My Elden Ring Redemption - FIRST TIME SOULS PLAYER [Part 1]

it's been a long time oh didn't think that I would ever re approach Elden Ring hello my name is Noctis and I am into the unknown no I'm not ready for this please stop why we're outdoors I feel like we're already this far wow die whoa never mind never mind never mind I take it back I don't really want the smoke okay that was a mistake on my part that was completely yeah oh this is bad oh this is really bad I regret that please leave me alone oh oh no okay okay we're going running away we don't ne

ed that in our lives we don't this is worse this is really worse this is bad oh what the fuck that's worse than worse okay I know please die oh my God are you kidding me that's what killed me I don't like that music oh I think he kills our friend whoa where did the mosquito come from why am I fighting a mosquito while they're having like some badass war oh my God all day hi my name is Noctis Nexus and welcome to episode 3 slash episode 1 of my Elden Ring playthrough new game alright so last time

I very much was struggling to even understand what the class's purpose was because some if I'm being honest I don't even remember what I selected it was I think it might have been this one which I couldn't I can't even pronounce since I made that video a year ago I have not Learned whether this is vagabond or vagabond which seems kind of like an issue I might do warrior cause like I feel like in games that I've played recently like I do very well with the uh the sword thing I know that one comm

ent that I was talking to said that astrologer was actually like a decent one to play because I think I had said that it wasn't a good one to play because I had heard that from someone so not entirely sure samurai they have swords and bows it looks like so I could be ranged should I do samurai I'm thinking samurai or warrior it's like two different swords obviously I don't know what this like actually translates to the samurai is look cool too you know let's do samurai purely because I'm going t

o assume that I can be seems to be the girly pops okay this is our person I'm gonna use my mouse for customizing Noctis Keepsake wait oh that felt final oh so this is the item that goes with me right I can increase my max HP that feels hopeful cause I sure was dying a whole lot spirits within three strange cracked pots that somehow men themselves a container for certain thrown item no oh no we don't want we don't we don't want enemies aggression it's okay we're fine honestly we're we're good we'

re chilling we're vibing it's okay we don't need that um this one enhance sacred flasks or sacred I wonder if sacred flasks are like healing stuff like potions cause then that I feel like would be more statistically helpful then the ladder let's do and but what if that's not what that is okay let's do let's do the the medallion let's just you know we're going simple can be a dragon I must have been a Night Folk last time I think I that's what I looked like loaner well that's kind of cool as like

a samurai or warrior let's just be warriors let's just let's just do that oh I was hoping there was more templates here oh no it says adjust face template how do I exit be oh it's also still doing controller this is confusing we're just gonna we're gonna use controller um honestly slay whoa okay hmm I appear to be 75 I don't know what any of this means there's so many things to customize let's just do hair let's just get the best hair ever it's a cool ponytail we love a braid oh we love the 2 b

raids too I feel so far a little more confident as I'm just customizing my character okay um those sure are some bright colors I am vengeance I am here to prove myself we can adjust face structure too feel like her nose doesn't look like my nose wanna like low key make this look as much like me as possible don't know how much I can do that whoa no didn't mean to do that that's fine I don't know if anybody else has done this but like whenever I played Skyrim and stuff I had to like go all the way

to one to the other to figure out which one I actually wanted cause I I didn't didn't understand the difference cause it's like what does nose position mean in this one cause like technically I'm moving her face around right like what's the difference got her nose protrusions but I wanted to change oh my God oh my God what she look like from the front oh I accidentally made her nose very long the proportions are kind of funny to adjust here cause like now her nose looks very in can we look happ

y sad happy sad happy we'll just be like half happy cause like we're also sad what is this oh okay it would help if I read whoa controller again this is probably gonna change a lot need to see both angles at once Wizard 1:01 could never her eyes look so sad whoa whoa there buddy oh there you go I was so focused I didn't realize what couldn't couldn't be seen what is the difference between lips and mouth I am confused can we give her like the most contour jawline known to mankind just kidding tha

t doesn't look good okay we got some slay hair let's run back through some options now that we we be slaying differently ah I feel like I'm gonna end up wearing hats anyway so it doesn't really matter tattoos though oh it's on my face in my eyeballs it's a cool like looking thing I love like a very light tattoo that doesn't make sense but also these colors are so vibrant mmm hmm I kind of like the way they had them actually oh I can change where it's at it doesn't have to be in the middle of my

forehead it's okay I can have an eye patch dude wait what has anyone like Beat Elden Ring blindfolded oh my God I'm a pirate now what does similar face mean set face similar to present face oh wait now it's giving me like more base options that are like the way I have her that's cool didn't notice that the first time I feel like this is more proportionate to the vibe we were going for let's do this one now she's super proportionate how do I continue oh okay slay we get sun but not too much sun i

t make me smaller small samurai oh nope didn't mean do that what does this mean swole it's okay you have to be small fry with buff arms I'm just kidding what if I what happens if I swole Eren Yeager okay save the favorites whatever that means oh there's my old person oh we use the same hair oh it's full circle oh voices how do I hear that yeah that's the one that's what I sound like when I die alright guys and so it begins allegedly I am ready I think I'm still so scared like I don't know what I

'm doing nothing has changed the fallen leaves tell a story the great scared me was shattered in our home across the fog the lands between that's beautiful no Queen Marika the eternal is nowhere to be found and in the night of the Black Knives Godwin the golden was first to perish soon maracas offspring demigods or claimed the shards of the Elden Ring I think I was so scared the first time that I didn't actually read the words to this the mad taint of their new found strength triggered the shatt

ering is dark a war from which no Lord arose it's really deep it's basically a war that no one a war leading to abandonment by the greater will oh rise now you tarnished you dead who yet live the call of long lost Grace speaks to us all this is so nerve wracking it's a cool ass lion shifting of the Badlands the ever brilliant Gold Mask Fear the Death Bed Companion the loathsome gang leader and circadian apnea they all know it whoa there wow and one other whom Grace would again bless a tarnished

of no renown oh is that me cross the fog to the lands between to stand before the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord we're really doing it this is so cool I love the gear that I started with that is stab button this is bow but oh fire that was cool though the path be broken and uncertain claim your place is Elden Lord we got a finger this is crazy though like that's that's a vibe oh somebody ran around are you ready this feels like I'm reading the comments of my first attempt oh that's just pe

ople dying chapel of anticipation all I feel right now is anticipation how do I get my sword back out oh that also fires oh I only have a I have to get arrows how do I can I use my wait whoa whoa break oh break door door no break okay okay let's we're gonna take a second cause I know I'm about to go through a tutorial but that doesn't make me any better at gamer time sometimes so what does this lovely note have to say that's sus okay well I can officially I can officially break things not that c

an't break that that's something I can't break all right whoa this is can I get it without the can I look at this can I just observe this the way it's meant to be observed the world stands before us and yet it all feels familiar I've had like nightmares and just casual dreams about this game since I played it try that bridge O bridge it's very interesting like there's little notes everywhere and it's so cool cause it feels like you're so connected to the rest of everybody that's experienced it b

efore you that's um from the cut scene I don't remember this at all what the hell did I somehow go somewhere else whoa lock on with something like this did I just die weapon hello why do I not remember that at all video game oh maybe that's how you get to the tutorial I literally blocked that out though like I don't remember that at all that was scary well we're dead oh no I lost the game Horsey oh maybe this time I can get off of you successfully that would be cool that's not a horse that is a

horse don't worry Torrent Fortune is on her side that is a person we found her here after all hello there one of her kind is sure to seek the Elden Ring yes surely the one that just got curb stomped by a beetle what is the golden order and why am I in violation of it are we going to up this now maybe the game gave me back my arrows that I lost lost just misplaced totally did not shoot them at the wall repeatedly trying to learn how game works we will beat this tutorial flask of gold crimson tear

s flask of Cerulean tears what a nice color blue that is whoa jump down the hole ahead and you will find the cave of knowledge there you can learn about game controls fantastic I will do that cause that's what you're supposed to do in the game I just wanna see this pretty tree though tree is this a person hello Dot Dot Dot Brave tarnished take the plunge of learning and remembrance probably like I've Learned any god remembrance recall the arts of war and your warriors blood that's what that prob

ably sounded like well I don't think I jumped oh great I took damage use item but you know come back come back tutorial why gone so soon so like I can't just hold up my shield just kidding wow so these are different stabs sword shield the the reason that I think this is gonna be good in comparison to the last one is I don't think I realized I even had a shield if I had one it was a rough time resting at sights of Grace will restore your HP FP and cleanse any status ailments it will also refill y

our sacred flasks however most of the enemies you defeated will be revived huh you can find sites of Grace by going where light converges these explanations are required in the form of info items and can be accessed from the inventory great okay so basically if I'm in an area for a reason don't use a sight of Grace cause then I have to kill everyone all over again which would be unfortunate is that a bad guy this is lock I locked on oh my God I got him for sure I I killed him behold I did it I l

ike that one applaud okay buddy old pal you're also deceased aha I'm already basically the elder Lord okay I'm already doing that so that's good oh it uses stamina I see can I see my stamina well I this is just hacking slash whoa l B or just B lock on oh I get it that didn't work try again oh I did it oh my gosh okay jumpies jumpies oh it's a guy in the sky don't shoot me in every corner of the lands between you'll find fruits and flowers and mushrooms and butterflies in various other useful mat

erials how nice that makes me happy am I not to fight that guy whoa watch out for my toes bro this guy has a shield oh each hand can be equipped with up to three armaments allowing you to toggle between them armaments can also be two handed making attacks more difficult to repel with Shields and boosting effective strength oh wait I was already doing that okay we don't want to wield with two hands we like our shield I'm scared how do I get him to break his shield oh Perry probably whoa I forgot

to lock on sorry I'm gonna try it aha what am I doing I didn't mean to do that wrong button that didn't work yes Perry is big come at me bro don't worry I have all day this is very scary so close it's okay oh look at me with the shield he's dead he's dead we got him wow that was a rush haha get that on you um wow okay we are eldening this ring that's for sure alright these guys we already know what's going on what about dead you want the smoke you got it I'm being shot at the audacity not even o

ver there bro I am not even a concern of yours yet first of all you're bad oh it wants me to do my bow and arrow lb for precision aiming okay okay hold on give me a second I need to equip my bow for a learning moment oh this is precision aiming papa papa how do I avoid shooting fire arrows oh shit it's like Fortnite I think I made him mad oh look at that hello my gosh I'm a freaking gamer okay this is cool maybe I should have been in samurai the first time skills left trigger wasn't well we sure

attempted that that is how do you run again well Crouch stand up oh so basically it's Assassin's Creed oh no what okay okay okay okay okay oh I should have just known this was Assassin's Creed the whole time this feels like another lesson to learn what you got for me some attacks may break an enemy's stance see that's what I was struggling with with the other shield guy hold RT or I can jump attack his ass what the ow ow it seems I may have misjudged oh I get it well I said I get this yeah okay

we need practice doing that one so so it's not at the same time it's jump then slash or charge slash okay I get it that's not a bad guy upon dying you'll be revived at the last site of Grace that you visited however if there is a stake of America near where you died you can choose to be revived there instead oh that's very nice traverse the mist oh am I in the I'm sorry what I don't remember this it's a whole different ball game now my heart is racing okay this is good this is how do I use a po

tion again do I need to use it whoa oh okay whoa equipment with the equipment menu you can equip our amendments arrows bolts armor talisman items you can equip up to 3 arm amendments it's your left and right hands the actions each are admit okay I get I think I understand that a little bit better this time can I use this how do I use it maybe this is how I use it with the inventory menu you can browse the items you're carrying drop them on the ground or throw them away you can also use tools fro

m the inventory menu okay use I am healed I feel like that went a lot better oh new strength do I hop down there oh should I talk to this guy again oh you're saying the same thing we already know that we've been there done that understood don't know what's like over there though need a freaking torch it's so dark I need to remember how to run cause I genuinely don't remember is it this way these 4 are my attack so it's not that think it was just hold b hold B okay got it I am on guard hey look o

ne of these things touch Grace I did it what is this incantation ahead should I go through that I don't think I can go through that it's an illusion used tarnished furled finger to write a gold summon sign cooperative multiplayer will begin once you have been summoned by a player of another world you will take the role of an ally and your objective is to defeat the area boss oh okay so that's like if you need help okay my friend had offered to do that but then I said no I have to do this for mys

elf well I can't try the lever because you put a note on it I'm just gonna stand here oh this is so nerve racking is that sunlight no break oh doesn't let you lock on the chest that's for sure alright guys here we go Grace exists to guide the tarnished and lead them among the proper path even now some sites of Grace retain that power their golden rays will guide you along the way use your map to check your current position as well as the terrain and surrounding structures you can update your map

with new information by finding map fragments at Stellas along the road you can also use the map to freely place beacons of light to serve as landmarks okay hello there may we meet again oh yes tarnished are we come to the lands between for the Elden ring hmm of course you have no shame in it unfortunately for you however you are maidenless without guidance without the strength of runes and without an invitation to the round table hold you are fated it seems to die in obscurity it's very unfort

unate for me so I feel like everything is just to defy like what fate has set out to you because like all of the odds are against you right like we're not one of the main people that were selected summoning pools you may find effigies of martyrs these effigies are summoning pools you'll find it easy to summon other players at these locations as co op and hostile summoning signs created with small effigies gathered okay okay we're not gonna do any of the multiplayer stuff unless it's like this ga

me is just beautiful open world concepts like open world games scare the fuck out of me I have to be honest put your little head up oh my God okay I really like having the bow although I guess I am I do need to be considerate of arrows huh yeah I do okay no more bow for silly things but maybe I needed this stuff you know like how do we know that I didn't the guy feels really close maybe he's not maybe he's just loud I wanna go this way looks more pleasant I don't know what this means oh okay oh

there's fast travel I didn't know that that's new oh there's some birds they're so pretty is there a path over there is that like an island but I think it's an island darn can we swim what if I go this way whoa okay no fall damage that there's little mushrooms what did they do that's not very explanatory is this just like a totally destroyed building oh maybe they jumped down there what a silly goose definitely was not trying to kill that bird okay I think we could probably just walk through the

water there no certainly a swim can I swim the answer is no okay well that sure was not on my list of things that I thought would kill me instantly this is rather unfortunate what the heck okay they really said nope you cannot do that nice try though I think I went over like this way and dropped down oh not here but further that way that was bonkers it was like instant to like I fell to my death underwater I'm just gonna blame it on my armor and say maybe I was just too heavy and they definitel

y incorporated a swimming mechanic in the game well at least now someone will see that for the rest of forever on their little screen things and they will know not to swim any of my stuff do I have anything like today I have runes I don't even know what a rune is can I see what rune well nope nope wrong button inventory oh good thing I got my runes back I have 600 something of those bad boys that's a camp is there a bad guy well that's a donkey are you friendly what do you need I don't want any

trouble oh it's okay I don't oh uh low key though can I get some of those I didn't know they were like well the only way then sales things I didn't know I was living in an economy goodness gracious what is that I'm having a hard time seeing like are these all bad guys oh they're all bad guys guys I think we're gonna do it you're sleeping you're dead you're sleeping forever no idea what that is but you're now dead whoa huh I vanquished an enemy group oh my God I did it tee Hee okay that looks lik

e a big old hell no is this a toy doll hi toy doll we can be friends no didn't mean to do that hi buddy bye buddy what the fuck is that there's plural why are there multiple that's plural Ew there's a baby one okay that's disgusting I think not can I climb apparently climbing is not a thing which is scary I really don't love the way those things move there's a whole lot of something over there what is that what is this am I supposed to run around it or am I supposed to like run with it okay on y

our Mark get set go it's faster than me oh I can't okay bye pretty pretty whimsical thingy someone who came before me had a horse now are you a friendly what is this what did you do wrong maybe they're just a friend oh they got dead on them real quick wanna be you're not a friend oh no I died we know I didn't ha ha I get it I get that I died oh I died I was still alive I still could have killed him that's insane I wanna go kill him vengeance I have to get my runes anyways now that we're gamers w

hy am I okay I must get my stuff my silly stuff can't just be dropping my runes and leaving them I worked so hard in the tutorial for those honestly oh what the hell Ew okay we can't pick a fight with anything because like I have to get my runes before I am really glad that I did not see that guy down there please don't kill me okay that's okay how do I use my I don't use my Shields from there or my I need to learn how to use those in combat I probably should have Learned how to do that right th

en well now I know why that person died down there cause now I'm the person that died down there fruit flower pretty flower for pretty samurai alright we we I have a very different energy going into this it's still freaking terrifying like if I if I lose to this guy I lose my runes I didn't even know what a rune was the first time I tried this and I literally it what's mind blowing to me is that's literally just cause I was not paying attention like the game taught me all of this we know what we

must do wow I see that was epic what did I just do wait I can level up I think is that what that means status I'm level 9 wait did I start at level 9 runes held runes needed but what does that mean ah if I have all the rooms needed to level up a cumulative figure that represents overall strength you can level up using runes total runes wait do I need 811 more that might be what it is eww oh I got a butterfly oh my that was dark so apparently I walked by a cave and didn't realize it we're gonna

go here I like the precision aiming thing that's really fun okay we're not gonna mess with that guy cause that guy is a stone cold killer I remember that very vividly I will never forget that and one day I will be back to best you oh what's in here shiny thing are you a friendly or a foe I hope I don't know hi Santa Claus can I speak to you you're tarnished I can see it possibly that you're not after my throat no then why not purchase a little something okay so sometimes these are merchants purv

eyor of fine goods Carly what a cool name about you I am of a nomadic people selling wares as I travel the land has been tainted by madness since the shattering of the Elden Ring it's only tarnished like yourself who keep things from drying up entirely let's say you're a very welcome customer oh he's got some armor you're such a cool guy this looks handy you know if you can spare the rooms you should buy yourself a crafting kit a crafting kit allows you to make basic items on your own essential

really if you intend to survive out here for any duration I would like to cost a bundle and I admit I do take my cut but the important thing is that you survive every customer counts that makes sense after all okay so we're just 300 he recommends it I'm glad you took my warning to heart you've made an excellent choice oh thank you Carly if you have a crafting kit you can make various items from the materials you find select item crafting from the main menu to make items oh you will need cracked

pots or other containers to craft certain items you will not be able to make more of those items than you have containers container items run out with use but the containers themselves will remain okay with the item crafting menu you can make various items okay so this is stuff I can make can I make a do I have to buy like a torch oh okay I don't wanna buy a torch you can get this thingy what does it say oh first we do this whoa that's awesome okay I didn't mean to rest it's okay what is this on

e oh that looks complicated I mean to do that seek night I'm okay I don't have a torch I'm okay with the daytime so basically everything wants to kill me so at least I know that like this guy he low key wants to kill me he just doesn't know it yet there's something here that's killable oh it's a bunny that's not a bunny that's a squirrel what the hell that's a big squirrel we're gonna use our sneak attack that we Learned die whoa whoa there swinging that thing around like that for dead thank you

bye bye what's that over there that looks like a little camp how do I Mark begin I'm gonna be a little rat and I'm gonna kill this guy dead locking on is incredibly helpful ooh like a throwing knife really nice gonna get our practice in I feel like the critical hit was right trigger not right back oh my oh I got a new sword but is it good let's see how we compare stuff so this is what I'm using Katana oh okay I see how to look at the stuff now so what I'm using is actually fine and it's lightwe

ight enough okay hmm I thought that boar was rushing me and I was a little concerned what the wow sneaky sneaky sneaky I found a cave we're going in the cave without a torch because I don't know any better yeah no I didn't mean to do that why do I always do that okay oh touch that Grace okay I don't know what that means made me do that is it the multiplayer thing no stop thing stop I don't want a person no line ahead what is this I don't know what that means perhaps I just need a torch before I

do anything cause like I guess I can come back right try defeating one by one oh these are doggies how would I defeat them one by one shoot them who's this but like if that doesn't do oh it's on me it's okay oh we're doing it now oh my God I did it and I'm like alive and like they didn't hit me my gosh okay I still don't have a light source well there's another whoa okay I literally cannot see that was so scary freaking jump scare alert okay I'm trying to auto target and I didn't see one praise
