@Skoodlesnoodle thank you for making me feel like a progressive pioneer crafting new words for future generations.

Well there are also "ruin" fragments that you pick up off ground and fallen enemies. So maybe that's why you use ruin?

@@Crusader-777 smithing stone 7 brings you up to level 21 weapon. But if you want to find more search for "elden ring interactive map" and click on the map genie one. Then search for smithing stone. It will show you all the available ones found in the world. The best way is to get the smithing stone bell bearings though, which are typically earned by defeating powerful foes or found in dangerous locations. This allows you to purchase smithing stones from the twin maiden husks in the roundtable hold. The more bell bearings you find, the higher smithing stones you can purchase.

@@Crusader-777 yeah. This game is crazy, complicated and extremely vague.... but the gameplay makes up for it. And kind of refreshing to have so much intrigue, mystery and lack of handholding in today's landscape of games.

wait... they're pronounced as "roons"???

You bet! Best of luck fellow tarnished! Remember to use flame of the redmanes when you are having trouble on bosses, etc. It is an amazing ability that will break their stance in just 2 hits.

Same lmao I’m like 10 hours in just exploring and I haven’t even taken out the boss at the first gate 😅

That is great to hear! Glad you found it so helpful. Best of luck tarnished!

Thank you MiL! I really appreciate the love. These guides take a lot of work to make

It could be cleaned up a bit. Timing a pause on map locations is like screenshotting that nude chick on Tik tok

Yeah, they hit hard! So it's high risk, high reward. If you master the run shown for low lvl players at the very end of the video, you should be good to go. Then use those runes to level up higher and you'll be doing the full run very soon.

If u need help add me KnightDragonX_BX. I can join you and give u mustle support.

the bird is so much better than this plus u dont gotta watch it fall off as soon as it spreads its wings run back to grace-

@@masteroogway103 the fall part isn't the problem, it's that it's boring af, if wanted to play mindless game of numbers i wouldn't play elden ring

@@iamcheese4519 Then fight the enemies next to the grace if you want to get your hands dirty and get less runes per min.

@@OmnipotentSaiyanlike the bear? Cuz that what I’m doing

It's patched but there is an even easier method now: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtx0ktBlnM_DhKc.html

I threw the mf from the bridge, Hahahahah

Thanks Matt!

Yeah it’s a great video. Got the fire thing from the invisible beetle, but at only level 30 and without the other little perks I’m still too weak to farm it. The guys on the hill destroy me. But I’ll be back. I still can’t beat Margit the fell. I don’t think I’m very good at this game yet, but still grinding.

@@JLStreetDoc did you try my Elden Ring combat guide video? It might help you out!

And don't beat yourself up about it - this is a very HARD game. You should definitely explore a good amount of the world and then come back to Margit when you are nice and leveled up. He is crazy hard for a first boss.

@@TobyWanShinobi thanks.

Thanks Laniakea!

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thanks brother! Glad to help you :)

That's exactly what I prefer to farm. Can rip through 20 of them in about 4 to 5 minutes and then rinse repeat. They're easy as hell to kill unless they are grouped up or they get a couple lucky shots off. Sometimes they'll even kill you with one quick combo if you let them, but usually I slay them without much difficulty.

@@32rekt62 hey I finally got to the birds, totally worth it

@@RonnieMyers777 I have no idea how to get to the birds. You're talking about that area where they shoot a bird across this wide gap and the bird runs off the cliff to it's death? If so, can you maybe let me know how to get there? I guess I could just google it lol.. just don't know what it's called.

@@32rekt62 IIRC go to Rose Church (Liurnia Lakes) and there's a guy in a mask hiding around there who gives you "fingers" to duel ppl. Do 3 fights (win or lose) and go back to him, then the item he gives teleports you to the area. You'll be right next to a site of grace where the bird is. Its like 13k or 17k with gold fowl foot

@@RonnieMyers777 🙏🏼

Thank you Eric!

For sure, I used to do that one also, then moved to this because it's faster when you can manage it.

Nah I am not fighting those guys after the bleed crap they did to me doesn't matter what level you are you take half health damage from the bleed status

That's my favorite place to farm for Runes To, the sword dance Asha war is really good for the area and knocks them on their ass and if done right can kill them in two hits.

This is what i did, i found and just kept using it. Could rack up 14k per min if you plan your route without getting off your horse too. Just beat the game today, did not feel hard. Maybe the farming i did helped lol. It just felt good getting easy runes so i would just do it while i waited for something irl, say like my wife getting ready lol instead of waiting 20 mins sitting around i would just farm.

This is one of my favorite farms. All the 1v1s give you battle experience as a beginner.

Stoked to hear that Carlos. Thank you for the support my friend :)

Thanks Colin! Glad I'm not the only person who appreciates some sweet action while farming.

Yes just got the horsemen killed without touching him

Rooooooooons!!

LOL thanks Christopher!

That is really great to hear! Very happy to help.

That's very kind of you. Thanks JMP!

Thank you friend!

Ikr

They really do when one's not levelled-up enough! Gotta be even more careful with a melee-focused character and avoiding being ganged up!

I found myself collecting runes over there , I saw the war poppinn off and had no idea why I was collecting runes as I passed by , easiest robbing ever. This also happened between the ape people and the limgrave soldiers over near the wolf pack with the white wolf sitting on top of the long rock pointing upwards out of the ground .

hell, I call in a summon and join the war, taking neither side and leaving absolutely no survivors. remember to go up the hill on the far side a little bit to trigger the white dog that will howl for his friends to follow, then lead them back to the battle and it's pure chaos. LOVE IT!

This is how I leveled up. It's the best, if you are working from home. Run close enough to activate. Go back and chill for a while. Rinse and repeat, do other stuff. Make some eggs, have a coke.

@@pg9193 you can also add in the bird that is sitting more or less in front of the white dog and the poor horseman, which usually is the first one to fall xD Love that farming spot

Thanks Panda!

Wow. Thanks Jan!

Thank you Reggie!

@@TobyWanShinobi new video when?

@@reggiecarter6966 Working on it now :) Hopefully posted on Tuesday.

Stoked that you found it!

Haha thanks. Yeah I was running around not knowing how to unlock the map for a while!

I think that 42k boss is patched he won't die for me like that

@@bcsolorza It got patched... which l did my best to try to let people know via cards in the video and a pinned comment at the top of the comments. Here is the updated cheese, which is actually much easier: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtx0ktBlnM_DhKc.html

There are a lot more than 4. I use that area as my go to when I need to top off runes to level up, or just farming. I can get 1300 per enemy with the golden scarab. Going from memory there are about 24 of them scattered all over to the left and right area in front of the bestial sanctum but before the bridge. So can be 30K+ in about 5 minutes depending on how efficient you are. They have a wicked range attack and if there are more than one together it can get intense. But they are pretty dumb and won't aggro if they dont see you attack their friend.

@@robunderwood8214 I just kill the four because they are the easiest to spot and kill in the quickest amount of time. They’re also on flat unobstructed ground vs the others who are in the hills with all sorts of stuff getting in the way.

Yeah I had that feeling for a bit when I first started playing, which is why I mention it :) Thanks for commenting!

Thank you brother, I appreciate it.

Thanks, the fang is my main weapon that I have and was hoping it would be viable

@@BrokenWar46 As you get stronger and improves the Fang it becomes sort of trivial and it's better to also farm the upper floor. Right now with the claw talisman, I'm one hitting them with the jump R2 attack. I start by killing the first buried one while locked on the first guy next to a tree, then immediately jump attack the tree guy, turn to the right and the other buried one is still coming out of the floor. I two hit him with two R1 attacks. Then I lock on the guy on top of a stone to the right and jump attack, kill the one coming out of the floor left of it. Then there's one right above coming out of the floor, jump attack. Now there's a group of three coming out of the floor, I jump attack the left one and Finesse the other two to the right, most times I get both of 'em because they stick together. Then run up, there are two buried. Jump attack the one on the right, two R1's on the left on the left. Go behind the big pot, jump attack the buried one and R1 twice the one in front of it. Look down and there are two on a ledge sitting down and on down of them. Jump attack the closest one, stay on top of the ledge, the other two stay down but they come up jumping and have a long animation of doing nothing after that. Dispose of them with R1 as they jump up. Get on torrent go upstairs, exit torrent. Jump attacks on any that are on the ground and R1 or jump R1 followed by R1 on any that are above ground or manage to come out before being killed. If any group of two manages to stay close together, Finesse them for a quick kill. There are also two easy ones just sitting around next to the hill. And that's it. With the scarab I get around 22k per run, teleport back to the grace. You can get level 100 within a couple hours of these guys and they're great to farm if you just need quick runes to upgrade a weapon or buy stuff from merchants. Also, don't bother looting them after getting their full set for your collection, they drop nothing of importance. Other thing, use your heals liberally just in case you make some weird mistake and gets swarmed. Most of these little groups give you back estus after you dispose of them, so you basically have infinite heals. There are better farm spots after that, like the albinaurics on the way to Mohg, but this one is the safest one with good speed that can be accessed early in the game and will serve you well up to levels 110-120 with an investment of 5-10 hours depending on how fast you can do the route. I also feel that you can do this route with almost any set up because you can jump attack these things easily since they have plenty of horizontal sideways attacks and are easily staggered. And lastly, Godrick's great rune is a good thing to activate here after you've managed to do the route without dying. The added damage will make you 1-2 shot them faster and the extra vigor and fp are not bad either.

Lol thank you. Glad someone appreciated that clip 😌

@@TobyWanShinobi everyone I know Hates that movie. for a reason I don't know i.laughed like hell thru the whole.thing. had forgot All bout it😆

Thank you King!

Me too.. though it seems slower than this because it’s all single target. At lower level I just back stabbed those little guys one by one.

This has been my go to farm.

@@robertkindel9676 true, but also less risk due to the fights being 1v1 because how spread out they are. No FP required, but you can use it if you want.

Nah it’s patched

Checkout all the comments about this. Not patched. If you are experiencing him teleporting away then you aren't staying close enough to him, or you aren't bringing him all the way to the top of the hill. You won't see any poison damage happen to him, he will just immediately die.

@@TobyWanShinobi I’ve kept him right on my tail and taken him and high as he will follow about 10 times. Any other tips?

@@Mahtayoo maybe try right side or left side of trail. Exit game / quit it and restart?

Just did it, with gold scarab. 50k+

I hope you are using this handy dandy map: mapgenie.io/elden-ring/maps/the-lands-between

That is a good one!

Same! Had to find something different haha

Rock on Sarge! Thanks for the comment :) Best of luck!!

Glad to hear it! Which is the flame sword? Sword of night and flame?

@@TobyWanShinobi Yes exactly. You can get it in the Caria Manor very early with a low lvl char

I like the impassible greatbridge for a similar amount. - between 6 & 9k a run, lots of redmane gear, and if the doggos & birbs scare you, lead them to the soldiers and let them do the killing for you. (Gets TONS faster at ~25 int with the glintstone arc) My favorite "I hate re-starting" run is from the 1st Caelid waypoint, grab a dog or two on the way to the ruins (it's an extra 1K if the doggos die to the exploding fire skeletons, and if they don't they go home pretty early). Now run from the ruins to where the invisible scarab gave you redmane's stomp & lead the doggos there into the soldiers (the soldiers distract the doggos, the doggos distract the soldiers, and you carefully murder all of them). Next you stroll (VERY RAPIDLY) past the shrimp-man pest thread things on the way to the ruined greatbridge - repeating the "doggos and soldiers fight, *I* win" recipe. Total between 12 & 30K per run, 3-5 minutes if you are just running for the rest points, 20 or so minutes if you can make the run without getting distracted (It can be REALLY slow if you get hung up on fighting the crows) Discovered the run entirely by accident - trying to rush for the blessed dew talisman, but went to the wrong tower (no teleporter to scary boss here)

Innnnnteresting. I'll have to try this one out. Thanks for the detailed "how to" !

The flame thrower tanks are pretty easy to kill if you sneak up on them for a backstab, though I don't understand how our characters aren't allowed to pull the pilots out lmao

True, but you don't have to progress any quests or beat any bosses.

I can't even do that bird farm since I killed that npc :-)

Also, my point made @ 00:28

@TobyWanShinobi Farming only has one purpose regardless of whether it's boring or not. Also, having to get a weapon to +14 to use the ash of war is a quest within itself. Dont get me wrong, your edit and video is exceptional, but trying to sell this farm to be on par with bird farm is a stretch.
