7:40 - that enormously tall structure by the chalice is a mystery. Some have speculated that it's unfinished or that interesting events of cut content were meant to happen there. 10:52 - it's called 'hinterland' because 'hinter' is the German word for 'behind' and this area is behind the Shadow Keep. 16:56 - it's good you summoned Taylew, you got to see some nice animations. 23:38 - The Shaman Village is astounding, and your reaction shows your perceptivess to the lore that most button-mashing gaming dullards would miss. 23:54 "What's this house?" I'd like to think that's actually Marika's family's house! 30:51 - At least Ymir is polite, unlike Seluvis.
I’m glad the Shaman Village wasn’t full of enemies so I could just wander and appreciate it. I wonder if the Tree Sentinels were told to guard there or could just sense the golden-ness of the village from the remnants of Marika.
Hey man. I have been away for a long time, and you have been pumping those Elden Ring videos like crazy lately. Glad to see you're come so far! The "O Mother" gesture clue is that the statue you pray to is that of the Mother Marika, and the dev message is clearly pointing at a secret in this useless corridor... But it's really the vaguest and worst secret of all the game. 28:15 There is more to do with Anna's puppet, but it's later down Jolan's questline
I figured the Anna puppet would have to be something that comes up later. I made some… “progress” with Jolan’s quest (posting tomorrow) and I have checking back with that puppet at some point on my future check list.
The Fallingstar Beasts are vaguely resistant to all types of physical damage, and equally slightly weak to all types of elemental damage. They are vulnerable to Poison and Rot; and their white parts do take more damage and they can be staggered for a crit (unlike the Tree Sentinels). The problems you were having were mostly because a two-handed Flail just doesn't have great reach, so you just missed which also resulted in the Stance-meter decaying, so you never got to see it break for a critical attack which does have an orange glowing spot on the 'face'. It is also possible to interrupt their charge by throwing something at their head, but in this encounter you had enough space to dodge that anyway.

Thank you! I fell behind with them and (despite what feels like a sharp difficulty spike with the DLC bosses) have really been enjoying this.

That makes sense! I may need to experiment with a different two-handed striking dex weapon.
