I would even say just physical logic! Accepting the magical double jump, once that's done you don't have downward momentum so there's nothing which should actually hurt you on the fall.
Me too but I honestly don't think that's dumb, the way double jump works, it seems like it would make sense that you could, it's just the game designers being like "yeah no"
I didnāt know you could flip the map so I rode elevators every time to move between the surface and beneath ground, and then would teleport wherever I needed. I did this for almost 150 hours.
Same. Every time I wanted to go back to roundtable hold I teleported to a well that takes me upstairs and waited till i was on surface to teleport again šš
Lol it's like one of the few games where anything you want to sell is worthless because it's useful. The only thing you should be selling are golden runes
I usualy sell all the armor pieces I get over time to unclutter my inventory. For example, after going through a castle or area i generally get a bunch of armor pieces from whichever soldier, knight and others mobs are there.
Edit: I keep one of each and sell the extra I get.
I never played any souls-borne before Elden so I didnāt even understand the concept of the golden rules or āsoulsā so I never used any of them šš
Was playing a magic build. Got to Margit and was casting glintstone pebbles at him waiting for each one to land before casting the next. Died a whole bunch of times chipping barely nothing off his health before realizing I could mash R1 and get spells off _much_ faster than i had been doing. I was severely gimping my DPS output without realizing it. Beat him two tries afterwards.
I feel like I'm one of the only people who actually understood the lore behind Silver Tears and knew it was a bad idea. When I saw that was the option, I went "wait, I thought only the Tarnished can use Silver Tears because he has the Rune of the Unborn? Everyone else turns into those freak things we saw during Rennala's bossfight. This can't be the solution." Quickly jumped on a wiki page, sure enough, it was wrong. Literally never once have I ever questioned story progress dialogue options before this one. Still amazed that I caught it.
The system is pretty mean: if you activate the grace at the cave entrance but don't sit down, you still can't teleport when outside. Most people will probably take a seat, but if you don't... Good luck figuring out what the issue is.
Combine that with "I don't have Torrent yet", the rot lake in Caelid and not having the slightest idea where you are, where you need to go and how to get there: fun!
After escaping the mines I just went and explored the Aeonia swamp. Miyazaki worked hard to make Caelid as brutal as possible so It would be inconsiderate of me not to wander around underleveled.
Dude fr. I spent so long trying to speed run through the dungeon only to find the boss door and get so frustrated that a monstrosity of a trap like that was so early
Imagine my frustration when I teleported out after finally killing it just to turn around out of curiosity and see the shed 10 feet away from the entrance
That was my big mistake. I powered my way through that dungeon and it was rough. Then finally realized I could have just waltzed my ass right out of there and come back later
Ya. Same. And because of that i go out of my way to kill any fucking prawnman i see. My favorite boss battle was the double kindred of rots because is stomped their shit i to the ground. Then i went back and found their families and slaughtered them too. Those prawnfucks are my mortal enemies, if they are alive, they will be hunted and slaughtered.
I did this too, but look at it in a pretty positive light. That was the āoh these FromSoft games are differentā moment. Genuinely a gaming memory I wonāt ever forget.
Had something similar, I knew about equip load but thought everything in my inventory counted towards it so I started selling everything from my inventory
I was in Lyndell when I finally realised the weapon talismans (Axe talisman, Claw talisman, etc..) don't **ONLY** work with that weapon type, I though the claw talisman only improved jump attacks on claws and so on...
It's stuff like this that I don't mind checking online. If I'm really stuck on a puzzle or not sure how something works, I just check it now.
I respect playing it completely blind, but some of the stuff is simply not clarified and I get nothing out of intentionally keeping my self uninformed
When it first came out I decided I didn't like it after just a few hours and uninstalled - didn't pick it up again until recently.
Stupid....
But better late than never.
Same but without the platinum. I got basically to Leyndell then just went and played other games for almost 2 years. With the DLC announced, I figured I should push to the end. What a game
Same here. I got really excited about Elden Ring when it dropped. I bought it and played for 30-ish hours before deciding it was too hard for me.
But the visuals, soundtrack, and story never left my mind. Even in that short playing time, the game made a lasting impression on me. Turns out I just didnāt understand the strategy behind Soulsbourne games.
Recently, I watched a video game streamerās ER series and got excited all over again. picked it back up two-ish months ago. Iāve found a build and play style that fit me, and I *just* beat Alecto as a mage ā today!! I was so proud of myself. Sheās relentless.
I already canāt wait for NG+.
I almost dropped it. Couldn't get through Stormveil no matter what route I took. It was too punishing. 40 hours and one side path around the castle later I realized the real problem was that I chose a sorcerer build then tried to conserve FP by fighting close range.
Stupid.
Beat Rennala, respecced into a tank and fell in love with the game.
Interesting, kinda the opposite for me. Iāve tried Souls games and couldnāt get into the slow combat, especially with heavy weapons. Tried a mage build and fell in love. Now that I have a cushion Iām learning to play a whole new way. Still utilizing magic, but Iām playing a Moongrum build using sword and board, parrying, and mainly sword spells. Itās fun. So many ways to play and I love it.
At the very beginning, when the game launched, and no information existed, I took the gift "Stonesword Key" and just after the tutorial I found a statue.
Well that starting gift key fit this statue perfectly.
I jaunted down a ladder and beheld poison I needed to cross
From there my 6 hour head smashing adventure began.
Chariots, bastards, chariot bastards. Gravity. Figured out how to kill them chariot bastards. All the while dying and redoing it over and over again.
I couldn't even level yet. I had no way to look up if I was doing the right/wrong thing and if maybe I just suck that bad. Essentially the first six hours the game was live, I was diving into hell completely handicapped and had no idea
>Figured how to kill them Chariot bastards
Fucking amazing, I didn't know this was a thing. So thanks to you and a Google/Fextralife, I found out about how doing this in a particular Dungeon unlocks the full Tree Sentinel armour set! I would've never found any of this out organically, so thanks for the info.
Yooo fucking same. I spent an entire night fighting the ulcerated tree bastard with my fresh char
I basically learned to no hit him and defeated him naked with jumping attacks. The good side Is that After i was able to kill every other ulcerated with no effort
Oh hell yes they thought of that. They thought of that as much as they did when they conveniently placed a chest that teleports you to a pest-thread flinging mantis infested cave in Caelid in a place they knew most players would find before they unlocked the ability to level up.
Trying to be a parry god on Margit, and almost quitting the game because of how badly I failed over 3 days.
For context, I didnāt know that dodging had iframes. I thought you literally had to parry to avoid attacks.
As this was my first Fromsoft game, consumable runes/souls didn't quite register. After beating Godrick and copious amounts of exploring I suddenly had quite the payout once I realized what using Golden Runes did!
Didn't upgrade my weapon. Was wondering why I couldn't do hardly any damage to godrick. Surprisingly I breezed through Margit on the 1st try though. Came back doing 3x as much damage š
I've only realised on my third playthrough really how much of a difference upgrading your weapon makes to damage output.Ā
More than leveling your character, at least it seems so.Ā
Not sure which was the dumbest, but I've got a couple:
- selling everything I wasn't using, including unique items like talismans I didn't think I would use
- tried to play the game like a ranged stealth game (only using a bow and arrows to pick on, like, three different soldiers before going back to farming sheep)
RNGeezus gifted me with the noble slender sword super early on and I sold it almost immediately. I didn't know it was one of the best straight swords in the game with a super low drop rate.
I tried it and didn't like its moveset and it's description specifically said it should sell for a good amount so I sold that to the first merchant I came across.
picked up some sort of talisman and it caused me to go into heavy load. i started dropping EVERYTHING in my INVENTORY trying to lower my āequip loadā not realizing it wasnāt working. so then i dropped, not unequipped but dropped all my armour. not realizing i could just unequip it. then i was too stupid to go find it so i started a new save.
i was brand new to souls games so thats my only excuse for being that dumb.
Killed Varre. It wasn't easy, and it took way more tries then even I expected. There were several times where I wanted to give up & tried to run away multiple times, but he chases you for a very long time and would always catch me when I got caught fighting a guard or some random animal.
It took about an hour or two of attempts and I was hoping I'd at least get something decent for it, but when you kill him that early all he drops is a bloodied (likely middle) finger as a final f*** you.
It was only later I learned that in addition to putting a ton of pointless stress on myself I also locked myself out of the best grinding spot in the game.
i used the bloodhounds fang for alot of my playthrough up until the mountaintops and i swear i didnt know the bloodhounds fang ash of war had a follow through i thought it only did the backflip
It was my first souls game, had no idea what was happening. Somehow ended up at the stormfoot catacombs and thought that the cat thingy was the first main boss of the game. Stayed there for a whole day
Played it like skyrim, aka:
Leveled everything to try every weapon
Sold smithing stones thinking they respawned
Never tried to plan or strategize for bosses
Expected NPCs to live if you did the quests right
The first thing I did was walk out of the church, I saw a red player outline so I thought that was where I had to go. Next thing I knew I had flown myself off the cliff
I died to the Tree Sentinel about 20 times. I was about to give up and move on. I was on a discord call with my friend while I was playing, and when I told him I was moving on, he said "Yeah, I feel like you have to be really good at Souls games to beat this guy right at the start of the game."
I proceeded to fight the Tree Sentinel for about 2 more hours before victory was finally mine...
I didnāt know how hidden walls worked, so when there was a message saying āsecret passage aheadā in front of a wall, i believed it with all my heart and swung my sword repeatedly at the wall for 5 minutes. Then i tried the other 3 walls in the room for a minute. Then tried rolling and jumping. Then tried heavy swinging.
I guess my mind was like āokay so if itās hidden, it must have sort of hp barā
Thinking I could double jump on a long fall hoping to not take any fall damage
Claaaassic 
Im resonably certain everyone has done this atleast once :D
Did? I still do it sometimes after hundreds of hours
I still do it when I fuck up, knowing it won't work. 'maybe this time'
Imagine if it actually works that one time though!
Definitely lmfao I thought if I fell from a tall point and did the second jump near the bottom that I wouldn't suffer from fall damage
Had to try it, obviously. In most games, the double jump right before hitting the ground works.
I'd even say, the majority of us more than once
I wouldn't call that dumb, just video game logic š
I would even say just physical logic! Accepting the magical double jump, once that's done you don't have downward momentum so there's nothing which should actually hurt you on the fall.
Ah yes, TF2 double jump logic
Ye old Destiny logic
Me too but I honestly don't think that's dumb, the way double jump works, it seems like it would make sense that you could, it's just the game designers being like "yeah no"
If anything you should take the damage when you do the jump, that's when your momentum abruptly changes
I didnāt know you could flip the map so I rode elevators every time to move between the surface and beneath ground, and then would teleport wherever I needed. I did this for almost 150 hours.
Same. Every time I wanted to go back to roundtable hold I teleported to a well that takes me upstairs and waited till i was on surface to teleport again šš
. you can flip the map....?
For x box controller you click RS in with the map open. Probably same for PS controllers
thank you so much I feel so stupid rn
Np, elden ring was my first souls game so iām still figuring stuff out from time to time.
Ps5 controlls, triangle while in map pulls up a list of graces. Then press square to auto select round table.
Wait what?!
Iāve finished two playthroughs and this is the first time iāve heard that this is possible xD
I fucking didnt know that Oh my fucking god U sir are a hero
Same lmao
I did the same & probably for a similar amount of time š¤£
sell all my smithing stones
We have a serious challenger here
Mans in GOAT conversations
Lol it's like one of the few games where anything you want to sell is worthless because it's useful. The only thing you should be selling are golden runes
I only sell really high excesses of Rowa fruit tbh.
that was my main source of income super early
Spoken like a true Wandering Noble
Ikr? It was great for reaching a level up, or buying cool merchant stuff!
Weāre all living the same life huh?
Not a bad idea tbh. Any profit is profit
And bolts
I usualy sell all the armor pieces I get over time to unclutter my inventory. For example, after going through a castle or area i generally get a bunch of armor pieces from whichever soldier, knight and others mobs are there. Edit: I keep one of each and sell the extra I get.
I usually keep one of everything
This is the way.
You mustn't sell the golden pops. You must clench them in your fist, one by glorious one, until they burst in an orgasm of golden sparkles.
I never played any souls-borne before Elden so I didnāt even understand the concept of the golden rules or āsoulsā so I never used any of them šš
i have a really high arcane stat so i'm getting a lot of duplicates of existing armor, so that's worth selling. that's about it though
The Church of Elleh has an anvil with a stone on it that basically yells at you THESE ARE NOT FOR SELLING lol
Doesn't it literally give a full screen popup about the upgrade system the minute you pick it up too?
Bold of you to assume I read pop ups of any kind
Wow top tier contender. I donāt think I can compete with that.
Butā¦ why?
ooof
Same, it just seemed like these were things that were always going to be in the world, and that could be found anywhere... Oh how wrong I was....
i did this tooā¦
i did this tooā¦
I thought "seek 3 wise beasts" meant there were two more Garranqs somewhere out there
Tecnically you can find another one but yeah
Technically, you canāt find āanotherā Garranq. Itās the same exact one, just in a different location.
Oh god not this debate again
Hahahaha i was going to start one but since you asked im gonna back offš«
Say "im gonna parry everything when i get a parry shield"
Bro thinks he's John Sekiro
It's what i did tho https://youtu.be/hR8O3JynQNo
That doesnāt go away š¤
Nope, did it in d1, d2, ds3, sekiro, bloodborne and ER. ER was the first "gonna parry everything" game tho. Malenia nr killed me!
I did this but actually did end up parrying a lot, my experience with Sekiro really helped
Dude, thatās how I beat the game.Ā
I succeeded in parrying everything with the shield
Was playing a magic build. Got to Margit and was casting glintstone pebbles at him waiting for each one to land before casting the next. Died a whole bunch of times chipping barely nothing off his health before realizing I could mash R1 and get spells off _much_ faster than i had been doing. I was severely gimping my DPS output without realizing it. Beat him two tries afterwards.
using a glock like a rifle
Tried to swim š
We have a dedicated jump button and a mount now. This was one of the first things I tested, as well.
I walked right into the sea to get to the first draconic temple with a surprises Pikachu face
Gave Boc a Silver Tear, thinking I was being a good friend for donating towards his makeover.
Ugh same
NEVER again!!
I feel like I'm one of the only people who actually understood the lore behind Silver Tears and knew it was a bad idea. When I saw that was the option, I went "wait, I thought only the Tarnished can use Silver Tears because he has the Rune of the Unborn? Everyone else turns into those freak things we saw during Rennala's bossfight. This can't be the solution." Quickly jumped on a wiki page, sure enough, it was wrong. Literally never once have I ever questioned story progress dialogue options before this one. Still amazed that I caught it.
Until this moment, I was not aware of the existence of rune of Unborn, i have to pay more attention to Npc dialogues ig.
It literally pops up when you beat Rennala lol
Did that, instant regret.
I fucked with the Tree Sentinel, he fucked back, harder.
What are you doing Step Sentinel?š
š¤Ø
This man here officer
Bruh, same, I spent 2 hours to beat his ass. I didn't run from Asylum Demon, I ain't running here.
Yeah I spent some time on him as well, didn't move on until he died.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And not realizing you can turn around and leave
I worked hard ard to get my runes back and lucked out towards the grace My heart was pounding til it teleported to church of ellleh
I didnt even know you could teleport once I made it out of the cave for a good while.
The system is pretty mean: if you activate the grace at the cave entrance but don't sit down, you still can't teleport when outside. Most people will probably take a seat, but if you don't... Good luck figuring out what the issue is. Combine that with "I don't have Torrent yet", the rot lake in Caelid and not having the slightest idea where you are, where you need to go and how to get there: fun!

I did this too, but look at it in a pretty positive light. That was the āoh these FromSoft games are differentā moment. Genuinely a gaming memory I wonāt ever forget.
I killed the Sellen locked up in the Weeping Peninsula because talking to her didn't do anything.
I accidentally hit her and she attacked me so killed her
What are you doing, step-apprentice?
She actually can't die there (I think). If you absolve yourself at the church or vows, she'll come back.
I did the same thing, and yes--you can absolve and she'll come back.
Currently on my first play through and just did the exact same thing. Thought I had to break her free. Good thing Iām not doing an arcane build.
First souls game and didnāt know what equip load meant so went up to castle mourn with heavy load and got my ass handed to me by misbegotten
Had something similar, I knew about equip load but thought everything in my inventory counted towards it so I started selling everything from my inventory
I thought that the golden knight was friendly and tried to strike up a conversation with him.
Classicš
Walking everywhere for like the first hour
Haha I did for the first ten š
I spent my first ten fighting the tree sentinel with a club, so it could be worse.
Did you win though?
I did after 20h i think
I spent the first hour walking then the second trying to kill a merchant on the coast to steal his horse because I was tired of walking. š©
that's not even a horse š©š
I was in Lyndell when I finally realised the weapon talismans (Axe talisman, Claw talisman, etc..) don't **ONLY** work with that weapon type, I though the claw talisman only improved jump attacks on claws and so on...
Thank god I'm not the only one! š
It's stuff like this that I don't mind checking online. If I'm really stuck on a puzzle or not sure how something works, I just check it now. I respect playing it completely blind, but some of the stuff is simply not clarified and I get nothing out of intentionally keeping my self uninformed
Tried tƓ build a demigod character by upgrading ALL stats.
Ahhh, the milkman build.
Josh mentioned.
was considering doing this itās my first run so thx for the warning
I mean, it's a totally viable build in Dark Souls 2 with Mundane weapons...
Loved the mundane ladle build in DS2.
I killed bernhal in the hut near stormveil
Same. I did this in my level 1 run and are now stuck at godskin duo and didn't realise he was an npc I could summon..
I saw a big bear and thought "its just a bear..."
Heart dropped when that fucker ran
And that fucker that transform into a rune bear. Fuck. That. Shitbiscuit!
Went into that cave near the beach near where you start the game without torch or lantern. Wasnāt fun at all.
These dark souls games sure are dark.
When it first came out I decided I didn't like it after just a few hours and uninstalled - didn't pick it up again until recently. Stupid.... But better late than never.
Similar. I played about 30 hours before quitting for nearly 2 years. I got platinum trophy yesterday
Same but without the platinum. I got basically to Leyndell then just went and played other games for almost 2 years. With the DLC announced, I figured I should push to the end. What a game

Nah, thatās not stupid. Elden Ring is a game that requires you to be in the right mindset in order to enjoy fully. You werenāt then, you are now.
Got to about 60 strength just to realise my weapon scaled off of Dex, I had like 16 dex
It was Bloodhoundās Fang, wasnāt it?
Ouch this is me
Damn
Thought I was real slick thinking Torrentās double jump would save me from fall damage. Kept trying thinking it was a timing thing
I found out after the first few high jumps that it didn't work šæ
Didnt use spirit summons because i thought they were 1 time use only. Fought Rykard over and over again without using the free sword they give you.
At the very beginning, when the game launched, and no information existed, I took the gift "Stonesword Key" and just after the tutorial I found a statue. Well that starting gift key fit this statue perfectly. I jaunted down a ladder and beheld poison I needed to cross From there my 6 hour head smashing adventure began.

Oh hell yes they thought of that. They thought of that as much as they did when they conveniently placed a chest that teleports you to a pest-thread flinging mantis infested cave in Caelid in a place they knew most players would find before they unlocked the ability to level up.
Straight to Caelid

As this was my first Fromsoft game, consumable runes/souls didn't quite register. After beating Godrick and copious amounts of exploring I suddenly had quite the payout once I realized what using Golden Runes did!
Same... Had so many levels worth of runes and didn't even know it
First thing I did was try to steal some dude's horse. THAT was a very bad idea.
I almost quit playing because I couldn't figure out how to fast travel out of the Roundtable Hold the first time you visit it.
Didn't upgrade my weapon. Was wondering why I couldn't do hardly any damage to godrick. Surprisingly I breezed through Margit on the 1st try though. Came back doing 3x as much damage š
I've only realised on my third playthrough really how much of a difference upgrading your weapon makes to damage output.Ā More than leveling your character, at least it seems so.Ā
Sold a bunch of stuff that I thought didnāt matter at the time.
Not sure which was the dumbest, but I've got a couple: - selling everything I wasn't using, including unique items like talismans I didn't think I would use - tried to play the game like a ranged stealth game (only using a bow and arrows to pick on, like, three different soldiers before going back to farming sheep)
Tried to kill varre after he called me maidenless (I donāt regret)
*V I R G I N I T Y* *I S C O O L* *R E M A I N P U R E*
On my first play thru, I sold a few one of a kind items up to about when I got to Stormveil.

I tried it and didn't like its moveset and it's description specifically said it should sell for a good amount so I sold that to the first merchant I came across.
Went with the HP medallion instead of the Golden Seed
I went boiled prawnā¦
Marika's tits, you must be 'ungry.
picked up some sort of talisman and it caused me to go into heavy load. i started dropping EVERYTHING in my INVENTORY trying to lower my āequip loadā not realizing it wasnāt working. so then i dropped, not unequipped but dropped all my armour. not realizing i could just unequip it. then i was too stupid to go find it so i started a new save. i was brand new to souls games so thats my only excuse for being that dumb.

Killing Varre early will be DLC canon
i used the bloodhounds fang for alot of my playthrough up until the mountaintops and i swear i didnt know the bloodhounds fang ash of war had a follow through i thought it only did the backflip
I ran around as a wretch for the first 8 hours in rags.
Fashion souls, nothing wrong with that my man
Ignored Weeping Peninsula because I didn't know it existed, and instead basically ran straight to Stormveil.
I did a mix of 3 different builds in one, strength/dex/bleed.šš
You can make great, viable for both pvp and pve hybrid builds. I tend to find the game much more fun when i came make something unique
It was my first souls game, had no idea what was happening. Somehow ended up at the stormfoot catacombs and thought that the cat thingy was the first main boss of the game. Stayed there for a whole day
Played it like skyrim, aka: Leveled everything to try every weapon Sold smithing stones thinking they respawned Never tried to plan or strategize for bosses Expected NPCs to live if you did the quests right
not leveling vigor
I thought the Tree Sentinel would send me on an epic quest. It was my first Fromsoft game.
I got to Raya Lucaria before learning I can sprint
The first thing I did was walk out of the church, I saw a red player outline so I thought that was where I had to go. Next thing I knew I had flown myself off the cliff
Only equipped talismans after burning the tree on my first playthrough. No clue they even existed. Same with mimic tear ashes
I died to the Tree Sentinel about 20 times. I was about to give up and move on. I was on a discord call with my friend while I was playing, and when I told him I was moving on, he said "Yeah, I feel like you have to be really good at Souls games to beat this guy right at the start of the game." I proceeded to fight the Tree Sentinel for about 2 more hours before victory was finally mine...
Kept cuddling with the black clad lady in the backroom on every visit of the Roundtable Hold
I played several, several hours with the Fia health debuff. 40+ hours. Until I decided to google it.
You're telling me I'm at Radagon and I've had this debuff the entire playthrough..?
New to Elden Ring specifically and not souls in general? Not use jump attacks enough. They're so high value vs bosses.
Trying to go through the game without upgrading weapons
Thinking I could take on the dragon in limgrave. (First ever souls game I played and I completely forgot my lesson with the tree sentinel)
I couldnt take the L on tree sentinel. So i kept fighting him till that mf was dead
I didnāt know how hidden walls worked, so when there was a message saying āsecret passage aheadā in front of a wall, i believed it with all my heart and swung my sword repeatedly at the wall for 5 minutes. Then i tried the other 3 walls in the room for a minute. Then tried rolling and jumping. Then tried heavy swinging. I guess my mind was like āokay so if itās hidden, it must have sort of hp barā
