It might have been two years since Elden Ring was first launched however the punishing FromSoftware title nonetheless has gamers making an attempt out new strategies to at the present time. Nonetheless, there was one main mistake we’ve got all been making.

Consequently, streamers have known as in therapists to assist with the trauma and FromSoftware has even issued an replace that makes issues a bit simpler.

The Souls video games aren’t designed to be straightforward however in response to a latest video by Youtuber Leviathan, we’ve got all been making a significant mistake because the sport’s launch.
In a video titled ‘Elden Ring’s most USED mechanics are a lure…”, Leviathan explains that straightforward mechanics that all of us depend on can truly do extra hurt than good.
The mechanics in query are the dodge roll and lock-on options.
Dodge rolling is one thing that all of us reap the benefits of throughout punishing boss fights and I positively give gymnastics a run for his or her cash with my rolls. Nonetheless, Leviathan claims that leaping is definitely a a lot better technique as you usually tend to keep away from AOEs and it even consumes much less stamina.
A number of the assaults in Elden Ring might be dodged simply by leaping, together with throughout the fights with the Tree Sentinel and Malenia. Any assaults which might be low to the bottom might be leapt over and the video proves this to be very true.
The lock-on function may also be a hindrance because it solely permits our gamers to maneuver based mostly on the enemy’s place. Nonetheless, locking-off can permit you extra freedom of motion to strafe and even side-step the boss to confuse them.
Leviathan recommends by no means being locked-on to an enemy if they’re about to assault from above.
I do know what I’m going to be testing out this night.
