Multiplat Elden Ring

Margit?

Tutorial boss is Soldier of Godrick (super huge health bar, but kind of like Xavier Ellis in that a few hits and he's down!), beat him last night. I plan to resume my progress tonight, but still waiting for more YouTube playthroughs to pop up before I play more seriously. Right now I'm just rush exploring so no doubt missing a lot of item pick ups. I know there's a guide on how to get slightly powerful within 15 minutes that I might test out one day.

Margit?

Nah not him. I can’t remember what his name was.

Edit : his name is solder of godrick as stated above by extreme.

oh I didn't fight him will go back now.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

He’s pretty easy to kill.

Margit?

Probably where you can fall down into the cave. To me that seemed like the right thing to do but I'm assuming you can go up and open the door to head outside right away.

The game itself is really good but I’m finding it so bloody difficult.
I crafted one of those fire pots and I have no idea how to aim it. I crafted a few of them and hit nothing at all.

I have no idea how to do magic. I have all these items in my inventory that I have no idea what they do.

The game doesn’t tell you anything.

Best bet is to add it to your bottom dpad (via Equipment menu) and use square to throw, once you have locked on to an enemy (or equivalent keys)

I recently got this massive sword and I can barely use it because it’s too heavy. Can’t run or jump when it’s equiped. Would be nice to know what I need to do to use it properly..

If you two hand it you will probably be OK. For a strength build probably best off investing in strength, stamina and vigour. Stamina is what allows you to carry more gear. If you have a heavy load you are very sluggish and can't roll, as you've found out. Stamina gives you more carry ability

I’ll give that a try. Thanks for your help!

Demon Souls Remake made by From? everyone raves on how good that game runs and looks suprised they didn't do the same with Elden Ring.

Nope, Bluepoint handled the remake.

you mean the tutorial boss? I didn’t even know there was a tutorial section until today. I went back to The start and beat him.

Let's all agree that the tutorial boss does not count, it's just a regular enemy haha. Certainly not a good representation of what's to come!

I think that’s the problem. Bluepoint did such an amazing job, From are now under pressure to have next gen graphics and a solid 60 frames on all platforms.

I think the critic ratings not taking any of this into account is a window into how broken the system is. They are only 1 step away from the car industry in terms of trustworthiness.

Maybe we need to go back to the old rating system of 10 scores for every category - graphics, music, story, etc

I don't think its that deep. From has repeatedly had poor performance in their past games, across platforms. It's a significant weakness of theirs.

Absolutely. He was easier to kill than some regular enemies!
I just killed the black knife assassin!! Does he count?

I honestly don't even want to count the mini dungeon bosses, at least the ones ive encountered so far. Been a little too easy for mine.

Having said that, I'm only a bit past the first of the 5 major bosses so plenty of time for that opinion to change.

What the hell is that ?

giant. Try but hole.

 

[Xtreme]

giant. Try but hole.

Makes sense I had the same sort of fear when I saw it.... just like the armored tusk in Dark Souls!

Yeah same. And they only get more fearsome as you progress. I avoid them entirely.

 

[Party Gull]

The Royal Capital is BRUTAL. Really struggling against the regular enemies, the place has so many paths to take and just when I think I'm about to hit where I want to go it loops back on where I started. If anyone has been through and knows the proper path I could use some directions.

Edit: found the right way to go, the boss is one of the harder hitting bosses I can think of. Won't be beating them for some time.

 

[00Stinger]

so is this game like Skyrim?

 

[catpremier 07]

The level design of the castle is really brilliant. Taken me 8 hours wandering through getting my bearings. The boss is an absolute bitch though.

 

[Party Gull]

so is this game like Skyrim?

No.

 

[Dazb86]

so is this game like Skyrim?

No. Its a souls game with greater exploration.

I have never played any of the Souls games

RPG?

Kind of. They're pretty unique. Difficult, patience based, a lot of the game is not explained lore wise without really doing the research, a lot of the game gameplay wise is also not explained. They take a bit of getting used to.

Godrick the grafted is more of a bullshit boss then Margit

Time to invest in some new swords my long sword is just too slow to get hits on bosses.
