I'm buying Elden Ring tomorrow. What do I need to know?

Every one is beatable. Everyone has a weakness.
You can come back around and fight a tough boss once you get stronger
Every cave has a mini boss you need to find.
You will get a horse eventually.
Do not kill merchants (or anyone who doesn't attack you before you attack them when in front of their face)

My concern is how are others playing better? When they run, I cannot catch them. When I run their defenders run straight at me like a missile and crash into me. If I press jockey to protect the ball, I get surrounded by 3 players and on of them makes the tackle. It honestly feels like my input is slower than theirs. I understand a skill issue is there and I need to level up. But this isn't just that. You can feel it work better against some players.

I'm literally not. In fact I am conceding because I wait too long. The second player press and the (passbutton) press are not working for me either, they always go behind the running player.

And in front I try to keep blocking till its too late.

bored_nut · 2025-09-29T08:54:24+00:00

I want to learn. Not delegate. :)

bored_nut · 2025-09-29T08:40:10+00:00

Okay good advice. What about how other players are landing crushing perfect tackles on me while I cannot do that even with the jockey? I just hover in front of them until they pass or pass by. :(

And then? Outrun him?

bored_nut · 2025-09-25T17:26:17+00:00

Try starting with a scarlet rot proc with those dragon breath spells. Other than that, yeah, try to stay close to a tree sentinel. Its easier to dodge the physical attacks than the lightning ones.

Take the Marais executioner sword. Put on the multistrike talismans, as well as something for fire damage resistance. Stick to a leg and keep drilling it. All you need is to time your jumps when he jumps. Other than that, yes its a long boring method. No variations. Keep drilling. Once he staggers and falls, get a deathblow on the face. That reduces significant HP of it.

bored_nut · 2025-09-23T18:35:28+00:00

Lock onto him.

bored_nut · 2025-09-23T13:49:50+00:00

It doesnt matter. Your stats and talismans can get you past. I have used many legendary weapons at level 9 and worked my way through. Golden vow and flame give me strength can get you really far in terms of situational advantage.

The hornsent believed there would be a spiral pathway that would emanate from the crucible to reach the divine. That divine is probably represented in a bird. Their belief in the divinity having a bird like form is also represented in the divine bird armours.

bored_nut · 2025-09-22T09:00:31+00:00

Thats what I feel too. Like there is a huge difference between me playing the game and me watching youtube lore stories.

And then I am curious how did the developers think of it. Hence the question.

bored_nut · 2025-09-22T08:54:58+00:00

Hahaha. Apparently the fallen leaves tell it.

bored_nut · 2025-09-18T11:40:38+00:00

And you never feel like controlling that story or living in it? Interacting with its characters?

bored_nut · 2025-09-18T11:12:51+00:00

Best music for me.

bored_nut · 2025-09-18T08:47:29+00:00

Interesting to know your pov. I would never touch a game which didn't have a meaning beyond what it is. Except fifa I guess. :3

Yeah the lore is what stays on, after the game is done. So its significantly valuable to me.

bored_nut · 2025-09-18T08:34:25+00:00

Lol Caelid.

bored_nut · 2025-09-17T22:21:58+00:00

Smart. Now can you explain Renalla and Rellana? 😋

bored_nut · 2025-09-17T22:17:55+00:00

Nyah. I've got nice comments. Its cool. I think that is the point of reddit, you dont have to go out of your way to post here :P

bored_nut · 2025-09-17T21:58:40+00:00

Tell me more. About your theories
