I guess spoiler warning: The gameplay footage we have shows the standard fire perfume, which may be faith based. As well we see a blue perfume, which may be int based. Iron Pineapple mentioned the possibility of a lightning perfume which would be either faith, dex, or maybe both? If so then this class might have "weapons" that cater towards multiple build types, like all weapon classes tend to. Or at least I hope so. Would be kinda disappointing if they all required 1 specific build to use...

    In regards to the tip about crafting, I too don't use a lot of craftable items, but I highly recommend you remember to always bring bone darts with you wherever you go. Why you may ask? Yes they have terrible damage, but remember that enemy posture regenerates very quickly when they go for a certain time (six seconds I believe) without being hit. So I always throw bone darts whenever I'm retreating for a heal, or waiting for an approach, using this simple strategy earns me so many more critical blows that it has completely transformed how I play. It's now a fundamental tool that I bring into every boss and miniboss. Plus it makes critical blows easier to land against bosses your playing defensively against, which you'll be doing more since we're unfamiliar with these new boss movesets. I recommend binding bone darts to a pouch so you can use a simple button combo to use it immediately. Oh and they're immediately available and stupid cheap too, just kill a few wandering animals, you'll thank me later.

    Now this is a good tip, especially for heavy weapon builds, since they do high poise damage but, being as slow as they are, give you fewer attack windows. This means that your strategy to keep the enemy's poise from regenerating too fast mitigates one of the downsides of using heavy weapons

    @@brodericksiz625 I didn't mention it in my comment, but yea I've doing a run with the Guts colossal sword, mainly because I'm trying to learn a playstyle I have a lot difficulty with before the DLC. I couldn't imagine how challenging it would be to get consistent posture breaks without this tip. But with this tip, it actually makes colossal weapons easy mode. Because the weapons' inherently high damage their critical strikes are beefy and they break posture stupidly fast even with pokes, so long as you stop posture regen. Plus there are a lot of situations where it's too risky to approach with a colossal weapon, but this tip gives you something to keep track of while looking for an opening. Keeping focused is key.

    Ziostorm, you're actually the first Elden Ring content creator (that I'm aware of) to promote leaving key NPC's alive for the DLC. Indeed, I have been doing very much the same. I've kept Melina, Malenia and Gideon alive. I did finish Millicent's questline, but have not even breached the fog gate to Malenia. I like to say she has "diplomatic immunity" until the DLC comes out. I've also refused to burn the Erdtree, but I do have a save with the Frenzied Flame on NG+2, as well as one without it in its first playthrough.

    ​@truthserum273 I would say +18 weapons are decent as there are obviously more upgrade materials within the dlc. Alongside the new attack power mechanic. Bell bearing I agree you should 100% get all the Bell bearings for stones just to get +9 somber and +24 standard hassle free. Mimic tear is unnecessary while I'm a spirit ash hater there's bound to be new spirit ashes in the dlc as well thar might surpass mimic tear.

    ​@truthserum273 because literally every single dlc from ds1, ds2, ds3, and bloodborne have included more materials to use. Usually 1-3 titanite slabs (ancient dragon stones) alongside Usually materials equivalent to mid and late game for upgrades. If they don't follow their own dlc formula I'd be shocked

    Thanks Zio. Nice info without spoilers, and I’ll use your group, alongside Cowboys (password fcb). I’m going in with an int/fai at 45 each, Prince of death staff, deaths poker, and golden order seal, maxed at lv120, at least for now, with both incants and spells at about a 60/40 split. It’s my favourite build, and I’m yet to burn the tree. I thought I’d stop there, go into dlc and see how I fare, I think it will be a good challenge and I can enjoy completing the main game again with new weps and spells and anything else they give us. I have a lv 200 I completed the game on if I get desperate, with all the kit, so I’m covered if I get trounced. Can’t wait! Look forward to more great content from you as we explore more of this truly epic game.

I've watched the original gameplay trailer and the story trailer, that's it, and that's all I will watch until after I finish the dlc. Blind runs of fromsoft games is some of the best gaming experiences you can have.

    Interesting IRL lore about the mauseleum bells - IRL the large shrine bells are said to be designed to be loud enough to be heard in the underworld. I found it interesting that shardbearer mauseleums had this bell while the non-shardbearers did not. While I doubt it has any game lore implications I do find the idea of the Shadow Land being informed somehow via these bells intriguing.

    Something cool I wish I caught on camera was how beneficial the messages could be. It can be rare now but when the game was out for less than a year I was fighting a boss fight and on a death hit from a boss someone liked my message, fully healing me, and leading me to defeating the boss. I honestly put as many messages as possible just to make this happen again.

    The thing about getting the somber smithing stone from Millicent quest is that you have to choose. The smithing stone or to kill her and get Millicent Prosthesis. It's a hard pick cause you miss out on either a max weapon or one of the best talismans in the game (Depending on build)

    I found an amazing video showing the inspiration for the shadows lands of elden ring from GRRM's a song of ice and fire. It's from a youtuber called "the disputed lands" and the video is called "The Land of Shadow inspiration DISCOVERED... hiding in the ANCIENT LORE of ASOIAF." I think so many videos of elden ring lore in the community have really overlooked this. I think that the scaffolding of the elden ring story was built off of this. The video is only about 8 minutes long too but it says soooo much!
