You can actually get both weapons from the remembrance. All you’ll have to do is find the turtle bell with the mausoleum on its back, bring it down by hitting the white skulls either on its legs or on its back. Once it’s down, go inside and duplicate the remembrance and you’ll be able to purchase both weapons at the roundtable.
This is what bothers me about khraze is he just dumps videos without even doing research. Its been known that these mausoleums dupe boss souls lol, this video was JUST released... Cmon strive for better Khraze. We count on you.
There is no consequence if the champion npc's die at the boss battles, they still appear and reward you at the roundtable hold. Also they can help you farm the area before fighting the boss if you take them with you for farming around their summon sign. I used this in particular to help speed up farming items sets that I wanted.
@@josephobregon4419 I'm not sure - I didnt meet the mage guy beforehand, but I did meet the warrior woman before godrick. They both showed up in the roundtable hall, and both gave me stuff
@@stetonburton5670 same. I guess cause they are a summon it’s not their “real body” so their phantom died which is why they still went to the round table
7:00 The default Ash of War is not gone when you replace it. All you have to do is use the Ash of War you replaced it with on another weapon and it will remove it (so as to put onto the other weapon). The game then grants you back the weapon's default Ash of War (for eg. Unsheathe for Uchigatana) so there is nothing lost.
You dont need to defeat margit in order for rodrika to go to the round table, you can go around the castle and down the cliffside in order to unlock the grace early as hell. I did this on accident but theres a broken bridge beneath the castle, follow the path to the wolves (i suggest avoiding them they are insanely strong early on) and just after them look down the cliffside, theres messages that will guide your descent. Once you get to the site of grace marika will take you to the round table and you can do this at any point in the story. 😬
Yep, that's true. I have Rodrika doing her thing at the Roundtable place, and haven't even tried fighting Margit yet, so I knew that bit of Khraze's video wasn't true, though I wasn't sure why.
Literally watched my bf... run down that way on accident as a green goblin-looking wretch... and didn't die to the wolves. With only a club lmao (he enjoys making any game's character like... disproportionate and ugly lol)
Yeah I haven't even looked at Margit. Just ran down that path with Torrent, passed up all the wolves and unlocked the roundtable with no fuss. Have spent all my time so far just slowly exploring and getting a feel for things before I touch any bosses, you can find a surprising amount of cool stuff.
The no SKill shield art is good if you use shield but don't care about any shield arts, it will allow you to use your right hand weapon art without having to two hand. Blood slash and unsheathing without having to two hand a weapon is clutch!
Definitely! That was making me crazy with the shields I had in the start. Hard to do the unequip mid combat for some sweet unsheath action sometimes. There's one for sale in the swamp area after the Stormveil castle if you follow the road and look for a bonfire on your left, you can get there without actually doing the castle if you can't wait, by finding a passage on the east side of the castle.
Barricade Shield will let you block almost anything, which creates tons of guard counter opportunities even against bosses. Guard Counters are BROKEN!!!
If you go to the Deathtouched Catacombs, the boss drops a talisman that gives health for critical attacks. It's not a ton of health, but early on before you get better gear, it helps with being aggressive since you can often recover the health you might lose trading hits.
Likewise, the tower of return in the southern map takes you to a giant. If you run past you can grab a Talisman that grants HP regen. While its not a lot, its passive and you can easily just sit in a corner for 20 seconds instead of using flasks.
@@gittonsxv126 that health regen talisman works like the items in the previous games that worked the same. if you rapidly equip and unequip the talisman it will continually give you HP back. its tiny but in a pinch where youre caught somewhere and out of estus it can help
That talisman it's good for multi-player only thats way you dont use your estus. The 1st part of the game invest on the sacred tears there are like 5 scattered across limegrave easy.
Biggest mistake I see a lot of people doing is investing in your damage stat of choice too early, when you first change an ash of war on a weapon the base dmg goes down and you rely on the scaling to overcome and surpass that deficit. The thing is weapon scaling starts off pretty terrible and it's not until around B scaling that your weapon will be on par with what its base would be. Usually around weapon tier 4-5 on regular upgraded weapons 3-4 on somber. Other than stat prerequisites to use the weapon you are much better off investing in your core first. Vigor and Stamina and Mind if a mage or otherwise heavily fp dependent. Then start leveling your corresponding dmg stat as your weapon starts hitting its stride where you can then change the ash of war towards the scaling you want.
Most of this is true except when you go mage there's an s tier int staff that you can use until end game. It also boosts gravity spells. Extremely powerful, im level 50 and still one hitting most non boss enemies with my starter Pebble spell. I've been mainly leveling intelligence hardly anything else.
@@amatesamaru Sorta of an exception to the rule in that the staff innately starts at s scaling while nearly every other weapon has to upgrade towards it.
@@amatesamaru that’s the only exception really and tbh being a mage I would still invest heavy into mind first because even if your spells are OP they hit 0 if you can’t cast them.
A little tip, you can double every Remembrance by bringing it to a walking mausoleum. Just hit the glowing stones at it's legs until it falls down. You can do one Remembrance per mausoleum.
@@seanbennett1137 there's only 3 walking Mausoleums in the entire game, So you can only get 3 of the dupes so choose wisely. I recommend beating the entire game before you use any of the Mausoleums, so then you can duplicate for you NG+ playthrough and have some cool gear.
One of the masoleums does not have the skulls on the legs. They are located around the masoleum's entrance and requires you to get on top to do so.. thankfully the creature wanders into a wall where there are platforms to jump onto it.
@@SubZyYT hm. If what you're saying is legit, then there's 4. 2 in the second are on the right side of the map near the physical bodied Horn people and I can't recall where the third one i found was, but it had a bell. All 3 of those I took down by hitting the legs. Lmao, the first one I jumped on top before taking it down. I tried to open the door and it started jumping while my character was in stuck in the animation and I clipped inside it and couldn't get out.
An important note, getting the ash items doesn't allow you to summon the spirits by themselves. You also require a 'Spirit Calling Bell' which you get by returning to the Church of Elleh at night(?) after getting the horse. Speak to the lady sitting on the north wall of the church. Using ashes of any kind is a HUGE benefit introduced in Elden Ring for solo players. They can only be used if you are not summoning other players, but ash summons do not increase the HP of a boss like gold phantoms do.
I had trouble with that. I thought since I wasn't actually a mage build I wouldn't be able to summon. Turns out you just gotta wait for that icon in the corner of the screen to pop up. It's location sensitive and alot of people don't know that it seems
@@eagleforce4116 once you have them equipped in your items slot, if you're in a valid location & your key bindings are default, I believe it's the r button, but you should be able to check your settings if you press esc.
On the other hand, playing overly aggressive can often get you killed. Especially against enemies that you can't interrupt easily. Experiment. Don't stick to one playstyle if it isn't right for your current fight.
Another tip, use mounted combat extensively to be able to ride away from difficult situations (specially for bosses that allow it). For example, Minor Erdtrees are easier on horse and enemies that overpower you in Liurnia East can be defeated using this method. Also, try going to the Siofra River early on after defeating Godrick, many useful items and a way around to Cairn are there.
Erdtree avatars are much easier on foot if you can roll, all you have to do is roll forward into its attacks. Avoid using shields, they hold you back most of the time, make you put more points into endurance than needed and leave you very open when you run out of stamina. Learn how to roll instead, then you can have a weapon in your offhand, specifically one that matches your main hand's weapon type, and you can double your damage instead of dying to lack of stamina, shields are more of a fashion souls thing for me. The guard counter is good, but its not reliable and later on it doesn't do much for you. For a mage, that means having a melee weapon in your main hand and your staff in your offhand, better to have more options! Also, for the Avatar's magic machinegun attack, you just have to distance yourself and sprint to the side once it starts raining on you, or use the horse to get away. Rolling forward strategy also applies for the scarlet avatars in Caelid. You can avoid the rot stomp by staying close or behind the avatar. All in all, the erdtree avatar telegraphs all of its moves A LOT, its very easy to dodge and I would recommend practicing dodge rolls on it. If you're wondering, you can use your coop sign near the stake of Marika near erdtree avatars to practice more after you killed it. Its an easy way to get rune arcs and you're helping other players in need.
@@northernsoul0127 an Erdtree is more of a silly example, but dragons are also easier on horse back, as well as mounted enemies in North East Liurnia, etc. But yes, I am playing a melee and crossbow character and it is quite fun to not use the horse sometimes, but the horse makes things oh so much easier and less prone to "controller damage", if you know what I mean. 😅
@@Andrumen01 I get what you mean, I recently made a dual Ultra Greatsword build and to be honest that is probably one of the cheesiest builds you can make, also its a wizard, and both greatswords scale on intellect. Incredible damage, but slow, and everything staggers on hit.
There's a side path if you want to avoid Margit early on and move on and unlock some stuff first (You don't have to Defeat Margit to get Ashes upgrades). Don't worry about NPC summons dying, they'll still be around (2 characters in Round Table confirmed). Uchigatana's Unsheath is a basic Ashes you can find early on, and "replacing" it doesn't hurt it. You can always give it back Unsheath, for free. Just pick your enchanted Uchigatana, select the Ashes of War you placed on it and select "Undo Enchantment". For the 3 turtle, if you can't find the 3rd turtle check the trees.
@@shadowxhero4953 so you have to go to the ramparts there’s a big dude like the very first boss (the one that kills you and then you start the game) and in a room at the back there’s a pile of bodies, a giant hung up on a meat hook and some dogs. Kill the dogs and there’s a not for the crystalids. You have to make sure you’ve spoke to her a bunch of times in the shack where she is (just before the main gate into the castle) ..hope this helps!
FYI to use the power of a great rune you have to use a rune arc that will give you the buff of the great tune till u die For example Godrich’s gives you +5 to each one of your stats when you use it
@@Quang1999 the best analogy is to think of Embers or Humanity from other souls games but split into 2 pieces. The main piece (the great rune itself) is the non-consumable, infinitely usable part that you equip and get different things depending on whose rune it is. But in order to get the benefits of that rune, you require the second part: a Rune Arc. That is the consumable item that goes away when you use one, but then the boss’s rune itself will give you the benefits until you die. And you can get all the rune arcs you could ever need from an NPC in round table hold
If you put a ash of War on a weapon you don't lose its previous one. you are able to remove it, just go back in like you're going to add another one and there's an option to remove the current one.
Hmm weird, I thought the game literally told me if you remove an ash of war it’s gone forever… that’s why I was going to duplicate them before applying… def not complaining lol
Idk if someone already said this but you can get rodreika (upgrade summons girl) to go to round table hold before margit. You can also go back to the shack she was in originally for a golden seed.
@@dogman570 I believe that’s only if the golden seed actually glitches out and doesn’t show up. If it’s there but you just haven’t gone back to look, she won’t give you one. I had to go back and find it
"Being too cocky and running straight into Margit" that was exactly my first mistake and what made me come search for help on understanding the game better. For some reason i thought i had to defeat it and i just sucked because i couldn't even get past the first boss
I thought it was the progression route lol. I’ve played every souls game . Only games I bothered with platinum on PSN. FromSoft smacked me lol. I went and leveled up which is the only thing that I kinda feel should be a bit more attainable in this particular game. Now getting the right gear and upgrades. H3ll yeah awesome! Oh. Big thing maybe people need to know. You have to buy the consumables to ‘SEE’ co-op help at bosses etc. I spent the first 2 days changing my online settings thinking I did something wrong. It sucked. I haven’t seen a article specify this 1 point
@@Bunny-Bones It's a From Soft game, so this didn't surprise me when I figured it out. There are always a lot of things that you would appreciate them telling you, but they don't. Then again, this isn't, as I said, surprising. They want you to go through the game, figuring it out. They teach you the basics, and those basics are all you need to play it, even beat it, but everything else is something you have to work out yourself. And this game is one that also rewards going off the beaten path, as they want you to explore.
@@Bunny-Bones actually I think one of the crafting books from the merchant at the beginning with the anvil let’s you craft the fingers to summon players into your game. Even better they only take 2 erdleafs to craft so not hard to have enough whenever you need one.
Mine was +5 before Margit and in the save i had deleted beforehand, I had 8 charges i think. They really want you to explore a shit ton before progressing the story.
The Summons depends on who your fighting, if your fighting a boss with minions the Wolves are usually more helpful to take aggro from the minions. If the boss is just one tough mofo then the jellyfish is definitely worth considering as it can tank for you. Also you can duplicate the boss rune's and get both boss weapons, take down the massive turtle things and inside you can duplicate the boss rune.
Jellyfish is really bad, can die in one hit. I recommend you Lhutel, is an incredible tank, for the bosses is one of the best. You can find in the south island, in the Tombsward Catacombs. It's relatively close to the starting place, you don't need a big advance to get it.
@@Zekushion6 You're missing the point, it's worth switching up your summons depending on the fight. There is obviously going to be better tanks than the Jelly Fish but its a good starter. I am going to get the one you mentioned though 👍.
There a summons called mimic tear you can get, it creates a copy of the player(spells and all). It also very tanky, can heal it self, and do good damage.
For new people at Souls games only: to do the back stab move that looks so cool, sneak up real close, like on their coattails close, and then tap R1, don’t hold it. If you tap too early it won’t do it. Standing on their heels close is my tip.
As someone who started with DS3 where you had to hold left click, it took me a bit to realize that DS1 only required tapping it. Tapping was a bit more convenient but the only reason you need to hold it now is for PVP reasons because in ds1 you could tap left click and just backstab someone from some distance away.
the reanimated militiamen are incredibly powerful, they keep coming back to life as long as they dont get hit when they're dead. SUPER useful on many aggressive bosses
the mad pumkinhead guy is awesome too, with no upgrades on his final attack chain does like 300 dmg and can tank bosses for AWHILE, and solo packs of small enemies with all of his AOE it's awesome, Oleg is a beast too spams Spinning Slash seemingly without any regard for stamina or cooldown lol
U dont have to defeat margit to unlock the ability to upgrade the jellyfish!!! All u have to do is speak with the girl and unlock the round table location and u can get that done right away it was the first thing i did!
@@makaiokalahama im not sure. I spoke with her at the shack the 3 times when i first found her and i did that before unlocking the roundtable. After i got the roundtable, she was there and I finished her questline. Then u go back to where she was sitting at the shack for a surprise.
You can find a whetstone to equip any scaling with any of the basic weapon arts. There’s also ones like the magic whetstone that let you put magic and frost scaling on any ash of war.
@@BlobFGC it does not. I had 13 dex on base, and with the godric rune with power i coud not equip a weapon with 14 dex requirement, so no boost at all.
The bleed Ash of war on the katana is much better than the normal unsheath imo. You aren't slowed to a halt while holding it, and the bleed has much better range which makes spacing against bosses and landing hits for those that move away much easier
Duplicate that remembrance first at a walking cathedral, when you find one just knock the skull barnicles off their feet for a bit and they will stop walking and lay down, you can only duplicate one remembrance at each walking cathedral but eventually you'll come across another area with three of them stomping around
I did the same thing with the jellyfish. I chose the jellyfish due to the lower fp cost, but found enemies kept blocking its attack and swapped back to the wolves. Also I think the earliest memory stone is from a merchant at roundtable hold.
@@harrycunliffe1914 no it's not sooner you can buy the memory stone immediately in the game. The turtle castle is quite far from the start relatively. Depending on which way you go of course.
@@amatesamaru gonna have to disagree. you can’t get to round table hold immediately at the start of the game. You either have to visit several sites of Grace that are outside of the eastern area of Limgrave you start in (as in, Grace sites that are in the unmapped areas beyond where you start- 3 total I think if you haven’t beaten Margit), beat Margit, or otherwise break the sequence of the game so that it flags you as having “gotten past” Margit in order to get to Roundtable Hold. The spirit turtle tower is pretty close comparatively when you think about all the traveling you’d have to do for the Grace sites, leveling your character and fighting you’d have to do for Margit, or whatever else you’d need to do to make the game THINK you’re past Margit. Trust me. I’ve done both of the first two options and done the spirit turtle thing both times - far, far quicker to get your first memory stone from there.
Yeah getting aggressive really does help, the fight with godrick had me defensive at first but the more aggressive I was the easier it got, same with the crucible knight gaol fight
1.) you can only summon phantoms in specific locations. this is indicated by the purple headstone symbol right above your weapon crossbar whether this is an area that you can summon in. so if youre trying to summon but the ashes are greyed out on your crossbar, that is why. 2.) definitely get into adding status effects to your weapons like poison, bleed, rot, frost, etc. they can and will add TONS of bonus damage when you put enough hits in. some effects do damage over time while others will just take a chunk of hp off the enemy after a few hits of filling their effect gauge (like what you get when youre being poisoned before youre actually poisoned). i know for a fact that rot and poison do damage over time, and bleed can be super op when the weapon is upgraded enough. 3.) those cookbooks are EXTREMELY important. you can craft items like pickled fowl feet that give you bonus runes upon slaying an enemy for a duration and magic grease you can tip your weapon with to deal status effects as discussed in tip 3. 4.) there are two types of magic spells - sorcery and incantations. sorcery scales with intelligence and can be cast with a glintstone staff, incantations scale with faith and can be cast with seals. i think (?) you can purchase either of those from the twin husk ladies at the roundtable. 5.) Torrent, your horsey friend, has a health bar. you can craft rowa raisins to restore his health and if he dies, when next you try to use the whistle, you will be required to spend a crimson flask to revive him. so like, treat him well pls
Yeah if you talk to her before you get to the roundtable, she’ll show up there. And you can probably just fight a side boss or two to get her there otherwise
The bloody slash on the uchi is pretty sweet, reminds me of bloodborne chikage and outside the hp loss it's pretty spammable damage is awesome it uses less FP but again the hp loss makes it a gamble. The spin slash is also really good at causing bleed for me since you're attacking a bit faster than normal.
I've been digging the holy ash of war (the yellow blade he was using) you basically double your damage during its duration, but you'll be a bit weaker during normal attacks
HP loss is negligible for the amount of damage it gives (atleast early game? i don't know how it scales, and my uchi is only +5). I fucking love it, it just "feels" right on my Samurai.
Some bosses require less aggression or just using ranged attacks. A good example of this is the sentinel outside of the capital. Better to let a special spirit take the damage for you. You can get one at the stranded graveyard in the starting area where you open the area with stonesword keys.
It doesnt matter if the cpu controlled allies die during the boss battle, its killing them outside of combat that causes problems. Its been like that in every souls game
Well no some character in souls games need to survive the battles in order to appear further in the game just like Dark souls 2 Lucatiel of Mirrah or that onion guy in almost every game.
I got to lvl 40 before fighting godrick. Worth it, it was still quite hard. Took a few tries. The allied spirit summons don’t do that damage sadly, but they’re great for taking aggro from you. Edit: if you go and get Luthel the headless, the boss does get quite a bit easier. Luthel is easily one of the strongest spirit summons in the game and you can get her before fighting godrick iirc. At max level she can even solo some of the bosses later in the game.
I was getting my ass kicked at level 30 so I pulled up some online maps of the starting area and I've been doing side stuff I'm level 44 now guess I'll try em again time to put em down
I upgraded the wolves and some skeleton soldier ashes and it helped a LOT to soak up more hits. At lvl 1 the Jellyfish is the tankiest, but with upgrades the other ashes aren't too bad.
Skeletons can take agrro forever because if they go down you can kite the boss for a few seconds and they come back. Only boss it doesn't work on are DoT bosses.
Oleg can take down a fair amount of bosses on his own and you can get him right at the start of the game if you take the unlocking knives as your starting gift. That's what I did, no regrets.
@@13nohead I’m just frustrated because I feel like I’m finding areas that I’m not posed to be at yet. Found a big elevator in east limgrave and it took me to this big underground world
Weapon skills never go away once you have them and the whetstones you can find are what you can use to change the scaling, at no point do you have to do fire damage with a fire ash of war
yeah lots of just complete misinformation in this video, also states roderika moves to roundtable hold after margit.... it's after godrick which that incorrect info had me waste a shitload of time porting back and forth wondering wether my game was bugged til i looked it up elsewhere
@@zeening if you explore stormveil at roderika’s request you can find an item near the grafted monster that will progress her sidequest early and get her to roundtable. But yeah the info in the video is still wrong.
Yeah I believe you do need to meet her and exhaust her dialogue options. After that you need to either defeat Godrick get the item and go back to her. Or explored enough that she will go to round table on her own. I haven’t beat Godrick yet but she is at my round table and I have about four or five of the map pieces plus a lot of sites of grace found. Not sure which area actually caused her to go to round table but think it might have been lake liurnia.
You missed one. Take the um “Boss Soul” to the walking tombs. Destroy the crystals on its feet. It will then sit down allowing you to go in. You can then double the boss……”Soul” allowing you to get both boss weapons.
I haven't gone to the first legacy yet and I'm at the round table and all I did was go to a church and teleport to the red area and then I was summoned to the round table also a tip I learned, buy the no skill ash and a equip it to the shield and then the sword ash will become the priority which is awesome in one-handed
The walking mosiliums dupe rememberances so save them. I think there’s an equal numbers of mosiliums as remeberances but I’ve seen 4 and still not fully explored yet three are in the zone after godrick.
12:05 you can clone remembrances right? Once per giant turtle building. You can find one early game in south limgrave if you want to get both of godrick's thingies
Yes, but remember you can only copy each one, one time, per turtle. No matter that amount of new games. This is a character bound choice. So for example, if you used all of them to copy godrick's rune, it would be impossible to get his rune besides beating him on a new game+
a smart thing i notice a lot of people overlook is macro binding items used often. like the donkey calling whistle. on the right side of option in inventory, you'll see where you can bind them to d pad ^ + Y button. i bind the donkey and my waist lamp to it, since i got tired of accidentally drinking estus every time i meant to call the donkey. also ,the waist lamp is overlooked by many, why ever carry a torch, when you can accomplish the same lighting effect, without taking a inventory slot?
When you are riding your horse, if you hold R2 or L2, depending on the weapon, you can drag through enemies and hit the last one in line when fighting multiple enemies or one large one.
the Mad Pumpkin summon is incredible too, although if you're not careful some of his massive AOE dmg CAN hit you but he'll solo entire packs of small enemies lol, Oleg too is amazing for spamming AOEs and i got both both before margit so not too hard to get
Great video with legitimately useful tips! I've been watching a ton of videos on Elden Rings combat and systems and this is definitely one of the most helpful out of all of them 🖤🖤
You can duplicate the remembrance at the roaming rock turtles temple in case you want both the boss weapons but the temple can be used only once for only one remembrances, so choose wisely. One turtle can be found near SeaSide ruins in South Limgrave
I just kind of starting wandering around Limgrave when I stated out. I spent the first 15 hours or so just playing around in the many caves and stuff in the area. By the time I got to the castle, I was lvl 60, so I had a pretty easy time with it.
Lvl 60 in 15h just exploring around before going castle? Like how, that's tons and tons of runes already. Did you do some special farm or something? I am just curious.
level 60 in 15hrs just "playing around in caves" is literality not possible. Youd need to farm it, like im 30hrs and lvl 60-70ish from just exploring at an average pace, not farming, havent spent longer than 30mins on any specific fight.
@@davidvila5053 it wasn't all that special. There are plenty of ways to get a whole bunch of runes, some of which don't even involve fighting anything.
A tip for new players who are constantly being told to get good but don’t really have anywhere tangible to start. Choose a boss that is parryable like Margit or the crucible knight. They can both be killed easily and quickly with only ripostes. Learn how to parry all melee attacks (usually u can’t parry magic attacks/ huge flying attacks/ aoe’s) in the fight you chose inside and out. Just by paying attention to what boss movement equals which attack is incoming, in order to parry it, spacing and dodging will take a backseat in your brain and become more instinctual and second nature. It might take you 500 deaths literally, but when you are done, and you get a no damage (even 1 or 2 hits taken is an impressive feat) parry only on that boss, you will instantly look at your next hard boss fight in a different way. I almost guarantee you will approach the fight with the main intention of not taking a single hit in the run that you finally kill him. Instead of just surviving it. The fights in this game are clean and orderly as opposed to chaos of bloodbornes large beast fights, or sekiros Friday night funkin timing games. It’s a great way for beginners to get used to learning how to recognise animations, spacing, timing and hopefully the patience it takes to die hundreds of times in order to do the task well. Or just watch tyrannicon and learn how to cheese your way through the parts you can’t do.
I never parry in any souls game because I suck at it, and get by just fine. You’re making the game sound like work by saying you should die over and over again to bosses practising parrying.
As someone who has never played a souls game and is on the fence about getting Elden Ring, this comment only makes me want play the game less. Who has the time to die 500 times on a single boss fight?
I came close to beating Godrick the first time I walked in there. The next 12 attempts were straight ass whippins. Did some exploring, came back with a friend and it still took about 5 tries. The mandatory bosses are definitely tough. Optional bosses seem to be pretty balanced and easy enough. World enemies are definitely easier than previous games. I can’t wait to start seeing the videos of people who’s first souls experience is Elden ring and then they play some actual souls games. They’re going to be in for a big treat because they’re nothing like Elden ring in terms of being this easy. Love the series though. And I hope Elden ring has some huge dlc and a follow up to this new brand. I love open world games. Especially when they have a great story and it’s not regurgitated bs like liberating outposts or some nonsense like that.
@@tb-qf4kt I don’t understand why you’re gatekeeping a beloved franchise that until recently was pretty damn niche and needs all the extra eyes on it we can get.
Note: You can actually duplicate the remembrances at the Walking Mausoleums (the big ass bell turtles) to get everything from the Remembrances. As my knowledge goes you can duplicate used Remembrances too, but I might be wrong about the latter.
Tip for getting scaling on uchigatana but keeping the unsheathe ash of war. Southeast of Agheel Lake, northwest of the Agheel Lake South grace you can find one of the glowing dung beetle things. From what I can tell, you will do the same damage if you apply the unsheathe ash of war and keep it standard, but gets stronger if you pick the proper scaling. I'm not sure if any other weapons share this, but it's something to keep in mind just in case.
You can always just remove the new ash of war on your weapon if you like the default ability better, I've tried multiple things on my uchigatana and just removed them to get unsheathe back if I didnt like them
You do *NOT* have to beat any bosses to unlock Roundtable Hold and Spirit tuning. If you go around Stormveil and rest at the first Site of Grace in the next area you will unlock RTH. As long as you've spoken to the girl at the shack, she will be there.
⬜⬜Regarding the ashes of war⬜⬜ You get the Whetstone knife in the gate front ruins which allows you to freely add and remove ashes of war. You won't lose your ashes or weapon skills by adding them to weapons|shields so experiment freely. There are also 8 Whetstone knives that add different things like elements or status damage
The Main Mistake I have seen is that Huggy Lady Fia at Round Table if you accept her hug you get a Blessing that Increases your Poise but while that is active in your inventory before you use it your max HP is reduced by 5% Indicated with a Red Square and a Down Arrow Icon below your Stat bars on Top Left of the Screen. Either don't Hug her or if you do be aware you will be at 95% HP until you use her blessing in a fight which you can go back and accept the blessing again as many times as you like. (It's a Double Edge Sword thing)
At 10:00 my Ghost Turtles have spawned in completely different locations than you mentioned. One of them took me over 20 minutes to find, eventually I've located him hugging onto the tree behind the tower. He was pretty high so had to look up to find it. Another one was on the shelf below, right side of the tower. They have few spawn points so be aware.
One thing I don't think you mentioned that I'm sure the comments will point out is that you can find these walking castle things with bells under them where you can get another boss rememberance and im pretty sure you can also duplicate your boss rememberances as well, but i forgot how to do that.
Roderika actually can show up before killing Margit. I'm not sure what triggered her but I have yet to find the boss and I can upgrade my summons. Might just be time?
Same here... I'm pretty sure it's because I went past the castle at first and was invited to the roundtable before even fighting Margit... I'm about to go take him down now!
You don't gotta kill ANY boss for access to leveling summons. I have yet to do Margit, and I've just been exploring & finding maps for every area I can reach, which seems to be most if not all. Hell if it ain't fun getting chased by mid-end game enemies! The horse makes all this nor just possible but incredibly fun as well. Combat on horse, despite reviewers opinion, wors very well, amd that was before I learnt all the other abilities and mechanics involved, making it great!
There are different types of Whetblades that allow you to have a different scaling on your weapons apart from the ash of war you want to equip. For example there is one I got in Stormveil Castle that allows me to have a heavy attribute and scaling on my weapon even though I have a flame ash of war equipped to it. Love it so much because with the right inputs the ash of war reminds me of Sekiro!
@@demonintellect9834 I personally forget, but according to the wiki it says "Where to find Ash of War: Flaming Strike: Redmane Castle, dropped by a Teardrop Scarab in a small graveyard along the south cliffside behind the castle. From the front gate, hug right along the cliff towards the ballista, going up and past the vampire bats. There will be a small gap in the cliff that must be jumped across to get to the graveyard." I hope this helps
I have never used the Jellyfish. I used the wolves till I got the demi-humans and that till I got the Banished Knight Engvall. I got him at +3 right now and he wreaks shop. He can solo some bosses, lol. If you don't know, you can get the Knight in the Murkwater Catacombs in Limgrave. Just follow the river north from the Dragon-Burnt Ruins.
I know you all are being like "you must and so on" but its a real pain for someone not following guides and purely playing to escape that bit when u have nothing to actually deal with those ranged mfs. Its to be totally avoided if u are sitting with 8-9k runes that early in the game and are thinking of opening this innocent little chest after wiping a whole camp. I can bet almost none of you commenting here found that grace without dying or looking it up.
I think you mixed up „two handed“ and „dual wielding“ (the latter meaning carrying a weapon in each hand). The two expressions are not interchangeable. But still good, informative video, thanks.
I didn't even know you could summon an NPC to help you fight. I was stuck on Margit for hours trying to solo him. Went and got the jellyfish, summoned Rogier, and I was finally able to down him in just a few attempts, literally decreased the game difficulty by 3x.
Another thing that helped me too is the first dungeon you can use the stonesword key at right before you head into the open world, has a talisman that boosts your health, stamina, and equip load. The equivalent of dark souls FAP ring 😂 all you gotta do is just drop to the secret area and run and get it and boom.
I came across this with a sign in front from a nice person saying "trap ahead" I decided to disregard this and see what happens, took me a good hour to get out haha
I slept on the Jellyfish too, then tried it because I didn’t have many summon options and I was blown away. It’s a fantastic summon for how easy it is to get.
So far the rememberances haven't been suited to my INT/DEX Samurai Sorcerer. Big stuff for strength, faith and arcane builds If you have been in this situation I suggest pushing the Ranni quest forwards to get to the ruins on Liurnias inaccessible southern plateau. You get a big INT scaling sword that is much more suited to magebois.
no. 9: not getting gud jokes aside if you're really struggling with a boss, don't be shy to summon other players, it's a game mechanic lol, dont let anyone say it's cheating or whatever, it's part of the freaking game lol
Hey dude just wanna say your videos have helped me in lots of games I watch all your cyberpunk videos and now you’re helping me through this game haha. Keep it up !!!
@@Khrazegaming Yeah maybe you should do your research before you make a video and try to give advice to THOUSANDS of people. SMH.. Wrong information is the worst information when it comes to gaming and I see from the comments that wasnt your first bad bit of advice! Come on man. You need to strive to be better since you have many subs b/c you giving wrong information is SHIT. You need to edit the video if you can.
@@coopstain1728 hey man, take it easy. This game is very vast and full of secrets that even the most informed RU-vidrs haven’t figured out yet. Everyone makes mistakes, also every RU-vidr is trying to create content and get the info out as fast as possible, this game is one of those that can fool people like Khraze into thinking they see the whole picture, we are all still learning about this game, I understand your frustration but please don’t lash out on the creators.
@@MeatUrMakerZ You are telling me not to lash out at someone yet you are lashing out at me!?!!? Hypocrite if I have ever seen one. LOL! Also guess what... If he is a content creator he needs to be DAMN sure what he is putting out there is GOOD and accurate info b/c with his amount of subs HUNDREDS of thousands of people are going to watch so he doesnt need to be spreading misinfo.
A tip for beating Margit, the once imprisoned. Find a cave midway up the river north of the lake outside the start of the game. Fight the boss in the cave and mid way he will surrender. Stop attacking and let him live and next time you return to the boss room he'll be a vendor. In it he sells Margit's Shackle. This is a tool that locks the boss for a few seconds giving you breating room and time to get in free hits. For those like me who was gated by Margjt for hours at end this will help, a lot.
@@amatesamaru This vendors sells a cookbook that gets you the crafting recipe for golden feet. If you did kill the vendor you'll have a +8 spear in your inventory. If not he does change locations twice and is needed to unlock a unique weapon later in the game. Found that out yesterday.
@@Edanite wow thank you for the info! Very helpful! Looks like I didn't kill him, I was thinking of somewhere else! Not sure how I missed him. Thank you again!!
Don't be scared to change out ash of wars. You can return it to its default ash of war by clicking replace, and as for picking only one remembrance. Attack the legs of the giant rock turtles with bells under them. You can duplicate a remembrance there to get both weapons
You can duplicate that remembrance, I stumbled upon a girly walking building with a bell hanging underneath. Hit a certain amount of the skulls and the legs will start to crumble (be sure to run away as I learned the rubble falling will kill you) then enter the building when it digs itself into the ground. Also keep in mind as I read from one commenter that there are a limited amount of places that can duplicate those and are time uses each.
I've cleared 3 of the main bosses and didn't know about activating great runes! I'm sure like 10 NPCs have told me about it and I wasn't listening closely enough....or it says it on the rune? Going to check that out tonight.
About great runes, you didn't mention the most important part. Once you power up your first one to restore its power, you need to equip it at a site of grace (a new menu should appear when you rest). After that, the rune isn't active yet, you need to consume one of these rare consumables : a rune arc. Once done, you'll see your stats increase or activate the great rune's effect if it's not related to stats. The effect of the great rune you equiped is then active until you either die or unequip it at a site of grace. Be mindful with rune arcs, as you don't get a lot of them throughout the game.Though, you can grind them by helping other players beating bosses.
For the last part of the video ..You could probably copy a save file and add it to a previously saved file then you can get both items to save time from a second run through. I've also heard for the ending part of the game the save file also works with getting the 3 final items and achieving the final achievements all in one go.
Actually it's a lot more simple than that. You can duplicate the remembrance at a turtle castle and get both items easily. Just make sure you actually need them as it's limited.
A thing that i didn't see u show was that , u can use an ash of war that u can purchase of shields , ones specificly allows u to use the skill of the swords with one hand directly instead of having to wield it with both hands to do it. The one selling it is the same one u showed in ur vid its quite handy if u just use it on the early best shield that gives 100 phisical defence. thanks by everything else rhat i didn't know tho hehee❤
Two-handing against Margit was even more punishing than facing the Tree Sentinel or even the Crucible Knight. It's seriously just not balanced on some bosses. Like you did in the video, I was *forced* to summon a jelly fish in phase 2 of the fight to draw his attention so I could actually get in a hit. I finally beat him that way, but it felt like a crutch. I suppose I could have farmed for more levels and better armor so I could just tank more hits in the 2'nd phase though. I also didn't know there was an item specifically for weakening Margit. That fight taught me that skill paramount, but, just like in Monster Hunter, skill isn't everything in Eldin Ring.
As a magic class I used Rogier for the first phase and then the wolves for the second. I didn't explore enough before deciding I was going to kill him. On Godrick I had help from my SO who plays melee and I helped him. I also felt like I had a big crutch and when I moved on I felt under leveled. So I went back and did a bunch of stuff in the first area. Still felt under leveled a bit when I did the next main boss... Got two levels of souls off her, which seemed like too much.
@@MadeOfMilk I keep hearing about this Godrick fellow both in game through NPC's and in the comments, but I haven't progressed in the story since felling Margit. I've also most 100%'ed Limgrave, and I don't think I want to explore that Giant castle until I fully complete it. I just need to explore that peninsula to the south and I'll be ready. After beating Margit and the other two hard bosses in Limgrave, I find every other boss to be laughable. I've beaten some of them with no deaths at all, and there was one boss who rides around in a boat that I literally killed on the first attempt *AND* took no damage at all lol
@@7F0X7 I didn't even go to the south peninsula or fight those other bosses until after stormveil. You are making the right choice, all I did was make things harder for myself.
@@MadeOfMilk There is no right or wrong choice, my friend. I didn't storm Hyrule Castle until I had already spent 300+ hours combing over every inch of Hyrule in BOTW because that was my choice. If you shield rocketed straight from the Great Plateau directly into the inner sanctum of the castle, that's also a valid choice. You're just missing out on so much lore and flavor these worlds have to offer. But it actually makes sense to skip some things in Eldin Ring so you can explore them in a second play-through. You do you, bro!
@@7F0X7 thanks! I had a lot of fun going back and two shoting some of the early sub bosses. I didn't do limgrave caves until I was also lvl 60 haha. I have a 100% Master Mode file in BotW, so I get your meaning. 300 hours before Gannon is super valid. Adventure on friend!
fyi 12:07 you can duplicate your power of rememberance if you find the walking bell tower hit its legs and it will become a place where you can duplicate them in the south. that way you can get both of the boss items.
The blood slash ash of war is a very good replacement for unsheathe! It’s like upgraded unsheathe basically with a trade off being you use your own blood to increase attack power!
I haven't had an NPC helper die in a boss fight yet...however, I have in many Souls games before this one (all of them). The only thing that happens is it says they have been defeated and they dissappear. The boss fight still continues until one of you are dead.
The character that helps with godrick died during his boss fight with me and she was waiting at the round table hold after the fight. I continued her quest line from there. Not sure if it changed anything but atm she is downstairs in the hold telling me she needs a minute. ( this is long after that first fight and I’ve had several interactions with her throughout the world )
I found this helpful and game doesn't tell us this, you can dismount horse by simply clicking crouch button(I keep Torren ring in the pouch so it's easier this way). Nice vid man
Restoring the great runes is not enough to get their effect. You need to first restore and then consume a "rune arc" (which you find in some places or for successfully helping another player in co-op). Consuming the "rune arc" grants you the effect of an great rune temporarily.
I've played/own all the souls games.....I was thinking I'd be doing better than I am at the moment haha. The timing and delays for enemy attacks have been throwing my muscle memory dodges off
Glad to see that you’re so passionate about the game! But dang did you get several things wrong! Haha. It’s okay though. These games are not only infamous for their difficulty, but also for the vagueness of even the game mechanics, how they work, why they are the way they are, and so on. I’ll be here to check out more videos in the future! Best of luck.
Hey, good content but I found the footage too spoiler heavy for a tips video, if you aiming it at games at the start of the game, why would you use footage that's even after limgrave?
You can also duplicate your Great Runes by Hitting the Walking Mausoleums on the legs until the lay down, go inside and you can duplicate the Great Runes (only one per Mausoleum)
If you are whisked away to some far away mine after opening a certain chest in the lake, once you make it out of there along the beach to the left is a dog guarding a spirit ash that causes rot which is deadly for the early game enemies.
