Sorry for the lower quality everyone; it usually processes it in this time and I scheduled it to release while I was asleep 😅 must be everyone uploading their playthroughs slowing everything down 😣 should be HD soon enough!
I don't care if the quality is good or bad, I just want to see you Lobos playing Elder Ring! I've been waiting for months and it won't be a video quality that will stop me!
I used to spend 20 minutes buffering 240p videos years ago, I can tolerate watching you in 360p for a day lol. Hope you're enjoying this game so far, lobos. I've seen steam reviews be mixed due to complaints of tons of performance issues I don't notice with your gameplay

Now that I've scoured the first mapped area and cleared every mini-dungeon I've come across, I'm taking a break from Elden Ring to watch Lobos play Elden Ring. What a joyous day.
@@RW-ij1ci Yeah, I caught up with the vods and started watching live while playing because I'm insanely addicted. Since he finished I'm watching other people's playthroughs while I get through the late-game. 115 hours in...
@@AlexandrMaddness I'm the same way but I've been loving every minute of it. I think not having a quest log that gets bogged down with dozens of quests and objectives helps the wandering feel more natural
@@thelegalsystem Oh yeah don't even worry about that. Going off the main path before advancing the main one is a DS tradition. A beauty of these games is that they offer a special and unique experience for everyone. Go your own way and be proud!
Boss Fights: 20:00 Grafted Scion 35:11 Soldier of Godrick 51:35 Tree Sentinel 1:24:28 Erdtree Burial Watchdog 1:55:27 Beastman of Farum Azula 2:49:45 Margit, the Fell Omen
I spent 9 hours exploring and constantly finding new things before I eventually just had to stop myself from continuing and go fight Margit, and Lobos is fighting him in like 2 hours. It’s going to be awesome to see all the different routes people go through the game on depending on where they go and what they find
Same! I was at 17 hours before Margit. And a lot of that time was just exploring and filling out the map, meeting NPCs and taking it all in. Super cool!
Dude I'm on 18 hours and exploring south west I'm going to see what all I can get done before beating Margit. I've Leveled up alot farming this big group on the road
It is a little reassuring that he kind of struggled with Margit at first, because I also reached him that early and got my ass kicked for hours before taking a step back and leveling up.
50 hours in now, watching these now cause I feel comfortable not getting spoiled! Glad to join for the ride, been looking forward to seeing your reactions to this. Hour and a half in and hoping Lobos realized how important stance breaking is. He's basically discarding the critical attacks by spamming R1 nonstop xD
I keep fudging my crits for some reason, I go for the riposte at the glow bits and in the correct position for smaller enemies but it's like a 50/50 chance that I'll get it off otherwise I just smack them out of the stance break or 'wake up' the ones with the glow I don't think I'm alone in this, my standing theory is that if you don't have enough stamina to pull off the initial thrust it just won't happen and you get the default R1 instead
I remember being in college finding your channel because i kept getting my ass kicked, crazy to think 10 years later and this game and you are still an awesome constant
The way Lobos detachedly and intellectually observes the moves and such of bosses is so fascinating to watch. It's the total opposite of my instinctual way of playing; he consciously notes patterns and openings whereas I subconsciously get a feeling for it. Very cool to see :D
Yeah. I just got hit multiple times by the fire of the cat boss and just decided to stay away from her. He gets hit 2 times and realizes that he can deal damage after. Crazy! XD
Won't be able to play this for a good while because of responsibilities coming in the way, but I'll be sure to check out your playthrough once I've had a chance to go at it myself. Good luck Lobos, hope you have fun with it!
I remember the first ever twitch vod i watched on youtube, and it was you Lobos playing the only R2 Artorias attack run. It was so entertaining and i thought, uhmm, this is a thing. You will always be my most loved streamer out there, no matter the numbers. Thank you!
Same, just hit 10hrs played and still in Limgrave (though I got teleported to another area by a teleport traps but went back as soon as I found a Grace), there 's so much to explore and bosses everywhere! The night only one's surprised me as I didn't know that was a thing until one ambushed me whilst looting, a big skull-faced bird thing aptly called "deathbird".
@@noobmaster1368 Yeah the time I just spend in Limgrave is just about as long as it takes me to complete Dark Souls 3 and both of its DLC. Granted its 1st playthrough vs 20th Playthrough but its still crazy.
Disclaimer: This is not a "WHY ARE YOU GUYS HAVING FUN AND NOT HATING THE GAME?!?!?!?" This is just a very depressing take on elden ring and i fucking envy you to death if you genuinly have fun with this game and can't stop playing, god i wish i could switch places with you lol. I got bored after 26 hours and couldn't do more, as a souls veteran it pains my soul to say that elden ring didn't do it for me and I would never think about doing another playthrough that forces me to play in limgrave for another 14 hours just to beat the first 2 major bosses without having to fight them for 1 hour beacuse of the shitty damage my character does unless he uses some kind of spell. It's not even the difficulty, it's the open world that dissapointed and burned me the most and made me quit, all of these fueled high expectations just for an open world that takes the content of 2 areas of ds3 and spreads it without much variation (spoilers: except that one entrance to an underground place which was nice) other than the same items, enemies and some repeated minibosses just to give you a poor feel of exploration alongside a crafting system that was made just to fill the world with items and not try new and more original ideas. There's a lot of things i likes and disliked but the fact that this game feels like dark souls 1 but with keywords changed makes the story very uninteresting for me. I just hope that this is the game that finally puts to rest the old souls formula and makes fromsoftware try new things that aren't the same "r1 - dodge and repeat" game.
wasn’t able to get it til this past week but i’m just level 40 and starting ur playthrough. i didn’t wanna get spoilers before. but you got me to try again on ds1 in 2014 and i’ve binged from soft since then. so glad to see this playthrough finally
Thank you for uploading these videos lobos! I am like yourself and will not watch anything until my first play through is done. As soon as i am done i will be watching all of these!!
Used to watch all of ur vids in highschool then fell off in college but coming back now to watch you play elden ring because i cant afford it and watching you play DS3 and all your DS1 challenge runs helped me through a rly dark mental time so thank you
I can barely keep watching, every time he destroys dozens of barrels and crates with abandon, but refuses to break the skulls that drop runes. It's maddening! Love your stuff man.
Lobos in the beginning looks like he was almost crying. What a great soul! It felt like seeing an NBA player about to play in a game he knows he's going to win but its so grateful for everything he has and humble and happy he's doing what he loves. This man is one of the few who inspired me to stream. I hope one day he'll find this puny little comment.
Wish I coulda watched live, but this is the first Fromsoft game I've bought on release and wanted to beat it once before digesting other people's playthroughs. It has take me a minute, but I am now ready to watch Lobos play.
@@Jorr_G440 the fuck are you talking about, I'm 75 hours in and I still haven't beaten the fourth story boss. Don't even get me started on new characters, different classes and builds.
@@tarantulamadness6191 That’s not true at all. I beat the game at 66 hours and killed roughly 120 bosses, only using minimal guides for very few character side quests. The game can easily be beaten around 2 and a half hours after that.
Playing my first playthrough too loobie, I will save this for much later!!! The game is a masterpiece so far. Time to enjoy this work art my friend. Blessings and keep it up the amazing work!
I just got it a few days ago and already have 50 hours of play time. I waited to watch your streams to keep the whole thing fresh and it’s so fulfilling to not know what to do!
almost 30 hours into the game and lobos finds an entire path i never noticed in under 3 hours. im over here all the way across the map running into dead ends and the way i needed to go was 30 seconds from a semi-tutorial bonfire. gdi this game is good.
Wow. I searched Limgrave for dozens of hours and never found that Groveside Cave. Love these early first impressions. "I don't think jumping is gonna be good for dodging" Cut to me 100+ hours in jumping over every sweep attack for a free R2 stagger lol Can't wait to watch the full playthrough when I finish my own!
I'm so loving watching this after I've put 300+ hours into this magnificent game. Love seeing FromSoft fans experiencing a new game and Lobos is at the top of that list
I'm not sure if Lobos learns this later, but it's a neat thing not many streamers I follow have noticed. If you break the glowing skulls, they contain some pocket souls. Usually 200 runes worth.
Your raw skill and learning speed in these games is astounding. I knew you were legendarily good at Soulsborne but seeing you play this for the first time really shows your talent. It's not just knowing everything about the game that makes you good, you're just insane.
God I love this game, and god it's so fun seeing Lobos get immersed in a new Fromsoft title! First time being around for launch, best of luck fellow Tarnished!
Lobos, I have been waiting to watch this for so long. I missed the stream yesterday and I was so disappointed. I have also been avoiding spoilers so I could experience this with you. You have helped me so much with getting through these last 3 years or so and these long videos take so much stress off my mind. You are such an entertainer and I cant wait for the content to come. Thanks Lobos. Love ya.
@@annarenfold438 Torches are basically their own weapon class, really; I suspect the Steel-Wire Torch would make the obligatory Torch-only run not too rough. And Faith is actually a decent stat in this game as well. Holy Damage is accessible pretty early, and Incantations are useful and versatile. The Pyromancies are lumped in with Incantations.
I tell you. It’s always a pleasure to watch a professional Dark Souls player. Comparing your dodges and timing to my own - such skillful playing is a treat to watch.
Yea I remember watching him play dark souls for the first time (my first time watching not his first time playing) and immediately I learned how backstabs actually work just by watching how easily he walks around guys without even locking on
I have returned to see you do this. You're the dark souls guy in my opinion. From zero damage playthroughs to shield only runs to use what you pick up, I think I've watched you play more than I've even played souls games. I'm excited
Haha remember when I was just so excited and looking at the steam page to see when it opens, and I keep seeing your stream, and I jump away like a vampire from sunlight cause spoilers.
Even in I Dont care if it's HD or nor, I will wait for it. I expected your uploads tomorrow or even in 2 days so it doesn't bother me to wait . I hope you have a blast playing it.
Hey Lobos, I'll be honest, I'll not stay for the video but I've been watching your channel for years (...and years) and hope you enjoy the journey. I'll finish my game with no spoilers and I'll come back at a later date. Have a good week.
I'm a year late, my only issue with it, and I love elden ring wholeheartedly, is that all of the minor bosses are just regular enemies with a boss Healthbar
I suffered though about 10 videos of Askongokds first playthrough and could t handle it. It’s so painful to watch. Glad I found your first, refreshing to see someone take it seriously.
I love Lobos' way of playing these games. Willing to give some solid attempts to that horseback boss, experimenting with new mechanics to see how they work, etc, taking his time but learning a lot along the way. Very cool.
I’m watching your Playthru so I can get ready cause I’m going to buy it after your play through and I just wanna know some stuff before I hate going into it blind thank you
I'm glad for a video like this, since playing it myself has proven to be... difficult. Long story short, my computer has such a hard time running Elden Ring that the models don't load in. I can't even see the enemies. so I guess I'll have to enjoy it along side Lobos.
Have you updated your graphics drivers to the latest ones? I had the same issue but driver update fixed it and now it runs smoothly. I also reinstalled the game after doing so but idk if that's a needed step or not.
Pro tip man, I'm on the minimum requirements, and in a couple spots in the early game(and when I first start up the game for the day), I get terrible artifacting and black screening like that. What I found that works is changing the resolution. I'll drop it to 1600 for 20 minutes and then swap back to high res. Fixes everything. Was the only fix I could find. Maybe it works for you!
I am 20 hours in and I haven't even beat Godrick yet. Zooming around the high level zones on my trusty goat, snatching high level items on the fly and entering locations I should not be in yet (Divine Tower of Caelid OMG) has been my jam for the past 2 days. God, this game is fucking awesome.
I really LOVE how a lot of this does feel like a continuation of DSIII. I loved DSIII and Elden Ring feels like a smooth transition into a new world with bits of familiarity sprinkled throughout.
12:48 I didn't realize this class starts out with 2 really quite different melee weapons, that's actually really cool! I kinda enjoy upgrading multiple too, though it can be a bit of extra grind. It's cool to commit to one weapon and dealing with it's strong and weak cases, but having a tool belt is fun cause it's varied, and that versatility can counter so many situations. Ashes of War have only made this process more fun, and also provide more versatility to those committing to one weapon. Your Brick Hammer a bit short and slow? Maybe try something that works well when that hurts. Got a backup for those situations? Double down on it's specialization instead.
The art style and sense of wonder in this game is a major reason why I'm entralled with it. something that finally is as good or better than bloodborne in that regard
Fun fact; I went completely around the Tree Sentinel and that vendor so I didn't find the crafting kit until I was about 25-30 hours in and decided to go back and check it out.
I finally get round to watching the Lobos playthrough. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and recently started my Ng+ playthrough. I can't recommend Lobos's discord for good discussion about ER as well.
I played for about an hour this morning, its my first soulsbourne game! You made the catacombs look so easy compared to the thrashing i got but I made it though. Looking forward to more
@@LunarWolf40 Awesome, man. Twitter discourse leads me to believe that many newer players fell off early so it’s encouraging to see that there’s those who stuck with it.
I switched the jump and interact buttons around because I randomly jumped so much, now it feels way more natural. I put off watching you play this because I've been playing it myself, but I'm like 100 hours in now so I get to treat myself with some Lobos action lobosLove
I believe the counter attack does fat stagger damage to them and one or two will stagger most enemies. I have only gotten about 90 minutes in so far so I'm not sure if Lobos figures this out by the end but it's been making me crazy watching the counter be discounted so much here towards the start of the run. Great content so far i'm loving it!
@@SamOween As far as I can tell, it's ENTIRELY about the dodgy and variable performance. I'm lucky enough to have a solid experience on my rig, but others not so much. Hopefully they will fix these issues quickly.
This game is truly something else. After discovering a bit of the map, I assumed that I had mostly discovered everything. Not. Even. Remotely. Close. The map is the biggest thing I’ve ever seen, it expands far in every direction well past the initial appearance of the map. This game is truly incredible.
I've been waiting for this!, Recently discovered Hollow Knight and it absorbed me to its vast world, rich detail, brilliant artistic direction, great characters and profound lore so I'm currently only playing that. Now the second best way to experience Elden Ring, is to watch Lobos playing it.
I kept pushing X to pick stuff up lol sadly won't be watching this play thru to far but will as I progress in my own play thru good luck lobosjr and hope you enjoy it as much as I am
I don't know if people understand how helpful exploration is in this early area especially. There's an item you can find that can temporarily stun Margit a couple times, a bunch of powerful weapons, and tons of exp. Also I do think they need to make the Spirit Bell clearer on how/where to get considering how important it is to the game.
Favorite line so far: 51:00 "I see your challenge, and I accept, Miyazaki." Then I remember the railing climbing he did in the duke's archives in a mod and fear he might do it.
Watching after a year and having beat the game plenty of times. Sure is refreshing watching someone actually read everything and not skip dialogue and wonder why they're lost😂.
it took Fromsoft about how many dozen of their games to finally have a Proper dedicated old school Castlevania-style jump button hey? that is also what i said to myself when Sekiro came out you are slowly evolving my Trolly-ass friend Miyazaki you are Evolving 👌
i would watch you live but im playing the game myself. so instead im watching parts of your playthrough ive already passed in mine. good stuff lobos as always.
One of the things I'm struggling with in this game is the instinct that if I start sprinting I can't roll without jumping by tapping the roll button too quickly. It doesn't work that way in this game but from years of playing dark souls / bloodborne I have always been in the habit of making a conscious decision if i'm going to sprint away or roll, and i can't do both too close to each other. This game i absolutely fantastic! Edit: I say this because it seems Lobos had been struggling with a similar mindset during the fight against Margit, there were times where he just started sprinting and for whatever reason didn't roll, and I can understand why that might happen.
For the frame drops, fight him near the church, not down in that small valley that seems like it's an intended boss arena. The valley contains a transition point between several areas, which means it's constantly loading new areas as you move around during the fight, which is what's causing most of the drops. By staying near the church, you can avoid this. (Also there's actually an animation for him destroying the church a bit if he attacks it.)
Sorry for the lower quality everyone; it usually processes it in this time and I scheduled it to release while I was asleep 😅 must be everyone uploading their playthroughs slowing everything down 😣 should be HD soon enough!
Thank you LOBOS.... I can wait a bit longer. Sorry we're stupid about how UA-cam processes videos.
I don't care if the quality is good or bad, I just want to see you Lobos playing Elder Ring!
I've been waiting for months and it won't be a video quality that will stop me!
I used to spend 20 minutes buffering 240p videos years ago, I can tolerate watching you in 360p for a day lol. Hope you're enjoying this game so far, lobos. I've seen steam reviews be mixed due to complaints of tons of performance issues I don't notice with your gameplay
Thanks for the info. I'm REALLY debating whether I watch your playthrough or wait until I get a PS5 and experience it myself.

I cannot thank you enough
Now that I've scoured the first mapped area and cleared every mini-dungeon I've come across, I'm taking a break from Elden Ring to watch Lobos play Elden Ring.
What a joyous day.
Same, been doing that since ds2 lol
@@Total_Inertia yep me to Ahah
Literally in the same boat, lol.
Hahaha exact same thing I'm doing, I'm about 40 hours in, so I got PLENTY of lobos to watch while working :D
@@RW-ij1ci Yeah, I caught up with the vods and started watching live while playing because I'm insanely addicted.
Since he finished I'm watching other people's playthroughs while I get through the late-game. 115 hours in...
I'm so lost playing this and I love every minute of it
I thought I was being bad going off the main path but then the game keeps rewarding my aimless wandering with awesome stuff
Thanks, I’m not feeling that bad anymore. I’m getting sidetracked so easily, so after some time can’t really remember what I was going for.
@@AlexandrMaddness I'm the same way but I've been loving every minute of it. I think not having a quest log that gets bogged down with dozens of quests and objectives helps the wandering feel more natural
@@thelegalsystem Oh yeah don't even worry about that. Going off the main path before advancing the main one is a DS tradition. A beauty of these games is that they offer a special and unique experience for everyone. Go your own way and be proud!
Sameeee I've already played it for 30 hours
Boss Fights:
20:00 Grafted Scion
35:11 Soldier of Godrick
51:35 Tree Sentinel
1:24:28 Erdtree Burial Watchdog
1:55:27 Beastman of Farum Azula
2:49:45 Margit, the Fell Omen
I spent 9 hours exploring and constantly finding new things before I eventually just had to stop myself from continuing and go fight Margit, and Lobos is fighting him in like 2 hours. It’s going to be awesome to see all the different routes people go through the game on depending on where they go and what they find
Same! I was at 17 hours before Margit. And a lot of that time was just exploring and filling out the map, meeting NPCs and taking it all in. Super cool!
Dude I'm on 18 hours and exploring south west I'm going to see what all I can get done before beating Margit. I've Leveled up alot farming this big group on the road
I'm in the same boat. 15 hours and I'm just now thinking about going to see Margit for the first time.
It is a little reassuring that he kind of struggled with Margit at first, because I also reached him that early and got my ass kicked for hours before taking a step back and leveling up.
I mean, you can access at least 50% of the game without touching a single boss other than the obligatory tutorial boss, that opens up HUGE potential.
50 hours in now, watching these now cause I feel comfortable not getting spoiled! Glad to join for the ride, been looking forward to seeing your reactions to this. Hour and a half in and hoping Lobos realized how important stance breaking is. He's basically discarding the critical attacks by spamming R1 nonstop xD
I keep fudging my crits for some reason, I go for the riposte at the glow bits and in the correct position for smaller enemies but it's like a 50/50 chance that I'll get it off otherwise I just smack them out of the stance break or 'wake up' the ones with the glow
I don't think I'm alone in this, my standing theory is that if you don't have enough stamina to pull off the initial thrust it just won't happen and you get the default R1 instead
It's incredible seeing how far you have come and you are still rocking it. I'm a fan since you were doing DS 1 playthroughs and speed running 💨
Me too!
Not the same when there aren't an abundance of "Try finger, but hole" messages when you exit the first room
Try two handed
@@SleeperOptic, but hole
I remember being in college finding your channel because i kept getting my ass kicked, crazy to think 10 years later and this game and you are still an awesome constant
The way Lobos detachedly and intellectually observes the moves and such of bosses is so fascinating to watch. It's the total opposite of my instinctual way of playing; he consciously notes patterns and openings whereas I subconsciously get a feeling for it. Very cool to see :D
Yeah. I just got hit multiple times by the fire of the cat boss and just decided to stay away from her. He gets hit 2 times and realizes that he can deal damage after. Crazy! XD
Won't be able to play this for a good while because of responsibilities coming in the way, but I'll be sure to check out your playthrough once I've had a chance to go at it myself. Good luck Lobos, hope you have fun with it!
I’m right there with you sadly lol
Same here
How many responsibilities could a cat have? Eat, tear around the house, poop, sleep the other 20 hours of the day.
Me either dude
yes bro same here.
I remember the first ever twitch vod i watched on youtube, and it was you Lobos playing the only R2 Artorias attack run. It was so entertaining and i thought, uhmm, this is a thing. You will always be my most loved streamer out there, no matter the numbers. Thank you!
Not watching until I play the game myself but I promise i will. Love you Lobos, glad to see you still making content ❤️
I freaking love this game. 9 Hours in and I'm still exploring Limgrave. Can't wait to start exploring another area on Sunday or so.^^
Same, just hit 10hrs played and still in Limgrave (though I got teleported to another area by a teleport traps but went back as soon as I found a Grace), there 's so much to explore and bosses everywhere! The night only one's surprised me as I didn't know that was a thing until one ambushed me whilst looting, a big skull-faced bird thing aptly called "deathbird".
@@stevesmith5883 I found the Deathbird wil fighting two of those Trolls at the same time. It didn't end well for me.^^
Yeah limgrave is hugeeeee
@@noobmaster1368 Yeah the time I just spend in Limgrave is just about as long as it takes me to complete Dark Souls 3 and both of its DLC.
Granted its 1st playthrough vs 20th Playthrough but its still crazy.
Disclaimer: This is not a "WHY ARE YOU GUYS HAVING FUN AND NOT HATING THE GAME?!?!?!?" This is just a very depressing take on elden ring and i fucking envy you to death if you genuinly have fun with this game and can't stop playing, god i wish i could switch places with you lol.
I got bored after 26 hours and couldn't do more, as a souls veteran it pains my soul to say that elden ring didn't do it for me and I would never think about doing another playthrough that forces me to play in limgrave for another 14 hours just to beat the first 2 major bosses without having to fight them for 1 hour beacuse of the shitty damage my character does unless he uses some kind of spell.
It's not even the difficulty, it's the open world that dissapointed and burned me the most and made me quit, all of these fueled high expectations just for an open world that takes the content of 2 areas of ds3 and spreads it without much variation (spoilers: except that one entrance to an underground place which was nice) other than the same items, enemies and some repeated minibosses just to give you a poor feel of exploration alongside a crafting system that was made just to fill the world with items and not try new and more original ideas.
There's a lot of things i likes and disliked but the fact that this game feels like dark souls 1 but with keywords changed makes the story very uninteresting for me.
I just hope that this is the game that finally puts to rest the old souls formula and makes fromsoftware try new things that aren't the same "r1 - dodge and repeat" game.
I love this game because in the beginning they throw you into Limgrave , and basically say "k , have fun"
wasn’t able to get it til this past week but i’m just level 40 and starting ur playthrough. i didn’t wanna get spoilers before. but you got me to try again on ds1 in 2014 and i’ve binged from soft since then. so glad to see this playthrough finally
Thank you for uploading these videos lobos! I am like yourself and will not watch anything until my first play through is done. As soon as i am done i will be watching all of these!!
Used to watch all of ur vids in highschool then fell off in college but coming back now to watch you play elden ring because i cant afford it and watching you play DS3 and all your DS1 challenge runs helped me through a rly dark mental time so thank you
Really impressed by the Margit fight! Lobos picks up boss patterns very quickly.
Seriously. When you think about it dude has had to master every boss of every game
I can barely keep watching, every time he destroys dozens of barrels and crates with abandon, but refuses to break the skulls that drop runes. It's maddening!
Love your stuff man.
Lobos in the beginning looks like he was almost crying. What a great soul!
It felt like seeing an NBA player about to play in a game he knows he's going to win but its so grateful for everything he has and humble and happy he's doing what he loves.
This man is one of the few who inspired me to stream. I hope one day he'll find this puny little comment.
found it ❤
Lobos blind playthroughs are the absolute best on youtube. Thanks for the fantastic content!
Wish I coulda watched live, but this is the first Fromsoft game I've bought on release and wanted to beat it once before digesting other people's playthroughs. It has take me a minute, but I am now ready to watch Lobos play.
8 hours in, and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. This game is going to consume my life.
@@Jorr_G440 If you aren't fighting all the bosses and shit. This game has 83 bosses in it, you ain't beat them all yet. 60 hours my butt hole.
@@Jorr_G440 it is as long
@@Jorr_G440 witcher 3 is dogshit
@@Jorr_G440 the fuck are you talking about, I'm 75 hours in and I still haven't beaten the fourth story boss. Don't even get me started on new characters, different classes and builds.
@@tarantulamadness6191
That’s not true at all. I beat the game at 66 hours and killed roughly 120 bosses, only using minimal guides for very few character side quests. The game can easily be beaten around 2 and a half hours after that.
I’ve never gotten to watch you play a new FS game. It’s awesome to watch you learn a new boss and stuff. Really helpful!
Playing my first playthrough too loobie, I will save this for much later!!! The game is a masterpiece so far. Time to enjoy this work art my friend. Blessings and keep it up the amazing work!
That Dark Before Dawn album cover pic though 👏🏼👏🏼
@@jonnyb2020 yeah bro, Breaking Benjamin is life, Breaking Benjamin is love!
I just got it a few days ago and already have 50 hours of play time. I waited to watch your streams to keep the whole thing fresh and it’s so fulfilling to not know what to do!
It’s been years since I’ve watch your videos. I’m glad to see your content again and you look great and healthy!
Every time I think I'm decent at Souls game, Lobos is there to knock me down a peg and shown me how its really done. Thank you Sir!
almost 30 hours into the game and lobos finds an entire path i never noticed in under 3 hours. im over here all the way across the map running into dead ends and the way i needed to go was 30 seconds from a semi-tutorial bonfire. gdi this game is good.
Wow. I searched Limgrave for dozens of hours and never found that Groveside Cave.
Love these early first impressions. "I don't think jumping is gonna be good for dodging"
Cut to me 100+ hours in jumping over every sweep attack for a free R2 stagger lol
Can't wait to watch the full playthrough when I finish my own!
the amount of i-frames on the lowr body tat jumping has is crazy, not just good for doging but attacking too, it's almost op honestly...
I'm so loving watching this after I've put 300+ hours into this magnificent game. Love seeing FromSoft fans experiencing a new game and Lobos is at the top of that list
I have gotten quite a long ways into the game, but not done yet. It is so fun going back now and watching your journey.
Love your content, keep it up!
I'm not sure if Lobos learns this later, but it's a neat thing not many streamers I follow have noticed. If you break the glowing skulls, they contain some pocket souls. Usually 200 runes worth.
"Look mother, I finally saved up enough of my pocket runes for a level up to make me stronger!" - Gets instantly rekt by the next mob.
Crush em with torrents hooves
souls in this game are so cheap dude, cheaper than ds3 even i'd say.
when he was pushing the skull like a soccer ball and not breaking it, i was going crazy lol.
@@stevenhoang2671 dude same
Your raw skill and learning speed in these games is astounding. I knew you were legendarily good at Soulsborne but seeing you play this for the first time really shows your talent. It's not just knowing everything about the game that makes you good, you're just insane.
God I love this game, and god it's so fun seeing Lobos get immersed in a new Fromsoft title!
First time being around for launch, best of luck fellow Tarnished!
🤣 Fellow tarnished sir yes sir 😂
Lobos, I have been waiting to watch this for so long. I missed the stream yesterday and I was so disappointed. I have also been avoiding spoilers so I could experience this with you. You have helped me so much with getting through these last 3 years or so and these long videos take so much stress off my mind. You are such an entertainer and I cant wait for the content to come. Thanks Lobos. Love ya.
Foul Tarnished! this is so fun to rewatch
The challenge runs for this game are going to be insane.
Cue torch only run, and faith builds
@@annarenfold438 Torches are basically their own weapon class, really; I suspect the Steel-Wire Torch would make the obligatory Torch-only run not too rough.
And Faith is actually a decent stat in this game as well. Holy Damage is accessible pretty early, and Incantations are useful and versatile.
The Pyromancies are lumped in with Incantations.
I tell you. It’s always a pleasure to watch a professional Dark Souls player. Comparing your dodges and timing to my own - such skillful playing is a treat to watch.
Hold L1 for confidence boost
Yea I remember watching him play dark souls for the first time (my first time watching not his first time playing) and immediately I learned how backstabs actually work just by watching how easily he walks around guys without even locking on
I have returned to see you do this. You're the dark souls guy in my opinion. From zero damage playthroughs to shield only runs to use what you pick up, I think I've watched you play more than I've even played souls games. I'm excited
Hey lobos! Yesterday because of the weather I was able to watch most of this stream at home! Enjoyed every bit of it!!
Lobos discovering the cave and fighting the Watchdog boss to leave and then finds the statue that guides you to the cave is so wonderful
I can't play elden ring just yet but I knew exactly who to come to to watch. I love your commentary lobos! Thanks for the vids :)
I was so looking forward to you exploring and master this game. Gonna be a hell of a ride. Best From Software game so far!
Haha remember when I was just so excited and looking at the steam page to see when it opens, and I keep seeing your stream, and I jump away like a vampire from sunlight cause spoilers.
I still have yet to play this, but your excitement and gratitude is quite inspiring and endearing. I love how committed you are to FROM games.
Even in I Dont care if it's HD or nor, I will wait for it. I expected your uploads tomorrow or even in 2 days so it doesn't bother me to wait . I hope you have a blast playing it.
Hey Lobos, I'll be honest, I'll not stay for the video but I've been watching your channel for years (...and years) and hope you enjoy the journey. I'll finish my game with no spoilers and I'll come back at a later date.
Have a good week.
loving this game so far, love how you can find side dungeons with their own minor bosses
I'm a year late, my only issue with it, and I love elden ring wholeheartedly, is that all of the minor bosses are just regular enemies with a boss Healthbar
Bout to enjoy this whole playthrough. 12 months and I can’t shake that feeling of when the game was new.
The intro gives me chills, the narrator's voice is just too good.
10/10
thank you for all the years of vids lobos
49:41 "FOX BUNNY SQUIRRELS!!"
Had a good laugh here.
I suffered though about 10 videos of Askongokds first playthrough and could t handle it. It’s so painful to watch. Glad I found your first, refreshing to see someone take it seriously.
I love Lobos' way of playing these games. Willing to give some solid attempts to that horseback boss, experimenting with new mechanics to see how they work, etc, taking his time but learning a lot along the way. Very cool.
I’m watching your Playthru so I can get ready cause I’m going to buy it after your play through and I just wanna know some stuff before I hate going into it blind thank you
I'm glad for a video like this, since playing it myself has proven to be... difficult.
Long story short, my computer has such a hard time running Elden Ring that the models don't load in. I can't even see the enemies. so I guess I'll have to enjoy it along side Lobos.
Have you updated your graphics drivers to the latest ones? I had the same issue but driver update fixed it and now it runs smoothly. I also reinstalled the game after doing so but idk if that's a needed step or not.
That sucks dude hope you can get it sorted. I'm playing on xbone, it looks a lot like ds3 but its playable at least
Pro tip man, I'm on the minimum requirements, and in a couple spots in the early game(and when I first start up the game for the day), I get terrible artifacting and black screening like that.
What I found that works is changing the resolution. I'll drop it to 1600 for 20 minutes and then swap back to high res. Fixes everything. Was the only fix I could find. Maybe it works for you!
I am 20 hours in and I haven't even beat Godrick yet. Zooming around the high level zones on my trusty goat, snatching high level items on the fly and entering locations I should not be in yet (Divine Tower of Caelid OMG) has been my jam for the past 2 days. God, this game is fucking awesome.
27 hours in sl 50 just beat him. Been exploring like a mad man^^
Same here.
This game slaps. Period. Totally worth the wait, thank you FromSoft, Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin!
After playing the game and thinking I'm good I go watch Lobos just walk through every encounter that I had trouble with. Amazing.
I really LOVE how a lot of this does feel like a continuation of DSIII. I loved DSIII and Elden Ring feels like a smooth transition into a new world with bits of familiarity sprinkled throughout.
This whole video I was waiting for lobos to break the glowing skulls but he just kept kicking them around 😂
12:48 I didn't realize this class starts out with 2 really quite different melee weapons, that's actually really cool!
I kinda enjoy upgrading multiple too, though it can be a bit of extra grind. It's cool to commit to one weapon and dealing with it's strong and weak cases, but having a tool belt is fun cause it's varied, and that versatility can counter so many situations. Ashes of War have only made this process more fun, and also provide more versatility to those committing to one weapon.
Your Brick Hammer a bit short and slow? Maybe try something that works well when that hurts. Got a backup for those situations? Double down on it's specialization instead.
"I try not to make any assumptions." THANK YOU! This is what I've been looking for!
The art style and sense of wonder in this game is a major reason why I'm entralled with it. something that finally is as good or better than bloodborne in that regard
Fun fact; I went completely around the Tree Sentinel and that vendor so I didn't find the crafting kit until I was about 25-30 hours in and decided to go back and check it out.
Same here!
Time to start watching these! I agree with the intro. 😉 lots of feels even now that I get to watch these!
I finally get round to watching the Lobos playthrough. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and recently started my Ng+ playthrough. I can't recommend Lobos's discord for good discussion about ER as well.
Best game ever, 15 hour playing in first day
Herbivorous.
So hyped for the Elden Ring Era! Having so much fun playing and going to have so much fun watching
It's always such a treat to see Lobos experience a new Fromsoft game.
I played for about an hour this morning, its my first soulsbourne game! You made the catacombs look so easy compared to the thrashing i got but I made it though. Looking forward to more
Did you stick with it?
@@OfficialCrowMauler yeah, playing it on pc and I completed and I'm on my 2nd playthrough
@@LunarWolf40
Awesome, man. Twitter discourse leads me to believe that many newer players fell off early so it’s encouraging to see that there’s those who stuck with it.
I switched the jump and interact buttons around because I randomly jumped so much, now it feels way more natural. I put off watching you play this because I've been playing it myself, but I'm like 100 hours in now so I get to treat myself with some Lobos action lobosLove
Me and my friend did nothing but run around in the world for 4 hours and i couldn't be happier 😂 love this game so far ❤
Finally i was waiting for this upload
the first thing i did was switch the binds for jump and interact, it felt wrong to not use A
10:05 don't mind me just making a time stamp for my favourite lobos reaction lmao
wow that tree sentinel fight, by the 2nd round you are already fighting better than me, and im in the consecrated snow fields
I believe the counter attack does fat stagger damage to them and one or two will stagger most enemies. I have only gotten about 90 minutes in so far so I'm not sure if Lobos figures this out by the end but it's been making me crazy watching the counter be discounted so much here towards the start of the run.
Great content so far i'm loving it!
And, of course, just a few minutes later he realizes the stagger. D'oh!
Hi. Watched you for years. Super excited to see you do this first time.
This is honestly the best game fromsoftware has released. Elden ring is a culmination of all the games they've made since demon's souls
What's with all the negative reviews then?
@@SamOween As far as I can tell, it's ENTIRELY about the dodgy and variable performance. I'm lucky enough to have a solid experience on my rig, but others not so much.
Hopefully they will fix these issues quickly.
@@eldritchf4568 thanks for replying.
The only thing they screwed up was the game optimization, everything else is 10/10
This game is truly something else. After discovering a bit of the map, I assumed that I had mostly discovered everything.
Not. Even. Remotely. Close. The map is the biggest thing I’ve ever seen, it expands far in every direction well past the initial appearance of the map. This game is truly incredible.
It expands literally in every direction too
*spoilers*
not just horizontally!
I've been waiting for this!, Recently discovered Hollow Knight and it absorbed me to its vast world, rich detail, brilliant artistic direction, great characters and profound lore so I'm currently only playing that. Now the second best way to experience Elden Ring, is to watch Lobos playing it.
I kept pushing X to pick stuff up lol sadly won't be watching this play thru to far but will as I progress in my own play thru good luck lobosjr and hope you enjoy it as much as I am
I don't know if people understand how helpful exploration is in this early area especially. There's an item you can find that can temporarily stun Margit a couple times, a bunch of powerful weapons, and tons of exp. Also I do think they need to make the Spirit Bell clearer on how/where to get considering how important it is to the game.
Finally! i was awaiting for this gameplay, i want to travel this game with lobby, loboslove.
Just cleared it today. It was a glorious experience. Plenty of stuff left to do!
But now I can watch lobos play through
"Live until the end of the game?"
After finishing it, just imagine having attempted this for a first playthrough.
Favorite line so far: 51:00 "I see your challenge, and I accept, Miyazaki." Then I remember the railing climbing he did in the duke's archives in a mod and fear he might do it.
All related to Soul games are fantastic, you are an awesome UA-camr.
I opened this video when it was first published, left the tab open until I could get to it, and now here I am 7 months later finally watching it.
😅 dedication
6 months later I'm finally diving into Lobos' first playthrough. Can't wait to see his reactions.
Watching after a year and having beat the game plenty of times. Sure is refreshing watching someone actually read everything and not skip dialogue and wonder why they're lost😂.
I'm so tempted to watch this, but I too want to play this blind. I'll watch up until the end of the tutorial. Love ya Looby.
I created my character, opened the first door, walked out into the sunshine, walked off a cliff and died. Welcome to Elden Ring.
Damn man that last boss took me like 4 days lmao, gg look forward to seeing more of your adventure!
it took Fromsoft about how many dozen of their games to finally have a Proper dedicated old school Castlevania-style jump button hey?
that is also what i said to myself when Sekiro came out
you are slowly evolving my Trolly-ass friend Miyazaki
you are Evolving 👌
i would watch you live but im playing the game myself. so instead im watching parts of your playthrough ive already passed in mine.
good stuff lobos as always.
One of the things I'm struggling with in this game is the instinct that if I start sprinting I can't roll without jumping by tapping the roll button too quickly. It doesn't work that way in this game but from years of playing dark souls / bloodborne I have always been in the habit of making a conscious decision if i'm going to sprint away or roll, and i can't do both too close to each other. This game i absolutely fantastic!
Edit: I say this because it seems Lobos had been struggling with a similar mindset during the fight against Margit, there were times where he just started sprinting and for whatever reason didn't roll, and I can understand why that might happen.
Currently throwing myself at Tree Sentinel until I make sure he's the first enemy I kill - except the frame drops are killing me more than anything :c
So far it's Tree Sentinel - 69 (nice) Me - 0
:C

Is a jousting match! Hop on that horse and ram his ass
It's meant to be fought on horse
He's weak to bleed if you chose the uchi : )
For the frame drops, fight him near the church, not down in that small valley that seems like it's an intended boss arena. The valley contains a transition point between several areas, which means it's constantly loading new areas as you move around during the fight, which is what's causing most of the drops. By staying near the church, you can avoid this. (Also there's actually an animation for him destroying the church a bit if he attacks it.)
