So I was wrong about the amount of runes the dragon drops (I didn't notice it gives you 25k more shortly after its death). This means you get 75k default..so with the Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot that should be upwards of 97.5k..and there's also a "Gold Scarab" talisman you can get that can boosts rune acquisition even more (thanks to Landon Cube for posting this below):

"You can get it by following the top trail from limgrave leading into caelid. Follow it until you get up to the birdsviewscope then follow the fire wall upwards till you get to the valley. Drop down the branches and there's an easy boss that gives you the gold medallion"

I went into this game with a "No Guides" mentality. After 6 hours and no progress I graciously accepted my limitations.

“You can kill Bernal if you want his armor, but…”

Scene transition to wearing his armor.

The dragon doesn’t ruin any quest lines, it is actually just an optional puzzle boss! You are supposed to kill the baby dragons near it to lower its health, but you can just cheese it with bleed damage.

I think my favorite part of this guide is that the front end gives off big heist movie energy. There’s several tiny steps that end up paying out huge dividends, you’re specifically working smarter and not harder, there’s a lot of moving quickly instead of getting bogged down with fights, etc. Even if this weren’t the most informative guide I’ve seen online it would make up for it by being endlessly entertaining for that choice of tone alone :)

A neat thing about learning dragon communion incantations: if you learn enough of them, your eyes become slit and glow golden, like a dragon's.

8:41 "these guys are easy to kill"
"they will one shot you"
classic souls game

[mayatung]

the dots on the map showing where you're heading are incredibly helpful. that along with the footage makes it very easy to follow along

[SkyzrOfficial]

i absolutely love how this video is set in "chapters" and very well laid out with the path you took, and the amount of detail you put into each step.

[zantanzuken]

something else that should be added to this: on the western side of the liurnia lake is a downed caravan surrounded by red jellyfish, in that wrecked caravan is the jellyfish shield that not only has a attack buff, but is a greatshield that has a lower stat requirement than any other greatshield, yet still has the greatshield ability to bounce off most attacks that hit it. its also a 100% phys block shield.

[KingGlizz]

Im still here exploring Limgrave and we got Vaati here already making early builds that will turn demigods to ash 😭

[Dreadboy]

Finally deep enough into the game where I can watch elden ring videos without fearing spoilers, love your videos vaati! Can't wait for more lore videos about bosses etc

At 9:46 when you kill the big dragon (as soon as you see it twitch), rush on horseback immediately to the nearby grace and rest there. You still get the runes (sans the hearts), BUT the dragon will respawn, allowing you to kill it again for 50k runes.

90+ hrs in and still feels like honeymoon phase. This game is something else.

[swipingswiper]

This illustrates one of the absolute coolest things about Elden Ring for me; the overwhelming freedom to make a playthrough completely personal to the player. The only time I've felt this way about a From game was the way to tackle bosses in DS1, but ER takes it to an entirely new level.

Relating to this specific path itself, I'm way too far along to right now to do anything in the order specified. But if there are any new players who're just seeing this video for the first time, I'd highly recommend not following this guide 1:1 but use it more as a vague guide for now and forge your own path for your first playthrough. Experiment with broken shit all you want after, but as much as you can, follow your gut the first time around is something I'd highly recommend.

Huge hint you forgot to mention. In chapter 3, you mention killing a dragon (9:13) in Northeastern Cailid, but *you can farm him indefinitely if u follow these steps* . So first, make sure to grab the Fort Faroth grace, which should be by his tail. Go to the point on the dragon's tail closest to this grace. Keep hitting him with bloodloss weapons until he is almost dead, then mount torrent to finish him off. He is stationary until he dies and will begin to move. The second his death animation begins (he will begin to move), sprint on torrent (make sure to save some stamina when attacking) back to the grace, dismount, and rest at the grace. You have roughly 10 seconds for the animation to complete. You will get 50, 000 runes and the dragon will still be there after you leave the grace for repeated farming!

Why I love this channel is the amazing information that makes this game so much more enjoyable and saves so much time. I’m a 41 Year old father three and I really don’t have time to play Elden Ring but because of videos like this I actually can. Thank you brother

[boeflex]

You can kill the dragon multiple times in Co-op. Just did this with my friend, I summoned him first and we killed the dragon in my world got our runes. He summoned me, repeat, ended with ~189k runes. Have fun!

[ChernobylComedyAndWings]

there is a blacksmith on the left side of the map in Liurnia Lake that sells sombering stones 1, 2, infinitely and he also has three 3, 4 sombering stones. The Waypoint is called Road To The Manor. also hoarfrost stomp is further ahead of this blacksmith and is pretty damn OP weapon art.

Just started elden ring a couple weeks ago and have been avoiding videos and spoilers like the plague, glad to finally be able to hear the golden voiced lore master again, as always, outstanding video Vaati!!!
