so I thought there were a lot of attacks that were just unavoidable and needed to be baited and healed around. I actually hate the concept of i-frames. It just bounces off of my brain to think you can become invincible for no reason, so I prefer playstyles that don't use it much.

Going to be real hard to get out of the habit of rolling after playing all the souls games and never being a parry god.

Great video, thanks for the tips!!

Idk why your video doesnt have 10 mil views atm, but it deserves it. I learned more in this one video then I did all throughout the entire game, and through guides.

8:00 Sorry but best i can do is 4 offensive talismans and raging because i get 1 shot.

Have I missed it, or have you forgot to talk about how the (i'm not kidding) *majority* of people don't use shields properly? The massive advantage of shields is, that you are invulnerable to most attacks in the game, while you hold the block button, at 0 cost. The only thing holding the block button does is to slow down your stamina, which means it is truly free while at full stamina. Now that alone isn't "super overpowered", yes. But what people seemingly *always* fail to notice,... is that you can just simply dodge roll out of block. With virtually no delay. Which means: If you only dodge roll: You have to be careful not to dodge too late, which significantly increases the risk of dodging **too early**. Especially in Elden Ring, where opponents love to delay their attacks, you often see people rolling around multiple times before the opponent (i.e Margit) finally strikes. But if you use shield + dodgeroll: If you fail to roll in time, what happens? Guess what, you simply block the attack and negate it. It will cost a lot of stamina potentially, but your HP is untouched (or dmg heavily reduced, if the attack was infused with magic/elements) This ultimately means that you don't need to be scared at all about being too late with your dodge roll, and you can truly focus on dodging on reaction to the actual attack, instead of predicting when it will land on anticipation. This actually trains your brain to be much more comfortable with dodging on sight, rather than on anticiption, and eventually you can even stop using a shield in many situations, being more skilled then you'd ever have been without using a shield.

You make the game look even more amazing. I'm gona try some of this stuff!

This is most informative stuff I have seen that teaches you how to use resources Souls games. Thank you Definlty going back to base game to try these mechanics and get ashes of wars that I missed.

5:50 whattheactualfuck is this long bar? Is this a new vigor stat from the dlc?

I like to think that Malenia misses the grab when you jump because instead of grabbing your neck she instead accidentally grabbed your balls😂

this is really packed with in-depth knowledge... so thank you for sharing it

Great information and well made! Keep it up

Honestly what I've gathered from this video is - Elden Ring dlc easy

Reshade presets always make games look like what a 15 year old's version of "good graphics" would be.

the phalanx hitting carab tears is the most important piece of advice any elden ring video has ever given me holy damn waiting for them to pass and hoping I timed the swing right AND was standing in ght right spot for it's path sucks

Awesome video. Learnt loads. Thanksn

"But...but... _You're playing it wrong."_

What's this about jumping "starts faster"? It absolutely does not, rolling i-frames are immediate.

Excellent video! Right to the point and packed with info with no filler fluff. Sometimes you're a little difficult to understand with the low speaking volume combined with the accent but that's a very minor complaint.

I feel like I learned a lot! I’m excited to try these techniques out.

Game did a terrible job of teaching its players pretty much anything. Casuals just like it for the spectacle and hard players see the flaws.

Im here because of asmongold video

Jumping the fire furnace enemies attacks is so fun. Its crazy because in Sekiro the jump was hard even when you were more mobile but jumping in this game and especially dlc is reactive and works. Even final bosses pull attack can be jumped safe.

Beaten the game 2 years ago, as well as the DLC last week and its so many tips in this vid that I never knew about until now. Great video
