9 CRUCIAL Elden Ring Tips & Tricks To Make You 'Git Gud' And Win Every Fight 

Unless that enemy has an AOE attack.

Also don’t roll into the direct landing spot, u will roll towards the hit hitbox if u mindlessly do it

@@bradmyers5354 lol

@@bradmyers5354 thats why we have jump and roll...

@@youngkim5948 me over here thinking Iframes roll through large hit boxes and wondering why this mans stupid giant axe keeps hitting me even tho I roll it perfect 😮‍💨

Yea that took me a while to realize now I tend to stay on the opponents like glue and just dodge roll at the right point

That and the dodge is primed to activate upon release of the button not the press of it

@@Ghost-yj1xq hmm that’s good information thank you

@@Ghost-yj1xq goated for this info

Dynasty finesse is great even if the enemy is literally stabbing a sword through me aslong as I do the dodge animation it doesn't hit

This is a lesson I'm still trying to learn lol

This is true, but also a bit of a conundrum because greed has won me quite a few victories with close calls. Definitely a gamble though, and best to avoid although SOMETIMES good to apply.

Yeah, I get greedy still, after all these months. I just want to whack away at them. This often ends badly -----

I've beaten every boss so far with the original uchigatana I started with, except he serpent demigod. That serpent slayer is the way to go.

Collosals just power stance and jumping attack. I can posture break any boss in the game easily.

I mean I have to agree you are right. I find it more enjoyable as when using not only one weapon your combat gameplay varies a bit more and I have to admit that fe. first boss in Sorcerers' Academy (magic wolf) was pretty tough to hit with collosal weapon I was using so undeniably it is sometimes better to even fight with much less upgraded weapon, still being more efficient

@@11ujujz47 mmm

No, but, if I die spamming light attacks it just means I wasn't spamming fast enough!

I went East..... I went East 🤦

@@dennell we all did. And after that we went west and were wondering wtf was going on with these trashys.......

I'm having trouble in Stormveil even though I have a +3 Uchi Haha (try not saying that from now on!).. which leads me to believe that the only reasonable conclusion is that I am just really not cut out for games like this. I really wish my ADHD and anxiety would stop excluding me from games. :(

@@Tcrror Don't worry about it! +3 is not that high to be exploring Stormveil, I think my weapon may have been +6 by then, and even so some of it gave me trouble... Go and explore Limgrave & The Weeping Peninsula - there's a lot to find there, and by the time you come back to Stormveil you and your weapon should both be higher level. :) Interesting you say about anxiety - when I played Dark Souls, I used to get that going into new areas, or getting to a new boss. I found everything intimidating and stressful (why did I stick with it, lol). Now there is none of that - sure there is adrenallin in difficult fights, but I no longer get the anxiety going into new areas or coming up to tough bosses. The fear of death has been beaten out of me, haha. Stick with it and I'm sure Elden Ring will do the same for you.

@@sampeacey4854 Wow, thanks! I was expecting ridicule and I got love, instead. I will try! I'll go exploring the places you suggested, as well.

Nah thats the annoyance of bosses. You can know the moveset and get unlucky. Happens all the time

Very true! My battle with Godrick went about 4 hrs of me dying over and over before i finally put it all together and put him down.

From a non caster pov, most people feel like they're trash and just working off of broken RU-vid builds with no skill put into it, as most are, and I normalize ganking them in my fight clubs.

Yes this is true but some spells are definitely harder to get off like that especially the rock sling

It's very inconsistent and annoying. I've noticed certain spells like flame sling actually go further and will hit the target better if you don't lock on. While other spells almost require lock-on to work at all. what makes it even worse is it doesn't tell you if you're out of range.

tip for casters: have a weapon in your main hand, with staff in off hand. make sure main hand weapon has bloodhound step ash of war on it with magic, sacred, flame art, or cold infusion(depends if youre a faith based caster or a sorcerer). now you have the ultimate mobility to create distance so you can cast more comfortably, if an enemy likes getting up in your face.

@@internetspectator6051 literally run that build myself, it provides great mobility and none of the usual drawbacks of casting magic. At least not for someone who can easily two hand some claws and dice yo shit up

True, i used to level up vigor+ dex and str equally which was a mistake

Yea the first 10 points in health is way more valuable then the first ten points into damage.

I know what you mean.When I finally beat the first boss the Tree Sentinel I had a good adrenaline rush,and screaming who’s the boss now.

Love this!! So true!

FG was way too easy in Bloodborne. Always beat him 1-3 attempts.

Depends on your stats... also NG plus I killed him first time even though he hit a lot harder, unfortunately i rushed the OG game and lost out to plat trophy... so will be attempting the whole gane again 😅​@joewas2225

yes pls

I love your guides, part 3 please! 😁

Yes... Please!!! ❤️

Yeah its like following an additional questline. It made me excited to play

And then do a faith build 🙃

I've been playing Souls games for around 10 years at this point and even now, I still often forget to roll towards the attack. I want to kick myself sometimes :D

I sucked at all the souls games until I realized I should roll towards them for DS1 and into their flank for DS3 and Elden Ring (though in Elden ring rolling is not as important as combining all the defensive and offensive mechanics together to take advantage of the seikiro-esque stamina limit of enemies). Everything changed for my play style after learning to use s to my advantage.

tip: when for vigor-health, you have a health debuff which is the red box with a down arrow (under your stamina) this is from hugging Fia in the roundtable she gives you an item called Baldachin's Blessing which if used gives an increase in poise but also regains the 5% hp loss

Swift glintstone pebble is good for this too, if they keep rolling spam the first two shots then wait half a second for each of your next shots, I’ve found it confuses both AI and players in pvp because if they were to roll again to try and avoid ur next shot u waiting would get them at the end of their roll

personally i never use the arc stuff anymore, in pvp everybody can dodge them also. if you want fast stuff use carian blade spells... i use the slower but bigger adulas moonblade, that also staggers so most of the time people can dodge what they want but they are going to get hit and stagger, then roll and i hit them again with it

The arc spell is also useful for cutting through shields.

This, sometimes all you need to win is a break

Godlike tip wtf!!!!!

Just spend all your runes. Then doesn't matter if you die while learning

Because dying creates struggle. Overcoming that struggle is what this games vision is. Get good is the proper response

@@lawless7859 The stupid term is Git Gud. Because that's how it's used to just insult rather than provide any proper help. Not everyone has the same approach to learning, just as not everyone will jump to the same conclusions, but then you wouldn't know this given your comment. "How do I get the meteroite staff" - "play the game". Fine example of someone just being an ass. The same applies for get good.

@@Kindlesmith70 So you like for someone to wipe your ass for you? Thats cool, but DS games have never been meant for that. The game is supposed to be the way it is. Party of it is figuring it out. Don't like it then like play something else. Think deeper, not all games are made for you and your playstyle in mind.

@@lawless7859 False equivalent. Failed insult. You tried. It's not Dark Souls. Just pointing out that while there are similar mechanics it isn't Dark Souls. I've had this conversation before with a friend. The game is literally called Elden Ring. There are some major differences to these games which do impact gameplay (tell me you aren't so dim to not know the differences). Different topic this will become which I'm not going to comment on anything regarding this. Facts are facts, and you are entitled to a limited view opinion. "Don't like it then like play something else." That sentiment is completely true imo. I will clear the misconception - I like the game, but this game could have been far better. Again, not being Dark Souls, the developers could have pushed to improve upon the game, but failed to do so. I'm not alone in thinking certain design choices could have made for a better game, and many of those choices could have been ignored by stuck up individuals like yourself, and those who just simply don't want to use those aspects. There is ZERO loss for make implementations to allow people to play the games the way they would like so long as all who are playing together are fine with it. My statement for being stuck up being accurate from your comment : "So you like for someone to wipe your ass for you?". The mentality " I am good at game, so everyone else get on my level, the game is fine the way it is" is so bad for the gaming community as a whole. I'm saying it politely, but everyone knows this isn't how people push that statement across (just as you have). Your way is not the only way a game can be played. While developers don't have to make a game so they can actually make more money and please a bigger crowd, it certainly wouldn't hurt them to to make the game with optional styles of play. As for co-op, it goes hand in hand with open world nicely, just not the way it was implement for Elden Ring. It was a missed opportunity for an awesome game mode. Also to clear a misconception, I've soloed Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, The Old Hunters DLC, two difficulty levels of Nioh above the easiest one, and this all without summoning help from anyone. (Demon's Souls I actually had to play offline because the online feature was no longer active). I've been soloing Elden Ring just fine atm without assistance. Am I l33t enough for you? Yeah I lowered myself to your level for moment to just make a point how dumb this thought process is.

@@lawless7859 I'm not even sure what "So you like for someone to wipe your ass for you?" what's even meant to entail. Have you never wanted to play a game with friends just to play with friends? Maybe you don't have friends, a very wild assumption. It would make perfect sense for your thought process. "DS games have never been meant for that." So what? Can I point out the thousands mods that exist for the hundreds of games, that change the games in ways the games weren't built to be. While not official, without these mods, some games would never be as popular as they are. Proof that a developer's design choice is not always the best choice. Some devs will provide ways within their own games ways to customize the experience of their game, and these devs are amazing for understanding what it means to make a fun game, "fun" not being the same for everyone. So basically you are saying FromSoft are a bunch of stubborn arseholes, or are very sheltered people to not understand this very basic principle. Well, considering none of the games have actually evolved from early design I am pretty much inclined to agree with you. The games do carry over a lot of problems, and just have added more with Elden Ring. If you don't see them, that is ok. As long as you and your l33t ilk are having fun. Pretty much the sentiment. -oooo shot fired lol

wait wait, so can you use "barricade shield" and "scholar's shield" at the same time? I thought the game did not allow to double buff weapons!

@@pyrokinetikrlz One buff is from a sorcery spell, one is a weapon art, and the shield is never being unequipped. I don't know if that's legit, but I could see a case made for buffs stacking in this case.

To the OP, I just died repeatedly to a Black assassin type mini boss in the lake catacombs of the same description, close quarter situation with no where to run and an agile assassin leaving me no room to cast or gain distance. I'm absolutely trying this kind of combo the next time I get on!

@@TrairFrair Wait isn't the shield's ability and the one from the Rapier both Weapon Arts? Im so confused.. The Magic Shield Upgrade is on it's own.

@@chaosinfernoid9008 Yes both the sword and the shield would have weapon arts, and in that case the shield art will take priority. In the case where you are relying on an impenetrable shield and rapier pokes and guard counters, odds are you're going to be hard pressed for casting time anyway so it's a small inconvenience. But again, that assassin has me scrambling to find an additional playstyle for my build! That's my take and you can always use a solid shield with "no skill" weapon art to make sure your weapon gets its powers used instead.

Where is Mohgwyn Mausoleum?

@@larrytate1657 in you mom

Forreal me too. I swapped it to L1 and its soo much easier to overly panic roll lol

Same. In most other games rolling is a good way to make a lot of distance quickly, and even though almost every game with rolls has s, i always use it for the distance. But rolls in elden ring seem slower than running, so you HAVE to rely on the s, and i can't really get used to that.

Also make to use your runes 😃👍…but, this is what I do as well.

Or git gud and kill em on first or second time

@@DnVFMVs the people doing that usually aren't on their first playthrough or have experience through other souls games, which they would gain from dying a lot in

as a mage, I've a full build for every part of the game of it on my channel if you're interested

Glass cannon ftw.

Vigor is always my dump stat. I can't help it. I don't like building a stat whose sole purpose is "you can make extra mistakes" in a game where 9/10 deaths are because of your own mistakes.

That’s a common misconception. Damage is good but this is also a game where enemies can chunk your health. It wasn’t as much as a problem in other souls games but now boss can get very close to 1 shooting you.
