Let me know if you’d like to see more beginner’s guides or a different kind of Elden Ring video.

[gdedgar]

By far the best combat quick start guide on YouTube! Straightforward, detailed enough and very concise. Will be rewatching.

As someone who came back, needed this

[marksutherlandjr.]

started this game as a sorcerer, and I've never really played souls games, so this is ALL new to me, I have to say its HARD to get the hang of, but when it DOES GO MY WAY! Nothing feels better I swear! IDK how but I actually feel like a badass when I kill in this game!!

[Eva_Leon]

I play PC . I dont understand anything :(

[jetpropulsionlabrador]

Short, to the point, covers exactly what I was looking for - this is a great vid. Thanks!

[upnever]

Yo, I watched like 6 combat vids to find a good one for my mate who is starting out, and this is the vid I went with. Great work, comprehensive and right to the point.

Wow. I only wish I had found this guide when I first started playing ER. As a PC only gamer, having to deal with the Xbox gamepad and try to learn "combat" was overwhelming. There was no good guide that specifically mentioned the combos and specific buttons. THIS IS A GREAT GUIDE FOR NEWBS! Thank you!

[iamgates]

As a note: you can rebind buttons; i might recommend changing things to suit your tastes. I have personally rebound roll to L3 and crouch to B/O - this allows me to control the camera easier during encounters while also still sprinting around, and i also find it makes directional rolls more intuitive because you’re already choosing a roll direction with the same thumb. Fun game. I still have to git gud

[sklyf]

thank you so much for making this, i absolutely love this game and now i feel a lot more confident with my mechanics

[joshuaboyd-gnxf]

Wow I should have watched this video 15 game hours ago. I’ve watched several videos but none have explained these basic combat mechanics. I’ve been to Caelid, and discovered the whole lakes of liurna and weeping peninsula, and have barely beat any bosses, just been struggling the whole way. I didn’t even know these combat moves were in the game. Thank you for the tutorial! Now I just have to practice these and can finally go to storm vale castle

[Sbonte]

Never played any of there games before and I’ve found it confusing asf playing ER as my first. Thank you so much for an easy guide to follow.

[AnnyMus-rczh]

I had like a 9 month break from this game. This was a great recap for me to try remember all the combos. Thanks great vid!

[rorylesage]

An incredibly concise and useful video, I'll be showing this to anyone I know who wants to get into Elden ring 👍

Finally a clear guide on what to do when and esp. how (button-wise)!

[uglybandit]

Thank you so much, as a first time souls game player the combat was pretty hard to understand your video helped a lot 👍

[Shadow-yrdx]

I love this video so much cause i always struggled with blocking and weapon arts because i just started elden ring so thank you so much

[mattmcdonald]

This is helpful asl still!!! Finally got the game myself and still had trouble w reposts but got em now!!

My friends were always trying to get me doing them when I’d fight bosses on their game 😅💀

[-siranzalot-]
