ELDEN RING runs worse on Xbox Series S than it does on Switch 2.
This is not yet the tutorial video that I’m working on, it’s just unedited raw footage of three hours of gameplay on the Series S.
As you can see, the game frequently “stutters” on Series S and that is something that NEVER happened on Switch 2 in over 220 hours of gameplay on the smaller console.
It’s quite embarrassing for From Software how bad the Series S port is in comparison.
In my next video, I will share with you what I’ve learned about building up the weakest – but actually best – character class into something that will eventually be able to slay a God in Elden Ring and to win the (base) game: The Wretch.
The Wretch is the only class that starts at level one, in her underwear, with only a club.
The most miserable class in Elden Ring.
And thus the only class that perfectly fits into what the game is, which makes The Wretch the only class worth playing.
I will show you where to find the tools to allow her to survive and how to get to the first rune farm.
You will learn whom you need to kill to get the very first staff, where to find the weapon that I slew the Elden Beast with: The Crystal Sword, how to get the Clawmark Seal that will eventually allow you to use strong incantation like the Rot Breath, where to find the much more powerful Meteorite Staff and where the first legit rune farm (that is not exploiting a glitch in the software) is located and that will make your life so much easier in the beginning of the game.
And if you manage to slay enough enemies, you might even find some clothes to wear along the way.
But all of that will be worthless if you don’t have the grit to grind your way through the game and if you can’t handle the frustration and the extreme challenges that the game constantly throws at you.
This is not a game that I will EVER recommend to anybody.
But if you catch the Elden Ring bug and have not played the game before, my next video might be useful for you. Just give me some time to replay the initial sections myself and compile the footage for you.
