Elden Ring for dummies: Basics for EVERYTHING You Need to Know (But Were Afraid to Ask) PS5 GAMEPLAY
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 06. 2024
- A little while ago, we published a beginners tips guide to #EldenRing - what we didn’t realise though, was that for some these tips weren’t beginner enough. If this is your first From Software game, a lot of the most basic systems here are not obvious at all. So, Aoife Wilson is stripping it right back to the very beginning for anyone who might be struggling still. This is Elden Ring for Dummies - that is, anyone who just needs a bit of a helping hand from someone in the know, explaining the things that From Software didn’t. We cover attributes, levelling, weapon scaling, equip loads, magic use, invincibility frames, Spirit Summons, the HUD, flasks, item crafting AND MORE. Let us know if you have any further questions in the comments! #Eurogamer #EldenRingforDummies

![[CHECK PINNED COMMENT] 12 Things You Missed In Limgrave!! [probably] - Elden Ring Guides & Tutorials](/img/n.gif)
Any newcomers don't be discouraged. This is also my first Souls game and it definitely gets easier the more you play and explore and remember if you can't beat the boss you're trying to beat you can always leave and level up then go back to fight to make it easier!
Tunnel Vision suuuuuux
@@VeraTepes huh
Thanks I do keep forgetting this fact :)
See it's this shit right here that I love seeing this. gamers being nice and encouraging to other gamers you don't see that enough man just people putting others down and discouraging them from trying to get better at games because they wanna gatekeep like what they play will lose it's coolness factor if they teach others to be better but none of that here which is especially rare when it comes to soul games!!! Hahaha
Nah this game sucks. I should’nt have to CZcams everything when playing a game . Sick of people telling t me not to get discouraged when I can’t even walk around without dying a million times . What about that is fun ? WhT about YouTubing how to every little basic thing fun ? Gameplay is purposely sluggish and terrible jjst to make it more difficult . Anybody who thinks this game is good is lying to themselves . Yea it looks really cool. Just about it though . I’ve been gaming for 20+ years . This is an over complicated mess . I’m literally just sitting here staring at the screen not knowing what to do or where to go . Can’t move becuase I’ll probably get killed by jjst about anything that moves . They could’ve atleast made the gameplay fun . But nope let’s just over complicate it and make it as unnatural as possible for gamers . Fuck this shitty game
I can’t thank you enough, this is my first souls game ever and it’s been SUPER overwhelming trying to grasp everything. I’ve watch many videos but none really addressed being a total noob like myself. This video was perfect, can’t wait for the combat one!
just throw yourself into the catacombs and you’ll start to get better, after awhile it just clicks - another thing blocking in this game can be helpful if you have a good shield
Yeah I’ve been playing for hours and made 0 progress so this is really helpful
@@vortexremix678animationtra7 same man. This is my first souls game and even beat a boss or more than 2 mobs at the time is a challenge. This tutorial really helps people like us! haha
The biggest challenge for me is trying to figure out why to care. I thought these games were supposed to be top tier but the story seems so bland.
@@CatastrophicDisease you must be a blast at party's lol
This is, by far, the most useful Elden Ring content I've seen. Vast majority of coverage seems to be from the perspective of people who are experts at these kind of games and have pumped hundreds of hours into them. Thanks for doing this for people like me who have never played one!
Lol yeah like the videos telling you how to get the best early gear for your build, but you need to be at least a level 80+ to even get to the places or kill the major boss that drops it... Shit I have been killing smaller things over and over again grinding just to level up a bit so I can take a damn hit without dying. It doesn't help that my brain is still telling my hands I'm still playing the game I was last week, so I keep drinking my damn flasks while trying to attack...I'm not sure I like this controller configuration. I really wish that similar games would use similar controller configurations so that switching between games would be much smoother and easier for people to understand if they play that style of game.
And boy don't let corporate know how much money they could make by selling game saves in a store... 😆
@@whispersinthedark88it depends lol I got a nice staff in a high level area while at level 15 I just rode past enemies I couldn’t handle made sure to find the grace points on my way so I wouldn’t get stranded too far from my rune if I died. When I got to the place where the staff was I just rode in and got the hell out of dodge by teleporting back to where I’m at in the story lol
@almostagod I got screwed by ign, I was looking for something and realized that I had accidentally fucked up a side quest then I used their guide to "fix" it...never trust ign. I was also playing dexterity which was kinda ass early on, maybe I should have tried one of their op builds 🤣
But I figured it out eventually
By far the most ads 20min video also
as a Souls veteran, thanks for this. encouraging people to get into these and keep pushing means a lot
Praise The Sun ☀️
Praise The Sun🌞
Praise the sun
Praise the erdtree
Don't praise the sun, praise its creator, it's like saying thank you to a chair instead of the carpenter.
@@esakhan2239 yes praise the one and only true got and trust In his son only through him we have salvation
Quick tip for getting staffs, bows, other weapons early on. As soon as you go to the roundtable the first time you can find a statue in the back area of the left hand hallway (not the one with the blacksmith) that sells ALL the starter weapons for every other class you didnt choose (bows, staffs, seals, axes, daggers, shields, etc.). It also sells some armor and other minor items. Hugely beneficial especially for finding a bow very early.
Also, the Golden runes you pick up (i.e. the ones you find on the ground in skulls, dropped by enemies, or laying throughout the world) these are not added to your rune count UNTIL you use them BUT wait until you are at a site of grace or merchant to use them when youre in need of some extra runes to purchase items or reach the amount needed for next level up. Try not to use them all if you dont need to. They can be a great emergency stash if you die before recollecting your dropped runes.
(Edit: Staffs not available at twins but all other weapons def are)
didnt realise they even had a use thought it was just some useless pickup.
The twins? They sell a staff? Or is there another seller back there?
@@fcold9402 Yeah didn't realize they were called the husk twins til the other day but yeah those are the ones. You can also give them bells and other key items throughout the game to add to their inventory to buy. Like unlimited #1 & 2 smithing & sombering smithing stones, unlimited 1 & 2 grave worts, etc. Yeah i think they had a staff but maybe not, i know they sell the seal though
@@benefitsboi7232 Oh really, yeah they can give you a BUNCH more runes on top of what you earn by defeating enemies. You can sell them to merchants also and i think they sell for the same amount of runes that youd get if you used it.
@@rbgilbert11 Yeah i checked, no staff but i do have the other item for what amounts to cleric spells. But i am apparently an "apprentice" to some mage lady except she only sells spells so i have no focus to use them. I have checked all the merchants i have found but no joy. If i ever start a new character i will make sure to pick one with the staff.
elden ring is my first fromsoft game and this helped me a lot. I am hoping to see the battle mechanics video soon! :D thks!
Never discourage!!! These games are completely worth it!!!
Good thing a played sekiro before this.. i am atleast getting something but tbh it's not much..
@Michael H .. damn straight!!
My 1st to, game is so addictive. I really don't know what the hell I'm doing but still having a great time playing. Great vid cleared up some questions I had
Same for me :)
Finally, someone to hold my hand and just figure out the basics so I can enjoy the game a whole lot more. Thank you so much, I thoroughly enjoyed your video.
Please do a tutorial on the mechanics of upgrading please! I am afraid to upgrade anything for fear of upgrading something only to not be able to upgrade something better and wasting mats.
Thanks again for your time!
*slices off hand*
I will hold this don't you worry!
@@rabbidguarddog Nice of you to slice your hand off for me. Love this community.
Don't worry about, smithing stones become plentiful later in the game.
One thing I noticed was that while on the map, you can press a button (L1 on PS) to show areas where summoning (multiplayer status) is possible. Seems to work for any unfogged part of the map even without a map fragment, and it shows them in areas (like a cave) you haven't discovered yet; basically pointing out there is something there worth exploring.
Thanks! That's very helpful!
This is a great tip! Thank you
Nice one mate 👍🏻
Oooh good tip, thanks matey
😮
Just a small note on meeting Melina for the first time. It has to be 3 overland Sites of Grace; the ones in caves don't count.
@Edward Hernandez Both are right, and I tested both out just now; you either can run straight to the Gatefront SoG or it has to be 3 overland SoG and the third one doesn't need to be the Gatefront one.
This helped way more than you know. Yes more please. 60 hours into the game...I didn't know how to summon the wolves, that I was supposed to get my sword leveled up past +3, and your advice helped me out even more. This is my first game like this.
10 hours in and I’m really enjoying it. It does make me feel lost sometimes, but as long as you travel the world and find Sites of grace, and fighting any boss or mini bosses you see in any order you want, then I think you’re doing ok.
Such is the path of us tarnished.😂😎💀
Feeling lost is part of the experience
Very nice video.
If this helps people as well.
You have a quick pouch you can use by holding down triangle and then pressing one of the D buttons.
You can find it to the top right after pressing the start button.
I find it usefull for summons and buffs.
Hope it helps 👍
it seems no seasoned souls players figured the pouch, as it is never mentioned in any video while this is actually the best place for summons (Torrent and spirits)
This is so incredibly useful that I hope it gets incorporated in a future video.
Being able to select Torrent with a simple button combo is so much better than having to scroll through your items.
I wish this tip had been in this video. I'm a veteran souls player, but a person in chat had to tell me about it. Super useful for summoning ash, using the spy glass, lantern, torrent, etc. Only four can be accessed quickly with button combinations.
Whats a buff ????
Im still a bit confused with the pouch. Its got 6 slots but I appear to only be able to use 4 of them. What about the 2 at the bottom ?
Me, a super newbie to souls games, have almost reached lvl 40 but most of the points you are talking about here, are absolutely new (and helpful!!) - thank you so much for this video!
Never played a fromsoft game before, though my brother was always a fan. Took a 90$ gamble on the game, and despite knowing nothing about it and absolutely sucking at the game, I find it extremely rewarding. Going from dying to wolves like a newb to felling my first boss has given me a feeling inside I havent felt from a video game in a LONG time. I still have a lot to learn, but i will use this video for reference when running into simple troubles.
Honestly a great guide. I found it late so I found this all out the hard way, but man this is so well done. I never comment, but it was really warranted here. The only thing I would add is some mention of how to use the pouch, since that can be a really handy tool to access commonly-used items.
I often struggle more in these games with managing the UI, and memorizing which items do what.
The fighting is also really difficult, but often knowing how to get the most out of the items you have makes the difference.
This is the most helpful “how to” video I’ve seen so far for this!
Thank you yet again Aoife! As previously mentioned I’m not a beginner in FromSoft games, and even already have 10 hours in Elden Ring… and still I learned a few new things in this video. I couldn’t find anything when I started playing about the little blue “tombstone” symbol on the left of my screen, but thanks to you I now know it means that I can summon. Sincerely, thank you Aoife ❤️
Now if we could just get a play through of Elden Ring with you and Johnny, I could die happy.
I played most of the souls games and I was lost in ELDEN rING.
THANK YOU!!!!!! This is my first souls game, and I've loved it so far...but there is a very steep learning curve! Some stuff I knew, but most I didn't...can't wait to play again tonight and use the information you gave in the video!!
This video will be getting watched a lot when I'm playing this. I didn't even know that you could improve the map.
Played this for 3 hours so far and I have struggled a lot with this. Would very much like a video on combat, I am especially dreadful at that.
You will get it, don't give up. Find yourself a shield with 100 Physical negation, go to the first little camp with the soldiers, lure them out one by one if possible, and play with patience, practice your Guard Counter (block one attack and press R2) just practice that for awhile until you keep doing it over and over again smoothly.
Yeah, I've never played Souls, so EVERYTHING about this game is pretty new to me. This video is helpful af lol Still loving the game, even though my Bandit takes a fucking beating lol
@@revengeofthesynth5430 what is this attribute scaling? letters? im literally so lost
@@jasonlarocque2761 I am also not an expert but my vague understanding is that the letters mean how well the weapon damange scales based on your attribute level. Like S is the best, then comes A to E. In general, when you add points to, for example, dexterity, the weapon becomes better. The letter determines how much better it becomes, so if the weapon has a "good" letter in dexterity, the more better it becomes upon each added point in dexterity attribute. Something like that.
@@akuskus That is correct; better scaling in a stat means that having more of that attribute will give you greater damage with that weapon, so using weapons that scale well to your highest attribute (or putting levels into the attribute the weapon you want scales to) is recommended. Scaling can also be improved by improving the weapon, but that's a whole other confusing thing.
This was super handy! I've really enjoyed the opening parts of the game but the stats and equipment systems can be a little inscrutable and this helps really break it down (and not end up worrying if I've 'wasted' a level up point)
Aww, you made a video just for me. Thanks!
I completed Dark Souls 1 and 2 without ever understanding weapon scaling. 😂 Even with online guides it was just gibberish to me, so I mastered my starting weapon both times, fully levelled it and 'got good'. It's accidentally hilarious that I got to Elden Ring without knowing what that stuff meant.
that is excellent skill, I must say. those are like bragging rights runs with the simplest equipments. well done. in souls games, timing is everything. 'gitting good' is essentially mastering the timing of dodge and parry and you can finish the entire games. personally I could pull off parries often, but reliably - and that road leads to frustrations
Great video. Would like to add that most of the pop-up tutorials get added to the Info tab of your inventory. Can't remember what it said about dodging? Just go to the Info tab, find the entry "About Dodging" and press the key/button on screen to see the details.
Count me in for a video on combat, as this is my first Souls game (watching Eurogamer and the Oxbox/Oxtra teams convinced me to try), so I'll take all the help I can get.
THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH!! This is exactly what I needed to be able to jump into this awesome experience.
Thank you for making it so clear and easy to digest. Now it feels far less overwhelming and more accessible. 👍🏻
Thanks, Aoife! Brilliantly explained and super detailed without feeling (too) overwhelming! I actually feel like I may actually be able to tackle my first FromSoft game armed with this. Combat vid would be AWESOME too!
This video is so detailed! This must have taken ages. Thank you for working so hard to make things easier for us.
My fourth From Software game and this is still a nice refresher. Thank you
This was great! Thank you so much! This is my first game like this, I absolutely love it, but have no idea what I am doing. This video definitely helped! Thank you 😁
This is my first fromsoftware game and I would definitely would love to see another video about combat, status abnormalities and buffs.
Thanks Aoife, this was super useful! A combat for dummies would also be awesome.
Thank you so much for this. This is my first game with From Software, and it's been quite awhile since I've played anything. I love the "figure it out yourself" aspect, but a tip now and again is great too!
Brilliant video.
It helped me understand a few things I was struggling with, plus a few things I didn't know!
Elden Ring is my first FromSoft game so I'm a rank amateur. Informative and well put together videos like this are an absolute must for newcomers.
First off, as a souls beginner I probably needed to do 2 hours worth of research just to not feel completely overwhelmed, but then behold, a masterpiece!
I’m with you. Same experience for me.
My only real gripe is that we really shouldn’t have to be in a position where we’re searching on here, or elsewhere, for tips. The game should do all that.
In the “old days” if you bought a physical game you would usually get a manual with it. There were times when that manual was a lifesaver. I often used to read it before starting whatever game I was going to play, and it was useful to keep next to you during a session. Nowadays, unless the game explains things in the game, you end up searching online, which Im not a fan of. Sure, it’s really helpful, BUT Ive seen spoilers doing that and I don’t want to see spoilers. Even this video, which is first class, has location spoilers I’d rather not see. When I explore big games like this, I want my experience to be as fresh as possible.
Moan over 😂
@DorisDay-lw4xs yeah I definitely understand Fromsofts desire to not hold your hand, but to have an option to explain controls for new players would be nice.
I watched this, and then 10 minutes later, I beat my first mini boss on first try without dying. Actually, two of them. The two Demi Human Chiefs in the Coastal Cave. Your video made the weight system very easy to understand, and I'm pretty sure that's why I was successful. Im a FS rookie but gaming & rpg veteran. The systems in ER aren't new, they are just obscured a little.
Oh, nice! I chose Wretch (purposely) and was being stubborn (partly naive) with using extra help or changing up my approaches for those fuckers, but I think I got it the 2nd or 3rd time coming back with less gear holes or just better gear, the lone wolves ashes, and a functioning offline golden summon or something. Still between like level 1-6, I think. I didn't know what the summon was exactly besides help I haven't seen again but dude didn't follow me in the second-ish try first rodeo. Played a little DSR but couldn't get past the clunky feel and - I guess, now that I think about it - the abundance of corridors. Gaming has been a hobby of mine a good 80% of my life. Not much RPG history, though. Anyways, cheers to a fellow Tarnished!
OMG! Finally found a video that is helpful. I am new to the souls genre and was really hard for me to understand the game and its mechanics and different features it offer. I have watched many videos that instructs us what to do rather than explain the feature. This video helps us to play with our own style,, as you explain all the features which helps us to decide how to go about the game. Thank you for this
In addition to the Quick Slot info don't forget about the Item Pouch. It's very useful! Thank you very much for the info in this video.
Just a heads up, Arcane does more in Elden Ring than previous games and more than just item find. It boosts dragon magic and also boosts status effects (bleeding, poison, rot etc etc)
Also that status effect only scales if the weapon has arcane scaling
@@coraline2770 so it wont scale the bleed of my Uchigatana, thank you. Was about to invest in Arc. lmao
First time playing a souls game, this was unbelievably helpful. I 100% vote for the combat video as well.
I think I was just extremely lucky to get most of these off the bat. I like to repeat things before moving on, so that might have helped not missing out on something. This is so much better than their other games.
With each new Elden Ring video on Eurogamer, you are convincing me to buy my very first From game.
I’m grateful for all the tip videos for when I do eventually succumb...
New player here , I been playing for over a week now and watched a bunch of videos , this was by far the most helpful great video
Thank you for all your hard work making this video!
This is my first “souls” style game but I’ve already put over 100 hours in and this video was still worth the watch. I’d love to see your detailed video on combat you were thinking about doing. Solid content.
Thank you so much. I’m not a huge gamer, but am loving Elden Ring, but it’s so hard! Thanks for the tips. Subscribed
This video really helped me, as a soulsborne first timer. Thanks!
Stay tuned for the third and final video in the series: "Elden Ring for arrow77", where Aoife dumbs it down even more, uses sock puppets with her explanations, and ends every sentence with "you dumbass".
Like you say early in the video… “ 1st game I’ve played From Software”
So I wanted to come in and say thank you. Before this guide, I almost stopped playing the game. I found myself too lost. After your vid….I’m excited to create a new char s& a new play through. Thanks yall
❤️✌️
This video has been super helpful with very minimal spoilers which I truly appreciate. I look forward to other help videos and combat videos as well. I'm completely new to Souls games and the more I play, the more I realize I need help. I have seen combat videos with players able to circle around their opponents to get to their back. I'm having difficulty executing that maneouvre. I need to practice.
Excellent stuff, many thanks Aoife! Yes please to a Combat for Dummies follow-up, and possibly a very general guide for which areas to try at different stages? I've played a few hours, but still feel heavily under-prepared for any bosses, and I'm unsure what to do next...
I’d recommend exploring most of Limgrave and Weeping Peninsula before venturing into Stormveil Castle. I got to about level 30 before entering Stormveil, and that seemed to work.
Good luck!
Start with some of the mini-bosses in the caves in Limgrave - similar kind of flow to the battle but they're easier with smaller health bars.
As you play the game you'll get a feel for when you're underlevelled, but a general tip is that the minor enemies you come across in an area shouldn't give you much trouble when you fight them one by one. (Mobs are always a bad time.)
Put the spectral steed whistle in your item pouch instead, the much easier to access in a pinch when you need a quick getaway instead of having to scroll through quick items!! 👌
This is EXACTLY what I did. I played for an hour and was so confused. Wasn’t until I saw a gameplay vid that I realised what I did. This video is so helpful!
Fantastic guide that I wish I'd found sooner! I've picked up a few extra tips that I'd definitely add though. First, Arcane does everything you described but it also scales status effect build-ups like bleed or poison so it's definitely worth investing in if you have weapons that do that too. Second, the pouch is a much easier way to access flasks or Torrent's whistle than the main equipment slots as it's always a fixed, two-button press to use them instead of a press and hold of the D-Pad. Great for quickly chugging a flask mid-combat or hopping on Torrent to flee a bad situation!
I want to thank you for all of the new bloods and veterans for whom you made this very well structured and informative overview/guide :)
I'm late to the party, just started my first elden ring run, been on Fromsoft since I grabbed Demon's Souls from a friends pile of games for PS3, man I missed these games..
edit: 15hrs into an int build (going int since Demon's) and I totally didnt know about the memory stones :'D ty
Fantastic video, thankyou
Super helpful, thank you for taking the time to make this video! :)
Just purchased elden ring for ps4 about 2 weeks ago. This is a great guide. Thank you!👍🏼💥
Remember when physical games came with manuals?
I'll be completely honest, this is my first from software game... and iv gone in blind, iv actually enjoyed learning, without watching tips. Iv died... a lot... let's just say that. But it's all part of the fun of it. I'm absolutely addicted. I'm at godrick atm, not quite strong enough to take him on yet, but searching the castle... getting killed still every now and again 😂
That was super helpful. It is a complex game, that is certainly going to be learning curve. I enjoy taking it slow and understanding all the rules before really getting into it. This was exactly what I was looking for. Great job
Thank you so much for this video. The breakdown of the load weights was huge. It’s my first FromSoftware game and I’m almost lvl 30 and I’ve been rolling heavy the ENTIRE game. Almost quit several times. Thanks again.
Thank you. I’ve been getting very frustrated because the last time I played a game like this was fable two. As someone who pretty much only played call of duty for the past years I’m feeling very lost
This is the first FromSoftware game I haven't bounced off immediately due to not vibing with the atmosphere and the trappings of the game. I'm obsessed this time and it's led me back to Sekiro which I'm also having a blast with. What a masterpiece.
These guides are brilliant, Aoife! I have owned the game since release, but haven't gotten started on it because I felt a bit in over my head. These guides make me feel prepared for setting out!
I can say for sure, that i Needed it this guide. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for me. I still need a lot of Things. Like parry, and ashes of war. Great vídeo! Helped a lot!
Very comprehensive.
21 ads in this video. This should be criminal
Welp. I hope she got paid well for it
Adblock mate if you can
Thank you very much for one of the more comprehensive videos I have watched about Elden Ring. The game can be overwhelming at times. As with many RPGs, the intricate details of the world and everything in it can sometimes be confusing. This is a great reference video to go back to time and time again. Thanks again for the great video and I look forward to watching any combat and ash of war specific videos you publish. Great work!
Wow this guide is simply one of the most detailed, comprehensive and clear guide you can ever dream about for a such complex game such as Elden Ring ! 🙏🏻
There's so much to this game and it's fucking stupid, I wish I was able to just jump in and play. This game is legitimately made for maiden-less players.
This is my first Fromsoft game, I'm loving it so far, I started as a wretch to roleplay my own destiny of becoming the Elden Lord. So far as of writing I'm 3 and a half hours in at level 19 going around exploring Limgrave, I've died 3 times so far but this video is the best I've seen for begginers, none of this OP early stuff ruins the experience (personal opinion) as a started to be strength and dexterity I'm definatly going to put points into intelligence for spells thank you for this video.
Welcome to the fold sir! Remember if you're struggling with a boss go out into the world and level yourself up a bit more and dont forget to upgrade your weapon, its a must! Good luck.
This was a great video, your explanations will help me a ton! I didn't know a bunch of the stuff you covered! Thank You for sharing. You're right, there's a lot to know if it's your first time playing.
This is truly amazing and so helpful! I only wish I had seen it yesterday! Thank you for this and I'd definitely be into seeing another video like this!
this is by far the best walkthrough for this game. now i am actually starting to enjoy the game. thank you so much!
I’ve done nothing but grind and watch videos for the past 4 days since I got Elden Ring. This video did help with a few things I didn’t know!👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you VERY much for an extremely helpful primer for someone who has never played one of these types of games. I feel much more prepared to venture out than I did in my first 15 minutes of game play. I wasn't even sure what the deal was with the blood ghosts!
Well done comprehensive video without a bunch of extra fluff. Nice work and thanks for the tips.
This is the perfect tutorial for me as this is the first Fromsoft vgame and I’m really loving it, but it has a tough learning curve. But I’ve learned so much from this guide so thank you
Probably the most useful video I've seen, regarding tips for people starting the game. Thanks Aiofe 👍
Excellent video for noobies like me. The most discriptive i've found yet. Thanks so much. I'd love to see more video's about any other aspect of the game you'd like to share.
Great video. Nice work! I am getting ready to play for the first time. I will be watching this a couple times to get me going.
Probably the best guide for elden ring I've found till date.
I have to keep an eye on this channel more from now on
Thanks for this!. Super helpful>. Not only do I understand mechanics, but now I know the right questions to find answers for.
Press start, d pad over to the right and you can equip items to your pouch. Once equiped you can bring them up by holding down triangle/Y for a quick select using the d pad. So no need to overcrowd your inventory.
I didn't know about the 70% load for equip load. Genuinely a big thanks for me not being a slug anymore rolling around.
omg thank you! I was so lost, but now im not so lost :) also it was nice that you didn'y give much spoilers but still helped alot
THANK YOU!!! Seriously, I needed this so badly. Keep up the amazing work!
This was SO helpful! Thank you! First time playing this series and I've been so confused lol
Thanks for this. I missed the tutorial section and then got stuck in a cave of goblins before I decided I probably needed to restart and get some tips on CZcams. This helped so much.
This was extremely helpful, thank you so so much! I am going to watch all your videos today (while I'm "working"). Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Great video. I knew it was complicated and was avoiding it a bit. This is a good thing to watch as I play to get it down. Thanks again.
thank you. as a beginner in the souls game, this was a very helpful and must watch guide for me. ❤
Your explanation is so simple and easy to understand. Finally got around to playing this game and it's awesome!!!
Thank you!
TY SO MUCH, been waiting to play this for over a year now & finally got it a few days ago and played for about 20 minutes and got completely overwhelmed hahahahso this is so clutch! thank you
Aoife, the two ‘for dummies’ videos of yours I’ve found have been an absolute godsend. Thank you and great work!
Thank you so much! This is my first game by them and was getting very frustrated but wanted to support a company that put out a solid product
extremely helpful and detailed. i want to see more of these elden ring for dummies series.
Thanks for the info. I usually jump into a game, and then after a day or so I end up stopping to look up videos and learning the basics. Not this time though. This time I am watching first and then I can play without stopping for a while. Used my brain today. lol
Thank you so much! I'm a total newbie and this is a livesaver. I was just going around and killing every enemy hoping to automatically level up
Thank You so much! I had watched a few other videos.. but yours contained what I actually wanted to know.. thank you thank you
Best beginner video I've come across, by far. Thank you!
