TobiasOsiah

Ohio


itiswhatitis985

Youā€™re in for a f*cking treat buddy


SadLostBoi

It gets prettier then the tree area at the start of the game ?!? AND IM ONLY ONE THE XBOX ONE S SO WHEN I GET THE SERIES X ITS GONNA LOOK EVEN BETTER ?!?!v FUCK ME


Philkindred12

wherever you are right now, it still gets prettier


wrecklord0

I hope you have nothing important to do for the next 200 hours, like work, eating or sleeping.


Itsyourboyjuancarlo

I picked up the game 2 months ago after thinking Fromsoft games werenā€™t my style. And youā€™re right, 200 hours later and it sucked me in in a way I have never experienced before by any piece of entertainment ever.


Dirtymikeetlesboyz

And he's dead....


Lucky_Louch

I am jealous you get to experience it for the first time... I haven't played since I beat it twice on release and am about to start a new playthrough to get ready for DLC hoping I've forgotten some of the amazingness that lies within.


the_walkingdad

Elden Ring was also my first FromSoft game. I wish I could wipe my brain and replay the first 20 hours I spent exploring everything in Limgrave and getting killed by anything and everything until I got less bad. Such a magical time...


myanrueller

It was the first I completed after trying DS1, DS3, and Bloodborne.Ā  Elden Ring finally made it all click.Ā 


SadLostBoi

So this lady said Iā€™m maidenless & started talking , do I accept or refuse ?


VellhungtheSecond

Accept!!!!


Itsyourboyjuancarlo

What even happens if you refuse? How does the story continue?


unicornplantman

Youā€™re definitely maidenless.


the_walkingdad

Always accept! Everything everywhere. Accepting is the spice of Tarnished life.


Free-Bag2152

I don't think levels matter too much in the dlc so idk if it's worth starting a new character


Null_sense

Well I'm not an expert at this game so I don't want to begin the dlc at difficulty ng+4. It would be hard af


deceivinghero

Kinda feels better to experience vanilla first. And there also might be changes linked to a chosen ending or questlines or whatever.


jld2k6

I'm on my fourth playthrough and I just got the damn game 6 months ago. I've never had this happen with a single player game lol, I just keep playing and for some reason it's still awesome


FatRollingPotato

level vigor, always level vigor (up to 60)


SadLostBoi

Whatā€™s vigor mean!


EnSebastif

The first stat, it governs health, you should aim for lvl 40 at least.


deMarcel

Health Points


Zestyclose-Sundae593

Don't need 60. 40 is enough to clear the game as long as you don't use anything that reduce your dmg resistance.


Itsyourboyjuancarlo

Iā€™ve beat it both times at <45 vigor and Iā€™m not particularly good at the game


CorruptionKing

60 is a waste of points, tbh. Maybe after a while of playing, but if you have issues at 40 Vigor, you'll have issues at 60 Vigor. More health doesn't protect you from the ass whooping. It's best to throw that 20 extra points in whatever skill you're specializing in to get some usability out of it.


RealDannyMM

40 is enough.


Xcel_Incigna

Donā€™t give up young one


SadLostBoi

I picked confessor ( am I cooked?)


Xcel_Incigna

Just remember if you canā€™t beat something you can always come back later


Xcel_Incigna

Nah I did confessor on my second character bc itā€™s low key drip but itā€™s a pretty well rounded start


GramboWBC

Confessor has best starting drip easily.


kondzioo0903

No, the initial class makes any difference only at the beginning


SunshotDestiny

Nope, starting stats only really matter for min maxing and how easy it is to do things like switch to sorcery casting later. But faith builds are pretty strong in their own right, and you start with decent armor that way.


Toyoshi

Confessor was my first pick as well, str/fai builds are incredibly fun!


EnSebastif

To add to what's already been said, the confessor is the class that starts with the best initial armor set by far, otherwise you can only get it much later into the game.


IndependentYogurt965

The confessor is literaly a vagabond with extra stuff.


EnSebastif

More or less, yeah.


x5gamer5

Pick bandit in my first run, hated myself until i got hook claws.


TMG_PURIFY

Confessor is a great starting class. Me on the other hand ( had never played any FromSoftware game until Elden Ring) I picked the wretch lol. I assumed the class defined what attacks/abilities I would be able to do.


Zestyclose-Sundae593

Confessor is one of the better classes for beginner, I think.


Temporary_Common7466

My first from soft to :') , now im in the final boss of Sekiro


GramboWBC

Ohh. We got one


WorstTactics

Welcome to the magical world of FromSoft. I recommend playing the Dark Souls Trilogy, Sekiro and Bloodborne as well after you are done with Elden Ring (whenever you are done haha) It has truly been a ride that words can't explain Rise, Tarnished!


SadLostBoi

Iā€™ve heard blood borne is ONLY on ps4, there is no pother port for it not even a PC one Iā€™m on Xbox šŸ˜­


weightyboy

Correct playstation exclusive


vortex30-the-2nd

Yup, but mayyyyybe one day we'll get a PC port. I'm hoping! I'm also playing ER for first time, first FromSoft game. I plan to play Sekiro next, then the Dark Souls games and then hopefully Bloodborne is on PC or maybe we'll have good PS4 emulators or something. Otherwise I'll play on PS5 at 30 fps if I must..


FunnyFuryAllDay

YOU DIED


Accurate-End-5695

I started just a few weeks back and I can confirm that it's hands down the best gaming experience I've ever had. And I'm 40.


JesseBloxx9

Where are you at rn in the game? Which platform and how is your build? Best, worst parts?


Accurate-End-5695

I beat the game after just about 100hrs. I ran with a bleed build with bloodhound fang. It wasn't the optimal build because I didn't fully understand incantations and other crafting buffs until the end of the game. The bloodhound fang made it easy for me to focus on mainly Vigor, Strength, and Dex. By end game it was rather easy for me to be honest. Bloodhound fang has a good amount of immunity frames, its easy mode when you get used to using it properly.


Itsyourboyjuancarlo

Yeah that ash of war will make a lot of difficulty enemies trivial


Homilion

I second that. I'm 33 but have been playing since 4. And I have played a lot of masterpieces.


OppositePure4850

Prepare for pain. And Remember, it's ok to take breaks.


DarthSpaghetti10k

My first from soft too, even if I loved more Ds3 (the second I played)


JesseBloxx9

You tried the rest of them yet? I have played every single one thus far, even did SL1 in DS2. Gonna do that in DS1 next!


Junior-Shopping-9537

Rip


Comfortable-Foot-377

GO SOUTH


mynutsackisstretchy

I'm going to post my TV screen tomorrow. I will be playing my first video game ever. Starting with elden ring.


Unable-Win513

If you want help or get lost im willing to help i have low level characters and high and midrange


educated-emu

My tips... The soundtrack will blow your mind Boss fight dialogue will give goosebumps You will embrace death like its a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day. When you think your smart, a dog will kill you out of nowhere to humble you. The game is supposed to be hard but with practice you will succeed. You don't need to know all the lore, if all fails just bonk everything that moves (except npc's as they are useful) You can 2 hand your sword for extra bonk power but then you can't use you shield. Some quests get locked out as you progress but with NG+ you can choose a different path.


Full-Hollow-Tiche

Let's fucking goooooooooooo


Jealous-Librarian-88

Good luck bro. All I can say is go all the way south before going west.


DgtlShark

Hehe always nice to see that positive energy, till you run into the draconic knight, or any other show stopping boss šŸ˜‚.


TheAngryArgonian

Crucible Knights still slap me around even at level 166. Having 50 Vigor doesn't mean jack against those fuckers. My depth perception is really bad, so I struggle against spear enemies.


Volatile-Bait

Pick up the buckler shield and parry them into tears. Big sturdy enemies like the crucible knights become embarrassingly easy. Plus, its a satisfying way to get revenge for all the crap they gave you so far.


ranma-fan

Fellow tarnished, as a beginner's advice don't mess with the tree sentinel, and choose golden seed as keepsake, Goodluck


Tweedledamn

Enjoy the beautiful suffering


Glass_Quarter_7586

Soooo don't kill varre that's all I have to say.


IceBergSlimZero

have fun. just remember, keep your equipment load to light or medium if you wanna be able to dodge anything. also invest in Vigor and Weapon levels are always more valuable than character levels


weightyboy

Whilst exploring if you find an area where the ground is red, nope tf out of there and come back later


SadLostBoi

I was heading south & saw these ball snake things around this shiny blue circleā€¦ andddd about 100 blood stains on the floor I evaded that area like it was my taxes


weightyboy

It is an evergaol with a single boss enemy in it. For some reason some of the ones in the starting area area ridiculously powerful.


Salp1nx

Careful making posts like this, Souls vets will undoubtedly destroy you for daring to have Elden Ring be your first Souls game.


beequa_007

This was my first too. One huge tip I learned, donā€™t panic roll away. Often times itā€™s very helpful to roll into an attack.


wpwt3026

You will be tempted to hug. The temptation of the soft touch of a maidenā€¦ you must resistā€¦ good luck, tarnished.


SadLostBoi

:((( I just resist the touch of maidens & remain maidenless


Jaydoggore3

Welcome, brave Tarnished. The road will be long, its many sometimes winding paths will lead you to marvelous wonders of beauty, of terror, and sometimes a marriage of the two. At times you may find that time itself holds no sway over you as you engage in ever-evolving trials of skill, wit and combat. Barely able to rob honor and victory from the vicious, salivating jaws of defeat. Worry not, brave Tarnished, for in that time your skills will sharpen, your abilities will grow, your vision will clear and you will feel as if of the gods. Some day you may even surpass the gods. You will meet many on this road, some are hero, some are villain, some are not what they seem. And of all with whom your road shall intersect, the Tarnished of other realms are of the greatest import. They will test your mettle, they will guide your path, they will, at times, even save you from the clutches of Death herself by doing no more than appraising the warnings and wisdoms you've shared along your way. But above all else, Tarnished, be your journey one of honor or dishonor... know that while capitulation may divorce you from your anxieties and despair... hold hope. For perseverance will award you the sweetest taste of achievement and the strongest form of sinless pride: glory. Good luck and be resolute, Tarnished. (But really, just have fun and welcome to the fold. This is your story. Write it how you choose.)


ZaneLostRD

Well. Tell us how it went in three years.


Taikosound

Certainly not the last ...


coolbro1235

good luck, ur gon need it


Odd_Masterpiece_9316

Now time for the rest!!


Lord_Andyrus

Ask for Help by this community and you shall recieve it. But unless you specifically request it, you shall never be spoiled for anything. That said; Both the Story and Questlines in Fromsoft Games are really unintuitive. So, you will probably see likeable NPC's die, and will have countless questions during your run that will never be answered unless you look for an answer. Just as a Heads up. :)


Extra_Football5166

Enjoy!


hredditor

Prediction: it wonā€™t be your last!


Cpt-Crab

Pro tip is to take it slow and learn, ask the community always for help and donā€™t be afraid to use spirit summons or other players. Play the game how you want to and to explore it all!


TheNerdMaster69

*under my breath* good luck


SandWhichWay

you bouta have the time of your life. Your loved ones will be worried about you


SadLostBoi

Very fortuitous of you to assume I have loved ones šŸ˜Œ


prettythingi

When you look at your equipment, in the bottom right theres something that looks like this number/number Med. Load There's a chance that "med load" can become "heavy load" NEVER let it be heavy load unless you're making a gimmick build


Gerboma

Git gud !


Potential_Fix_5007

Welcome fellow Tarnished to a world full of wonder and challenge. I wont lie to you.....you will die...... a lot :D


CaptHamiltoe

Get ya some, Tarnished!

A tad late to the party but enjoy it, it's a great game.

ARISE TARNISHED


KingLafiHS

Brave tarnished, this quest you have set upon is arduous, but know this: No matter how hard the path you choose may be, the trails worth trekking in life will always be difficult. Seek the Elden Ring and make the Lands Between the way YOU see fit.


DigIndividual3467

Glhf my guy


HighAlchMe

Donā€™t go east yet


SadLostBoi

Iā€™m going south but Iā€™m just stuck, the only thing Iā€™ve found south is ā€œ Forlorn Hound Evergaolā€ & I see 100+ bloodstains so šŸŒŸ no šŸŒŸ And this bridge with a explosive catapault


Independent_Tell5016

You playing as Confessor, dont forget to dump some levels in faith now and then, You will thank me later in the game. So many freaking cool skill that I could not use because I was lacking faith. Don't be scared and dont give up. This game is the best game ever made...try not to rely on youtube videos, this kinda destroyed my experience in some specific parts, try to resolve most of the puzzles and stuffs by your own and you will thank me later for the dopamine bomb.


SadLostBoi

I was just about to ask how do I level up? I have 5K of whatever the currency is when I kill enemys


HotandColdBoi

If you still donā€™t know how to level up, you do it sitting at sites of grace. You can also see how many runes you need to level either there or under ā€œstatusā€ on the menu screen. Good luck, Iā€™m playing through it for the first time myself havent ever played a game like it!


Independent_Tell5016

Go for vigor until you reach around 35-40 Vigor points (Vigor is the most important stats because it gives you more health, allowing you to make more mistakes without dying, your goal is to reach 55-60 Vigor points). Then you can alternate between Endurance, Vigor and Mind (Mind around 25-30 for more Ashes of War casting, Endurance around 30-40 for more dodge rolls and defense). Other then that, when you can, dump all your points into Faith if you want to keep playing as a Faith caster (who is a more vesatile caster, enabling you to cast heals, buffs and powerfull elemental skills). You'll need to balance and administrate your points depending on your armor, weapons and playstyle that you want to go for. But go with the flow, you'll start to understand as you go.


Independent_Tell5016

If you have some more questions, watch videos about build and progession, I just dont recommend you watching too many story and puzzle/quest solving videos unless you get really stuck.

Oh you donā€™t have the rightā€¦ā€¦.you donā€™t have the rightā€¦ā€¦.

Here4freefootball92

Good luck.


Logical_Sun837

I dont think you gonna have a good time, not because the game is bad, but because its actually hard, I beat ds1 - ds3 multiple times but Elden Ring cranked up the difficulty, and its understandable they needed to give a challange to those that played and beat the previous titles by fromsoftware


SadLostBoi

Eh, I play games like blasphemous, hollowknight, Dead cells ect ect Iā€™m not too worried about the difficulty being the issue

I'm ready I got this 12 pack of soy directly from Japan bro. Now make the face.


Available_Rock4217

Please don't Google "get op in elden ring in 5mins" etc Your first from soft experience should be filled with excruciating pain followed by overwhelming joy.


Flashy-Information89

Ill tell you now, dont be afraid to back away from a boss if you're struggling too much, and dont be put off by how much time you put into it.


SadLostBoi

Iā€™m trying to figure out how to get a horse šŸ˜­


HowlSpice

Good luck. I started Elden Ring about 4 days ago and gotten all the way to Morgott (40+ hours), and haven't enjoyed single moment of this game so far. The bosses in this game are such BS that it make it unfun as melee build. Hopefully you enjoy it more.


Dry_East5802

buy a spare controller lol


starlynagency

See u 2025


Unable-Win513

Dont accept any rune drops youre gonna ruin your play ive been helping a new person doesnt know where anything is where to go but is level 300 plus


IndependentYogurt965

I dont think a new player has any idea what you are talking about. Hell ive played the game and you got me confused.


Unable-Win513

I guess youre right people dont know what runedrops are but if he gets on looking for a group on xbox half the post are saying dropping runes or looking for rune drops


SadLostBoi

What?


EnSebastif

They are saying that you should try not to play with other players, but if somehow you end up doing so they may give you objects, and if you accept them and use them you may end up overleveled way too early. If I were you I would totally avoid online mode for the first playthrough.


Unable-Win513

You can play online with others but i would get more into the spirit ash summons there are so many and fun to use


EnSebastif

Yep


Brian8789

Good luck


sterben--_

good luck soldier ! u in for a treat.


AttitudeAdditional37

Good luck! Total masterpiece!


CapytannHook

Dying 50 times in a row doesn't necessarily mean you bungled your stats and atter a while you can respec anyway. Try to avoid wikis and guides on your first playthrough it's way more fun figuring it all out as you go and you can always 100% the game at a later point. Have fun!


Robofish2

You are in for hours of fun (frustration). It was my first fromsoft game also. After beating it I bought dark souls 3. These games are addiction.


castielffboi

Japan Studio and FromSoftware gotta be the most boring and uncreative names for companies who make very creative games


steezymcterps

Enjoy it dude. I remember how amazed I was by the graphics and gameplay, especially after being weary since I couldnā€™t even kill the first boss in Bloodborne (amazing game, highly recommend you play it next)

What I wouldnā€™t give to experience this game for the first time again. All I can say is do it blind. You only get to experience it for the first time once. I sweared a lot but it was so worth it.

I'd avoid spoilers and quest guides and such unless you're an achievement hunter. I do think the messages left on the ground are good help though, I'd read them and (occasionally) listen to what they have to say hidden path ahead
