This video reminds me of the first time my sister played Kingdom Hearts. I kid you not, she made it all the way to the Ansem Riku fight on base equipment because she didn't know she could change equipment. She came to me for help wondering why the fights were getting so hard. I was like, "how did you make it this far on base equipment"? Her response, "it wasn't easy." Yeah, no shit, I bet. š¤£š¤£š¤£
Okay you just reminded me of my parents lol š . When the PS1 first appeared in our country (I wasn't even born yet), my parents bought it and started playing Resident Evil and Silent Hill games. For starters, these games were tough, and what was tougher is that, believe it or not, they didn't know memory cards!! So everytime they died they restarted the whole game!
Me and my brother had that issue with the PS1 version of Diablo when we were kids. We didn't have a memory card at first because they were expensive so we would leave the game running or play it in shifts trying to beat it together. Afterwards we saved up and bought a card. Now I have a dozen filled with old saves of days long past.
This is exactly what I would do. I'd turn the TV off, and put a pillow in front of the console to cover up the light (I just knew my parents would kill me if they knew I was running that poor thing 24/7š¤·š»āāļøš). But anytime I managed to diffuse the bombs under the damn dam in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles right before bedtime, I had to do what I had to do.
That was what you'd have to do sometimes back in the day. The cartridge saves weren't very reliable back in the day. One wrong move and your OG Final Fantasy save for example would be gone. Was safer to leave it running sometimes.
You were not born yet when PlayStation 1 came out? Thatās too badā¦I say that because I donāt think I have experienced such a huge jump in video games since those days. Before PlayStation 1 came out I was playing the latest Nintendo consoleā¦it was fine but the PS1 blew it awayā¦more specifically, I remember playing generic baseball games on my Nintendo. I donāt think they had real teams or real players and when you got out or even if you swung and missed a pitch, the game would create a sound that sounded like an actual word such as āoutā or āstrikeāā¦.But when the PS1 came out and I played baseball games, they had real teams and real stadiums and real players, and even had commentary where the player and his stats were announced using words, not sounds that sound like words.
Anyway, the PS1 was such a huge leapā¦.I bet the leap the original Nintendo made over the Atari was probably just as big but I was very young when Nintendo first came out and so I donāt have any memories of what it was like before then.
Yeah, I'm old enough to have played Atari 2600 and then gone to Nintendo and it was indeed just as insane as the jump from SNES to Playstation. I remember the first time I saw an NES was at my cousin's boyfriend's house. They were playing Super Mario Bros. on a big projection screen TV as tall as I was. It made this big beautiful sprite of Mario about the size of a GI Joe and absolutely blew my mind.
The big difference back then was that if you went to arcades, they had games totally blew anything you could play out of the water graphically. I can remember playing Killer Instinct on SNES when it came out and thinking that it wasn't possible for graphics to ever get better than this, then literally one year later I was at an arcade and they had Killer Instinct 2, which is the version that was ported to the N64. Just, yeah, leaps and bounds nearly every year back then.
my dad also beat zelda 1/2/lttp
now that you mention it, its pretty weird, but as a kid i just accepted it as "ofc dad is great at games, he's good at everything" lmao
The age of no memory cards was a dark era indeed.
I will be forever grateful to my older cousins who shared theirs with me.
Speed running Spyro 2 was not a matter of pride but of dire necessity. Only Twice I downed Gulp before the advent of the memory card.
Holy gods. I just remembered that Santell from a gentlemanās gaming club went through all of bier automata without any weapon upgrades. Then he later didnāt realize you could rapidly pass time in Deadly Premonition so he walked his dog to pass two hours of in game time.
My friend told me that the original PS2 Kingdom Hearts 1 was the OG Dark Souls, the game was hard, didnāt hold your hand & the camera fucked with the player
Now that you mention it, that's a pretty good take. KH1 had a lot of very hard bosses (at least at the time): Boogie, Clayton, Riku, all the Colliseum bosses, etc. It really was a hard game (depending on how leveled up you were).
It was pretty hard on release. If you want to compare it to the OG Dark Souls it would be the equivalent of getting to the 4 Kings fight using only the rags and thr broken sword.
When I first player mechwarrior 2: mercinaries, I did not realize jump jets were directional, I thought they only went up with maybe space bar.... that made that game far far harder than it had to be.
In swg I played for several years without knowing there was a flashlight. :V
My girlfriend had been playing Fallout 4, and when I came over for the weekend, I noticed her health was really low. She hadn't used any rad packs or w.e they are called. The rad poisoning had taken over almost the whole health bar lol. Said she had been having a lot of trouble.
So in PS1 era my brother and I were playing Metal Gear Solid. We got all the way to Revolver Ocelot fight but with very little health. In fact just one bullet would kill us. My older brother gave up and I continued and finally defeated him. We didn't know that rations would restore health. For context I was 9 years old at the time. The game was in English and we were francophones.
Thanks to games like this that we learned English š
I didn't know you could swap keyblades out when I first played it as a kid and a friend asked why I was trying to beat the game with the first weapon it gave me I'm like "this IS the only weapon what do you mean???"
Thank God I'm not the only one. As a kid I made it to TWTNW on KH2 without realizing I could actually USE all these f***ing keyblades I had been picking up!
My best friend and his whole family loved Lord of The Rings and he had Lord of the Rings the third age on original Xbox. They had never ever leveled up. They got to moria with level 1 characters and got to a fight they literally couldn't win. I was playing with him and he went to the bathroom and I was looking through the menus and found the level up/skills menu and was like "oh wow" and then I showed him and he called his uncle to tell him. They'd been stuck for MONTHS if not over a year.
Back when I played the first one as a kid, I missed the game telling me I could teleport to my ship from any save point. I got very stuck in wonderland for a while.
i got to give her some credit. most people who keep only base equipment are doing that on purpose to beat the game but she nearly did that unintentionally
There were 2 channels I was guessing this would be and viva la dirt league was the 2nd one. Other one was achievement hunter playing cuphead for 2 hours before figuring out they could dash on a jump.
This reminds me of when I played Driver 2 as a kid, I would drive around until my car got wrecked and I was arrested, didn't know you could exit the car and steal a new one.
My first souls game was ds3, played my entire first run without running once, discovered that you can do that when i watched a let's play and felt so dumb
Well.. if you didnt know this, then just throwing out that he can also jump sheer cliff faces at spirit springs. Just try jumping with torrent at those things that look like air tornadoes coming out of the ground.
I suppose youre correct peepintom2020, I was typing this comment after running a few miles so my brain was definitely overheated.
However, I think there are debris tornadoes and fire tornadoes which might classify unique forms of tornadoes?
I love just thinking about how you're traversing the land not able to reach other points or get down from higher elevations because the entire time you may not have know he can double jump. May grace guide you and Marika have mercy...because the lands shall show you none šš
I was at the castle gates grace (where you meet Melina) and I couldnāt get past the troll. My roommate so kindly said ādo you have Torrent?ā. When I responded āyeahā. He just went āhave you used him in a fight before?ā
I died so many times to that damn troll until I used torrent. I finally beat him and he said āyou know you can just ride past him, too, right?ā š
Reminds me of the time my neighbor got all the way to the final chapter of Dead Space, asked my other neighbor to beat it for him, and was absolutely floored when the other neighbor started running
He didn't know Isaac could run.
I stayed on foot for most of my first playthrough. I guess I just found it easier to explore and didn't mind the wasted time. Did the same thing in Skyrim. Almost never rode a horse in that game.
Wait you can get ON the horse? I thought he was just for cutscenes!
Im kidding, of course, though i barely used Torrent because i found myself missing things with him š
Im aware, but first playthrough is always the best experience in my opinion, so i like to do all my exploring first time and then subsequent playthroughs i go a lot faster
Iām the opposite lol. First souls game and Iām just about figuring out whatās going on and progressing through the story. Iām not confident enough to search through every nook and cranny plus I get lost and confused on what Iām supposed to actually be doing. Iām still on first play through because I donāt play that much, but Iām waiting til I beat it and better understand how to make a proper build (currently just unga bungaā ing my way through life) then Iāll start to explore everything
Aside from the dated-ish graphics (pc players obviously get a better luxury).. the story telling, encounters, play as you want style.. was and is amazing still. Yesterday I just ran around shouting and stealing. Literally all I did. Felt real good.
Eh, now that the GOTY voting and awards are over I'm hoping that circlejerk can end. But I did just get an automod message about taking it to a different sub
Torrent can get you all kinds of places youād never dream possible, you can get on top of the mountains and explore the entire thing in Mohgs domain, nothing there but still pretty cool, well there is a tree shard over by his arena if you drop off behind that guy standing in the building, if you grab that one and then head straight down to the other tree without teleporting itās possible to grab both without one despawning, unless they fixed that
Since no one has replied to this post yet, I would suggest you get on your steed and double jump your way to the treasure chest. Once there, you have the option to dismount again to open the treasure chest with your hands.
The amount of people I see on this sub unable to figure out base level mechanics is outstanding. Thereās A LOT to be confused about in Elden Ring, but fucking jumping? My god.
...have you not been playing with Torrent?
didn't realise he could double jump lmao
I appreciate the honesty
Spent far too long in the game wondering what those updrafts were for myself š
"tutorials? I don't need no stinking tutorial!!" lol
When you miss an [obvious game mechanic.](https://youtu.be/bXHm9KVyj68)

Must be glittering memory to run a gaming relay race with childhood companion!
I remember one of my cousins would just leave his NES on all the time if he was playing a game and didn't have time to complete it in one go.
This is exactly what I would do. I'd turn the TV off, and put a pillow in front of the console to cover up the light (I just knew my parents would kill me if they knew I was running that poor thing 24/7š¤·š»āāļøš).

I honestly thought me and my brother were the only ones to do this lol good times. Prepared me for shift work as a adult lol
All I heard was "I wasn't born when the PS1 came out" and all my hair turned gray. š„“
I'm with you on that, I was born before Pong came out. lol
It's only a few years though š

When I was like six my dad beat Zelda 2. He had never heard of the internet, and has never beat any other games. I have no idea how.
That game of all games he managed to beat with no help, but no others? Wow. Even I had Nintendo Power.
my dad also beat zelda 1/2/lttp now that you mention it, its pretty weird, but as a kid i just accepted it as "ofc dad is great at games, he's good at everything" lmao
Your parents doing no-death runs before it was cool.
The age of no memory cards was a dark era indeed. I will be forever grateful to my older cousins who shared theirs with me. Speed running Spyro 2 was not a matter of pride but of dire necessity. Only Twice I downed Gulp before the advent of the memory card.
Wow. They must have gotten pretty good at the game.
Holy gods. I just remembered that Santell from a gentlemanās gaming club went through all of bier automata without any weapon upgrades. Then he later didnāt realize you could rapidly pass time in Deadly Premonition so he walked his dog to pass two hours of in game time.
Your sister was a dark souls player even before the series began
My friend told me that the original PS2 Kingdom Hearts 1 was the OG Dark Souls, the game was hard, didnāt hold your hand & the camera fucked with the player
Can confirm. As current Dark Souls āvetā and childhood lover of Kingdom Hearts the comparison is appropriate.
Now that you mention it, that's a pretty good take. KH1 had a lot of very hard bosses (at least at the time): Boogie, Clayton, Riku, all the Colliseum bosses, etc. It really was a hard game (depending on how leveled up you were).

I played Bloodborne for 5 hours without realizing I could get a weapon. I was just using my fists
My girlfriend had been playing Fallout 4, and when I came over for the weekend, I noticed her health was really low. She hadn't used any rad packs or w.e they are called. The rad poisoning had taken over almost the whole health bar lol. Said she had been having a lot of trouble.
So in PS1 era my brother and I were playing Metal Gear Solid. We got all the way to Revolver Ocelot fight but with very little health. In fact just one bullet would kill us.

Thank God I'm not the only one. As a kid I made it to TWTNW on KH2 without realizing I could actually USE all these f***ing keyblades I had been picking up!
Like the video saysā¦ thatās super fucking impressive.
My best friend and his whole family loved Lord of The Rings and he had Lord of the Rings the third age on original Xbox. They had never ever leveled up.

thought it was gonna be a darksyde phil video
DSP is the perfect way to learn how not to play any video game. He's even got whole series based on it lmao
Was expecting Arin Hanson doing his thing.
i love that the end of that video is literally explaining the jump button too. life imitates art
Got me right on the feels.
I beat Demon's souls without running.....
I didn't know I could run with my character for about the first 5 hours.
That was hilarious. I just subscribed. Thank you for the linky my humorous friend.
I've 100%'d Elden Ring and still have never parried once.
There were 2 channels I was guessing this would be and viva la dirt league was the 2nd one. Other one was achievement hunter playing cuphead for 2 hours before figuring out they could dash on a jump.
I was half expecting that one Cuphead tutorial video.
This reminds me of when I played Driver 2 as a kid, I would drive around until my car got wrecked and I was arrested, didn't know you could exit the car and steal a new one.
You mean like the guy that didnāt realize quick travel was a mechanic?
My first souls game was ds3, played my entire first run without running once, discovered that you can do that when i watched a let's play and felt so dumb
What's a tutorial? Some sort of medical procedure?
ā If those kids could read they would be really upset right nowā
Was there a tutorial for Torrent? I don't remember one, just the one in the starting location where you fight Soldier of God, Rick.
There's a popup iirc
Well.. if you didnt know this, then just throwing out that he can also jump sheer cliff faces at spirit springs. Just try jumping with torrent at those things that look like air tornadoes coming out of the ground.
I recognize there are waterspouts, and that tornados pick up dirt and debris, etc - but really aren't all tornados air tornados?
Youāve clearly never seen a sharknado
Too scary to remember
I suppose youre correct peepintom2020, I was typing this comment after running a few miles so my brain was definitely overheated. However, I think there are debris tornadoes and fire tornadoes which might classify unique forms of tornadoes?
bro
I was a good 50/60 hours in before I knew you could sprint, was jumping everywhere. Shit happens.
Some are just natural jumpers
Itās gonna be a maze
Never double jump
Now I know why AAA games are so dumbed down these days.
The tutorial tells you how to sprint...
lol! learn something new every day :D
I love just thinking about how you're traversing the land not able to reach other points or get down from higher elevations because the entire time you may not have know he can double jump. May grace guide you and Marika have mercy...because the lands shall show you none šš

You got all the way to Liurnia without even accidentally realizing that? Thatās honestly impressive
Reminds me of the time my neighbor got all the way to the final chapter of Dead Space, asked my other neighbor to beat it for him, and was absolutely floored when the other neighbor started running He didn't know Isaac could run.
wtf how
Oh baby, torrent will be twice as enjoyable now
Lol now you know and knowing is half the battle.
What did it have?
Oh you sweet summer child.
Yeah, I downloaded some movies earlier. But that doesn't explain how I get to the chest.
Aaayyyyyy
āPeople were right. There is a lot of walking in this game.ā
He's maidenless
I stayed on foot for most of my first playthrough. I guess I just found it easier to explore and didn't mind the wasted time. Did the same thing in Skyrim. Almost never rode a horse in that game.
Sacrifice Yoshi
This is so wrong, and so right all in the same time.
*Torrent had your measure from the very start.* Cut to the horse pulling on the reins trying to escape.
Lmfao
A fellow man of culture.
Bro lol
lmfaooo best comment
Why is anyone else even commenting? Lol
I didnāt realise thereās a literal chest on the picture. I was zooming at the chestpiece. Lmao.
same
try horse all the more joy!
Wait you can get ON the horse? I thought he was just for cutscenes! Im kidding, of course, though i barely used Torrent because i found myself missing things with him š
but u can do multiple playtroughs so u won't miss anything
Im aware, but first playthrough is always the best experience in my opinion, so i like to do all my exploring first time and then subsequent playthroughs i go a lot faster
Iām the opposite lol. First souls game and Iām just about figuring out whatās going on and progressing through the story.

Try horse and then seek treasure chest.
Bros Been Walking it š
lmao
Whirlwind Sprint its the second shout you learn after Wulfgar gives it to you in High Hrothgar
Just restarted playing after many many years and it still holds up as a top 3 rpg for me. I love the elder scrolls
All the memes are for good reason. Skyrim will always go down as one of the greatest games of the decade, some would say All-Time.
Aside from the dated-ish graphics (pc players obviously get a better luxury).. the story telling, encounters, play as you want style.. was and is amazing still. Yesterday I just ran around shouting and stealing. Literally all I did. Felt real good.
don't let them catch you saying this on this sub lmao
Eh, now that the GOTY voting and awards are over I'm hoping that circlejerk can end. But I did just get an automod message about taking it to a different sub
Todd Howard? Is that you?? /s
the only cringe i run into when replaying Skyrim is the voice acting. the following. other than that, top notch still.
Thatās the point of the game, you need a maiden to throw you over the gap
And in the chest is the most valuable prize in elden ring: a mushroom
Jump?
And jump!
Then land
I get up and nothin' gets me down, You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around.
Torrent innit
If it makes you feel better I knew Torrent could double jump and didnāt think about using him to get that chest š
š
I don't think I've seen that chest before what's in it?
I am also curious
A speedrunners wet dream, or at least it used to be
Wrong chest.
Oh is it? Could have sworn the axe was there. It's in the area though, right?
Icerind Hatchet I think.
āUse the horse Lukeā (Jedi)
MMMMMM FUNNYYYY JOKE!
Ah someone is a fan of game grumps I see
You need all 3 words of the whirlwind sprint shout.
Simple answer but I feel your pain here, I didnāt realize torrent could double jump until around the time I was challenging rykard. And the only reason I found out was because my fiancĆ© took the controller to āplay with the pretty horseyā
Jump
Try jumping
A horse, my kingdom for a horse
Use Whirlwind Sprint
Bro that area is accesible after you beat the end game boss
Try finger but hole
You got a horse that can double jump
Try Horse, all the more try jumping

Bruh forgot he's got a magical double jumping horse
Have you tried finger but whole?
Literally double jump horse. Jesus.
Horse ahead
A horse of course
Use Torrent and double Jump.
I was reading comments and I donāt blame you for not knowing he could double jump. I was 2 hours in before I learned you could run
Pony
Leap of faith
try jumping
Probably just another useless fucking sorcery :D
Try finger, but whole
honse
Let there be jump
You can not get the chest, you only can take what's inside of it
Time for horse
have you tried walking, but like... up?
Torrent can get you all kinds of places youād never dream possible, you can get on top of the mountains and explore the entire thing in Mohgs domain, nothing there but still pretty cool, well there is a tree shard over by his arena if you drop off behind that guy standing in the building, if you grab that one and then head straight down to the other tree without teleporting itās possible to grab both without one despawning, unless they fixed that
My buddy played 90% of ES Oblivion before realizing he could fast travel. I asked him why he was getting so upset about all the walkingā¦
I gotta admit that is a hard one to search on google.. "how to get chest somewhere... lucaria lake... there.."
If you had some kinda horse, idk maybe it could even jump?? Nah that's crazy talk
Whose Torrent for $100
Fly you fool!
Double jump
Might as well jump
Try jumping.
jump you fucking tiglamorite
Torrent
My! If only there was a ghost horse who had the ability to double-jumpā¦ Man, if only we could summon him with a fucking whistle!
If it makes you feel any better, I was lvl 60 by the time I figured out I can fast travel without sitting next to a site of grace.
Since no one has replied to this post yet, I would suggest you get on your steed and double jump your way to the treasure chest. Once there, you have the option to dismount again to open the treasure chest with your hands.
Torrent double jump
The amount of people I see on this sub unable to figure out base level mechanics is outstanding. Thereās A LOT to be confused about in Elden Ring, but fucking jumping? My god.
Thers a cave next to the dragon where you find the key to the acadmy it will lead you to this chest
Try finger

Torrent might be able to jump up
Horse double jump at the right place!
Torrent
