Soulsborne NOOB Reacts to EVERY ELDEN RING Trailer! 

Ay hopefully the VOD is on the channel when it's done. Good luck man

@Rickyplaysgames it's up now! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

Thanks so much for this, I'm really hoping this playthrough will skyrocket our community too! Its been so fun having so many people to share these awesome experiences with and im confident this one will be even better!

rip to Akira Toriyama 🐐

@@KingdomAce the goat man truly had a beautiful mind

I'll try to remember to do so!

@@KingdomAce There is just SO MUCH lore to be discovered on your journey that you better just watch VaatiVidya's videos about Elden Ring lore on youtube because the lore is crazy huge. All of his videos about the lore are about 7-8 hours long, plus he will be doing some more lore videos about the upcoming expansion so probably like 10 hours of pure lore lol. Imagine how long would this take you to figure out on your own. In order to understand everything, you would also probably have to play the game multiple times because there is no way to do all the quests in one playthrough + there are 3 big endings and then there are also some... alternative I guess is the word for it ? ending, which also might tell you a bit more about the lore.

​@@DW_1306nah vatii has mid lore...

A Game of Thrones is only one book. But yeah, he did write it.

@@bryancollier704 yeah but i figured GoT would be more well known than A Song of Ice and Fire.

Ahhh okay thanks, i never saw the show or read the books before

@@KingdomAce You definitely should watch Game of Thrones and maybe react to them too, that would be awesome.

Ah okay, this was super insightful, thanks! I appreciate this! I hope you'll be there when I experience the game first hand! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

Im looking forward to it!

You bet I am! Tomorrow!

@@KingdomAce where bro? Have to watch it

intelligence is just faith but with more range and cool blue rock

@@silenceyang6980 and like no stat Buffs. thats why if i ever use magic.. its faith. just for buffs so i can swing my sword harder lol

Strength Arcane in this particular game is superior imo. Ashes of war kind of make it even on which damage stat to use but as far as min max strength is best for bleed with weapons like scavengers curved swords.

Plz heart this ace 😭

This helps a ton. Thank you!!

Lets goooo! Looking forward to playing alongside ya then!

I'll try to remember but i cant promise ill do it every time, especially since im streaming/recording it. dont wanna ruin the pacing stopping to read every single item i pick up. may need to save them for specific segments and read em all at once. Thanks for the tip tho! I hope to see you at the stream! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

did he do the last season of game of thrones too?? ive never watched but i heard that last season was ass I was wondering if something happened to george for it to be so bad or what

he made the books not the show@@pinkleWeenkies

@@pinkleWeenkies the books aren’t finished season 5(ish) are where the books stopped. Season 6-8 are notes that he gave the directors/producers. Season 7 and 8 were rushed through. There was plenty of story to make it a full 10 seasons but they rushed the ending and the majority of fans hated it.

@@pinkleWeenkies He's the author of the original Books. not the show

@@Gunkus I see thank you for your explanation should i read the books rhen instead of watching game of thrones so im not disappointed by the ending??

You can also two hand any weapon or hold any two weapons, one in each hand. If you have two weapons of the same type, they unlock a special move set that replaces the block mechanic. Charge heavy attacks and heavy jump attacks do more poise damage, or in other words, makes enemies stagger and allows for a critical if you use an attack on the right body part. I put my health and FP flasks, along with Torrent’s whistle, in my pouch instead of leaving them in the main inventory so I don’t have to cycle through all my items whenever I want to drink my flasks. Feel free to roleplay, I certainly did. I would recommend only asking questions when it pertains to quests because it can be hard to find NPCs, and I would also refrain from killing NPCs because most give you their armor or weapons by the end of their quests. You can get their loot early, but you might miss optional help later on. Use summons if you want, at a certain point I felt confident to play without them. Alright, I think that’s it.

I wish I knew what the stat types mean and effect, stuff like strength, vitality, int and faith make sense but everything else like dex and stuff im not sure what gameplay aspect they effect

@@KingdomAce Here's an explanation of the stats so that you have an idea of what to focus on or start with. Vigor: This is the amount of health you have. Of course, if you are supremely skilled at avoiding hits you can ignore this stat entirely, but even veterens would put some levels into vigor as it will never let you down. It also affects your resistance to some status effects. Mind: The amount of FP (Focus Points) or mana that you have. Mana is used for spells, incantations and buffs, special weapon skills. A few points here is not a bad idea even as a melee focused build. Endurance: This affects your stamina which is extremely important. Almost every single action in the game consumes stamina. You don’t want to be too tired to dodge when a boss is about to nuke you. This also increases your equip load. Overall a very important stat. Strength: Raises your damage for heavy armaments. If a weapon is big and makes you look menacing, like a greatsword or a giant axe or hammer, it most likely scales with strength. (Pro tip: Look at what a weapon scales with in its stats. That helps you know if it is going to pair well with your build.) Dexterity: Raises damage of your smaller or faster weapons. Katanas, daggers, anything that strikes fast usually scales with dex. It also reduces casting time of Spells, softens fall damage, and makes it harder to be knocked off your horse. Pretty good stat to develop in general. Intelligence: Only touch this if you want to be a mage. Faith: This stat is used for incantations, buffs, holy damage, fire damage, and even lightning damage. Quite a number of things scale with faith so it might be worth investing at least a few points in this as you progress further in the game. Arcane: Arcane stat can be very situational. It affects your resistance to certain status effects, increases item discovery, and also increases your damage for poison, sleep, madness, and bleed effects. Unless you are using a build that primarily focuses of those stats, you can avoid this entirely. Hope this helped. Ill try and catch the stream if you need another explanation too.

@@KingdomAce vigor, mind, and endurance are fairly obvious but you can select the help option at any time in the menus and the game will explain everything you need to know. Every weapon and spell in the game (not items so this doesn’t include stuff like throwing daggers) has stat requirements. Every item also has a lore description. Most stuff in the game have two menu screens that you can swap between for different information. So when you look at a sword for example, it will have its stat requirements underneath its main information like damage output. If you dont meet the stat requirements for a weapon, you can still use it, but it will do next to no damage. A sword traditionally is a strength weapon, a rapier is a dex weapon, mace is strength weapon, katana is dex. There are exceptions but weapons are usually one or the other. Same with spells. As far as how it affects gameplay, there are secondary mechanics while in combat. You can stagger enemies and break their stance, and these states have thresholds you have to trigger. Poise is the hidden mechanic that tracks how aggressive you are and how effective your attacks are against the enemy. Bigger attacks=more poise damage. This also affects you because every piece of armor you have comes with a poise value that you can check, and you can see your total poise on the right side of the inventory under your stats. 55 poise basically means you can tank a light attack from enemies without being stunned, and around 80-110 poise is good for late game, but the Poise mechanic is basically a response to how skilled you are at avoiding attacks. If you want to tank through enemies, you need enough endurance to wear heavier armor that gives you enough poise to not be instantly staggered. If you want to roll around everyone without being hit, you can sacrifice poise and health for more damage output. Heavier weapons take longer to swing, but their crazy damage doesn’t matter if the swing takes so long to hit that you constantly get staggered out of your attack, and that’s when you care about poise. If you have a quicker, more dex focused build but still can’t hit the enemy, feel free to still wear heavy armor while using a katana or something. Attacking takes time, regardless of your build, but your responsibility is deciding if you will be trading blows or avoiding them. A mage tries to run around while casting spells, which means they might have enough endurance to roll through a long boss combo, but not enough endurance to wear heavy gear. I personally straddled the line and tried to do everything, but within reason. You should focus on one or two stats for damage, but going both strength and dex can slow you down, and going both faith and intelligence is a bad idea on a first playthrough, because it’s hard to find enough stats and items to facilitate that specific playthrough when you’re playing blind. That’s why I recommend one physical and one magic stat. Strength doesn’t really effect anything outside of damage but you can “cheat” a strength requirement if you two hand a weapon. Example: a sword that has 30 strength requirement can be used when you have like 20 strength, if you two hand the weapon. You can’t cheat any other stat like that. Dexterity affects spell casting speed, fall damage, and some other stuff, but it’s all barely noticeable in actual gameplay, so I would just focus on the damage increase from leveling dex. If you get you dexterity high enough, you will notice your spells casting faster, but that’s useful more in PvP, it’s not as noticeable in PvE. Weapons do more damage either when you level up stats that pertain to that weapon, or when you upgrade that weapon with smithing stones. This was all over the place and if you want more specifics, I’ll answer, but I think this is enough for you to start the game confident.

rip to the goat Akira toriyama 🐐

Exactly what I thought when I first saw the trailer.People missed that detail but it was Malenia's scarlet flower not Radahn's red locks.Weird

Yup! I'll be live in a little over 12 hours from now! I went and scheduled the stream event ahead of time so if you want, here's the link so you can set a notification specifically for it so you dont miss it! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

Bleed does a percentage of a enemies health bar in damage. It really helps with bosses

May have to take that to heart. Im someone who likes to explore in RPGs before heading to a definitive objective first anyways. Depending on how long I go on for, we may not even take on Margit in the first episode!

Yes but after playing haha

I may have to but probably after playing the game haha

I will see you there then!! 🫡

Just expanding on your comment. The tarnished in the game are Godfrey and the banished warriors who also had their grace card revoked. The ability to see grace was restored, allowing the descendants to find their way back to the lands between and "save the world"

Ahh okay this explains a lot. Thanks!

@@KingdomAce I always try to imagine it this way: the Elden Ring is to the world what a computer code is for a program. It governs the rules/laws of nature.

Thats pretty awesome to know, thanks!

Yoooo thats fire! I hope to see you tomorrow for the stream then! I'm sure I could use some spoiler-free tips when the time comes! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

SAME! I hope to see ya there tomorrow for the stream! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

looking forward to seeing you there! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

I look forward to it! I hope to see you again for my experience 🙏 ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

It's my second behind Sekiro

I wish I knew what the stat types mean and effect, stuff like strength, vitality, int and faith make sense but everything else like dex and stuff im not sure what gameplay aspect they effect

I need to play that game!

@@KingdomAce Dex is just the damage stat for faster weapons like spears, daggers, and katanas, but it also makes you cast spells faster (as you can imagine dex is a good option as a melee stat if you also plan on using magic), reduces fall damage, and makes you harder to knock off the horse. Heavier weapons like greatswords and hammers use Strength and it also boosts physical defense (the stat is 50% higher when you hold a weapon in 2 hands so it's better than dex for pure melee even at higher levels because it levels above the cap, max level for everything else is 99 but strength can be 149 while 2 handing). Arcane is like luck (you get better loot) but it also affects bleed damage. Mind gives you more mp. Endurance is stamina and carry weight.

@@KingdomAce Dex is dexterity, used for faster weapons, while str is for the slower harder hitting weapons. Endurance is for stamina and equipment load (lets you wear heavier armor without it effecting your roll as much, there is fat roll, normal roll and fast roll) Arcane slightly increases item discovery and effects status of weapons, like how fast a status builds up like poison or bleed. Mind is your FP (its pretty much mana) int = spells and faith = incantations.

Hm, Im not too sure! I am the most interested in Samurai. I'm just into that kinda thing. So it'll likely be what I pick but I dont really know the other classes, i think i chose something like a knight before. idk if it was that but i feel like i had a sword and shield. but i didnt care for it, so I may just need to fully look through it all tomorrow on stream and go from there! I hope to see you there! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

@@KingdomAce Yeah samurai definitely has cool fashion, them and confessor have my fav starting armors. Remember too that starting class doesn't matter much outside of the early game when you start exploring and finding new gear. I will say if you want the most versatile start to try a little of everything out wretch starts with 10 in all stats from level 1 but they dont start with any armor so you gotta rock the loincloth for a bit lol 😅I'll be sure to check in and watch!

Thanks so much! I hope to see you for the stream of it tomorrow! Theres so much to see so im excited! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

I'll keep the vigor leveling in mind, thanks for the tips! I'm excited to see ya there tomorrow, hopefully with more spoiler-free tips! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

I love the accessibility and freedom of execution! I'll be sure to think carefully!

Really? seemed like he was forging something at a glance

@@KingdomAce Its actually both. Its a woman and a man who share a body. The woman is shattering it and the man is trying to repair it. It’s kinda weird but you’ll understand eventually

Good choice! I'll likely pick it up some time later since i got Dragon's Dogma 2, and Unicorn Overlord recently. Not to mention I still need to beat Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth haha

@@KingdomAce oh yes dragon dogma 2. Will get it later for sure. So many titkes and so little time :)

I wish I knew what the stat types mean and effect, stuff like strength, vitality, int and faith make sense but everything else like dex and stuff im not sure what gameplay aspect they effect

There's more peak dropping soon! Elden Ring, while will be made into videos, its the only game right now that ill actually be STREAMING all the way through. So Alongside those streams and The Witcher 3 videos, I hope you'll check out the Mass Effect videos that're coming too! Even if you havent played them, im sure we'll have a blast!

I wont let this game beat me! I'll see it through to the end, and I know with you all's help, I know we can do it before the DLC comes out! We've got time!

Im ready to get gud! Tho Im sure ill surprise yall that im actually quite the gamer 😈🤔

Ahhh okay, thanks for that. never seen the series!

me either! Excited for it tomorrow, so I hope to see you there! ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

Tbh I also almost named it "SOULSBORNE VIRGIN" or "FROMSOFT VIRGIN" but those, uh, aint hit the same LOL

Mass Effect is the other series alongside The Witcher 3 as videos (since Elden Ring is a stream/vod series). But when one of those is done, I'd definitely consider RD2

@@KingdomAce Haha yess that's good, RDR2 hast he best story imo

Also there’s 165 bosses lmfao

Will keep this in mind and do my best!

I'll keep this in mind, thanks! I hope to see you at the stream with some more helpful tips 🙏 ru-vid.comD22lk4fb1j4?feature=share

it'll be okay!

DLC coming so, it makes sense

@@KingdomAce yeah true

I REALLY need to read Berserk then

I'd love to tackle Sekiro or Bloodborne after it if possible. I actually started a Bloodborne playthrough a few months back but it kinda failed so I dropped it. But if the new viewers are down I'd pick it back up since it's super fun

@@KingdomAce what about dark souls

@@krustytheclown2627 I'd be down if people would want it! I'd love to play the whole trilogy!

@@KingdomAce DS3 has the best bosses in the franchise

false

@@maxtn2855 Expound

​@@maskedmenreikithey probably excluded all the repeats, which is honestly pretty fair since if you exclude all the copy pasted bosses theirs only 123, your technically right though.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boy

@@maskedmenreiki 165 Bosses (Boss Healthbar) and over 70 of them are unique (no repeats)

Yeah i bet, i thought i remembered it being kinda annoying. hopefully they streamline things for the next game

@@KingdomAce i been saying that for like a decade. good luck haha

I really need to read berserk, i started it but didnt really make it past a chapter or two. not that i didnt like it, just was bad timing, but hopefully these games will push me to really dive into it too!

Hey no worries! Im sure even if you havent played, seeing someone else do it wont affect how we'll you'll do it yourself! So feel free to watch, or cop the game and play alongside me!

Honestly though, who cares? I mean, endings are important and all, but really the only thing that matters is the build up and gameplay leading up to it

Oh okay cool, thats neat to know

Because we're getting through our backlogs, but the DLC coming made us push ER to the front

People like me? Or the homie Ace? Because I haven't been a noob since 2009 when Demon's Souls dropped. Played King's Field before that but I was only 2 when that initially came out. Plenty of Armored Core. Praise the Sun!

Why does it matter?

@@Scramblingegg Just something I noticed every time I open RU-vid I see some new person doing a playthrough

@@andieketchum that's fair actually, I think the reveal of a Dlc probably pushed the game up on some people's list, sorry for being a dick in my last reply

I wont let it get to me anymore. I'm the one with the controller after all!

I hope you'll join me once again on this new adventure!

Ah okay, im sure I'll learn more as I go!

whats that?
