First time souls-borne player here. I started the game out with the warrior class because I figured it would be the most well rounded, however, I did a little reading and found that the samurai and vagabond were supposedly good classes for people just starting out. Is it worth it to reset the little progress I have to start out with a different class that might be better?

I'm making my way through new game plus and thought I'd try collect some of the weapons and items I missed first time around. Warrior Jar Shard is one I'm not too proud of collecting.

Title. I'm mid/late game and decided I wanted to try out some new weapons that I've been sitting on. Had no idea this attribute buff was the case but just spent some time farming my Faith up so I could try the SONAF that's been in my inventory forever. I realized my vigor strength and dexterity jumped by 5 and was confused and now realized it's only when SONAF is equipped. And it seems to apply to other weapons equipped at the same time? Or at least the attributes stay in place even.

How can I beat take advantage of this. Is there something I'm missing? If it's basically like having half of another radagons soreseal when equipped, maybe I need to beef my strength/dex a bit so I can carry the SONAF as a buff to other weapons, too!

I had never played any FromSoftware title before i picked this game up on a buzz of recommendations from End of Year best game lists. I purposely didn't read any how-to or spoilers posts and dove in. No clue why but i went Bandit class. I had no idea what was going on and hung out looking at birds and beautiful scenery. I was weak and snuck around everywhere. Slowly i got used to the mechanics and progressed by just going everywhere i could. Only after dying countless times, making mistakes and wondering why I was levelling so slowly did i venture to the Reddit (now lemmy) EldenRing community. I steered away from obvious spoilers and gleaned a few tips and tricks (wish i had levelled vigor and not balanced stats out though i did concentrate on dex) However one thought kept returning. Perhaps I'm not very good at this game. Ive only just started hanging out in the Lake of Liurnia after going the Weeping Peninsula route and im 250+ hours in and only level 40 something. Im not complaining. I love this game. It fills me with a sense of wonder and satisfaction that I've rarely found consistently in other games. But i do have a nagging suspicion that perhaps i still have hundreds of hours of game learning to go amd that I'm still scrub. ( those peaky imps will always get me or a pack of wolves and I was overjoyed to finally beat the Tree Sentinel) Im still amazed how balanced and thoughtful this game is. How it teaches you as you go along by not making things easy but when you're ready you can progress. And i love to just wander about and see what's what. Sometimes hours just me and Torrent just cruising. What do you think? Am I under levelled for my hours. Does it matter? (I kinda think not) Is this usual for a first time FS player?

Recently, my girlfriend got interested in Elden Ring, and I'm trying to give her some advice. She doesn't have much experience in gaming, mostly chill games like Stardew Valley and such.

I'm afraid I'll scare her off if I monologue about i-frames, poise damage and parry windows, so: People whose first FromSoft experience was Elden Ring, what advice did you find actually usable for getting into the game?

This was on PS5, too. What fucking crazy-ass exploit was that? Every status bar procced at once and my HP just went straight to 0 without anything actually hitting me (didn't even play the hit animation or show the yellow in the HP bar).

I know it was an exploit or a cheat, since the fucker's name was "one shot" and that's exactly what the hell happened. The only animation his model ever did besides walking and rolling was pointing down.

I was just fucking around doing Varre's quest super quick, and was about to finger sever out as soon as I got in, but I was killed near instantly upon spawning in. I just wanna know what the hell happened because I didn't know there was currently a way to straight up cheat on PS5, so it has to be an exploit, right?

Morgott was one of the Demigods born of Godfrey, First Elden Lord, and Queen Marika. However, he and his brother Mohg were both cursed as Omens and hidden deep beneath Leyndell in the Shunning Grounds. When the Shattering occurred, his Demigod kin scattered to the winds, absconding with the fragments of the Elden Ring. Only he stood stalwart in Leyndell, repelling invading forces that sought the ancient city and the Elden Ring within the Erdtree's holy sanctum. For Morgott, cursed as he was, had unshaking faith, and a righteousness to hold firm against any adversity, whether by demigod or by ambitious tarnished.

The nomadic merchants once roamed widely in the Lands Between as the "Great Caravan." However, long ago, they were accused of Heresy. Their clan, far and wide, was rounded up and buried alive deep below the earth. In their terror and sorrow, they chanted a fateful curse of despair, one that conjured forth the Frenzied Flame. A prophesy self-fulfilled perhaps. Now, only those few merchants far flung and hidden away from the prying eyes of the Golden Order live on, day by day, doing what they have to to survive after the Shattering.

Miquella was cursed with eternal childhood. Perhaps immortality might be a boon for others, but it was a burden for the Empyrean. Perhaps thanks to his curse, however, Miquella learned well how to compel affection, and to lead others. His ambitions would lead him to look outside the Golden Order to cure his sister Malenia, and to found an Erdtree of his own, the Haligtree, where those outcast from the Order could find unity. Through the Haligtree, he would rebirth himself into a new body, circumventing his curse. But, alas, before his metamorphosis was complete, he was stolen away by Mohg, who sought to use his Empyrean blood to found a dynasty under the Formless Mother.

Malenia was born cursed as a vessel of the Scarlet Rot, a rotting plague that not even Golden Order Fundamentalism was unable to cure. Her brother, Miquella, sought a cure beyond the Order, while Malenia sought to serve her brother's ambitions. She learned swordsmanship from a blue-robed master, likely the same figure who had sealed the outer god of rot to begin with. And, in the end, she became one of the greatest warriors in the Lands Between, and only met her match with Radahn, which triggered her to "bloom" reducing Caelid into a wasteland and creating the Swamp of Aeonia. Then again at the Haligtree. And a third time in her fateful meeting with a wayward Tarnished.

Today we dive into The Lands Between with the Larcenous Trickster to test out critical hits, backstabs and piercing straight swords (pss). Watch as I try to remain hopeful for what is a mess of a patch. Everything is up in the air and somehow my Larcenous Trickster build has an easier time against gank scenarios now!?!

Renalla was one of the ancient Astrologers, and her prowess was so great that she founded a royal family, the Carians. She and the princesses of the Carians were famous for their sorcery, specifically cold and moon sorceries. With her Full Moon Sorcery, Renalla captivated the Raya Lucarian academy, and her and her family's power was so great that it could repel even the forces of the Erdtree. The stalemate was so resolute that peace could only be found through marriage between Renalla and Radagon. When Radagon returned to Leyndell to become the second Elden Lord, Renalla was left with the Amber Egg bearing the Rune of the Unborn, which she would hold so dear, to the detriment and eventual collapse of the Carians. Perhaps it was all a scheme to ruin the Carians, or perhaps it was just happenstance.

Miriel is known as the Pastor of Vows and is a canine of great honor, wisdom, and renown. In his role as Pastor, he brought the union of the Carian royalty and the hero Radagon to fruition and brought peace, however temporarily, to the Lands Between. After all, heresy is not native to the world; it is but a contrivance. All things can be conjoined. And, to that end, he teaches wayward tarnished both sorceries and incantations, as well as absolves them of sin. For those Tarnished are the ones who will bring the the Lands Between together, whether by the light of the Moon, by maddening inferno, by Omen curse, or otherwise. All things yearn to converge.

Hoarah Loux was a warrior unmatched, and would take Serosh upon his shoulder, to tame his bloodlust and rage, to bring himself a noble presence and name, Godfrey. Godfrey was the first Elden Lord who, in his role as consort to Queen Marika, brought the Fire Giants and their flaming god to heel. However, when he had finally succeeded, and the Fire Giants were crushed, the light in his eyes faded away. He lost the guidance of Grace and became the first Tarnished. He and the many others beside him were banished from the Lands Between only to one day return to reclaim the shattered Elden Ring millennia later.

Marika sought freedom from the chains of godhood that the Greater Will had placed upon her. She sought to lead the Tarnished to a different fate than that which had been placed upon them. And so, she set them off into the world, to wage war, to live, and to die, and to one day return by the mercy of grace and claim the Elden Ring for themselves when, many years later, she smashed the Elden Ring. She paid dearly for her act of defiance, both in her imprisonment and crucifixion, but also with the death of her first born son and the curses of her other four. But it would be Radagon who would meet the Tarnished within the Erdtree, who tried so desperately to repair the shattered remains of the Elden Ring, to maintain the Golden Order against the imminent flames, and not Marika who had guided them through grace. At least not at first.

Melina is associated as a so-called "Kindling Maiden," fated to burn the Erdtree and themselves of the sake of a new age, some believe. Melina, disembodied and cast away from her place of birth, sought a Tarnished who would return her to the foot of the Erdtree, Leyndell. She was well-readied to sacrifice herself. Should she be deprived of that final chance to be put to rest, however, she would take upon herself Destined Death to ensure that her Tarnished would one day meet their fate.
