I was very happy to do this, as both Bandai Namco and myself are keen to help new players stick with the game. It's so satisfying to overcome difficulty in these games, but there's so much beyond that, and I hope guides like this can help new players experience it all. Thank you guys, for the opportunity. And thanks to many in the comments who are being way too nice hah

Listen up bud. Stick with it. There are very few games like this, and none that are this good. However, this is probably a terrible starting point as an introduction… but it is also the endgame for all of it. If you can make it in Elden Ring, you can make it anywhere.

One thing I have say is I am just loving the fact that everyone here is so happy for Vaatividya. Congratulations man, you more then deserve it.

So proud of how far Vatti has come. He deserves all of it

It’s crazy to see something like this actually happen. Good on Bandai Namco and Fromsoft for fostering this. Don’t have to say how awesome Vaati is, since he’s the reason most of us somewhat understand the stories of these games.

First watched Vaati's videos during the Prepare to Cry series for Dark Souls 1. Great content creator. Learned pretty much everything about the series from him. Excellent videos, excellent story teller, and I hope everyone who watches this checks out his channel to learn and enjoy these games deeper than just surface level. They are really deep and really awesome beyond just being fun games.

Slowly but surely, Vaati overcame his role of just another fan, he became a lore master, and now, he shines as a Lord. Praise The Sun \[T]/

Huge ups to from for including vaati in an official guide, he deserves it so much. Great game from, and great guide vaati. Time to become and elden lord.

I'm a total noob hopefully I can be one of these new players that overcome the difficulty. Glad I've found your content Vaati

There's so much information in this that veteran players don't even think about. We just do it without thinking. This brings me back to when I first started

I think it's so so beautiful that they did this with Vaati. FromSoft really got respect for their community and the relationship they have to their fans is the best company-customer relationship out there.

This was seriously MASSIVELY HELPFUL OMG. I was soooo frustrated after a couple of hours. I had no idea what anything is or what to do. Thank you for making this!

SO Glad you took the time to make this for all us beginners to understand allot more bout the game. Thank YOU !!!!!!

This is literally the best guide and helps me tremendously. Thank you!

This is so wholesome... Such a game and such people behind... Absolutely proud to be a part of.

For some reason this guy's sound is very relaxing.

Thank you very much for the guide! This is my first Dark Souls game and although I've figured out some of this through trial and error this was very helpful. Also, bonus points for not unnecessarily showing bosses/locations far into the game and using the beginning area to display all the methods of combat.

This helped my understanding of the game immensely. Thank you.

Vaati deserves all this and more. His videos have captivated me, guided me through these games, and helped myself fall for the From Software titles heavy. Props to Bandai for recognizing creators and giving one of the tried and true a feature spot for one of the best video beginners guides I've seen in a long time. Praise the Sun! and thanks Vaati for all of the tireless work and awesome content, you're amazing

So good to see vaati getting the official recognition he deserves for his hard work. So happy for you brother!

"they do not block the path - they are the path" - perfectly to the point

Thank you so much on this video ,i'm new player and i love Elden Ring but i have no idea what the hell am doing hahah ❤️

I've played every Souls game so far and I still got plenty of useful info out of this video! Thanks Vaati!

Its so cool they reached out to partner with you, thereby acknowledging creators in a way. Be it a marketing campaign or anything else i found it cool.

Vaati is the sole reason I tried Bloodborne out. His lore videos were perfect. Bloodborne ended up being my favorite game ever made, and my first platinum trophy. Since then I have purchased and obsessed over each Miyazaki game. Glad to see his videos getting full exposure.

Boy , this is my first souls game , and I’ve got shat on lol , but I’m learning the basic and roaming around and it’s amazing , and rewarding

Omg Vaati, I'm so proud of you

I wish I saw this a week ago! This is essentially the quick start guide and it would be awesome if this was accessible within the game! Not sure if you're an employee or just sponsored by namco due to your expertise, but their seal of approval is much deserved. Now I know where to go for desperately needed info on game mechanics, etc.

VaatiVidya has trully become FromSoftwares official voice. He's always been tied to Souls games to us, anyway 😊

And this is how a hero becomes a legend, thanks for all vaati

Congrats, dude! Getting featured like this must be pretty cool! Every souls fan is rooting for ya :D

Yes VaatiVidya! I love seeing this on BN's official page! Your Lore videos are so essential for anyone delving into these mystical and indeed mythical worlds, and your delivery is perfect to match the mood of the games! keep it up! I cant wait for the full Lore videos for Elden Ring!

Whoa, never expected to see Vaati doing an official vid for Bandai. Been watching him since 2013, it’s great to see him get the recognition he deserves :)

that first line was incredibly good, and true and made me honestly think of the game differently... "these obstacles are not there to block your path they ARE the path" VERY well said about this game lol

Came upon this guide because I’m so new I was thinking I might just not like this game. It’s never fun feeling lost and weak in the beginning. Thanks for the tips, I’ll keep going!

What’s crazy is, if Vaati had posted this on his channel, it’d already have double the views lol. That’s how beloved his content is. Thanks Bandai & Vaati

Vaatividya, congratulations, I love your videos, and seeing you reach this, is incredible, and Bandai, congrats for recognizing him, it is a very good attitude that can even push more people to thrive doing what they love

Because of such beginners guide and tips videos, I finally got into souls like, hell even into RPG gaming genre. They really can make your game less complicating from the start 💯🔥. Some people want easy difficulty in such games but all they need to do is watch deep guide like this before starting the game.

Congratulations on everything you've done. The community thanks you. Respect! ♥️

One of the strongest souls related people, VaatiVidya. One Vaati could destroy anything in his path, due to his power, and determination to find that sweet sweet lore.

The more I see of this game the more it looks like it can finally fill the hole left in me from waiting for another Dragon's Dogma

Best beginners guide I've seen. Having now played a few days, THIS is the stuff I wished I had known before - all the little tips, tricks, fundamentals and how to's. So many of the beginners guides out there are just "here's the Church of Elleh, and make sure to go here and get your first Golden Seed".

The man, the myth, the Legend!

Being given the basics by the Loremaster himself. Now the true Elden Ring starts here. And never forget, DROP. YOUR. SHIELD!

I personally believe this is From Soft best game. I am absolute garbage at the game but the amount of places and things you can do, make it possible for even someone new like me to enjoy the game. I cannot stress how helpful and awesome the mount and mount combat is, as well as the spirit summonings. They have made the difference for me to manage to kill something. I've died a lot but have enjoyed the game so much. You can make progress bit by bit and feel like you're advancing in the game.

More games need to do this since it players like him who been here from day one understand and know how to explain stuff in a way that new people get its also nice to see him get this

So glad they show him the respect he deserves rare for a company to do that

Bandai namco is the right place for ds by respecting both fans and content creators and of course the developers

Perfect voice, great lore videos, he deserves this

Achievement completed. Good work Vaati! May this one be the first of many official videos from From.

Just an absolute excellent video guide for beginners and even veterans. I'm 3o hrs in and wasn't aware of many of these tips. Thanks.

There are even some charged mounted attacks I've found, like with Rogier's rapier that have a unique follow-up attack. So after the upward slash, if you then hit R2 again, you'll follow it up with an overhead piercing jab which is really effective for groups. I used it to ride into a group, charging up a heavy attack on the way in, killing an enemy with it, and then circling around immediately and stabbing a second one. Edit: haven't tested it with many other weapons so I don't know if every weapon has one.

First souls type game for me. Went in on hype and love everything. Been to long since I’ve been pushed this hard. Love it.

The best Souls Like combat guide I’ve had the privilege of absorbing. Thank you

So happy to see Vaati getting recognition. He's poured his heart and soul into the Souls lifestyle

Go Vaati ! Glad to see you as part of Bandai and wishing you continuous success

Wait the publisher actually got a youtuber to do a guide?! impressive 👍

This guy and Cowboy helped me so much through Sekiro. Love these guys.

Absolutely Invaluable video VaatiVidya! Thank you for taking the time to share this with us!

I literally had no idea that I was going to enjoy a game so much to the point where I almost forgot what it felt like to genuinely enjoy a game as you progress to get cool items and armor. I'm still trying to get used to the mechanics, I picked Astrologer for my first build because I really like using magic a lot, hopefully I'll find some items that regen or restore FP somehow.

This was the best beginners guide. You didn't spoil anything, like so many do, and you explain so many confusing systems for a newbie. Well done.

Excellent tips. Simply exquisite. It is clear why you are the best souls genre content creator. Kudos to Bandai for doing this too.

I’m so ducking excited to finally sit down and “low life” Elden Ring! I’ve been super excited! I do not regret dropping COD for souls games! Started with demon souls, DSR, DS3, BB, now this one!!

It's good to see that a creator who's channel is based on explaining the rich lore of a game actually getting recognition from that game's company. Good for him 👍

Respect to bandai giving a shoutout to vaati, he’s probably a large part of why these games are successful. Many gaming companies are much less supportive of the creators in their community.

This just shows how much important you are in this community, I'm very proud of you Vaati

I was struggling a lot with my sorcerer build until i tried the carian slice spell. I has absolutely insane DPS and amazing FP/damage ratio

Ahh Vaati getting the recognition he deserves

thank you so much for your input I really needed that. been playing this game for 2-3 hours and i don't think i've ever felt this lost in the games i've played and i think it's because this is my first RPG game, maybe that's the reason.

Congrats Vaati for being recognized and featured. Can't wait to watch your lore videos.

Keyboard and mouse controls are really bad. Can you please please PLEASE make a dedicated setup for these? Maybe the ability to bind flasks to numbers and give menus a dedicated mouse keyboard setup?

Vaati = best brah in ds/er

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT VIDEO IM NOT EVEN HALF WAY THROUGH AND.. im blown away by how much ive learned thank you!!!! deserves way more views!!! i love this game!!! so thankful i got gifted!!

Thank you for a good beginner guide. I appreciate you taking the time to make a guide for those of us who aren't Dark Souls Masters. The tip that helped me the most was telling me where to find the past instructions if I forgot how to do something, which I did on several things LoL.

I said it before I’m gonna say it again. Vaati contributed 1/5 of FromSoft success

Very good guide, although "super armor" is a measleading term for those coming from fighting games (Brawl/Tekken/street/dbzf etc. - where this mean the attack animation cannot be interrupted.) its more like a stability meter in elden ring !

Perfect beginners guide, no spoilers and all the info I needed and was wondering about. Thank you!
