Elden Ring Deep Dive! (Before Shadow of the ErdTree)

⚔️ OSW's FOUR PART Elden Ring deep dive in one gigantic video! We thought it'd be cool to just drop it all in one go and let ye work through it at your own pace. Don't watch it in one sitting you madman! 👍 Please thumbs up the vid, it really helps us out 👍 💥 A note about spoilers: We dissect every aspect of the main game (so, spoilers) and zero about the DLC (we're going in blind ourselves). I wouldn't worry about spoilers though as there's not much "plot" to the game, unlike TLOU/the new God of War etc. The joy of the game is in playing in the world built, rather than the cutscenes. 📚 This is the first Deep Dive that OOC joins us with! He got the game from V1, who gave it to me, and we'd all so many thoughts & feelings about the game we felt it important to cover. OOC came packing, with his own sections!
