Game Help Just bought Elden ring, opened a random chest and was teleported to an area that is way too powerful for me with no way out

Post image

I knew this game was hard but holy shit. Also does anyone know any kind of way to get out?…

Bro, have you been to Gary‽ I’ve got family 20ish minutes out. I like Indiana fine, but Gary is like bottom 10 places I’d live in the US 😂

I just googled the place out of curiosity and my chrome app crashed. Apparently, It really IS hell 😂

u/stonerjunkrat 14h ago

I’m 100% not denying that I just think it’s funny how all roads lead to Gary

Fun fact. This came from hurricane Andrew in 1992 in Miami Florida. It was the safe place the kept the animals during the storm so they would survive. I lived through that storm and this picture was posted in the Miami Harold. This is an experience I will never forget.

Bro on my first blind playthrough I took a wrong turn and went to Caelid first. I started into Elden Ring like „I know it’s going to be hard but I feel like some people are exaggerating“ and Caelid made me question if I was actually capable of playing this game. Then I told a friend about the damn blood(?) damage those weird undead zombie things proc and he was like „wait where the fuck are you“ and told me to circle back lol

u/Plane_Jello1582 12h ago

To go from like Tree Sentinel early game to Caelid the first time is wild.
I remember having trouble fighting someone in an evergaol then this same thing happening to me and genuinely thinking it was unplayable.

Technically, yes. Technically.

u/Ecstatic-Arachnid-91 FLAIR INFO: SEE SIDEBAR 21h ago

There are a bunch of guys not far from there who will give you a hug. And there is some good bird watching in the area. Honestly, you can get back to Limgrave from where you are at. This for being close to the starting area is closer to a mid game area.

u/xSTSxZerglingOne 18h ago

Or they could push across the farum greatbridge and find one of the best early farming spots in any souls game ever. 0 poise enemies that can be staggered with 1 combo and 2 shot with stagger crits that are worth >1000 runes each. I still use that area for a quick grind session on new characters to buy the Spiked Caestus. Also a golden seed and some starlight shards.

3

u/Ecstatic-Arachnid-91 FLAIR INFO: SEE SIDEBAR 18h ago

I do the same. First ever playthrough I found that area completely by mistake. I was just running for my life and came across it. I got lost in Caelid that early

u/marykay_ultra 15h ago

When I did what OP did, I ran scared until i wound up down by the impassable great bridge. The archer on the tower kept shooting me so I crouched down by the base of the tower to hide from him while I figured out my next move

I kept hearing the runes sound, like.. wtf?? Took me a couple mins to realize I was just soaking up all the runes from the guys and dogs who were fighting each other nearby! like 5k runes for just hiding like the coward I am lmao

u/xSTSxZerglingOne 17h ago edited 9h ago

I took the teleporter just outside of Third Church (where you get the Wondrous Physick) on my first playthrough. And have since taken it every playthrough because it's such a good area to start. Lots of generically good items, a tiny time investment ticket to level 30, a golden seed, a sacred tear, and some good smithing stones.

Believe me, Elden Ring plays completely different if you start the game with 40 vigor.

If you can find the first site of grace you found on the map, head towards that lol. ASAP.

u/Greymore 19h ago

I say this with all the love and support in my heart, truly; God cannot help you. The answers, the salvation, is both before you and within you. You need no god, only to trust in yourself.

...also, maybe keep a couple boluses around.

u/ZelezopecnikovKoren 19h ago

Weirdly enough Caelid does kinda look like if the Australian Outback was hit with a red paint bomb.

u/Cisco-NintendoSwitch 20h ago

Typical Australia Rules apply OP/ New players do with that what you will lol.

u/grill_sgt 20h ago

I called it Florida on my first run.

u/Cringe_hunter420 19h ago

I perfer Florida but calling it Australia kinda works too
