tarragonne: Insane refresh pull

Ripedorange: thanks to skumnut for playing this game and making it famous

JustNex_0: the bushy labubu is just watching. staring. observing...

grantzu: wow that 4 year part just gave me an incredible sense of doom

bonklonk2090: I actually replayed v1.0 a few weeks ago while i worked on a ship and some things i noticed included.

Radan having a metric ton of health.

Ice hatchet chest didnt spawn.

Couldnt get the katana from the catacomb.

Many textures didnt load or were just not in the game, i.e. 'magic rises' walls around the map.

Godfrey has 2 full health bars.

The health bars were basic looking and didnt have the shading.

There were some other things but i dont quite remember them.

Aurosteel: Heart you Skumnut, glad to have you around, and I'm happy this game has let you earn a living, may the climb be ever ball-busting

residentwievle4: Elden Ring with Silksong ost is so blessed.

berzerkerlygames6256: Pre patch skumnut was honestly way easier to beat, I think simply because of skumnut the updates have been overall better

StanleyG23: You should absolutely try playing the 1.00 version of the game too if you can get your hands on it!

jaudat17: Sword of night and flame's magic ash of war did more damage the closer you were to the enemy, thats why it didnt do that much when you first used it.

Also, moonveil was good because it did alot more stance damage of its ash of war R2. They nerfed the stance damage on its projectile

KiwiCabbage: Where's that howl of shabriri only run at dawg

rxndo69: Skumnut is so nice for making this tiny indie game so popular

DemonKingHiei: Elden ring is such a special game to me. It’s more than just a game. It was my first souls game. It came out during a time when both CoD and wwe games became disappointment every year and I was done. So I bought ER. I’d always heard of souls games but never tried them

I read in interviews that Miyazaki recommended not picking the wretch if it’s ur first game. So naturally I picked it.

The first boss I killed after getting humbled by Bob the tree Sentinel was blood hound knight derrawill. The BHF became my first weapon. My first run was 160 hrs. I abused summons like crazy.

Then 2024 arrives and my dad buys me the collectors edition of the dlc that comes out on my birthday(my dad did not make it tho, he passed away a couple weeks before its release) the dlc became my favorite content in gaming

A few months after my dad’s passing I decided to drop summons and give RL1 a try. Up to that point I let the summons do the work and never learned the bosses so I decided to turn everything around and give it a try. I was supposed to just do a few bosses

Margit fell, the godrick, then Radahn, the rennala, then DTS. I just kept going.

The true wall of my run was maliketh. Other bosses only took an hr or so. Maliketh took 13 hrs of the 34 hr run

I never hollowed. I persisted and won. Now I know him like the back of my hand, so much so I killed him recently with only damage from the blasphemous claw

This game has shaped me a lot the past few years. And the connection I have with it matters a lot to me. Not just cuz of the thing with my dad but from the friends I made, the content creators I’ve I discovered like you and the improvement I made at the game.

ELDEN RING is a very special game to me.

Jan-bc5fw: Something that wasnt mentioned is that all buffs got cut in half... so everything probably can seem broken on patch 1

applejuiceknight: Can't believe I've been watching skum for almost 4 years, crazy to see how much has changed and how much you grew man. May you stay blessed skum and I can't wait to see what other masochistic stuff you'll come up with next.

_Extrexo: Missed opportunity on pre nerf blasphemous blade

PowerCooki: Early happy birthday Elden Ring

funpolishfox5410: Idk if someone told you already but that Leonard in the sea is how Radahn's meteor attack works- when Radahn goes into the sky, Leonard is teleported under the rough location of the player and Radahn uses it as a guide on where to land, that's why the glitch worked.

RaptorDre: Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

RegularLunar: correction: the dogs crit spot isn’t bugged, the dog literally doesn’t have a crit animation.

afrokoku-jin5161: Dual wielding use to apply full status with each weapon too, which made different elements on each weapon very viable.

ancientdragonlightningram: Father skum i have all the documents drawn up. When can we meet for you to sign and legally adopt me
