Just wanted to make it clear that I suggest using these strategies as tools, not as replacement. If possible, they are worth doing.
And if you want to help me create better videos for as little as a dollar a month, then consider becoming a member. It's greatly appreciated
Trying my very best to
Yeah, I've seen nothing, going in totally blind. Can't wait.
no fucking way.
I am too deep in the news.
Yes, although I would 100% want to get spoilered on where to find the Dryleaf Arts weapon once in the DLC.
no, ive seen videos of messmer, gaius, rellana, bayle, and others, but i dont really want to see all the bosses or areas. it simply looks incredible though
i think a reason why most people sleep on jumping to evade attacks is that the attacks dont LOOK jumpable
i mean...look at the video, the flame of grodricks breath attack goes right through your head, the lightning of the dragonkin soldier goes meters up into the air and so on
why would anyone expect an attack that visually goes very high to be jumpable?
This right here. I actually stopped playing Elden Ring relatively early on because I found the dodging mechanics frustrating, and silly me: I was looking at the actual visuals to try to decide what to do.
which is kind of shitty if you think about it but whatever
It's 100% this. You can jump those, but not Messmer's move that causes spears to shoot up out of the ground, or the Fallingstar Beasts' summoned rock stakes? They treated jump dodging like parrying where you're expected to be able tell by common sense what can and can't hypothetically be parried just based on the attack's visuals, but because so many shockwaves have some VFX with no hurtbox that goes 10 feet in the air, guessing which are which is a total crapshoot.
@@dhabu9017 Yeah thats pretty dumb like where would be look to evade? At the games code or what?. I think the devs did a stupid thing but not explaining these things properly or not doing em properly cuz most of us would have never even found without this video telling us...
I didn't even know that jumping can be used to dodge.
"Make sure to explore first"
Me exploring first: *unintentionally advance NPCs quests I didn't even know existed into phase 8/12 without ever even meeting them*

Ive seen a lot of Elden Ring videos DLC or not that suggest they have some incredible knowledge to be bequeathed even to expert players and then it turns out its just stuff like "bleed is broken" and "kill the mother dragon at the start of your game".

You're missing a very important trick. You can mash r1 and l1 during grabs to take less damage and escape faster
What the actual fuck.
@@IronRivie doubt
Just test it with the iron maidens. It works and its a life savior. Not all grabs tho (bosses)
Easiest to notice with enemies that have animations for being broken free from like rune bears.
Of course not all grabs can be escaped from, but it's always worth trying!
Just R1 and L1? I thought I needed to press ALL the buttons lol
The reason you can't parry that pumpkin head's weapon attack is probably because it's a flail and flails can't be parried. Maybe the one with a big mace can be parried?
Unfortunately can't get parried too
Lockn e
The flail can't be parried, the hammer definitely can. Caelid fight with both of them to test it out.
@@Tea_and_Kvetch it depends if the hammer is being 1H or 2H.
I found out the hard way that whips cant be pairred either. Hoslow was a nightmare on my parri build.
people prefering rolling over jumping can be attributed to the fact that most of the attacks don't look like they would be able to clear the actual attack, like the tree demon worm things, took me awhile to figure out that you could dodge the tail swipe by jumping despite clipping into it mid swing
Still hasn't worked for me, only jumps that have worked have been to avoid a couple of floor smashes. Every other jump I've either still been clipped with damage or the enemy decided to do an overhead and I missed the cue.
Not to mention that those of us who already played Dark Souls or Demons Souls are already used to rolling to dodge attack and have to actively think about the prospect of jumping to avoid hits.
Rolling also has the property of moving you to a direction more than a jump would unless you get a running start, and in many cases that is quite useful
Most veteran souls players were bound to roll way more than they jump anyway
@@chizzicleespecially if its quick step and or with low weight
My favorite camera gimmick was in dark souls 3 where if you unlocked your camera against the nameless king and turned it away from the boss when he summons lighting bolts from the sky they would completely miss you instead of tracking you like they're supposed to
@@hazelberry If I remember it even worked on SoC's similar lightning attack
fromsoft logic lmao
Have I missed it, or have you forgot to talk about how the (i'm not kidding) *majority* of people don't use shields properly?
The massive advantage of shields is, that you are invulnerable to most attacks in the game, while you hold the block button, at 0 cost. The only thing holding the block button does is to slow down your stamina, which means it is truly free while at full stamina.
Now that alone isn't "super overpowered", yes. But what people seemingly *always* fail to notice,... is that you can just simply dodge roll out of block. With virtually no delay.
Which means:
If you only dodge roll: You have to be careful not to dodge too late, which significantly increases the risk of dodging **too early**. Especially in Elden Ring, where opponents love to delay their attacks, you often see people rolling around multiple times before the opponent (i.e Margit) finally strikes.
But if you use shield + dodgeroll:
If you fail to roll in time, what happens? Guess what, you simply block the attack and negate it. It will cost a lot of stamina potentially, but your HP is untouched (or dmg heavily reduced, if the attack was infused with magic/elements)
This ultimately means that you don't need to be scared at all about being too late with your dodge roll, and you can truly focus on dodging on reaction to the actual attack, instead of predicting when it will land on anticipation.
This actually trains your brain to be much more comfortable with dodging on sight, rather than on anticiption, and eventually you can even stop using a shield in many situations, being more skilled then you'd ever have been without using a shield.
Whenever I use a shield, I just get stun locked to hell 😂
Shields are good but blocking uses a lot of stamina
Using Shields to parry feels so good ngl
@@Empyrean_Enigma Real gamers dont make up bullshit rules or try to gatekeep how others play
this is so real
Just learning the Glintstone blades target the little invisible balls 😳

@@Atrak8 you could also just get on your horse and use heavy attack, it grinds the weapon across the ground for like 6 seconds. run counter to the ball and easy
@@3217491 With a lance it's even cooler, you take up kind of a jousting stance while holding heavy attack
@@3217491 Ah yeah I tried that a couple of times, and it defintely worked better than just trying to hit it with a normal attack. Good advice :)
👍 do jumping DLC bosses! Please.
The hardest thing about jumping is unlearning to just roll. But after this vid I’m gonn try harder to jump over attacks that are low to the ground. Really great vid so far
You should still try to roll more than jumping just in case your read is off and they do an attack that can catch jumps. The idea is to roll into enemies the majority of the time because it'll plant you near the enemy giving you a chance for retaliation and sometimes you can even end up behind them for a free backstab. I feel like people don't discuss the direction of a roll and how it matters a LOT
@@DrClownPhD Yeah, positioning seems to be an underrated topic. For example, the horse knight in the beginning of the game whenever he used a charged attack, it's best to roll backward so when he stop charging past you, you are not far away from him and can follow it up with an attack.
I do both and once you get used to jumping it’s not bad.
Something I learned in my first playthrough was to attack frequently off of a jump. It usually adds good dps to most bosses without exposing you, but I may be biased as a dual strait sword user (your mileage may vary)
@@DrClownPhD Probably has a lot to do with Dark Souls players already being used to the positioning being very important and kind of take it for granted. A great example of this would be Vordt of the Boreal Valley from Dark Souls 3, it introduces to new players very early on the value of positioning. Even if you do not know about it you'll be very likely to learn it from that fight since if you go for the cake you'll notice you won't have to dodge many attacks and keep slapping that cake with damage.
The thumbnail and title somehow scared me away from the video but after days of avoiding and seeing this video in my recommendations i finally gave in and its full of good advice thank you

i love you for the battleblock music. i love that this can be used in videos for FREE and im so surprised i dont hear it more often
Once I learnt about bosses reading inputs and stopped spamming my buttons the game became much easier. Never roll or attack spam. The enemy is waiting to punish you.
I've had some comically long staredown contests with Malenia due to this 😅

My tip: if you die and drop a lot of runes that you are anxious to get back, put on a sacrificial twig - if you die on the run-back your bloodstain won’t disappear

@@ICr4zyI There a few good ways, the best way is to first reach Mohg’s palace so you can get a bird to keep falling off a cliff. You can get there by doing Varre’s quest line after defeating Godrick the Grafted.
One more tip.
You can 2-hand a shield and it will vastly reduce stamina consumption.
With great shield in 2-nd stance you can easily negate Malenia's flurry, for example
@@TheBeatBen why do that when you can just run around it or just roll it?
Malenia is the worst person to use a shield on because she regens health
Fantastic video, visited for the first time after seeing Aston’s reaction and love how much insight you provided on these mechanics and how clearly you explain it and demonstrate the value. Great content!
Welcome back good sir
Love you!
Good to be back tbh
This is definitely eye opening. I have a bad habit in games being narrow-minded, not deviating from what I know and flooring metas. I definitely need to experiment more before and during the dlc
Same. Sometimes, I think that having played through DS 1-3 and Bloodborne is a bad thing. I'm so stuck in my ways with bad habits. Jumping never ever even registers to me as a defensive option 😒
After restarting many times, I finally came back to the game and finished it last week. With a ton of exploration done. I didn't rush through it. I did mainly stick to one playstyle, but experimented a little here and there. I also watched a lot of videos of different play styles using different weapons and tools. All this makes me have even MORE appreciation for this game. There are so many things to use in the game. What I may think is useless, I see someone else use it to great affect. The game is designed so masterfully that it allows people to be creative. That is NOT easy to do. It is much easier to create a game that forces the player to play a certain way. Only the most extreme gamers will break the game.
@@raimee81 I'd rather the sekiro approach where i just have 1 weapon and the 1 main way of dealing with attacks so i can just focus on raw mechanics instead of "if you use x thing on y enemy it just dies instantly"
When I jump back in, I'm looking to fight Radahn a different way. Fighting his leg/crotch just doesn't do that massive spectacle justice.
@@thedoomslayer5863 well it's always up to personal taste. Sekiro battles are a test of mechanical skill. Elden Ring battles are war. Every boss and miniboss cheats in some way so you gotta cheat back. Personally I really love finding out weaknesses of enemies and exploiting them. I switch out my talismans super often, switch out spells, weapons, etc. This dlc is amazing so far.
Amazing video, didn’t know a quarter of these things - and I’ve watched as many hours of RUclips-tips as I’ve played. Well done!
Thank you for sharing these tips! This knowledge will come in handy pretty soon
The Glintstone for invisible scarab just BLEW MY MIND!!!
Always takes me 3-5 tries standing at 1 point trying to swing a zweihander at the right time 🤣 later on I used Hoarfrost Stomp or Hoarah Loux’ Earthshaker (?). But this is so much easier
You can also equip a spear and be on the horse, then hold heavy attack to couch the lance while standing in its path and the scarab will run into it and die.
I always use Gravitas for those.
At 7:12 the reason you can parry his fist but not his weapon is that flails can’t be parried as an innate weapon quality. This is true for the player too! So if you’re having trouble with, for instance, Moongrum, you can use a flail to avoid getting 1 shot riposted.
The other weapons that have this property are whips, colossal swords or colossal weapons only when held with 2 hands, or any jump attack.
See you in the dlc Tarnished!
You cannot parry the other pumpkin head that has a mace. I guess it could be cuz of the fact they cannot see so the parry doesn't happen? But then again you can parry the headless knights.
@@squalltheonly Why would one's lack of sight impede what another being can do to you? The mace variant doesn't drop the mace, so, based on OP's statement, I can only guess that internally the mace is classified as a colossal weapon that the enemy does wield with two hands.
@@Inferryu brah, there us no logic to these games. Just roll with it. The guy is blind so he doesn't believe in anything lol
@@squalltheonlythere absolutely is, just because youre not picking up on it doesnt mean its not there
@@blowfishfootman it goes both ways by your logic.
Great video, i actually learned some things i did not know, and love that the best advice you gave was to just use everything and have fun.
You forgot to mention that you can jump over Mohg's flying slash attack AND get a jump attack in while doing so. You can also jump the double spin slash that watchdogs do with a well timed jump (also getting a jump attack in)
Less forgot more like "you can jump over like half the attacks in the game". I bet if someone made a video compiling all the attacks u can jump it would be at least an hour or two long.
I thought I knew all the attacks I could jump since I'm dual wielding curved swords, arguably best jump attack in the game. Still I had no idea you could jump over Godrick's flamethrower attack
You should try double twinblades. Very similar to curved swords and do stupid damage... Unless they nerfed it I didnt follow the updates for a while and its been a few months since i tried em.
yOu FoRgOt To MeNtIoN
@@yikes6969 bogos binted
Jumping is fantastic, however it's biggest issues is that it's very hard to know what attacks can be jumped over (unless it's very obvious like Elden Beasts AoE Ring Pulse), and which can't.
Rolling is a far safer option in most cases when you don't yet know a bosses attacks fully, however once do, the combination of rolling and jumping makes you practically invincible.
Hmm is it kind of like part of the experience/knowledge check?
I.e. if you know an attack is low enough to be jumpable, you use a 60 frame hitbox displacement jump. Then if it's an attack that you know is not jumpable, you use a 26 frame full roll. Although initially finding out which are jumpable might take some hurty learnin?
In a similar fashion, you technically can't know which attacks can be rolled theough either. While it probably has a higher success rate, both evasion methods don't work for everything 🤔
@@cykeok3525 it's not like trying to find out *when* to dodge is free of hurting.
The game gives you unlimited tries, so just put on the best damage negation buffs and experiment for yourself. Seeing what works when is a huge part of the fun too
There's also the fact that a lot of attacks you can/should jump over don't make logical sense. Such as every overhead attack shown.
Why in the world would you ever think to jump INTO an attack hitting you from above to dodge it?
Never got more info in such a straightforward manner in 10 minutes. Subbed!
I will rewatch this one for sure. Thanks for putting it all together!
I thought the title was a bit condescending but this is probably the best starter guide I've seen

@@skinnytimmy1 If we recommend it as a starter guide then yes, a beginner can still have things spoiled if they play the game later than other people. For everyone else its obviously not a problem.
This is probably one of the best informative Elden Ring videos out there. Excellent work.
the jumping part is so good, I converted into a jumping believer after watching Zullie’s video. I started trying to jump everything
You can dodge the first part of waterfowl dance up close by jumping if you run and then jump as soon as the flurry appears
Saved me from many deaths and sometimes didn't take damage at all even though I was right in front of the attack although it's not very consistent and you can still get hit midair
Turns you get i-frames from the chest down when you initiate the jump all through to landing. So you're essentially invulnerable for longer than rolling if you are in an ideal position. Rolling gives you i-frames, jumping gives you 2 i-seconds lol.
WHAT??? these would make such a cool playstyle, you're like a weaponmaster that is constantly adapting to the task at hand, that's so cool
There are hundreds of weapons and a lot of infinitely available upgrade materials. Why would you ever limit yourself to one weapon? Go have fun!

I have learned so much. From a guy who "Only" watched Soulslike games his whole life to playing my first Soulslike game ever (Elden Ring) because of my cousin lol.

@@piotr78 Yeah though at least there they give you a cue and it's always a sweeping attack. You sorta have to guess which attacks are jumpable in elden ring though you can get more mileage in ER

Your video was great!! I learned so much!! Thank you!!
bro, i wish i found your channel like way sooner man, you saved me some headache, thanks man
Dude, that video was amazing! I've seen few others mentioning interesting uses of some items, but this was the most condensed, helpful and innovative. I'm going to train the jump dodges right away!
This advice sounds practically prophetic after playing the DLC. Definitely going to expirement more going forward.
Also, the editing in this is so tight. So much good information, so easy to follow, such a short amount of time compared to other Elden Ring videos.
This video is such a shotgun blast of useful information, I feel like I could watch it a hundred times and still forget stuff, great non the less, I apprciate you not wasting peoples time!
I think the most important thing you said here is to “just have fun”
That’s what Elden Ring is about. It’s about having fun. My recommendation is to just play the game with no limitations first. Do whatever the heck you want. Run a bleed build, use a mimic tear, big shield block everything.
I do recommend the strategy of “getting good” because I personally find it to be really enjoyable- I mean just look at those sick dodges at the first half of the video, but you can do it on a second play through.
What I’ve done is basically a character who just uses whatever I think is fun and then created alternative characters who function in a specific type of fantasy. The big armored Paladin focusing on strength and faith using big shields and guard counters with holy incantations and sacred or fire infused weapons (fire scales strength/faith and Paladins in World of Warcraft do have some fire related abilities- but I limited this to weapon infusions only)
I made an assassin build utilizing daggers and a twin blade for one play through and Jesus that was difficult in some places. Bleed builds are OP, but not if youre effectively fighting with your fists… there were some boss attacks I couldn’t even punish because they have a pushbox forcing me to stand a certain distance away but their actual hurtbox to hit them was too far still for a dagger to hit LOL
But I had fun overcoming the challenges that I set in place for myself AFTER playing the game the first time.
8:00 Sorry but best i can do is 4 offensive talismans and raging because i get 1 shot.
It’s ridiculous how good this video is. So much good info.
Thanks for the tips and congrats on the video!
I've played about 2 hours of Eldin ring so far. watched a guide. I don't think people under stand how the first 5sec of this video is so true... apparently I can heal with a flask. I don't know if I have one. what button to press. how to unlock it if I need to. How to equip it. How to swap between it and other equipped items. The one 30min video I have watched on Eldin Ring that went through stuff was all PlayStation instructions.
@@SuperLifestream You'd be surprised as well at how many mini bosses you can beat by simply staying on your horse... I beat the tree sentinel by simply riding around on torrent, going up close, slashing and simply riding away whenever he does his attacks, did the same for majority of the dragons and giants as well.... Horse fighting is awkward yes, but once you can master it, it's very useful
Jumping the fire furnace enemies attacks is so fun. Its crazy because in Sekiro the jump was hard even when you were more mobile but jumping in this game and especially dlc is reactive and works. Even final bosses pull attack can be jumped safe.
Magnificent. You didn't just do the job, you make your video fascinating, understandable, I bet it is still fun to watch even someone who already know all the techniques you talking about
Something to keep in mind for guard counters is to read enemy movements and always try to block the very last attack/attack which have a slow follow-up. You can pretty reliably punish a lot of Malenia attacks. It also does a heck ton of posture damage. Even normal longsword can stance break her in a couple of hits
I got downvoted to oblivion for telling ppl on Reddit who are complaining about the dlc these exact tips. I’m convinced ppl are still playing this game like it’s DS3 and don’t understand the mechanics at all
I confirm to you that even after playing through ds2, ds3, bloodborne and elden ring i don't understand the mechanics of this game unfortunately...
So many area of effect attacks...
Yeah redditors are all braindead.
It's totally ok, elden ring is like a weird conglomeration of sekiro and dark souls in a lot of ways. One of the best and most central pieces of advice I've seen about mindset in regard to this game vs the souls series is that bosses do not provide openings in the same way. A lot of the field bosses and simpler bosses will leave opportunities to get some swings in but the idea ER is built around is attacking through the bosses attacks. You need to play around with what attacks you can throw that'll let you swing under certain boss attacks and which attacks they throw with long wind-ups. This is why Margit is placed where he is. His entire flight is designed to teach you to punish bosses big "get fucked" attacks.
It's reddit, what did you expect? Talking sense into those people there is like talking to a wall.
Playing this game like DS three is the only way to play it.
It’s videos like these that give me so much confidence in my personal play through because it makes me realize how difficult I’m making the game for myself and I’ve still made it so far ! 😂 ty for this awesome video

I'm just standing there, blocking with my big stone slab shield and poking with Vyke's Spear. Works most of the time, eventually.
Recently finished my second run where I used parry when I could but, most importantly, every advantage I can get my hands on, mostly ingnored summons but lots of the tips you showed are really helpful in practice, jars, perfumes, some incantations, other craftables; and after watching this video I see I can squeeze even more from the game, that's amazing

These are some great tips!
theres a better stealth cheese for the leyndell draconic sentinel. poison mist doesnt draw his attention. you can just sit behind him while he slowly dies without ever noticing a thing
Jeez, just the quality of the capture/upload has me mesmerized let alone the strategy!
You know what’s funny… I stumbled a staggered animation of one of the giants when I attempted to jump attack its arm swings… to this point. Realizing that whenever it lowers its body to swing its sword or arms. Jump attack at its head caused it to stagger immediately. Huh…
The strafing tip is something I've only recently started doing on my own. It helps SO much in the Mohg fight, for example
when the dlc came out
had to play the game from the beginning the first thing I did was fight the tree sentinel

I tried jumping over the attacks that looked low enough when the game first came out. When it worked it felt amazing, but it felt far too inconsistent which attacks were avoidable and which werent. The animations for this can be incredibly misleading, so i eventually just stopped jumping with most melee attacks and only jumped over obvious aoe attacks and sweeps.
Thanks for changing my perspective on this game: prior to realising how many mechanics i overlooked there was an ironic complaint on my part about how simple the combat felt, how useless the jump felt and how it seemed to take several steps back in regards to the series evolution.
Your video made me realize that Elden Ring was exactly the type of Souls game i was looking for, i just played it like any other. I can't stress enough how rewarding it is to constantly cycle through many options in my build, trying to fit some type of elemental damage in an INT build for example, and crafting any consumable that can enhance the experience. I now approach each encounter as a puzzle of sort and beforehand prepare to not be optimal (i don't like pedantic min/maxxing) but to have fun.
The base game doesn't require you to adapt to every encounter, aside from bosses nothing will really challenge you to that point, but i want to say it's so refreshing playing a souls game as an rpg and not a full on action game for once
I feel like they added jumping to throw of the OG players from Dark Souls and Bloodborne haha, but especially in the DLC they have designed it so you have to use all the mechanics including "Parry". It's truly incredible how much thought they put into this game.
Correction: You don't even need to finish Bernard's quest to get it-just kill him in the shack at stormveil before joining volcano manor and after joining them give the bell bearing to twin maiden husk at roundtable
his armor is baller early game although you probably won’t be able to wear it right away
Bernard 💀

Miyazaki wanted to troll the old bois from Souls series by making roll less effective compared to jump.
I mean, how were you supposed to know this? Look at 2:04, every visual indication tells you, you messed up, yet it was the right course of action. I would've tried jumping a lot more if i knew that hitboxes were that scuffed.
@@PSYMEDIC I mean to be fair rolling also looks like you are just running into attacks sometimes. The only reason jump dodges feel strange at first is because they are a new mechanic.
@@PSYMEDIC And then on the other hand, Rykard's earthquake attack & Radagon's triple slam look like textbook jump-able attacks but... they just aren't.
He's a hack game dev.
Not true at all
I've been rolling all this time, loved the hitbox vs frames explanation, it now makes sense why so many attacks feel like unfair connects
10/10 video ngl. It just shows the full gameplay possibilities of the game that can allow you to have fun. Recently i've played through the game in preparation for the dlc just using bloodhound's fang, buff from the commander's standard and a flask with agility and strength tears and oh boy, bosses were already melting from the damage, it ain't even the best setup you can make and it already made me op.
Either get cracked at rolling or go back to your roots and use a shield. I had to learn radahn and parry him..
Great video, thanks for the tips!!
So bro is basically telling me I've been playing Elden Ring like I play Bayonetta when I should be playing like it's Devil May Cry. Thank you sir.
I've been saying this since elden ring came out
From soft likes to punish conditioned responses that's why there's so many prime locations tour brain goes there's gotta be an item back here but it's an empty hallway
I noticed lots of early game enemy's dip back out of straight sword range and make r1 spam useless and alot of enemy's have a lunge strike mechanic when u roll that's the exact distance to grab a roll spamer
Pre-purchased this game and only now, late June 24, I am playing. Subscribed to your channel.. sounds like you will be a good source for solid information.
thanks for this video. I get really frustrated on some attacks, but now realize I was supposed to jump over them. It's dumb how this is not explained in the tutorial, especially when this mechanic was not prominent in other fromsoft games.
Bro I watched this video and I was like this guy sounds real familiar and then I just realized that I used to watch your terraria calamity mod videos and now you make elden ring videos, my two favorite games of all time. Pretty cool
Going to be real hard to get out of the habit of rolling after playing all the souls games and never being a parry god.
This video is like the ultimate cheat sheet to Elden Ring mechanics, 10/10 video.
Beaten the game 2 years ago, as well as the DLC last week and its so many tips in this vid that I never knew about until now. Great video
I can't tell you if I've ever, even once, watched a 12 minute video uninterrupted without skipping ahead or closing it altogether. This is fantastic
Sir, you need to work on your attention span. Or... I hope this is a joke
Adhd tik tokkers lol
Average Soulsborne player
"Who do you think is tankier...?"
Neither they're both going to get instagibbed.
30 vigor naked? Dies in one or two hits. 60 vigor full Havels (or whatever is the Elden Ring equivalent of Havels)? Dies in one or two hits.
Yea, it really doesn't matter because if you get hit once, you're gonna stagger and keep getting hit until you die or the boss decides to be nice 😂
Great video, I think the title doesn't portray how useful this video is. I just got an undergrad degree in Elden Ring from watching this. I can tell you put a lot of effort into this video. Thanks.
