there is something hidden at the start of the game
there is an ordinary door that is blocked right outside of where you spawn, before you even get into the tutorial
I'm not talking about the stonesword key blocked area that comes a bit later. I mean immediately after you spawn and start a new game.
I've spent like an hour trying to figure out how to get to it.
you can't return to it once you start progressing the tutorial so there has to be a way...

Elden Ring Continues the Souls Series' Longest In-Joke - IGN
Elden Ring has continued FromSoftware’s long running in-joke by once again including something that Souls fans love to hate.

My eyes are sore from doing nothing but playing since yesterday afternoon! And all I can do when not playing is to think about where to explore next. Beaten two bosses and managed to find around 4 more that are too tough at the moment.
Not finding the bosses any easier than previous soulsborne games but have yet to try out the new mechanics. Main gripe is not being able to find any decent weapons so far. Item drops seem to be a lot rarer and sparse. Can explore large amounts of space and not find anything. It's nice being able to relax and breath between enemy encounters, and being free to literally explore any direction is so liberating. No getting stuck on a single path. Can't wait to dive back in...

alright I decided I'm going to start a new playthrough as confessor
this game is addictive af
I think I might take some screenshots of the door I'm talking about, I can't find anything about it online which is weird for a FromSoftware game
can't understand why no one is talking about this blocked door at the start of the game, I really want to know what's behind it

Really enjoying it so far, it's basically big Dark Souls with some Sekiro elements. My only complaint is that as others have said, performance can be a little... rough. Playing the PS5 version.

I have to strongly disagree that this game is the easiest Souls game yet. Not sure how widespread that opinion is, but I saw enough of it on YouTube and figured From was trying to appeal to more players, but after playing it? Nope.
Sure, you can skulk around in the grass, but when it comes to bosses or even some upper tier normal enemies, like the guys on horses...this is still a From game.

Well, this is most likely because you’re not some big, whiny baby sucking on Digital Foundry’s teets.
Game might just be the GOAT for me.

So after a few hours, it's clear, one of the things that makes it so special is how the open-world removes the forced difficulty. You don't have to fight your way down a hallway and spend 2 hours at a boss, you can choose, there is 4-5 different paths, some are not that difficult, some are, some have huge bosses, some have smaller easier mobs. It makes the game's notorious difficulty more up to the player.
Also, the way FromSoftware loves to build in secrets and insane things into their games really shine here, the open world has allowed them to go wild in this regard, every corner features some new crazy shit.

So far I have to say that enemy poise in alot of instances feels very unsatisfying. I´m fighting standard human soldiers and even a fully charged heavy attack from a two-handed greatsword can´t stagger some of these guys if they´re in the middle of an animation. Enemies just tank the damage and run through everything.

That's right. The golden rays at the sites of grace guide you towards story beats, but I'd highly suggest exploring around those sites as there are a few - not too difficult to find but easy to miss - dungeons with useful items such as talisman and spirit ashes that will aid you immensely.

Googled it. Wide spread well known issue. No fix. Too much traffic. Just can’t play with other people.

I played 10 hours or so. Astrologer. But not without replacing the thermal paste on my ps4pro. Before I ended my play session I get a
dragon spell from the island, do any of you guys try any of those? Has some faith and arcane stats that I couldn't meet.

I equipped the spirit ash for parry with the shield and still can't nail the timing. Im beggining to think I'm doing it wrong.

I too couldn't believe what just happened. I made a run for it, grabbing anything i could. Legit new way to troll soul players after all those past traps.

I just died there for an hour. I am leaving because this is bs. It goes on forever and ever. And the stupid trap adjusts after your movement. So sometimes it is impossible to get by.

The first boss, Margit (I don't think a name is a spoiler?) is harder than any boss I fought in DS3, and I just recently played DS3 so it is fresh in my memory.
DS3 the most attempts a boss took me I think is like 3-4? I beat most bosses in 1-2 tries. I spent hours fighting Margit last night.
to be fair, I was playing as a prisoner. I rolled a confessor this morning and it definitely feels more familiar. he starts with a broadsword, which was the main weapon I used in DS3, so the move set is very familiar.

Does anyone actually like stealth in Elden Ring? It makes getting through enemies too easy coupled in with the open world aspect of the game.

Yeah, you should probably come back later for that guy. Go find some other place to go and have fun. You’ll stop him later.

So, my first question is how they made the character creator even worse than previous entries. The sculpting is just... Monster Factory fodder.

And how about that one right at the beginning? Makes the Asylum Demon look like a big, fat idiot.

Got my Collector's Edition in the mail today. Holding off until I finish Horizon and Cyberpunk PS5 version though. By then hopefully there will be all the quests and hidden stuff detailed in guides.

There is a kinda guiding light that shows you a general direction of the Main quest I think, its on the Map and the "Bonfires" kinda shine towards it.
I put in another hour and gave up for the night, only had maybe an hours sleep last night so not in the mood right now, this weekend is free now that I am raid ready in Destiny

Sounds like there's multiple? One I found put me in an enclosed area with a single strong enemy.
The trap I found was at the top of a tower in a chest and sent me to a castle section in the north with one of those giants.

13 hours in and I just beat Margit. Is this supossed to be the first story boss? Cause that was hard as balls man. 
Playing offline and borderless window. That might help
Speak for yourself, it played mostly fine on my computer. Maybe a dip or two, but nothing as crazy as I've seen online.

So I started over on my lunch break and have been trying to take down the tutorial boss. Got literally 1 hit away just now and missed a roll.
Now I have to get back to work for the next 3 hours. I don't even know what (if anything) you get for beating it, but now it's personal.
I can hear his voice every time I see a walking dead gif.

Yea mine was totally different
Some mining area with some kind of insect monster guarding the miners that would 1-2 shot me. When i exited the mine, the sky was bloody red, fucked up alien mushrooms on the ground. Was way east of the map, i didn't have any map fragments for that place. I noped out.

Can someone please explain me what the point of the game is? This stound stupid but I really dont know.. In bloodbourne u went from those lamps to lamps and could not continue a path before u cleared a boss. Here I can go anywhere, I can kill anything, it just respawns when I get back. I dont know if there is a main storyline or main path u should take to progress til u finish the game? Is it just one big open world that never ends and u just play for fun or.. Its not really clear to me :/

I havent seen anything close to that. I guess I have a magic PC.
Seems like all the big lag videos are coming from him mainly, when we're talking about "did it crash?" kind of stutter. EAC either doesn't like his streaming app (OBS?) or his config is really the worse possible case you can have with the game.
I have an almost flawless experience on PC so far.

When I'm about to buy some armor... is there any way to compare the piece I'm about to buy with the one I have equipped? Seems like a weird omision.
Might be wrong tho.
I think there's two chests in that place, one where the nobles are chanting, and another between four walls that you have to double jump to get into, and one has Twinblade and the other other has the teleport.
Might be wrong tho.
