congrats on defeating malenia, it took me 4, 5ish hours on my first playthough to defeat her granted ive platinumed all but bloodborne cause i dont have a ps4 and soul level 1nd the trilogy of dark souls, i feel like malenia is a bit over rated but i understand the opinion that she is helluva boss fight, personally struggled more with maliketh and dragonlord
I love the series, Bloodborne is one of my favorite games of all time And funny enough fromsoftware has yet to beat their best 2 v 1 Smough and ornstein ds1
You know this game was very hard and I even got it myself, but when you said I don’t wanna cheat and use mimic for malenia but then why did you use the save game cheat for the different endings?
it's esier to kill her without a mimic a mimic tear is a hadicap my frist run was done ( with a summon) but after that never again bcs it does make it esier but once you get the moveset you win free and i was so happy when i done her without getting hit once myb twice not sure
@@TitleDotJpeg yeh show me the study XD ppl who think malenia is solo easier than with a full maxed out mimic are coping so hard XD. Ive seen countless ppl beating malenia with mimic before they even understood her moveset at all. All it needs is 1 lucky try where you mimic doesnt die early and the fight is a walk in the park. Mimic litteraly makes phase 1 a complete joke since you can stunlock her with almost every weapon forever
It always brings me joy when I see people experience fromsoftware’s genius for the first time. It’s so wholesome watching somebody over come a boss in their own way. That weapon art finish on Margot was clean. Great video man
Only strength gives you the 2hand bonus. So for all other builds like dex or int greatswords with only minimal str you lose what? 7 AR overall? If you like the one handed moveset more thats pretty neglectable
GG dude. I was obsessed with ER on release and did 12 runs in total. I played up to NG+7 on one character (level 260 in the end or something) and made 5 other challenge run characters (SL 1 run, naked with a club run, pure magic etc). There are so many ways to play the game and it has a lot of replay value. You can do some truly crazy stuff. Can't wait to see you play more of the souls games!
Hi Rob, the excitement in your face when defeating Margit the first main boss was cool to watch…it’s like this everytime you defeat a main boss. You done right running about levelling up before taking him on
Just got platinum trophy few weeks ago . 5 months everyday playing for 5 hours goin to work late cause lack of sleep . I feeling good asf . Telling all my friends i got platinum for this game even they didn't have any idea what im talking about. I felt awesome beating the game for the first time & got platinum
It's funny because Malania sometimes doesn't go nuts in her second phase . The AI almost seems random and maybe one out 50 it gives you a chance to take her down .
80 unique bosses yes, but there's loads of extra boss fights that use assets from different fights. You can google it, its all there.@@Tsuki_the_canadian_otaku
It feels like the souls community is the fun police 💀 they feel like they have to prove to each other who’s better at the game rather than just enjoying the game 🗿, it’s pathetic 💀
I ain't gonna lie, I couldn't get halfway thru this game without using everything that I could get my hands on to beat some of these bosses. F#ck em. 🤣🤣 It's a fun game no matter how you play it as long as you enjoy it.
I cried when i received the platinum trophy. Elden Ring is one of the most memorable games i have ever played. LOVE IT CAN NOT WAIT TILL THE DLC COMES OUT.
460 Deaths for a first run...not bad! Welcome to the club lol. Elden Ring really is the easiest of the series due to the summons and open world IMO. That being said you did a amazing job and hung in there like a champ! Stand proud in the fact you got it done. Where so many others would quit from frustration you stuck it out. Can't wait to see you try out another one of these games. They may not have the tools available in Elden Ring but, you've gained a wealth of knowledge and determination. You'll kick its ass! Good luck for your next journey and remember you got this!
I try this too at the moment. It‘s the hardest game i played for years. Story and gameplay are great. I only need lot of time learning bosses and how to beat them. Some bosses took me about 50+ trys. 😂 Was a lot fun to watch your platinum run. Thanks for sharing your experience! 😁
The classic souls die right as you kill the boss and you are so close to puching straight through your monitor until the immense relief that it counts 😂😂 weve all had that once its pretty much required
I had this happen to me I was fighting Fire Giant and he did his bullshit fire attack (when he spits fire at the ground from his stomach) and my mimic tear (don't judge it was my first playthrough) rushed in and hit him as I died and Fire Giant died at the same time I did and sadly it didn't count and it took me 80+ attempts with my mimic tear and good dex double katana build
Congrats! I'm not a soulslike player myself do to not having any patience as I have gotten older lol. Having said that, as soon as I finish up GoW Ragnarök, I'm going to play this game... Looking forward to it, it looks like a great game.
Why do people care if others use a summon or mimic tear? Who cares play the game the way you wanna play. They literally put it in the game for that exact reason. Just because you wanna do a challenge run doesn't mean everyone else does. It's a video game relax.
@@DETRACT0RD00MI can kill any of the bosses first Try unless I do challenges like max level 80 and plus 17 weapons. But some people will die with mimic tear 8 times, and to them the fights are difficult. If a professional souls youtuber was using mimic tear the whole time I could understand the making it too easy on yourself because it takes away from the games. But newer players are still being challenged by learning the whole game, mimic doesn’t take away challenge just reduces it. Also this dudes not even using a really crazy build imo which increases mimics potency
I just Platinum'd this game. Being my first souls game. I'm proud of it. I got Plat and beat the DLC in about 200 hours. I took my time and explored, and even then to get Plat I had to follow some guides are where to find missing Legendary items.
mimic tear is what helped me find a counter to waterfowl dance. My mimic threw the frozen pot and knocked her out of the air and it was over i never had to worry about it again.
This was my second platinum after Sekiro, have 500 plus hours beat NG +7 if only I could go back and play this masterpiece with a fresh memory once again , proud of you Rob can’t wait to see lies of p platinum!
My first souls plat was Elden ring. Phenomenal game. After that I did demons souls remake and thymesia. I want to play and plat also dark souls 1-3 , bloodborne and sekiro too
i have completed and plat all of the souls born and have done some crazy challenge runs and as a person who "got good" i can tell you anyone that discredits you for using a mimic is not part of the souls community, as long as you appreciate the game for what it is your good in my books and the souls community in general. congrats on the plat. feels good man
Major props on beating Melania summonless on your first souls game holy shit. After 850 hours of playing, even beating Morgott with a +0 weapon aswell as Mohg and Radagon/Elden Beast with a normal smithing stone +8, but Melania wth no summons is still something I can't do. Watching you dodge Waterfoul while singing T-Pain actually gave me a better sense of how to dodge it honestly and determined to try and finally get her soon. Shows that even after nearly 1,000 hours there still room for improvement and things to learn
First time viewer here and a huge fan of the souls series. I probably have 2000 hours between the ds trilogy, bloodborne, sekiro, and elden ring. I just wanted to say amazing fucking job with this. Don't listen to the gate keepers and feel bad about the mimic tear. It's a mechanic in the game that's specifically for new player accessibility. My only critique is try out some other weapons in the next souls game you play. You may think one is really good but then you find one you like more. You're depriving yourself of that experience only using one for your whole playthrough.
@@Matthew.Nelson Stfu Rebecca, all Trophies in 15 Hours is literally impossible for a first Playthrough - probably even for a Speedrunner (who would have to practise and learn it first) xD The Trophies to beat every Boss and get all Legendary Items alone make it impossible to rush it through and get it ALL done in under a Day...It is probably possible after a couple of Runs and mapping everything out, getting a max lvl Weapon first and then rushing all Trophies in the fastest order possible - maybe doing some Skips and Glitches along the way. However, that's not the Sort of "first Playthrough" Experience we're talking about here, so just gtfo, Boy^^
Honestly i have thousands of hours on every souls game and elden ring and platinumed them all. Ur honestly not that bad at dodging which was what i sucked at the most. Im excited to see u platinum them all. My by far favorite and most fun was ds2. Its definitely the most... different game but it was the most fun for me
No, he was really bad at dodging, he mainly spam rolled. And the Bloodhound sword is a Top 3 sword, speedrunners use it on bosses. Plus, bleed, any bleed weapon immediately gets pushed to the top. Without it, he'd do way worse.
I enjoyed seeing your go at the Platinum and sharing your struggle with it as a new Souls player. I myself only started playing the souls games back in October-November time myself, and it's comforting to know that even far more experienced gamers than I'll ever be struggle with the souls games too. (Sorry if that sounded like an insult, it wasn't meant to be). Keep up the great work. 🙂
Of course there's no problem with using whatever u want as long as you're having fun, that's the most important thing, however, there's an objective problem with people who abuse the mimic tear & then thrash the bosses for being "easy" & brag about beating a souls game, that's the dilemma . & I'm not a souls vet by any means .
Absolutely, the past SoulsBorne games were about getting good enough to beat bosses. In Elden Ring though, it gives you so many STACKABLE options to make bosses super easy.
Don't worry about people complaining you used mimic tear. As long as you have fun. And in my opinion, you did amazing this video. Welcome to the souls community.
I poured almost 100 Hours into Elden Ring and I haven't beaten it. And Probably Never Will. Edit: You guys were right, I can run past the Boss to the Mountaintops
@LamShelmet I defeated Morgott and reached the Mountaintop of the Giants. The only thing stopping me from exploring the mountains is the Black Bird Kindred.
@@danielferrieri7434 Hop on torrent and run past it to the grace, rest and then you can take the lift, I didn't fight bbk until like NG+4 when i was 99 faith and blasted his ass with ADLS
I'll never understand the souls community's obsession with crutches and difficulty, it's like one of their crowning achievements in life is beating Elden Ring without summons... most people have a limited amount of free time and would rather not waste it fighting the same boss 50 times 🤣🤣🤣
OK so I'm one of those pesky elitist Souls-Veterans with thousands of Hours into the Series and a couple thousand more in just PvP and I gotta say your whole Malenia Angle was nothing but Perfection when faced with this very Odd Community of ours xD You were absolutely right that we would frown upon the Mimic Tear and the usage of Summons throughout the Playthrough, but that we would absolutely respect the Malenia Achievement with the Respect that is due :D You, Sir, have earned yourself the Title of a proper Tarnished. Not only do we - as a Community of narcissistic Gamers with a slight Complex of Superiority - accept you as one of our own, but you ALSO get to sit on the high Horse alongside of us now, calling other Gamers inferior and suggesting them to simply "Git Gud" when faced with Adversity in ANY Game :D It may be toxic, but there is Darkness in all of us and the Temptation is too great for Mortals to resist..You will very much understand these Words ~3 Souls Games later :D
As long as you had fun and managed to get through the game to finish the video and you're happy, then you're all good 🦾 I've just always felt that assists are there to make the game easier, but it was predominantly designed for a solo experience, hence why I don't summon in Souls games. However I do have a slight peeve with summons when statements like 35:42 are said because had you not had the mimic tear you would probably be saying different for some of those bosses. The beauty of Souls games for me is the difficulty adjustment being none other than your loadout. There are pros and cons to each setup and they dynamically change the difficulty of the fights, but that statement (whilst partially being based on your equipment) is mostly because you had a distraction for Niall and his adds etc. Anyway, like my first sentence, you finished the game and gave us a sick video at the end of it, congrats on the plat!
Great Channel after your transition from COD. You have the talent/humour and your videos are edited well. Your sub count has exploded and your video being viewed by hundreds of thousands from all your plat videos. Keep up the good work!
Hey man, new to your channel, literally just today I was thinking to myself, "Man I loved Elden Ring, I wonder if there are any videos of people playing it for the first time so I can relive that experience" Did a search and saw this vid posted legit 3 days ago, exactly what I was looking for, brand new player's full experience with ER. I gotta say, regardless of everything, the video itself was fantastically produced, I watched the entire 56 mins and enjoyed all of it. I know crafting these movie sized youtube vids is an insane amount of work, and you knocked it out of the park with this one. I loved the ending with Malenia, great idea to commit to. The thing with all FromSoft games, is that although hard, they are fair. There are people beating Malenia, no hit runs, minimal gear, with a dance pad... That boss is hard as fuck but with enough practice, anyone can do it with their eyes closed.. Anyways great video, easy subscribe.
I have never wanted to play a Fromsoft game before Elden Ring but the hype got me and I loved it! I don't usually care for stressful games but it was just so good.
Great video, good job beating the game! Respect for the no summons malenia kill. Doing that myself is some of the most fun I've ever had playing video games. Im just a little sad you only ever used the bloodhounds fang for your entire playthrough, its a good weapon that you can get really early on, and its really strong. But its just a little boring! You should definately revisit the game and try out some of the really cool builds
That feeling after beating melenia is the reason we play the souls game. It's hard to find a game that gives that pure of a reaction after overcoming a challenge

i swear after i heard “today gonna be a canon event in the rob cinematic universe” i grabbed my soda and chips so fast
The best menu music.. holy shit so good
I enjoyed seeing your go at the Platinum and sharing your struggle with it as a new Souls player. I myself only started playing the souls games back in October-November time myself, and it's comforting to know that even far more experienced gamers than I'll ever be struggle with the souls games too. (Sorry if that sounded like an insult, it wasn't meant to be). Keep up the great work. 🙂
Of course there's no problem with using whatever u want as long as you're having fun, that's the most important thing, however, there's an objective problem with people who abuse the mimic tear & then thrash the bosses for being "easy" & brag about beating a souls game, that's the dilemma . & I'm not a souls vet by any means .
Absolutely, the past SoulsBorne games were about getting good enough to beat bosses.
In Elden Ring though, it gives you so many STACKABLE options to make bosses super easy.
21:55 Bro. I can't believe you can see my name in chat! W RUclipsr!!!!
Don't worry about people complaining you used mimic tear. As long as you have fun. And in my opinion, you did amazing this video. Welcome to the souls community.
Somebody experiencing a souls game for the first time never gets old
I poured almost 100 Hours into Elden Ring and I haven't beaten it. And Probably Never Will.
Edit: You guys were right, I can run past the Boss to the Mountaintops
If you are allowing yourself to summon others to help you out
man im sorry but i have put 120 hours into elden ring and platinumed it at this point just use summons lol also what boss are you on?
@LamShelmet I defeated Morgott and reached the Mountaintop of the Giants. The only thing stopping me from exploring the mountains is the Black Bird Kindred.
@@danielferrieri7434that bird annoying asf if i remember i cheesed it with like rot
@@danielferrieri7434 Hop on torrent and run past it to the grace, rest and then you can take the lift, I didn't fight bbk until like NG+4 when i was 99 faith and blasted his ass with ADLS
only fyi 52:10 Melania was downgraded so often a few month after release that you beat the easy version of her.
But still a very nice video.
I'll never understand the souls community's obsession with crutches and difficulty, it's like one of their crowning achievements in life is beating Elden Ring without summons... most people have a limited amount of free time and would rather not waste it fighting the same boss 50 times 🤣🤣🤣
Preach!!
Then again, no-one is gonna listen 🥲
18:56 I'm impressed you didn't get Valstraxed there. I've seen so many people just stand there waiting only to get one shot by that.
OK so I'm one of those pesky elitist Souls-Veterans with thousands of Hours into the Series and a couple thousand more in just PvP and I gotta say your whole Malenia Angle was nothing but Perfection when faced with this very Odd Community of ours xD You were absolutely right that we would frown upon the Mimic Tear and the usage of Summons throughout the Playthrough, but that we would absolutely respect the Malenia Achievement with the Respect that is due :D You, Sir, have earned yourself the Title of a proper Tarnished. Not only do we - as a Community of narcissistic Gamers with a slight Complex of Superiority - accept you as one of our own, but you ALSO get to sit on the high Horse alongside of us now, calling other Gamers inferior and suggesting them to simply "Git Gud" when faced with Adversity in ANY Game :D It may be toxic, but there is Darkness in all of us and the Temptation is too great for Mortals to resist..You will very much understand these Words ~3 Souls Games later :D
Amazing ad break rob. Probably the best one I ever seen.👍👍👍
Currently in my first play through of a souls game as well, 5 mins in the video and yea, killing that troll is what hooked me 110% lol
After watching many videos, watching my friend play, having a little blast myself I still have no idea why so many people adore this game😂
Hey rob. I think that going for platinum in Minecraft would be incredibly entertaining and different than any other game you’ve played
Congrats on getting this done Rob!
As long as you had fun and managed to get through the game to finish the video and you're happy, then you're all good 🦾
I've just always felt that assists are there to make the game easier, but it was predominantly designed for a solo experience, hence why I don't summon in Souls games. However I do have a slight peeve with summons when statements like 35:42 are said because had you not had the mimic tear you would probably be saying different for some of those bosses.
The beauty of Souls games for me is the difficulty adjustment being none other than your loadout. There are pros and cons to each setup and they dynamically change the difficulty of the fights, but that statement (whilst partially being based on your equipment) is mostly because you had a distraction for Niall and his adds etc.
Anyway, like my first sentence, you finished the game and gave us a sick video at the end of it, congrats on the plat!
Great Channel after your transition from COD. You have the talent/humour and your videos are edited well. Your sub count has exploded and your video being viewed by hundreds of thousands from all your plat videos. Keep up the good work!
I love how he found a weapon that fits him and used it throughout the entire game
Bro actually started with one of the hardest
Great video dude, congrats on the platinum!
It's been fkin 3 weeks, and he's already at almost 200k, the growth is crazy and I'm here for it ✊🏽
subbing for that bloodborne playthrough!
this legend panic rolled his way to the platinum and he deserves nothing but respect for it
38:00 Same vibe as the punisher meme
Every time a new video comes out it makes my day
Hey man, new to your channel, literally just today I was thinking to myself,
"Man I loved Elden Ring, I wonder if there are any videos of people playing it for the first time so I can relive that experience"
Did a search and saw this vid posted legit 3 days ago, exactly what I was looking for, brand new player's full experience with ER.
I gotta say, regardless of everything, the video itself was fantastically produced, I watched the entire 56 mins and enjoyed all of it. I know crafting these movie sized youtube vids is an insane amount of work, and you knocked it out of the park with this one.
I loved the ending with Malenia, great idea to commit to. The thing with all FromSoft games, is that although hard, they are fair. There are people beating Malenia, no hit runs, minimal gear, with a dance pad... That boss is hard as fuck but with enough practice, anyone can do it with their eyes closed..
Anyways great video, easy subscribe.
If you are still looking there is a great series I watched from a guy called Afrosenju
I have never wanted to play a Fromsoft game before Elden Ring but the hype got me and I loved it! I don't usually care for stressful games but it was just so good.
Bro brought back the sisters of illska PTSD for me 😭☠️🙏
Great video, good job beating the game! Respect for the no summons malenia kill. Doing that myself is some of the most fun I've ever had playing video games. Im just a little sad you only ever used the bloodhounds fang for your entire playthrough, its a good weapon that you can get really early on, and its really strong. But its just a little boring! You should definately revisit the game and try out some of the really cool builds
That feeling after beating melenia is the reason we play the souls game. It's hard to find a game that gives that pure of a reaction after overcoming a challenge
You are of passing skill. Warrior Blood must truly run in thy veins
Loved this video ngl, would love to see you platinum Alan wake remastered, control and/or alan wake 2
