*under an hour* as he proceeds to speed everything up so fast that it takes me 4 :D Love this guide! Learned a lot and thank you for helping me get back into the swing of things!

At the 20 minute mark, where you kill the Night's Rider, there is a Rise there with a really easy to grab memory stone. Not sure why you ran right past it. Another thing I would suggest is grabbing Night Comet and the Staff of Loss while in Sellia. The spell Night Comet is behind the barrier that you opened when you lit the three flames. So you already did the work to get it, I would 100% grab it. And you literally walked past the Staff of Loss without picking it up. Why grab these two items? Because Night Comet is basically Comet but it is invisible... which means enemy AI won't dodge it. Night Comet is one of the most powerful spells in Elden Ring PVE. You can miss with Comet, as bosses and enemies will dodge it (resulting in DPS and mana loss). They won't dodge Night Comet, though. And why grab the Staff of Loss? Because it boosts the damage of Night Sorceries by 30%... which is huge. And you don't even have to upgrade the Staff of Loss. Just have it in your off hand while you cast with your main staff. Just having the Staff of Loss in your off hand will give you 30% more damage with Night Comet, a spell that pretty much never misses.

After doing all this, the next step would be to get a Moonveil Katana. Once you pull that off, the game is super easy mode. And you can get the Moonveil to +4 pretty easy by buying the stones from the Smith in the Lakes.

Really appreciate the guide brother. You explain it in full detail very well within an hour : ) New to elden, and with limited gaming hours after work this guide has been a great start to get my foot in the door and in the right direction, much appreciated. Chiseled away over a couple nights of post work decompression and straight nuclear as I gain a feel for Elden's mechanics. Suggestion/request (please do not take this as a complaint or nagging, way too many people take guides for granted and i'm not one that does) but maybe pause an extra second or two on the map pins... find myself double/triple/quadrupling back to pause the vid and place those pins on some of the segments. Very thankful of the help you've provided and just constructive criticism for you there is all : ) Keep on and game strong!

[madman]

I’ve always been scared of souls likes because I lack the skill to dodge and parry. In any game really. This video is making me want to finally buy Elden ring.

[McWarlord]

Couple things for the guide. 1) when you were in the weeping peninsula, you should have killed the beetle to get the poison mist spell. 2) use the wind tunnel to jump up into lenne's rise and get the memory stone. 3) get the village of albinauric's site of grace and medallion half when getting the trina's lillies since you are right there. 4) after getting somber smithing stone 6 in volcano manor, jump down and up the ladder. go to the end and jump onto the adjoining ledge. avoid the lizard dude and run into the building and get the site of grace. 5) either time you go to fort Haight, get the dectus medallion. 6) grab staff of loss after lighting first fire. Super good for night comet builds

Your path to get into volcano manor to get the somber smithing stone 7, I never took. I always dodge rolled through the lava. Didn't even know that path existed. Great info. My post isn't to criticize but just to add some helpful info of things to do while you are already at certain places. Simply because for the most part you are already there and it will be helpful later or because you won't be coming back there and If you look up an item and find out you could have already gotten it, it's kinda frustrating.

[DESHPLEASE]

that guy at the beginning gave me such a hard time - this is gonna be epic! can't wait to dive into this build!

[SafetyFooT]

One very common beginner mistake I’d love to see a YouTuber cover for all the new players coming in with the DLC: stop putting 1000 different things on the D pad with your flasks. Lol I literally put health and mana flasks down there. That’s it. You can put your physic in your pouch and access it by holding triangle. This will save you much-needed seconds to pop off an opportunistic heal during a Boss fight, instead of having to finger blast the D pad 1000 times to cycle to the right flask while a spastic boss is unloading on you with infinite stamina.

[cryptoimmortal]

This was by far the best walk-through for a build I have found. Very detailed and easy to follow. Definitely some spots that felt like they took ages(final battle) but in the end very satisfying. Will definitely be sharing this with my friends on ER. THANKS!!!!

[michaelahmed]

Managed to kill Godskin with no sleep (for those who dont want to use or ran out) and level 3 jelly (for those who want to save for other spirits). Here are my suggestions.

First, with a 2/7 flask setup, you can kill the guy outside with 3 charged comets and drink a flask. (You want him dead so you can summon jelly in middle lane without getting hit from behind).

Second, prebuff, enter room and summon jelly.

Three, you have enough mana for one shot, if he is walking, charge it. If he is running, fast fire. In both cases, get ready to dodge his orb.

Fourth, chug a mana flask and if things work out, the jelly will pull aggro. QUICKLY run around opposite so he is between you and jelly. Now, this is important: do not charge your shots. You got enough flask to kill him with rapid shots. Your goal is to hit him fast so he runs to you. Then the jelly will shoot his back and pull him off you. By doing this, you increase effective health of your summon.

Five, while he hits half health, hit him 3 more times then keep a pillar between you and him. If done correctly, he will boulder roll on it and get stuck. You can safely drink a flask if needed behind pillar while he dies slowly to poison.

Six, when roll ends, try to get him to aggro jelly again and repeat with fast shots. He may roll again so be ready. Remember, he will die slowly with poison so rolling is great for you if he is stuck.

If done correctly, he should die before your energy finishes. (Just don't miss like crazy).

[PaiThaiTeam]

Oh my gosh.. I want you to know I bought the game because of your guide, and followed it to a tee up to the Godskin fight. I really struggled but kept at it and kept at it but kept dying. I slowly started running out of sleep pots. I was down to my last two pots, and managed to kill him. Such an exhilarating moment, but I want you to know that I was fully prepared to start a new character and run through the whole thing again to get more lily’s which I think is a testament to your guide.

For anyone else struggling with the fight, what I did was enter right away and move to the right and use Golden vow (with the dagger) and my magick flask (like the guide suggests). However I did not cast my jellyfish, but stood behind the pillar and waited for him to come to me. Once he was almost to me, I either dodged or sprinted to the opposite end of the arena depending on what attack he used. Once I got to the altar area, I then cast my jellyfish in the middle of the carpet and ran behind a pillar on the left side. I found it is a lot easier to hit him down by the altar since you don’t have to worry about your comet hitting benches or candles, it’s a much more open area. I waited for the squid to take aggro and then cast one comet. I then used my FP flask to get to full, and then ran to the middle of the arena on the carpet so I was facing his back, and he was facing my squid (and the altar). I hit him with three comets, but it’s tricky because you don’t want to pull aggro after the second comet or else he will charge you. You want to hit him in the middle of his AOE slam which slows him down so you can get off the third comet. You also need to be close enough to be within range to hit him with a sleeping pot. After sleeping him, I would hit him with two fully charged comets (in the guide you said 3 but he always woke up after 2, I’m not sure if that’s because the jellyfish was also adding damage) and then tried to back off enough to hit him with a third and then sleep pot again. You really need to be able to chain sleep pots a lot quicker then I realized. What brings the run to an end immediately is if he does his rolling attack, so if he starts that just abandon the run and run it back.

Thank you again for such an awesome guide. I plan on finishing up now and then starting back at the beginning to run through quests. I really appreciate your time and energy!

[jankogo]

I have finished the game several times, but still find it enjoyable to watch this kinf d of content. Very well produced!

[harryshacks]

Can we have a follow up video, on how to make the build better?

[adam]

We do not deserve the content you put out ghost. I love everything you make. You are so helpful and freaking awesome.

[aboshahrazad]

Man, thank you

The amount of effort put into this video is incredible, memorizing the items' locations, Showing us the map of every place and everything, and giving us advice.

Thank you, definitely worth subscribing

[dondurham]

When you pick up Golden Vow, if you swing around those ruins and go SW, there is a GREAT place to farm Smoldering Butterflies. I suggest placing a marker there so you can easily return. I have farmed over 75 so I won't need to return soon. It's nice to know it's there. Now If I can find a good spot to pick up mushrooms for Fire Pots.

[fezza]

Out of interest, could you make a video on what this build looks like in endgame. Not necessarily a walkthrough but a final build. What stats to aim for, additional trinket upgrades and gear etc.

[CoFloCipher]

This is so incredibly well done. You have a talent for keeping up a good pace, not rambling, and being extremely thorough. All while remaining entertaining. Quickest sub ever! 👏

[ClintDillard-zu]

Hands down one of the best guides for Elden Ring!! Thank you! I am just finishing up this guide!

[jfelton]

You convinced me to buy this game. I bought it before i went to the gym so i left with it downloading. When i get back I'm going to follow your samurai build. Then start a new file save and do this one and then play through the game. I appreciate this so much. Games that are ridiculously difficult are annoying for me. It's not that i can't get goos i just don't have the patience to. I just want to go through the game i don't need to feel "accomplished" like some people i just want to go through the game. So thanks again.

[tlyon]

Best guide I've seen on this. Didn't get lost, confused or frustrated once. Hell of a job.
