Don't know if you mention it later, but enemy poise (PvE) is not related to stance/stance break mechanic. Seeing that getting mixed up a lot.

Oh dear this has made me realise how many runes I’ve wasted. Oh never mind makes the game even more of a challenge I suppose. I miss sekiro

Well fucking made. Ive learned more shit from this video alone than anything i have ever learned from school. Thanks man❤

This video was extremely helpful, thank you for making it!

One thing I've been worrying about, is that if I accidently go too hard into one stat (eg. Int, where I started off as an astrologer and put 10 pts into Int, and ended up swinging over to Str and using those weapons) that I'll be screwed when I reach end game using melee weapons. That strain had me completely start again to protect myself against being super weak later on.

I find Mohg is the toughest fight in the game. I could never get the timming of the dodges right, and using a shield in phase two is useless because of the blood flame.

All clear <3

holy shit dude, ive watched years of elden ring youtube, your vids are hands down top of the S tier for ER content. Great production, concise yet thorough, you have a talent for the presenting and VO work and your manner is super welcoming.

This is a perfect video no notes does its job , excellent presentation. Professional level quality.

Hi! I've started to follow you walkthrough! I'm on episode 4. If you don't mind, I wanted to share a suggestion for you videos :) I really like when you put on the screen a "quest log/progression" showing where we are at in a certain quest line or collected items. I think if you could add a distinctive sound when this information appears on screen would be amazing, since in my case i play at the same time while playing your videos, so there is a good chanse that sometimes I'll miss this information you share, and with a unique sound will make sure that I pay attention to the information presented. Thank you so much for your time and considering my suggestion!

It's my 3th day trying to beat Malenia (I'm sticking with no summons), I really appreciate the guide, great job putting all these tips together. I don't know if you talked about this before, but I think you missed an area and a boss in Volcano Manor. I don't know how to get there from the Manor, but if you get abducted by the virgin in the Academy, instead of dropping down for the route to get the famous somber 7, there is a cave nearby that will lead to a grace, and then to the boss. It's an Abductor Virgin duo. They drop the Inquisitor's Girandole. I thought I should mentioned it before you finish the walkthrough

Theres a summon sign inside messmers arena??

Super informative and useful! Thanks.

Im 5 years late but im here

Finally !!! I finally understand, and I didn't even have to do and differential equations.

Staff of loss is listed both as backloaded and frontloaded. Which one is true?

The silliest thing to me is that a lot of people still think that leveling absurdly high "takes all the challenge away" as if overall level magically spikes your power at all times, like this is some traditional RPG where being level 100 is just linearly better. In reality, unless you exclusively use weapons like the Sword of Night and Flame or the Prince of Death and Golden Order catalysts, the majority of stat levels will have... literally zero effect on most builds because you can't benefit from scaling that isn't on a weapon, and leveling one single damage stat to 80 has almost the same effect as having them all at 80 for maybe 90-95% of weapons. The biggest difference in "difficulty" is maybe having an extra batch of levels to pump Mind and Endurance past the minimum viable endgame values to at least 60, after getting Vigor to 40 for the base game or 60 for the DLC. And then comes the 80/80 Int and Fai thresholds that make the hybrid catalysts start surpassing anything else, while the other three basically just... expand your available gear variety laterally. And of course anything above 60/60/60/80/80/80/80/80 is worth single digits of AR at best, at which point Endurance for extra equip load ironically becomes the highest value again. Maybe people would understand that if they actually knew how softcaps and scaling work. Even so, due to how the game scales things up, the entire range from like 300 to the level cap really doesn't make the game much "easier" beyond saving a few larval tears...

you got yourself a sub sir

pretty great Melenia guide! I could only beat her with minic tear on phase one and using comet azur to cheese her during the scarlet bombs

remember when you wanted to do 30 minutes videos

Ialmost gave up looking ty

Wtf I missed the large ember. I also didn't cut the tail. No wonder this fight was so hard

Thank you. I finished the main and DLC, still had no idea about the soft and hard, just adding attribute to what I feel

After six year your video is helpful for me 🤝🏻

Thank you for the walkthrough I immediately subbed! I want to do a fresh play through with a full walkthrough. Thanks for your time and effort!

Well now I know there’s at least one other person who also calls them somber weapons

I don't understand the comment about mind having a soft cap at 50; it looks like it actually *increases* and doesn't fall below 49 until about 57

Casually listening to this at work in the background and it still amazes me how much I missed skipped without knowing. Keep it up man it’s great work.

i call them somber weapons

Hey dude idk if youll read this but i just wanted to thank you for this video and the ashes one as well. Ive stayed away from playing Elden Ring not because of the difficulty, but specifically because of the convoluted stats system. When you look at it at first it looks like a vomit of random numbers. Just when you get the hand of the barebones basics, then you have to understand how those numbers change in relation to your attributes, weapon scaling, armor weight and effects, infusions, talismans, flasks, incantation debuffs/buffs, skills, status effects, etc. The vague descriptions of items/equipment's also doent help because they dont give specific numbers. Simply put, its not beginner friendly. Ive probably watched a dozen hours at this point just trying to understand the basics of this game, and i dont even own it on Steam yet. I left a like and saved it to my ER playlist for when i get the game so i can come back to it. There is a certain way i would like to play (daggers or beast claw build) so i want to be able to focus on that as im playing instead of constantly having to experiment with things i dont want to and waste my time.

Wouldn’t one of the soft caps for physical damage actually be 59 not 58?

You have the biggest help getting me through the game and I have learned a lot thanks to your videos. Side note I like your commentary style and explanations. Keep it up dude. I’ll be replaying the game to finish everything I missed.

The discovery stat isn’t as misleading as it might seem, but it may be unintuitive for somebody new to a game with a discovery type stat. Its simply showing you the total normalized drop chance of items. If an item has a 40% chance to drop, 100 discovery means the item’s drop chance isn’t affected at all. It will remain 40. It’s 100% of 40%. Not sure if it can go negative (most item discovery stats cannot) but if it COULD, then you’d see a reduction. 50 discovery would mean all your drops are cut in half so that item with a 40% chance to drop now has a 20% chance to drop. It is just as simple as said in the video- 109 discovery means you’re at 109% total normal percent or an item’s drop chance multiplied by 1.09.

I always rush my mind stat to 60 as fast as possible. I know you’re probably asking “Why would you do that?” And that’s a great question.

120 hours playtime lol not a flex but the amount of stuff I just learned is crazy 😂

Vigor also levels fire resistance because esoterically fire is associated with vigor, the etheric flame behind metabolism, will,etc. aries

>The average person will get 15 to 30 endurance levels >Me, with 73 endurance rocking the Veteran armor w/ 2 greatswords, a greatshield, claws, a seal, and enough additional equip load available for a colossal weapon I am not the average person, I see I see Edit: watching the runes segment, yeah, it costs 530k+ runes for me to level up from 249 to 250. Is it worth levelling up still? Absolutely, I'm not beating the enemies as fast as I could. This could be a weapon issue, a spells issue, or simply a skill issue. My stats are 55 VIT, 30 MIND, 73 END, 55 STR, 65 DEX, 10 INT, 50 FAI, 10 ARC. Am I having fun? Yes, because I can tag team a boss with my Mimic Tear no problem What NG+ am I on? I just started NG+1 yesterday because I heard people were having fun :) I spent the majority of my 200+hrs run searching and farming for every single weapon and armor I could get.

Thank you so much brother, i would have never been able to explore the map like this, i was going to fight seath with a bow and arrow

Me who has finished the base game coming back to the drawing board since the DLC is rocking me. I love katanas because I loved the book of 5 rings growing up, but my stats are pretty random.

did you cover the subterranean underground off video

I meant to mention this in the video, but it slipped my mind. You should have access to the Stalwart Horn Charm +1, the Mottled Necklace +1, and some invigorating cured meat, all of which will boost your robustness and increase your resistance to blood loss. Could be useful through this entire area, especially in the boss fight.

Yo man so i did everything in the guide i placed the lord vessel and stuff but no mater how many times i restart my game the golden crystal golem just wont spawn. I placed the lordvessel killed the hydra restarted my game and no golden crystal golem

I miss the Low stats Chaos builds...

what weapon where you using

The classic boss scenario, finding the right attempt to stop after. This might be one of the hardest tasks in the history of mankind. Took myself many attempts but what an awesome fight. Keep up the great work!

At 3:53 I get a mobile start wars ad… I’m ready for??? 😢

Gravity is really cool as in we don’t actually know why just that it do

This is so helpful!!!
