They'll start to pick up, and you'll start finding some fucked up ones where bosses will jump you two at a time, and one that has a looping hallway effect, where you have to play extremely close attention to the layout in order to beat it. Keep at it.

      To be fair, I think it's odd to place the Watchdogs as such an early beginner boss. They're rather unorthodox for their jumpy, Super Nintendo-style movements, so it does seem like a weird boss to throw at beginners when they're just learning to read enemies. Could easily see someone consider the Watchdogs to be much harder than the other beginner bosses.

    @reyrapids63 Před 3 měsíci +34

    The "ignore till level 40" is just a suggestion, not a hard and fast rule. Especially since some really fun weapons have stat requirements. You can always re-spec later so don't worry. (More HP means more room for mistakes, which is helpful, but endurance means more stamina and the ability to wear better armor. Dex and Strength mean more damage and access to better weapons, Mind means more FP, which means more uses of your skills like 'Unseath' and let's you summon better Spirits. Faith, Arcane and Intelligence are for magic builds, but Arcane makes enemies drop more loot. So pretty much no level ups are wasted)
    Some of the catacombs and dungeons are pretty similar, but most are worth exploring for the good weapons and upgrade materials. If they get boring you are 100% allowed to skip them or save them for later.

  • @taida8511
    @taida8511 Před 3 měsíci +181

    The fact that both catacombs you've visited had a burial watchdog at the end is just coincidence and doesn't mean that every one has one of them at the end.
    Most catacombs feature other bosses. Those other bosses may not be completely unique, but there is quite a big variety.
    There are a few more watchdog fights as well, but they are always slight variations of the basic watchdog. Some even have unique attacks.
    I'm just telling you this, so you don't get discouraged to wander into more catacombs because while not as amazing as some of the other parts the game has to offer, most of them are much more unique than the two you discovered. This watchdog gank in particular is actually one of the more unfair fights in the game, so don't worry about the rest being the same.

I REALLY hope when the DLC comes out that they retweak the damage values, you should not get 2-shot by standard enemies while wearing decent armor with 40+ vigor.

    Here’s a little quality-of-life tip:
    When you click the Options/Menu button, you can look to the right of the screen and find 6 inventory slots, with 4 of them having a directional button assigned to them.
    If you equip an item to these slots, then by holding Triangle/Y and clicking the appropriate directional button, you can use that item without fiddling with any menus.
    It’s especially convenient for the horse since you’ll be going on and off of it very often, so having a dedicated bind is game-changing.

    • @Greywander87
      @Greywander87 Před 3 měsíci +9

      Some more tips:
      - You can hold down on the d-pad for a couple seconds to go back to the first item on your hotbar without needing to cycle through. Avoids accidentally cycling past it.
      - I always put my red flask in the first hotbar slot. Blue flask goes on the Y + left quick slot. This way I have access to both flasks without needing to cycle through my hotbar.
      - I put the horse in Y + down. Favorite spirit ash goes in Y + right. The mixed physick David was wondering about goes in Y + up.
      - I put the lantern and telescope in the fifth and sixth quick slots, which don't map to any buttons so you have to open your menu to access them. For some reason, I prefer this to putting them on my hotbar. Probably because I kept cycling past the item I wanted to use and had to cycle back around again.

  • @neiroxxkisho2214
    @neiroxxkisho2214 Před 3 měsíci +56

    advice, read the description of items more often, for example, a turtle shield passively behind your back increases the speed of stamina recovery, and there is also a lot of lore in the item descriptions if you are interested in it, and the game has night bosses that appear only at night, but it’s quite difficult to randomly stumble upon them

  • @dr.philfanfiction6778

    Some more tips:
    You can upgrade your weapons before lvl 40 but be careful of using smithing stones above 5th tier because they get really rare even in late game.
    The game does not have quest markers or logs so either write down the quest giver’s name and the location they want you to visit or look up the quest guide for steps. There are many locations and bosses that are easy to miss if you don’t carefully listen to the quest giver.
    Your weapon the katana does bleed buildup damage. When attacking with such a weapon you fill the enemies bleed bar. When full you automatically deal 10% of their max hp. Bleed buildup gets boosted with higher level weapons and a higher arcane stat, but unless you plan on doing a full katana build you shouldn’t worry about leveling anything other than vigor just yet.
    Other common buildups consist of poison, rot, frost and fire damage each having different effects and are resisted by certain enemies.
    Most common builds are: Dex katana build who benefit from fast combo attacks often with statuses like bleed. Strength poise builds using heavy weapons and heavy attacks to deal a lot of damage and break stances but attacks are slow. Intelligence magic builds. Often ranged attacks (probably the easiest and in my humble opinion are more fun with your second playthrough )
    Of course there are many more builds and you don’t have to do what someone else tells you to do. I personally used a katana for my first playthrough but I’m also having fun changing my build up in new game +. Maybe try some different weapons on lower enemies and see what fits you best
    Some further combat tips: heavy jump-attacking is a great way to deal lots of damage and is best used for quickly closing distance for a single punishing attack on a enemy.
    2nd never have your back turned to a group of enemies
    3rd do not underestimate talismans, talismans are some of the biggest damage boosters in the game, especially when you find the right one.
    4th in your inventory you’ll see the scaling of your weapons with letters from D to S rank this shows you what stats are best upgraded dor a certain weapon, scaling levels also get better when the weapon is a higher level (be aware that scaling isn’t always consistent)
    5th you usually only respawn at a site of grace however with certain bosses like the Erd tree avatar there is a stake of Marika nearby indicated by an icon in you top left. If you die near a stake you can instead choose to respawn there, but you cannot level up or skip the time at these places.
    General tips:
    The wind beams you find across the land can be used to power jump with torrent allowing you to scale cliff walls, but they also negate all fall damage if you jump onto them from a high ledge(when on horse only)
    Pressing the “roll/dodge” button while on torrent allows you to sprint dodge which can be great when running towards giant archers or artillery.
    The map can tell you many this for example an orange circle/smudge indicates a mineshaft dungeon or if you haven’t discovered the map for a certain area yet you can see where the map part is located by looking for an obelisk symbol on the grayed out map. You can also see churches on the map (unique building layout) always go to the churches to get another sacred tear
    I am aware that this might be a lot and it is fine if you choose to ignore it. At the end of the day you should play how you like and figuring stuff out is half the fun. Anyway keep up the great content I hope to see more of it.

    A physick is a flask you get (I forget where) where you can combine effects like how you have, you could basically make it an extra heal, make it into something that buffs certain stats and attributes, or both. Also, when you “duplicate a remembrance”, when you defeat major bosses you get items called remembrances, which can be exchanged for armour or weapons the boss used, or spells depending on the remembrance. There’s usually 2 options and you can only choose one, or you bring it to the turtle thing with the castle on it and make a second one

    - You can equip the spectral steed whistle in the pouch (Start button -> top right corner). It's then activated by holding down triangle or Y and then pressing in the direction with the D-pad. Easier than having it in the Quick Item menu, imo
    - You can hop off from torrent by pressing LS/L3, than you don't have to switch to the whistle in the quick menu. Easy
    - These small black holes with an orange border that you can see on the map are mines. You can find upgrade materials for your weapons there
    - And yeah, keep the catacombs in. The layout changes every time, with new mechanics, labyrinths, different enemys/bosses etc.
    I'll keep watching and I'm looking forward for more Elden Ring content. Greetings from Germany :)

    Hey ! Just leaving this for the algo, but also :
    -great editing, very dynamic and compliments your humor
    -catacombs can be kinda samey but many are very different or introduce new mechanics, and most have pretty good rewards so cutting it down to the interesting parts may be best
    -for the success, congrats on your channel picking up speed ! we're all in for the Elden Ring playthrough, so you're getting the elden ring community in ! be aware tho, it's a good way to up your channel but don't be trapped in one type of content because of the audience if you don't feel like it, that's a surefire way to burnout.
    Good luck to you !

    attack damage hierarchy from most damage to least :
    special attack (mana required )
    heavy attack
    jump attack light + heavy ( + poise damage : each ennemy has a hidden poise meter , once it breaks you they fall to their knees and you get a critical attack chance )
    running attack light + heavy
    light attack
    also , you're a samurai , that means you do bleed damage , to increase the amount of bleed damage you need to put points into arcane , increasing it also allows you to later use bleed incantations and some of those come in very handy

    • @houssemayadi6992
      @houssemayadi6992 Před 3 měsíci +2

      also , evry ruin on the map has an underground entrance , if you cant find it it means its hidden behind a secret illusionary ground , you have to either roll on it or hit it with the sword , look it up on youtube to know what to look for , as well as an example of an illusionary wall ! sometimes entire massive areas hide behind them and you wouldnt know

    24:00 All I've gotta say is, holy hell that was *_CLEAN_*
    I didn't find this area until after I'd hit level 50 and that Misbegotten smoked me a dozen times before I beat it.
    I was using the Tentacool spirit ash at the time (I hadn't used the wolves in ages by that point), and a poisonous jellyfish just wasn't good at either DPS or Tanking, and I was _also_ caught up in my own BS trying to fight a spastic lion-monkey with a crossbow.
    Congrats on taking down a pretty difficult boss with minimal fuss!
    FromSoft bosses are the epitome of "easy first try, impossible second try." If you get too panicked or in your own head, you start backpedalling, and you can't beat a boss by dodging alone. You kept cool (which isn't the same as calm, lmao), stayed focused, and got the win easy. Keep up the good work!

    Definitely keep the caves and catacombs in the video, those are fun to watch, mostly because they have the best traps. Tips if you need: if you feel like there should be a grace around you, keep looking there probably is. Look at every single weapon you get in case you want to use it. You will be able to change your stats somewhat soon so dont feel like you just have to level HP. Read more descriptions.
    Also you beating these bosses first try is actually impressive as hell, most people struggle

    Awesome series, glad to see a new player pick up the game and demolish some of the early game mini bosses. Use your Ash of War often brother, you can swap and mix around more that you find around the world that do a wide range of abilities from buffs to weapon skills. (And later on you can swap around weapon affinities too, but you'll figure out about that later. Lol) Keep up the good work!

    Love your playthrough, its a lot of fun to watch and I'm looking forward to the future episodes.
    I'd just like to say about the ashes that they often turn the game into easy mode. They basically draw all the aggression of bosses in and allow you to attack relatively uninterrupted.
    While there's nothing wrong with using them I would advise you to try out the boss without them at first and then judge for yourself, if you actually need them to beat the boss. I heavily relied on summons in my first play through and only realized in my second play through on how much fun I missed out on with certain bosses by not using them.

    Vigor might be important, but don’t focus purely on it. Better weapons require higher stats, so outside of Vigor (HP), Mind (FP/magic), and Endurance (Stamina and carry capacity), build one or two stats up so you can deal a bit more damage. For samurai, the dexterity is already high, so I’d focus on that. You can check which stat a weapon scales with by looking at some of the intimidating numbers on the right side of the screen.
    Katanas and spears are typically dex weapons, but some of my favorites (Vyke’s War Spear or the Dragonscale Blade) also scale with faith.
    I wouldn’t put stat points into more than two weapon scaling stats unless you need to for a weapon requirement. Put a few into endurance and mind since endurance lets you carry heavier items and mind gets your FP (mana) up. Don’t make it as high as vigor, though, since that’s far more important. For mind and endurance, you should probably stop at around 20.
    Here’s some more useful tips:
    Sorceries and Incantations are different things. Sellen was selling sorceries, which scale with intelligence and require a staff. Incantations require a seal, and mainly scale with faith.
    You can’t cast incantations with a staff, and you can’t cast sorceries with a seal.
    My personal favorite build is dex/fai, but you should experiment and find cool weapons you want to build over.
    Arcane, if you’re curious, scales weapons with status effects. Bleed, for example, does a large portion of the enemy’s health every few hits. It’s on your Uchigatana, and many dex weapons have bleed already.

    There's nothing that feels like playing a souls game for the first time, so for us that have already beaten it we have to live vicariously through you. Thanks for that. I've seen many channels grow just from playing souls games the first time so I hope you see that success.
    A note on summons. Since you dont use a shield and you seem like you want a good challenge, summons can ruin that. You'll be able to upgrade your summons and some summons you acquire later can trivialize bosses. Summons are the closest thing the game has to easy mode so you may want to wean yourself of them as you get further in the game if you want it to stay challenging. If your goal is to play other souls games, there are summons but not nearly as reliable or plentiful.

    2:19 for context the golden knight next to the church of Elleh is a mid tier boss fight, some would consider it an early game boss so you have many more challenges on the way. Do not let it dissuade you because with every victory gets you stronger and smarter

    Yeah, you've missed some stuff: anyone who says that they didn't are full of it. I'm currently half-way through my third full playthrough, and I'm still finding locations, dungeons, bosses, etc. that I missed on both previous runs. For me, that's one of the joys of this game.
    The only thing I would stress is: DO NOT let anyone else try telling you how you 'should' be playing, or that you're not playing 'properly'. Play how YOU want to play and do what you enjoy doing.

    Really enjoying your Elden Ring journey so far! I think timelapsing the mini dungeons that are pretty similar to each other and then doing the boss fight normal is a good idea, as they are fun to do but can get repetitive after awhile. There is a catacomb near starting area that has another uchigatana in it, which would let you dual wield them (and that's super fun to do as samurai lol)
