Edit: To all the haters, Lobos can play however he wants. By the time you’re done watching this, he has probably beat all the dungeons he skipped at the beginning of the game.
Mergit seems way outta my league after beating the tree sentinel, I spent 10 hours exploring Limgrave, getting to the bottom of the map, there's an elevator that takes you down into a place I won't spoil, spent another hour down there, came back up, still couldn't beat mergit. He beats mergit and proceeds into the castle immediately. I love it, this game is completely buckwild and different from anything I've ever played. Utterly unique and I feel western devs are gonna attempt this for years and never attain it.
Love how you can just basically b-line it to the castle from the beginning kinda like bos, or clear out LImgrave and two islands like I did, then go to the castle
During the 'Tree Sentinel' fight I kept shouting "don't forget the jump attack!" (not that I knew to do it, but it was obvious to hit him rather than the horse)
*EDIT
10 minutes later Lobosjr: "I forgot about jumping" 😀
By being their 7 game I feel like they should have solved the "backstab almost every enemy in the game" problem. They can have the most singular design for every enemy but if I can kill them all in the same way….they feel like a new skin more than a new type.
I should have done strength build. The one fromsoft game where i decide my first playthrough will be dex and its way harder cause i cant stagger the bigger enemies that spam their weapon arts.w
Lobos will fight a Boss at a severe disadvantage instead of leaving, exploring the other 80% Limgrave and coming back later when he's meant to be there ahaha
Seems lobos noticed the same bug I did, the game has action queueing, so if you attack while in an animation you automatically attack after the animation. However changing stance is y + attack button, so if you try to change to dual wield or single handed in an animation it ignores that and locks you into an attack instead.
My favorite item so far is the assassin talisman that heals when you crit. Such a rewarding item for when you want to work your way through the castle 1 backstab at a time
Massive stuff including secret areas, large non-secret areas, multiple bosses, a secret boss, Epic path to Epic item with even more epic view and massive long hidden quest chain hidden in vague-like item description found in the secret basement zone you all missed just in Stormveil castle alone 😉 (not trying to be annoying or anything, It doesn't matter that much. I just wanted to let you know incase you want to eventually experience everything the game has to offer)
If you kill a certain regular looking lobster in that marsh area, a surprise secret boss will appear. Not even joking, it's worth it to kill everything once knowing stuff like this
Gonna put this on hold until I play a few more hours. I gotta beat margit first lol then I can continue exploring and upgrading until I feel comfortable trudging forward
I find it interesting that FromSoft chose to go with the healing item refilling at bonfire method. An open world with crafting materials everywhere seems like a shoe-in for the Demon's Souls/Bloodborne method.
Shame devs missed a chance to put mechanic in where Godrick grafts as a part of him you if you die in his battle. Then you would have to play as a part of him and try to make him lose a battle to someone to break free from him.
I was really hoping to see you take on the Tree Sentinel from atop your glorious STEED.
I wish I could beat this bosses s quick as you. You have like a souls sense lol. I was able to do a no death of ds3 hey still get my ass handed to me
Are you bored cause you seem bored of my the game already
So hard to watch you run past so much stuff
The open world will make lets plays of Elden Ring very different from each other.
i have this urge to play this game but alas, my pc cant run this XD
“What a god … rick” good one, Lobos

Lobos, idk if you ever figured it out. but the red box with down arrow means your max health is reduced.

I stomped Godrick on my second try with a great axe. Most bosses get staggered really easily with the heavier weapons.
Watching him not use the horse on the sentinel was infuriating but yet so entertaining 😂
Loving the playthrough. Just gotta be careful not to watch anything I haven't done yet so taking it slow

LOBOS USE THE GODDAMN THING
1:37:18 Fear not the cheese. And let the feast begin.

Bruuh people defeated this one with three flasks while they were just discovering the game i mean …

The only thing about this game that I don't like so far (from watching it) is the nearly constant Tornado Siren noise it keeps making.
Its really interesting to see Lobos play the game in a classic souls way and seeing how it works against him in certain situations.
Torrent starts with a T
Tree Sentinel starts with a T
Thomas the Spectral Engine starts with a T, so I prophesize.
I have a feeling I will be right.
'Fingers but hole' made me laugh far more than it should have

You have some of the best guides for this game out there right now, thanks for your work!
Gee I wonder why you're missing a whole tier of upgrade materials, maybe because you skipped the entire first area.

Godrick is hard af. Ive platinumed Dark Souls, ds3, Bloodborne and Sekiro and im struggling so bad on Godrick

You can actually parry not just guard counter btw
I think you need to have parry on your shield

Im here(2:23:05) Lobos like you asked, took me a bit to find the boss battle across your videos. Lol
I beat Margit with a lvl 1 straight sword and went into the castle and when i saw the dragon head arm and i was like… yeah i need to farm now. XD
That tunnel filled with materials you mentioned on stream to upgrade weapons will help a bunch. Thank you!
It took me 30 hours to find a way into the academy and lobos just teleported straight there after godrick lmao

YO I was having a rip when you found that crystal bud n asked if you could smoke it XD fucked me up LOL
That guy with the Blue soul mass baseballs has quite the arm
