I got mauled in both lol. At the bottom of the other one is some mist walk through nd bam instant death boss fight. And the 2 tiny gargoyles instant death

Yep, I feel ya

got burned to death

@@darrenluisis5067 use the wolves the witch gives u (i think she gives it to you) and its p easy

so true

You know me so well 😂

In my years of gaming, I never had to go look for help and was stubborn but here I am 😂😂

Yes I can't be the first boss fell guy or whatever his name is dude with the tail

I’m actually just deciding to look at guides after I already platinumed the game 3 times. I’m still not sure if I’m playing right

Yea…I rage quit after those knights. About 20 minutes in

@@matthewh8452 The game is big enough for you to explore literally. Theres no point to rage quitting

@@connergalles7106 i rage quit then said this to myself lol just go somewhere else

Those knights man…

good on ya mate

Bro this game got me completely lost like no story filling ya in Id say go play witcher 3 not as good of graphics but story and game play makes sense also multiple endings so you can replay the game

I’m still completely shocked it sold like 17 million copies and won game of the year over God of War. I definitely feel like I’m missing something…

@@billykimber905 try to play again and pull up a screenshot of the island you’re exploring. When you go through areas, fill in a color with the parts you’ve ran through. This will give you a sense of direction when clearing an island. This helped me, I stopped playing the game in May (when it came out) for the same reasons as you. I just picked it up again and stared marking the areas I’m clearing. It helps, give it a shot. Remember the game is mostly exploring and having fun finding things.

I made sure to buy a physical copy Incase I didn't "get it" so I could sell it back and recomp sum losses lol

just be patience and wander just keep watching videos

Did you ever beat it

i just started and i feel the same way 😭

​@@L34NDR0you are not alone looool

I started 2 days ago and so far I feel like I'm troubleshooting something by the sheer amount of videos I use a guide

I just started and I’m lost

Same here! I just bought my ps5 last week and bought Elden Ring three days ago and I’ve been watching A LOT of these videos to help myself with this game! It’s so much fun though!

Just bought a xbox series x starting it tonight

Accurate

Just follow a guide. It makes the experience much better.

I just heard this line in the game as i read this comment

Indeed, I tarnished needed said guide

@@DxLxO You read comments instead of watching the video? lol comment sections are good though !

LOL HAHA 🥶

I put 50 hours into this game just wandering around before I met Melina the first time, because I never rested. This is why we need guides

The torch works well for anything that's weak to fire. Like the first big cave with all the smithing stones, the rats and flame thrower guys. All those enemies are weak to fire. You can two-tap most of those enemies with the torch.

Whew. I didn't even think to buy the torch. Just hit it with my catch fire, and the sliced away. Had to jump on torrent and sprint back to a grace before I died from poison damage.

Good call my dude

@@ImMrLucky is there anywhere else I can get one in the beginning (i killed Kale accidentally)

Fire Sling for Faith casters and the Jellyfish summon were my tools for the plant. It's above the Mad Pumkin Head that guards the Intelkegence spell giver mentioned here.

@@dannyboylan5926 I wrote this video and agree. Please have fun the way you want to have fun. :)

Bloodborne is absolutely amazing definitely give it a try after you beat elden ring

@@DaveControlLive alright maybe I'm a bit salty but I'm sick of people acting smug because they like a game thats not hard. I Apologize

@@t-revstastetube8900 the only enemy in bloodborne is the camera. Game is ruined by a bad frame rate! I beat the game and loved it, but that was before we had ps5. Now I am used to 60fps and won't go back. Like going from broadband to dialup. Too bad they don't do a remake or remaster!

Thanks

thanks so much

You have to realise that they would've probably spent 20+ hours just in Limgrave finding everything mentioned here. That's meant to be the appeal of the game - it directs you to fight Margit but after X deaths you realise while it's technically possible to beat him with perfect dodges and attacks, it's just too hard so you go back and start actually exploring and looking for ways to level up, boost your abilities/weapons, reveal new map locations, find new dungeons etc. This is probably frustrating to younger players who grew up with open world games giving them waypoint markers and main story/side story objectives in their journal to follow, but if you give it a chance you'll see how much more rewarding it is learning the areas you're exploring more intimately, feeling excitement when you randomly stumble across a hidden path or cave with rewards to be found. Margit then no longer seems to occupy your thoughts and you realise there's so much fun to be had just exploring and becoming more powerful. You could essentially ignore Margit for 50 hours and just keep roaming the map turning into an ultra-beast who can take him down later with a few swipes or spells. But that's the beauty of the game, you can just play it your own way, some people will like the challenge of trying to push through the semi-guided main path without levelling up too much outside of the main encounters. IMO this is just too hard for me so I prefer 'prepping' by farming the giants for 1000 runes each and fighting off the bosses in caves

@@zaprct I have played Bloodbourne and sekrio that dont have markers. Also played Kingdom come. But i perfer having main story quests marked and few side missions marked and then having everything else hidden really gives a sense of discovery. when comes to the main story its pretty tedious not knowing were to go.

@@John-996 with your requests you just perfectly described the design of the game. Grace tells you where to go, but you should be able to work out that you need to level up before doing so. Explore the world freely without feeling pressured or rushed to do anything and you’ll enjoy the game much more than being funneled into a set path.

yeah, thats lame. im trying to actually experience the story, not wander the woods looking for "bimblefuck the supreme lord" ash of war to make the boss "cockdick of the great realm" easier@@billyboop1111

​@@zaprctyour comment helped me. Thank you!

that sounds great! Man, there’s really nothing like your first run of a souls game, so don’t ruin it for yourself, trust me on this.

The late game bugs ruined my 80hrs of playtime

@@leflopjames5628 console or Pc ?

This game is a masterpiece my first Souls game aswell its so detailed and its in the detail that draws you in that and the intresting characters and World design....The gameplay is top Notch aswell up there with one of the best games ive ever played in my career .....

@@tsurugi5 What do you mean by don't ruin it? This is my first one as well but I've been lost lol.. still can't find this secret basement in gatefront ruins he spoke of...

I feel the same. I have no clue where to go or even how to progress the storyline. Like is there even an end game?

@@jamesroyale2723 an update for me is I'm currently loving the game. I'm level 53 right now and the thing that changed for me is instead of searching for a specific storyline I started searching for gear and weapons. For example, I took the time to watch guides to get the bloodhounds fang. Then I took the time to upgrade it to +5 and add the enchantments in it. I found a few more things and even unlocked a lot of the map. Once I felt ready I went through all of stormveil and beat that. After that I was into the game and ready to keep progressing and playing. I then went and got eleonoras pole blade and Nagakiba. Once I got that I tacked all of the academy. That leaves me to where I'm at now, and I decided to put bloodhounds fang away and now my main focus is gathering runes and smithing stones to upgrade the pole blade as much as possible. I like that weapon the most right now. Bloodhounds fang is heavy and I'm not the biggest fan of that. Anyways, that's what worked for me. Watching tons of guides and giving myself missions and objectives is what thrusted me into loving the game. I think doing that and leveling up everything before going through the main stuff and tackling the main bosses is the best way to go in my opinion. I still don't understand the extent of everything yet and that's fun because it keeps me engaged to learn and keep going. Hopefully you can get into it like I did! It's really fun!

Played for 2 days, got bored and uninstalled. Who have time to play a game where you have to watch 100s of videos just to understand basic things. I think most of the revies of this game are paid/fake just to create hype

@@SachinMaheshwari1995 it's definitely not everyone's style of play. Like I said in my original post this is my first souls game so everything is new to me. I don't have unlimited time to play I'm married with a 2 year old so my game time is at night only 2-3 times a week max. But it's just about getting into it. I'm enjoying it, I'm enjoying learning about it and learning what new things I can do and upgrade 🤷🏻‍♂️. It's not a big deal lol if you don't like it you can play something else lol

@@noahgerms7974 yeah I just wanted to try what's the hype of this game. I didn't like much about it. Onto the next

I saw the initial map and thought it was much smaller than I had thought it would be. Then I went out and found all the map fragments and I was very surprised with how large the map is.

Press F

and yet you're here

@@randyluz2088 only here to see the essentials then back to getting lost lol

Bro it was beautiful. I was in awe looking at the beautiful colors they used in that area, the art direction is impeccable.

@@alejandroaraiza2226 Siofra has been one of my absolute favorite discoveries in the game. I’ve been doing my best not to spoil that in any videos - it’s such an amazing surprise!

Favorite part of the game so far. Looked at this weird rotunda building with an elevator inside and was thinking eh, there’s probably an item or something…

I stumbled upon the river while running away from some bears. This niche area tucked away in the middle of nowhere is larger and more impressive than some entire areas of Dark Souls 1-3

So glad I found that on my own as well. I went directly to the Erdtree to get the goodies than spawn near it to find that ominous elevator. Thought the game was bugging for a sec then was blown away. Even at level 19 or so I was able to find and light all the touches. I won't spoil anything from there.

Thank you so much! :)

Me too im very stubborn and ocd so this is very overwhelming for me but I love it. I just still cant focus myself any which way yet. I cant move on til I beat tree sentinel cuz im stubborn although I did roam a bit in the area just getting used to combat and mechanics. Alot going on and its packed with things to do. I just need to calm down and take it slow. 😆

This open world is blowing my mind lol I’m used to dark souls having a set way, now I get to move around at my own place, I’ve already found 3-4 named enemies and I’m barely to the stormfront gates lol

@@CantTreadOnMe the tree sentenial is alot easier if you get torrent (your steed)

Don't give up, skeleton!

Play dark souls first

Update? Got this game and I just can't play it properly

My first souls game too and i admit its HARD I've died about 200 times in two days but i can't get enough 😂 level 30 now and still dying a lot 😂

Glad to have helped! These games can be hard to learn, but when you do, they’re truly something else.

@@DaveControlLive 100K subs, zero likes

What's your follow-up since?

Same

I chose one…then while figuring out controls used it in the tutorial and died and never recovered my runes😂😭

Enjoy and welcome aboard! Hope you play Bloodborne and Dark Souls next, its alot more straght forward but amazing and you will be awesome by than at combat.

yeah I also got teleported from the chest, got out of the crystal cave, found a cealid map then went back to limgrave. Died a lot in cealid

@@GnFNobleWolf I already have 23 hours in this game this gonna be bad for me.

@@landonmartin5043 i have 9 haha I love it. Can't wait to feel ready for pvp lol

I found that chest, as a lvl 1, before getting the mount or knowing I could fast travel through the map 😭. Explored a decent bit outside of the swamp before just making a new first character after I got sick of getting one shot

@@Epiccheese247 ya without a mount that would have been brutal. This happened to me last night... I had even seen a video saying don't open that chest. ha. At least I knew what to do.. Even at level 24 the enemies in the cave were brutal. So I ran past them all... and found my way out of the caves and too a grave sight so I could teleport again.

Ya multi-player is a nightmare lol. Hope yall enjoy the rest of the game though! So much to do!

i wouldnt recommend relying on multiplayer for your first playthrough

Thx man

Wow I didn’t know this I shouldn’t have sold the flail

bro😂💀, i hate that place smmm😭

I completed it shortly after watching this video. Very helpful

It doesn’t get easier, I promise

I just got this game today so much to learn

What you lost in hours, you gained in skills.

exactly, if it needs 30 u need 20 to two handle it (which is not so bad, but that weapon also needs like 16 faith and some dex too)

Good luck 👍

You got this! Don't give up😁

It only gets better as you get better find weapons you like and get fashioned up and stacked stats and ohhh my god it just gets so good. Wait til you play Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1-3 heh you have literally thousands of hours of pure bliss ahead of you.

@@CVFFEINE thank you 👍

@@CantTreadOnMe yeah I’m at 10 hours now I just hit dragonbarrow. Plus I do plan on playing other souls games 👍

It’s not a port for PC. Also not sure what you think is wrong the PC version?

@@denarii5805 the pc version is currently rated at 63% on steam. It is a terrible port. Frame pacing issues across the board. Stuttering. Some players have it every few seconds. I have it once every few minutes. Controller support is borked on pc. It took me over an hour working through different solutions trying to get it to recognize my ps4 controller. Fps is capped to 60. No ultrawide support. Mouse sensitivity is way too high. Keybindings don't work properly with the in game menu. Q is the exit button. Unstable coop. The list goes on. The game itself may be good but these technical problems are bad. Hence it is a bad port of an amazing game. They said they are working to fix the stutters.. hopefully they can quickly. Over 30000 reviews and nearly 10000 negative reviews 99% of them being because of thr aforementioned things above

@@Vartazian360 There is community fixes for all these things, if you dont mind playing the game offline. You basically disable the EAC(Easy anti cheat) That is one of the things that is causing the problems atm. Also use a program called "Flawless widescreen" It has fixes that enable you to uncap the frame rate, get rid of 'vignette' and increase the FOV. All of this makes the game run MUCH better. Of course the downside is you can't play online. Also if you do this, make sure to set all the settings in the menu to offline. turn all the online stuff to off, THEN do what i said above.

u been all over nah u need to go south and east than go north

What makes your journey different?

u want a medal

How is it different? You playing Elden Ring 2 or something?

Get margits shackle from patches!

@@jeremybarney5178 I heard about that but I’m trying to find him. I went down to Castle Morne in the meantime. I’m gonna give him another shot after I beat the boss here.

I've Platinumed every From Software game and I fought him at level 15 without an upgraded weapon and he absolutely destroyed me. Harder than Orphon of Kos, but I realized I was just completely under-leveled

@@MoneyMaker4545 me too bud. 👍 getting the platinums we’re really satisfying. But yea this game is just a bit different. I love you options they give you here

Confessor is goated

A mounted Knight near some kind of small castle thats closed, and a Ghost sitting near the main door, droped a weapon skill that add holy damage to the weapon, and add a faith scale also, it's pretty useful for early faith builds.

I beat Margit at level 15 with nonstop parties. I also started strength and dex and am now changing to faith.

@@whiskydoctor7477 did not know this, thank you for letting me know

Experiment with damage types. Strike (aka blunt) slash, and piercing can all be resisted differently and if something is doing Look at your own armor details to kind of see how damage is broken down. Your enemies stats are simular. It is also possible for a weak armor to have a defensive value far higher then you'd assume if the damage resistances line up right with your enemy

This is my first souls-type game and I'm obsessed now. That is all.

@@roadrunner_rc lol, good to hear!

​@@Mr.PR2000Same. I put this game down a while ago out of frustration. I'm used to games that guide you like Horizon and God of War. This and Breath of the Wild I made slow progress.

Thanks for the tip!

The undead militia are OP as they keep getting up even after they are killed. Unlimited distraction for you to wail on the boss!

7 hours in and barely just got the mount lol. I'm going so slow having so much fun! Feel like a kid again!
