12 Mistakes You Really Need To STOP Making In Elden Ring | Elden Ring Tips & Tricks 

Yeah, ‘duplication’ is a bit misleading. It’s more like adding 1 from the bosses you’ve already beaten

@@Ennello to duplicate means makes a another one. The quantity ranges from 2 to infinite. So he is using the word theoretically right.

@@fidgetwidget9116 you can make 1 from zero, can't make 2 more if you have 2 already. that's not really duplicating then, right? Duplicating would mean you'd need one in your inventory in order to get more.

Edit: this is wrong If you haven't used a remembrance, but it is in storage, you can't duplicate it though. I'm currently in one of those "dogs" and it's giving me no options to duplicate one

@@Spencer-wc6ew i've seen mausoleums that would only let me dupe certain remembrances... Ancestor Spirit & Astel for instance, but not Radahn. Could be this too

@@ThatScrubWolf same 🤣

Wait what

@@sonjiaj1156 at the giant bell rock dudes you can get another remembrance once per guy. Even if youve already used it to get a boss item

Hy

That part made me say "hold up it's not gone forever" glad someone else already said it

Nice. Thx.

Thanks , I got to fighting Malekith before I realised about summons 😂

Oh damn that's what it is! Thanks!

Lol this is so helpful, I always thought it meant there was a dungeon nearby... Spent a lot of time looking for nothing apparently.

You are the SAVIOR. God damn it how many times I questioned this. Thank you!

For the giant in both games I preferred to be near their feet and roll when they try to stump me.

Forward is better for most enemies usually because it puts you either at their side or behind them. Their attacks are usually ranged at the length of their blade forward so you’ll avoid whatever counter they hit you with. Then you can hit their unguarded side or behind. Of course this doesn’t account for AOE attacks/spells that require running away.

I'll give this a shot. I'm always getting killed

100% Agree. I was able to beat that bog gargoyle thing in front of the Beastial Sanctum rather early by rolling towards it.

Lol was actually talking to a coworker who bought the game on my word about this. He asked me for advice and I told him, “This will sound crazy, but don’t roll away from your enemy, roll towards him.” He gave me this look like he thought I was trolling him.

The hp debuff only stays as long as u hold her consumable in your inventory, you can do her questline without worrying about the debuff

@@crazy8slayer Exactly! Once you kill Rannala the moon queen(The boss you respect from) Go to roundtable hold and speak to her to start the quest. You don't even need to talk to her before that point

Who cares? I avoid her because she's a woke sjw.

@@coryc1904 how?

@@coryc1904 You must be on some good drugs

Same. That little tick of hp goes a long way

Maybe you two. I never survive like that XD

I've read that the hug gives you a poise boost as well, so it's a buff and a debuff in one.

@@gearzdesign you only get the poise buff if you use the Baldachin item she gave you, when you next rest at a grace the heath de buff will be gone.

If you used the hp regen talisman and hp regen buff from flask you'll see it a FUCK ton more lol. Seems to be similar to runescape tick eating. Knocked to 0 in the same instant I regen and live

They're sweet, until you get the albino brothers.

They are nice tanks early game for sure.

@@coryc1904 i can summon albinos?

I went; -Godrick Soldiers you mention -Raya Lucaria Soldiers -Leyndell Soldiers

@@sgt.thundercok4704 another good one is a crossbow user (got her yesterday), you get her by going through a unnamed cave in 2nd area, that leads to hut, she's there with a dead wolf. I find her very helpful, she keeps her distance while rapidly firing bolts which can aggro.

Doing the Lord’s work (thank you!)

Thanks for this

Fia's debuff isn't really a debuff tho

@@bungiecrimes7247 your max health is reduced that's a debuff

Thank you. I don't get why this isn't done by the creator

Torches are pretty good weapons though...

@@Obikin89 if you'd rather have a torch instead of a shield or any other weapon, thats your preference and good on you. imo I'd rather have a shield or a talisman in my offhand and not have to worry about losing light every time i have to switch in a dungeon. also torches as a weapon lost their effectiveness to me almost immediately lol

@@SinglExplosiv The point is you can deal more damage with a torch than with any early game weapon on quite a lot of monsters, especially those weak to fire or resistant to physical damage. And it's just fun to beat bosses with a torch. It's obviously not the best weapon in the game, but it's not as bad as many think. The only real drawback is you can't deal a critical strike with them... But just attacking regularly while the monster is stunned deals as much damage. So just play whatever you want. Just don't disregard the torch, because they are very solid options in many situations.

Plus there are different torches that do different things.

The light from the lantern is kind of pathetic, I'd rather have a torch or the starlight spell tbh.

THANK YOU FOR THIS. The stupid skellies outside followed me in and while trying to kill me, slaughtered her instead. Will do this tonight

I don't understand that name for it. I mean, simps don't get hugs from who they're simping for, lol

@@jimmysthoughts8571 the tarnished is only getting hugs and doing her bidding, then she goes to bear the prince of deaths child. Idk sounds like simp energy to me

Jesus Christ how have I never heard about this. The fact that you can’t fall while attacking comes up all the time, even as a method to navigate the invisible bridges. But it never cross my mind to use it to test if it’s lethal in the first place. Although word of warning that doesn’t always work, some ledges are so rocky and inconsistent the game doesn’t properly register it as a potential fall. So just be careful and try not to do that in locations where the ledge is really uneven

Ohhh that's a good one

I never will be fast enough xD I managed all games without them extra souls So yeah

so would it be worth killing most merchants to consolidate their inventories in one place? or is there a downside

@@ShadonicX7543 downside. A lot of them may offer quests and what not. Just drop a marker beside them to help remember where they are at.

3. You can respawn killed npc's using a celestial dew at church of vows. However some important quest npc might or might not respawn (still a bit untested)

@@ShadonicX7543 it would be easier to get shops in one place instead of constantly hunting them down.

None of them have quests , just kill them all so you don't have to travel .

Thank you!

This too! Look at the wiki for which sets of weapons (some arent weaps tho) you find most attractive, then duplicate to get those! No point in accidentally locking yourself out of a weapon/spell/etc because you duped without thinking

Quick question mate. I've killed malenia got her weapon and than I started a Ng+ can I still get a duplicated rememberence?

@@Lusor_Elges Not unless you have the remembrance on you. Otherwise, you’d have to go defeat her again.

@@burankublank2763 i dont have her rememberance i used it already for the weapon. So that means ill have to fight her again, its ng + so it shouldnt be that hard with enhanced stats :D

@@burankublank2763not true unfortunately. I believe you carry remembrances into new game plus but they’re unusable until you beat the boss again. When I saw carry I mean as a potential method to duplicate them, I’m honestly not sure if the second time you beat them just actives the remembrance or activates and gives you a second. Good idea to do that all before ng+

Especially if you use the rune talisman which gives you 20% extra. With the foot that's 50%.

How long do they usually last?

@@georgejestra7747 Not very long, a couple minutes at most

3 minutes.

@@georgejestra7747 3mins

Did the same thing, I don't feel bad though. I gave him too many chances throughout the series.

I let him live but then he got me with the trap chest so when i returned agian it was the end of patches

So it's not guaranteed but apparently npcs you kill can be revived at the church of vows as well as making any npcs you may anger non hostile. It requires a celestial dew and patches may be an exception but shop keepers can apparently be revived there.

I did that same thing last night 😭

@@Jackraiden500 only de-aggroed, no revives

Also if someone is helping you fight a boss, they have half the amount of healing flasks so you need to take agro so they don’t die

@@DigitalPhoenix. HAHA FUCK NO! if the boss manages to clap their cheeks before their backs give out from hard- carrying me

@@DigitalPhoenix. frr this one some ppl forget yes I can pump out damage Ik the boss but when things do go wrong I only have three health flasks while the hosts normally has about triple that

That's a general thing with big bosses. Normally the bigger the boss, the save you are just hugging him constantly during fighting and the smaller, the more you should stay at max range

Is (somber) ancient dragon smithing stones different from somber smithing stones?

@@Garret772 Yes, Somber stones are used to +10 weapons that cap at +10, the normal Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones are used to +25 weapons that can be enhanced to +25. The last upgrade for both types of weapons use special stones that you can only get a finite number of each play through. I think it's somewhere around 7 for the somber ancient dragon stones, and like 10-11, for the normal ancient dragon stones. Per play through.

When I start NG+, I have my sights set on dual-wielding Ordovis’ Greatswords!

(Me who uses just about every weapon I find in rotations) well sh:t, which weapons do I use the ancient stones on? 😭

New game plus my D

@@Beezer1742 my D ? Pause lol

For real now I’m struggling to go back to do all the bosses i missed I also think it was a mistake to not mark the bosses that I would come back to on my map

@@n00boob89 Marking flask upgrades is also a useful thing to do, so you can just check the interactive map and see what you have missed when you feel you need some upgrades.

i did the same thing

Also to add onto this,you can I lay replicate main boss souls at bell mausoleums

How ??? Nvm i see how, but i accidentally used the first bosses remembrance for runes , is his worth duplicating ?

dang thank you! i though i screwed up by using them

@@perc3136 I haven't played the game enough to know how many many mausoleums there are, so if there is a small number of them it's probably best to hold off on duping them. From what i can see, there way more remembrances than mausoleums in the game, so you do have to make those decisions. Godrick's axe isn't very good, but his dragon is really funny, so I always at least get that. It really just depends on your build.

Why wouldn’t you talk to her? She gives you a pouch when you talk to her after you get your first great rune, so there’s a good chance that’s going to happen again

@@PatheticApathetic Why does it matter why I didn't talk to her? It's an open world game. There are a thousand things to do and talking to an NPC after I got a Rememberance for a sorcery-heavy boss on my faith character wasn't high on the list. Just because she gives you a pouch once isn't really indicative of a pattern.

@@shadedblue6893 not indicative, but pretty suggestive

@@PatheticApathetic one instance of anything isn’t indicative OR suggestive of a pattern

@@twoshu8940 it absolutely is in video games

I've had similar situations where it looks safe to leap...but a big NOPE. Walk of shame back to get runes.

I showed a buddy of mine how rainbow stones work.. he then proceeded to see it shatter and still jump.. I'm not going to let him live it down

you don't need the stones to check drops just go to the edge and attack if the drop is survivable you will go over the edge! if its not survivable you will just keep attacking

@@carlhaag7102 this is true but not while on a lift (learned the hard way)

@@jadenosouvanh4202 If you’re not an idiot you won’t have that problem. This should go without saying.

Mostly good info, except you don’t make the weapon 50% stronger by two-handing it. What happens is you get a 50% increase to your strength stat, at 66 strength two-handing a weapon artificially makes your strength go up to 99. Meaning if you have a weapon that has S scaling with strength, two-handing it will give a lot more damage. But if you have a weapon that scales very well with Dex and only a D with strength, you won’t get much benefit from two-handing.

Kemper- then tell me how I was doing slightly more damage double handing the staff? I went from needing 4 spell casts to kill down to 3 w 2 handing the staff. Without levelling.

@@Bleax *They don't* , I tested it for myself a while ago. Neither magic nor stealth dmg increases while 2 handing (even if the stealth critical is inflicted by a STR scaling weapon, magic dmg might scale for STR scaling Faith seals but I'd have to test further). Critical hits due to stagger (when part of the enemy has that bright orange "light") do for sure scale though. As to why he might've needed less hits to kill with everything else being the same, it's simple. 1. Enemies receive more damage while they haven't detected you, no matter the source. 2. Enemies' stats seem to vary by spawn. Meaning in a group of, let's say, 10 enemies, 2 might have increase stats despite looking identical to the rest. It's not the same ones everytime either. Found this out by farming Tree Guardians near the Dragonsbarrow Fork in Caelid and using the Carian Slicer. Another fun thing this farming run led me to find? Magic is fully silent to enemies, even if hitting their friends 4 feet to the side. A physical weapon hit on the other hand will aggro them to the location of it, regardless of what it hits.

As a mage, I just use shift + attack when staff is in right hand to do the special move I thought. Weird.

Yep, this was my first souls game. I didn’t start leveling vigor till about lvl 70. I am now over lvl 200 and have 100%ed the trophies

@@infamousjustice7083 I'm very interested to know if you do any competitive multiplayer or invasions? Do you get matchups ok at that level? In previous games by from soft you started to have to wait a very long time for matchups if you went over level 125. This was to do with the game not wanting to match you against a much weaker player. There's a big debate in the elden ring community about what level is safe to reach without damaging your ability to do online features. I am currently at level 151 and can still get matchups fine. If you can play online no problems then likely the softcap will be a lot higher than previous games. There are some crazy people who still think the softcap should be around lvl 130!

Honestly in my opinion get your main stats to 15 and 20 then level vigor by 10 wich will give you a very good baseline into any build your doing. It's what I do with every souls gane I've played and it works great

Dont matter too much for casters, We will die real fast anyway. I see ppl going too hard on vigor, It takes away the challenge for me. I think you should die with 2hits on games like this

Yeah. Vigor is arguably the most important stat in the game for melee players. Reach the minimum STR/DEX requirements for your weapon of choice, then raise your Vigor to at least 30, preferably 40, ideally 50.

Totally agree

Best tip ever. A blind play through would have been EPIC but thanks to RU-vid its just amazing lol. Funny how much RU-vid can ruin

Get the lantern it frees up your hand for a weapon or shield

@@MR_DOME St. Trina’s torch is pretty nuts though..

Either my luck is bad or spells do not do the same thing, have had casts send me to my death (looking at you, lightning spear).

@@Skenjin i feel you XD

@@Skenjin It's definitely possible spells or throwables don't have the same block to stop you. It feels super sketchy to do it this way but I'm too lazy to use rainbow stones every time. After awhile you get a feel for what's going to kill you anyway.

This doesn’t always work for some reason tho

I just wish we had the roll protection they have. Would be real nice to be able to dodge and not worry about rolling off a ledge to my doom.

im 183 right now and things are still hard for me.

@@mikeduff2070 dude did you farm runes ? Or level up legit ?

It says the same in the english translation so either the translations are wrong or it's bugged and isn't working the way they intended

I know it says that, but I was disappointed by my first mausoleum, wasn't able to do anything there. I should have been able to clone Godrick's Remembrance 🤷

@@madmorgo6233 Did that mausoleum have a bell? Demigod remembrances (like Godrick's) can only be duplicated at mausoleums with bells.

@@duskblade1119 one of my mausoleums is glitched out. It walks around but it doesnt have any glowing skulls on it.

i keep them till im a few runes shy of a level or before i fight a boss so if ever i die and unable to collect my runes i wouldnt mind

I've always used the soul items as a bank. Lol. I try to save them forever and stack up loads. If I have to use any runes to buy items or level I only use the lvl1 runes since you can pick them up literally everywhere and I usually have like 50-70 of em

yeah great point!

Is it a consumable or can you switch between these runes?

@@crestfallenwarrior5719 You can change the great rune based on your needs for different buffs, but you'll need to consume a rune arc which is a consumable item to activate the effect of the great rune. The runes are quite powerful so it makes sense that you will lose the effects on death and you have to consume a rune arc. I'm using the rune arcs sparingly and I have 15 atm and I could buy a few more from some vendors, but I'm saving them for some of the bosses that might cause me trouble ..for "regular" enemies you don't really need them imo, and if you use one you will have the effect until you die so if you are confident enough you can roam the Lands Between with the buff :D

@@asodalis695 ahhhh something like humanity, then?

​@@crestfallenwarrior5719 This is my first "souls" game so I had to look up what "humanity" is in the others, but yea it's something similar. For invading other players you will have different items. The runes will give you a certain type of "buff" (for example raise your HP, flat bonus to your basic stats etc.) and you can switch them at a place that would function as a bonfire in the other games but in this one these sites are called "Sites of grace". Apparently you can farm the rune arcs that are needed to activate the effect of a Rune from rats, but the rune arc is consumed upon use and who want to spend their time killing rats when you can kill awesome bosses :D I also try to kill the bosses without a Rune first, because having the effect feels a bit like cheating because they significantly boost your power.

yeah golden was great for my mage, Cant make mistakes with her or I'm dead 😅

Does their inventory reset or is it just a large amount ?

I don’t think the bell bearings have infinite somber stones so far only my somber smithing stone and my + 2s are infinite

@@ThatThomasKID18 then you haven’t found them all

@i have no mouth and i must scream cant, those are limited to a finite amount, i think its like 13 per play through

@i have no mouth and i must scream any stone except legendary ones

Not all of them. Can't do it with Redahn or Morgott

yup, they drop a ball bearing. But whilst the first merchant is quite easy to kill, subsequent ones can get pretty tough. I learnt that the hard way, even though I didn't mean to attack them anyway (second one I accidentally hit his horse, and he didn't like that one bit 😆)

Efficient, but in exchange of being a dick to the merchants

@@metalhead351_of idgaf they are computer data

WHAT

Has anyone discovered if there's actually a downside to this? Like, do they give you quests? Does it affect quests? The ending?

I'm about 70hrs in game but not near the end. Had two great runes in my eq and the amount of rune arc I've had wasted was tremendous. Until that one moment when I sat down by the lost grace(hope that's the name of rest points in English) and read through all the possible options to choose from the list.

Yes! There's a dungeon that has two areas that look exactly the same. I knew something weird was going on, but didn't know what until I dropped a rainbow stone in the middle of a room.

I usually kill all NPC's before going to ng+

It was the best souls game. Still haven't gotten all the endings

It doesn't have to be deliberate. If I'm correct fighting Starscourge Radahn can suspend certain quests because of the magnitude of the event that lets you fight him and what happens during it (a lot of npcs, some you've already met flock to the festival grounds). You will be able to access them again after you kill Starscourge Radahn. Good luck my friend :] you simply didn't know you were locking yourself into a boss fight

@@ghoulishgoober3122 Yeah that's a good call. Just beat him yesterday and all those quests opened back up. Very relieved.

I did the same with saving Rennala for later except I decided to do all of Caelid. Funnily enough I found Dragonbarrow pretty easy. Started Caelid around lvl 40, finished on high 60's.

This is how role playing should work. This is what makes it the joyful adventure , every player has a super different experience.

Round table?

Smithing stones are 2, 4, 6 and Somber is 1 per tier...you don't save materials. Not sure about runes.

@@jasonspitz3922 the smithing table at the church uses 6 for first level and the one at the round table uses 2

You actually get better like this if you over level content you will learn nothing

@@andraenavarre3813 I get your point, but I'm not suggesting you over-level, just appropriate-level. There's a reason there's a ton of Limgrave to explore.
