@@wildmoose3979 I dont See the use in doing that. I tried it once on demons Souls, wich was my First Souls Game, it took me ages to get where the normal Knight class is when starting out. Never again, it Just wasted 10 hours or so Just to get to lvl 12 with some decent Armour and weapon. Altough Club is okay.
@@__-fi6xg use? Bold of you to assume I'm not just a insane person who craves a challenge much worse than what anyone else is going through via having to grind for 3 hours just to be equal to the other base classes
I remember starting to play Elden Ring and seeing the guy and thinking "I'm not supposed to go against him right now". And then I went against him for the next two hours, before finally being able to beat him and realizing that his weapon was useless for my sorcerer. 10/10, best experience I had in this game.
@@LandBoundFish eh true, there's a bunch of cool swords and katanas with intelligence. I'm more sad about how much reapers and fists and whips and spears use faith. I use the Clayman's Harpoon because it's the strongest int spear.

Shen I really do appreciate the fact that you take the time to edit your streams down like this, it must absolutely suck sometimes so I just want to say thank you, as a viewer.
Fun fact, your video "Being bad in Elden Ring Network test" made my buy the game only days after release. I have never ever played a souls game before, yellow horse man was pain... But EVENTUALLY i checked his vibe, stole his crap, sub level 20 but man... i do not want to say how many times i died
Definitely not because her whole backstory is about sapping strength from alot to revive a single God. In retrospect should took 25 and been over with it😂
Quick note: There is a *MUCH* easier way to get on the tower with the Turtle shell. You just need to use the spirit spring at the bottom of the tower to yeet yourself up.
@@moogleplay9131 I think shaming people for interacting with her channel in a way that isn't negative is kind of silly.. he wasn't mean or nasty, just left a suggestion that isn't specifically meant for Shen but for people who also might see this and play the game?
@@moogleplay9131 yeah this is not a bad comment, when it comes to my pinned comment I meant more people being like "omg shen do this or do that, change that weapon" I encourage people to leave tips on my comment section for others so they don't do the stupid shit I did!
Most people I've seen aren't very good at using the mount. But to me the mount was legit hacks for any mobs, the Knights of any area, any mounted enemies or the troll enemies and especially the Tree Avatars.... to the point that I kinda felt bad for using it my first run especially by the time I decided I started exploring Caelid.... And it definitely made that one space bull enemy in mount gelmir super easy, I forgot his name. 🤣 Was it Fallingstar beast? Can't be 100% on that. Before I knew it I stopped using the mount cuz I felt I was just skipping and cheesing everything.
Sometimes a boss is easier to fight if you can use Torrent to cheese out of their attacks, letting you hit and fade (dragons especially are almost unbeatable without him because they just fly away from you, look at you, then reduce you to ashes with a massive gout of flame). But other times he's a liability because he completely reduces your defensive options to only "run away" or "jump over". You can't dodge while mounted, you can't block, and you're extra easy to stagger or knock down because Torrent has his own stability and it's not high.
This literaly looks fun from hearing ur reactions even tho i never played games like these it is jsut fun seeing ur reactiona and seeing fun it is for others
The game is very punishing but extremely rewarding and the sense of exploration and discovery is unlike anything else I've experienced. If you have a bit of time to commit to learning how the game works then I would highly highly recommend giving it a try.
Big hecking shoutouts to Shen and Classy for delivering this feature length BOMB of a video even though Shen wasn't even through Stormveil yet. Gonna enjoy any future Elden Ring videos.
21:00 "there goes my souls...or whatever they're called" Me playing Bloodborne with a friend recently: "Yeah go and spend some of your runes on flasks...what on what?...Whatever they're called, blood things!"
A couple things for not-Shen folks *That archway thing you see on the left side of the screen, above the items, means you can summon a pet. It costs FP to do so, but they can give you an edge in battle. You won't get any flak from me, at least, for doing it. You can get the thing to let you summon those pets by visiting that first chapel at night. *There exists a tool in Limgrave to make Margit's fight... somewhat easier. It's still not simple, and I'm sure as heck not going to tell you where or what because it's literally in the item description, but it exists.
In addition to the spirit summon pets mentioned, some require health to be summoned instead of FP. These summons tend to be stronger, however they are better hidden and can only be reached in later stages. one of which is the Mimic Tear summon, which was nerfed but it still stong.
I love how much it takes the player to get used to Elden Ring's ever-so-wonderful delayed attacks. Especially watching Shen in the early game getting caught by them again and again 😝
“The mad 🥩taint🥩-“ “Haha you said taint!” Not even ten minutes in and I already love this 🤣 I like to imagine that the narrator is trying to say shit and Shen is just in his face going “It… it me?? iT ME! IT ME!!!”
Shenpai I'm so thankful to you for uploading this I've been waiting for sooo long ... 2 days actually cause I just beat the game 2 days ago so I can't receive any spoilers now finally Dog
Woah. I have watched a LOT of people play this game at this point, and I have never, EVER seen someone die to the tutorial boss :O Truly, Shen is one of a kind. VERY impressed, in a way, sortof. Many golf claps are being held in honor of this momentous event.
I just wanna share that I am 140 hours into Elden Ring and haven't finished it yet, while every single content creator I know has already finished it I was wishing I could finish it before shen uploaded her gameplay, now I have to see her full playthrough and then I'll finish the game lmao
I love the cartoonish sound effects that are added to certain moments. Makes it seem like the death that would happen shortly afterwards is that much sillier than it was supposed to be
just wanted to thank you for another elden ring video. the comments are off so i just wanted to make sure that you knew i was excited and am going to enjoy watching it over the next few days.
Literally raged when she got up on the tower with the turtle shield from the edge because I tried that for HOURS before realizing you're supposed to use the spring at the bottom. Great job shen
I think a cool thing you could add is, on top of the death counter, a counter that tracks how many times you die to a specific boss. It would especially be interesting to see how many times you die to a certain boss that has “never seen defeat.”
45:20 theres a dodge rule in this, apparently side rolls will dodge those straight out attacks but rolling away they can still reach you. So for example imagine if all the attacks are an axis left to right up to down back to forward. or a combination of those pairs. all of them can be dodges a specific way, except charge and jumps. charge and jumps are generally AOE's to force you into a position.
So for those of you who might be struggling against the Grafted Scion in Stormveil Castle, one good strategy is to poke it a little, then run through a doorway that the Scion can’t fit through, then when’s it has lost interest in you run up and poke some more; just rinse and repeat till it’s dead. Especially effective if you hit it with magic or arrows as you can stay closer to your doorway and risk less of your health.
The death threshold for falling cannot be affected at all by double-jumping or anything like that. You will ALWAYS die from a fall higher than twenty meters, and you'll take damage from a fall higher than sixteen meters. If you're like me and I can't figure out heights for the life of you, use Rainbow Stones to test out the height of any fall. Toss one over the edge, and if hits the ground without breaking, you'll survive the fall! If it shatters though, it's a fatal impact.
You won't have to worry about being slower than everyone else Shen *My computer died when I got to Siofra River, and I haven't been able to play this game for multiple months. It hurts*
So, there's no point in trying to help Shen at this point since she's about 150 hours further into the game from these streams, but for anyone else who doesn't know- LEVEL YOUR FREAKING VIGOR. You HAVE to in this game. This isn't bloodborne where you can get away with 12-15. Endgame, you should be shooting for a minimum of 40-60 vigor. Level up that bad boy or you're gonna get one-shot by everything. There are bosses that will OHKO you at 40 vigor if you're not careful further into the game.
60 Vig + Full Veterans Set and I still felt like I was one bad move away from getting my shit kicked in. Boss damage in this game is fucking insane and I hate it.
Feels less like dark souls damage and more like monster hunter damage. I don't mind it so much, especially having sunk over 2k hours into MH over the years, but having to automatically tick off 35 points or so from my builds to get my hp into survivable territory is pretty annoying.
@@funnyvalentinedidnothingwrong I'm glad I'm not the only one. Every time I've mentioned it to others people just shrug,as if getting one-shot unless half your levels are in HP is just "perfectly normal design"
It's Shen traditions to not create Voxer in Souls games (surprisingly enough she doesn't create John in Bloodborne ), that honored is only for John Souls
@@multiplefandom4199 In my second playthrough of Bloodborne I did make John Bloodborne!!! I deafeated Ludwig in 45 seconds on it because I used the pizzar cutter, the beast buff and lightning buff and it justr.,,, melted him
@AeroViro played the game front to back, like, 10 times and for some reason NEVER thought to use beast blood pellets with the Whirligig Saw It makes way too much sense
Every elden ring video episode 1 I watch is a death montage against the tree sentinel for a big portion of the video. There will be a i give up, i will come back. a vow not to fight it again and then a going back and fighting it anyway then eventually defeating it. Thankfully your video was longer that 20 minutes so got to see more than just the first church
Watching her fighting the Tree Sentinel reminded me that there is a word that defines when you keep repeating the same thing over and over agian expecting a different result, but I can't remember what that word is...
Yeah, dont want to fight Varre. Might accidentally aggro him into a perpetual death cycle and hate shit on the game. Couldnt imagine anyone doing that...
Finally an entertaining personality that plays this game the way she fucking wants to. No OP weapons and winning trading hits with bosses. No prior checking of the meta or other guides. Actually feels like she is beating the challenges rather than finding a way to cheese them. 10/10 new subscriber.
I hate this game, I have six characters and six builds and one me and I can’t stop playing please send help. I’ve been trapped in Eldengaol for months. I love this game!
Shen you're enthusiasm, wonder, and excitement over everything in these games is so refreshing and it makes me smile! Please keep playing and enjoying these games if you can/want to, and ignore all those salty backseaters and haters!
The elden ring opening is so good the voice acting is so fucking good and it empowers you so much to be ready to slaughter some big boys and husbands and wives
I know this video is like 2 years old now, but for those who either don't know or met Blaidd afterwards the bloodhound knight is infinitely easier with Blaidd! I'm nowhere near Shen's level of skill at this game and was able to beat him first try by summoning Blaidd! Either that or I just got super lucky 😅

If you're like me and I can't figure out heights for the life of you, use Rainbow Stones to test out the height of any fall. Toss one over the edge, and if hits the ground without breaking, you'll survive the fall! If it shatters though, it's a fatal impact.
I have been waiting for so long for her to upload her playthrough!
Lets fucking goooooo
Time to watch this 50 times a year!!!
Her blocking a Rune Bear with a buckler shield was beautiful
Love how Shen went crazy at beginning for the literal hardest boss in the game. You might like her now, but wait 100 deaths.
you're literally the only RUclips creator i really enjoy to watch with those soul like games.
John Ring is good and all, but when I first read "Elden John" online, I nearly pissed myself laughing
You won't have to worry about being slower than everyone else Shen
*My computer died when I got to Siofra River, and I haven't been able to play this game for multiple months. It hurts*
Man, when you realized Boc had moved to the Coastal Cave and panicked, that was so zogging relatable.
Yeeeees. I'd been waiting for when these would start going up. This will truly be a Golden time.
Always a good day when you post.

*In this game, you play as John Ring*
Only thing that came to mind when I heard this.
So, there's no point in trying to help Shen at this point since she's about 150 hours further into the game from these streams, but for anyone else who doesn't know- LEVEL YOUR FREAKING VIGOR. You HAVE to in this game. This isn't bloodborne where you can get away with 12-15. Endgame, you should be shooting for a minimum of 40-60 vigor. Level up that bad boy or you're gonna get one-shot by everything. There are bosses that will OHKO you at 40 vigor if you're not careful further into the game.
60 Vig + Full Veterans Set and I still felt like I was one bad move away from getting my shit kicked in. Boss damage in this game is fucking insane and I hate it.
Feels less like dark souls damage and more like monster hunter damage. I don't mind it so much, especially having sunk over 2k hours into MH over the years, but having to automatically tick off 35 points or so from my builds to get my hp into survivable territory is pretty annoying.
@@funnyvalentinedidnothingwrong I'm glad I'm not the only one. Every time I've mentioned it to others people just shrug,as if getting one-shot unless half your levels are in HP is just "perfectly normal design"
Sounds like someone doesn't have enough skill/damage? -This post was brought to you by the 9 Vigor Gang.
@@squigglymcgoo Imagine relying on rolling and magic like some kinda fuckin' nerd lmao
Going through a depressive phase and listening to Shenpai have this much fun is just contagious. Thank you!
I’m very surprised that Voxer wasn’t the character she made here 🤔 I’d love to see her make him in the game, even if she didn’t actually play him!
There’s such a polarized view of Voxer in character creators. It’s either “She made Voxer again?” or “She didn’t make Voxer again?” Lol
It's Shen traditions to not create Voxer in Souls games (surprisingly enough she doesn't create John in Bloodborne ), that honored is only for John Souls
@@multiplefandom4199 In my second playthrough of Bloodborne I did make John Bloodborne!!! I deafeated Ludwig in 45 seconds on it because I used the pizzar cutter, the beast buff and lightning buff and it justr.,,, melted him
@AeroViro played the game front to back, like, 10 times and for some reason NEVER thought to use beast blood pellets with the Whirligig Saw
It makes way too much sense
Every elden ring video episode 1 I watch is a death montage against the tree sentinel for a big portion of the video.
There will be a i give up, i will come back. a vow not to fight it again and then a going back and fighting it anyway then eventually defeating it.
Thankfully your video was longer that 20 minutes so got to see more than just the first church
Ayy, Elden Ring. Many Tarnished are grateful
Watching her fighting the Tree Sentinel reminded me that there is a word that defines when you keep repeating the same thing over and over agian expecting a different result, but I can't remember what that word is...
Yeah, dont want to fight Varre. Might accidentally aggro him into a perpetual death cycle and hate shit on the game. Couldnt imagine anyone doing that...
I tried it for lulz. He's surprisingly vulnerable to the unga bunga L1 mash
Finally an entertaining personality that plays this game the way she fucking wants to. No OP weapons and winning trading hits with bosses. No prior checking of the meta or other guides. Actually feels like she is beating the challenges rather than finding a way to cheese them. 10/10 new subscriber.
I hate this game, I have six characters and six builds and one me and I can’t stop playing please send help. I’ve been trapped in Eldengaol for months. I love this game!
The horrors of good game design, the players can never escape
Shen you're enthusiasm, wonder, and excitement over everything in these games is so refreshing and it makes me smile! Please keep playing and enjoying these games if you can/want to, and ignore all those salty backseaters and haters!
Oh look! It's Elden Ring Shen! The main character of Elden Ring!
Your content genuinely warms my heart
She could have called him elden John....Anywho, love your stuff shen!
I actually did name mine elden John
Dammit you beat me to it
Named mine John Elden :D
For anyone wanting the Turtle shield. You can simply use the wind thats down the cliff to get up there
Shen when she see's Malenia: *WIFE WIFE WIFE WIFE!*
Me: So uh... Who wants to tell her? Cuz I'm not
You mean that she’s a absolute sadist and feels unfair beyond belief??
@@natezrodlowski9986 pro tip.
Freeze pota
Another one falls to the call of the rotussy.
Because if I had to read it, you have to read that too.
@@paulwin9036 I’d rather not go off of other peoples builds I make my own to varying ways of success
@@natezrodlowski9986 I mean freeze pots cancel waterfowl dance
the slide whistle gets me every time. literally the perfect sound effect
Imagine not spending 4 hours at the very start to kill tree sentinel
Fr, cowardly behavior
This person sounds and acts like Della Duck from the Ducktales reboot....subbed
The elden ring opening is so good the voice acting is so fucking good and it empowers you so much to be ready to slaughter some big boys and husbands and wives
I know this video is like 2 years old now, but for those who either don't know or met Blaidd afterwards the bloodhound knight is infinitely easier with Blaidd! I'm nowhere near Shen's level of skill at this game and was able to beat him first try by summoning Blaidd! Either that or I just got super lucky 😅
