This video is for all the people that come into my twitch chat asking for tips and how to start the game. Also I didn't mention it in the video but there is a way to farm Greyoll (the big dragon). If you run back to the grace soon as she dies then you'll get the runes and she respawns.
How do you know that the other ppl that put out videos only have 50 hours playtime? Just cause you sat in a basement and played for 2500 hours doesn't mean that the "actual souls youtubers" that have 1000 hours in aren't 100 times better than you. You could probably play some meta PvP though if you use your nose as an extra finger. I can't believe you even show yourself looking like that 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I can't believed i played this game the hard way. (Didn't played the tutorial, battled the tree sentinel+margit+other bosses for days, not being to unequip the halberd weapon, so on and so forth). Thank god i found this channel. It's not the first time i watched a video on this channel because i also watch some of lies of p's tips and tricks but damn, i'll gonna be sticking to these vids for more fun.
I think its a shame for a guide video aimed towards new players to basically make them skip the entire early game. Youve basically outleveled Limgrave before youve even played the game.
@@Nikolai-pf1dmnah man, you must remember that this is for total beginners to elden ring and probably any souls like game ever, just like me, played hack n slashs and arpgs for years but not once a souls like game. This video goes quick on getting you some items, while explaining the basics along the way, without much spoilers too! its making my experience so much more enjoyable/able to learn the combat because its a little forgiving for making some mistakes instead of being 1 shot. Mind you, sentinel still took me like 15 attempts, so while having a couple of OP items sounds awesome and it is, total beginners like me im sure would still have a tough time.
I started a couple weeks ago after buying the game months ago and trying to get into it and failing. Not sure what changed but I've been obsessed with it the last couple weeks and I've got a killer character over lvl 100
@@sewshut6953 is this the guide you used to get to level 100 & what would you do differently if you were starting from the beginning? I'm not very strong at these type of games but don't wanna give up on it.
Moi. Just bought it on the PS store for new PS5 bought 6 week ago. £35 half price. Only played for 2hrs but that includes character customisation ( always play as a younger woman just as I do in AC Odyssey Canon Kassandra ). Watched multiple YT videos especially Eurogamer as Aoife is highly informative. 21 years experience of playing RPG’s, E/Ring mechanics are different & am enjoying the challenge. Love games that are open world with a good amount of exploration & crafting, like HZD & Fallout 3 & 4. So far, I’d say ER is shaping up to be one of the best RPG’s I’ve delved into 👍😊
I just started this game literally 2 days ago. It’s my first Souls/ From Software game so this is incredibly helpful. I didn’t know I could just skip bosses so I ended up wasting like 2 hours on that first horse dude.
absolutely insane video, no other video goes so in depth for the first hour. went from not knowing a single thing to being able to comfortably play and understand what everything does. amazing video man.
every thing you stated above is totally wrong (which in some ways explains your handle) - this guy only has an opinions like: "the sword is better than the halberd" - "crafting is niche" - "shields are really not all that useful" - "if we go right up the middle, we're gonna get hit" - these statements are all totally bull-s........ YMMV, but one look at his character creation screen tells me, this YT person is a neophyte at ER gameplay. "Your" statement above - "no other video goes so in depth for the first hour" is also total bull as there are actually YT'bers that know and produce actually "walk-through" vids which are far more informative and instructional - like MajorSlackVideos or Aussie Gamer 17 for just 2 examples. Watching MSV's Vagabond vids will bear out what I've said here, teachin ya that crafting "is" an important tool in ER, as well as far more information to boot on tactics and strats to help folks kick gaming but without looking like a fool doing it.... ps - were I the type of person to downvote others, this vids would certainly be a prime candidate, and as a side note; the Groveside Cave has a boss any newbie can take-down, using nothing more than the Charge forth skill on the Halberd "youwy" dismissed in the opening of the game - which btw, would have gotten the player the Flamedrake Talisman and 1000 Runes, right outta the gate - not to mention it could have also taken down the entire Gatefront camp.

Love this walkthrough it makes you a beast right away without any spoilers. That being said, it would be SOO helpful if you quickly flashed your maps when moving place to place, showing where you are and where you are headed. It would definitely make this an S tier starter video.
Great video, thanks for the start! One note was that this video was realllly hard to follow without pausing and rewinding frequently. And if you get a little lost you have to scan the video for landmarks to find out where the heck you are. Some map screenshots would have been incredibly useful.
Siofra River has a Somber 5 Stone and the Ghost Glovewort 1 through 5 for your summon. For an early OP Summon Banished Knight Engvall is very easy to get in the Catacombs all tge way up tge river that Patches Cave is on, where Yura helps you with the Bloody Finger invasion. 16 Mind is what it takes to summon him tho, so keep that in mind lol
I gave up on this game a few years ago after so...many...damn...deaths. But tonight it clicked, I wasn't prepared. This guide prepared me, and I thank you. After countless deaths I finally took down my arch nemesis, the Tree Sentinel and the Night's Cavalry! I no longer fear the horsemen! I now seek them out...
This is exactly the video I needed the first time I ever played this game... It's the first souls game I've ever played and about half of my first 50 hours with this game was spent learning how the game works lol this video would've helped me so much
500 getting to know the game is crazy. I was debating to keep following the guide at 45 mins but this comment made me realize that I will continue the guide
I just started the game a few days ago, beat tree sentinel and then didn't feel like exploring the open world so I hope this video puts me back on track what a godsend
Beat most of the game by now Have been stalling on trying malenia for a few days now, basically just her and the final boss left Had a lot of fun with the game
@@raiden_131 idk, I played ds3 and sekiro before so I had some experience. Besides Malenia most bosses went down quite easily tbh. The game offers so many tools to make yourself op.
When I ran from the black horseman, I accidentally jumped off the cliff. When I did, I landed on an edge just before I hit the bottom. He followed and died right when I did. I was so mad until I woke up at the site of grace with the new ash of war. When I picked up my runes, there were 42,000 runs more than when I died 😅
Before watching this video I tried killing margit the fell omen straight away and I couldn’t do it, went back there after doing this and done it second try, thanks buddy👍🏻👊🏻
Nice work, youwy. A fresh beginner's guide makes sense with DLC looming, as that likely draws new players who decide to buy both original/DLC content at once. Plus, if you wanted, you could easily expand the "beginner" series with shorter videos on more specific topics according to whatever categories make sense. Could be beginners guide to two-handed-sword build, dual-weapon, build, incantation build, sorcery build, etc. It could be beginners guide to poise break build, status proc, intelligence spells, faith spells, etc. It could be beginner's guide to swords, axes, hammers, spells. Lot of ways to go with it for new content.
@RobAtkinson-wj4rcdid you get the hang of it. I played for my first time yesterday for a couple hours with no guide. It was rough. Hence me being here. I almost bounced off it. I’m gonna try again today. Did the game click for you?
@@inquir2283 the guide really helped me at the start! I think I would have bounced off without it. Such a massive map, and next to nothing explained to you. Killing the dragon to be able to level up 15 levels was massive too. And learning about the rolling ball farm (2k) You’ll get to a point where 2k is just a drop. I’m at level 106 now. Loving the game! Use the rolling ball farm when you’re close to leveling up and are worried you’ll die. Make sure your weight is medium load or less, to roll. I don’t use a shield, I double hand the Katana. Find a light weapon, like claws or something with a faster move set. The slow swinging of swords and axes at first really bugged me. But you get used to it. Follow this guide. It’ll set you up for success. Then just commit to figuring the game out. Ignore crafting until you feel like you understand everything else.
~1 hour following, pretty solid, i didn't do it all, even following his steps half way helps a lot - more helas etc, going to go fuck up the sentinel now xD@@inquir2283
Man I gave this game a try and it’s a beautiful game but I got discouraged didn’t know how to start or where to go thanks for this I realize Elden ring is one of those games if ur new to souls games ur going to need a basic tutorial cause it doesn’t guide u well
I missed out on a lot of quest lines first play through skipping into different areas, wanted to start a new character and this helped tremendously, didn't skip anything but got slightly strong enough to play through the beginning thank you.
Plan on getting the game during the next steam sale. Preciate the vid🙋🏽♂️ Update: got the game a while ago, now have around 150hrs. Fantastic game would recommend to all
I usually don’t comment on UA-cam videos but I just started Elden ring and had no idea what I was getting into for the most part. After finding this video though I’ve been saved!! Everything is so clear and easy to follow thanks so much for making this it really helped me :]]
To any new players the only thing that is really useful to make with crafting is the gold pickled fowl feet which gives you around 50% more runes from enemies you kill. The cookbook can be purchased from patches in murkwater cave. Very helpful for leveling up quicker
Dude, I'd be lost without this video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together! My first attempt at streaming this was so difficult but now that I've prepped myself with your video I'm good to go!
Complete fromsoft noob here. Bought the game a year ago, gave up after 5 hours. Decided to try again following this guide to give myself a chance. Got to the bloodhound knight and died 30+ times and couldn't help but laugh that you said how easy this boss is as we are way over levelled. Following the method used in the video and other videos had no success for me, it wasn't until one video I saw someone use their shield that I actually beat him (others made no use of the shield). Hope this helps someone.
If you talk to Blaidd in the ruins where you got the Axe Talisman he will help you fight the Bloodhound Knight for the Bloodhounds Fang Curved Greatsword and he will give you a Somber 2 Stone.
Love the video for the wealth of great information but following along while playing was EXTREMELY tough. It would have helped tremendously to just open up your map real quick whenever you got to the points of interest so those of us that don't know the landscapes could actually know where you were. Other than that, fantastic content!
Horseback combat depends on what kind of player you are. There are some mini bosses and bosses I only defeated by being on a horse. That's because I'm more of a hit and run or slash and dash kind of player. Basically throw a few hits then run to either dodge the boss attack or recover some health. If I try it with face on combat, I get killed. Try doing combat both ways and you'll find out what kind of fighting style works for you.
Thank you so much for this wonderful work, as a total beginner to elden ring and any souls like game ever, game is somewhat more forgiving and making it a nicer experience to learn thanks to this guide.
when youwy released the skybox tier list video i thought he was in trouble. i thought “this man has lost it. fromsoft give him the dlc before he starts making tier list about grass!” now we are here and he is still making solid videos and it seems his sanity is still intact.
Dude, thank you so much for making this. I hesitated on buying this game until now and I would’ve been completely lost without this video. You saved me a lot of time, confusion, and frustration.
Best tip for all souls games, don't be scared to look up walkthroughs, don't be scared to ask where to go. Fromsoft does a good job of making the first playthrough less fun than consecutive playthroughs when it comes to knowledge about the game.
@@dusk126 I'd argue that wondering around aimlessly in these games is one of the least fun experiences. I looked up speedrun strats on some of my first playthroughs and it made the game 10x more fun. I can see why some people wouldn't want to do that, but if you are really stuck, just look up a guide
I dunno, I think blind playthroughs are almost a necessity for games like this, when you're told what to r Prepare for, how to handle it whan to feel where to go, it just sucks out all the autonomy from the game, nothing is surprising, nothing requires thought, idk that level of being told what you should do levels on like, job training so that your employees don't screw up, but in a video game, you're free to make mistakes
You don't have to. I'm new to souls games and I'm 12 hours in and level 30 and have killed a bunch of bosses. You have all the stuff you need in the first area to progress, this isn't necessary.
You don't have to do any of this. You can just play the game and explore. Some people would rather get powerful before they actually play the game, for various reasons. In my case, I beat the game twice when it was released and am playing again and forgot where a couple of the items are. But my first run was totally blind. I didn't look any of this stuff up. You can absolutely do it
If you start playing u will know that videos like this are absolutely needed among new players cus even if you do exactly everything this video’ve shown, you’ll still get absolutely wrecked by the very first tree sentinel that you see right at the start.
Don't go after the Radagon Soreseal Talisman at 51:13... The medallion was achievable but getting to the talisman was difficult and I ended up losing the 150K runes from it....
Thank you so much for the intro to the game I was having a hard time getting started. Now it's one of the best games I've played in my life so yeah it's a good game 😅
I know it’s five months later but I gave up 2years ago and never beat the game. I’m committing this time and found this extremely helpful and entertaining. Thanks for taking your time to make this. Glad to see you’re still playing.
Nice video mate. You actually leave info on the screen long enough to see it. And you explain everything 👍🏻. What level is your character on after 2000 hours?
Excellent video, very informative. I have watched many videos about Elden Ring but yours is the first one I have found that takes all the questions and turns them into answers. Thanks.
A good reason to start with crafting is that you can make and use fire arrows to great effect in Stormveil. There are fire barrels everywhere, and you can blow up enemies from stealth with a fire arrow. All the servants and most of the birds in that place can be blown up. Poison arrows are great for them stupid bell bearing hunters (the red Night, Knights/Try night, but hole.)
For the troll carts, you can also follow them until they reach their destination if you happen to be struggling with killing one of them, though this might take a while lol
Vagabond for min/max Faith builds that demand 12 or more dex for weapons, Prophet for pure faith and Strength Faith. I nervous sweat with anything higher than 10 dex.
Wow I love this guide! You explain a lot that other's don't. You gave me courage!! I downloaded Elden Ring yesterday and I'm gonna try it now 😂 Hoping this will get me prepared to play Darksouls as the ultimate end goal hahahaha
Good video! Helped me out a lot coming back after a good 2+ year break. I'll admit.. it was challenging following you through a few areas that I didn't remember, but once I paused and figured out those spots I was good to go. One little thing about golden runes that wasn't mentioned that i'm sure new players will appreciate is that you don't lose them when you die... I always save my runes and use them for something specific. Whether it be leveling up or buying something, I try to be as close to zero runes as i can, only using golden runes to get to that mark.
I got this game closer to when it came out and played it a bit. I only got past the first boss and a bit more exploration after that, so not that far. I remember it being a little overly difficult for me so I stepped away and didn't really come back to it. I decided I wanted to pick it up on the Steam Sale so that I could have it for my steam deck and I would be more likely to play. I'm looking forward to trying this guide to and seeing if it helps me to get set up a little better at the start rather than just running in and getting pummeled. I know there will still be a good aspect of git good I'll need to do but this looks like it will help
40:37 I got jipped. I lead him around the bridge corner but he went on the ledge with me. I jumped around trying to escape i fell off and died, he fell off and died. I got the the gold ash of war but never got the runes. I ran back to pick them up. Thinking there was 55k there, i swallowed a golden foot. Nothing. Nada. I had 0 runes to begin with before i fell off. My rune pick up marker had 0. Edit: i was farming the metal ball drop, got up to 82k then randomly it gave me 9,720 runes.
I did pretty much the same thing, tried to beat him with a lvl 7 character. I got close a couple times, but after 2 or 3 hours of trying I started looking for guides and found this gem of a video.
when i first got the game some people dropped me a load of runes enough to go to lvl 303 but i quit cause even wit the lvls i was buns. now Im back to play it the right way and experience it the fun way especially before shadow of the erdtree drops
I think the biggest thing for new players is the site of grace point to where you need to go , I tried playing when the game was new and it being my 1st time playing a dark souls game I was so confused on what I was supposed to be doing I didn't touch the game till months later. maybe I'm just really stupid
Decided to play elden ring for the first time, after reading all reviews, btw I am not a fan of souls game. Tried to follow this video, till I get the blood fang and level up up to +4, decided to fight tree sentinel for the first time and I only died 3times then finally beat it. I am very happy 😂. Thanks mate. Spending 10hrs just to follow every step in this video.
While I agree you don't need to worry about crafting, don't ignore it either. Acquire as many materials and cookbooks as you can because later on in the game there maybe some items you will find useful to craft. Even if you don't use the materials you acquired, you can sell them for runes and that be more for you to spend.
Just started playing this game on Sunday and all I want to say is...Thank You! Get straight to the point cuttin out the BS you don't need or waste my time on starting off. Gonna farm me some runes tonight!
So I just started playing this like a couple hours ago and I have to remap the heal button. Don't know what game has me hitting square, but I'm spamming potions.
Thank you for video, my comment would be what about Skills / Memory slots? You showed what to buy, but how to equip and use them I didn't understand. Good vid tho.
Ive never played the souls games before but ive been thinking about picking up elden ring recently the only deterrent was how famously hard these games are but with this video i could see myself actually realy enjoying it.
Why did the first big rune gain he had 40min into the video work for him, but not for me? The black knight on the horse just respawned when he fell off the cliff..

Follow this guide. It’ll set you up for success. Then just commit to figuring the game out. Ignore crafting until you feel like you understand everything else.
~1 hour following, pretty solid, i didn't do it all, even following his steps half way helps a lot - more helas etc, going to go fuck up the sentinel now xD@@inquir2283
I started the game yesterday and this is by far the best beginner's guide I came across.
Ur guide is good, but u are too fast so its really difficult to catch up
Even though this video is only 90 mins long, this literally took me a whole day (and a bottle of wine!). Can't wait for the DLC .......
I'm at 25 mins and it took me two bottles of days and 1 wine... 😂
That's what I like to hear lol
News of DLC depot... And youwy posting a video for new players.
The stars are aligned my friends... DLC news imminent!! 🎉🎉
you were correct
Man I gave this game a try and it’s a beautiful game but I got discouraged didn’t know how to start or where to go thanks for this I realize Elden ring is one of those games if ur new to souls games ur going to need a basic tutorial cause it doesn’t guide u well
Same sadly that’s also the reason why i’m returning it… having to look everything up sucks
I've owned the game since release but am just tonight starting up. Yours is the first video I've watched. Thanks.
I missed out on a lot of quest lines first play through skipping into different areas, wanted to start a new character and this helped tremendously, didn't skip anything but got slightly strong enough to play through the beginning thank you.
Plan on getting the game during the next steam sale. Preciate the vid🙋🏽♂️
Update: got the game a while ago, now have around 150hrs. Fantastic game would recommend to all
It’s on sale I just got it
@@sMaLLtOWnBeAn yessir, I got in months ago and beat the dlc couple days ago. Have fun with it! It’s my favorite game of all time🧍🏽♂️
That was fun to watch. I decided not to overlevel myself for my first character, but the locations and tips you provide are very much appreciated.
*I am lv 322 on my 2nd run and watching and i want to watch every guide vid on youtube*
I usually don’t comment on UA-cam videos but I just started Elden ring and had no idea what I was getting into for the most part. After finding this video though I’ve been saved!! Everything is so clear and easy to follow thanks so much for making this it really helped me :]]
To any new players the only thing that is really useful to make with crafting is the gold pickled fowl feet which gives you around 50% more runes from enemies you kill. The cookbook can be purchased from patches in murkwater cave. Very helpful for leveling up quicker
Dude, I'd be lost without this video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together! My first attempt at streaming this was so difficult but now that I've prepped myself with your video I'm good to go!
I appreciate the idea of this video because I was thinking for a beginner walkthrough but didnt wanna watch one from the week of the games release..
Complete fromsoft noob here. Bought the game a year ago, gave up after 5 hours. Decided to try again following this guide to give myself a chance.
Got to the bloodhound knight and died 30+ times and couldn't help but laugh that you said how easy this boss is as we are way over levelled.
Following the method used in the video and other videos had no success for me, it wasn't until one video I saw someone use their shield that I actually beat him (others made no use of the shield). Hope this helps someone.
Amazing!! Helped me a lot, Thanks!
If you talk to Blaidd in the ruins where you got the Axe Talisman he will help you fight the Bloodhound Knight for the Bloodhounds Fang Curved Greatsword and he will give you a Somber 2 Stone.
And let you buy the talisman from the giant blacksmith outside of the manor
Great video, I am just getting into elden ring and it’s such a hard but addictive and fun game, I now have all the information I need
Love the video for the wealth of great information but following along while playing was EXTREMELY tough. It would have helped tremendously to just open up your map real quick whenever you got to the points of interest so those of us that don't know the landscapes could actually know where you were. Other than that, fantastic content!
Glad somebody else pointed this out 😅
Horseback combat depends on what kind of player you are. There are some mini bosses and bosses I only defeated by being on a horse. That's because I'm more of a hit and run or slash and dash kind of player. Basically throw a few hits then run to either dodge the boss attack or recover some health. If I try it with face on combat, I get killed.
Try doing combat both ways and you'll find out what kind of fighting style works for you.
Thank you so much for this wonderful work, as a total beginner to elden ring and any souls like game ever, game is somewhat more forgiving and making it a nicer experience to learn thanks to this guide.
when youwy released the skybox tier list video i thought he was in trouble. i thought “this man has lost it. fromsoft give him the dlc before he starts making tier list about grass!” now we are here and he is still making solid videos and it seems his sanity is still intact.
Dude, thank you so much for making this. I hesitated on buying this game until now and I would’ve been completely lost without this video. You saved me a lot of time, confusion, and frustration.
Best tip for all souls games, don't be scared to look up walkthroughs, don't be scared to ask where to go. Fromsoft does a good job of making the first playthrough less fun than consecutive playthroughs when it comes to knowledge about the game.
this is horrible advice, thats how you actively ruin the fun of the game
@@dusk126 I'd argue that wondering around aimlessly in these games is one of the least fun experiences. I looked up speedrun strats on some of my first playthroughs and it made the game 10x more fun. I can see why some people wouldn't want to do that, but if you are really stuck, just look up a guide
@@samthepigman4069 In a way I agree. If it comes down to quiting for good or watching a small video on what to do, just watch the video.
@@dusk126 I almost quit.didnt know to lock on,how to 2hand,how to upgrade. Lost in sellia after 2hrs. Guide helped me alot.
I dunno, I think blind playthroughs are almost a necessity for games like this, when you're told what to r
Prepare for, how to handle it whan to feel where to go, it just sucks out all the autonomy from the game, nothing is surprising, nothing requires thought, idk that level of being told what you should do levels on like, job training so that your employees don't screw up, but in a video game, you're free to make mistakes
I was overwhelmed with all the maps and new terms but this guide helped a lot! Thanks! The first boss one was epic
Man everytime i wanna try elden ring I watch one of these videos and lose all motivation..who wants to all this before starting the actual game..
You don't have to. I'm new to souls games and I'm 12 hours in and level 30 and have killed a bunch of bosses. You have all the stuff you need in the first area to progress, this isn't necessary.
You don't have to do any of this. You can just play the game and explore. Some people would rather get powerful before they actually play the game, for various reasons.
In my case, I beat the game twice when it was released and am playing again and forgot where a couple of the items are. But my first run was totally blind. I didn't look any of this stuff up. You can absolutely do it
If you start playing u will know that videos like this are absolutely needed among new players cus even if you do exactly everything this video’ve shown, you’ll still get absolutely wrecked by the very first tree sentinel that you see right at the start.
This is more just to cheese your character to make it easier, you can progress normally just fine.
What cracks me up is most Souls player hate easy games then spend 3 hours collecting items to make the game easier! 😂
Don't go after the Radagon Soreseal Talisman at 51:13... The medallion was achievable but getting to the talisman was difficult and I ended up losing the 150K runes from it....
You didnt think to use those runes on levels before entering..? :| The soreseal is the single best talisman you can get early in the game.
I have been struggling in this game and even deleted it a couple times. Thank you man, I’m really e going this game
Thank you so much for the intro to the game I was having a hard time getting started. Now it's one of the best games I've played in my life so yeah it's a good game 😅
I know it’s five months later but I gave up 2years ago and never beat the game. I’m committing this time and found this extremely helpful and entertaining. Thanks for taking your time to make this. Glad to see you’re still playing.
Same bruhh i felt that game was hard as shit when I first played it 💀
Love this video… but as a player that just played his first 50 hours I have to say I’m glad I did it all blind. This game is so much fun to explore!
Nice video mate. You actually leave info on the screen long enough to see it. And you explain everything 👍🏻.
What level is your character on after 2000 hours?
Excellent video, very informative. I have watched many videos about Elden Ring but yours is the first one I have found that takes all the questions and turns them into answers. Thanks.
This is fantastic, it came randomly and since I'm preparing for the DLC this route is amazingly explained.
A good reason to start with crafting is that you can make and use fire arrows to great effect in Stormveil. There are fire barrels everywhere, and you can blow up enemies from stealth with a fire arrow. All the servants and most of the birds in that place can be blown up. Poison arrows are great for them stupid bell bearing hunters (the red Night, Knights/Try night, but hole.)
For the troll carts, you can also follow them until they reach their destination if you happen to be struggling with killing one of them, though this might take a while lol
i got a good tip for new players. start with the samurai ts the most balanced one to use, katana sword is also really strong with bleed loss.
Vagabond for min/max Faith builds that demand 12 or more dex for weapons, Prophet for pure faith and Strength Faith. I nervous sweat with anything higher than 10 dex.
Wow I love this guide! You explain a lot that other's don't. You gave me courage!! I downloaded Elden Ring yesterday and I'm gonna try it now 😂 Hoping this will get me prepared to play Darksouls as the ultimate end goal hahahaha
great vid! gave me an awesome head start and as someone who's new to the souls genre this is exactly what i needed. THANKS!
makes for a great start and opens map, vendors and save points! thanks so much!
Good video! Helped me out a lot coming back after a good 2+ year break. I'll admit.. it was challenging following you through a few areas that I didn't remember, but once I paused and figured out those spots I was good to go. One little thing about golden runes that wasn't mentioned that i'm sure new players will appreciate is that you don't lose them when you die... I always save my runes and use them for something specific. Whether it be leveling up or buying something, I try to be as close to zero runes as i can, only using golden runes to get to that mark.
This video was awesome! I got very frustrated with the game and never have played a souls type game and your explanations helped me a ton
I got this game closer to when it came out and played it a bit. I only got past the first boss and a bit more exploration after that, so not that far. I remember it being a little overly difficult for me so I stepped away and didn't really come back to it. I decided I wanted to pick it up on the Steam Sale so that I could have it for my steam deck and I would be more likely to play. I'm looking forward to trying this guide to and seeing if it helps me to get set up a little better at the start rather than just running in and getting pummeled. I know there will still be a good aspect of git good I'll need to do but this looks like it will help
I just picked up after about 2 years. This was refreshing to watch
40:37
I got jipped. I lead him around the bridge corner but he went on the ledge with me. I jumped around trying to escape i fell off and died, he fell off and died. I got the the gold ash of war but never got the runes. I ran back to pick them up. Thinking there was 55k there, i swallowed a golden foot. Nothing. Nada. I had 0 runes to begin with before i fell off. My rune pick up marker had 0.
Edit: i was farming the metal ball drop, got up to 82k then randomly it gave me 9,720 runes.
I did so much wrong, instead of getting golden seeds etc. I went to margit and tried to do him for 9 hours straight..
I did pretty much the same thing, tried to beat him with a lvl 7 character. I got close a couple times, but after 2 or 3 hours of trying I started looking for guides and found this gem of a video.
Thats technically the "right" way to play a souls game, you learned a lot, got better and you didnt meta game. Perfect souls experience
when i first got the game some people dropped me a load of runes enough to go to lvl 303 but i quit cause even wit the lvls i was buns. now Im back to play it the right way and experience it the fun way especially before shadow of the erdtree drops
I think the biggest thing for new players is the site of grace point to where you need to go , I tried playing when the game was new and it being my 1st time playing a dark souls game I was so confused on what I was supposed to be doing I didn't touch the game till months later. maybe I'm just really stupid
Decided to play elden ring for the first time, after reading all reviews, btw I am not a fan of souls game. Tried to follow this video, till I get the blood fang and level up up to +4, decided to fight tree sentinel for the first time and I only died 3times then finally beat it. I am very happy 😂. Thanks mate. Spending 10hrs just to follow every step in this video.
Here i am rune farming in limegrave because I was too afraid to venture out. Love how unique this game is.
Really good video bro! Set me up for success and makes the game so much more fun
Believe it or not , i just wished a video like this yesterday and i looked for it but didn't find anything, this was in the right moment! Thanks
Ive quit this game 3 times already since it came out. This is a great vid, thanks!
thnq so much for this walkthru .. rlly needed as i just begun yesterday and was clueless where and what to do... :)
amazing video! thanks for all the work you put into it. not gonna lie it took me 4 hours to do the first hour of the video lmao
While I agree you don't need to worry about crafting, don't ignore it either. Acquire as many materials and cookbooks as you can because later on in the game there maybe some items you will find useful to craft. Even if you don't use the materials you acquired, you can sell them for runes and that be more for you to spend.
I feel like you just saved me 2500 hours of playtime. Thanks for the incredible walkthrough!
This helped me alot thanks very much for this guide
Killer Video man! Appreciate it.
Heeeey thank you for this guide 😭 I just started today due to the dlc drop and this has been really helpful
Thanks for the video, good stuff. But a quick map shot of location when approaching a step, especially after FF your playthrough would be great!
Just what i needed. Thank you!
Just started playing this game on Sunday and all I want to say is...Thank You! Get straight to the point cuttin out the BS you don't need or waste my time on starting off. Gonna farm me some runes tonight!
Finally found the video I was looking for ❤❤❤❤
Just starting thanks for the nitty gritty love that stuff
So I just started playing this like a couple hours ago and I have to remap the heal button. Don't know what game has me hitting square, but I'm spamming potions.
Thank you for video, my comment would be what about Skills / Memory slots? You showed what to buy, but how to equip and use them I didn't understand.
Good vid tho.
This is such a helpful video! Keep up the awesome work boss!
Ive never played the souls games before but ive been thinking about picking up elden ring recently the only deterrent was how famously hard these games are but with this video i could see myself actually realy enjoying it.
Love my souls games yet held off on this for a while. Fantastic and informative video
I agree . Whenever I read steam store reviews of a game and the reviewer has like 10-40 hours I completely ignore it.
Visions of walkthrough… therefore praise the message!
Great video. Really helped me get started.
Why did the first big rune gain he had 40min into the video work for him, but not for me? The black knight on the horse just respawned when he fell off the cliff..
It has been patched I think
Dude over 900 hrs and I just learned you only have to hit the trolls once to get them to stop
Hi l am 68 yrs old trying to play souls games first time like the advice thanks
I’m new and can’t wait to try this bad ass game out ❤🎉
Best guide so far I have seen. Thanks
1:17 every starting armor is NOT accessible at the beginning of the game. Example: confessor armor isn’t available until Altus.
After watching this video i learned so much. Mainly that i am fooking terrible at video games.
You picked up several somber 7's on top of that rock in Caelid / dragon burrow. You can literally have a plus 9 somber just doing exactly what you did
