This Tree Sentinel Build is UNSTOPPABLE - Elden Ring Secret Starting Class 

Ansbach doesn’t show up in the leda fight unless you also do Freya’s questline but you can also kill freya after getting her sheild

i know i drop thirsty comments because y'all cute and all, but i do wanna say your writing (assuming you write your scripts and joks) is genuinely good too :) great puns and wordplay x

When is froggy starting class vid coming out

The Maliketh joke was for my people... thanks for reminding me about my 2PM apointment! Lotsa love xo

Dude, what's the beef with a 4/10 work week? I'm not blasting I'm genuinely curious cause that's an obscure(ish) one to throw in right in the liturgical town

more Phil-osophy 😏

Fighting the ones in the hinterlands felt like running into an old friend lol

I started a new savefile. After about 400 hours of the first savefile, and at level 393, I have platinumed elden ring (actually I did it before the 400 hours). Now with this new savefile I am seeing how I became better, I did tree sentinel in 3 tries with the vagabond. Square off is an amazing skill. Now I am exploring to find a blood grease to apply to my morning star to kill Greyrolll.

Right? I read the title and immediately said "Why haven't I done that run yet?"

The ones in the hinterlands can one shot you through ritual shield so it's a saving grace and one of my 13 reasons why at the same time

⁠@@andypina4478square off isn’t just good it’s insane lol SO much stance damage. And you sound experienced enough so just wondering why the blood grease is necessary? Sounds like difference between one minute and two?

Agree, I think her 'age of the stars' might be more agnostic than hoping to become the new god - after all, she DITCHED her body and great rune to stop being an Empyrean. And those had the sole purpose of inheriting Marika´s post. She could have done what Radahn, Malenia and co. tried to do, without sacrificing everything. So, claiming Ranni wants to be the new god, that is plainly false !

@@murphieslaw6932well she technically does want to become a new god, she just wants to be a distant one like the moon above.

@@land_and_air1250In order to fight gods to keep them away from the lands between, being a god yourself is extremely useful.

@@land_and_air1250 So she wants to become a deistic god 😄

@@davinchat2 sort of but I’m unsure if anyone will even know of what happened

60 Vigor, Endurance and Strength. Pick up a big stick or sword or polearm and just bully everything. The "I can do this all day" build. With Erdtree+2 you have almost 2k HP, 173 stamina and 130 equip load.

@@D00MTR33 Nice ! Don´t forget the Morgott´s great rune, making it a whopping 2,7k HP :D I personally slapped on the new Solace armor (because I like the fashion way better than bullgoat) and use the great jar´s arsenal to still be able to rock my colossal sword. I´m just at 50 End yet, so hopefully I can drop that talisman once I reach 60 ^^

99 Endurance still left over from my Shields Only run. Once I discovered how convenient it is to run multiple weapon sets and heavy armor AND just swing for days there has been no going back.

Oh sure there is, just gotta keep the erdtree favor +2 and great warrior jar arsenal charm at all times

No space for hugs? Obviously, you haven't pumped endurance enough then.

What's up Eduard. I'm not a doctor, and I too, enjoy Tulock's wacky sense of humor after a day's work.

Hey Eduard, I'm a web developer and I also enjoy his sense of humour after work and before sleep as a background noise

Thank you for helping those in need doctor people need to appreciate you guys more

Hey Eduard, I'm a meth addict and I love this guy's humor too

To be fair you CAN go for light roll and this will work with the blue dancer´s, it´s just... Why bother ? XD I personally will never do a 'no hit' run, so I take the normal roll distance and i-frames with good damage resist over better ones with low damage resist. But hey, to each their own. There are some sadly light armors I love but never use due to their card-board stats. Like the blood hound knight´s set. Sexy indeed.

The true endgame of Souls

@@murphieslaw6932 unfortunately the blue dancer charm works off of the weight of equipped equipment, not the percentage equip load.

There's technically no evidence that the Greater Will exists at all. If it does, it has definitely abandoned the Lands Between, probably since before Marika even showed up.

Could also indicate that the Metyr was upended by Marika/the Fingers. Things get rather iffy in scope when you're talking about experiences between gods.

It says that ever since she landed she has never heard the voice of the greater will. That also implies that the two fingers have never heard it either. Either it's contradictory or Marika has tricked the two fingers and grace itself is the guidance of Marika.

@kairu_aname Pretty sure all it says is that she used to get messages from the Greater Will but that she'd been abandoned. It doesn't give a time frame. "The Mother received signs from the Greater Will from the beyond of the microcosm. Despite being broken and abandoned, she kept waiting for another message to come" It DOES imply that the Two Fingers have never heard the Greater Will before though, thats correct. It says that Metyr was a middleman, so they only ever talked to Metyr.

@@shadoblak If we are to use dialogs as truth, or even as reference, the ymir gives us the time frame. If it is to be believed. Almost no npc has lied to us about the lore they find, not intentionally anyway. I've yet to find an exception on _that_ point. "I fear that you have borne witness to the whole of it. The conceits-the hypocrisy-of the world built upon the Erdtree. The follies of men. Their bitter suffering. Is there no hope for redemption? The answer, sadly, is clear. There never was any hope. *_They were each of them defective. Unhinged, from the start. Marika herself. And the fingers that guided her._* And this is what troubles me. No matter our efforts, if the roots are rotten, ...then we have little recourse." And further still; "Do you recall what I said? That Marika, and the fingers that guided her, were unsound from the start. Well, the truth lies deeper still. It is their mother who is damaged and unhinged. The fingers are but unripe children. Victims in their own right. We all need a mother, do we not? A new mother, a true mother, who will not give birth to further malady." Speculation, that metyr was given purpose before she landed, but afterwards she never heard from the greater will again.

There's some Biblical support for the interpretation. Notably in Jeremiah 5 there is some association of general hypocrisy with breaking the third commandment. The mainstream scholarly consensus though is that the commandment is associated with Oaths, a bit of a foreign concept to modern Christians. Oaths were considered highly serious, so someone making an oath could be trusted to carry out what they said. The third commandment then can be said to not use God as a means to acquire trust that you do not intend to keep or otherwise do not deserve. Which, in a more abstract way, does still support Tulok's interpretation.

In Hebrew the commandment uses the verb "תישא", carry/raise, instead of "תאמר/תגיד", say/speak. The name of God can be SAID, but CARRYING it might actually mean using its power to CARRY out your own will instead of God's actual will.

I’ve heard it every now and then and it makes sense. The point of being a Christian is to treat people with love and respect so I think the interpretation of not using Gods name to be a jerk and treat people terribly should be looked up to

Indeed, an incredibly interesting talking point. Hadn't considered that interpretation; it, along with the scholarly insight above, is truly wise... And ***Based.*** Seriously... Exploiting the name of any important figure, or even concept, is certainly a great evil. When it comes to Christianity, it is likely the most commonly abused. Speaking from a local issue I just read about. "Yes, we definitely needed 30 million dollars to add another thousand seats to our ~~arena~~ church! This money you gave us is definitely helping the less fortunate and needy..." Using the good will, maybe even the guilty conscience, of your neighbor, is absolutely disgusting. You already don't have to pay taxes... Feed and shelter some homeless people, and help the community. You're clearly getting plenty of funding. --- Love and Peace folks, best of luck in your pursuits.

Consider the historical context. When was the Abrahamic god’s name invoked? Either to have Him bear witness to an oath, or to justify a course of action as serving His will. In either case, invoking the name of God in pursuit of evil action would understandably enrage him. And say what you will about God, he’s got a really short temper.

This is why I like Ranni's ending the most, she wants to be free from EVERYTHING. The "let me do me" and "you do you" mentality is much more relatable and refreshing vs the "my way or nothing" mentality that is shoved down our throats daily.

Ranni is just selfish. She killed Godwyn for her own gain and then plans to abandon the broken world her family created to fix itself while she goes on a space cruise. Elden Ring doesn't have a good ending because the world is just fundamentally broken, there is no salvation available. It's a hell of our own making.

@@PlatinumAltaria I agree she’s selfish that was my point, she does free the Lands Between from the Golden Order, but A) this is an Afterthought, she did it on a whim, Hell she wasn’t even planning to take the Tarnished on her journey and B) this only frees them it doesn’t solve any other problem it just hands the people the agency to solve things themselves. My point was that she’s the only character not wanting a Theocracy and yeah she did do it for herself, but ironically the most selfish person of the Demigods is also the only one that actually gave people freedom. I think it’s says something about valuing freedom, that it’s inherently selfish but also if you value you freedom, you give it to others because a person who truly values freedom not only respects their own but other peoples. Ranni is still bad because she didn’t care about how many people got hurt in her quest for freedom, but she is the only Demigod not trying to impose her will upon others, and that led her to making the only moral choice after the fall of the Elden Beast

​@Fenikagegami it could be said that Ranni did enforce her own will on everyone, by taking away all the comfort that fhe order brought to many peoples (just playing devils advocate there), and Secondly, I'm not sure where you found that she decided to give everyone freedom on a whim. Throughout her entire quest she let's you know she's getting rid of the 2 fingers and bringing freedom and self agency to everyone, no matter the steps it takes. And she only decides to bring us with because she was going to go thru the scary journey of hiding the elden ring far, far away by herself. She was taking on this terrifying burden or venturing far into the unknown so rhat everyone could be free from the greater wills influence, and ultimately any other outer gods as well. She initially wasn't going to take us (or anyone) because she didn't want anyone else to have to endure that frightfullness. But once we decide to marry her, she finds comfort in the fact that we DECIDE to go with her. She doesn't invite us because she knows what this journey entails. But we decide to take this scary journey with her, to bring freedom to the people of the lands between. And while i agree she did some rlly messed up things to achieve her goals, and that her initial reason for starting this journey was a selfish reason (she didn't want to be controlled by the 2 fingers like she saw Marika was) it ultimately evolved into a more selfless motive, once she more deeply understood how everyone was controlled by the greater will after she decided to take on this journeh

@@TubularBellsRequiem6531 I’ll address the 2nd point first: it’s more of a vibe I got, and I’m willing to admit that I misread it, that the freedom for everyone was a whim, I still think whether you’re right or I am the overall point that her more healthy valuing of Freedom ultimately creates a more moral outcome due to it leads to a respect for others freedom. Which leads to me addressing the first point: what you’ve done is introduce the Paradox of Freedom that is created when 2 beings exist near each other, that they will inevitably impose some of their Will on each other, the all rules are a form of coercion argument. Total freedom cannot exist in this context, you can only maximize freedom while trying to respect others Rights, the “The freedom to wave you hand around stops at hitting my face” principle. In this respect, she is not forcing her will on others, after all, nothing is stopping another Monarchy from being set up if Democracy is too scary. The difference is now it’s the mortals in charge not some super being like a God.

I got to the mimic tear and killed them easily. Then stopped for a second and thought 'Is my build bad because fighting me is that easy?'

​​@@soshalconstruct5463 Same, i played meele build with 22 vigor. Polearms, str/dex/endurance and starting robes as armor. Tear died in 5 seconds, leaving me with a thought "Damn, im that squishy?"

Thanks saved me having to write that.

I never did any of this, and ansbach still helped me fight radahn and leda. I just didn't invade hornsent

You need to give him the Secret Rite Scroll, that's the only requirement to my knowledge.

@@AceAviations2 You need to make sure Leda doesn't kill him. If the scroll was the only requirement, Phil would have been able to summon him.

@@darthplagueis13 But I never did the invasions to help kill/save him or the hornsent. You probably have to finish the whole questline outside of that, which means talking to Freyja as well

I was under the impression that what mattered most was giving him the scroll and at least receiving the letter for Freya prior to killing Messmer.

@@toastmaster914 Grüß Gott, Bratwurst Vaterland Reich Sauerkraut Hallo!

Honestly you can look at the starting classes in Demon's Souls and the other two Dark Souls games and see that they've always given a couple classed heavy favoritism over the others. Demon's Souls Magician and Royalty are disgustingly broken from the tutorial into the endgame. The DS1 Pyromancer has the best magic type in the game by a mile and barely needs to level their stats to be overpowered. Every Souls game gives their Knight classes the best armor available to the player for a very long time, and the DS2 and 3 Knight even bothered to show up with the ideal stats for the best build types in their games. And of course Elden Ring's two "quality" classes -- the Vagabond and the Samurai -- both join with great stats, solid armor, and excellent weapons to such a degree they low-key invalidate the other melee classes almost entirely.

Also want you to know I was so invested that I clapped like five times like a monkey with cymbals when you one cycled that bastard I still havent cleared in 149 attempts. Lets fucking GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
