FAQ's:
Will there be a written guide?
In the original version of this video, I mentioned making written guides for some of my build guides. I said this with the best of intentions, but this was just before my channel got a lot bigger, and the time I spent making and editing videos increased massively. It was also before the addition of maps to my videos, making them much easier to follow. If there is still a desire for written guides, let me know. It may be something I could look at incorporating into a Patreon page, which I plan on creating soon.
Will this break any questlines?
Lighting a grace in Altus Plateau will trigger the Radahn Festival. This will block you from getting both the Red Hot Whetblade and the Ruins Greatsword until Radahn is defeated. You can grab the Whetblade before following this guide, or for an early Ruins run, just go up to Altus without lighting a grace. It's not as scary as it sounds.
The thumbnail says 150k runes. The old video was 150k runes. Why only 140K?
I warped out from Greyoll before all the runes had appeared. Only noticed this when I started another run and had 150K. You'll get 150k.
Is this for beginners?
It's not intended to be. You'll have the most memorable experience of Elden Ring just playing it blind, only looking up specific guides if you get stuck on something. I make videos for people who have already experienced the game, and want to go back and bully it in a few hours instead of 200.
However, almost every single one of my comment sections (the last iteration of this guide especially so) are filled with people who used my vids for their first playthrough and had a blast - and who am I to argue!
Will it actually take 1 hour?
Until you've done it a few times, it'll probably take a little longer. This set up was done in about 54/55 minutes (the last few getting set up to record the intro) and that's with no deaths and everything going pretty well. Like I said in the Selia section, you can easily add a lot of time there.
Any way to make it even faster?
Slightly. The very last smithing stones (6 smithing 3's) I pick up could be skipped and bought instead, but grabbing them and continuing north onto the next gazebo is a great way of unlocking Iji for faster upgrading later. A cheeky little timesave I used to use when doing this reguarly was NOT lighting the Grace in the sealed tunnel. Doing this will mean you spawning at the Grace on the stairs after dying and skip the short run out. Hardly worth it unless you're super comfortable with the route, though.
I hate the Selia Crystal Tunnel. Any other options?
The Old Altus Tunnel has identical loot to Selia for this guide (Somber 4, 8 Smithing 5's). I did test this as an alternative route but the Altus Tunnel is even more crowded that Selia, quite a bit slower, and just as hard hitting. What you gain in the lack of Pest Threads, you lose in spell-spamming miners, but it's not a bad shout if you're particularly adverse to the former.
Will doing this make Gideon a better boss?
No.
I also only got 140k runes and I didn't warp, so maybe its a bug that sometimes happens
Hey do you recommend following Cowboy’s guid?
the normal stone route only gets you to a +13 not a +16
Should have read the comments 😂 beginner here getting destroyed in the sillia cave. Fml! I’ll start playing it normal now 👍
I'd say maybe release transcripts of your videos? That's not EXACTLY the same but is a good middle ground for relatively little effort?
Lovely to see a remake to the original starting guide, I have basically memorised that whole video by now.
It was quite nice to revisit it. Thanks for watching, Kris!
@@sriousprobs477Yeah I realised lmao, but the addition of the map helps a lot of people that haven't used this route
I memorised it as well 😂
Lost count of how many characters I've made
@@ThingfishyGaming Maybe give us a map so we can just see where all the goodies are and a path you take to get thru? That would be nice. I'm trying to do this for your OP Faith Samurai build and for that you go off script and my ADHD (diagnosed) brain can't follow along between 2 videos, jumbled together after having gotten partway thru your guide and having given up after 3-4 months, finally decided to come back to where I left off.
Turns out, I gave up and decided to do my own thing. I'd have to start over again and the damn Knight's Calvary won't commit sudoku for me off the bridge, just like last time. FML!
Edit: Typos.
@xantishayde-walker4593 I thought they patched it but it still works !
A few notes:
3:32 After crossing the bridge, you can head over the terrain to your right to grab the Faith physic if it's applicable to your build.
4:20 After grabbing the Somber 2, just run into the sea. It's faster than quitting out and will put you at the grace.
5:27 Exhaust Rodericka dialogue here. At some point once she's moved to the Roundtable, you can come back for her Golden Seed.
6:14 Might as well help Alex while you're in the area, you'll get some more Exalted Flesh and a gesture (the gesture is available later in the game if you miss it here, but still).
7:20 Instead of going straight to Fort Haight, aim for the minor erdtree. There are a couple crystal tears at its base and it's not out of your way.
9:17 Use the spiritspring to jump on top of the giant skull in front of you here. There are several smithing stones and a stonesword key on top of it.
9:40 Just loot everything here. One of the items is a Rune Arc.
11:58 Note: if you grab the extra grace, the puppets will kill you. Still, probably worth it to save time if you die while running naked through the academy.
12.59 Behind the Abductor Virgin is the Longtail Cat Talisman. Grab it before getting abducted. It's very helpful for the big jump into lava at 13:20 which I've personally never managed to do without fall damage otherwise.
17:40 At this point, you can head to the Altus Highway Junction grace and then north from there to grab an extra seed, as well as the Sacred Tear at the 2nd Church of Marika. You can also go west to the Erdtree Gazing Hill grace for the nearby seed, but that's pretty out of the way for one seed.
17:56 I recommend continuing north here to the Outer Wall Battleground grace (swinging wide to avoid Margit). It's a good warp point to have for eventually grabbing several nearby crystal tears (Winged and Twiggy mainly), a couple Golden Seeds outside the walls, and the Sacred Tear in the Stormcaller Church.
18:35 Loot the corpses on the roots as you cross, one of them has an extra Golden Fowl Foot.
Remember to go back to Stormhill shack for Rodericka's Golden Seed after the fact.
There are a few more generally useful items in northern Liurnia that are out of the way for this guide but might be worth snagging after the setup is done: the Intelligence physic, Golden Seed in the ravine, and Jellyfish Shield.
If you want the Sacred Tear from the Church of Inhibition, be aware that there's a spiritspring just north of the Frenzy Flaming Tower that allows you to approach reach it pretty easily, making the area much safer. You'll still get slaughtered by Vyke, but not before grabbing the tear.
Obviously, this will take longer, but none of it is difficult and all of it is worth it.
An absolute legend! Thanks!
This comment should be pinned, lots of good stuff
dude, why do you guys cheat like that... See, iam so strong, but i need to cheat :P this isnt the best start, it just full of cheaters, its like playing on easy mode what you guys a doing, and then you bragging about how good you are...
@@donkarnage6986 You're making assumptions. I've put over 200 hours into this game. I have 2 different characters in NG+. Some of us aren't looking to re-explore the early game all over again.
Some of us just want to quickly start a brand new build for fun. If you don't like it, play the way YOU want to play and don't worry about what other people are doing.
Make your own guide?
Exhaust Rodricka dialogue at Stormhill Shack and after she moves to the Roundtable Hold, come back and pick up a golden seed where she was sitting.
I've tested this a couple times, and resting in Liurnia gets her to move
Bullshit?
@@causticwit2286 nah after she moves a golden seed is literally just there
@causticwit2286 how?
@@He-who-wakes after u talk to roderika and exhaust her dialogue she moves to roundtable and if u refresh the area after roderika has moved in the exact spot she sat in in the shack therell just be a golden seed
Nice to see an update. The old guide is still rock solid. I've used it for at least 8 characters over the last few months. Thanks for the guides!
Man, I so much appreciate all the work you put into these videos. Not just the information, but the editing, the music, the narration, everything is really, really well done overall. Thanks again, and can't wait for your next videos!
LOVE seeing you optimize this guide, it is so freaking good !
I have expanded on this run quite considerably, I go through Volcano manor via the girl Rya? who I do the quest and meet at the top of the Dectus lift, because you can actually run past every thing to the Somber 6 and 5 from there. There is also a few awesome talismans you can pick up on the way, during this set up run, like the Arsenal +2, the Icon shield, not to mention ashes of war. Thingfishy you taught me that everything you can run past, you just need to time it right. You have totally changed Elden Ring for me. I can never thank you enough. Never Stop making your videos, they are absolutely essential to living the Elden Ring Dream for us older players with less skills. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are the BEST!
I add the dungeon with the golden scarab talisman before killing the free rune guys, any straight sword can do it without any upgrades, just need Square Off heavy attack, it breaks their poise in 2 attacks. And if your build can kill tree bosses easily, you can go straight to the one near Greyoll for almost 80k runes (without taking foot or scarab into calculation) after killing Greyoll, this one will one shot you tho, but if you're good you can kill it while you still have the chicken foot buff.
Just got back in to ER after not having much time to play it since launch. Your channel has been a great help since coming back.
You help me so much thank you! I’m new to souls games. I have rewatched all of your videos multiple times. Amazed at how easy u make all fights look.
Been loving these guides, super helpful as some of us return to make new characters for the DLC - Look forward to more!
Glad you're enjoying them, Chalked! Cannot wait for the DLC. Thanks for watching!
Perfect cosy guide to follow if you're new and afraid of getting killed over & over in the first areas. You will get OP fast following dear old Thingfishy's advice.
Glad you've remade this mate. Sometimes I like to see how far I can get without fighting or even getting hit, grabbing runes off graves, etc., and this is a nice framework video to try it out.
You don't have to quit out when you get the flail though. Just run to the whetblade basement. They don't follow you downstairs, and they de-aggro when you open the chest.
This is clutch, I was really hoping for this revision. Ty good sir!
I have memorized this escorted route you’ve created. I had to watch the new one. Love the editing and epic music. 😮🎶
im so glad that you made this video, with the new steam family share ive been able to try elden ring and its a blast. been watching all you vids for hte help so thank you
Saved the video for future ER runs. Thanks for updating your guide. Looking forward to see what you bring us after the DLC drops.
Just started Elden ring recently even though I got the game 2 years ago. And your guide has been a tremendous help for a souls noob like me. I haven’t touch souls game since blood borne and fail to complete any souls game from demon soul for lack of skills. Even if I can’t get good, I still love the universe Miyazaki and his team has crafted. And with all your build guides I believe there comes a chance for me to complete my first souls game. Thanks for your effort. It made the game more fun as well. Hope to see more.
PS: I hope if there is a build cater for people like me as well haha.
He's done it again!
For me, I don't use this guide, but it was used as a blueprint for the route i used which accomplishes the same as this but gives a couple extra things.
I keep watching and playing along with this excellently made video. It's entertaining and easy to follow, and the cheeky humor just gets me laughing every time. Darn dogs, I hate them lol.
I've made two builds from it so far, because holy crap it only takes about an hour. If I'm honest, I really don't know which build (parry, which I'm not very good at yet, or my personal favorite, bonk) I want to play when Shadow of the Erdtree drops. So I'll have to play along again, and make one where I don't spend any of the runes I get along the way. It's so tempting to just have a go at bosses, I keep getting carried away! Thanks so much Thingfishy for this excellent (updated) guide, you're amazing!
This video and the high value of it is what got me to finally become a member of your channel. Keep up the good work 🙂
Love to see another starting guide! I've used your older one for every playthrough since it came out, and your other guides for inspiration. I have one small critique though... Around 19:58, you head North West to the poison gazebo, but say North East. "I thought you said Weast" crossed my mind lol. Regardless, awesome job, and I can't wait to see what you cook up for the DLC!
Im on my 6th new character and I’ve used your original video for all of them. I have most of it memorized by now. I’m definitely going to have to start a 7th now just to try out this one. Thanks for all the videos and hard work!
Sir, you the top guvnor for doing this.
I recently reinstalled ER and was completely lost somewhere in an NG+, but I'm going to follow this guide now. Ty!
Seriously, you have some of the clearest and most concise route guides I've ever seen.
Subbed on my main, my alt account AND this one 😉
I saw the original video like 30 times, very original guide, I'm glad to see this updated versión, thank you bro
When you take the Spirit Spring next to Fort Faroth, don't forget to jump up on the Giant Skull, and grab the Smithing Stone 8, 7 (x2), and Stonesword Key.
What giant skull? Before or after you you use spirit spring…
@@brandoncarter2708 The one South-West of the fort, you can use it to get from FF to the Church of the Plague.
I used the previous version of this guide for my rl1 run so i am happy to see an even better one for new players
I'm coming back to the game and can't quite get used to my old build so I wanted to start fresh - this video is PERFECT for me, thank you
Same. I took a 4 month break and tried to come back onto a ng+7 and was getting wrecked.
Right on time for my second playthrough! Thanks for the effort fishy!
No problem, Wei! Thanks for watching!
I purchased Elden Ring on 27/02 so literally last month. you were THE first channel I found and only made me love the game more. I struggled a lot in the beginning but because of your speed build I finally managed to finish a run in under 5 hours (My first ever playthrough was just under 50 hours) I attribute that to your brilliant videos
That's awesome to hear, Hanon! So glad you're enjoying the game and pleased the vids have helped. Thanks for watching!
Were you watching guides when you played? i played blind first run and it took me about 150 hours!!! 50 hours on a first run is insane!
@@Astrophobia88 Other than looking up cool builds to try, I did it blind
@@Hanon02damn 50 hours is crazy lol. Did you explore at all?
@@pineapplesauce4823 I explored quite a bit. Not as much as I probably should have tho
Great guide again! I used your first guide for basically all of my my characters except the first one :) I have a suggestion tho, if you go to the Bridge of Sacrifice Site of Grace before going to the Churche of Pilgrimage, you can grab the faith tear on the way without losing much time. I find that to be one of the most useful tears for any build because of the Golden Vow and Howl of Shabriri buffs.
I just recently bought Elden Ring for PS5 and this guide was excellent and easy to follow.
Love that we get an update. The original guide really helped me level up my other builds very quickly.
Really nice vid!
Somethings I usually add for ease/more upgrades might be accessible to slightly experienced players.
Everyone knows about the Somber 7 behind Godskin Noble, so i will focus on the smithing stones.
1. 5 smithing stone 6's each from the Full Grown Fallingstar beast and the Fallingstar beast in Altus (this with the 2 from the breakable statue infront of Auriza Heroes grave give u a +18)
2. 5 Smithing 7s from the Fallingstar beast in Sellia Crystal Tunnel.
3. 2 Smithing 7s from top of the skull near the spirit spring between Fort Faroth and Church of the Plague.
These can get ur weapons to +20 before any Rememberence bosses.
I believe the Fallingstar Beasts in Altus and Gelmir can be cheesed using Poison Mist.
For DLC prep, after defeating Radahn, we can find 2 somber 7s and 1 sombr 8 and 1 somber 9, by doing Ranni Questline till Nokstella.
Then completing the Ranni Questline nets u 6 smithing 7s and 6 smithing 8s in the Moonlight Altar.
This can push 1 smithing weapon to +22 before the Capital and Mogh.
Thus u can fight Mogh and enter the DLC with a +22 smithing or a +10 somber.
PS: anybody looking for a Somber 4 can find 1 lying in the Swanp of Aeonia. Just travel north from Southern Aeonia Swamp site of grace, and it will be lying in the swap close to another glowing pickup of Aeonian Butterflies.
Hope this helps, and great video dude!
Returning to the game as well, thanks for this walkthrough, I appreciate you!
100%ed game at launch and decided to come back and start a new play through for the dlc but was worried cause I didn’t want to reexplore the whole map and get re set up this video helped tremendously and was surprisingly very fun to follow along best guide I’ve ever watched.
Me too i lost my main character which i finished the game in 6 times and i wanted to play the dlc but i didn’t have the energy to go through everything for the 7nth time this guide is great.
I was about to watch your old guide - I thought I was until the merchant at liurna of the lakes when I thought “wait buying? I don’t remember this” awesome guide, much easier to follow for new comers I dare to say. Thanks for all your videos
Great guide sir, if I could add a couple things. In Caelid when you take the spirit spring to the church of the plague use it to jump to the top of the skull for smithing stones 7 and 8.
Also in the volcano manor section instead of taking the trip down to the site of grace you can climb the ladder across from the somber stone roof top and jump around the corner of the building to get the guest hall site of grace.
Hey, just wanted to thank you for your great content. I started recently with Elden Ring as my first souls game & I felt completely lost… but I love it got an understanding of the game & the lore behind it.
Just wanted to thank you & asking if you are going to stream on twitch soon? You could connect it with RUclips (2. channel??)
Much love
Thanks for this! This was really easy to follow and is going to help make playing Elden Ring a lot more fun for me
I found your channel recently. Already subscribed. Great content! You have art for this 🎨
Great guide! At Callu I ride straight west and come down the cliff to the bridge instead of quitting out. Looking forward to the DLC guides!
13:59 I have never seen anyone pointing out there is a grace upstairs. The door is blocked at first, but you can head to the balcony and jump to another on the left, in which you will find a snake and a gate to the grace. This grace will be very useful if you want to fight the Godskin Noble, who will grant you access to the somber +7. Basically follow the path to Rykard’s portal, but in the hall with the snakes, take the stairs to the left towards the stonekey thing. After the parkour, go to the room with the dungeater item, and head left to find an iron maiden guarding the somber +7. This route allows you to have a +9 special weapon having killed a single boss 😎
thanks for the refresher, i finished the game 2 years ago(time flies) and have no clue where what is!
Awesome video dude! Well done
Nice, this makes a lot of the annoying parts a lot easier with proper timed quit outs
I've used this guide with slight modifications for two new characters so far and I'm back here for another. Cheers.
I appreciate that you updated your video to show how to grace out of volcano manner. As such, I will go ahead and amend my prior comment on older video regarding my dissapointment here
I m impressed. Totally blown away. What. A. Video. ❤️
A nice and peaceful start to an otherwise stressful and punishing game.
Good work!
There is a somber 4 not too far just north west up the lake in liurnia from the somber 3 featured around 17 min mark. Just fwiw. Prob takes an extra 90 seconds to grab.
Edit: also, thank you for all these videos and guides. Excellent resources and very entertaining.
Thanks bro, I can't say i enjoyed doing this, but I'm sure as hell gonna enjoy the results :)
Can't wait to see your guides on Shadow of the Erdtree.
excellent guide mate. Tip: When you drop down to the spiritspring next to Fort Faroth, it is worth jumping straight back up to the huge rock on your right. You will find a stonesword key and some sober stones.
Very tough to follow since you show a map but not where you are on the map. "Stop here for Golden Vow" where!??!?! "Jump down here" WHERE!?!?
Totally agree.
You can see where he is on the map with that white circle. Kinda hard to see but it's there
You gotta look around, cuz it’s apart of playing the game. He’s not tryna walk you through it.
@@creatorF0UR73EN are you daft? He is quite literally walking us through his routes for upgrade materials and such. Silly guy
Maybe for you and 22 others. 75,000 other people disagree.
Amazing guide! thankyou
Cannot thank you enough for this amazing guide 👏
Solid guide. Thanks man
Could you post the unedited full video?
Another great video fishy! Hope to see a lies of p video again in the future :D
Dude you are and will always be the GOAT. 😭💜
Very well done mate thank you
I always pick up the beast repellant torch from the merchant in caelid west of the divine tower. it makes volcano manor, ft faroth, dragon burnt ruins, and the running section in mt gelmir where you get golden vow much easier.
there's a guy on a chair with a somber 4 near the beginning of the ravine that leads to ruin strewn precipice. if you're facing the grace just before the ravine, turn left and keep near the cliff
if you have a hard time with the night's cav cheese, you can also cheese him by luring him to the cliff to the left of the poison path and crouching on the tiny lip of ledge. he'll jump off pretty consistently.
there's a somber five in caelid near selia tunnel. when you exit the tunnel, make a right and hug the cliff. there's an enormous crimson scarab right in front of the path that leads to it. it's nestled into some glintstone crystals
there's a somber six on a guy on a chair in mt gelmir. If you're going to pick up incant golden vow, you can use the beast torch to keep the dogs from attacking, grab the incant, then cheese anastasia by crouching on a lip of the ledge near the shack. then, get on torrent and go up the big rock just before the battlefield and the abductors. quit out to lose aggro, then watch the abductors path until they're well away from the ladder going up the cliff that's below you. climb the ladder, light the grace, then turn left to see some runes on some coffins, and on the ledge beyond them, a wolf guarding the somber six.
You can now either avoid the volcano manor running section entirely, or level 2 somber weapons to +6. I chose the latter in my death's poker playthrough. I rushed lusat's staff in raya lucaria early, along with the radagon icon. I've also done this with the erdtree seal on my blasphemous blade playthrough. It adds a ridiculous amount of QOL
Thanks! Hope to see build for SOTE.
Well geez, gonna have to tell work I gotta take the week off. Thanks fishthingy.
The old guide was a mainstay. I do like the improvements. It generally takes me a fair bit longer because the moment I get any runes I seem to be invested in not losing them and that adds so much time in fighting and sneaking. Oh well one day I may smarten up.
For Greyoll, if it hasn't been patched since I last played: If you're fast enough, you can start Dreyoll's death animation, hop onto Torrent, run straight to the grace and sit on it. By doing so, you get the runes for killing Greyoll, but she respawns. You do get less than the 150k runes, as the other dragons are not killed, but you can do this as often as you're fast enough.
this works still i did it like 2 days ago
works untill the dlc. im assuming theyll patch it
i fucked it up on my first try and didn't even pop the pickled foul foot :(
@@callanlandis4300nope it still works.
@@nuzzeldethat’s why you use the foot before you kill them. Definitely not like everyone says to do it before not wait till after
At 9:18 you could jump back up on the spring and get some smithing stone 7 and 8 on top of the grey rock. There's also a somber stone 4 right behind you after climbing the ladder after the big cave dude at around 16:02.
Another note I use for setup: by killing agheel and greyoll for agheels flame, wrong warps can be used into lleyndeyl and then morgott skip with agheels flame to reach any content in the game before godskin duo in only one boss
the instructions are much better in this version thank you! just fyi, for someone completely new to the game, there are still some places that take some trial and error to figure out where to go, but in the end that's ok. i'd request the guide to include Smithing Bell 1 pls. after following this, i actually don't have enough Smithing Stone 2s to get past +6
Damn dude let's goo this is awesome.
I dont know what it is but, your voice is so smooth and relaxing....
oh and i love yor content all these guides have been really helpful, thanks keep it up ❤
Thanks, Aaron. Glad you like it. Thanks for watching and pleased the guides have helped!
Yay.... Just in time.... I'm about to start my int/faith build after I get my main to ng7.... I added on top of the big white coral looking thing in calid to my run there's a few stones up on top
awesome video. One thing that I think could helped is a more zoomed in map of the locations, so its a bit easier to read
Great idea to update. 2.0 here we go!
Oh, a new one. Nice. Love your videos. Maybe you did one, and I missed it, but a bow build would be cool. I'm thinking of trying that out.
Glad you like the vids, Shane. A bow build has been on the list for a while, but I keep putting it off 😂. Will see what I can do before DLC. Thanks for watching!
Black bow is a longbow with shortbow move set (jump attack and when landing quickly) barrage WA use for poison bleed frost etc, pulley crossbow fires three but is too slow for my liking. Pulley bow has the longest range of a longbow and uses might shot WA and thats what i use for bow builds you can light roll and just avoid anything you want really but for enemies that innately dodge you need the black bows shortbow moveset with longbow damage because you need to get the second one off when you land after they dodge the mid air arrow or vice versa.
Great Jar Cannon is fun for some nukes / mobbing from afar. Radahns rain unlimited supply of great gravity arrows( RTH ) couple vendors around the game house all the different arrows or bolts you’ll need. But thats just the issue w bow builds runes for arrows. ( i use mogwhyns palace To practice archery obviously )
Golem Greatbow don’t forget that beast if you want raw damage
9:17 hey Thing, great video! I just wanted to give u a little tip, if I remember correctly u can jump up this spirit spring and on top of the skully stone thing there are some normal smithing stones 7/8. could be something else but there are definitely smithing stones up there. Maybe u wanna check that out. Thanks for the video!
K update:it’s stone sword key, 2x smithing 7‘s and an 8
Late to the party but damn am I looking forward to this one
Hope you enjoy it, Beardy! Thanks for watching!
I used your last start video and the samurai build to beat the game yesterday. Thank you!! I seen a lot of complaints about the first video. I felt like it was still a little challenging with your explanation so the fun for me was still there. Thank you again
I definitely appreciate your videos they are always informative. Have one question for ya though. We ever gonna see a gaurd counter build? I like the game play and have been looking for a good one for tips and tricks but it seems not a lot of people like the Gaurd counter play style.
Glad you enjoy them, Wesley. A guard counter build has been on the list for ages. It's one that I consistently shy away from though, as, because shield and heavy armour is the opposite of my preferred playstyle, I know next to nothing about it and don't want to get it wrong. Will see what I can do before DLC. Thanks for watching!
New version when i used the old version yesterday absolute poggers
You're old video is my rutine for every run i do. I think i done it this way over 10 times.
I would like to mention that, since we go to Altus Plateau anyway, you can pick up an 8th Sacred Tear at the Second Church of Marika, which is an easy drop down near where you pick up the map. I love the content Thingfishy, keep it up!
Little caveat to this for those who can do it:
1. Grab a seal and catch flame, level up your blue flasks and allocate 5 of them.
2. Grab the Gold Pickled Fowl Feet from the spirit spring behind the first step, past the first bridge in limgrave, and in the Sealed tunnel on the branch.
3. Use them when you cheese the night's cavalry and the dragon in Caelid.
4. Fight the putrid avatar near Fort Faroth using Catch Flame and your 5 blue flasks.
The avatar will one-shot you, but it's not too hard with catch flame. Should net you about 270,000 runes.
Thanks again Fishy for the amazing setup guide, use it on basically all my builds!
Not sure if this was said already but there’s a somber 2 behind the sorcerer with the book when you walk into Raya Lucaria and another golden seed off a path to the left when you exit the lift of dectus, hope this helps.
Would highly suggest using the morningstar with wild strikes vice using the physick for flail, as its two-handable for every starting class’s base stats and the AoW can be picked up along the route.
Also, its worth noting that you can cheese FLYING Dragon Greyll (80k) and the Caelid Bell Bearing Hunter (50k) without actually fighting them as well, brings your grand total up to 240k (without gold feet) to start the game with
I was about to comment this as well, wild strikes on the Morningstar uses considerably less FP and stamina and has lower stat requirements.
If you’re planning on farming Greyoll more than once, better to get a torch and Deaths Poker +6 as it takes around a minute to kill with frostbite vs 2-3 with bleed.
So for some reason whenever I get the Knight to jump the bridge he doesn’t die, he just respawns back on the bridge and I have no clue why.
Also, it’s worth noting that if you run to the nearby site of Grace after killing Elder Dragon Greyoll, as long as you rest before she finishes her death animation she won’t disappear but you’ll still get the runes, making her a solid (albeit time consuming) early game rune-farm.
No matter how many times I’ve tried over the years I’ve been able to cheese the knights cavalry a total of 0 times
I did it just for him to respawn on the bridge D:
I tried 20 times and couldn't cheese him, so I tried to fight him and he jumped over me and off the bridge. Go figure!
Great video wow!
Loved the original video, amazing to see a remake 👍👍
Glad you like it, Garden. Thanks for watching!
16:21 there's also a second somber 4 in that final room of Selia's Crystal Tunnel just turn to the left instead to the right where all the Kindred of Rot's are and you will find it
Hey Thingfishy, love your videos man! I was wondering if you can maybe do OP Builds for NG+7 and onwards because I find Maliketh and Radagon tougher because of the boosted health and damage negation enemies get.
Not sure if someone else already commented it. But if you kill the dragon on horseback and rush back to the grace. You still get runes, however she doesn’t die. This way you can farm it repeatedly
really good guide, the only things id add is a better view of the map where things are, it was hard to see at 2-3 spots, apart from that used it for another run ;)
I think somber 4 can be picked up from a corpse sitting on a chair on the way towards Ruin-Strewn Precipice. It's close to the somber 3 that is shown in the video. A bit NW from it. Might be faster than going to selia tunnel or reaching Iji.
Great guide, for returning players I think it’s perfect. For a new player probably not very ez. Cheers
Nice. Just bought the game for PC after having finished it a few times on PS5. Gonna try that one later.
The amount of regular smithing stones required is nuts and there never seems to be enough. I've got sombre stones for man and dog but can never get enough regulars!
Looking forward to the next video
What I do in volcano manor is climb up the ladder seen at 13:58 (ie the normal way you'd enter without being abducted), jump round the right, and then you can enter and light the grace and open the door
Felt weird not watching a fishy video at the weekend man!
Haha, it was weird waking up on Satruday with nothing to put out. I was hoping to have the Archthrones one out at the weekend, but after they announced a patch was coming, I wanted to play it again on new patch before doing a vid, so decided to switch to this. Thanks for watching, as always, Saf!
