It's incredible how much meaningful side content this game has, none of them feel recycled and each new area has a different approach to encounters and activities
You do not need to go that full dangerous rooftop route, you can work your way across the roofs and drop down safely above the guys with the ballistas rather than go through the Knights and stuff. You don't even need to fight the guys on the roof before scaling the buildings as you can just jump over and they won't follow. This saves so much time, health and flasks for when you need them. You should really make a follow up to this video showing the proper route for that
You don’t have to do any of that. The courtyard with a ton of soldiers and 1 troll, go there. Find outdoor stairs that lead down to the archway with 3 guards back turned. Straight through and entrance is on the left. Watch the lion in the bushes.
Or maybe stop being a panzy and fight the enemies like the game intended, why everybody say the best way to avoid fights, thats literally the gameplay u were intended to play... git gud. U can rachargw flasks wen u get to a site of grace u noob
If you’ve got the speed you don’t need the long path or stonesword key. Get the npc to open the gate and sprint right, there’s a grace almost immediately
@@ungabungacaveman9021 you equip it and it does almost nothing until you use rune arcs, this goes for all of them, think of this as being embered or reversing hollowing.
The easiest way is if you exit from Rampart Tower grace, head out, to the right, run-jump to the roof across and below, and then jump on to the small stone ledge to your forward left. Hug that ledge and keep going until you finally drop to the area around 1:51 in the video
It does nothing until you use a rune arc its a new death mechanic if you die you have to use another arc to get the bonus its like hollowing or effigys but for bonus stats
to anyone who is confused why they didn’t show the path the stone sword key area, it’s right next to where you go when you jump down from rampart tower, it’s right on the ground from the last jump
@@FijianSouljah1312 Lets be honest, a lot of them are garbage. They could at least have a little more health. If you don't go in underleveled you are flooring most side bosses in this game. Bloodborne dungeons bosses could take a hit.
It's complicated. It's in the tower on the east of Liurnia : "Carian Study Hall", however, to be able to active the rune, you need to find the Carian Inverted Statue to drop on the pedestal in the entrance, to get that item, you need to give Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade, which is ...in Nokron, so much later into the game.
Starts at some random location, then go to the ballistas, and keep moving forward, once you're at the tower rest at a grace and you can activate the great rune
A little note for anyone that wasted there time with the second path. If you just let the dude at the start open the front gate, you can just fuckin run to where he is rn. You don't *have* to fight if you just dodge the arrows. All this path he showed was just to shut the arrows down, nothing else.
When you get to the ballistas if you go to the front gate of the castle on the right there is a grace so then you don’t have to do this horrible run again.
This didn't help one bit. You gave two different ways and didn't show anything for the first one. You tell us to start at the Rampart Tower but then show yourself down on the ground. Thanks but I'll find another video.
When you did all this right by mistake & watch the video sitting at the entrance to the divine tower without knowing it’s where you needed to be the whole time😭 I love being a gamer bro, instincts are crazy
False and misleading (as expected of IGN). Equipping great runes DO NOT yield any effects UNLESS you use a rune arc. Rune arcs do not make great rune effects 'more potent', these are required if you want any kind of equipped great rune to take effect at all.
Confused as to why for option 1 you said to start the the Rampart Tower grace site and not the Stormveil Gate grace which just requires you to run around the corner to the Limgrave Tower Bridge. It’s a super short route and also doesn’t require a stonesword key
Someon oughta pin this, just go to Ramparts, down small lift in the corner, through room with 7 armed monster you killed and the huge painting of Godrick, make left to enter the courtyard with all the soldiers and big bows aimed at the door and 1 troll. From there look for the outside narrowish stairs that lead down to an archway and out the gate. Get past the lion and the entrance is on the left. Can’t miss it.
Looked up this guide but then continued playing, brute forced my way to the main gate from the grace next to godrick fight, killed the dog and found it myself!
Just go to stormveil main gate. Talk to the weird possessed dude. Tell him to open the gate. On the left up some stairs there is a grace sight. After that dodge the ballistas and don’t even try to kill enemy’s. Once at top of the hill take right go straight through the tiger. Rest at grace. Run past giant fire dudes. Use the thing to get across bridge and boom. Took me 1 minute to do it. Don’t use the video. He shows a 5 minute path for no reason
This is wrong, even when you 'activate' it, this does not boost you at all, you need the rune arcs to truly give you the boosts, this video implies that the arcs enhance the boosts you already get from the rune, this is not the case, rune arcs give the true and only boost,, seems ridiculous and unfair the ring fragments can only be used this way
Start at Ramparts Tower...(skips the most important part about which path to take)...which will eventually lead you to these ballistas
Bro in so confused
Exactly no context at all
Fr
@@venonymousgames7804go straight the way the ballistas are pointing lmao, he literally said that
@@Zichri10from the rampart tower that he mentions as being the starting point, you cant even see where the ballistas are to know what way to go

The only thing recycled is some of the bosses
Watchdog with sword, watchdog with scepter, or both in the same fight 😂
I've been a souls fan since dark souls 1 and I've been blown away so far
Definitely a lot of work put into this game
@@Wellgee the tree sentinels and black cavalry dudes keep going for a rematch for the 6th time
Anyone else feel like IGN has changed over the last couple of years? It feels like people who actually play video games work there now.
Those other guys are all at gamespot
Yeah, they only have just 1 or 2 fuckups a year. They used to have much more
Fr
Yeah they are stating to get my respect back
You work there don’t you?
“The easier path is this way” doesn’t show how to get there from sight of grace
Follow the map to the tower after defeating the ballista guys. Here’s a hint, it’s not the gate the ballistas are looking at
@@austindeans3852 ok but WHERE EVEN ARE THEY AT
@@servalkorion686 just do it
@@servalkorion686 did you figure it out? I'm confused

Can you explain why you didn't to show the route not including the spawn, just you in a random location?
My favorite part of this video is when they skip certain sections and don’t mention it at all :))))
Oh, like how to specifically get to the ballistas and stonesword gate? Me too!
@@andrewfigueroa9545 Yes WTF
Worst part is it’s a huge detour just go through main gate and turn right and it’s literally there
Womp womp
You immediately lost me opon, "go to the rooftops" where? Which way? From which direction??? This is no help at all
Seriously. All the little cuts leave you wondering where the hell to go.
If you’ve got the speed you don’t need the long path or stonesword key. Get the npc to open the gate and sprint right, there’s a grace almost immediately
Left
@@shortbreadhead Nah, when entering through the main gate it’s right
@@ianmrsh U sure? The gate the gate keeper opens? Its left from there up the little stairs and back on yourself into the little room with the grace
@@stevenross-watt8640 there's a grace on both side, the one on the right is the one on the bridge that leads to the huge divine tower.
Hate when they do that. Take this path to the right but doesn’t show where to go. Would be a 4sec clip.
if you keep cutting the video in key parts nobody knows where tf youre going 😊
Frrr😅
dont forget to use rune arcs to active his bonus
Do the rine arcs make it stronger or does it do nothing UNLeSS you use a rune arc?
It does nothing unless you use the rune arc
@@patricioolmos6198 does that apply for all runes or just Godrick's?
That’s not true, rune arcs just make it stronger
@@ungabungacaveman9021 you equip it and it does almost nothing until you use rune arcs, this goes for all of them, think of this as being embered or reversing hollowing.
you have to use a Rune Arc whenever you want to get the effects of the great rune (e.g. giga Buff until you die)
no that is only if you want to buff the rune stats it says it aty 4:45
@@iquew4389well guess what? they're wrong!!!!!
The easiest way is if you exit from Rampart Tower grace, head out, to the right, run-jump to the roof across and below, and then jump on to the small stone ledge to your forward left. Hug that ledge and keep going until you finally drop to the area around 1:51 in the video
you don't even have to alert the halberd knight in the video if you land early on that platform
dont even need to do that. just turn right as soon as you leave tower and follow cliff
1:39 you can actually jump straight to this roof directly from the Rampart Tower Grace
seem like its patched ive been trying to jump and my players acts like he cant make it
It does nothing until you use a rune arc its a new death mechanic if you die you have to use another arc to get the bonus its like hollowing or effigys but for bonus stats
Using a rune arc with the great rune equipped is closer to embering in dark souls 3 but with a choice of effects
Finally! I’ve been banging my head trying to figure out where to go for this.
Wow this was very helpful
You made that so confusing
this video helped a lot, without spoiling the whole game, thasnks!!
this video is wrong using rune arc doesn't make it stronger. It just activates it.
This doesn't really show where the Key gate is... just a 5 second clip of sneaking in which could be anywhere in the castle 🥴
Where’d you go in the beginning so confused
Don’t want to be rude but you seriously skip the most import part of where to drop down from after the night fights at 3:10. I’ll just keep looking
to anyone who is confused why they didn’t show the path the stone sword key area, it’s right next to where you go when you jump down from rampart tower, it’s right on the ground from the last jump
It’s a treat to have a incredible game like this in an era of garbage like COD, 2042 and 2077
Yeah

@@oskarikarkkainen5606 Eh besides that the story is awesome. Besides you guys shouldn’t talk considering how Elden Ring got the stutters

Left out the entire path to ballistas and from there to the bridge dawg
Epic! Thanks for the wonderful guide. Gonna go with the StoneKey method, & looking forward to tackling those bridge titans 🙏🏽
the constant jump cut editing is absolutely killing me. take a decent guide and make is needlessly confusing by adding jump cuts.
40 hours in and did not know this wow. Thanks for this
Initial instructions unclear.
Amazing video!! Nice easy and straight to the point!!
Starts at some random location, then go to the ballistas, and keep moving forward, once you're at the tower rest at a grace and you can activate the great rune
Just show us the path😂 the only thing we want and he skips it…
You can also buy rune arcs from the Twin Maiden husks at the roundtable for 4000 runes
Exactly
Dude thanks for the video ive been trying to figure this out forever
A little note for anyone that wasted there time with the second path. If you just let the dude at the start open the front gate, you can just fuckin run to where he is rn. You don't *have* to fight if you just dodge the arrows. All this path he showed was just to shut the arrows down, nothing else.
no that we are here ? and you cut the scene dude! 3:37 you didnt even you show where you moved
Just go to the right from where you dealt with the bilistas
Speaking of vague, how do you get to the ballistas in the beginning lol
Also my problem terrible guide
When you get to the ballistas if you go to the front gate of the castle on the right there is a grace so then you don’t have to do this horrible run again.
I’m getting gaped by the ballista wash spawn now lol
@@BobmaxXD lol hug the left and go up and kill the ballistas again
He’s using twin blade. Is that recommended over bloodhound fang
Skip all that roof stuff, ignore the ballistas, run past them lol
The locations in this video are wrong. Watch another guide instead of this
This didn't help one bit. You gave two different ways and didn't show anything for the first one. You tell us to start at the Rampart Tower but then show yourself down on the ground. Thanks but I'll find another video.
You get rune arcs for helping people beat boss's and for beating hosts while invading too
When you did all this right by mistake & watch the video sitting at the entrance to the divine tower without knowing it’s where you needed to be the whole time😭 I love being a gamer bro, instincts are crazy
False and misleading (as expected of IGN). Equipping great runes DO NOT yield any effects UNLESS you use a rune arc. Rune arcs do not make great rune effects 'more potent', these are required if you want any kind of equipped great rune to take effect at all.
itd be much better if you didnt fade or cut because us newbies want to be able to follow you to the destination. speed up the footage instead
The best farm for rune arcs I've found is the mini boss near the village of albinaurics. Drop down your summon and kick his butt.
Can't you just buy more
Confused as to why for option 1 you said to start the the Rampart Tower grace site and not the Stormveil Gate grace which just requires you to run around the corner to the Limgrave Tower Bridge. It’s a super short route and also doesn’t require a stonesword key
1:00 what is the incantation equipment behind that fog gate? Names of the gear?
Godskin seal and godskin book of some sort
This does not work. The door is 'Tightly Blocked Shut'
thank you this was very helpful
How many times did you die to knight starting at 1:55? Just run past him...
Stop editing out the mini walks. It's frustrating
theyre editing out the deaths lol
Instructions unclear of where ballistas we're, now lost
the gate wont open for me
Anyone else stuck on like what to do like dark souls was pretty straight forward but I’m so confused in elden ring
Thank you for making me guess where to go half of the time
You can also get runes/rune arcs for helping people in boss areas!
Could've shown a lot more map screen shots
This guide is so wrong😂 it’s so complicated it’s super easy to get there actually lol😂
Thank man this video really helped

3:14 deserves recognition
I'm in the second to last area, in my level 70's and just now finding out about this lmao
You get rune arcs easy from playing co op and helping other people.
Doesnt show how to get their
Killing bosses in other people's worlds get you a rune arc
Thank you! Much love
Killing a boss as a coop player will give you an arc every time as well.
Best video about how to activate the great rune.
Once past the, its a few shorts drops literally cuts where we are supposed to drop
"You start at the rampart Tower" doesn't show path from rampart tower
Congratulations on making one of the most confusing “guides” I’ve ever watched
Ah, so these are extra buffs powered by humanities. Nice
so can u take rune arcs at any time to boost your attributes temporarily?
FINALLY a walkthrough that's actually helpful. Thank you!
He doesn't show where to drop down on the ballista
Thanks for the help
This game is deeper than the Mariana trench
does the rune effect reset if you rest at a site of grace or if you fast travel also?
why tf would u cut the video right where it shows how to get to the ballistas ffs
Where did you find your weapon?
Thank you very Much!!
kinda skipped a step after “once pass then a few steps down the ballistas”. needed to check another video
Did you find out where to go??

*fails to mention you can run past all enemies through the castle grounds in 30 seconds*
Why is the teleporter not there for me?
Maybe not have so many cuts in the video
the easier part is what way?
What level was this guy when he did this
But it won’t let me open the door. It says it’s tightly blocked shut???
