haha Exactly! The same happened to me, it actually took me a lot of tries, don't give up!

@@noelight2900 any suggestions for prisoner building later in the game? Or just put those points in DEA and int and play around?

I haven't progressed too much, but I can tell you that I did find a merchant who sold me more INT sorceries and they are pretty good so that stat is worth while. Although most of the interesting weapons I've found so far require some Strength, so be sure to invest a bit on that stat too so you have more weapon options.

@@noelight2900 awesome thanks, appreciate the feedback!

Same. Just took five hours.

"Much more harder"

@@dominicvalentin8643 fixed it for you babe, thanks

"generic static patterns in previous games" bro you don't have to call them generic. dancer of boreal valley beat my ass so many times before i learned her completely

I strongly agree, mechanically-wise this is actually one of the best bosses of the series in my opinion. Accepting the challenge he presents is the perfect start for the game.

@@jeromyedge6830 Haha, I'm sure he just meant they used to be more predictable. Which sure didn't save my ass from getting beat by Dancer of the Boreal Valley either XD

Hahaha

😂😂😂

Yeah! That fight was really intense and I loved every second of it! This game is truly special.

@@noelight2900 Agreed!

I was like you once! Until I put all my effort into beating Dark Souls 3 and then this series became my favorite games ever and I ended up beating every single game. Elden Ring with it's open world design gives you a lot of freedom to tackle its challenges when you feel ready. So I really encourage you to give the game a shot. If you like watching it you'll love experiencing it. It will be tough at first but that's part of the process and the game's message. If you don't give up you'll be rewarded. And you can always reach out to people like me in the community if you need advice or have any questions.

Git gud scrub.. Nah but in all seriousnes i'm in the same boat lol.

@@thatdude034 Haha you just have to give it a shot

@@noelight2900 Yeah just got Elden Ring recently but haven't had the time to play it much. Planning on spending the weekend on trying to sharpen up those rolling skillz :)

Thanks bro. I'm happy to see new people giving these games a shot. If you need any help or tips don't hesitate to reach out!

If it's your first time playing, just know magic is generally the easiest to learn. Magic is powerful, then mop up with sword/etc. Go with what you enjoy first and foremost, but magic is how to make the game a bit easier.

I beat him at level 1 all sword and shield.

@@maxpayne421 ...and Balls!🙂

remember that rolling gives you some invincibility when timed right. you'll get it quick

High IQ tips here

Roll, roll, jump, roll, die, watch loading screen, roll die watch loading screen, repeat

@@rikmono That's how it turns out at the end XD

Like boxing instructions! ‘Stay away from that strong right… circle away from it’ Great stuff everyone. I have yet to beat this guy but getting close.

Why that much work i killed him easly on few tries with the horse runing around him while stabbing, actually he went a lil bit mad because of that. Xd

Nice! Yes dodging straight to attacks so you end right beside your enemy and ready to punish is risky but very rewarding and satisfying.

I just run away because the shield bash has a kinda slow charge up so it gave me enough time to run away

The game doesn't register inputs fast enough. Every fight becomes a RNG gamble

@@sigmatic2788That is definitely not the case for me. There must be something wrong with your game or controller

@@noelight2900 every version of the game has frame rate and pacing issues

Smart guy

How do you do a full bar cast

@@Rare.99 i mean spam the spell. at the time i didn't know you could charge the spell so i threw out a bunch of uncharged ones lol

Yeah! I've been loving that new mechanic so much! It's just that at this point I hadn't even thought of jumping as a mean to dodge attacks, much less counterattack XD

Thank you Andrej! Yeah, that's some really valuable advice on how to take advantage of i-frames 👌

For sure

I beat him with Confessor yesterday, that class is amazing! The weapon skill you mentioned does insane damage.

Your welcome! Yeah, time dodges and patiences are the key. You'll see the when you finally beat him all your anxiety will turn to satisfaction!

Great! That's exactly what I love about the game too. There's some frustration along the way but standing up to the challenges the game puts in front of you is really fun and satisfying. I hope you fall in love with the game too and please consider subscribing for more content like this.

Such a fun game bro

@@Anthony.462 Agreed!

True, but even then he would have killed me a few times, he telegraphs his moves well but some have messed up timings which still might screw you over.

ye, I spent 10 hours to defeat him. And I didn't had issue with healing or something it always hes Fing shield attacks that the most pain in the ass. Other stuff is rly ez

Factssssa

@@dannybee9068 Yeah the one-shot shield attacks are scary as heck

Yeah. I just don’t have the patience to get one hit in him every once in a while

Haha, people have come up with many crazy strategies for beating him like that. If you get stuck on another boss just try coming back for him later when you're in a higher level and have improved your skills at the game. No shame in tactically retreating

That is what this game wants you to experience, there's a bit of frustration along the way, but anyone who doesn't give up will be the underdog who comes out on top.

@@noelight2900 well... Noelight I would be honed to have a friend like your self to give me guidance & have patience to play great games like this Elden Ring type games!!! the only people that I find to help me with games like this are Trolls!!! & who lie to me & always gang up on me & kill my character & I just leave & report them & send them a bad rep but I don't think that does not even work any more! I think gaming companies only worry about people stealing content then people cheating & giving people a hard time playing games! u think people would be more respectful towards other people especially now days! so i try to find walkthroughs on KZfaq or I try to google a half decent walk through & keep rolling on like the little train that could!!! all the best to u Noelight & thank u for acknowledging my comment

Exactly! It took me a lot of tries too

Same lmfao

I’m over level 20 and still can’t win

@@terrellnewbill4273 That's okay bro, just come back later when you are better at the game and your level is a bit higher and you'll 100% get him

Thanks Hollywood

@@noelight2900 no problem! Hit level 60 today defeated the two major bosses in the academy too, been trying to clear out areas of most if not all bosses before moving on. Spent close to 20 hours in the first two small maps alone

@@Hollywoodxx95 You are pretty far, nice! You probably have progressed more than me by now haha

Haha thanks Symbol! Hope you got him already

Ya I used my wolves 😆

Thanks Daniel! That was Ratatoskr's video. I watched it too, great stuff!

Nice, that surely does more damage than the two heavy attacks I got in.

For real 😂

Thanks bud. I love these games and am always excited to talk about them.

Thanks for the advice dude. I already made this video to help new players choose the best class for PVE and Bossfights; you might find it helpful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbeWhq6q0dDMe5c.html I do plan on making a guide on my advanced Prisoner build, but it will take some time. Hope you stick around for it!

For sure. The game director is a fan, and Berserk has heavily influenced all of the Souls games

Sure! If you break them down the fights are all about timing and responding to your counterpart's moves

Sekiro was basically a rhythm game and I mean that in the absolute best way possible

@@ineedscissors6176 Exactly! Haha and with those satisfying sword parry clang sounds fights were actual music xd

this is what i dont like about this game. All pattern.

But have you tried it though? Identifying the patterns and punishing the openings is just pure fun and satisfaction. I understand it might not be your cup of tea but I the same time I can't imagine someone who doesn't enjoy finally beating a boss in this game haha

Well... Thank you? 😆

Thanks man. I understand why you mention that. Having a boss so low on health at the same time as you is probably the most nerve racking thing you can experience in gaming. This games just get to you in a way that nothing else in the industry does.

Hahaha I'm actually thankful though, because that's the same thing that saved me at 3:56 so can't complain XD

Thanks Ross, yeah, some bosses have low health but it's still challenging because they barely give you a chance to hit them without getting annihilated XD

Thank you sir! Consider subscribing for more dedicated boss fights like this!

Thanks Lee, imagine how tense it was to actually play those last few moments 😬 it was great haha

The horse is the actual Tree Sentinel, he just happens to have a dude with an axe on top XD

From Software was bold to put him right there, but I'm so happy they did haha!

Haha, thanks Omar! Rolling into boss attacks requires really good timing but it's very rewarding because it gives you bigger windows to counterattack.

Hahaha thank you non-playable character! I really enjoyed this fight too, I've had quite a few crazy endings like these already in boss fights. This game is really epic! Please consider subscribing for more if you enjoyed, cheers!

Interesting, I never even tried to figure out if there was a timing to hit him with Glintblade. As soon as I saw he could bounce them back to you I was like: "Ok we're not doing that" XD

@@noelight2900 Can't say I blame you, the first time he reflects it back at you it's tempting to write it off. But Glintlbade spam is how I ended up beating him once I got the shield timing down. Not as impressive as your run though. Well done!

👍 This is a good way to go about if you don't want to spend that much time learning the fight. But I still really recommend it, it's a lot of fun.

Thanks Cameron! That ending was really intense. Please consider subscribing for more fights like this if you enjoyed!

Yeah, it's nice that bandit's dagger has bleed but it barely compensates for the low damage per hit.

Shhh, don't give us away, we'll get copyrighted

Haha, fighting him like that must be funny looking

Hahaha thanks Igor, it's really just a matter of practice!

Hahaha thankfully I was able to stay cool somehow

Nice strat! That second phase with the one shot shield bashes is really dangerous, playing it like that would be smart.

Thanks Kenopsian

At what level did you do margit? Cuz I was level 24 to finally get it but legit took more than 100 tries

@@drhank33y I was level 30. Using summon and gold sign for the sorcerer really helped. I used rotten stray ashes.

Thank you! Awesome that you got Margit first try!

@@noelight2900 Thanks 🙂 I used up my five healing potions and got like 30% health left. It was pretty exciting. I picked up Margit's Shackle later after the boss, but I can use it on Morgott too as I've read 🙂

Haha thank you. Good positioning for punishing enemy attacks after dodging them is key

lmao

Haha yeah, he's really good for learning how to fight. The samurai's katana is amazing too. I beat him with another character where I picked that class and those sheathed attacks really brought him to his knees

Hahaha. Hopefully! :D

Damn, being a new player and beating Margit by yourself is actually amazing! Well done! I hope you really enjoy this game and end up playing all of their games as many of us have.

That’s actually impressive

@@whereswoods Right?!

Haha I'm actually not getting hurt when attacks go through me because of Invincibility frames. Rolls aren't just for getting away from attacks, if you time them right you can also "go through them".

@@noelight2900Noooo, I absolutely know the mechanics, I'm just AWFUL at them, and got slapped by this boss multiple times before I realised I should just... move on😂

@@OnTheLew Oooh nice haha, yeah, just comeback when you are better at dodging and have a higher level and you'll get him for sure

Yeah, paradoxically since Dark Souls 3 I've been sticking to rather fast weapons for bosses because a lot of them are extremely fast and give you very small windows for punishing; and then been using heavy weapons for smaller enemies to easily stun them. I think I will be sticking to that in this game too.

Hahaha I feel you. It becomes personal at a certain point.

@@Kholaslittlespot1 I know exactly how that feels! Your first Souls game is really tough but you'll never experience anything equal to it! Enjoy!

You can learn some sorceries in the basement of the Waypoint Ruins. Straight East from the starting area, across the swamp bog.

@@noelight2900 thank you so much!

@@noelight2900 just hit playthrough 2 and with what weapons I have it's too easy so I'm making a new character and starting again, might do magic this time round

Thanks dude. Respect for you too, this fight is challenging even if you have a bit more levels.

I've been sinking so much time into Lost Ark and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands... that I wasn't giving much time to Elden Ring. So today, I told myself that this is the day that I beat the Tree Sentinel. Just like you, I finally beat him at level 25... no summons and no horse. I played the long game and let him come to me... it was such a fantastic feeling beating him. I feel like a God right now! 😆

Haha, yeah targeting (locking on) is really important, especially for bossfights. I hope you got him, he's a tough one

Haha, it took me quite a lot of tries too. Really tough boss!

Probably the best part of these games

@@noelight2900 just not when it's you who dies🤣

@@Nerdybdirty Hahaha yeah, staying calm and focused in these intense moments is hard.

Hahaha sucking at a fight actually results in you becoming an expert at it to beat it XD

Exact same thing I did lol took a few hours but it worked In the end

Some of the fights are more difficult, yeah. You'll see that the first main boss is just as difficult as some endgame bosses from previous From Software titles

@@noelight2900 Yea margit took me around 5 hours too. Godrick took about 45min though weirdly enough

@@nujac3341 Yeah, Godrick is actually an easier fight than Margit in my opinion which is interesting. Margit manages to be more challenging while being less complex.

@@noelight2900 I like playing super aggressive and Margit punishes hyper-aggression more-so than Godrick does. Though it could have been leveling related. I was level 10 when I fought Margit and 24 for Godrick.

@@nujac3341 yeah, level plays a difference but I think the key thing is that Godrick isn't able to punish your attacks as easily as Margit, as you said

Everyone can eventually get used to fighting without using meta though. It just takes practice.

XD

They look really similar. But the Prisoner helmet is most likely based on Griffith from Berserk.

Exactly! Every souls fan deeply knows that feeling. It has happened to me a lot of times already in this game.

@@noelight2900 with a kid and demanding job I am.nit sure about jumping into a souls game bright now. I think I'll just watch streams and sit this one out for now....or who knows, maybe I dont need to sleep after all.

@@Rubango Haha I understand. Just be sure to play it once you get a chance. Game's amazing!

I agree Ezi... I mean Desmond. You know? You really look like this Italian guy I know... He's from Florence

@@noelight2900 😂

As long as you lock on to the enemy and stay at a normal distance the camera should keep him centered without issues

Interesting idea to take the helmet off for more I-frames, I didn't think about that. I hope you already got him, you seem to have come to understand the fight pretty well
