Sevolund's Genius Elden Ring non-OP Quickstart
This weekend I watched an old guide to starting Elden Ring with more resources in just 30 minutes. It's not wholly obscure, having 42k views, but doubtless it would be more widely watched except that it's in French.
Some things that reveal the genius of Sevolund's Guide to an OP start:
- it's edited to be almost completely spoiler free
- it stays in Limgrave, mostly
- it's only modestly OP, a perfect start for a first blind playthrough
This won't get you a +15/+6 weapon and hundreds of thousands of runes. But it also won't jumpskip between regions and spoil someone's first experience of the game.
What you get by following the guide :
- +3-4 weapon
- 3 golden seeds, enough to have 6 flasks
- 2 tears to upgrade your flasks
- a selection of tears for your potion
- a selection of ashes for weapon arts
- enough runes to buy starter kit, upgrade your weapon, and get about 10 level-ups
I've got some quibbles, but they're minor:
- the sole spoiler is the roundtable hold, which also advances Roderika's quest
