Elden Ring Location Guide for dummies: Basics & Tips for EVERYTHING You Need to Know - PS5 GAMEPLAY

When we published a beginners tips guide to #EldenRing we didn’t realise that for many new players, our tips weren’t beginner enough. So, we made Elden Ring for Dummies - an in-depth Elden Ring explainer covering attributes, levelling, weapon scaling, equip loads and more. Then we made an Elden Ring Combat For Dummies video, covering the basics of fighting. NOW, we're diving back into the Lands Between and offering tips on location progression - where should you go when you're feeling stuck? Is there a preferable order to tackle bosses in? Let Aoife Wilson be your helper and guide once again, and do let us know if you have any further questions in the comments! #Eurogamer #EldenRingforDummies

My theory of where to go next in Elden Ring? GET LOST!!! No, literally! If you haven't been there, you're missing out on something! Thanks again gang!

[alanvillarreal]

These guides are great. Never played a Souls game before, so this is super helpful.

Huge tip i wish I knew when starting is using your MARKERS on the map (not the beacon waypoints). Open your map and press X (Xbox)/Square (PS) to open your markers menu. There are several different icons you can use to mark areas on your map you havent explored yet, to indicate loot, bosses, dungeons, etc and want to come back to, unlike the beacons you can place up to 100 of these down at any time and they don't disappear when you arrive at it once like the beacons do. Think of it like this, beacons (blue spire of light) are short term navigational aid and markers are long term exploration.

This is my first fromsoft game. What an awesome game. I initially got annoyed at dying and very quickly realized it didn’t matter, as I was getting better and the better I got the more I enjoyed it - a vicious cycle 😂 still early in the game… but damn… love the environment, the enemies, the lack of clarity of what the hell is going on (keeps you guessing!). Thanks for the game Fromsoft!

You do not have to defeat goldrick to access liurnia of the lakes. There's a detour you can take on your way up to the main castle gate that goes around the castle.

Oh my gosh. Thank you for this video. This is my first From Software game and I have been playing Elden Ring for a while now. After watching your video, I’m realizing I probably missed a lot of stuff in the beginning of the game that would really help me later on. Thank you so much for this video.

[davidbailey]

Have to say, one of the best channels for Elden Ring right now. No clickbait bs, just straight to the point great advice.

[dimitrisbam]

I like the fact that you don't spoil bosses and stuff as much as you can

[AssazinJamz]

This was so helpful. First time playing and have log in so much time but found very useful info! Thanks Eurogamer folks!

[btchplease]

The merchants(and all living npcs) have an icon in the map since the recent update.

[thaddeusdudley]

Extremely helpful, I did a lot of exploring across the map and was confused on where I should have started. This pointed me in the right direction!

[bunkkidchris]

I'm just getting into the game and this was such an incredible video. Super informative without any major spoilers, just enough details to keep you intrigued

[TheCgOrion]

This was fantastic. Thank you. I did things a bit out of order, but because of your video, I found I was completely missing an area I should have went to early on.

[Andy_Quest]

Loving these videos, they’re so good! Thank you for doing them! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
One question.. how do you figure out enemy resistances/vulnerabilities? Is it just a case of using each type and seeing which is more/less effective?

[markclifford]

I personally am bad at finding/remembering where I found NPC's, the new character markers on the map will certainly help me but I still think i am missing a lot of NPC quests, I would personally greatly appreciate a dummies video on how to make friends in Elden Ring, thanks for all the great advice!

[jeremybaynham]

Very great guide that gave some direction on how to progress. I could listen to you say power and tower all day.

[migyman]

This is legit the best beginner guide I’ve seen on YouTube so far

[Mac-vhzv]

These guides are amazing and invaluable. Thank you

[stevenclack]

This guide made me a subscriber. Thank you very much!

[MrBosor]

Excellent guide. Great info, minimum spoilers. Well done!
