- Welcome to Elden Ring the latest release from fromsoft the creators of popular death screen simulators like Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark souls 3. Naturally when you mix hand crafted bosses and overpowered quest items into a game you make it so that the player gets them at a time when they are only normally powered. However as EldenRing Is an openworld rpg it means we can glitch and bug our way across the world map dodging bosses and farming runes in the best rune farm spots to get the best weapons in elden ring. Naturally today we are discovering that magic is very broken. Heck maybe elden ring is broken if you bug your way into stun locking a huge dragon boss with a deathstar who am I to judge. So its time to get overpowered at the very start of the game ignore all the best armor in elden wring and instead use the spiffing brit cursed elden wring guide on how to break the game!
If you want other potential overpowered builds then @BoomstickGaming has a great early build. @ymfah Has a VERY strong exploit build and @RTGame Just did something wrong and OP... So go give their elden ring videos a watch! There is also a new overpowered infinite health vampire build that has recently surfaced and is likely to help fix the temperamental god mode glitch that I showed off today!
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
So sit back relax and enjoy this elden ring gameplay where we get infinite runes, infinite health and infinite damage by turning our self into a mage death star that can 1 hit most bosses in seconds!

Best message I’ve come across “try pickle, but hole” directly behind a dead guy bent over a railing
Didn't expect comment...
i got the golden holy liquid the other day
You know what funny you being immortal is kinda of lore friendly
To be fair one shotting everything in a game where everything one shots you does actually sound balanced.
It's just mutually assured instant death at that point.
If everything one shots you then you should level up your vigor. It makes a huge difference. At 40 Vigor you have over twice your starting HP.
@@Reavenator I mean, then you’re just getting two-shot which isn’t much better since most enemies combo and chain hits anyways lol.
@@The1of1000 it takes a boss like 6 hits to kill me buddy. Level up vigor.
@@Reavenator a mage with 40 vigor would be one at level 180, and even then your getting 3-4 shot

I was thinking that too

I shouldn't love this as much as I do. Now I shall traverse the game with Kamehameha.
:-)
No you wont. FromSoft already nerfed the piss out of the spell a looooong time ago. like.. a week after launch. it now does garbage damage. (I beat the game using this combo I found organically.)
Went back to play post patch and realized the damage is now 1/3rd of what it used to be.
@@Nazgull2k1 Does the nerf of spells also work towards enemies that use them?
@@Nazgull2k1 you're joking right? In patch 1.03.3 Comet Azur still does insane amounts of damage. Get your timing right and you can kill bosses with it. Of course the movement type bosses like Maliketh, Malenia, etc. are almost impossible to hit with it.
Comet Azur still melts bosses to this day. We're currently on patch 1.09.
Idk what this person was on about but it wasn't accurate. Kamehameha is still awesome and don't let anyone spoil your fun because what you want to do isn't "optimal".
Spiff was in Caelid and didn't take advantage of the completely defenseless dragon that drops 70,000 runes by Fort Faroth upon death with a completely safe path to it.
Additionally, there's another Boulder spawn in Caelid that also kills enemies and gives lots of runes
I was using that spot to farm dragons. Then... I killed 1 too many, ruining the farming spot
Man, i really love that path. From my second character on I allways do that "trick".
Step 1 take the Front door ruins ash of war knife applyer.
Step 2 kill the guy at the top of Fort Haig for the bleed ash of war.
Step 3 go to caelid via church of marika tp and kill greyoll (if I can't apply the bleed on my weapon, I just would take the caelid site of grace, travel to the round table and buy a sword or a swagger).
Step 4 start the game at like level 40.
I recognize that I am adictet to it ^^
@@andrewirrvent337 killed one too many? What do you mean?
He definitely used the dragon he talked about it and ran in that direction and then magically had 78k runes?
@@riverpubby when you kill all the surrounding dragons near the big dragon the big one dies. That’s the intended way of killing it rather than using bleed
Spiffing Brit: literally immortal
Also Spiffing Brit: *Dies while immortal, becoming mortal*
This seems very on brand of spiff
Still destroys the game even when nerfed to mortality, though
Gotta admire the determination.
@@resileaf9501 Nope...he just fights slow enemies, no chance vs many bosses.
He can't kill the greatest foe in the game:
The instant death trigger volumes.
@@n1mand tbf, those bosses are literal tanks. They might move slow, but they could punch a hole on you like a paper against an anti-material rifle
Yeah I was wondering about that, how did he lose the glitched invincibility?
I need a collaboration between The Spiffing Brit and Let's Game It Out so bad. The amount of broken games they will leave in their wake will be glorious.
YES!
GitGud with his "Perfectly Balanced" theme.
Hey ive been looking dor you, got something im supposed to deliver, your hands onky
Dont forget DangerouslyFunny
*cries in developer*
For anyone following this guide, just get the Meteor Staff from the swamp. You can open a trapped chest in the dragon burnt ruins that will send you to the crystal tunnel. Then you simply run downwards and exit it, to go into the swamp. Ride your horse over to the ruins and then politely borrow both the Meteor staff and Rock Sling from the nice swamp inhabitants. You can't upgrade the Meteor Staff, but you don't need to, since it starts at S rank intelligence scaling. It also boosts Rock Sling's damage, which already hits like a truck. Have fun breaking the game guys!
Today, the mighty Spiffing Brit was impressed by a goat. So impressed, he stayed his hand and spared the goat. Spiffing Goat, you are now the chosen of all goats! May you roll happily and in a perfectly balanced way!
"True courage is about knowing not when to take a life but when to spare one." -Gandalf
He do be rolling
It is the GOAT of all goats
He shall be extra balanced for he will roll on for all eternity, the queen demands it.

ive been avoiding everything about this game so i can play it blind, but how the fuck can i miss a spiff video?
The game's been out for over 2 weeks now.
@@Miranox2 my hdd is full of games ihavent played yet and im partway into nioh 1. ill probably only get round to it when the dlc is out.
@@conan2096 u need to stop playing around and drop them bro!!! get to this first trust me
@@conan2096 Elden Ring definitely doesn't require a DLC, the base game is worth more than the €60 it costs. It's an insanely good game and I highly recommend you play it as soon as you can. I'd honestly be surprised if this doesn't get any game of the year award.
@@Miranox2 the ps5 has been "out for 16 months now" there's still a shitload of people who want and dont have one yet
"It's fantasy sadness" - great way to describe any souls-like game ever
aka Sword and Sorcery
I characterize the "lore" of Elden Ring as "dark fantasy word-salad", but "fantasy sadness" works perfectly well, too.
For anyone who wants to use this strat, keep playing and also complete Sellen's questline. It will boost your Azur comet damage even more!
plus getting his set and staff
what do you do after killing the boss (the cliff i mean since it kills you and resets immortality)
Lusat staff with azur crown and the right charms and buffs is absolutely busted in pve. Get a mimic tear and it’s braindead.
And dont upgrade the worst staff in the game like he did. If you are abusing the cerulean tear get lusats from Sellia town of sorcery, if you are going normal progression the staff upgrade path is Demi human queen -> academy glintstone -> lusats (optional as the increased FP can be an issue) -> Carian regal sceptre.
Also missing a number of key items for this cheese, namely magic scorpion charm and terra magika spell
"It's fantasy sadness" the most accurate description of souls-bourne lore
everyones sad and nasty, and only you, the saddest and nastiest of us all, can make everything less sad and nasty...or END IT ALL.
@@tomisabum THE LOATHSOME DUNG-EATER would take offense to that comment 😂
Agree 100%!, so sad, so dark!
Except blood born thats just a Tuesday in lovecraftian settings
Hilariously enough Spiff, you could have easily made this nastier, in Limgrave on the ledge above Augeel Lake to the north there is a Scarab that gives the Ash of War: Determination which boosts the damage of your next attack but is consumed when you hit... except the programmers screwed up so it also boosts Spells while not being consumed by them.
So what you do is you shove Determination onto a Dagger in your off-hand, activate it, then drink your Mixed Physick (pronouced Phys-ick) and let rip with Comet Azur for even more hilarity.
Fantastic find friend!
You can do more with this. There's a spell named Terra Magicus that boosts sorcery damage by 30%, and multipliers in Elden Ring are multiplicative. So if you stack Determination and Terra Magicus... Let's just say you rapidly approach war crime territory.
@@lokey57 There is also the moon spells that lower a foes magic resist for even further nuking.
@@lokey57 you can takr this an aditipnal step further, in the volcano manor you can get an improved determination that has a larger dmg increase. IIRC determination is 50%, and knights determination is 100%.
@@lokey57 The point wasn't just for more damage, it was "more damage at minimum time / resource expense", and seeing how you usually ride right past the Determination Scarab on the way to the Third Church of Merika...
Comet Azure is classified as primeval sorcery not stonedigger sorcery. It gets a 15% damage boost from Azur's Glintstone Crown which you can get from the same npc that drops the spell.
Two things, the boulder farm is easier with your horse and there's a second one time "farm" with a huge dragon just laying there and a few smaller dragons walking around, if you get a weapon with bleed you'll kill the big one in a minute, which kills all the smaller ones at the same time, netting you a huge amount of runes
yea the heck is with that? Did From actually put that there just for us to farm money? Is there even an actual boss fight with the huge drgn? I thought it was a static landscape piece at first.
@@kyltredragmire4939 It's clearly intended for you to kill the smaller dragons around him, as each killed takes away about 1/4 of his health. Only can be done once, gives you about 5 dragon hearts and a lot of runes though so it's worth it I think. If bleed works, that would be an easy way to cheese it I guess.
@@echomjp dont the babies respawn for 3.5k a pop? I havebt killed it yet because it doesnt fight back lol id feel kind of bad about putting him into extinction for sleeping lol
@@magicbufo4277 I don't know if they respawn, but there did seem to be more than the 4 I needed to kill to make him and all of the dragons around him die. They all are red-eyed variants that did a lot of damage, but also could only really walk I guess. As far as feeling bad goes - well, just gotta weigh if those dragon hearts are worth it I guess.
@@echomjp maybe on my second playthrough, currently im only doing melee and dont really use any dragon attacks or magic but who knows ive almost softcapped my main skills so i may play around with the dark arts some towards end game
Note to self: Do not drink when Spiff is designing characters. I lost it when I saw the glory that is Seymour Clevarge.
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!!
I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get all the time. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't hate me, dear rage
he certainly is from the lands between
it's everyone's favourite returning character from that one oblivion video! Seymore Clevarge!
Shoulda had jumpscare warning...
It actually took me about 10 minutes until the pun in the name actually clicked, heh.
14:20 “That’s one of the downsides of having an open world game, you can just use the open world to avoid the game.”
Joke’s on you, running past difficult enemies is the time-honored Soulsborne meta.

Hahaha, another favorite quote:
14:21 "That's one of the downsides of having an open world game, because you can just use the open world, to avoid the game" - The Spiffing Brit
But why would you do that, if there is no game, the open world stops to exist.
- Bruh, why would i go so deep...
With that logic you might also be able to say that every game is a open world game because you could just use the open-world to avoid playing that game
It is true for badly designed open world games like Elden Ring, not a problem with Halo Infinite, God of War, or Horizon just to name a few... Although Elden Ring couldn't do much, I don't think they should've stuck so strictly with open world given their game is all about fighting bosses which isn't true for these other games so it works better for them.
Nonsense
@@alphamineron I don't really see a design issue tbh... the bosses are still difficult enough even with the open world farming... and it provides a great distraction from dying to the bosses
Watching you do that to Margitt was *very* cathartic thank you! As always you are the most spiffing of Brits! Looking forward to more videos by you!
There is a story called Disk-World, in which there is a mage known as the world's most powerful mage. However, this mage never seemed to use his abilities until it is revealed that the only spell he knows is so strong it would end the universe, making him the most powerful mage, while also not being able to actually ever do magic. That is the vibes I get from spiff in this video.
"It's fantasy sadness. There you go that's literally this entire genre." That can't be right. *Checks the entire lore of demon's souls, bloodborne, dark souls 1, 2, and 3* Damn he's right it is just fantasy sadness.
Oh god... the lore, the sweet deep lore... it's been (gasp), GENERALIZED!
Oh god...
Hey Bloodborne is just average lovecraftian
Today several people learned about the Dark Fantasy subgenre.
@@ArcNine9Angel Imo it's a really good music video or fighting game intro. People get way too precious about how the lore in this game and its delivery is perfect. To me it reads like the background stories to fighting game characters. I do love it though.
Every dev ever: “Am I a joke to you?”
Spiff: “absolutely”
Perfectly balanced as all things should be.
I'm a dev and I'd love it if he broke one of my games.
Me hearing you describe half of my build which is even more powerful than just using Comet Azure makes me think all that Yorkshire Tea has finally started to make me perfectly balanced
Oh man I'd love to watch Spiff doing videos on cheesing various bosses, as there are still some truly glorious wheels of cheese left in the game.
"What's the point of infinite health if you can't even murder a penguin?", i dont think anyone ever said that sentence before Spiff😂😂😂
I always look forward to your next video spiff. They are enjoyable they make me laugh and I get great ideas from your exploits! They just work 👌
Oh yes I was gleefully waiting for your vid on this game, excellent as always! Cheers!
The fact that spiff left out the troubles of getting the tears warmed my heart because they are beautiful experiences
was just waiting to see how he was gonna go get it done with this build then he just cut it xD
I just killed Margit, I haven't found any tears did I miss any? I'm pretty much up to godrick
@@aeriagloris4211 to get the tears you need to go to calid and kill the boss underneathe the minor erdtree and for the other tear you need to find the ucerated tree spirit in the volcano area
Is he literally dyslexic though? It's PHYSICK, not PSYCHIC.
It’s so crazy how he can break the game without even figuring out how to sprint
Took me about 6 hours before I figured it out. You can sprint while crouched also and it doesn't make noise.
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer didn’t know if you knew but you can also crouch light attack to do a very fast attack!
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer I'm going to assume that you're joking because... that's the only thing that makes sense.
@@Unethical.Dodgson nope, thought the normal run and walk were the only movement speeds until I accidently held roll. Then I figured out you can use it to sprint climb and sprint sneak.
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer Took me 3 seconds... Took me a lot more time to figure out weird new mechanics like the way to 2 hand a weapon and other weird things, it's worse than ever.
It flipped my shit when he went to buy a memory stone right from the waypoint you only need to take a springstep jump from to get one for a free.
Love your videos!!!
A couple of things you could have done easier:
-You can get a memory stone directly in the tower next to the site of grace by the boulder, you just have to use the air current to jump with Torrent on the roof and then get inside
-There is a large dragon that yield something like 80 000 runes that you can kill very easily close to there, you just have to attack its tail with any bleeding weapon and you will kill it in about 2-3 minutes
You don't even need the stats for the weapon for the bleed to proc either. I did it with a Reduvia when I didn't have the stats in Arcane and he still bled frequently.
I actually did the dragon whilst recording but it got cut from the edit. I will turn it into a short and upload it midweek so others can enjoy the level 1 flail with bleed vs level 100 dragon
also, you can eat a golden fowl foot for extra runes just before the last proc. and it can get you from 70k all the way to just north of 90k.
You can just do the puzzle also to get in
That would explain the large amount of runes you somehow had
I like to imagine the invincibility glitch was found by some guy who just rage quit after dying and discovered, "huh, now I'm immortal"
It is what actually happened. The post was on Reddit. The glitch/bug still exists and it has been ~2 weeks since it was discovered. I guess From Soft knows that you will drop off the ledge and left it for now. So what if enemies cannot kill you? Gravity can...
@@info0 I found it by accident, I kept resetting the starting boss fight cause I wanted the swords, I accidentally forgot to restart and instead hit continue. Made me immortal yet it wore off for me as soon as I left the tutorial area.
@@info0 Gravity has always been the hardest boss in Souls games.
It doesn’t work on PS5 :(
I backed out the game just as the screen went to black and it Didn’t work. Did I do something wrong?
@@CyberRyder I think you can't do this on PS5 because it hasn't a 'kill program' command/key combination. With "alt-F4" combination you end the game-program 'unsafely' so that's why the glitch. With PS5 all commands are safe, if I'm right?
But be delighted, your gameset is better optimized and works much better than PC-version :)
Your vids are always good for loads of laughs! TY!
Love the video Spiff cant wait to see how you break this game in the future
the worst part is, you can make that spell even stronger with another spell called "terra magicus", a better staff than the one you used called "Lusat's glintstone staff", and a nice pointy hat called "azur's glintstone crown" that increases azur spell damage.
So not only did he plagiarize iron pineapple, he did it poorly.
Don't forget Knights Resolve, which affects spells as well.
Add jellyfish shield to it as well
Add Radagon talisman to increase the speed of casting spells
I read somewhere that terra magicus doesn’t stack with Lusats damage buff
spiff: "this immortality will last about 5 minutes"
also spiff, 7 minutes later: *has slapped exactly one scrub on the highroad*
spiff, again, after 2 minutes more: "I got yeeted off the map and I can now be killed"
I can't believe I had to edit the last one in
That's why they say, "the greatest enemy in a soulsborne game is gravity".
It is a long time since i watched a Spliffing Brit Broken Videogames Show! I am Stoked to see what you came up whit! Cheers!
1:30 actually you made a deep one from the mythos of HP Lovecraft. Good on ya mate
Goat just beyblading away from the perfect balancing it knows is going to happen soon is quite the mood.
Magic is overpowered, but have you considered 40 strength 40 endurance 25 vigor and using nothing but comically oversized weapons?
Honestly, that was how I played the game for two playthroughs and it's extremely underpowered. Compared to literally any other character builds anyway.
Most of the more difficult bosses move fast and have very little cooldowns to get hits in. This puts colossal weapons at a large disadvantage and quicker weapons hit just as hard so you don't even see a damage increase. Lighter weapons also get access to better weapon arts that give movement abilities that are invaluable for fights like Malenia.
The only thing you can really do with colossal weapons is constant hit and run tactics with a jumping attack. But it ends up being more dangerous and doing less damage than a bleed katana with a teleporting weapon art.
I only persisted with colossal weapons because I'm stubborn and duel wielding colossal swords is badass.
@@pagatryx5451 don't care, funny big sword
@@pagatryx5451 you can get a whetstone, put the bloodhound step on your big sword using the heavy option so it does more damage based on your STR stat, dash around the enemy doing heavy smacks to their back while they are recovering from their big swing
I went through the game with guts and grafted but malenia made me switch to bleed :((((
Envoy's Longhorn is the best big weapon, the ultimate dootstick
I like how the video ends when he makes it to the castle gate with the archers lol
Watching this 2 years later, great vid, criminal you didnt make that much elden ring content
"If you can't defeat your enemy, the most logical way to defeat them is to just die to them" - Dr. Strange's tried and tested method.
for easy runes you can also use a weapon with bleed damage, near the first grace when you enter the open world go down the beach and on it's end you will find a gold pickled fowl foot on a corpse. This item will increase runes gained by 30% for a short time.
After that go through the same portal that spiff went through but this time cross the bridge with the dragon but ignore him, continue the path until you see a really big white dragon, in fact so big it can't move and you can poke it until the dragon dies. The dragon has lots of health but bleed does % damage this will speed up the process considerable. Use your gold pickled fowl foot just before the dragon dies and it's an easy ~96k runes.
New to the chanel, this is the first video... and first time a laugh while watching a video about gameplay/tips/tutorial/curiosities ... Sir, you got my sub
The way you just obliterated Margit like that was absolutely amazing.
As a mage player, I am perfectly aware of how utterly broken magic is in this game and will, therefore, continue to abuse it endlessly. Thank you very much.

@@KrunoslavSaho I don't hold it against him. Fextra had it listed as "potentially" improving the damage on it (while also saying that it may not). That being said after we pointed it out to Fextra that it didn't - He has since removed it from the Digger's Staff page.
even better...:3
@@GenesicShinZyraelKai You mean that Fextra (or whomever runs his Wiki) has updated Digger's Staff's entry page?

I'm beginning to realize that he isn't saying the game is broken, he is declaring that he has found the true way to play.
Game Journalists: "eLdEn rInG nEeDs aN eAsY mOdE"
Spiff: "So anyway, I started blasting."
I am bad at videogames, but if I ever buy Elden Ring on my ps4 (standard cus no stores have pro in stock for some reason) I will drill the skills into my head. Yes, I already bought the drill
I honestly love hunting the bayblade goats for the thin beast bones. Helps me with making the rot arrows. Which, no matter your resistance, if you get hit by the crimson rot effect, does the same amount consistantly to you based on health and ticks at a faster rate than regular poison. Also, suprised you didnt know about the spot down at the bottom of the Caelid that you can basically get 5k runes by watching a fight between some knights and giant doggo t-rex things
in all fairness, the boulder pry works faster as it's just a trigger rather than a rest at a grace
Yeah, but then you gotta be in Caelid.
Or the giant dragon that can be bled to death and net you 90 thousand runes or more
@@zigmus00A which dragon is that? I have found 3 named ones (one being the same one that Spiff killed), a bunch of the children and then one that is anchored to the ground that dies with 5 red-eyed child dragons

Comet Azur can get so much more damage with a bit more effort. Also Meteorite staff is great for no investment, and all you have to do is go pick it up in the swamp in Caelid.
Agreed. I just tested comet azur with +2 diggers staff (sorcery scaling 174) vs +1 glintstone staff (scaling 177) and confirmed that azure does not count as a stone diggers sorcery. I was still getting less output with the diggers despite the minimal scaling difference; if there was a boost to azur, it would have come out on top using the diggers staff. Meteorite staff is much easier and stronger to obtain in early game
It's better to get the staff that boosts azure sorcery. Forgot the name of it cause I'm a monke strength player 🤣
Hey Spiff! Saw an episode about you on the Lotus Eaters channel and this video was recommended below it. Gotta love it!
5:05 Spiff the problem with penguins isn't murdering just one, it's not murdering half a pack with your cup of tea
There are tons of exploits to get overpowered easy but I'll list a few here. that short bridge where you farm bouldy at nighttime a night Calvery will spawn, simply run up the poison trapped hill and MAKE SURE IT FOLLOWS YOU, the boss will die to the poison, it will lose about 5% HP and then immediately die granting you 45k runes.
Move onward to fort farroth there will be a huge dragon that doesn't move, simply get a bleed weapon and wack it until it dies netting you 75k runes or 100k with a gold fowl foot.
after beating godrick you can do whitemask quest which is super easy then get early access to a very late game zone with another boss (mohg) that you can cheese for an easy 600k runes with rune boosting items, in the same area you can farm a chicken with a bow for easy 10k runes every ten seconds.
there are tons of videos on how to achieve these so you can easily find out how to do them.
How do you get the night cavalry to instantly die? I tried it and it just sat there slowly ticking down HP and eventually it stopped being poisoned
@@Xhawk777 .no idea, in the video it just dies
please send links
@@Xhawk777 You have to run it all the way up the hill through a good amount of the poison clouds. He can be annoying, took me several tries to get it.
@@lordhughmungus hmm, I see. For me it teleported back to the bridge after going a little ways up the hill, but I’ll try it again. Thanks for the help
Everyone else: *Does normal things*
Spiff: shoot the shooty wand
Seymour Clevage bro I’m subbing to your page for that alone. Very smooth.
I finally managed to get the flask items for infinite FP. I uploaded a boss fight to my channel and tagged you; couldn't figure how to video response. Thanks for the video!
The meteorite staff might be a good pick. It's got S scaling by default but can't be upgraded
Lusats or Azur eventually beat it, but it can help cheese the early game and is strong until you get an endgame staff.
@@firebat36 lusats gets better at around +7 and it needs somber smithing stones. So meteorite is BIS for a long time. Btw you can dual wield staffs to get both buffs. So diggers staff in offhand plus meteorite/lusat in mainhand is even more OP XD
@@dominikvondran9713 Except Comet Azur isn't a Stonedigger sorcery. Always test things, don't believe the wiki.
@@Sljm8D what’s it classified as ?
@@clxoid3439 It's Azur's primeval sorcery, boosted by Azur's helmet.
Never would I have seen the day where I discovered something OP before the spiffing brit. And it can get even more powerful with A skill called Knights resolve. Another way to level up is to use a save file manager and a friend.
You think he place for midnight release of games so we can speed around them and find their exploits.
To be fair, he recorded this when we likely didn't even know of the uber cheese of Determination/Knights resolve and Terra Magicus.
you can swap KR for determination which is found at the star of the game.
You didn't... He literally even explained to that in the description
Mightily amusing, old boy - jolly good show! Cracked me up every time you said Seymour Cleavage 🤣🤣
map of Macedonia, got me good xD also awesome stuff
"The only thing that had me worried about the game was whether they’d be able to make the open world feel varied and interesting where it seems so many open world games fail to do this. I’m super glad to hear they knocked it out of the park in that respect. Never doubt FromSoftware, they are masters of their craft.

It causes me physical pain that he didn't pick up the 80,000 runes that he dropped after killing that dragon.
Did you no one else notice that he got the achievement for being the first boss in the game which means this is the first time playing
I’ve been waiting for this
Brilliant as always, Spiff!
You make everything fun.
I love open worlds and there's always something fun to break the game with.
I'm amazed at all the people that appear in some random stock images in various CZcams videos. Like the old guy that became the meme/avatar of the internet historian.
You played as Paul from mitten squad what a nice collab
Wow, you making these bosses look like butter
Trust me he barely scratched the surface. There’s ways to make this even stronger.
@@65-bitgamer It has its limits though. The late game hyper mobile bosses this dont work against.
Elden ring is like the most hardest lord of the rings game I've ever played
Sorta depends how you play and what you use. Also depends on how stubborn you are, game can be agonizing if you refuse to change tactics... which I'm guilty of.
@@pieterdonia439 haha
I’m glad you showed a pic of yourself @ 00:54
There's no way they didnt want you to farm runes in this game.
Theres a much superior farming spot, literally ON a site of grace, not next to it.
In mohgwyn palace, shoot an arrow at a big bird all the way across and it jumps off a cliff for a modest 11K runes... this whole process takes approximately 7 seconds to complete.......
Or additionally once you’ve completed the game once, you get the ‘Sacred Relic Sword’ (I think it’s called that), which kills all of the caelid people at once, and if you use a golden fowl foot and the golden beetle talisman, they give you extra money, and you can make around 120k per swing of the sword 😜
@@Pieces93 is there a video tutorial for that? Thats a very vague description of how to do it
@@J.R.Swish1 - let me find a vid link for ya ☺️
@@Pieces93 it's the sacred relic sword, the last bosses weapon and it's does indeed rake in the runes, without any exp items it's like 40-50k runes per 4 second run
@@thatotherdan9984 - yah that’s the one, I’m on NG+3 now and with the right rune boosting items, I can get around 120k-140k, which is probs about right for NG+3
for the rune grinding with the boulder, if you get the amulet that gives 20% extra experience it makes it so better. If i recall its called the gold scarab amulet.
Gotta do that trick where you use Determination or, Brave knights Determination on an Offhand dagger, and then use a spell, It ups spell damage by... almost double if not triple sometimes.
"Oh my goodness, he's a beyblade!" Lol, choked on my coffee on that one.
I watch all your content, but I especially love your eldin ring content and would love if you made more as this is a game that is very broken. I know that a channel like yours takes a lot of effort to run. Thank you
Theres a full set of clothes that goes with that spell along with another 2 spells that buff all your spells. And a sword that does a mini and cheap version of comet azur so you can cheese literally all the enemies and not just bosses. Oh, and also rune duplication to immediately get to level 200+
I was JUST wondering earlier if you were going to do this game, I'm so glad you did!
i still remember when you brought the watermark back, cant believe u ever went without it
19:27 for an even better staff, you can go in Gaelid and, in the lake of rot zone, find the Gravity staff, wich can't be upgraded but has an excellent S scaling in int.
But his upgraded one had higher sorcery buff isnt that all that counts for damage?
It’s called the Meteorite Staff, and yes it boosts gravity spells like rock sling :)
Or just walk like 20ft and grab meteor staff....
Ah, you meant rhe meteor staff. My bad
I wish you had gone into some pvp invasions with the glass cannon. I feel this would have been very entertaining!
After you go through the teleporter in the shrubbery, The enemies on the road give you 1000 runes each, theres a point of grace just down the hill and there are about 10 or 11 of them in that small area. (They will pretty much oneshot you normally... but they stunlock easily and if you are immortal you can get infinitely more runes just farming them than you get with the boulder. Also more fun lol.)
Also if you follow the road down along the bridge and past the dragon (you can just ride past if you're quick) and then go down the hill to the minor erd tree, go around the tree to the left and youll find a jump pad thingy, which brings you to a spot behind a massive dragon.... who won't move an inch... even if you hit it with everything you have. So If you go beat it up for a while and then use one of the golden chicken foot item boost thingys before it dies. It gives you about 90k runes.
It also kills the three dragons that surround it when it dies.
This was my go to strat on my Mage xD I play multiple different Characters at once and after going at it with a couple of melee characters, a Cleric and/or Paladin a Dragon worshipper and others it's nice to just sit back, walk into the bossroom and destroy basically everything and anything that's behind that fogwall :D
The opening scene was just amazing
The tower by the grace where you farmed the boulder has a memory stone in it, no need to buy one. Just jump inside through the balcony on the backside using the updraft and go to the top.
