Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - Information Thread, update (06/21): Fextralife guides posted


Recommended Posts

Explored the beach today and found my way to the island. Man do I love the wolves against bosses with adds. So uhhh what I found on the island kinda makes me really wanna go back to my faith guy lol

 

Anyone found the katana in the wild/store yet? I found the stance that the Samuri starts with so I wanna pair it up on my warrior.

Finally beat two bosses and one "boss" in the over world. Summoning the wolves helps but I did a good job backing off and dodging to beat the bosses. 

 

Now I'm continuing to explore and leveling up. I'm getting the hang of this game and I'm addicted. 

 

Question. How do you unlock more of the map? I think I got lucky and only opened the west part of the map. Where and what am I looking for to unlock the map?

 

I'm really enjoying this game more than I thought. It's extremely difficult but if you stay patient and explore things seem to work out.

You find map pieces throughout the world.

You need to find map posts. They are easily seen even with the fog still on your map. They look a bit like an obelisk one your map glowing ember red.

 

Edit: I guess you can only see them if you've been in that part of the map.

 

Also, Jesus....

Spoiler

The biggest Dragon I've ever saw. When I saw his subordinates I thought one of them was a boss, then I started seeing them everywhere, but the dragon in Dragonbarrow West is insane.

 

Every time I think something can't be topped, it gets topped in a big way.

A string of messages lighted my path up and down the elevator shaft in the mine, not entirely sure how much it helped (it kind of threw off my orientation), but at the very least it helped me noticed the jump to run to the boss, and beyond any utility it was just a stupidly fun example of the asynchronous multiplayer. What an incredible game.

If you see an enemy with glowing eyes, they give x5 Runes.  I killed a Troll last night dragging the carriage, and got 5k Runes and no idea how.  Now I know.  Keep an eye out.

Nice. I had no idea.

Those trolls were one of the first large enemies I beat out in the world. I was pretty proud of myself 😆

Got teleported to a crystal cave and shit got real. Total ass-reaming ensued.

 

Btw, the red-eyed enemies may be at night time?? I thought enemies get buffed at night and have red eyes then.

 

I bounced off Margit (sp?) last night finding him way too hard and realized how little I had actually explored and improved my character. Finding shit left and right now just wandering Limgrave and unlocking the map.

 

Also beat Tree Sentinal, what a dick.

This game does nothing to explain anything

It theoretically does but the item descriptions are even more confusing than Souls because there are more systems. So it feels like you get jargon referencing jargon and other jargon...none of which means anything to the player yet.

I kind of miss seeing Tree Sentinel strolling around the church now that he's gone, lol. 

Its cool that they disappear and are gone forever though.

PSA: pick up all those crafting materials all the time. You can sell them for $10 each. I just made a good amount for some leveling selling all the stuff I didn't need.

 

Same goes for weapons and other stuff you won't use. Sell it all.

 

I probably should do this. I don't really do anything fancy. I like the idea of using say frost vs a boss weak to it but unless the weapon has that damage I find the items of questionable value. Don't get me wrong they do help but the game can be so hard that you just end up wasting say fire damage items so I tend to do without.

This is what I do. I'm constantly picking up gold runes and trash armor. I store whatever im saving in the chest so I don't accidentally sell it, otherwise i sell tons of stuff I pick up. Usually when there is an item I want, ill sell stuff I have, and use the rest of my souls for leveling. Not that I buy a lot besides unique items and recipes.

 

I wonder if From Software has DLC planned? Not that I'll need it anytime soon.
