@@holdencampos3949 he never played any Souls game that seriously. And this is the first game from Fromsoftware that you actually have complete freedom to decide when, where, and what enemies to fight. So he probably hasn't realized that you can actually just go around enemies. In my first playthrough, I literally fought every enemy as I make way through stormveil castle. It was only then in my 50 hours of gameplay that I realized that I can just go around, lmao.
Tip: if you want to do massive damage by countering or backstabbing you have to be so close to the enemy and right infront of them and press r1 and then the critical damage animation will play, for example you counter the enemy and the enemy guard is down/open you have to stand directly infront of them and close then press r1 , you can't just press r1 immediately after countering the enemy. Good luck hollow 👌
@@ghostman7578 block with your shield then immediately hit the heavy attack (r2 or RT depending on your controller). It will play a sound to let you know you did it.
In these games you have to try to master the dodges you can't just use your shield and one of the ways to make the dodges easier to do is by lowering your equip load so your dodges can be fast and not slow it makes the dodges so much easier , you can lower the equip load by leveling up stats or removing or changing the armor & weapons you equip because it has varying weights, for example if you equip 2 weapons and the weapons is heavy your dodge will be slow and to fix that is by removing the 2nd weapon.
I know this is a year later but hard agree it’s very well down, the editing, the thorough learning of the game, not really missing obvious stuff cuz he reads everything, if he didn’t already he definitely has good game intuition even if he’s new to the series
I’m glad you’re doing a play through and that you aren’t the most experienced with these games, I got the game last night and it’s my first of these types of games. Hoping watching you I can learn
If you don't mind I'll leave this link to a video of ratatoskr teaching you how to use some of the new mechanics against enemies, believe me it will make your life a lot easier ua-cam.com/video/mXsFQDnqxBs/v-deo.html
Learning to dodge is the most important part, so manage your equip load to be lighter so you can dodge faster. And learn to implement charger up attacks to stun enemies. Backstab criticals and parry criticals is important to learn also. Mixing in the new jump attack is a good thing to do too.
I literally yelled “Let’s goooo!” When you killed the giant!🤣🤣 They’re really fun enemies and they get easier Hollow! Try to dodge underneath them and hit the legs from the inside, just be ready to dodge/block lol! Great Video!
You have to take advantage of the steed Torrent, especially with the bigger enemies like giants. You can dodge and move faster to avoid the big attacks. Love watching you play this!
@@whoishim2998 why are you here if this is boring like why do people comment negative stupid bs. If you got nothing good to say don’t say anything at all! Internet losers man
“So we have to learn their attack patterns” Exactly. You keep learning from your deaths. You’re getting the hang of it and learning to slow down your aggression. Very good.
Playing this game as a rookie, most of the time I'm just running for my life, and rolling, and running and rolling, indefinite circle. Every time I feel I'm so done with it, watching your video and seeing you suffer is just satisfying!!!
This is awesome, choosing the strongest enemies in game while you have basic sword and shield, with probably no armour at all. This is so me. Hahhahahahha :D
Man I love your playthroughs they're so entertaining to follow along with. I've been holding off on watching other people play it while I wait for new parts to be added to this series lol
Bro a couple things: 1) don’t be scared to die! Try new things, try new strategies, this game is about experimentation. If you die, you just grab your runes and try again.. it’s part of the process we all went through. No one was great at these games when we picked them up 2) shield is a great asset, but it kills your stamina and makes you immobile.. take off your second weapon that you don’t use because it’s weighing you down and making you fat roll. The quicker you roll, the more invincibility frames you get. This will let you avoid more attacks when rolling 3) watch a guide for beginners to Elden ring.. I think the channel vaati vidya put one up but there are many. It will teach you the important mechanics. These games are super fun when you get the combat down and you’ll be rewarded with one of the coolest atmospheres and world you’ve seen in a game. This game gets WILD about 1/4 of the way through the
In hard times like these you find ur self enjoying very little things and watching you play elden ring is among these , do keep playing and dont fail us .
@Hollow if you want to make stealth easier, go literally right up behind the enemy until you are virtually touching them and hold R1, will give you massive damage, also use your mount more in combat situations, it's very useful for its mobility and it has a lot of health, also you can double jump with it to reach higher areas that you normally wouldn't be able to. And most of all, explore and persevere, your doing really well to say this is your first major experience of a souls like game, keep up the great work man 👍
Hollow, love watching the gameplay bro! This is a game where you have GOT to learn the basics without going in blind because you are misinterpreting what a lot of the leveling attributes actually are (strength and dexterity) and wasting some points. Also, the armor and weapons you use significantly affect the speed and distance you cover in running, fighting and rolling. I think if you were playing with a full understanding of the game mechanics and progression system, the grind would be faster and a lot more enjoyable for you. Really hope you continue the series! Love the videos!
They way that I level up and save my runes is gathering Rowa fruit which when you sell one is 10 runes but when you have 999 Rowa fruit and sell it you will receive 9990 runes. I just kept on doing that for hours, rather than just killing the creatures/monsters. And it got me up to Level 35.
Keep it a series, even if you drop one vid a week showing progression and you grind off camera. The beginning can be a rough patch but once you level up you’ll melt through this area like butter
Tip 1: Unequip the spear so you roll faster. Tip 2: When fighting big enemies, stay behind and close to them. During that, you can dodge better and deal better damage.
My best accomplishments so far are killing 7 of the big guys in one go and the boss that leads to the castle 😂 also went back and fought the horse guy who killed me many many times
Here’s a tip hollow, when you are going up behind a enemy don’t immediately press r1 unless you are touching there backside, cause your not getting the critical hits, and if they fall forward, stand directly in front of them and then press r1, don’t hit r1 from a distance or it won’t work
I'm definitely picking the samurai for my 1st playthrough because you get a bow and a sword and seems like the arrows are pretty powerful from what everyone has been saying staying back and taking targets out from the distance lol
@Deeken Wheeler I went with the tank class the very first one lol I honestly don't even know how to work the menu couldn't figure out how to equip the horse ring took me 15 min to figure out. That's how much of a noob I am at souls game. It's my first time.
Hey - well done man! I found I couldn't complete anything much of DS3, and you started as fearful as I did and - you're still going! So - kudos! I think you're worth watching! More ER please!
So this is not a tip, it's a must. Get rid of the shield, unequip it and use the weapons 2 handed, and learn how to dodge, since shields later on and against bosses are useless, you just survive 2 more seconds. And make sure you don't heavy roll.
Well i think a shield can be useful throughout the game. But your right with that learning to dodge is more important. But if you learn to dodge good and then you can use the shield for maximum defense. So if someone likes to use shield i think it's a valid option, but mastering the dodging is the most important part. And to learn to implement charger up attacks to stun and do backstabs criticals and parry criticals. Mixing in the new jump attack is a good thing to do too.
@@vincentdc211 not necessarily, there are different speeds of rolls that depends on how much equip load you have. For example. If you have heavy armor you are most likely gonna heavy roll. Which is a very slow roll animation. But if you have lighter armor or take off some equipment you will have a faster rolling animation.
Let’s get it!!!! Also I’d say look up some videos to find some good weapons to help you out on your journey. I know that may not be your style but it could really help you out if you get some good weapons, also don’t forget MAGIC IS BROKEN ASF!!!
Hollow! i dont know if anyone left this comment yet, however your equipment is too heavy! you have heavy rolls which is slowing you down and making you take more damage than you need to, i would unequip your helmet until you find other armor. hope this helps! theres also an attribute that helps this if you increase it so you give yourself options!
So happy to see you on this game. I love your content. I just started playing this game and after learning curve am having a blast. It’ll definitely change how open worlds are viewed.
demon souls on the ps5 was my first ever introduction into the souls games , completed after many hours and is one of my fav games on ps5 ,looking forward to playing this
Tip: I suggest using stealth and taking out all of the knights at the gate front ruins. After there is a hidden path in the ruins that leads you to the wetstone knife that is used for ashes of war. This will grant you abilities and upgrades you can use for your weapons in the future.
Keep it going my man, you will improve quickly when you focus on the basics. Tip: youre fatrolling (too much weight). It slows you down. Try to lose some heavy armor.
Tips for hollow : 1. Each Enemy has a unique attack pattern like A fast attacker, Heavy attacker (Like their Attack Combo: Ex. The Enemy swings 5 times Next Does a Charge attack something like that ) so u just need to study the Specific Enemy even if u Die many times so don't be upset Everytime u die Hollow.
whats up guys, decided to give it another go.
Not an official series yest, I would say.
If youd like to see me Leave it a like. Thanks for watching!
I know the game is very difficult but please keep uploading it🙏😃
scrub
Hint: rotate around enemy to his back and light attack does killing blow, a staple in all souls games, can also do this when crouch/sneaking
Hint: Turn your multiplayer on so you can see hints and messages throughout the map from other players in the world, very helpful
Hint: when approaching large groups use throwing knives or bow to single out an enemy lead him away and take down one at a time
The fact that he’s actually fighting every enemy on his way to the castle is impressive, I just ran pass them lol
"Impressive"
Same lol fuck that
Because u chicken
I just lured them out one or two at a time

This is probably the best/non-toxic gaming reception ive seen so far, everyone's giving advice and tips and crap. Keep it up folks!

They’re really fun enemies and they get easier Hollow! Try to dodge underneath them and hit the legs from the inside, just be ready to dodge/block lol! Great Video!
Man whenever Hollow has gets those big victories against bosses I can't but help get as equally as excited
You have to take advantage of the steed Torrent, especially with the bigger enemies like giants. You can dodge and move faster to avoid the big attacks. Love watching you play this!
I loved the first part can't wait for more, but it's going to be painful for you!
Painfully boring.

Me: so Beating elden ring is impossible?
Hollow: Always has been
🤣🤣
Nice to see a challenging game for a change, progress feels a lot more satisfying , slowly does it! A lot of content in this game , truly beautiful
“Its like a horse with horns” 😂😂😂
This is awesome, choosing the strongest enemies in game while you have basic sword and shield, with probably no armour at all. This is so me. Hahhahahahha :D
I'm a few hours ahead of Hollow so I've recently visited most of these parts. The commentary cracks me up because it's so damn relatable. Love it.
Man I love your playthroughs they're so entertaining to follow along with. I've been holding off on watching other people play it while I wait for new parts to be added to this series lol

Sounds like played a lot, do u like the Vagabond or Hero?
"That was comical", gets destroyed 😂
Won’t lie. His “HIYA!” Is hilarious.
In hard times like these you find ur self enjoying very little things and watching you play elden ring is among these , do keep playing and dont fail us .
This is hard but it's so fun watching you play it. Hope there's more episodes!
The game is enjoyable when Hollow's charisma is present. When you play it, that's a different story
how many people did you bait with this trap of yours?
23:50 this is why I hate playing with shield not until I find a way by rolling it out
@Hollow if you want to make stealth easier, go literally right up behind the enemy until you are virtually touching them and hold R1, will give you massive damage, also use your mount more in combat situations, it's very useful for its mobility and it has a lot of health, also you can double jump with it to reach higher areas that you normally wouldn't be able to.

Tip 1: Unequip the spear so you roll faster.

Tip3: the spear does more damage use spear but without the shield so you can roll better

It took two episodes to realize all you had to do was block 😂😂
Dude at 17:11 your reaction it had me dying 😂😂😂
At 15:23 when you killed the guard that big black box looking thing has loot at the front of it that you missed
The tough part was learning I could use Torrent to pick and choose about 90% of battles, at which point I went exploring lol
Great playthrough, remind me of when I tried Dark Souls 1 for the first time. Obv thats an old game now so this is cool.
My best accomplishments so far are killing 7 of the big guys in one go and the boss that leads to the castle 😂 also went back and fought the horse guy who killed me many many times
Watching the series for a second time and I just realized he’s doing all that while fat rolling it’s quite impressive

Am I the only one asking myself out loud: "Why aren't you using your horse?" lol
Man you need to churn out more of this from Elden Ring. You've got the hang of it my man.

Funny how he called the giant monster a man haha
You CAN DOUBLE JUMP WITH YOUR HORSE BRO 👍👍
Press and hold down arrow to return to first usable slot, which is your health flask
try to dodge more and not rely fully on the shield, also use jumping attacks, theyre a great gap closer after an enemy attacks

Do u know how frustrating this game is? lol
