    Update on Discovery 5 regarding rune acquisition - Silver Skulls and Golden Eyes are definitely there during the day as well. That said, they're FAR more difficult to see during the day, so there is still a slight night advantage there

    Extra little tip: When you kill and enemy, the rune trail leading to your character can be yellow or white, if white then that means the enemy dropped an item. Great knowledge for hit and run attacks/ tactics

    One item I HIGHLY recommend getting early on is the Beast Repellent Torch, this item can be found East in Caelid at the Isolated Merchant's Shack (DRAGONBARROW) for 1500 runes, whilst held, beasts will not attack unless attacked first, this excludes some beasts such as bats/birds/crabs, red eyed beasts, or beast bosses, but is extremely useful around wolves or dogs, it doesn't even need to be lit in your hand to take effect, you can two hand your weapon or have it on your back whilst mounted and it still works.

      But at long last after all the usual methods failed, I got it working randomly
      So pumped for this weekend, this is the most hyped I've been for a soulsborne in a decade, even more than BB and sek.

    I actually love how they hide important, almost essential items for you to discover.
    Not only does it put a big emphasis on actually exploring the world, but it gives you actual useful rewards for doing so, things that affect how you play the game, and it’s something I’ve always felt every other open world game has struggled with (for as much as I love it, this was my biggest pet pieve with BotW).

    • @zacharyjackson1829
      @zacharyjackson1829 2 роки тому +29

      i mean BoTW certainly did have this to some extent. for example you could go the entire game without ever touching the master sword or the shield.
      While i do like games that encourage exploration it can also be seen as a very big downside. if you accidentally pass over something that is easy to miss you could very well be dooming yourself to having huge disadvantages later.
      comes down to whether you see this as "rewarding" your players or "punishing" your players
      again don't mistake my words as a harsh critique of the game. if anything I love it when artists of all kinds don't treat their audiences like idiots but instead free thinkers who might be able to see the artist's vision without being spoon-fed

    • @CrossfacePanda
      @CrossfacePanda 2 роки тому +14

      @@zacharyjackson1829 With BotW, I felt that while the exploration and traversal itself felt very good, it never felt very rewarding. Don’t get me wrong, the sights in and of itself is a reward for sure, but I wanted the exploration to always be rewarded with unique gameplay, which it rarely was.
      That could’ve been unique enemies (both regular and bosses) hidden away in certain parts of the world, and with unique weapons and items as reward that changes how you play the game. Yeah, there were some unique weapons/gear here and there, but they never really played significantly different than the regular weapons in the game. And I would’ve wanted secret, hidden away items (be it locked behind puzzles or bosses) that changed how you traversed and interacted with the world. Like, say for example some spiked boots that allowed you to climb up horizontal surfaces, or an item that allow you to climb during rain without slipping, or maybe some gear that gives you a double jump. Things that you’d be genuinely excited to find as a reward for exploring, yet can finish the game without even if you never find them.
      This is where Elden Ring succeeds to me. Everything I’ve found so far has felt like a genuine reward for exploring, and have had some sort of impact on how I play and experience the game. And every skill check in the form of an enemy or puzzle has rewarded me with something that made the effort of overcoming it feel worth it. To me, this is the standard I wished BotW lived up to when I first played it (and what I’ve always wanted all open world games to live up to).
      BotW still has the more enjoyable traversal to me, though. FromSoft platforming has its charm in how you have to carefully negotiate your character where you want them go (and again, they’ve always been good at rewarding you for successfully doing so), but BotW is just a more responsive and enjoyable experience when it comes to that. I also think it has the best and most meaningful interactability with the environment of any open world game, it’s really just the reward for doing so that left me wanting.

    you guyz can get good talisman that increase hp stamina and mind if you use stonesword key at the beginning of the game before you go out to the open world. Once you unlock it, you go down the path and you discover a bridge that have right and left hole. At the beginning of the bridge, if you look closely down the hole, you can drop down to the area. And then, if you follow the path at that area, you find a church that have the talisman but watch out for two similar enemies like the 1st boss that you encounter before you die and spawn at the 1st cave. if you dont want to fight them just drop down at the bridge at the church because the bottom will not kill you.

      I copy paste a thepry thwt connects all souls games:
      ds3 and bloodborne are narratively completely distinct games, but bloodborne is clearly a cultural evolution of the society and religions present in the souls ... which we can call a spiritual sequel (in a game where souls are the protagonist eh).
      the old blood and the healing blood are totally based on the blood of farron and the blood of the dark soul (because bloodborne was written on the cut content of ds1, in particular it delves into nahr alma and velka).
      In addition, there are low reliefs identical in the chalice doungeons to those of the lost izalith, the Pthumerians wield the dragon sword (same model of ds1), they are able to use arcane magic, pyromancy, electricity and martyr lugarius (a Pthumerian) releases a power identical to gael (thanks to the blood) ... martyr wielding a demon soul kris blade (which has a similar design to dragon swords and soulsbrandts).
      Furthermore, the watchdog of the old lords is clearly a sulyvhan beast of ds3 and the ash armor bone set describes a society very similar to that of ds3 (with similar religions and rituals, namely that of burning oneself and becoming beings with ashy blood). To be considered then how the elder (or giant) grhus are identical to the clearic beast thanks to the blood of farron and that laurence (the cleric beast) is a werewolf corrupted by darkness (and with ape-like movements). It is no coincidence that the nimble shadows of ds2 are werewolves with a symbol on their head (a heart representing a distorted form of the caudecus) identical to that of the gates in yahrnam and connected to the goddess nahr alma. In addition, the beast pearl, once a being a hand, has become a dark beast due to the experiments carried out by laurance and the large intake of blood, in the search for arcane powers used by the Pthumerians (in this case the power of thunder). Ah, then it is clear that in ashes of ariandel and in ringed city, miazaky has given us the last clue to close the circle ... first of all the painter of ashes of ariandel paints a dark and gentle cold place inside a painting corrupt destined to burn, but in the dlc we see rivers (literally) of blood and a culture based on blood, but in particular the cathedral of ariandel is burning like the hunters dream.
      in the souls every living being was once hollow, both the eternal dragons (because saturated with souls and crystallized / petrified in time), and the souls starved, being immortal, but without reason, in the eternal search for souls ...
      So it is entirely plausible that dark souls is a spiritual sequel based on the bad ending of demon, in which everything is submerged by the fog and the old one (being a warehouse of souls destined to swell and incorporate the whole world) becomes the foundation of the next world, born from the soul and the ashes of the previous one (i.e. the big trees are the old one).
      Instead elden ring was written by martin as a direct sequel to the souls, a world based on the disintegration seen in the finale of ds3, born of darkness and ashes, in which the knowledge of the power of the soul is once again preserved ... so to say that elden ring is the union of all the previous souls, it is both in terms of lore and gameplay.
      Finally, hunters have always been considered the last wheel of the chariot in souls, tools to satisfy the needs of the powerful by any means ... it is no coincidence that the hunters dream is established in bloodborne, creating a society in which the hunters can "truly" decide their own destiny, but in fact the will of some great beings is followed, who are not other human beings separated from the body part, able to travel on multiple planes of existence because they are made of light (this is evident with déraciné, a game linked to bloodborne by miyazaki's own admission).
      Elden ring follows exactly the same rules, a world born from the disegragation seen in ringed city with an evolution of the soul of dark souls (where archtrees ereditated the power of first flame)

    This game is way, WAY too complicated. Imagine trying to enjoy it without youtube? Don't know about you all, but I'd miss 3/4 of everything

    Successful people don't become that way overnight What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time.

    On a second speedrun attempt, I think what triggers the invitation to Roundtable is simply interacting with Margit (or any major bosses maybe), just seeing his cutscene.

    Definitely go talk to Rodericka at Stormhill Shack early, exhaust her dialoge, and she will give you a Spirite Jellyfish Summon.

    An interesting thing I’ve seen with all massive type bosses like the flying dragon Agheel is that they all take critical damage to their head, which exploiting might also make staggering them easier.
