if i can give one piece of advice for future videos like this just use the markers on the map for everything. saying go left then cutting 4 minutes into where your running had me going in circles sometimes. “go left” with no compass orientation means nothing. just ping everything those sections went so smooth. thanks for making the video though good stuff!
@@TheSpudKing please update this is very painful as a new player "turn around go right to the end of the lake and youll see here another guy with a smithing stone" doent help me at all my guy otherwise has been good
@@amenbrother8785 keep it in mind the game isn't story game you don't know how to get anything or what to do I mostly play with my friend who finished the game to ask him where should I go sometime he fool me sometime not depends on if I tell him to shut up or not but also him is shocked about the amount of places he didn't went to if the game had side map instead of map only will make the game more memorable not being where the heck I am
this is the most convoluted guide I've seen. there is a map, a beacon and a compass but you give directions like here, there, where. and if you dont want to use the map at the very least dont cut the video off, its making it more harder to track when the video just jumps to where its needed.
Good guide, but can you slow down when you put beacons on the map so people can see where you put them, and have enough time to place them in their map.
I was following your play through and found a somber smithing stone in the mage academy at the bottom of the automatic elevator you took up to the rest area. Insted of riding it up run a couple feet forward to a big lightning zombie guy and it on the statue. Thank you for your service sir i love this guide🫡🫡🫡
Your directions are very hard to follow, you need to show your map more. Took me 2 hours to do everything you said because of how long it took to find things
There's stuff you didn't show that are literally a few meters away from the path, such as the comet spell in the secret passage a few meters from the stairway in the academy. But the other guide I watched didn't show the Radagan Icon so I guess it evens out lol
Great guide/video. But you missed a free memory stone, at 13:35. You were at the grave yard getting the runes. But right below that is a jump spring down to a site of grace. And you can use the jump spring to get into the tower to get a memory stone for another spell slot early. And now that I've watched 40+ videos, I have to decided what I want to do a for the new DLC character. Trying not to fall back into the bleed meta like I always do.
Bro, i got the lusat staff and got it to S scaling like you said, but it's not doing any extra damage. With my current stats just using the meteorite staff and spell does 645 dps and using the lusat in main with meteorite in left does the same amount of damage. Did i miss something?
Probably You still need to meet requirements for it, its preety high int. Also check with what staff you casting, you can cast with different hands same spell
I've never played Elden Ring, so I understood all the words I've just never heard them in that order before. However; this video has made me want to buy the game now.
I will post few more soon. I myself don't like soulslike too, but just beated elden ring first time few weeks ago, and it can be played not like soulslike for almost full game. Got stuck on last boss sequence only :)
If you buy the game I will strongly recommend to you to explore as much as you can to make your character stronger. Take your time and don’t rush the main bosses. Don’t rush the game. I don’t think you will get bored easily playing and exploring all corners of the map. Just a suggestion. :)
@@nandofl_ I will certainly take my time with the game, but seeing how cool looking that helmet is I really would like to play a magic caster in the game. Is the game multiplayer? If so I might be able to play with a friend, and that would make the game much better for me at least. Thank you for the kind words and response!
@@TheSpudKing I will have to wait for payday before I get my hands on Elden Ring. I will certainly be following this guide for the build, but as Nandofl suggested I will take my time and explore while keeping my eyes peeled for the items and magic you listed. Thank you for all the hard work you put into all of your videos and thank you for the kind words and response!
@@PlayfulOtter When the game was originally released I did not play ER because I knew that the game was going to be hard. To be homest, I know my limitations and melee combat is one of them because my reflex is bad. Then I decided to get into the challenge. I selected the sorcerer character because of the range attacks. They are strong but your character can not resist a lot of incoming damage. (only at the beginning of the game)(Glass canon type of character). I admit I watched some spoiler free videos to get the best staff and magic spells at the very beginning of the game. It took me while to get to the first boss because I was exploring everything that was located on the “easy”? area. But the waiting was worth it when I defeated him. You can play coop but the game is is designed to be playing solo most of the time. While in coop you can not use Turrent (the horse) to move fast and you are open to invasions from other players that made your gaming experience a pain. (Unless you like “Pvp”.) If there are bosses that you can not manage to kill on your own you can ask for help and others great gamers will help you out. I did ask for help for some bosses. Are you playing on PC or console? Just curious.
I just got the game and am trying to follow this but all the cuts make it impossible. Couldn’t really follow past 5 minutes but I managed to get the meteorite staff just exploring
why is my AOW golden vow not working? i have finger seal equipped in left, and sword on right.. but it doesnt trigger the buff.. can someone help? all my attributes are met as well.
Great video man 👊🏻 I’m rinse and repeating the dragon right now. Stay on your horse the entire time and try to count how many times the 13k Crit lands until death. I had to guess on my first kill and luckily got it right.
@@TheSpudKing i killed him once and failed got around 90k runes made to lvl 40. any suggestions how to farm the other 10 levels and have some to enchant items ?wher to farm the runes? its my first time playing this game and i started this mage build. also i play offline
They nerfed the dragon i believe so no quick levels sadly, except the ball wizard tower or farming the bird in the blood area with a crossbow and the albinarics in that area as well. GL tarnished.
Okay so after a bit of online sluething I think you HAVE to be on torret when smacking it so you can be at the grace THAT quickly or it disappears before you can get the runes... I ran on foot and thought I would be fast enough but here we are. It really saved time to do this farming idea.
This guide will be hard to follow for a complete beginner cause of the way you described locations and the path to get there but it will be helpful nonetheless.
@@ImNoyaderI'm not a beginner, I watched this video for fun. I'm giving constructive criticism, it helped you doesn't mean it'll help everyone who is new to souls games equally.
@GenesiisDavid well the "criticism" is invalid from you. It's very easy to follow, hence how I am brand new to souls game myself and took the extra time to research on the wiki for things I didn't understand. You just want a video to handhold you. My bet is you will end up researching the boss mechanics because you can't experience a game for what it is. Stick to fortnite and have an amazing day! 😀
@@ImNoyader what are you talking about 😂? I've already played the game, currently on the dlc. In fact I've played every souls game since the original demon souls. Even you needed extra resources to understand the video. Anybody who is searching for a beginner guide doesn't know a thing about souls games and would appreciate a more detailed guide especially when describing directions in an open world game. Telling me to stick to fortnite is the kind of toxic bs that drives new players away from the souls community. "look at me, I play a hard game" stop blowing yourself. More people enjoying these games is what we want not this dumb gate keeping.
@@TheSpudKing I guess it's possible to make it to grace before he disappears. I went really fast but I didn't make it in time, I started off the horse and you started on the horse, maybe that was the difference.
The 2 bosses at the end of the video are NOT late game bosses lmao. Not even close. They are barely mid game and I'd honestly place them at late-early game.
Miss the days when there was no social media and people had to use thier minds to figure things out and actually play the game and be challenged. Oh and lets not forget curiosity of exploration. 🤤
I'm at Impassable Greatbridge watching those soldier vs Dog/Wolf and pull 4 more that left behind, and collect one of em dead mobs runes.. xD Then go to camp site and reset them over.. I do it plenty time to collect runes from the dead mobs
Damn, I feltso lost in this guide. I've wasted more time trying to figure where you are than other thing. Thanks tho. Aside from that, it's a nice guide.
This video could be so great if you didn’t skip and not direct people, think everyone’s an idiot and hold their hand and you’d make a great tutorial video! Other than that very informative on the build and spells
Used this guide to make a secondary playthrough after beating the game. My friend wanted help with her run and I thought it'd be fun to make a mage build to help her. Thanks :) To all the people complaining that this guide is hard to follow: a huge part that makes Souls games fun is exploration, learning, experimenting, and leveling up on your own, and following this guide (and other "OP from the beginning" guides) will spoil that for you. It is heavily recommended you explore this amazing game on your own for your first playthrough rather than throwing away the sense of wonder and exploration by starting a game in God Mode. Play how y'all want of course but don't attack the guide creator so hard over a guide that's probably intended for someone who has already beaten the game and just wants to switch up their build or have a second playthrough as a mage lol TL;DR - if this guide's hard to follow, git gud
Lmfao I've ran my first play through and a second and a third the annoying part is he skips to parts where he expects you to know where he is how tf am I supposed to remember every bit of the map like that
I had no issues and I'm new. Rather than relying on a video for everything, wiki the location or use the elden ring Interactive map. God, you people need hand holding for everything
I just wanted to say jesus loves you he's changed my life and all the better he can change yours to because he loves you and died for your sins come to him and be saved and experience his love he'll always be by your side embrace christ as he wishes to know you god bless❤

Is there a way to do this if I killed the dragon or do I have to restart the run?
Its fine technically, but you need to level up a bit, i killed dragon like 4-5 times if i recall correctly but its fine with less runes too

It works
I can’t use flame give me strength for some reason and cannot figure it out, can someone give me a tip?
You need fingerseal weapon and enough faith. Its 15 if i remember correctly
Nice Guts you had there
Thanks :) Found it on YT or Reddit i guess, Reanu Keeves is awesome too!
@@TheSpudKing lol, thats awesome.
How do I cast golden vow
Need to add to a weapon. Like a ash of war
