Update on Discovery 5 regarding rune acquisition - Silver Skulls and Golden Eyes are definitely there during the day as well. That said, they're FAR more difficult to see during the day, so there is still a slight night advantage there
Smooch?
Guess I'll only look for them at night to make it easy on me, thanks you so much broski.
Thanks as always, Vaati
Can you please tell me where I can find the twinblade I've been looking for it all day 😅
@@saadalfizazi277 Dragon-burnt ruins
Oh man, I love these periods in life:
Playing a new Fromsoft game, and watching Vaati videos as everyone is stil discovering everything, it's a tradition at this point.
A tradition I find wholly needful
Yes, & I also feel like this cycle is the best one so far. Elden Ring is so damn good dude.
These are the good times, my friends.
Ur ass is a tradition at this point.
It’s one of my favorites I’ve been doing it since dark souls 2
Extra little tip: When you kill and enemy, the rune trail leading to your character can be yellow or white, if white then that means the enemy dropped an item. Great knowledge for hit and run attacks/ tactics
Great tip, thanks!
It's not the rune trail itself but the enemy shows a white burst in five directions upon death. Great tip anyways. Example at 4:33
I quickly noticed that, and it helps so much with knowing when to just run off or when to stay a second to loot.
Yeah I noticed that too. It's pretty useful
Also, if it's red it'll refill the flask charge.
I think the Limgrave Tunnels should be added to this list. It's not an essential location but its filled to the brim with level 1 smithing stones and those are pretty hard to find early on and they are good to have in case you upgrade a weapon you aren't going to stick with
i was stuck with a +2 weapon for ages till i eventually went back and found this, after a lap i got 10 stones, my weapon was +14 right afterwards from all the stones i had gathered.
Your weapon went to +14 off those ? No lol. You need smithing stones 4+ for that
@@adamsimpson2720 and he obviously meant that he had many of the later stones, just not [1]
@@N-olla yea that exactly:)
Care to explain this spot
I’ve seen so many people go about Limgrave in so many different ways, I already discovered the underground city and haven’t yet set foot in Stormveil
Same, lmao
The underground city was something I was not prepared for lol and I couldn't figure out how to leave for like 3 hours ! 😅
@@filthyneutral5801 you know you can fast travel in and out at any time?
@@axel9473 thats quiter talk
holy shit, what underground city?
This will be my first souls game to play at launch and I’m so excited to see all this games mysteries being discovered in real time
same! my hype is immeasuravle
There's nothing quite like a souls game at launch. Summons and invasions at max capacity. While other souls games other covenants become less active if active at all
My first souls game too and this shit is stressful it's gonna take some getting use to
bro i actually havnt thought about that, its weird thinking there wont be all these videos i would normally have since it just released
same
I seriously can’t wait for all the content that you will have with Elden Ring.
NO, NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME! why should i waste my time at school? i am super famous on youtube. tell me, dear kawi
Yep, there goes my spring semester lol
It will be a long journey.
Prepare to cry
Same here mate
Note: You don't need to fight a boss to unlock armor alterations. There's a thread and needle set in a chest within the Church of Vows near "Turtle Pope".
haha turtle pope
Finally, a RUclipsr who is clearly showing locations of the items he's talking about on maps. It's crazy to me that so many people miss the obvious fact that it's good to show exactly where things are.
Same with wiki guides, even if they have a map it tends to be vague or so filled with other things I can't even tell what landmass it is under all the markers.
Roderika also leaves a flask enhancement item (golden seed I believe) at the shack when she leaves for roundtable hold so be sure to grab that.
Believe it is actually an eyeball. Not sure of its use yet
Edit: Turns out was wrong and the eyeball comes from elsewhere.
@@Taran858 Its a seed
She will give it to you directly if you bring her the Chrysalid item you find in Stormveil Castle; in fact, that will cause her to move to the Hold immediately.
@@AintGotsNoName ah, but if you just kill the boss without giving her the chrysalid item she leaves a eyeball behind. That explains the difference.
@@AintGotsNoName Was just about to comment this
Damn this is all so overwhelming lol. I’m trying to not get into the habit of googling things, following guides with this game. So I’m taking a brief mental note, but I’ll probably forget and that’s probably a good thing. Gonna explore everything myself. Maybe in subsequent playthroughs I’ll target the good stuff
Maybe you'd do well to remember what your Seeking. Goodluck
Don’t forget you can place your own markers on the map. So if you see something while on your way to another site just remember to put a place marker on your map so you can come back to it later
Just go blind and enjoy your personal experience with the game
I'm trying to do the same thing lol. Want at least one blind playthrough while everyone is still at the same stage to avoid any story spoilers.
I’m doing the exact same as you lol
I actually love how they hide important, almost essential items for you to discover.
Not only does it put a big emphasis on actually exploring the world, but it gives you actual useful rewards for doing so, things that affect how you play the game, and it’s something I’ve always felt every other open world game has struggled with (for as much as I love it, this was my biggest pet pieve with BotW).
i mean BoTW certainly did have this to some extent. for example you could go the entire game without ever touching the master sword or the shield.
While i do like games that encourage exploration it can also be seen as a very big downside. if you accidentally pass over something that is easy to miss you could very well be dooming yourself to having huge disadvantages later.
comes down to whether you see this as "rewarding" your players or "punishing" your players
again don't mistake my words as a harsh critique of the game. if anything I love it when artists of all kinds don't treat their audiences like idiots but instead free thinkers who might be able to see the artist's vision without being spoon-fed
@@zacharyjackson1829 With BotW, I felt that while the exploration and traversal itself felt very good, it never felt very rewarding. Don’t get me wrong, the sights in and of itself is a reward for sure, but I wanted the exploration to always be rewarded with unique gameplay, which it rarely was.
That could’ve been unique enemies (both regular and bosses) hidden away in certain parts of the world, and with unique weapons and items as reward that changes how you play the game. Yeah, there were some unique weapons/gear here and there, but they never really played significantly different than the regular weapons in the game. And I would’ve wanted secret, hidden away items (be it locked behind puzzles or bosses) that changed how you traversed and interacted with the world. Like, say for example some spiked boots that allowed you to climb up horizontal surfaces, or an item that allow you to climb during rain without slipping, or maybe some gear that gives you a double jump. Things that you’d be genuinely excited to find as a reward for exploring, yet can finish the game without even if you never find them.
This is where Elden Ring succeeds to me. Everything I’ve found so far has felt like a genuine reward for exploring, and have had some sort of impact on how I play and experience the game. And every skill check in the form of an enemy or puzzle has rewarded me with something that made the effort of overcoming it feel worth it. To me, this is the standard I wished BotW lived up to when I first played it (and what I’ve always wanted all open world games to live up to).
BotW still has the more enjoyable traversal to me, though. FromSoft platforming has its charm in how you have to carefully negotiate your character where you want them go (and again, they’ve always been good at rewarding you for successfully doing so), but BotW is just a more responsive and enjoyable experience when it comes to that. I also think it has the best and most meaningful interactability with the environment of any open world game, it’s really just the reward for doing so that left me wanting.
I'm 40 hours in, and I haven't found the Whetstone knife, nor did I know it was even a thing. I love that I missed it.
@@CrossfacePanda You gotta also consider that BOTW is running on a potato that is Switch. The reason game ran at all was because of these types of cuts
@@franmesic5205 No. That’s not how game dev works for something like this. We’re not talking about an inability to display x amount of objects in a scene, or a memory limit for the game with something like this.
It didn’t contain stuff like that because it wasn’t part of their design goals. If any pragmatism was involved, it was a time and budget issue, not a hardware issue.
One thing to know is that after you talk to Roderika in the Roundtable Hold, if you return to the site of grace where you first find her in Stormhill, there will be a rose on the ground and a Golden Seed
I'm so glad Elden Ring is finally here. Vaati is cracking his knuckles at all the opportunities that this game is going to give him for content, and trust me when I say I'll be looking forward to everything that this game has to offer, as well as all the stuff I'll miss and eventually find out here
Haha I was so pumped to boot it up last night.. But then I remembered how terrible sekiros controller support was on pc and got worried.. and hoooly shit it was even worse, took me two hours fiddling with it and trying all 8 tricks, controller dupes etc to fix it.. it only would recognize R2/L2 and constant spinning in the char creator
But at long last after all the usual methods failed, I got it working randomly
So pumped for this weekend, this is the most hyped I've been for a soulsborne in a decade, even more than BB and sek.
Miyazaki plus ASOIAF lore, sign me up. forbidden West is going on the back burner
well of course he is, From's creativity is what makes him bag and allows him to sell tenuous and dubiously trademark skirting "inspired by" merch. Gotta milk Elden Ring for all its worth because it'll be at least 5 years til the next From game.
@@MegaCygnusX1 lmao
One item I HIGHLY recommend getting early on is the Beast Repellent Torch, this item can be found East in Caelid at the Isolated Merchant's Shack (DRAGONBARROW) for 1500 runes, whilst held, beasts will not attack unless attacked first, this excludes some beasts such as bats/birds/crabs, red eyed beasts, or beast bosses, but is extremely useful around wolves or dogs, it doesn't even need to be lit in your hand to take effect, you can two hand your weapon or have it on your back whilst mounted and it still works.
Went like 300 hours and never used this torch.
I can't even begin to imagine how LOOONG it's going to take to map all the lore for this game. The mostly linear souls games were already a veritable swamp of story but I'm looking forward it
Elden Ring is actually the first game I've ever pre ordered, I literally got a job just to be able to buy the game early lol. Been playing the souls games for years now as they've been my favorite genre of games and needless to say this has been the one game I've been excited for more than any other. Your channel has always come in handy to help me better understand things I may have missed in my playthroughs and to help me expand my knowledge of the amazing lore the games are built upon. I'll be sure to stay tuned for many more of your enlightening videos, especially for Elden Ring. Much Love :)
same lol first ever game to pre order was insanely excited to do so as well.
Lucky, I have to wait 3 months to play elden ring ರ╭╮ರ
@@ThatOneUglyLightskin You'll get there buddy, just be super sure to avoid spoilers till then👍
I did the same for Sekiro due to bloodborne being my first Fromsoftware and soulslike game afterwards I just gradually played all the souls game and automatically was going to pre-order Elden ring
@@P_SUNG I hope to do it more often now, but it's kinda hard with most titles that drop these days :P
It's so overwhelming to watch this before actually playing the game - just thinking holy crap there's so much to do and remember. But I don't think I've ever been this excited to dive into a game before.
Wait until you do play, you'll realize pretty fast that this whole video is a barely noticeable scratch on the surface
I had absolutely no idea about the paintings. I just thought it was something to collect 🤣 thanks for that! I have a few so I’ll get searching!
i thought i can go into it after getting some item
I’ve NEVER said “ WOW “ so many times while playing a game before… It’s unbelievable how slammed with detail & discovery the world of Elden Ring is 🙏
Yeah has to be the best map design of all time
I am having an incredible time playing this game! Gotta love it when you’re SL1 just trying to get some twinblades and when you open the chest you’re teleported across the map. Good times.
yeah those chests can teleport you to some fucking crazy places. i dont want to spoil it but one of them took me somewhere i feel like i wont be seeing again for 80 hours. crazy
@@Gashdal same lol, literally had to run thru
@@da99436 that isn't even the one i'm talking about. you'll know it when you see it. game has me fucking bricked up dude
@@Gashdal bricked tf upppp, let’s gooo!!
do you have problems with the controls and lagging, i am buying ti and just want to know if the reviews are true
***LISTEN TO THE AUDIO FOR NO SPOILERS***
Best way to watch this video without spoiling visuals but still learning something is to listen to the audio only.
This comment needs pinned
I admit, I’m doing the same thing.
Did you read the title of the video? If you don't want the first hour of the game spoiled don't watch it and play...
Totally true
Same lol
I would like to add; make sure to visit the southern or eastern landmass as quickly as possible in general. There's a lot of great stuff that you can't get in the first map area. Especially Sacred Tears to upgade the healing potency of your flask, There's 3 of 'em on the southern landmass alone.
If you exhaust Roderickas dialogue options in the shack initially she will give you the Ashes to summon spirit jellyfish
This shall come very much in handy for the sweaty tryhard playthrough I'll do later, but not now. For at first, I'll be playing as it was meant to be- as a tarnished of no renown. As Gael, a free Knight.
crinj
@@cloudbloom Some cheese with that whine, good sir?
@@christianbrewster2571 Thank ye kindly, champion.
see you out there tarnished
Tarnished like a new pair of briefs the morning after a late night Taco Bell run.
Let's spare a moment to remember the heroes who sadly did not live to see Elden Ring released. I dedicate my first playthrough to them. See you all out there!
This is cringe as fuck bro
@@mattbergamin9001 No need to be so negative mate. Dude wasn't saying anything bad. If you don't have anything constructive or nice to say, don't be a douche.
@@mattbergamin9001 nobody cares what you think, my dude. Go be negative someplace else yeah?
@@mattbergamin9001 Truly is a shame when good people die young, and people who....are kinda *_cringe_* are still here. Not that I'm implying anything of course, cause that would be inappropriate.
As the OP stated. To our fallen comrades, Cheers!
@@mattbergamin9001 ur name is cringe af bro
For anyone who’s curious, Melina will invite you to the round table when you rest after meeting margit. You don’t exactly need to beat him.
She appeared for me before I met Margit. Maybe it’s after a certain amount of deaths? Or after you rest at a site of grace for X amount of times?
I was trapped in the area where the sky is red and the only Way i Got out was Bc She invited me the round table
3:12 - Man, that nighttime black knight on horse was the first enemy I came across where when I hit him I couldn't even tell a difference in lowering of his HP, like not even a tiny sliver of his life bar down when I hit him. I turned and ran from that and haven't gone back to him since.
He is made for I think at least level 30s :P
For those looking for ghost glovewort go to the mistwood and find a dome shaped building enter it and use the elevator you will enter an area full of it
1:21 I love the awkward pause to let the joke sink in XD
Hey I know this guy! Your MK11 sucks movie made me laugh until I cried.
𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕥'𝕤 𝕨𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕤𝕙𝕖 𝕤𝕒𝕚𝕕...
7:07 I thought you said “spirit tuna” 😂 great guide, I am level 70+ and had no idea you could upgrade spirits like my best comrade, the Jellyfish. I’ve been missing out.
I never fought the two Demi-human chiefs, but when I was out exploring I came across the gold sewing needle and tailor kit.... Not sure what makes it any different than the one you showcased tho but I just LOVE how there's just so much to discover just from wandering around.
I think the gold kit and needle are the upgraded version that also let's you alter the demi God boss armors you can buy after beating bosses.
I'm not watching this yet since I want to go into this completely blind, but I just want to say I'm so happy we'll get new lore videos now. This is also really special to me because this will be the first time I play a FromSoft game on launch day. Much love Vaati
I have to hold myself from watching to not spoil myself, but I won't be able to play Elden Ring until summer because of university + job and then the fact that I can't buy a GPU capable of running it. Gonna be a hard few months.
I played Bloodborne/Dark Souls 3/Sekiro/Demon Souls Remake on launch day. Loved bloodborne and DS3 and Demon Souls. Not so much Sekiro
Was skeptical of getting this game since I struggled with liking soulsborne games before. 4 hours in I can hardly put it down, Fromsoft kicked it out of the park!
I'm glad your enjoying, Goodluck my friend and may you seek seek lest
Well now it seems like you have at least 3 games to go back to after you finish elden ring, lucky.
I love seeing new fans, I’m glad you’re loving it bro!
im excited to play this game more on the Steam Deck when it comes out. Apparently this game is gonna run really well on it
3:15 There's also a Night's Cavalry roaming boss on the road in Caelid, near the merchant and map marker on the southern road. Armed with a morning star/flail, and rather brutal :'D
I couldn’t kill Margit with any other weapons, I spent like 4 hours combined trying to kill him just cuz I only have a broadside sord and meteorite ore katana, but I used the Morning star and used a Quickstep ash of war and killed him first time😂😂
Found that one recently. I really need to scour the roads at night to see how many of these things there are. I know of 3 so far, and I'm certain there are more.
i really appreciate you giving good tips, such as where to find bosses without spoiling or showing what the bosses are. i've been selective with what ive watched because i want to experience elden ring relatively organically while still optimizing my play through with tips, but sometimes there will be spoilers on what secrets lead to what, which can make the experience less unique
Vaati I want to go in as blind as possible, but I also won't be able to play until 5th if march, so I really want to watch things cause my hype is through the roof. This was a brilliant video for people wanting to play blind, it dosnt give away too much, just a few little hints and tips, very nice video!
So glad to see Fashion Souls is back better than ever!
The SEEKERS password has been so helpful through my playthrough. I enter a sketchy place and then I see a group message with great tips. Feels amazing to pay it forward. Haven't had this feeling since Deaths Stranding.
Keep on keeping on Tarnished
No joke - the Seekers saved my ass multiple times already! Thanks for this awesome and helpful group, making the Lands Between a little bit safer to traverse
The Secret Seekers idea is really nice!! I will get into it asap :) thanks!!
Seek seek lest
So seek, bro
Still going to have trolls that watch this, set the password and leave a ton of useless messages anyway. Hopefully it will be helpful more often than not
@@joedirt2656 Those are even insightful in a way. I enjoy them, long as they don't outright lie about hidden walls or secrets. Those do not bring a smile to my face
The troll comments are overwhelming. I'm only reading Seeker comments now and it's working great!
One of the biggest things to find in my opinion would be to track down the moonlight great sword THAT would be a HUGE find in this game due to it’s sheer scope of locations
Is the moonlight sword in this 🌙
@@SolidNate99 It'll be a shame if not, but I'm sure it probably is. Probably a weapon made from a boss soul.
@@SolidNate99 its been in every "souls" game including bloodborne, it wasn't in sekiro or code vein because they weren't souls games. Patches should also be somewhere as he returns as often as the sword. In bloodborne he was a spider.
@@SolidNate99 unknown however finding out would be a HUGE secret to seek would it not?
@@TC-cr2fm another thing to keep in mind is in demons souls it was hidden and not a boss weapon and In bloodborne it was in the DLC only obtained by doing a certain action however IF I have to guess a good opportunity to find it would be one of the painting treasure hunts from the video it seems like the rewards for them are very good in particular ways so having the moonlight great sword being a reward for one of them maybe mid to late game would be my best guess
That audible segway was as close to perfection as it gets I know it odd but I really appreciate that level of effort to integrate the add as part of the video.
It’s so much fun playing part of a group in the game related to your channel, such an amazing community.
Tip: I found this out on accident, but you can get to the Round Table Hold without defeating Margit. Rest at the Grace before his boss fog after you die to him, in my it was three or four times.
This actually can trigger at any Grace, the game gives it to you after a period of time playing/exploring.
@@jukeoncampus Oh, well thank you for that. You have a good day.
I didn't even go to Stormveil and I got invited to the roundtable.
@@jukeoncampus It's actually just based on the number of graces in the outside world you've sat at.
@@daemonskycloak6818 makes sense
I think my favorite addition is a really simple one, the map. Its pretty indispensable in an open world game so of course it had to be in Elden Ring but its such a convenient tool that I kinda want it in previous Souls games.
Im absolutely excited to see where this goes you're video go so deep into the topics I genuinely can't help but watch the lore videos
I have looked at so many elden ring videos as I started the game. I’m new to dark souls so I wanted to learn as much as I could and make sure I didn’t miss anything crucial. This is by far the most helpful and well formatted video I’ve seen so far. Incredible job. Thank you for the help!
Bruh, i was literally starting to watch your Eldenring videos to be prepd for more videos and here you are, blessing us with early content! Thank you for your Dedication and Effort! I loved your Vids about Bloodborne
I look forward to the inevitable library of lore deep-dives, insightful tips and tricks, and Prepare to Cry stories once we've all gotten our teeth into _Elden Ring._ See all y'all in the Lands Between!
Hello Vaati, thank you so much for helping discover nighttime bosses (should've watched it earlier as they didn't pose much of a threat to my lvl 86 faith/strength build). However, the location you're indicating at 3:20 is the warmaster's shack; the boss actually spawns on the ruin to the south east.
I just wanted to say that your elden ring videos have been amazing! Just so well done and informative. And your voice and choice of music is so relaxing. Thank you!
just want to say, it makes me so happy to see your videos about elden ring. This is my first time being a fan of soulsborne when a game is actually coming out, and seeing all of the excitement and discussion about every little detail is genuinely magical. Thanks for all the lore and tips!! Keep up the great work
Everything about the game just seems amazing and one of my favourite things to do in games is look for secrets. There's a lot to look forward to if I ever play it
Thank you for being a good and uniting influence on the elden ring community. Making people curious and remind people that the point is to have fun together!
Also don't forget to go back to the shack that you found Roderika was in after exhausting her dialouge there. After exhausting her dialogue she gives you the jellyfish summon. And when you have access to round table hold, go back to the shack you found her in, she leaves you a little gift there. Very useful for early game.
Hey, I’m still waiting to get my copy in the mail. Been trying to avoid any kind of footage or spoilers so I appreciate you giving some solid info without ruining the experience 👍🏼. Looking forward to all the lore videos to come.
Been watching Vaati sense DS and has always caught my attention with his story telling. Cant wait to see what he has in store for Elden Ring. More prepare to cry videos please :D
1:01 It Kinda makes sense for placement. Once you understand that almost every ruins has an underground area it makes more sense.
Hey there, VaatiVidya. Thank you for all these years worth of videos, and pure passion for these games! I look forward to your new Lore videos, and I can't wait to find out some of these secrets myself.
Let's all never forget to "Praise the Suuuuuuuun", even in Elden Ring and all the games to come.
A lovely and heartfelt "Hello" all the way from Costa Rica, my Boy.
Good luck, Brothers! I've already died waaaay too many times XD
I woke up this morning excited for elden ring and searched up your channel straight away cuz I knew you'd already have something up ❤️ love your work man .
good luck with working out the story for the rest of us who can't
Man I’m so excited to watch every single lore video about the world or a prepare to cry.
I love that such vital items are hidden and missable, makes careful exploration absolutely crucial and not just something to do to fill your bags with trash loot
I really love the idea of the flask of physick it’s like making your own flask!
Not even a day out and Vaati is already killing it with the content.
Amazing!
You do realise he had the beta too?
god damn, i did not expect to be roasted by Vaati,
but i kinda liked it
This is the best video on elden ring ive seen come out, in all my sleuthing for tips when not playing this is the only vid that didnt waste my time in anyway and gave me so many useful tidbits to help me through. thank you.
hey man! love the help youre giving me for my first souls game! sadly im in a latin america server so i dont think im able to join the secret seekers but i sill apreciate every little secret you show in the videos!!
"An ash of war that is perfect for you: no skill"
Damn dude didn't need to call me out like that
Just when I thought I was finally safe from Ultrahype you reel me back in with armour alteration. Fashion Souls is just too powerful.
Been watching your videos for a few years now. Absolutely loved your Bloodborne series. You have the best Souls born content. Please keep up the excellent work 💗
I competitively ignored the wondrous flask. I'm so glad I saw this, thank you! I love the game so far. 15 hours in. Level 32 I think.
i'm pretty bad at discovering hidden stuff and i'm sure community such as Secret Seekers will help me a lot. Looking forward to it!
To be apart of this passionate community for a brand new souls game at launch, before anyone has been able to discover every secret inside this vast, massive masterpiece of a game, is truly a gift. I’m so happy to have discovered your channel.
❤️
I copy paste a thepry thwt connects all souls games:
ds3 and bloodborne are narratively completely distinct games, but bloodborne is clearly a cultural evolution of the society and religions present in the souls ... which we can call a spiritual sequel (in a game where souls are the protagonist eh).
the old blood and the healing blood are totally based on the blood of farron and the blood of the dark soul (because bloodborne was written on the cut content of ds1, in particular it delves into nahr alma and velka).
In addition, there are low reliefs identical in the chalice doungeons to those of the lost izalith, the Pthumerians wield the dragon sword (same model of ds1), they are able to use arcane magic, pyromancy, electricity and martyr lugarius (a Pthumerian) releases a power identical to gael (thanks to the blood) ... martyr wielding a demon soul kris blade (which has a similar design to dragon swords and soulsbrandts).
Furthermore, the watchdog of the old lords is clearly a sulyvhan beast of ds3 and the ash armor bone set describes a society very similar to that of ds3 (with similar religions and rituals, namely that of burning oneself and becoming beings with ashy blood). To be considered then how the elder (or giant) grhus are identical to the clearic beast thanks to the blood of farron and that laurence (the cleric beast) is a werewolf corrupted by darkness (and with ape-like movements). It is no coincidence that the nimble shadows of ds2 are werewolves with a symbol on their head (a heart representing a distorted form of the caudecus) identical to that of the gates in yahrnam and connected to the goddess nahr alma. In addition, the beast pearl, once a being a hand, has become a dark beast due to the experiments carried out by laurance and the large intake of blood, in the search for arcane powers used by the Pthumerians (in this case the power of thunder). Ah, then it is clear that in ashes of ariandel and in ringed city, miazaky has given us the last clue to close the circle ... first of all the painter of ashes of ariandel paints a dark and gentle cold place inside a painting corrupt destined to burn, but in the dlc we see rivers (literally) of blood and a culture based on blood, but in particular the cathedral of ariandel is burning like the hunters dream.
in the souls every living being was once hollow, both the eternal dragons (because saturated with souls and crystallized / petrified in time), and the souls starved, being immortal, but without reason, in the eternal search for souls ...
So it is entirely plausible that dark souls is a spiritual sequel based on the bad ending of demon, in which everything is submerged by the fog and the old one (being a warehouse of souls destined to swell and incorporate the whole world) becomes the foundation of the next world, born from the soul and the ashes of the previous one (i.e. the big trees are the old one).
Instead elden ring was written by martin as a direct sequel to the souls, a world based on the disintegration seen in the finale of ds3, born of darkness and ashes, in which the knowledge of the power of the soul is once again preserved ... so to say that elden ring is the union of all the previous souls, it is both in terms of lore and gameplay.
Finally, hunters have always been considered the last wheel of the chariot in souls, tools to satisfy the needs of the powerful by any means ... it is no coincidence that the hunters dream is established in bloodborne, creating a society in which the hunters can "truly" decide their own destiny, but in fact the will of some great beings is followed, who are not other human beings separated from the body part, able to travel on multiple planes of existence because they are made of light (this is evident with déraciné, a game linked to bloodborne by miyazaki's own admission).
Elden ring follows exactly the same rules, a world born from the disegragation seen in ringed city with an evolution of the soul of dark souls (where archtrees ereditated the power of first flame)
An interesting thing I’ve seen with all massive type bosses like the flying dragon Agheel is that they all take critical damage to their head, which exploiting might also make staggering them easier.
The way you so confidentiality said "Elden Bling" got me 😂 Back in my day we called it "Fashion Souls" 👴🏻
Hey Vaati, you need to find the Chrysalid Momento and give it to Rodricka and she will say that she will head to the Round Table.
Then she will give you a Golden Seed as thanks
There seems to be some sort of bug, where Rodricka can arrive at the round table without any prior conditions met.
I've found a ton of paintings and assumed it was a collection them all thing. Thanks for this!
Loving elden ring so far,I cannot wait to see what lore videos you make! Love your vids as always.
I’m glad to see elden ring slaps and isn’t just another great game that’s buggy broken mess. It restores one’s humanity to see it.
Yes, my humanity has been restored
It's so much fun to play
@@horabfibslager8762 but why would you say that?
@@horabfibslager8762 which game are you talking about, battlefield 2077, cyberpunk, fallout 76 on launch, etc
@@horabfibslager8762 That's called an opinion. You and the crap ton of people complaining about not being able to use a keyboard can keep those opinions to yourselves
As soon as I get the game tomorrow I’m speed running straight to a Guts build. I’m going to honor Miuras memory by brutality destroying this world as the Black Swordsman.
happy to see more content for Vaati :) Elden Ring is overflowing with it so I expect to see tons and tons of videos! :D
On a second speedrun attempt, I think what triggers the invitation to Roundtable is simply interacting with Margit (or any major bosses maybe), just seeing his cutscene.
I’m so excited! I’m watching these video a few hrs before the game drops and it well be the first game I play on the ps5 I just got today!!! I can’t wait to discover and experience the game with this community! GO SEEKERS!!!
1st off congrats on getting a ps5 (been hearing alot of people complain about not being able to find them) and 2. Welcome. I'm a very thorough person in open world games so this should be fun sadly my copy was delayed till Saturday so many of you get a day headstart on me.
Be extremely careful to manually save your game and exit to menu when you arent playing. I fell asleep with the game running on launch night, woke up and my PS5 has crashed and my entire save file was deleted. Several reports indicate it's some PS5 specific issue that will hopefully be patched out soon.
@@the_e_letter wow ok thanks
I'm not going to watch this until I play the game a bit BUT I want you to know that it's really cool you still released this early for the people who wanted to see it. Thanks for being a cool guy!
It was a great decision since some like myself get the game today (day earlier) from their retails
I’m loving this game so far, I’ve avoided as many spoilers as possible but I’ve been curious about watching your content . Very nice, I used to watch your dark souls / ds2 videos
Dude your narration is amazing and I love that I found your channel right now
I'm so excited for talisman replicas to pop up on etsy like the rings from Dark Souls have
Can’t wait to join the SEEKERS and see you all there
Thank you, friend, for your sage advice. I am VERY new to Elden Ring and still struggling with the keyboard mechanics having come from a PC WoW type of set up, but this tips and pointers you offer are clear and concise. Being an Australian, it's also nice to hear a familiar accent and I think you should consider reading for Audible. Many thanks.
Nice video. First I've ever seen from you but I subbed and from now on I'm part of the "SEEKERS". Hope to find some SEEKERS out in the wild soon.
I just spent 5 hours stumbling over most of this while just exploring, I love this game to death.~~~
And there's plenty of it 😂
Melina trapped a chest, so when i opened it, it literally teleported me to this super hard area in the game where crimson rot was super common, the game disabled fast travel and forced me to hike it through this god awful place, but when i finally lit the grace site, she comes teleporting in all like "congratulations on passing your test, had i ever doubt, its long gone! welcome to the round table" .... Mean while im just staring at the screen thinking... "You coulda just asked? Didnt have to pull the sneaky sneaky on me."
SAME. I tried to fight, got fucked up, realized I was half way across the map, & ran around trying to find a bonfire. Then Melina tells me I passed the test & I’m just like LOL if you only knew
@@chiefinasmith exactly what happens to me to trigger her as well lol
@@theiceman979 bro I was about to start a new character. I couldn’t figure out how to get out of that place Lmao
What's she just appear when I went through the first portal, the chest was just trapped for me (I got to it later), still that place has 15 smithing shards so everyone should go there asap
This has nothing to do with Melina. The chest there is always trapped. Melina brings you to the table at some point in the game, no connections to the trapped chest.
The trigger for RTH invite is interacting with Margit fight once (win or loss) OR exploring into Caelid/Dragonbarrow. Potentially getting into Liurnia as well haven't tried that path for invite yet.
Seeing other seekers around is so cool. I've been helped with several puzzles
Keep in mind that removing anything from the armor through alteration will decrease it's weight as well as resistances
Careful around the warmasters shack, I warped there at night and got "invaded" by a boss where he usually stands
I was around lvl 18 and he 2 shot me.
Ahh yes the bell hunter. He's a real tough unit
what a nice change to all the guys shouting their advice at u, its so much nicer to listen to ur videos for a long time
The Golden Leaf effect does indeed boost rune gains. The soldiers in the starting area gave me 67 runes instead of the usual 64 when I got it and tested it one day.
Thank you, king. I'm starving. Only hours between me and this awesome experience.
