Elden Ring Tutorial Guide - BEST Gameplay & Combat Tips For Elden Ring New & Returning Players 

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 1 - Invincibility Frames

All probably know Elden Ring Dodge rolling gives you invincibility frames more commonly known as iframes, however mounting and dismounting torrent also gives you invincibility frames,  actually even more than Dodge rolling, especially out in the open world where you can use torrent whilst fighting Elden Ring bosses, this ability is very useful, particularly with some of the harder dragons, as you can mount and Dismount torrent through quite a few of their attacks, get used to doing this and fights will become even easier before.

Raid Shadow Legends, run this Channel with all the Integrity in the world, actually enjoy the game, and the reason for this collaboration is to tell you all about a load of new additions.

Firstly let's take a look at the Elden Ring brand new faction, the Sylvan watches to climb the high jungles of the Mist wood is to climb into your own grave, if the beasts don't kill you, the Sylvan surely will love this faction. They're very akin to Forest elves or wood elves and just quickly take a look at Heroes, you have this absolutely mammoth big boy who is one of the best tanks in the game, all of his abilities are about applying Buffs to your team, and are playing debuffs to the enemy team, and you can see that in action here with King galkabar and one of the strongest attacks in the game vitriolic Thorns which is all about removing all Buffs from enemies and making sure they stay unbuffed, and finally you have this absolute badass, he is entirely Elden Ring DPS focused and insanely strong when maxed out the next thing. 

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 2 - Got torches

The Elden Ring primary torch, the Elden Ring Sentry torch can be purchased at the hermit Merchants Shack in the Langdale outskirts,  you don't need to have this torture quit, you don't even need to have it in your off-hand, it can just be sat on your back whilst, you have two other Elden Ring weapons equipped and its effect will still apply and that effect is very powerful, it will reveal enemies that are normally invisible, you don't even need to meet its stat requirements to be able to do this,  there are a few points in the game where you'll come across these invisible enemies, the most painful of which is Ordina's ever jail alongside this.

It will also reveal Elden Ring enemy players who use the concealing Veil Talisman but does not reveal invisible teardrop scarabs, this torch is insanely powerful and definitely worth grabbing, especially for the later areas in the game, you also have other torches with similarly cool effects, though admittedly none of them are as powerful as, this one you have the Beast repellent torch that will quite literally do exactly what it says beasts will not attack you whilst, you have this equipped the more powerful ones, such as the Khalid dogs will Brave up and start to fight you eventually, it definitely gives you a head start in all fights against beasts.

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 3 - Shackles

There are two Elden Ring shackles in the game markets and moogs, Margaret's shackle can be used against Margaret and Morgot and moogs, obviously against Moog and their primary use is that twice per fight, they will bind the boss to the floor stunning them and stopping them from acting for a few seconds.

This tip is about more importantly either of these shackles has the same secondary use, and it is amazing, they can be used to dispel nearby illusionary walls and floors and also forget certain dungeon traps into shifting their state, such as the fire pillars and the frost pillar traps scattered around various Dungeons and graves in certain dungeons, such as the orisa hero's grave, it can completely trivialize the puzzle inside and allow you to collide the Chariots almost instantly as for where to grab them.

Margaret's shackle, because it's very easy, just head to mug water cave in Lim grave and purchase it from patches, once you have defeated him and restrained yourself from killing him, do not sleep on these shackles in dungeons forgetting about how damn powerful, they are and how easy they can make really tough areas of the game.

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 4 - Mrs Binky Bonk and the great Stars

Mrs Binky Bonk and the great Stars, the great stars is an insanely awesome unique weapon that will restore a small amount of Health on every hit and as of a few patches ago, you can actually acquire two of them in one play through now both of which are in the Altus Plateau one is on this Carriage traveling on the road Southwest of the road of iniquity side path site of grace, and the other one is dropped by Magnus the Beast claw upon defeat and what is even better about the Health Restoration that the great star's passive buff gives you is that this can be combined with certain weapon Arts, so if you combine this with an ash of war that hits multiple times, such as the waves of Darkness or even better golden land, you will start to restore insane amounts of Health just by using these Elden Ring weapons, you basically become a lifesteal tank which is just amazing, and is one of the many reasons that this may well be the character that takes into the DLC,  she is just so ridiculously powerful.

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 5 - The pouch

Do not sleep on the pouch, the pouch is amazing, it gives you quick and easy access to four Elden Ring items, but then don't need to clog up your other item slots obviously use this in whatever way you want but personally, always have four Elden Ring items on that that are never gonna go anywhere else that is both HP and FP flasks, a flask of wondrous physic and torrent new players get into this habit.

Immediately if you've been playing the game for a while start using this and you will die, but stick with it, because it will drastically reduce the time that you spend frantically flicking through your shortcuts, after a few hours of practice, once it's embedded into your muscle memory, the pouch is such an amazing addition, and please do not forget about it.

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 6 - Experiment with your build

This tip is to not be afraid to experiment with your build, do not worry if you absolutely mess up your Elden Ring build an early game, because before long you'll come to the rail Lucario Academy, and once you defeat Ronalda as long as you have a larval tier in your invent country, she will allow you to respect and reallocate every single stat point, you have there are a total of 18 Marvel's hairs scattered across the land between and though some of them are quite hard to get hold of you will inevitably come across at least a few throughout your Journeys, so don't be afraid to use them, and it's for this reason that you hopefully won't feel the need to create new characters again.

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 7 - A spirit spring 

You can use them to Traverse up and down, as long as you are within the vicinity of the spring, its buff will apply to you, and you will take no fall damage making traversing up and down the land a literal Breeze.

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 8 - Tackle Crystal and rock enemies

To help you Tackle Crystal and rock enemies, you will notice especially if you're in the melee that almost all of your attacks, just bounce off them, however, that can be very easily fixed with one simple change to your Elden Ring playstyle just to hand your weapon, you will then be able to attack them as normal albeit doing much-reduced damage, so for the second half of this tip the deal with the damage reduction, make sure you're fighting them with Strike weapons or magic, and if you didn't know Elden Ring Strike weapons are anything like maces hammers or clubs, and as you can see, they will just melt and now that how to deal with Crystal and rock enemies.

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 9 - Tackle Birds

How can tackle Birds? There are two very effective ways to take down these enemies in Elden Ring, so combine tips nine and ten into one, because they apply to a few other enemies as well, firstly if you're going for a big heavy traditional night build with massive play armor a great shield and a massive sword, then your best friend is guard counters during first few playthroughs having come from Dark Souls, 

Utilized guard counters massively, and they are amazing, just holding your shield in front of the bird will stun them in their tracks, and then you can follow it up by knocking them to the floor and demolishing them and this technique can be applied to many enemies, so make sure if that's the kind of build, you're going with that you're practicing and utilizing guard counters and for the second half of this Elden Ring tip, the other really effective way to deal with them is any ashes of war or spells that can pull enemies towards you.

As it will knock Birds to the ground for this, you can use the alabaster Lord's pull which is the inherent weapon art of the alabaster Lord's sword, or another Ash of War, such as gravitas as, this can be applied to many weapons, now that you know how to effectively deal with most of the Annoying enemies in the game, look at a few more environmental gameplay tips.

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 10 - Falling 

Once you're very Adept at Elden Ring, most of your deaths will come from falling, and to deal with this, people have recommended dropping rainbow Stones off the side of cliffs, and if they smash you would die from the fall, however, if they land safely, then you all also can land safely but this requires you have a supply of rainbow Stones, 

 so teach you a much easier way to do this simply just keep using your standard attack at the edge of a cliff if it's safe to fall your  Elden Ring character will fall off if it isn't you will be stuck there.

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 11 - Defeat any enemies with glowing eyes

Always defeat any enemies you see with glowing eyes as these enemies are holding five times the amount of runes they usually do for lesser enemies in limb Grove this doesn't matter too much oh instead of 50 Elden Ring runes he drops 250 but later on in the game when you're seeing enemies that drop thousands of runes that vulgar militia in the Forbidden lands usually drops what five thousand if you see one with glowing eyes that's 25 000 rooms just waiting to be yours always keep an eye out for these enemies and even if you're just beelining it to your next objective.

Elden Ring Gameplay & Combat Tip 12 - Min-max your damage

If you're looking to min-max your damage, keep your eye out for weather effects because they will have a genuine impact on your gameplay most prominently if it is raining any lightning-based attack will deal bonus damage and any Firebase attack will deal reduced damage not that anyone needs to go this far or be this drastic, but in theory, you could have two builds, you could have a lightning build and a fire build and mix them up depending on the weather and also though much rarer, you will sometimes see Golden Leaves From the Earth tree covering the sky all around you and this will grant you a permanent bonus to your Rune game for the duration of this weather effect, so make the most out of it and make sure you don't rest and pass the time and skip out on this very rare event.
