You can actually get both weapons from the remembrance. All you’ll have to do is find the turtle bell with the mausoleum on its back, bring it down by hitting the white skulls either on its legs or on its back. Once it’s down, go inside and duplicate the remembrance and you’ll be able to purchase both weapons at the roundtable.

7:00 The default Ash of War is not gone when you replace it.

All you have to do is use the Ash of War you replaced it with on another weapon and it will remove it (so as to put onto the other weapon). The game then grants you back the weapon's default Ash of War (for eg. Unsheathe for Uchigatana) so there is nothing lost.

There is no consequence if the champion npc's die at the boss battles, they still appear and reward you at the roundtable hold. Also they can help you farm the area before fighting the boss if you take them with you for farming around their summon sign. I used this in particular to help speed up farming items sets that I wanted.

You dont need to defeat margit in order for rodrika to go to the round table, you can go around the castle and down the cliffside in order to unlock the grace early as hell. I did this on accident but theres a broken bridge beneath the castle, follow the path to the wolves (i suggest avoiding them they are insanely strong early on) and just after them look down the cliffside, theres messages that will guide your descent. Once you get to the site of grace marika will take you to the round table and you can do this at any point in the story. 😬

The no SKill shield art is good if you use shield but don't care about any shield arts, it will allow you to use your right hand weapon art without having to two hand. Blood slash and unsheathing without having to two hand a weapon is clutch!

[afrosamurai]

Biggest mistake I see a lot of people doing is investing in your damage stat of choice too early, when you first change an ash of war on a weapon the base dmg goes down and you rely on the scaling to overcome and surpass that deficit. The thing is weapon scaling starts off pretty terrible and it's not until around B scaling that your weapon will be on par with what its base would be. Usually around weapon tier 4-5 on regular upgraded weapons 3-4 on somber. Other than stat prerequisites to use the weapon you are much better off investing in your core first. Vigor and Stamina and Mind if a mage or otherwise heavily fp dependent.

Then start leveling your corresponding dmg stat as your weapon starts hitting its stride where you can then change the ash of war towards the scaling you want.

A little tip, you can double every Remembrance by bringing it to a walking mausoleum.
Just hit the glowing stones at it's legs until it falls down. You can do one Remembrance per mausoleum.

[Raejin]

If you go to the Deathtouched Catacombs, the boss drops a talisman that gives health for critical attacks. It's not a ton of health, but early on before you get better gear, it helps with being aggressive since you can often recover the health you might lose trading hits.

[jjkthebest]

On the other hand, playing overly aggressive can often get you killed. Especially against enemies that you can't interrupt easily. Experiment. Don't stick to one playstyle if it isn't right for your current fight.

[meticulousCheese]

An important note, getting the ash items doesn't allow you to summon the spirits by themselves. You also require a 'Spirit Calling Bell' which you get by returning to the Church of Elleh at night(?) after getting the horse. Speak to the lady sitting on the north wall of the church.
Using ashes of any kind is a HUGE benefit introduced in Elden Ring for solo players. They can only be used if you are not summoning other players, but ash summons do not increase the HP of a boss like gold phantoms do.

[rickrock]

If you put a ash of War on a weapon you don't lose its previous one. you are able to remove it, just go back in like you're going to add another one and there's an option to remove the current one.

[pacmanxm]

Idk if someone already said this but you can get rodreika (upgrade summons girl) to go to round table hold before margit. You can also go back to the shack she was in originally for a golden seed.

[justjuniorjaw]

There's a side path if you want to avoid Margit early on and move on and unlock some stuff first (You don't have to Defeat Margit to get Ashes upgrades). Don't worry about NPC summons dying, they'll still be around (2 characters in Round Table confirmed). Uchigatana's Unsheath is a basic Ashes you can find early on, and "replacing" it doesn't hurt it. You can always give it back Unsheath, for free. Just pick your enchanted Uchigatana, select the Ashes of War you placed on it and select "Undo Enchantment". For the 3 turtle, if you can't find the 3rd turtle check the trees.

[Andrumen]

Another tip, use mounted combat extensively to be able to ride away from difficult situations (specially for bosses that allow it). For example, Minor Erdtrees are easier on horse and enemies that overpower you in Liurnia East can be defeated using this method. Also, try going to the Siofra River early on after defeating Godrick, many useful items and a way around to Cairn are there.

[higorbotelho]

"Being too cocky and running straight into Margit" that was exactly my first mistake and what made me come search for help on understanding the game better. For some reason i thought i had to defeat it and i just sucked because i couldn't even get past the first boss

[tjandersen]

Remember to visit the Churches to upgrade your Flask potential. Make or break when it comes to using one or two.

[MrCwilson]

FYI to use the power of a great rune you have to use a rune arc that will give you the buff of the great tune till u die For example Godrich’s gives you +5 to each one of your stats when you use it

[bowenreid]

U dont have to defeat margit to unlock the ability to upgrade the jellyfish!!! All u have to do is speak with the girl and unlock the round table location and u can get that done right away it was the first thing i did!

[summerkaymike]

The Summons depends on who your fighting, if your fighting a boss with minions the Wolves are usually more helpful to take aggro from the minions.
If the boss is just one tough mofo then the jellyfish is definitely worth considering as it can tank for you.

Also you can duplicate the boss rune's and get both boss weapons, take down the massive turtle things and inside you can duplicate the boss rune.

the reanimated militiamen are incredibly powerful, they keep coming back to life as long as they dont get hit when they're dead. SUPER useful on many aggressive bosses
