I saw someone complaining this game needed easy mode but clearly they haven't seen this weapon yet but I gotta say this and azur's beam makes this game easy af, ik it'll get nerfed but I'm gonna enjoy it for now lol
a longer charge and higher fp cost and this would be a pretty balanced weapon. i was using it because i thought it was cool, but now everyone gets mad at me for playing “easy mode” :(.
@@krazysamurai counter them by saying summoning is easy mode, if they wanted a challenge they wouldn't be asking others for help lol. I play with no shield and solo, and using a shield or playing with others makes the game far easier than not
It literally happens so often in fromsoft games you get used to it. Honestly you are way more likely to die with the boss at 10% hp then any other time lol

One of the fun things about souls games is that you can make an easy mode yourself. In every souls game there is a build that makes the game ALOT easier
I just started out with DS2 (I know everyone says it's the worst, but it's also the cheapest one to start with) first I went with Warrior and Human Effigy lmao that wasn't fun at all, second run as a Sorcerer with Life Ring is MUCH more enjoyable, plus I'm almost strong enough to use the fire longsword
@@nomames6855 ds2 is my favourite of the trilogy also, I like the powerstancing, and I like the fact that the geography of the world doesn't make sense at all, gives a very strong sense of losing your mind/going hollow, and the dark ending dialogue is my favourite cutscene in the series also, love the dialogue.
@@PyroPsycho95 same I love the map design, and it's one of the most hated features about the game. In the intro the lady talking to you literally tells you you'll be wondering with no direct in particular aand you'll end up where you need to be not even knowing how you got there because your losing your mind.
Correct, there have always been easy builds in Souls games and they're not exactly difficult to figure out. Magic users and greatshield vitality/vigor/"whatever the HP stat is" builds have always been the option for players who either didn't like or were somehow unable to grasp the fast action parts of the combat. Two-handed weapon melee builds are not intended for beginners. The disadvantage is that these builds are typically bad in PVP, although magic did have its moments (especially dark magic). Bloodborne was a bit of a notable exception in that it provided less options and emphasized the action part, and Sekiro was almost closer to a Ninja Gaiden successor than a Souls RPG.
It’s crazy how I have 60+ hours in this game and haven’t seen any of what Charlie is doing. I’m a pretty leisurely player but still. It makes me excited to play again.
@@Lumpofchicken You need to do part of Ranni's questline just to do the Divine Tower in Liurnia so assuming you'd want to activate all your runes, you'd be doing the same thing
Its fine, the most important thing is if you like the npc Google if they have a questline, impossible to do most questlines without guides so googling is part of the game don't be ashamed to search info
@@zenks5883 That's how I felt. I find 90% of the NPC questlines tedious to do without looking up at least the general steps. I just look at where I need to try to go then I'm good, since part of what makes me enjoy these games massively are those quests. I want to see it all for my first playthrough.
"His timing is remarkable" Well their AI is based on your button inputs, if you 'heal' with a flask while the boss is within acting range, the boss will 'act'. This is why sometimes not panic chugging a flask will have the boss not 'act' and try to finish you off. This is also why spells and attacks that focus on holding 1 button bugs out the AI invaders and they don't roll, they don't respond to automated animation moves, only your button inputs as you do it. Spam glintstone pebble at the invader in the roundtable and they roll 80% of it. Charge glintstone star and notice they mainly don't roll as much.
There's a weird darkness sorcery that shoots like... 5 homing orbs. The orbs initially don't move much, and then they have a long tracking timer (and I think they eventually somewhat speed up). Point is, the enemy will roll when the orbs are summoned, and only when the orbs are summoned, and basically never dodge the actual projectiles. This also somewhat works with the floating swords. You summon them, AI dodges, then the swords slap then in the face most of the time.
Found about this with Radahn's Arrow snipe. It won't hit If you ramp up your horse speed at the last second so I think it considers players' speed for the arrow's speed.
my favorite part about this game how different builds struggle vastly different with different bosses. i know it’s obvious to say but you don’t get that pure bias from bosses in games anymore. what charlie struggles with i breeze thru and then i see this man breeze thru shit that took me hours. gives me a new level of appreciation
Yeah, it's nice to have a game that isn't afraid to allow some true build weaknesses. Makes the build feel all the better when you get a boss that it clicks with.
I would say Decaying Ekzikes is pure bias, despawns like 4 times, his arena is trash, the AoE is so massive u run for like 10 seconds and it stills catches you, since he is an big dragon his head is very difficult to hit compared to agheel or normal dragons, and he has an massive HP pool considering it still caelid and not aeonia or dragonbarrow.
Ancestral Spirit and Astel are some of the coolest designs ever. The whole ethereal environment topped off with these amazing bosses blew me away when I first did Ranni's questline.
The people working at From Soft can't possibly be human. I remember thinking for the longest time during it's development that it was straight up vaporware. Never thought it was gonna come out. Then when details came out I remember thinking that going open world was a stupid idea for a souls game and that it wouldn't work. Hard cut to after release and 90% of the most dedicated core fanbase have already declared it as their favorite out of all of them and it is more or less universally praised as being as close to a perfect game as a game can be. A literal masterpiece. Not just huge achievement. An ACTUAL master class of game design. I can think of another game that has more or less cemented it's place in the gaming hall of fame as one of the best games of all time as quickly after its release as elden ring has.
And this isn’t even the game’s final form. There are many patches they are going to do like balancing, bug fixes, AI Fixes etc. And they will definitely release DLC.

Tree sentinels exist to teach you that you dont need to fight every enemy, the first time you see him hes easily avoidable but blocks your path, and the second time you can just run past them
True, but the first sentinel was a good introduction to Elden ring's gameplay. Jump attacks and using the environment is a good way to make a regular souls player change their gameplay style from other souls games to using Elden ring's unique features
There's also this black flame sword i got from the god apostle boss, the weapon art does 2k damage to resistant enemy , and 4k damage to blackflame-weak enemy lmao, there are definitely some insane weapon in this game
@@snixal who cares it's fun and it's a game. I don't know why you guys keep complaining when it doesn't matter at all. if I wanna cheese and use OP weapons then so be it

@@JohnDoe-kn7ex I found it harder than a lot of other bosses! Luckily it only has one flask. Im fairly tanky, 4 shot players in melee with a dagger and one shot with spells so... it was interesting having it returned to me. First tried it but it was harder than other nearby bosses like Ancestor Spirits and Dragonkin.
@@Happyfoam-lw3yt Rennala's Full Moon spell creates a moon projectile that dispells sorceries it hits and temporarily reduces enemies magic damage negation. If you use that once before Comet combined with Terra you do more damage.
One of the only issues I've seen with Elden Ring isn't even Elden Ring itself. It's that annoying vocal minority that feel strongly about their own experiences with the game series. So much that they have to demand others follow the exact playstyle otherwise your experience is invalidated. Weird, inane, unspoken rules that they drop on others like a boss attack. It's so weird that people want agency in how you experience a game. To be clear, these people aren't the worst. The had an experience in these games that they enjoyed so much they want to share it. It strays from sharing to shackling. I've been in and out of your streams since Elden Ring launched and the amount of people trying to direct your experience of the game is nuts.
Yeah, but that seems to be almost every fanbase. Hollow Knight and Undertale are INSANELY fun and cute games but the fanbases will freak out if you don't play how they want you to play. It doesn't make the games bad at ALL... But goddamn it makes me avoid the fanbases, which sucks cuz there's lots of cool people to discover. Same to Elden Ring/the Souls series, I think.
"The had an experience in these games that they enjoyed so much they want to share it. It strays from sharing to shackling." Huh. Thats a REALLY good way to put it. Not just games but a lot of things. Like person x wants person y to have the same really good time at a restaurant they did, so they order for person y and micromanage the entire meal and ruin the experience for person y.
@@punani_slayer4209 Hard agree. When people like something and feel passionately about it, and when that thing becomes really popular its bound to be bad. Smaller, less popular things people feel passionately about are the best imo (in terms of fan bases) Im a big manga fan. One Piece (maybe my favorite), Naruto and Dragon Ball are awesome and have SHIT fanbases. Smaller stuff like Kengan is awesome and has amazing fanbases. Or like compare the current Elden Ring crowd to the Demons Souls crowd. How many people are telling Demon Souls players that magic is OP or the wrong way to play the game? You can two shot bosses with spells in both games, but only in Elden Ring was "magic OP, needs nerf, not a real Souls player if you use magic, etc. etc." Or go on any forum for a popular game vs a non popular game. I think its just more popular means more people, more people means more idiots/jackasses, more idiots/jackasses means worse fanbase. Best (worst) example imo was Monster Hunter pre/post World. Fanbase completely changed (probably because it grew like quadruple the size lol), went from pretty civil, fair, "everybody shares/gets a turn picking the hunt" to toxic, taking all the items, hiding in camp expecting teammates to solo bosses, people getting carried through the game and ending up in quests where theyre LITERALLY useless (cant harm the monster and get one shot), toxic call outs, bad sportsmanship, intentional messing with carving, intentionally messing with players like cancelling rides with flashes and more. Builds (NEW META!!!!) got totally swapped to like mega DPS shit that everyone copy pasted and theyd get one shot by new monsters, then go on twitter or reddit or wherever and complain how bullshit the new monster was because their copy paste build wasnt good against it. Steam reviews were flooded negatively after new bosses that were "too hard" (despite much harder bosses existing in older games players didnt know about). Shit was nuts. Dont want to straight up say the fanbase was ruined but... its not the same as it used to be at all.
something to add, people will say its easy mode using certain items in souls games but honestly, just play however the fuck you want, if u want the challenge, dont use it, if u want to make it a bit easier on yourself use whatever u want, its a "singleplayer" game so u have full control of how u want to play
I thought I was being clever trying to use Torrent's double jump to break my fall then I'd die from like barely an inch above the ground and realized that wasn't gonna work and made damage more 💀😂
I feel like the sorcery version of this spell is at least a little bit more balanced by comparison. It's still kinda nuts how much damage it does, but it also feels a lot more justified there because of the massive commitment that goes towards casting it (both in stats and in actual start-up lag).
@@TenebrusI07 Yeah, but only if you can actually hit it and keep hitting it. All it takes is the boss moving just a tiny bit during or after the cast animation for the whole thing to whiff (which happens like 95% of the time I go for that). It's still absurdly strong, don't get me wrong, but against any boss that actually moves and punishes long commitments, the sword is way more of a free win. It's faster and costs so little FP that you risk next to nothing for throwing it out, which more than makes up for it not doing as much damage.
No, you can't. Mimic also copy your stats. They'll still use whatever weapon you give them but they won't do any damage at all due to not meeting the stat requirement. Non-permanent buffs also doesn't get transferred to the mimic, unless the mimic uses the buff after summoned.
FromSoftware: Intentionally designs the game in a way where you can choose your own difficulty through the build you use Tryhards: This is broken and it needs to be nurfed
Lmao true, there is no " difficulty " setting because as you say, you can tailor the kind of build you have and the level of damage it can take and dish out, pro players will do hitless runs with no armour and a basic sword, casual players who don't have the time/skill/patience to experience the game as they want to, will utilise all the arsenal they can, which is absolutely fine, that's why its there lol, people who gatekeep videogames have a dent in their heads.
@@another3166 PVP is probably not gonna be a big thing in this game anyways. Theres literally an item that just gives you an ''Aura'' of the death status effect. So you can just run after someone and they will instadie without counterplay afaik.

If you guys have trouble with the double tree sentinels, if you're running night and flame you should have enough faith for the lighting spear spell. For some reason they cannot time the incantaion correctly and drop their shield after a fully charged spear. Sometimes they keep it up longer or time it correctly but most of the time they don't. I recommend cast the spears while you are on horse, if you have your seal secondary you will need to 2 hand the seal while on horse or just simply switch the seal to your primary to use your spells. It works much better than using the sword of night and flame.
@@Diaisdumb The OG mariner? In Limgrave? He just stands there for the most part and lets you smash on him, just gotta smack his dorks every now and then. Gives you access to the best farming spot early game, one of the best incantations, puts you near that dragon which you can kill for a free 70k runes, and D is nearby if you want to kill him for his armor
One of the reasons I love souls games, you start eating shit, but at some point, if you build your character correctly, you feel like a god, and even then you can still be killed. You get the feeling of being op without really being op but after a really hard work.
nah dude the game got waay to easy later with mimic and bleed lol. dual wield katana but river of blood on ur mimic then switch to seppaku for you, easy no hit mellina
Honestly, the best gimmick fight. Rykard actually fights, he is cool and creepy, and has plenty of attacks unlike Yhorm for example sadly. And the Serpent Hunter is a better gimmick weapon than the Storm Ruler as well.
Panic roll is exactly why I find this game so much more difficult than DS games. Almost every enemy has a pause in attacks so if you go from DS to Elden Ring, it's a nightmare learning the timing.
this is one version of easy mode, but the other is mohgwyn’s sacred spear. its weapon skill has giant aoe, insane damage, and it procs bleed. not to mention the weapon itself does good poise damage and pretty quick attacks. another ‘easy mode’ could be considered the ancient dragon’s lightning strike incantation on basically any large boss, but it’s in farum azula, so not really an option for most of the game. i’d also definitely say the black flame tornado aow, but again, it’s in farum azula.
On an unrelated note, I just absolutely put the WWE Raw smack down on Pontiff Sulyvahn for the first time ever in DS3. Took me quite a few attempts but I finally did it and I'm proud of myself.
Beat that game 3 times and my favorite weapons are by far the winged knight twin axes. With enough strength you can decimate even the nameless king in under 5 minutes if you're lucky.
I just beat the dual tree sentinels last night and it was kinda tough. I didn’t watch the stream (sadly) but if you beat them you get a dope Shield that shoots holy shit idk it’s weird. But you have to have it in his right hand that’s why I don’t use it. I could be wrong but idk.
That Mimic Tear boss caught me offguard with my Moonveil Katana Glass cannon build. It was +9 at that point, along with a meteorite katana. It did the L2-R1 out of nowhere and left me with just about 1hp.
I just died to the exact same boss as him at the EXACT same time. I wasn’t even paying attention to the video and he ended up in the same spot as me dying the exact same second. (Lake of rot)
The radahn thing is weird I 5 tried him everyone said he’s the hardest but out of the main 4 bosses I’ve fought Godrick was the hardest for me. (Build is dex dual wield bloody scimitar +14 weapon art bloody slash and curved serpent sword +12)
Lol it's the opposite for me. Radahn took me over two hours, and I comfortably second tried Godrick. Only died at the first try because of a stupid greedy mistake I made when going in for the finish
What I love about Elden Ring is its like FromSoft decided since their known for epic boss fights they decide to make it 70% boss fights. I'm loving this game
I love how From Software manages difficulty in their games. Instead of making an arbitrary difficulty option menu detached to the actual experience they imbed the type of difficult experience you want to have through combat systems and content. It is truly the way it should be
honestly I don't think they got it right at all. Not because it is too difficult or too easy, because it is inconsistent. There have been several times I have struggled with a zone, killed the boss and moved on to the next zone and then had basically no issue in an area where you have to go through a more difficult zone to get to it in the first place. The scaling is just not dialed in right at all. Some bosses likewise feel like absolute units while others are pushovers, sometimes within the same area. Some bosses I hit them for 700 and it chunks their health bar while other I tickle for 700 when they are two bosses in the same dungeon. It just feels...off. Enemy posture is also inconsistent. I like me some colossal weapons and generally those take 3-4 jumping heavy attacks relatively close together to stagger bosses but sometimes they just. won't. stagger. The game really would have benifited from a posture indicator like sekiro since it is such a vital part of combat this time around. Feels awkward just guessing how close to staggered they are or how fast their posture is recovering when they are not giving you any openings to land a hit.
@@callumrichard392 did you even read what I said? No dude that isn't the root of inconsistency the entire game is inconsistent when it comes to combat. But as to your comment, no dude literally the same boss will take different number of hits to stagger and my ass is aggressive as hell to the point of trading damage in order to keep the posture from recovering. For that specifically the game needs some indicator that an enemy is near breaking. It can be subtle, slightly slower attacks, heavy breathing, a limp when in "ok imma just walk around a bit" mode, etc.
I kinda dont like how inconsistent the Caelid bosses are. You'll have a pushover that drops 91000 souls then one dungeon later youll find a boss 50x harder that gives 7100 souls. Or youll one shot a boss that couldnt even tickle you, and next boss one shots you. Also I feel too OP almost. Like Im exploring too much but... whats the solution there? Die more? Dont explore? idk. I think they absolutely did the best they could but balancing a game like this seems too hard.
@@wr5488 there solution seems to be the most bullshit zone in the history of fromsoft games: Lake of Rot. Doesn't matter how good you are or how over-leveled it is just pain.
I can't buy the game for another week or 2 but it's SO HARD to not watch Charlie play Elden Ring cause he's just having SO MUCH FUN and it looks so amazing!!!
Woulda been real useful for that valiant gargoyle fight. Imma have to find that summon for the two bosses at once fights cause sometimes those get mad annoying.
1:10 he didn't, you just rolled when you should have started the kamehameha blast and his animation ended before yours. 3:06 It actually does have good damage as just a sword, but most of the power comes from upgrades and not as much from scaling so just build accordingly. Upgrade weapon whenever possible and build for more FP and less int/faith. Pop some buffs, stack talismans and Physick flask for it and use the double burger king face mask and 2 shot damn near everything. It is ridiculously OP and it's only real downside is that the L2+R1 art doesn't aim properly if you're even slightly higher or lower elevation than your enemy so you just have to position wisely on ground that isn't flat. Due to not needing to prioritize Int+Faith until the end you can easily build for 40 vigor and 20 Endurance for ~40 poise total from armor to not only poise through most attacks once or twice but have the effective health to survive doing so.
the build where u use the flask for no mana loss. just have your summon draw aggro and then use the incantation for the beam and simply hold the button down.
Check out hoarfrost stomp ash of war if you wanna use an op move that doesn’t require as much fp or stat investment. Also comes out way faster and works on most weapons.
whats annoying about the godskin apostle is that it does its fire ball when you press the button to use flask it isnt just bad luck you can wait ages but as soon as you use flask thats when it does it
This game needs a boss rush mode where you fight all bosses (repeats included) in order of when from soft expects you to encounter them, you will have your flasks refilled and your items refilled if you have more in storeage but other than that you get no help at all during it unless you summon before the boss rush starts.
What I love about the game is that you technically can choose your own difficulty fairly consistently in Elden Ring. Hardmode in elden ring is just beelining straight to Radahn, and easy mode is taking your time to beat all the areas and explore every inch of the world before moving on. I had an easier time fighting radahn even with a melee build but that's because I fought him after around 50 hours of game progression so he was exponentially easier.
I have played this game for around 4 days now, I love it so much. There is so much detail in the world, for a example I remember encountering a sleeping bear, a white wolf and a gray wolf on a rock watching their pack run around them… It’s just wow, I have never seen this much detail since red dead 2 (it has less detail then red dead but still a lot to kinda be considered)
And the sense of scale in this open world is just ridiculous. I was really mesmerized when I had climbed to the rooftops of the academy. Here I was on top of a massive castle that was built on top of a massive platue, I could barely see the ground, and yet looking out on the beautiful horizon other massive structures and landmarks in the distance and the almighty erd tree towering over EVERYTHING. I seriously hope we are able to scale that tree. I would love to see the view from the top of the world
Elden ring is the most accessible soulsborne game and does not need an easy mode. I truly feel like most players can get into this game and complete it if they utilize summons and pick a sorcery based class. So many OP weapons can be found in this game which can ez carry u
Sorcery is definitely not the way to go for a first time player, I feel like it's only very good to experienced players. Sure there are some bosses you'll ruin with magic regardless of skill level, but there are some that have really powerful counters to ranged builds, and a new player who has only been using ranged is not going to have a good time with that, while a more experienced mage will be able to adapt.
@@RaylaEclipse From my own experiences, I have a friend who is super casual in gaming and wanted to try Elden Ring. She has never played any soulsborne games and just knows it's hard. I recommended a sorcery and summoning build and the game does get a lot easier. She was able to beat Margit and Tree Sentinel after some exploring and grinding. She killed them after not too many tries (like 6-10) and continues to do pretty well. Sorcery and summons definitely make the game more accessible which I personally really like.
@@anthonyargueta131 Interesting, as a Soulsborne vet who normally is pure melee, I decided to go spellsword in Elden Ring for my first playthrough. Some bosses were made super trivial by it, while others I feel were made a lot harder. I do like that what bosses are the hardest for people is different based on your build, it definitely makes it feel like your build really matters.
@@RaylaEclipse That's definitely true. I have a pretty diversed build so far so I can substitute weapons and such depending on the opponents resistances. But sorcerers can kill pretty much anything if they use summons and invest a bit into strength and dex for a weapon (like the moonveil)Sure, they may struggle with bosses but that's dark souks for ya
Elden Ring has a hard mode too, where bosses summon wasps in real life to attack you.

Point is, the enemy will roll when the orbs are summoned, and only when the orbs are summoned, and basically never dodge the actual projectiles.
This also somewhat works with the floating swords. You summon them, AI dodges, then the swords slap then in the face most of the time.

@@aminulhussain2277 Knowing FromSoft, they would nerf the spells rather than buff their AI.
my favorite part about this game how different builds struggle vastly different with different bosses. i know it’s obvious to say but you don’t get that pure bias from bosses in games anymore. what charlie struggles with i breeze thru and then i see this man breeze thru shit that took me hours. gives me a new level of appreciation
Yeah, it's nice to have a game that isn't afraid to allow some true build weaknesses. Makes the build feel all the better when you get a boss that it clicks with.
I would say Decaying Ekzikes is pure bias, despawns like 4 times, his arena is trash, the AoE is so massive u run for like 10 seconds and it stills catches you, since he is an big dragon his head is very difficult to hit compared to agheel or normal dragons, and he has an massive HP pool considering it still caelid and not aeonia or dragonbarrow.
There should be a “moist%” where you release a wasp in your room and speed run the game
That wouldn't work in Charlie because the wasp would speed him up
"Holy shit this is beautiful" is how I feel everyone reacts to the first time they see Astel. Absolutely blown away by the design, arena, and music.
Ancestral Spirit and Astel are some of the coolest designs ever. The whole ethereal environment topped off with these amazing bosses blew me away when I first did Ranni's questline.
The people working at From Soft can't possibly be human. I remember thinking for the longest time during it's development that it was straight up vaporware. Never thought it was gonna come out. Then when details came out I remember thinking that going open world was a stupid idea for a souls game and that it wouldn't work. Hard cut to after release and 90% of the most dedicated core fanbase have already declared it as their favorite out of all of them and it is more or less universally praised as being as close to a perfect game as a game can be. A literal masterpiece. Not just huge achievement. An ACTUAL master class of game design. I can think of another game that has more or less cemented it's place in the gaming hall of fame as one of the best games of all time as quickly after its release as elden ring has.
And this isn’t even the game’s final form.
There are many patches they are going to do like balancing, bug fixes, AI Fixes etc.
And they will definitely release DLC.

Tree sentinels exist to teach you that you dont need to fight every enemy, the first time you see him hes easily avoidable but blocks your path, and the second time you can just run past them
True, but the first sentinel was a good introduction to Elden ring's gameplay. Jump attacks and using the environment is a good way to make a regular souls player change their gameplay style from other souls games to using Elden ring's unique features
There's also this black flame sword i got from the god apostle boss, the weapon art does 2k damage to resistant enemy , and 4k damage to blackflame-weak enemy lmao, there are definitely some insane weapon in this game

One of the only issues I've seen with Elden Ring isn't even Elden Ring itself. It's that annoying vocal minority that feel strongly about their own experiences with the game series. So much that they have to demand others follow the exact playstyle otherwise your experience is invalidated. Weird, inane, unspoken rules that they drop on others like a boss attack.
It's so weird that people want agency in how you experience a game. To be clear, these people aren't the worst. The had an experience in these games that they enjoyed so much they want to share it. It strays from sharing to shackling.
I've been in and out of your streams since Elden Ring launched and the amount of people trying to direct your experience of the game is nuts.
true. Definetly one of the worst fanbases out there imo
Yeah, but that seems to be almost every fanbase. Hollow Knight and Undertale are INSANELY fun and cute games but the fanbases will freak out if you don't play how they want you to play. It doesn't make the games bad at ALL... But goddamn it makes me avoid the fanbases, which sucks cuz there's lots of cool people to discover. Same to Elden Ring/the Souls series, I think.
@@punani_slayer4209 terrible statement
"The had an experience in these games that they enjoyed so much they want to share it. It strays from sharing to shackling."
Huh. Thats a REALLY good way to put it. Not just games but a lot of things. Like person x wants person y to have the same really good time at a restaurant they did, so they order for person y and micromanage the entire meal and ruin the experience for person y.
@@punani_slayer4209 Hard agree. When people like something and feel passionately about it, and when that thing becomes really popular its bound to be bad. Smaller, less popular things people feel passionately about are the best imo (in terms of fan bases)
Im a big manga fan. One Piece (maybe my favorite), Naruto and Dragon Ball are awesome and have SHIT fanbases. Smaller stuff like Kengan is awesome and has amazing fanbases.
Or like compare the current Elden Ring crowd to the Demons Souls crowd. How many people are telling Demon Souls players that magic is OP or the wrong way to play the game? You can two shot bosses with spells in both games, but only in Elden Ring was "magic OP, needs nerf, not a real Souls player if you use magic, etc. etc." Or go on any forum for a popular game vs a non popular game. I think its just more popular means more people, more people means more idiots/jackasses, more idiots/jackasses means worse fanbase.
Best (worst) example imo was Monster Hunter pre/post World. Fanbase completely changed (probably because it grew like quadruple the size lol), went from pretty civil, fair, "everybody shares/gets a turn picking the hunt" to toxic, taking all the items, hiding in camp expecting teammates to solo bosses, people getting carried through the game and ending up in quests where theyre LITERALLY useless (cant harm the monster and get one shot), toxic call outs, bad sportsmanship, intentional messing with carving, intentionally messing with players like cancelling rides with flashes and more. Builds (NEW META!!!!) got totally swapped to like mega DPS shit that everyone copy pasted and theyd get one shot by new monsters, then go on twitter or reddit or wherever and complain how bullshit the new monster was because their copy paste build wasnt good against it. Steam reviews were flooded negatively after new bosses that were "too hard" (despite much harder bosses existing in older games players didnt know about). Shit was nuts. Dont want to straight up say the fanbase was ruined but... its not the same as it used to be at all.

@@HonsHonwrong
I still don't know how you could have such a calm demeanor when you die on a 1hp remaining boss
1:56 bro did not have to let out that little grunt 😭
I feel like the sorcery version of this spell is at least a little bit more balanced by comparison. It's still kinda nuts how much damage it does, but it also feels a lot more justified there because of the massive commitment that goes towards casting it (both in stats and in actual start-up lag).
Yeah but once you have it, game is essentially over, you can mix an unlimited FP Physick and melt just about any boss while its active.
@@TenebrusI07 Yeah, but only if you can actually hit it and keep hitting it. All it takes is the boss moving just a tiny bit during or after the cast animation for the whole thing to whiff (which happens like 95% of the time I go for that).
It's still absurdly strong, don't get me wrong, but against any boss that actually moves and punishes long commitments, the sword is way more of a free win. It's faster and costs so little FP that you risk next to nothing for throwing it out, which more than makes up for it not doing as much damage.
What is it??
Also you can equip literally anything while you're using mimic, summon it. And it will be able to use the weapons as if they met the stat requirements
The mimic needs to be nerfed badly lol
No, you can't. Mimic also copy your stats. They'll still use whatever weapon you give them but they won't do any damage at all due to not meeting the stat requirement. Non-permanent buffs also doesn't get transferred to the mimic, unless the mimic uses the buff after summoned.

Facts
Lmao true, there is no " difficulty " setting because as you say, you can tailor the kind of build you have and the level of damage it can take and dish out, pro players will do hitless runs with no armour and a basic sword, casual players who don't have the time/skill/patience to experience the game as they want to, will utilise all the arsenal they can, which is absolutely fine, that's why its there lol, people who gatekeep videogames have a dent in their heads.

@YeaMan bro please I know this is likely a bot comment but just gain sentience and realize you need to stfu
If you guys have trouble with the double tree sentinels, if you're running night and flame you should have enough faith for the lighting spear spell. For some reason they cannot time the incantaion correctly and drop their shield after a fully charged spear. Sometimes they keep it up longer or time it correctly but most of the time they don't. I recommend cast the spears while you are on horse, if you have your seal secondary you will need to 2 hand the seal while on horse or just simply switch the seal to your primary to use your spells. It works much better than using the sword of night and flame.
Damn, Mariner really is the Pinwheel of this game. He even drops super useful stuff you'd want to snag at the very start

@@Diaisdumb The OG mariner? In Limgrave? He just stands there for the most part and lets you smash on him, just gotta smack his dorks every now and then. Gives you access to the best farming spot early game, one of the best incantations, puts you near that dragon which you can kill for a free 70k runes, and D is nearby if you want to kill him for his armor
One of the reasons I love souls games, you start eating shit, but at some point, if you build your character correctly, you feel like a god, and even then you can still be killed. You get the feeling of being op without really being op but after a really hard work.
nah dude the game got waay to easy later with mimic and bleed lol. dual wield katana but river of blood on ur mimic then switch to seppaku for you, easy no hit mellina

Panic roll is exactly why I find this game so much more difficult than DS games. Almost every enemy has a pause in attacks so if you go from DS to Elden Ring, it's a nightmare learning the timing.
This is easy mode until you fight Melania and you have no time to get a cast off while your mimic is constantly healing her

this is one version of easy mode, but the other is mohgwyn’s sacred spear. its weapon skill has giant aoe, insane damage, and it procs bleed. not to mention the weapon itself does good poise damage and pretty quick attacks. another ‘easy mode’ could be considered the ancient dragon’s lightning strike incantation on basically any large boss, but it’s in farum azula, so not really an option for most of the game. i’d also definitely say the black flame tornado aow, but again, it’s in farum azula.
On an unrelated note, I just absolutely put the WWE Raw smack down on Pontiff Sulyvahn for the first time ever in DS3. Took me quite a few attempts but I finally did it and I'm proud of myself.

Good looks bro. I've beat ds3 a couple times, but I've only ever actually beat pontiff with my little brothers help.
I remember first trying him solo for the first time. Shit was invigorating.
Beat that game 3 times and my favorite weapons are by far the winged knight twin axes. With enough strength you can decimate even the nameless king in under 5 minutes if you're lucky.
The biggest easy mode in these games is the community! Always someone down to smash a boss or give advice. The game gives us the tools to win!
I just beat the dual tree sentinels last night and it was kinda tough. I didn’t watch the stream (sadly) but if you beat them you get a dope Shield that shoots holy shit idk it’s weird. But you have to have it in his right hand that’s why I don’t use it. I could be wrong but idk.

Rest In Peace: Sword of Night and Flame 1.03
What I love about Elden Ring is its like FromSoft decided since their known for epic boss fights they decide to make it 70% boss fights. I'm loving this game
There’s 84 unique bosses in the game, truly insane
The Imp ashes which you get in the character creator also proc bleed, OP. It summons 2 imps, u can triple stack bleed.
There are warcrimes and then theres sword of night and flame.
This is the best gaming series ever
I love how From Software manages difficulty in their games. Instead of making an arbitrary difficulty option menu detached to the actual experience they imbed the type of difficult experience you want to have through combat systems and content. It is truly the way it should be
honestly I don't think they got it right at all. Not because it is too difficult or too easy, because it is inconsistent. There have been several times I have struggled with a zone, killed the boss and moved on to the next zone and then had basically no issue in an area where you have to go through a more difficult zone to get to it in the first place. The scaling is just not dialed in right at all. Some bosses likewise feel like absolute units while others are pushovers, sometimes within the same area. Some bosses I hit them for 700 and it chunks their health bar while other I tickle for 700 when they are two bosses in the same dungeon. It just feels...off.
Enemy posture is also inconsistent. I like me some colossal weapons and generally those take 3-4 jumping heavy attacks relatively close together to stagger bosses but sometimes they just. won't. stagger. The game really would have benifited from a posture indicator like sekiro since it is such a vital part of combat this time around. Feels awkward just guessing how close to staggered they are or how fast their posture is recovering when they are not giving you any openings to land a hit.
@@ShiningDarknes Some bosses have certain weapons types that they are weak to. This could be the root of you inconsistency problem.
@@callumrichard392 did you even read what I said? No dude that isn't the root of inconsistency the entire game is inconsistent when it comes to combat. But as to your comment, no dude literally the same boss will take different number of hits to stagger and my ass is aggressive as hell to the point of trading damage in order to keep the posture from recovering.
For that specifically the game needs some indicator that an enemy is near breaking. It can be subtle, slightly slower attacks, heavy breathing, a limp when in "ok imma just walk around a bit" mode, etc.
I kinda dont like how inconsistent the Caelid bosses are. You'll have a pushover that drops 91000 souls then one dungeon later youll find a boss 50x harder that gives 7100 souls. Or youll one shot a boss that couldnt even tickle you, and next boss one shots you.
Also I feel too OP almost. Like Im exploring too much but... whats the solution there? Die more? Dont explore? idk. I think they absolutely did the best they could but balancing a game like this seems too hard.
@@wr5488 there solution seems to be the most bullshit zone in the history of fromsoft games: Lake of Rot. Doesn't matter how good you are or how over-leveled it is just pain.
There is an easier mode to Elden Ring. It's called +10 Mimic Tear Ashes.
Idk who this 6'13 Chad Jesus is but I'm starting to under stand that John Wick is here to save the day
The rat that damages the health of the enemie is the easy mode.
I had the same reaction with Astel, What a beautiful design. I would love a DLC around more Void based mobs.
A lot of people don't know but if you mash L1 and R1 when you're grabbed you'll get out faster.
I can't buy the game for another week or 2 but it's SO HARD to not watch Charlie play Elden Ring cause he's just having SO MUCH FUN and it looks so amazing!!!
Mained this sword and moonveil katana. Two of the most overpowered weapons of the game lol. N&F for big bosses, Moonveil for small and agile bosses.
The real easy mode in this game is to use mimic tear ashes as a summon.
Mimic Tear with this sword is even more op lol
Woulda been real useful for that valiant gargoyle fight. Imma have to find that summon for the two bosses at once fights cause sometimes those get mad annoying.
1:10 he didn't, you just rolled when you should have started the kamehameha blast and his animation ended before yours. 3:06 It actually does have good damage as just a sword, but most of the power comes from upgrades and not as much from scaling so just build accordingly. Upgrade weapon whenever possible and build for more FP and less int/faith. Pop some buffs, stack talismans and Physick flask for it and use the double burger king face mask and 2 shot damn near everything. It is ridiculously OP and it's only real downside is that the L2+R1 art doesn't aim properly if you're even slightly higher or lower elevation than your enemy so you just have to position wisely on ground that isn't flat. Due to not needing to prioritize Int+Faith until the end you can easily build for 40 vigor and 20 Endurance for ~40 poise total from armor to not only poise through most attacks once or twice but have the effective health to survive doing so.
Elden ring is prob one of my favourite games. Love the vids, very entertaining.

1:41 Sounds like a good Friday night to me
Check out hoarfrost stomp ash of war if you wanna use an op move that doesn’t require as much fp or stat investment. Also comes out way faster and works on most weapons.
whats annoying about the godskin apostle is that it does its fire ball when you press the button to use flask it isnt just bad luck you can wait ages but as soon as you use flask thats when it does it
This game needs a boss rush mode where you fight all bosses (repeats included) in order of when from soft expects you to encounter them, you will have your flasks refilled and your items refilled if you have more in storeage but other than that you get no help at all during it unless you summon before the boss rush starts.
Not the repeats, I’d rather not fight 50 watch dogs and 25 crucible knights

Journalists : "Game needs an easy mode."
From Software: "You have to find easy mode."
What I love about the game is that you technically can choose your own difficulty fairly consistently in Elden Ring. Hardmode in elden ring is just beelining straight to Radahn, and easy mode is taking your time to beat all the areas and explore every inch of the world before moving on. I had an easier time fighting radahn even with a melee build but that's because I fought him after around 50 hours of game progression so he was exponentially easier.
Wait, you actually can just go fight Radahn in the first hour? I fucking knew it.
I guess you CAN make Godrick optional...
I have played this game for around 4 days now, I love it so much.
There is so much detail in the world, for a example I remember encountering a sleeping bear, a white wolf and a gray wolf on a rock watching their pack run around them…
It’s just wow, I have never seen this much detail since red dead 2 (it has less detail then red dead but still a lot to kinda be considered)
And the sense of scale in this open world is just ridiculous. I was really mesmerized when I had climbed to the rooftops of the academy.
Here I was on top of a massive castle that was built on top of a massive platue, I could barely see the ground, and yet looking out on the beautiful horizon other massive structures and landmarks in the distance and the almighty erd tree towering over EVERYTHING.
I seriously hope we are able to scale that tree. I would love to see the view from the top of the world

Sorcery is definitely not the way to go for a first time player, I feel like it's only very good to experienced players. Sure there are some bosses you'll ruin with magic regardless of skill level, but there are some that have really powerful counters to ranged builds, and a new player who has only been using ranged is not going to have a good time with that, while a more experienced mage will be able to adapt.
@@RaylaEclipse From my own experiences, I have a friend who is super casual in gaming and wanted to try Elden Ring. She has never played any soulsborne games and just knows it's hard. I recommended a sorcery and summoning build and the game does get a lot easier. She was able to beat Margit and Tree Sentinel after some exploring and grinding. She killed them after not too many tries (like 6-10) and continues to do pretty well. Sorcery and summons definitely make the game more accessible which I personally really like.
@@anthonyargueta131 Interesting, as a Soulsborne vet who normally is pure melee, I decided to go spellsword in Elden Ring for my first playthrough. Some bosses were made super trivial by it, while others I feel were made a lot harder. I do like that what bosses are the hardest for people is different based on your build, it definitely makes it feel like your build really matters.
@@RaylaEclipse The player will just watch a tutorial to cheese the boss with magic and consider himself good.
@@RaylaEclipse That's definitely true. I have a pretty diversed build so far so I can substitute weapons and such depending on the opponents resistances. But sorcerers can kill pretty much anything if they use summons and invest a bit into strength and dex for a weapon (like the moonveil)Sure, they may struggle with bosses but that's dark souks for ya
i found a streamer where he accidentally killed a late game boss because he got lost and got like 120k experience
