Elden Ring Where To Go First | Beginners Guide

- čas přidán 24. 02. 2022
- Elden Ring is massive and like other FromSoftware games, it can be challenging. Here a guide on where to go first so you don’t get lost or overwhelmed by area you’re not quite ready for.
So you’ve just stepped foot in Limgrave for the first time and you’re wondering what you should do first. This beginning area of Elden Ring is big and offers lots of things to do as well as secrets to find. With this starter path, you’ll be ready to take on any challenges that come your way.
In this Elden Ring beginner's guide, we’re taking you step by step from your first Site of Grace to your second, third and beyond. We’re giving you some key locations to visit in order to obtain items that will make your time in The Lands Between even more enjoyable and, at times, less challenging. And for those looking for an easier way to explore Elden Ring’s second location, we show a hidden path that does not involve fighting a boss character.
We have a separate video to help you choose which Elden Ring class is right for you, as well as more guide content, so make sure you subscribe to GameSpot on CZcams and check out the written versions on gamespot.com. In our Elden Ring review in progress, Tamoor Hussain awarded the game 10/10, calling it "a masterpiece of open-world design that places exploration and player agency at the heart of the experience."
#EldenRing - Hry
POV: You‘re a new player who just jumped into the games and after approx. 14074 deaths you decided to take a look at some guides
so true
You know me so well 😂
In my years of gaming, I never had to go look for help and was stubborn but here I am 😂😂
Yes I can't be the first boss fell guy or whatever his name is dude with the tail
I’m actually just deciding to look at guides after I already platinumed the game 3 times. I’m still not sure if I’m playing right
Wow, I should’ve seen this earlier. I went into storm hill castle directly and after 5 hours and at least a 100+ deaths..managed to get Godric down to 20pc HP. This is my first souls game and somehow, I’ve not rage quit after dying to those eagles and knights multiple times…
Yea…I rage quit after those knights. About 20 minutes in
@@matthewh8452 The game is big enough for you to explore literally. Theres no point to rage quitting
@@connergalles7106 i rage quit then said this to myself lol just go somewhere else
Those knights man…
good on ya mate
"low level dungeons well suited for beginners" walks into dungeon and gets mauled by 2 gargoyle abominatons
lol same
I got mauled in both lol. At the bottom of the other one is some mist walk through nd bam instant death boss fight. And the 2 tiny gargoyles instant death
Yep, I feel ya
got burned to death
@@darrenluisis5067 use the wolves the witch gives u (i think she gives it to you) and its p easy
I bought a PS5 and this game on a whim because I saw it was a highly rated game. I haven’t played video games since 2011 and to say I’m confused is an understatement.
Bro this game got me completely lost like no story filling ya in Id say go play witcher 3 not as good of graphics but story and game play makes sense also multiple endings so you can replay the game
I’m still completely shocked it sold like 17 million copies and won game of the year over God of War. I definitely feel like I’m missing something…
@@billykimber905 try to play again and pull up a screenshot of the island you’re exploring. When you go through areas, fill in a color with the parts you’ve ran through. This will give you a sense of direction when clearing an island. This helped me, I stopped playing the game in May (when it came out) for the same reasons as you. I just picked it up again and stared marking the areas I’m clearing. It helps, give it a shot. Remember the game is mostly exploring and having fun finding things.
I made sure to buy a physical copy Incase I didn't "get it" so I could sell it back and recomp sum losses lol
just be patience and wander just keep watching videos
I would be forever maidenless without this excellent guide []-)
I just heard this line in the game as i read this comment
Indeed, I tarnished needed said guide
@@DxLxO You read comments instead of watching the video? lol comment sections are good though !
LOL HAHA 🥶
I put 50 hours into this game just wandering around before I met Melina the first time, because I never rested. This is why we need guides
Tip guys, the torch is really useful against an enemy (dunno its name) which is a giant flowers that attacks you with poison and magic. Use the torch to stagger it an cancel any of it attacks
The torch works well for anything that's weak to fire. Like the first big cave with all the smithing stones, the rats and flame thrower guys. All those enemies are weak to fire. You can two-tap most of those enemies with the torch.
Whew. I didn't even think to buy the torch. Just hit it with my catch fire, and the sliced away.
Had to jump on torrent and sprint back to a grace before I died from poison damage.
Good call my dude
@@ImMrLucky is there anywhere else I can get one in the beginning (i killed Kale accidentally)
Fire Sling for Faith casters and the Jellyfish summon were my tools for the plant. It's above the Mad Pumkin Head that guards the Intelkegence spell giver mentioned here.
Been playing this game for a few hours now and my range of emotions go from absolutely hating the thing to....the best game I have ever played!!! 😊😊
Same here! I just bought my ps5 last week and bought Elden Ring three days ago and I’ve been watching A LOT of these videos to help myself with this game! It’s so much fun though!
Just bought a xbox series x starting it tonight
Accurate
I have no idea what I’m doing.
Did you ever beat it
i just started and i feel the same way 😭
@@L34NDR0you are not alone looool
I started 2 days ago and so far I feel like I'm troubleshooting something by the sheer amount of videos I use a guide
I just started and I’m lost
As someone brand new to From Soft games entirely, I appreciate videos like this that outright tell you/suggest to you the various things to do to get going 👍🏼
Lol don't let their fans hear you. The neckbeards may be from their mothers basement but that won't stop them from being pretentious
@@dannyboylan5926 I wrote this video and agree. Please have fun the way you want to have fun. :)
Bloodborne is absolutely amazing definitely give it a try after you beat elden ring
@@DaveControlLive alright maybe I'm a bit salty but I'm sick of people acting smug because they like a game thats not hard. I Apologize
@@t-revstastetube8900 the only enemy in bloodborne is the camera. Game is ruined by a bad frame rate! I beat the game and loved it, but that was before we had ps5. Now I am used to 60fps and won't go back. Like going from broadband to dialup. Too bad they don't do a remake or remaster!

Thanks
thanks so much
This is the only video I could find that actually helped me. Thank you so much. Sometimes with games like these you straight up gotta tell people what to do. Saying you can do whatever you want and take your own path is so overwhelming to tell somebody trying to learn. I can do all that on my second playthrough. This video has helped me know what I need and what to look for within the game. It’s so well done and I appreciate it good sir
You have to realise that they would've probably spent 20+ hours just in Limgrave finding everything mentioned here. That's meant to be the appeal of the game - it directs you to fight Margit but after X deaths you realise while it's technically possible to beat him with perfect dodges and attacks, it's just too hard so you go back and start actually exploring and looking for ways to level up, boost your abilities/weapons, reveal new map locations, find new dungeons etc. This is probably frustrating to younger players who grew up with open world games giving them waypoint markers and main story/side story objectives in their journal to follow, but if you give it a chance you'll see how much more rewarding it is learning the areas you're exploring more intimately, feeling excitement when you randomly stumble across a hidden path or cave with rewards to be found.
Margit then no longer seems to occupy your thoughts and you realise there's so much fun to be had just exploring and becoming more powerful. You could essentially ignore Margit for 50 hours and just keep roaming the map turning into an ultra-beast who can take him down later with a few swipes or spells. But that's the beauty of the game, you can just play it your own way, some people will like the challenge of trying to push through the semi-guided main path without levelling up too much outside of the main encounters. IMO this is just too hard for me so I prefer 'prepping' by farming the giants for 1000 runes each and fighting off the bosses in caves
@@zaprct I have played Bloodbourne and sekrio that dont have markers. Also played Kingdom come. But i perfer having main story quests marked and few side missions marked and then having everything else hidden really gives a sense of discovery. when comes to the main story its pretty tedious not knowing were to go.
@@John-996 with your requests you just perfectly described the design of the game. Grace tells you where to go, but you should be able to work out that you need to level up before doing so. Explore the world freely without feeling pressured or rushed to do anything and you’ll enjoy the game much more than being funneled into a set path.
yeah, thats lame. im trying to actually experience the story, not wander the woods looking for "bimblefuck the supreme lord" ash of war to make the boss "cockdick of the great realm" easier@@billyboop1111
@@zaprctyour comment helped me. Thank you!
This is my first From software game, and it didn’t disappoint first few runs knowing where I’m trying to farm brass shield at Waypoint ruins and this map is so giant that I ended up running from a dragon, then getting killed by mini dragons, then killed the undead, then chase by the undead, then lost a close battle with an invader…freaking love this game and it is somewhat overwhelming how complex all the mechanics are but thankfully this community is steeped with excellent wiki’s
that sounds great! Man, there’s really nothing like your first run of a souls game, so don’t ruin it for yourself, trust me on this.
The late game bugs ruined my 80hrs of playtime
@@leflopjames5628 console or Pc ?
This game is a masterpiece my first Souls game aswell its so detailed and its in the detail that draws you in that and the intresting characters and World design....The gameplay is top Notch aswell up there with one of the best games ive ever played in my career .....
@@tsurugi5 What do you mean by don't ruin it? This is my first one as well but I've been lost lol.. still can't find this secret basement in gatefront ruins he spoke of...
The issue for me is this is my first souls game and the hardest thing for me to get into is not having a missions list or tasks to look at. I'm only level 16 and I'm basically just running around without something to do. I'm trying to get into this game but that's the biggest hurdle for me to get over.
I feel the same. I have no clue where to go or even how to progress the storyline. Like is there even an end game?
@@jamesroyale2723 an update for me is I'm currently loving the game. I'm level 53 right now and the thing that changed for me is instead of searching for a specific storyline I started searching for gear and weapons. For example, I took the time to watch guides to get the bloodhounds fang. Then I took the time to upgrade it to +5 and add the enchantments in it. I found a few more things and even unlocked a lot of the map. Once I felt ready I went through all of stormveil and beat that. After that I was into the game and ready to keep progressing and playing. I then went and got eleonoras pole blade and Nagakiba. Once I got that I tacked all of the academy. That leaves me to where I'm at now, and I decided to put bloodhounds fang away and now my main focus is gathering runes and smithing stones to upgrade the pole blade as much as possible. I like that weapon the most right now. Bloodhounds fang is heavy and I'm not the biggest fan of that. Anyways, that's what worked for me. Watching tons of guides and giving myself missions and objectives is what thrusted me into loving the game. I think doing that and leveling up everything before going through the main stuff and tackling the main bosses is the best way to go in my opinion. I still don't understand the extent of everything yet and that's fun because it keeps me engaged to learn and keep going. Hopefully you can get into it like I did! It's really fun!
Played for 2 days, got bored and uninstalled. Who have time to play a game where you have to watch 100s of videos just to understand basic things. I think most of the revies of this game are paid/fake just to create hype
@@SachinMaheshwari1995 it's definitely not everyone's style of play. Like I said in my original post this is my first souls game so everything is new to me. I don't have unlimited time to play I'm married with a 2 year old so my game time is at night only 2-3 times a week max. But it's just about getting into it. I'm enjoying it, I'm enjoying learning about it and learning what new things I can do and upgrade 🤷🏻♂️. It's not a big deal lol if you don't like it you can play something else lol
@@noahgerms7974 yeah I just wanted to try what's the hype of this game. I didn't like much about it. Onto the next
Ended up in caelid 5 hours in. Spent the next two hours just exploring after finding the map fragment for it. This game is huge and I love the discovery without hand holding or quest makers forcing you to go around.
I saw the initial map and thought it was much smaller than I had thought it would be. Then I went out and found all the map fragments and I was very surprised with how large the map is.
Press F
and yet you're here
@@randyluz2088 only here to see the essentials then back to getting lost lol
This is a life saver I’ve only played bloodborne so this was certainly a lot of help. Much appreciated, I was struggling in the start
I can't believe the size of the game so far. I went looking for that Halleigh guy's fort, or whatever his name was and found the Sofia River area on accident, but it was an amazing reveal. The elevator took like 60 seconds to hit the bottom, and it was a crazy cool reveal, almost like the ascendance from Carthus to seeing the view of Irithyll.
Bro it was beautiful. I was in awe looking at the beautiful colors they used in that area, the art direction is impeccable.
@@alejandroaraiza2226 Siofra has been one of my absolute favorite discoveries in the game. I’ve been doing my best not to spoil that in any videos - it’s such an amazing surprise!
Favorite part of the game so far. Looked at this weird rotunda building with an elevator inside and was thinking eh, there’s probably an item or something…
I stumbled upon the river while running away from some bears. This niche area tucked away in the middle of nowhere is larger and more impressive than some entire areas of Dark Souls 1-3
So glad I found that on my own as well. I went directly to the Erdtree to get the goodies than spawn near it to find that ominous elevator. Thought the game was bugging for a sec then was blown away. Even at level 19 or so I was able to find and light all the touches. I won't spoil anything from there.
Also if you're running a dex build, there's another carriage at Gatefront Ruins that has a flail inside the chest, needs 10 str 18 dex and is very effective on horseback 😁
Thank you so much! :)
Man this helped me so much I done the first two Dungeons and I wasn’t too sure where to go after as I don’t want to go to high level area yet and this helps so much thank you
I love when actual gamers create the content for GameSpot. This is helpful.
man thank you so much. i’ve been so overwhelmed by the massive map and I keep running into bosses that 2 shot me. didn’t realize I wasn’t supposed to go to the storm castle yet. i’ve played every souls game multiple times so i’m just overwhelmed by the open world element, as i’m used to just going down the path. again, thank you so much this helped a ton
Me too im very stubborn and ocd so this is very overwhelming for me but I love it. I just still cant focus myself any which way yet. I cant move on til I beat tree sentinel cuz im stubborn although I did roam a bit in the area just getting used to combat and mechanics. Alot going on and its packed with things to do. I just need to calm down and take it slow. 😆
This open world is blowing my mind lol I’m used to dark souls having a set way, now I get to move around at my own place, I’ve already found 3-4 named enemies and I’m barely to the stormfront gates lol
@@CantTreadOnMe the tree sentenial is alot easier if you get torrent (your steed)
This is like no other game i've played before. Normally there's an objective or quest or some type of guidance but for this game I genuinely have no idea what i'm supposed to do
It took me over 20 hours of play time to finally be able to beat Margit! It's definitely better to explore and level up and find as much stuff as you can then to just sit there repeatedly and die trying to beat the boss, especially when you just get more and more frustrated each time.
This was a great video. It’s the only one I found that explains the best areas to go for starting level that I couldn’t seem to find.
I love the fact that after successfully killing first 10 or so monsters and learning how to guard counter I was transported to selia cristal tunnels 😂 luckily I was familiar with the gimick so I ran towards grace site and fast traveled out of there asap
Thank you, your video essay structure is much better than others trying for their first times with this game.
This is the first game like this I’m REALLY TRYING. I played dark souls but never got into it because of the difficulty but being older and more patient, I’m giving this one a try so let me be the millionth person to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GUIDE 💯💙
This is my first Souls game and I’m finding it so unbelievably hard it’s just demoralising. Preying this guide will help
Don't give up, skeleton!
Play dark souls first
Update? Got this game and I just can't play it properly
My first souls game too and i admit its HARD I've died about 200 times in two days but i can't get enough 😂 level 30 now and still dying a lot 😂
I've quit the game several times, but have had the feeling I want to like this game. If I saw this guide earlier, it would have helped a lot. Super useful guide. And just the perfect amount of info without spoiling. Big Thanks!
I'm that much of an absolute Chad I didn't choose a starting gift.
Definitely didn't forget to pick one
Same
I chose one…then while figuring out controls used it in the tutorial and died and never recovered my runes😂😭
Skipped PS4 generation, got a PS5 and this game because my friends have been raving about it for ages. Gotta say...games have changed a LOT since I used to play in my early 20s.
Great tips. I read a couple of reviews that said to follow the golden path, I guess they were doing some trolling like those guys that say hidden path ahead at a way that clearly is just a solid wall. I beat Margit after MANY tries, pretty sure it took about 2 dozen attempts including with summoning people that probably also had no business at that fight like me.
This was super helpful guide for me, I am new to dark souls games and I got in and started running around and was honestly overwhelmed by it. The game is a masterpiece, having a little direction early on really helped me to get my bearings. Cheers.
Glad to have helped! These games can be hard to learn, but when you do, they’re truly something else.

What's your follow-up since?
Great vid! Very helpful on what areas to check out and somewhat in which order. Would love a follow video on this, but a little more detailed - dungeons, bosses, etc.
Best beginner Elden Ring video I have seen yet! I'm a veteran of the soulsbournekiro family and this open world was fffing me right up!
Best Elden Ring vid out there, sets beginners to this type of game right up and gives you a fighting chance
This video has been super helpful and my constant companion through the early part of the game. Easy to miss the stairs going down to the Ashes of War so make sure to explore the right-hand side of the first set of ruins! Also if Renna does not appear make sure to actually REST at the site of Grace and not just travel there.
Thanks for this. As a 2nd time souls player this helps me understand where too go as this is honestly the longest time since DS1 i just did not know what to do or go.
Thank you so much for this video it really helped a lot!
These videos are awesome. Amazingly detailed and informative as to why you would want to do this!! I’m mad I jus found this channel
this was so useful thank you gamespot. this is my first from software game i’m definitely a bit overwhelmed but this has helped me a lot
Enjoy and welcome aboard! Hope you play Bloodborne and Dark Souls next, its alot more straght forward but amazing and you will be awesome by than at combat.
If your just starting the game and are very new to it and have no idea what your getting into this video will explain everything in great detail I made my first character not knowing what to do and kept dying a lot and trying to rush through things I made my 2nd character doing all these steps and boy is he ever strong make sure you do all these steps before heading to stormveil castle , great video!
It's an amazing game dude. Had some good laughs & enjoyed just wandering around the map
Don’t forget to go into the catacombs in the area with the first map fragment so that you can get your Glintstone Whetblade and therefore the ability to change the weapon arts on your weapon!
Where is it?
Im 8 hours in and explored a poison swamp i got to by random chest, a city i got to by elevator and margit. During all this i had around 10 enemy types (most of them bosses) visible, it was a ride
yeah I also got teleported from the chest, got out of the crystal cave, found a cealid map then went back to limgrave. Died a lot in cealid
@@GnFNobleWolf I already have 23 hours in this game this gonna be bad for me.
@@landonmartin5043 i have 9 haha I love it. Can't wait to feel ready for pvp lol
I found that chest, as a lvl 1, before getting the mount or knowing I could fast travel through the map 😭. Explored a decent bit outside of the swamp before just making a new first character after I got sick of getting one shot
@@Epiccheese247 ya without a mount that would have been brutal. This happened to me last night... I had even seen a video saying don't open that chest. ha. At least I knew what to do.. Even at level 24 the enemies in the cave were brutal. So I ran past them all... and found my way out of the caves and too a grave sight so I could teleport again.
EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you!!
Thanks. I now feel much more confident in where to go and what to do first. Great guide.
This has been super helpful, thanks! It's been guiding me along nicely while I learn the ropes, and I'm going to mention it in my upcoming initial impressions vid review. This game has been super fun so far, particularly because it's not so easy but I suspect will get easier, and there's so much to learn and navigate.
It doesn’t get easier, I promise
I just got this game today so much to learn
Super helpful for someone like me who finds himself walking about collecting mushrooms and drinking health flasks haha 😂
Great video even though I went my own way this was a very great video that I will definitely use on my next run for sure!!
ok this is a lot to take it.. i am stopping at the 6 min mark and coming back for more later.. so much in this game to figure out on ur own and i would be lost without guides like this.. much love
Sneak through the ruins To the right of the wagon where you get the sword and you’ll see another wagon open that chest in the wagon you’ll get a flair with a bleed effect! Not bad when you get the required attributes. But the bleed effect is awesome. Also if you find a weapon that you don’t have the strength for you can two hand the weapon to lower the requirements.
Wow I didn’t know this I shouldn’t have sold the flail
I accidentally went straight to Caelid without even realizing it lol
bro😂💀, i hate that place smmm😭
i've played essentially every other fromsoft soulsborne game aside from elden ring and i still felt overwhelmed starting the game. this video really helped me learn the ropes of it.
thank you for the helpful video! really loving elden ring so far but i prefer to have some guidance in new games :D this video gave me some!
10hrs in. Already have 7 flasks +2, and +4 weapon. Take your time exploring, and if you think you can get there… you can. Probably find something too.
Reviewers:"There is no good or bad way to start and should explore for yourself"
Me *1 hour creating my character and the next 3 hours fighting Tree Sentinel*
hahaha same xD
I went from my jaw hitting the floor when I first saw the open world to audibly saying “nope” a few moments later when I saw the tree sentinel in the distant lol
@@eswain28 😂😂
LOL!
I've just started the game as a vagabond and I'm locked in a room, can't get out. Nice
This really helped! Thank you!
This was exactly what I was looking for. Many many thanks!
I’ve been having a blast and did most of this before watching the video but I’ve noticed that the cost of levelling feels like it scales faster as you gain levels and it’s much harder to really experiment and try new things such as legendary armaments at the beginning of the game since the stat requirements for some things such as the tree sentinels spear are as high as 30 strength. I understand the strong weapons should require more investment but I wasn’t expecting to be able to collect these stronger weapons so early in the game and that investment is hard to achieve such as the 40 strength required for the legendary armament ultra great sword that you can get from a not so tough boss just to the south of limgrave.
twohanding helps a bit with that. It gives 50% more str
@@johannessauer9039 Yeah in early game you are supposed two hand these weapons.
exactly, if it needs 30 u need 20 to two handle it (which is not so bad, but that weapon also needs like 16 faith and some dex too)
I like how he said that the first dungeon was easy then I get killed like 50 times sad times but thank you for the advice.
REALLY handy guide, thank you so much.
That helped a lot, thanks man. Been trying to tackle some too high level areas it seems..
I'd recommend putting the spectral steed whistle in your POUCH and leave the Crimson Flask for quicker access. So many people don't even KNOW about the pouch it's crazy... FromSoft doesn't really even mention it. I would also recommend getting a 'lantern' ASAP so you can keep a weapon in your left hand vs carrying the torch.
Thx man
Accidentally got into the red area very early on at level 9, was running for my life because I was getting killed by mobs just staring at me, got lost, went even further, spent 5 hours running deeper and deeper, and rage quitted. Will try again tomorrow. I love elden ring
Best starting video imo 👍
Watched a few but this One gives a lot more help than others!
Still remember watching Your dark souls One video’s And How You helped me throughout The entire game on Your OWN channel dave control
Glad I was able to help! 😁 (and thank you for watching the DS1 play though)!
i wish i could like this more than once. this is the most useful beginners guide I've ever seen 👍
By the way, if you missed the witch who gives you the summon bell, you can buy it in the hub area. You can access this area by resting at a bonfire near the first boss (Mergit the Fell), the maiden will teleport you. At this hub on the lower level you can find a kind of a statue of some witch or smth. and from her you can buy the bell and some summon spirits
nerd
Thanks. Ignore the loser who said nerd. He's just jealous
Thanks I'm not to far just gone back at night and she isn't there
I have the bell but it won't let me use it.
@@mattporter383 You have to equip the spirt you wanna summon in your pouch... then when you are able to use it, an icon appears, and you can use the action button and the pouch quick key to summon them.
My first time playing a souls game… went with wretch. It was extra hard for the first hour or two but once I got some decent armor and a nice sword it’s been great! As you pointed out here though… I made a mistake and went north from
Tutorial and then east from there… so I ended up in Caelid and dragonbarrow!! Hahahaha whole lot of running and crouch walking behind bushes! Hahaha
First thank you for this video. As someone who has never played a souls game this was very helpful. You actually included the real true beginning which was the tutorial which I might add was helpful
Just bought this and watched this immediately. Thank you.
This made everything 50% less overwhelming
Even assigning the ring to a quick use slot is difficult in this game.
Took me 20 minutes to figure out 💀
bro how tf do you do it? i’ve been pausing every time to do it
@@jamesstuder7724 I think if you open your inventory theres a pouch or whatever they call it on the right. If I remember rightly you use that pouch to set up your quick use items. Hope this helps bud.
@@jamesstuder7724go to the pouch, click y/triangle in the slot you want it in and then select the ring
For a beginner this video was all over the place for me... now that i tried and watched multiple videos it now makes sence
Thank you so much for this guide 😊😊😊😊. I am maidenless at the moment. Started yesterday and made it to Melina and got my steed. I will watch this guide to get the rest of the items like the spirit summons plus do those dungeons you mentioned.
Excellent video. I found most of this path on my own but the Golden seeds may just be what I need to help me on this boss in impaled catacombs with thr cat statue boss with all the ads. First from software game. Its freaking challenging lol but really fun. Pc port is bad though. This game is massive
It’s not a port for PC. Also not sure what you think is wrong the PC version?
@@denarii5805 the pc version is currently rated at 63% on steam. It is a terrible port. Frame pacing issues across the board. Stuttering. Some players have it every few seconds. I have it once every few minutes. Controller support is borked on pc. It took me over an hour working through different solutions trying to get it to recognize my ps4 controller. Fps is capped to 60. No ultrawide support. Mouse sensitivity is way too high. Keybindings don't work properly with the in game menu. Q is the exit button. Unstable coop. The list goes on. The game itself may be good but these technical problems are bad. Hence it is a bad port of an amazing game. They said they are working to fix the stutters.. hopefully they can quickly. Over 30000 reviews and nearly 10000 negative reviews 99% of them being because of thr aforementioned things above
@@Vartazian360 There is community fixes for all these things, if you dont mind playing the game offline. You basically disable the EAC(Easy anti cheat) That is one of the things that is causing the problems atm. Also use a program called "Flawless widescreen" It has fixes that enable you to uncap the frame rate, get rid of 'vignette' and increase the FOV.
All of this makes the game run MUCH better.
Of course the downside is you can't play online. Also if you do this, make sure to set all the settings in the menu to offline. turn all the online stuff to off, THEN do what i said above.
Great video but still no idea where to go
Very helpful video, thank you
this is acually really helpful ive been having trouble finding bosses
i play souls games so once i find them its easy finding them in this game is just the hard part
I just beat Margit, at like level 15, and I wish I had seen this earlier. So much more I could have done in the starting area before attempting him. I’ve spent hours trying to beat him 😂
What you lost in hours, you gained in skills.
I beat margit at level 13, 1 hour of pain 😂😂
I see what people mean when they say they're hard games now.
Do y’all just rush in?before exploring other parts of the game 🤣
@@martymar2113i beat the game in 60 hours
@@HaYouGotRekTed some beat 8t in 120, 100% obviously
My first souls game I’m two hours in and just beat the Demi-human chief after 7 times game is pretty good so far.
Good luck 👍
You got this! Don't give up😁
It only gets better as you get better find weapons you like and get fashioned up and stacked stats and ohhh my god it just gets so good. Wait til you play Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1-3 heh you have literally thousands of hours of pure bliss ahead of you.
@@CVFFEINE thank you 👍
@@CantTreadOnMe yeah I’m at 10 hours now I just hit dragonbarrow. Plus I do plan on playing other souls games 👍
I was literally fixing to Google what to do when starting out and this just happened to be in my feed. I'm new to the series, so i was overwhelmed greatly! My brother and I took like 3hrs figuring out how to summon/join other people's games 🤣. This has helped, great job and thanks for the effort!
Ya multi-player is a nightmare lol. Hope yall enjoy the rest of the game though! So much to do!
i wouldnt recommend relying on multiplayer for your first playthrough
I missed the Cave of Knowledge on my first playthrough, and I went back because I remembered the hole. I was so shocked when I learned how easy it was to two-hand a weapon, and it made gaming so much easier, especially when I wasn't strong enough to wield certain weapons one-handed at first
I’m nine hours in at lvl thirty and have been all over the lands between. It’s really cool no one else has had the same journey or experience I have
u been all over nah u need to go south and east than go north
What makes your journey different?
u want a medal
How is it different? You playing Elden Ring 2 or something?
@@shaif2664 pretty sure he wanted to say that everybody has his own journey because you have so much choices of where to go
I was level 30 when I took on Mergit with a plus 3 weapon and I still did weak damage. Im doing a hybrid faith build, but I think its best to start this game with a dex/str build and then later respec into faith because all the weapons you get early on scale with str/dex.
Confessor is goated
A mounted Knight near some kind of small castle thats closed, and a Ghost sitting near the main door, droped a weapon skill that add holy damage to the weapon, and add a faith scale also, it's pretty useful for early faith builds.
I beat Margit at level 15 with nonstop parties. I also started strength and dex and am now changing to faith.
@@whiskydoctor7477 did not know this, thank you for letting me know
Experiment with damage types. Strike (aka blunt) slash, and piercing can all be resisted differently and if something is doing
Look at your own armor details to kind of see how damage is broken down. Your enemies stats are simular. It is also possible for a weak armor to have a defensive value far higher then you'd assume if the damage resistances line up right with your enemy
This video was very helpful, thanks
Limgrave Tunnels- you need to use a striking weapon like the flail or a war pick (both are available from drops from the gateside ruins (flail is in a chest on the back of the eastern wagon)). It takes forever to whack them with a slashing or piercing weapon. Just FYI.
This is great, thank you. I imagine this being a very replayable game, so I don't mind having my hand held the first time round!
I’m glad that going south is somewhat easier because I stumbled upon Margit very early and he consistently destroys my current level character.
Yeahh i spent 3 hours n barely got him to half health before deciding to level up a bit more lol
Get margits shackle from patches!
@@jeremybarney5178 I heard about that but I’m trying to find him. I went down to Castle Morne in the meantime. I’m gonna give him another shot after I beat the boss here.
I've Platinumed every From Software game and I fought him at level 15 without an upgraded weapon and he absolutely destroyed me. Harder than Orphon of Kos, but I realized I was just completely under-leveled
@@MoneyMaker4545 me too bud. 👍 getting the platinums we’re really satisfying. But yea this game is just a bit different. I love you options they give you here
This video is all I needed.
I'm amazed that almost every tip video I watch has so many different tips!
This is a very helpful video. Super clear for beginner players.
I completed it shortly after watching this video. Very helpful
Btw spirit jellyfish is awesome for bosses since he will poison them, causing MASSIVE chip damage
Thanks for the tip!
The undead militia are OP as they keep getting up even after they are killed. Unlimited distraction for you to wail on the boss!
This helps a lot
Thank you, it helps a lot
I'm just happy to see all the newcomers having a blast once they get over the initial shock on how overwhelming it can be. See how much more fun a game can be without questmarkers and icons all over the map and hud? Everyone finds their own path and has a unique experience. I'm loving this game myself.
This is my first souls-type game and I'm obsessed now. That is all.
@@roadrunner_rc lol, good to hear!
@@Mr.PR2000Same. I put this game down a while ago out of frustration. I'm used to games that guide you like Horizon and God of War. This and Breath of the Wild I made slow progress.
@@jeffghant4760 Funny you say that i just deleted Elden Ring today! I just got bored of it. Maybe later down the line I’ll get back to it. Breath of the wild was the same problem i just stopped.
Am I supposed to be able to beat the troll at the storm place entrance in the beginning? He just ran through and there was no troll
I played for nine hours and just completed the castle boss. Did it early for more sorcery items. Hope it will pay off. Bosses 2nd phase are quite challenging up close but with some items its much easier.
7 hours in and barely just got the mount lol. I'm going so slow having so much fun! Feel like a kid again!
i firstran around the whole map finding the hardest optional bosses to do took2 hours on every boss and about 1 hour of findingthem to make 10 hours already took the souls and stuff went to the church place with the smithy to upgrade my weapon made it + 6 with 30 vigorand 32 strenght went into first boss in castle and opliteratedhim with the help of my trusty viking demon archer
GG ! I went there after 6hr30 min and he completely smashed me😅
5 hours in,
just got to West map, the Manor.
Did I miss the castle haha
Idk about you guys but I’m having better luck just exploring til there’s ruins/dungeon or a boss. Like, the random groups or outposts everywhere haven’t given me much.
Is sorcery still ez mode?
Thanks so much helped me a lot
This is really good, best guide by far.
Question… shouldn’t the first thing you do after getting Torent be going BACK 2 Church of Elleh at night to get Summons?
It's all up to you. It's first possible immediately after that, but I waited until I got the knife and killed the 2 bosses west of storm gate then I went through to storm hill and killed the lady on the boat boss before being able to summon
@@theguy8763 we are talking in the context of beginners since thats the video subject you pleeb.
Yes, yes you can. For me at least she did not show up until I fought the tree sentinel at least once. Surprised the video did not mention that as people will think its a glitch at first if you avoided the large horseback boss at the very start.
@@evilsWa the point is, like I said, is that it's up to the player. Hence why I said what I did.
@@theguy8763 I’ve noticed a trend of newcomers taking the “explore on your own and don’t look for a hand to hold” advice very poorly. FromSoft games aren’t for everyone. If somebody feels that they need clear direction and map markers they should probably just stick to AC.
"After you're done with all of this, I want you to hop on Torrent"
Me: *as I'm hopping onto Torrent and following his directions to the tee* "haha, who the heck does this guy think he is?"
