I actually did the zip glitch completely by accident once in the vulcano manor where you drop down a bunch of cages behind an imp statue. I wanted to get across the room but didn't figure out you had to drop down on the right of the entrance and kept looking around, raising and lowering my torch periodically. I was pretty shocked to suddendly be catapulted across the room to the loot I wanted and thought I had discovered some sort of invisible jump pad thingy until I started watching the first speedruns XD

The logic behind a reverse backstep is simply using the input buffer windows the game offers, much like in fighting games. In Elden Ring, actions can be queued during another action and the timing is generous imo. So for example, you can buffer 2handing your weapon at the end of a roll.

SaintRiot is an expert in back-stepping and weapon swapping. His videos are how I learned about them. Tried them myself, but I'm on keyboard and mouse, which make them about 1000 times harder. You can still perform weapons swaps, but I'm not sure on backsteps, you can do the incorrect version at least.

You can also use the triggers to swap, it'll page up and down and pressing start will close the menu completely unlike spamming B or O

the reverse backstep, i noticed you were trying to explain how to press the button not simultaneously but right after the backstep input, in the FGC world we use the term "plink" which is describe in the wiki "Plinking is done by quickly pressing two or more buttons exactly one frame apart (in priority descending order). This can be done by rolling one's fingers across two button, almost hitting them simultaneously." probably a good way to describe how to do the reverse backstep!

I once did an accidental ZIP during the Elden Beast fight. I don't honestly know what happened, it occured right after the fight loaded (so as the game was fading from black from the cutscene) I was just suddenly inside Elden Beast and had done like 2 damage to him (I assume kinda like I fell onto him). It was weird but I guess not impossible if I just had a crazy stroke of luck and made the inputs right as the fight started (I tend to mash the shield button while playing so it's not completely out of the question lol)

@skarletismercy3275

exact same thing happened to me, maybe leaving the transition cutscene and buffering some kind of move just happens to line up for a zip?

Skill number five seems very convenient for anyone who has to deal with falling off from a high place on a regular basis. Very interesting... Heh.

minor correction @6:15, you can also get the elevator up in another way. very easy way actually, only takes some patience, just try to get invaded there, sometimes the invaders spawn below the lift, and they will activate it to reach you up there..... dunno if they patched this in the meantime, but this was what a lot of people did in the beginning

I'm genuinely surprised how clear and useful all this information is. I really appreciated the hint about stepping forward after the parry to avoid the negative window during gear swaps, and the explanations for reverse backstep/quickstep helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. Well done.

Ey SunlightBlade! Small tip! when standing at a ledge you can cast Fortissax's Dragon bolts(2 bolts) or the Ancient Dragon version (single forked bolt) your bolt can miss the ledge you are standing on and keep going down (potentially indefinatly until it collides with a surface where it will then transition to the second part of the bolt / bolts with producing the AoEs) on unsuspecting foes below, note it might take time to learn how to cast both bolts of Fortissax without falling with the second bolt, but it is possible, great for defense at the top of a platform with a nearby ladder!

A true reverse backstep is to do it after a attack and you have to learn when your weapon animation ends on each attack for each weapon and neutral reverse backstep is a lot harder when running so giving it a try in the future would be cool

@mangomane420

Жыл бұрын

You don't necessarily have to time the backstep with the end of the animation because you can buffer that part early, but I believe the directional input does have to be timed correctly to get the earliest possible reverse back step

Great vid! 👍 About that last flask tip, the same bug occurs if the second flask you drink is empty, so you can give off the impression that you're out of healing flasks with an empty FP flask. And this works even while standing

I've found an easier to do the Reverse Backstep is to attack, then press backstep and move your joystick backwards. You have a MUCH bigger window in between backstepping and moving the joystick because the game buffers the backstep command before you move the joystick. It's very consistent. Edit: I also wanted to add it becomes much easier to chain it as well with this technique.

Feels wild to see the Leyndell elevator skip evolve past me; I remember doing SO much math to get the exact timing right after 1.05 buggered it up. Now people have an entire new position and timing method, and I couldn't be prouder!

Iirc you can also have a friend invade you, parry them, and get the riposte as you're falling off the ledge (similar to the haligtree town skip). You should land just as the crit animation ends and take no damage.

Didn’t know about the explosive lleyndell skip or the duck flasks. Very cool.

Smooth and silky video and topic, cheers from Germany 🎶✌

Buffering back step during an animation then unlocking (if locked) and holding back (or sideways) on the stick is the way to preform the “reverse back step”. Very common tech in ds3 specifically. Doing this without the animation bigger is not a reverse back step. When you press back step, pause, then flick the stick to change direction without a buffer makes it a ravioli step. This tech was used commonly in ds1 as you could not state during a backstep so you could do crazy trades, escapes, and set up backstabs in weird ways by chaining a couple of ravioli steps.

Menu swapping is one of the coolest things I've ever learned. I will never forget the feeling when I first pulled off a wepaon + ring swap mid parry in PvP. It happened twice, never again kek. Well worth it though :)

For tip 3, I've been practicing this for the first time in Elden Ring. It was in DS3, but I never learned it there. My way of practicing reverse backstepping is more of a dance. Essentially, reverse backstepping back and forth repeatedly. I also mix-in side-to-side to get a feel for different directions of backstep. I found it helps me get a feel for the timing a bit better. It's not how you'll do it in combat scenarios, so it's really only helpful for getting the timing down.

Another way to wavedash that I use is to alternate between crouching and blocking (which forces you to stand) it seems like you regain stamina at the same rate and depending on when you time the attack you can use a crouch attack, any neutral attacks or a running attack which gives colossals access to a lot. So many cool skills here, there's always something new to learn with souls games, love to see it :D

The reverse back step was all the way back in ds1 which iirc it hadnt come back yet since but its so nice to catch people with it lol

That technique that allows you to walk on air will be useful when facing those players that hide themselves on the columns of the starting zone.

If you ever do a part 2 id love to see quickstep buffers and crouch cancels

I remember doing reverse backstep (not knowing the name of the technique) waaay back in DkS2 where I was just testing movement combos & attacks, and I accidentally discovered both how cool it looked, and how useful it might be in actual combat. I never read anything about the game's tips & tricks, or advanced movement mechanics, because I simply wasn't interested in anything but its lore, so while I most certainly used reverse backstep to my advantage many many times back then (even in PvP... ah, good old duel times on Iron Bridge) - but I learned how it's actually called just now, watching your video. I suppose this is my TIL moment, haha.

The zip glitch... man that was so hype when Oroboros stumbled upon that on stream. Then he spent the next next few hours figuring out how to do it again and again. It was probably the highlight of the release year in streaming for me.

True, it saved my ass the other day in Leyndell, Ashen Capital. I used it to escape from the area with 4 ulcerated tree spirits after grabbing a talisman.

DS1 thing: There's a way to force a parry-only shield to bash. It involves menuswapping with a twohanded bow-zoom in the left to a parry shield. No delay, it just forces a shield bash as some consequence of going from bow mode to shield. It has like no use. Maybe you could swap out at the right time to force a bash against an opponent who's rushing you while you're aiming a bow? idk.

About time man.

I don't know who needs to know this but hold backstep/roll while doing heavy attacks with rapiers and curved swords to do their old weapon class 'kick replacement' moves.

I can barely even sprinting jump, let alone any of this. It took me a dozen tries to do that roof jump in Stormveil before the bird, then I took until in-game night to clear out the entire courtyard from the roof, but it was worth it.

If you are just looking to do proof of concept, I wonder if using Voice Attack and playing with the timing might help with recreating the zip glitch. You can program in pauses for inputs in that, I'm just not sure if it is accurate to 1/30 sec.

I'm very surprised you did not include the Perfumer's Grotto wrong warp glitch. I was able to get to cool areas in the underground, Farum Azula, the capital, and elsewhere by a simple save and quit.

I remember in Dark Souls 1 we would call the Reverse Backstep a Ravioli Step!

if you were on a recent patch it probably was impossible because they've been patched out for a while if I'm not mistaking. I think it was 1.04 or 1.03 that patched Zips out along with a lot of things like wrong warps, the Somber 7 jump in volcano manor and Mohg cheese
