Level 180, 109 hours in and now I can actually start the story thank you so much. I didn’t know what the hell my purpose was. I opened up most of the map and didn’t know how to continue I appreciate this video
Lol its ok I knew where to go for main story bosses and got to the mage academy lost to that boss, I was level 40ish I think, got pissed went and power leveled to level 165 after about 2 hours and forgot all about the main story, been kicking noob Island ass bosses this whole time lol. Been playing for about 60 hours so far total
I actually was summoned to the tarnished round table after I defeated my first NPC invasion at the smoldering church.. It's incredible how this game makes you wander around and still progress
I'm not feelin' the open world. It's too weird and too much shit that I start to lose track on what I was going for originally, then forget about it altogether. I've never felt so lost in a from software title.
@@Jason_Van_Stone I haven’t cared for From Soft games in the past but i am really enjoying the open world. I am almost through Stormveil Castle and I’m not enjoying the game as much in that area. I feel too restricted. I love the freedom of the open world.
@@myname8513 dude, right? It bugs tf out of me. The map legend stamps help a bit, but it just feels odd and frustrating for the most part. I fast traveled to some random bonfire and was like "oh yeah!! Totally missed this whole area, 2 days ago" ... It is fun though. I'm enjoying it, especially the familiar overall tone.
60 hours level 101 and ive been started the story its hard but if you have played darksouls or any souls borne then it kinda easy to follow im doing the walkthrough video because i need help remembering the places cuz my friends dont have experience with thos games and they need help with the bosses btw im on the fire giant and melian the swords women
@@ashen3405 Maybe I should do that. Probably gonna go luck up a runes grind guide. I wanna be 100 something when I continue the story. Cause there is soo many enemies that are out classing me and my hits on them aren't significant enough. I play as a knight. Even smithing stones are kinda scarce. I have reached the capital gonna just focus on the story for now if I actually feel under powered will grind it out.
At 6.29 “the courtyard” he mentions with the tree in it is accessible from the north, not the south. Climb up the huge dead dragon and jump to the left. There’s a save point there too. That’s where the base of the tree is. Trying to get thru via the south is either not possible or ridiculously difficult to find. Going that way will lead you to a broken bridge that you cannot get over.
Omg finally some one is saying what to do in this game! Its so unclear. And everybody makes videos about what to do before you start and what you do wrong in elden ring. You have the only video that actually is saying were to go and what to do. Thank you
@@sp-ce you talking about the end of linuria? There's another entrance right next to if you explore. It also requires an item making you go "hmm I'm to go this way where have I not explored" the games is about working it out for yourself naturally and the arrows helps you along. The design is it wants you to come across it yourself.
@@klebyell Nah it is true. the other Golden Arrows are confusing. the game should have made a distinguish between the golden lights on the map too. GOld = Main Quest. Blue = Side/Optional. Since you see there is the Usual Golden arrows from grace pointing to Stormveil. meanwhile theres the other pointing downwards to castle mourne which is not a main story. and there are multiple arrows in Caelid that is pointing literally in multiple directions.
thank you very much, your sum up was very useful. This game is so big and gigantic playing it is just majestic. I cannot even imagine how they managed to squeeze time to create a game like this without any real delay, or additional patch to correct all the mistakes.
Because they did not spend time in missions and road maps that tell you what to do and were to go Its just a big open space and you have figure it out by yourself The npc's also dont really have much to say or give you choises to say or do. And there are almost no cutscenes. The beginning is just some pictures
@@HappyDude1 the first thing you said is the purpose of the game lol. There's no "road map" because if you just b line the storyline you'll get hardstuck immediately. the npc's are really interactive lmao idk how you could say that. and souls games arent cutscene heavy, you must be new here
@@deathhy7590 I am completely new Not really a easy game for new players. I was also new with god of war never played 1 2 3, but that game was much more easy to get into
"This game is so big and gigantic, playing it is just majestic." ... you mean this game is a 50% horse-ride simulator, with a superb boring open world. PS: 2. worst and boring Fromsoftware game of all times imo. Even the Kingsfield Series is more fun. EDIT: Didnt watch any guides or videos yet, i mean, until right now, and am at level 70, and far north... with nearly 60 hours playtime, but torn if i should start to watch further guides, or just drop this shit forever. Elden Ring combines everything that was great about Demons Souls up to Bloodborne/Dark Souls 3/Sekiro, but the open world time stretching is just fucked up, and the boring mini dungeons and relatively repetitiv other minor areas are just killing the concept which i loved about all the previous games. Feels like 33% of the game is actually fun, and the other 67% just forced "horsing-around", beating boring content. EDIT2: I also dont want to cheese my way through with heavily magic focused builds... because then it wouldnt just be boring, but also the easiest souls-borne of all times.
Awesome,. This is the best progression guide I have seen yet. You also clearly showed the optional map areas too, thanks for that! I was getting so confused about what is required for main story.
For the first run, I usually like to go by myself. But for later runs, I really love simple/linear progression guides like this, without useless stuff. If I know my main objectives and how to reach them fast, the rest (weapons/magic/etc) is just a matter of a quick search, until I memorize it all.
that helped a lot, level 110 at 65 hrs game time. just hit a brick wall and did not know where to go, didn't even know there was a snowy part past the great city! this game continues to impress. TY
If you don't want to jump on the roofs in the capitol you can find the huge dead dragon and climb up it to get to the roots you have to climb to get to the boss.
I opened up almost the entire map, beat a bunch of mini bosses, got to level 89 and I just barely now beat the first main boss, and am starting the real story line 😂 this games awesome how it works with however you want to play
I was a bit insecure on keep exploring, as I was getting stronger and bosses became easier which made me doubt about if I was supposed to be on that area before. I wasn't sure if I already have ruined some quests and stuff but apparently im still doing things in order. Thanks a lot for this video
Not quite. This is only main story. You can open a lot of underground regions as well. Lord of blood region/ volcano manor/city of nekron. These areas all have bosses or storylines that lead you to great runes
@@maynardcrow6447 it's really hard to tell. If it wasn't for RU-vid I would have no idea how to progress in this game. Wonder if souls creators have a guide somewhere
@@alecgunter8515 yeah. I don't understand do these creators just accidentally find the insane secrets in this game or do they get a bible size guide to show them.
God yes finally found someone who actually gives us the story bosses and there locations I’m 32 hours into my character lvl. 60 and still have yet to fight any story bosses. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Now I see why it took From Software so long to make this masterpiece! Jesus I've been running around doing absolutely bugger all of the main quest! What a game. This guide was incredibly useful and perfectly pitched. Thank you mate 🙂
A lot of the side content is worthless though. You’ll waste so much time exploring the world getting useless spirit summons and weapons and spells you can’t use for your build.
All I did was progressing my character up to lvl 72 and now that I'm satisfied with the maps to be shown with my powerful upgrades that no bosses stand a chance I can look up this video and see what are the mission/quests in order.
30 hours and level 43 I explored higher levels but still confused and lost to progress story lol! Thank you melooo you rock always with your content! 💗💗💗🥺🥺🥺
After you defeat the fire giant you go to the forge of the giants you rest at the grace site and there is an option to listen to the flames you have to click that to get the cutscene. I ran around the map for super long trying to figure out how to progress never realizing that option.
The BONE FIRES with the fire arrow 🔥 ⏩ design in the map tell you were to go next. You have to explore the pointed area until you clear it and find the NEXT Bone Fire pointing to the next place.
I just want to say how helpful and straight forward this was. Thank you so much, I am 30 hours in and had no clue how to roll credits on this game. Thank you again.
I needed a guy like this I struggle with open world games because there's no sense of direction and I don't know it's to encourage exploration but I grew up on JRPGs I'm used to everything being linear if you leave me to explore it it takes forever so easily to get distracted because you don't want to feel like you're missing out so you try to check every nook and cranny. That's what this game is like for me I'm a sorcerer and they spread our shit out I don't want to make sure I don't miss a really powerful useful spell or a gear for my astrologist.
Thank you man 40 hrs in helping others and beating bosses for them. And I just got lost near the Capital. I thought we weren't allowed in yet so I went back out was killed random bosses and they were hard for me I guess I do have to level up more. If you added levels for each area that would be cool too.
Thank you very much really. I was a poor and lonely without light wandering in the hope of finding a beam of light on the way, Well thank you very much for the light xD
You can acscess Leyndell through Nokron . First you need to kill Raadhan so he can open nokron city Second you need to kill Gargolye duo boss in aqueduc Then u lay down in stone grave , it will teleport you Deeproot Depths Kill Fia's champions boss here nd you will open teleport to Leyndell right after Draconic tree Sentinel. COrrect me if I am wrong
I clearly did something wrong I kill godrick and I followed this guide all the way to the capital gate and it said I need more runes to open the gold seal door. I can't progress. I don't understand 😕 I pretty much unlock most of the map do most of the ruins catacombs, I'm level 120 and still stuck at the beginning of the main story this is terrible. I need help as I cant enter the city 😩
Btw, if anyone wishes to skip majority of royal capital. The go find the divine bridge point of grace and then just use the lever shortcut there to directly reach the end boss of this legacy dungeon
40 hours in, level 90 and i have defeated alot of bosses and mini bosses and didn't know how to go further in the story but now finally with your guides iam able to finish the story thanks alot.👍
@@Ryan-gc3sd now iam at level 150 with 60 hours of gameplay... I did the blood city rune farming which is very popular these days search for rune farming videos if you want to level up fast ..
Elden Ring is gigantic. I'm 60 hours in and learning that I've only covered about 25% of the map. What's crazy is, when I was 60 hours into Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, I was already fairly overpowered and waltzing through most of the bosses. But in this game, after 60 hours, I'm still getting chewed up by regular enemies. Everywhere I go on the map other than the starting area, I'm getting owned. This will easily go down as one of the greatest games ever. It's hard to imagine anything topping it this generation. That's how epic it is.
Yea I'm just not feeling the difficulty. This is the first souls game I've become frustrated with. I know I'm the odd one out, but they could've tone down the difficulty a bit. This game is beautiful and amazing, but dark souls 3 and demons souls are still top dog for me.
@@kevinharvey9500 yo don’t stress too much about the difficulty bro, I’m at lvl 100 now and I pretty much destroy everything. If you feel like you are against a boss that is way too strong for you then he probably is, just go level up and upgrade your gear and you will be surprised at how much easier it is when you are back. The beauty of the open world is that you don’t have to progress in the story to continue playing, you can wait and get stronger from other enemies in the massive world and then come back and clean them all
I love how me looking up RU-vid videos on where to find cool armour pickups took me down this exact path. I avoided stormviel castle after dying too much but after wandering around I think I could do it
Hey, I hope someone can help me. While in the cutscene of the burning of the oak tree my game was crushed. As a result of that, I wasn't teleported to the sky temple location. I tried a lot of times but I couldn't find a way to get there. Does anyone have any suggestions? (I spent like 60 hours on this character and I don't want to start a new one).
Did you ever figure it out? I am at 9:06 where you mentioned currently and watching this video because I do not know where to go. I am currently stuck at the godskin duo and I am wondering if they are required and mandatory to progress the storyline or if there is another way I can go?
I have a question, after i beat the dragon tree sentinal there's something that blocks me from going into the castle, some blue that blocks the path, what should i do?
Find the key for it, after you beat Godrick the grace shows you to go to this castle im the middle of a lake and it also has a Blue “spell” that blocks it, go west of it and you should find a Dragon sleeping in the lake, behind him will be loot and 1 of them is the key for the blue door. You just go up to it and it should say something like “examine the door” and boom your in. It is Reusable too so
I discovered the entire map without progressing the storyline- I'm still a low level- I wondered what I was supposed to do. Thanks for this helpful guide!
i searched for that aswell, i just found out that u can give the shopkeeper in roundtable hold some smithing stone bell bearings (u can search up where to find them its pretty easy) and then she sells u smithing stones from lv 1-8 if u find enough bell bearings, u can do the same for the ghost glovewort`s that level up your spirit summon.
Same. I know people don't like their hands held in video games, but if there is hardly any direction in an open world game, MOST people are going to have to seek help, anyway.
@@Xiatter They should implement an npc noting down our story progression and we can ask him always what to do and where to go ^^ would be cool. No need for ugly UI marks.
I understand your view on this, but that is the reason why it is a masterpiece for me. I love exploring it without someone holding my hand. I love the adventures i have just by going in the wrong direction. That just feel so immersive IMO.
Lvl 170, 356 hours on my character. Messing around through my second plauthrough Ng+. Most the hours I've spent invading people, trying to test classes, and just farming weapons and gear with high arcane levels. It's such a good game. Haha
Im 40 hours in, not a hardcore souls gamer, but I pretty much completed ds3 and bloodborne 100% (or close) without summons. When I really get into it I would say Im pretty good at the games. But now Im really busy with work so I play once or twice a week on workdays for about 4 hours in total, and on my free days Ill just go nuts for 5 hours in one sitting. Im now at lv 56 and trying to figure out where to go next. I think I should complete caelid now, im at the festival but I really want to do the sidequests before radahn because im scared to get locked out of stuff. I see streamers getting past the big lift and getting a lot of good stuff, but I wasnt sure what area was appropiate to do first, thanks for the clearup!
You cannot just teleport to queens bedchamber after you burn the tree, because you destroy the capital and lose the site of grace...no clue where to go
Your pretty knowledgeable on this. I have to level up and progress and I don’t even know what to do…the runes come slower than chilled molasses and then I lose them.
