How to survive your first run in Elden Ring Nightreich Dignity

As the saying says, the night is dark and full of horror. This proverb is always true and has been proven in time in time Elden Ring NightegThe latest game of the Glearess Game Design assistant for From software. Take a page (or rather several pages) from your entire catalog that goes back to the first Dark soulsPresent Night direction Somehow it manages to offer an experience that is familiar and feels new.

The majority of familiarity is due to the fact that the environments, weapons and the struggle look very similar and feel similar Elden ring. On the flip side, the multiplayer focus of the game and the consequence of the new gameplay mechanics, from the cliff of the wall jump to sprint through the landscape, make almost make Night direction Feel like a completely different game than anything that was done before. Of course there is a way to Night direction Feel like any other game from the oeuvre of software: your butt will kick and it will often kick.

The basic core of the game is the following: Three players plunge into the Limveld to survive two nights in the game while fighting for the map, lying on and gathering equipment so that they can finally defeat the nightlord in the third night. It is obviously a lot, much more detailed than that, so let's leave it to you to read that Elden Ring Nighteg: Answering 20 burning questions that we wrote at the beginning of this year while we focus on something more important. Namely, to help them stay alive.

Hopefully these tips will not only help you to survive the horrors of the night, but can even give you a chance to put down the first night -Lord the first time you try. [Editor’s Note: you won’t, but it’s nice to have dreams.]

Take a few minutes to acclimatize

As mentioned above, there are a number of new gameplay mechanics in Elden Ring Nighteg That could take long -term players to get used to it. You can sprint, you can climb high areas thanks to a double wall jump, and you have a number of new attacks such as character capabilities and ultimate arts with which you can play. Fortunately, the game offers a kind of tutorial when you fire it for the first time so that you can learn the basics.

The roundtable hold has also returned from Elden Ring and offers a new area to test your skills against dummies (and enables you to optimize the combat settings to the desire of your heart). After all, you can also start a solo mission from the hold. We can essentially guarantee that you will not survive the first night, but it is a great way to orientate yourself and find out the new mechanics.

Find your fighter (and your friends)

When you start Night directionYou will see that there are six different characters to choose from, a different play style (there are two more that are unlocked after you defeated your first night lord). A very quick breakthrough: Ironeye is a ranged fighter, Guardian is the defensive bulwark.

It is worth experimenting on the above -mentioned training area to determine whether one of them hits their imagination, but a large part of their decision is due to the selection of a character that complements the others in their three group. We found great success in using two melee fighters in Raider and Wylder, with Irononeye being back and reviving us with his arrows when we fell (in addition to great enemy health with his ultimate art). In any case, it is worth experimenting and mixing things the more you play. Or, hey, try three of the same character just to see what happens!

Use your card and record a course

After you have ended up in the Limveld, it is of course to fight yourself. After all, they have a storm that approaches them! However, it is always good to take a minute to check your card to see what is nearby. Flask upgrades are always very practical in the chapels, as well as easily written mini-boss (LOL “Easy”), which can often be found among churches that can help them get a few levels directly from the bat. The PIN system in Night direction Works quite well because your teammates can essentially accept your PIN in order to prioritize them on the direction of the direction on the top of your screen. While it is helpful to plan a course, the most important survival price is to know when you turn your tail better and run away in front of a mini boss that is too powerful or at all times when you are in a bad situation.

Bigger is not always better

If RPGs have taught us players over the years, we should always take up equipment with larger numbers. While this may be the case sometimes when it comes to Nightfree's There is a new strategy here (especially those who receive them by defeating bosses and mini boss). In addition to the RAW attack force, every weapon has passive bonuses you get Just to have them in your inventory. So take a minute of overlooking this red number that is lower than the one you already hold and check whether this so-called weaker weapon can offer an advantage for your build-even if you could never swing you-that could help you to do it a little further.

Communication is the key

We all know that communication in multiplayer games is essential, but I am convinced that it could be more important Night direction than everyone else. It is almost always a recipe for a disaster, both for you and for every unhappy teammate to save you (I was on both sides of this equation), almost always a recipe for a disaster (I was on both sides of this equation). There will also be many times if you pick up an article that would be better suited for the character of a teammate. And while Night direction Offers a number of great, user-friendly non-verbal communication instruments (such as the above-mentioned pens), they will never be as good as good old-fashioned microphones and party chat.

Cooperation? Cooperation? Yes, do this

Keeping together and communicating does not matter if you don't really work together. There are many examples in Night direction Where three heads are better than one. For example, we found great success when our Ironeye hid from the front on an enemy sign and enabled us to deal with and attack from behind. There were also a number of occasions in which one of us would find an object that would provide our character a small passive upgrade, but would be much better in the hands of another. The timing of our ultimate arts made a big difference in some boss battles, since one ultimate would numb the boss and allow the others to land theirs without missing and waste the risk.

If you are not successful at first …

The above tips will definitely be helpful, but let us be real: You will probably die a few times before you even come to the first night of Mr. (a three-piece, swimming dog called Gladius)-and then die again a few times before you can defeat it.

But it's okay! Not only do every run reward you with valuable relics that can give your character a thrust in the next run, but you will almost guarantee something on the way that will help you next time.

See you in Limveld, Nightfarer!
