The item you missed in belurat is a hidden room next to the 2 scorpions/elevator shortcut. You just jump over the broken building to the right of the entrance and follow the path!
Talk to the Old Lady again (after resetting at grace) while wearing the Lion Helm, and she'll give you soup. This soup you can then take to the Horn NPC who gave you the cross map and he'll give 3 of the furnace face crafting item. You can go back to her to get another soup to eat and buff yourself any number of times, but can only hold 1 at a time.
Awesome content as usual, the best TBH! quick question does the game now runs better for ps5 (60fps locked?) or does the framerate still stutters with crowds of enemies
I went to bed at 2 am just to get the download started, I woke up 3hr later literally jittering like a coke addict and squealing like a little girl ready to play, and I had to go to work later.
Wasn't sure when to drop this, since everyone seems to be downloading and playing the DLC at different release times. At any rate, try to watch this at some point after you've finished your own exploration of the first area!
Yeah. Love your stuff always and will definitely watch this after I get some more time and graces. This is everything I wanted it to be. When I first beat elden ring I went back and played the dark souls series. This feels like dark souls within elden ring. 10 out of 10 for me so far.
Igon is my favorite character in the DLC and very possibly the game, the way he delivers every line at about 160% intensity is just *chefs kiss* his dialogue during the fight is so good I want it as a tattoo
In Belurat, If you go to the right of the door with the giant scorpions in it, there’s a smaller door hidden behind the crumbled pile of bricks. It takes you to that ledge you mentioned not knowing how to get to. I believe there’s a cross and a talisman there. Edit: talisman is called Dried Bouquet for those still struggling with my poor directions
The old woman in the storeroom in Belarut simply doesn't speak to me. She just says "..." every time, never enters any dialogue. I assumed Vaati would mention some task you have to do first in order to get her to talk...but nope, she just magically seems to talk for him in this vid as though that's what's supposed to happen the first time. Something's amiss here. I tried her like 4 times and she never spoke
i love how they added an ADDITIONAL butterfly to the game for Mesmer. Makes me glad because it keeps the idea of Melina being a child of Marika and Radagon, alive. Since the one that was theorized to represent her, was the smoldering butterfly (The orange one)
1:02:03 Looking at this area, turn left and follow down the path, there will be some small scorpions about. On the right side you will see some rubble, behind that there's a door. Inside there's a cross of miquella and a bit of cool items!
You are right. like to add that you go to the dead tree where 6-7 guys are praying around it. You drop down to the left of the stairs in the direction you need to progress. You find a quite good talisman there :)
As someone who cant physically play this game, seeing lore and gameplay is valuable for me. Thank you for everyone sharing screenplay, lore, item descriptions, and beautiful scenic shots
@@nicholasrogers2046 I've got some issues with the joints and tendons in my arms and hands, so it can hurt if I do movements that are awkward, straining, or too fast. I found games like elden ring inflict that pain because of all the buttons to use for movement, menus, and abilities. Makes it tough to find games I can play for more than an hour, so I often watch others play instead
@@orionh7201 I don't know much about them and maybe you've looked into already, but you could try adaptive controllers. They're made exactly for this purpose
@@TheDadGuide there's no accessibility options for his condition, unless he would overhaul the entire game from scratch. Sadly, it's just impossible to make a game for everyone.
One small thing you missed- in front of the final waterfall before the second Furnace Golem, there's a hanging pot which drops a Bell Bearing. You can hit it from the toppled rock "bridge." There's also one hanging outside the Prospect Town.
When I first hopped in I was in awe at just how massive the map was. Basically another whole game. The verticality is something else too so it's not just wide, its dense.
Vaat's model of explaining the horrors of the Elden Ring world with his 900-thread-count voice became a staple in my life. Thanks for all the videos!!!
17:17 there's a ledge you drop down from next to the Castle Ensis Checkpoint. You head down hill to the west and drop down on the left side before the campfire spot. Land on the Square poll.
17:23 The item on the ledge can be accessed by jumping down from where the two soldiers are sitting near the checkpoint site of grace, jump down and the entrance is in the cliff face
Can't beleive they actually recreated the feeling of walking through those open doors to the lands in between again. Some of the environments gave me goosebumps
@liquidreality472 don't know what you're talking about, there's tons of enemies and the fire giant, and a secret pathway and a dungeon, idk what game you're playing
@@Mardark-e4s the one with the red area, the blue area, the fingers and the mountain. The very first area you spawn in is fine, but don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about if you've been to these areas.
@liquidreality472 the red area has 2 bosses, the wickerman and the boat man, the blue area has a dragon and several shade enemies and a dungeon, the finger ruined has enemies every few steps. What are you even on about
Have any of you noticed the lack of Farum Azula ruins scattered about? Seems to suggest that its downfall happened after the lands of shadow were removed from the lands between
@@leonardo9259 I think they're arguing that Farum Azula crumbled before Godwyn died, which is what started the spread of Deathroot. They're saying that it's interesting that there's no sign of any of the ruins of Farum Azula in the Realm of Shadow, but there is Deathroot growing there.
Its weird that you copied this comment someone else made from another video and posted here tbh. Inconsequential in the grand scheme of things but i cant help but think that people who do that have a screw loose 🤷
This was super useful! Please continue with a part 2 and more! I love how u mix in the lore, and also, because I also started playing the DLC, this video was good at pointing out locations, items I might have missed.
Vaati, the poisoned hand is low-key super strong. It has crazy high *deadly* poison (105 buildup at max with high arcane), and has the kindred of rot talisman effect baked in. So attacks get stronger as enemies are poisoned.
@@calvincampbell9815 I bet it does, but we’ll have to wait for one of those channels that tests everything on the poor sap at gate front ruins to confirm
19:33 The implications of what the helm states, especially at the end, "A small consolation to those forced to wage a war without GRACE or HONOR." These almost EXACT words were mentioned to us by Melina, using the words of Marika, talking about the Tarnished. Which means, all of Messmer's main army, the grunts, were Tarnished that had been cast out of the Lands Between and followed Godfrey (which also explains their uses of axes and their abilities - which are similar to Godfrey's). The Land of Shadow is where they were cast out TO, most of them perishing, and then eventually being re-raised back into the Lands Between as us, the modern Tarnished! This shit blew my mind when I read that description in-game, today.
The phrase "A small consolation to those forced to wage a war without GRACE or HONOR" hints that the main army, the grunts, were indeed Tarnished. These soldiers fought for Godfrey and, upon their defeat or fall from grace, were cast out of the Lands Between. This aligns with Melina's recounting of Marika's words, suggesting that the Tarnished, stripped of their grace, were condemned to fight a war devoid of honor. The Land of Shadows being the place where the Tarnished were cast out to adds depth to the lore. It's depicted as a harsh, unforgiving realm where many perished. This ordeal shaped their resilience and warrior prowess. The survivors' eventual return to the Lands Between as the modern Tarnished echoes a cycle of rebirth and redemption. This concept reinforces the themes of struggle and endurance prevalent throughout the game. The similarity in combat style between Godfrey and the Tarnished (e.g., use of axes and certain abilities) can be seen as a lingering influence of Godfrey’s training and martial traditions. It suggests that the Tarnished retain remnants of their former lives and skills, making their journey a quest to reclaim lost honor and grace. Understanding this connection enhances the player's immersion, adding layers to the Tarnished's identity and their quest. It emphasizes their role as former warriors seeking redemption. It also provides a poignant backdrop to their struggle, as they're not just aimless undead but fallen heroes striving to regain their lost glory. This interpretation could influence how players approach their character's development. They might feel a stronger connection to axes and combat styles reminiscent of Godfrey, deepening their role-playing experience. The journey from dishonor to potential redemption through defeating powerful foes and claiming the Elden Ring becomes more meaningful. The lore of the Land of Shadows adds a mysterious and grim chapter to the history of the Lands Between. Exploring or learning more about this realm could become a focal point for players interested in the game's rich storytelling.
@VelhoTheWizard The Hornsent that we meet that will actually talk to us definitely don't like us, and keep lumping us with "them," of which, as you stated, are the Tarnished that came before and laid the lands to waste.
@VelhoTheWizard Also, the old lady in the Castle talks at us as if we are truly one of Messmer's grunts, which also indicates the grunts were/are indeed Tarnished warriors.
@VelhoTheWizard I feel the Tarnished left the Lands Between AFTER they lost their golden eyes and grace. Once they got to the Land of Shadow, they were used as fodder for the machinations of Marika and Messmer, which would eventually end with them being sacrifices to the cause, as well. Far as Queeling's interpretation on the matter, he uses the word "embrace," which signifies to me that being burnt my Messmer - whether you are one of the Fire Knights or one of their many victims - is a good thing, a destined thing that should be desired.
It only just occurred to me during the rellana fight that I've never considered how Vati plays. I'm always listening to lore. Seeing vati actually play was so fun
Always love seeing Vaati just play the game casually as well. Being one of the biggest and most respected lore ccs in the soulsborne community is fun, but getting to enjoy the game in your own pace and also just seeing him play the game makes me so happy :)
@@AC-hj9tv to be fair my wake and bake was an hour prior before I made my commute LOL this was more of a "please I don't want to go in there I want to go home and play the dlc"
I just wanna say that a Boss based on a Lion dance is a _really_ cool idea. I've always had a soft spot for "puppet" bosses, but I don't think I've ever seen a costume boss like that before.
That Rellana attempt, the single hit away, the hype music, the all-or-nothing gambit, it all got me hype as hell and I felt your pain when it came so close
The Furnace Golemn's head always seems to land on the side that you hit the leg to stagger it. So if the blow that staggered him was on the left leg, his face will land on the left side.
42:26 The path to the coffin ride is at the Main Gate Plaza. exit right, and near the boats on the right is a ladder down. Follow the path down and you’ll get to the coffin
for the item on the ledge: theres a drop down where you just get a bolt. if you turn around onstead of continuing to drop down, you get to the item you asked about!
@@StephenHenryIV im headed in to work and my memory is a bit faulty but: in the area past the item vaati wondered about, it leads up to an area that at one point over looks the previous area where the building is. if you look down, there's a drop down for an item. the item is just a bolt, but if you turn around instead of dropping down, theres a short tunnel that leads to the item vaati asked about. grab it, and if you drop down and head back out of the tunnel, you end up where the bolt ledge would have dropped you
@@StephenHenryIV sorry if any of it was vague or unhelpful, i was in a fog while playing for a brief time last night so its kinda blurry, and i cant go and check bc im getting ready for work
To go to the balcony 1:01:56 go back to the place with a lot of scorpions and you will see the ruins of a building on the right (1:01:34) climb that and you will see a doorway, just follow that and it has some pretty important items on that path. Thank you for the extensive videos!!
I cannot believe we get to relive the Elden Ring experience once again! I am blown away with the first area so far, and while I can't wait to discover everything the DLC has, I kinda don't want to play so there's always more...
Be a bit on the older side and struggling with the DLC. I appreciate your videos and guides so much. Thayre so helpful in saving time and allowing me to spend more time fighting and understanding the game more. I also love how quiet you speak. Its soothing and i hope this comes across as a compliment and not offensive but i listen to your videos to help me sleep. The voice/music combo is top tier. Then i actually watch them when i wake up or before.
So when I found that jump in the Dragon Pit, my speakers were quite loud at the time, so on top of an in-game message telling me to be brave, approaching that ledge had the floors shaking with the sound of the chasm. I was actually *scared* to take that jump. Ancient Dragon Man wasn't too bad. But after that.... way after that.... 😱
17:20 The item on that ledge is a set of glintslab fireflies, 3 I think. Right after it, where there's the two guards sleeping (before the knight and the grace even), you can drop off a ledge to pick it up.
It's such a nice change of pace seeing you actually play rather than comment on the lore and the story. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love your incredible storytelling and that's what got me hooked on this channel for such a long time. However, watching you struggle to defeat bosses gives us that extra layer of relatability, to you and to this channel and that's just marvelous. Also, it's good to know that you get skewered just like the rest of us haha.
To get the item in the cave at 17:19 you need to get out of the cave and instantly take a right down a cliff, you'll have to do some ledge walking and take a right to go back in the upper area of the cave.
Omg RIP on that Rellana fight. I’ve had a couple of those experiences in the dlc. Really reminded me of my first play through of base game! I rate Rellana as one of the best fights they’ve ever made. Pontiff, artorias and Loretta all rolled into one. And the best fashion so far
His tactic is flawed. No where in his fight does the Fire Golem try to strike him with its arms, but I when I fight it, it constantly swings its arms at me, even when I am under the bastard.
@@RoninYeti Along with what the other reply said, do your best to watch for when it turns. Turning its body is an indicator that it's about to swing at you. Also technically you don't have to fight on Torrent. You can jump the fire stomps just fine on foot. You still have to run when it jumps up into the air though, and also be ready to jump.
I love the new spiral incantations because it has to be a gurren lagann reference especially when it says that it is a spiral that will PIERCE THE HEAVENS
I really love these sort of playthroughs of yours. They help me locate missing stuff, npc’s, secrets, etc… I’d really love to get this type of video for each area of the game
super minor thing, but that seamless transition at 10:16 was incredible- i thought i was having a stroke for a second :) so much work in all the small details!!
~2:10 pretty sure that's Mercy's Blade; the Ailing Talisman is found in the Abandoned Ailing Village and gives you extra resistance against whatever your most recent ailment was.
I summoned Freyja to the Belurat boss fight and she had dialogue afterwards related to fighting it with me and some dialogue about her Redmane past and how she came to follow Miquella
Damn it, I knew I should have summoned her. After having failed a dozen or so times, I managed to finish with the help of a heavily boosted Teche... If I had failed one more time, I was going to summon Freya.
@@jeremyvanauken5011 You're a better player than I then. I felt like I could barely even scratch the thing without Teche. Maybe I needed more scadu tree fragments.
@@TheodoricFriedeScadu fragments are big. I went in to the boss battle with a +5 blessing and beat him first try. I was one hit away from dying and out of healing, if I didn’t have the plus 5 I would’ve died
The talisman at the 2 min mark is the blade of mercy at the top of the building at the start. The Ailment (not ailing) talisman is the village further up near the bridge at the ailing village or whatever it is called that is very similar to that.
@@ZergliskfulYou think so? I thought as far as FromSoft dragons go he was kinda easy. The aoe lightning ancient dragon in the puddle right before him killed me much more often.
I got stuck on Rellana for 3 hours straight. I was so locked in I wouldn't stop. And yet in that whole time of crushing close victories, I wasn't having a bad time.
Same, I died like 30-40x in a row on Twitch. Ended the stream, yolo'd 2 more attempts and ofc got her off camera on the 2nd try😂 had to clip it. Point was, even though I died in that 3.5hr stream more than I ever had in base game, I was still having a fuckin blast😂😂 went in with my lv93 character
I love parrying that speedy ring-blade dancer, they're so agile and deadly like the Black Knife Assassins. The demi humans omen-like are fun to parry as well. Fast-killer giant blade swings, huge satisfaction!
1:02:04 to get there had back towards the scorpion room but instead of heading straight into that room veer right over the ruble there. There are some fallen stones you can jump over and a doorway on the other side that leads to the ledge you were looking at. If memory serves it’s a talisman called the dry bouquet.
You know, I really like this format. Instead of a detailed walkthrough, it's more like a "hey did you know about this?" I'd love to see it for the other areas. It captures that feeling of community discovery that makes this game so special.
17:15 if you jump down from the left of the camp on the right side you can grab the item below then turn again and it’s the cave opening to get the item
1:01:57 standing where you are, go left and there is a room guarded by 1 very large, 1 large and many small scorpions. Before entering there are ruins to the right. Jump over them and there is a door.
What's this about a conoction for putting dragons to sleep? Haven't watched the full video yet. Something like that would be amazing to use on Bayle... if I didn't beat him after 20 tries last night lol
@@JormyyyOnce you've met Thollier, talk to Moore the merchant and he will give you a jar of black goo. Bring this to Thollier and he will give you a vial of poison that will instakill you if you use it. You can then buy more for 30k runes. Afaik, you cant use it on Bayle but apoarently you can give it to the dragon priestess. Maybe we'll discover another use for it later.
Dunno if you know by now but you can give it to the dragon communion priestess You have to progress Igons quest further and head up the Jagged peak Give it to and she tells you she failed her god Plasicusax And you can get her as a summon Kill bayle without giving her the sleep potion and she dies but you get her heart And can turn into dragon form like in Ds3
Great video Vaati, can't wait to see what else you put out as time goes on and we explore the deepest reaches of this expansion. I keep running into all these little spots I had no idea existed and they unfold into massive areas. It's absolutely wild to see how huge this world is. I'm really curious to see someone do a comparison between the walkable square footage of the base game's overworld and the Shadow Realm.
17:16 There's a ledge you can drop to in the outdoor section after this cave that leads back in. I don't remember exactly where it is but it was like a soul and 3 fireflies, not worth backtracking for.
Thank you for doing just the first zone!! I just finished my first session and felt like I wouldn't have too many spoilers in this area now, so this is the only video I'm watching tonight!!
I think the thing everyone is missing about the Poison Hand is that it buffs poison overall. Which means you can throw this in your offhand and two-hand a poison weapon (trying the DLC whip currently and OMG) to DEVASTATING effect. I think what Miyazaki intended tho is for it to be paired with the Deadly Poison Perfumer Bottle.
Bro the man in the woods scared the shit out of me when I was playing. He was just chilling so I walked up to him thinking he was an NPC only for him to go feral on my ass. 10/10 experience
At 17:20 you have to take the hidden path leading up to the upper plateau which is behind the Main Gate Cross site of Grace, go south and you will eventually reach that item
God, watching that Rellana fight hit so close to home with my playthrough... I also went Light Greatsword but with the Wolf Crest Shield guard counter build for my main and her fight was such a blast to learn and perfect. Managed it solo no summons in the end :D So far, every boss faced in the DLC has simply been WOW. Loved each one of them despite the dozen after dozen attempts to face each one. Really gives a sense of triumph in the end. (All of thier music themes slap too!) Fantastic video as always! Learned a few secrets I was not aware about!!
I thought I explored fairly thoroughly. Less than 3 minutes in you've shown several different things I missed. I'm going to play more before I continue watching this video.
it seems like they named the sword like that because it was inspired by grrm where the name of the sword in Asoiaf book is called dark sister, widow wail, bastard sword, lady forlorn 😂
12:17 To get there, you have to drop down onto a ledge by the corner of the tower with a couple of soldiers, in the area where the knight is. Then turn around and go through a small tunnel :)
For those curious how to reach the ledge at 1:01:58 that vaati pointed out. As you go up the tower to the boss instead of going through the door go to the right and jump over some rubble to get to a doorway that leads there and also gets you a scadutree fragment and the dried bonquet talisman
1:02:06 you need to go towards the staircase-room with the scorpions. Right before you enter and the little scoprions attack, you can turn right and jump over rubble and a destroyed house/wall. There you will find a door and circle back to the location you pointed at.

This DLC is giving me that rare feeling I had as a kid being insanely excited to wake up and play again. I rarely ever feel that anymore.
Holy shit you explained what Im feeling at the moment also!

Called in sick day first time for a video game.
Kind of unrelated but I started playing Baldur's Gate 3 about 3 weeks ago and it gives me that feeling
I understand that
Wasn't sure when to drop this, since everyone seems to be downloading and playing the DLC at different release times. At any rate, try to watch this at some point after you've finished your own exploration of the first area!
I quite literally just finished up my exploration of the plains, came to youtube and saw this. Perfect timing for me thank you Vaati!
Yeah. Love your stuff always and will definitely watch this after I get some more time and graces. This is everything I wanted it to be. When I first beat elden ring I went back and played the dark souls series. This feels like dark souls within elden ring. 10 out of 10 for me so far.
Is there different endings to the dlc? The only ending to the dlc I know of rn honestly made me really sad and disappointed T^T
Could have waited at least a day or so 😂
Glad to see an upload from you! I’m excited for your DLC content. I’m enjoying the DLC on my own too.

Fav boss so far?
Messmer is pretty goated
Rellana. Nu-uh.
This dlc is just awesome. Can't wait to study deeper the lore... or watch your videos 😂
Beast claw in the main hand with a greatsword on offhand got me feeling like Blaidd.
Elden ring is just a game about a messed up family and a random person ending their bloodline

Not quite lol. Based on the Canon we could just be pissed we were banished with Godfrey and the other Tarnished.
Tanished not a random person...they all Godfrey descendants
lmao fr fr
42:24 there’s a small hanging pot visible about half way down the waterfall here - if you shoot it with an arrow it drops a special bell bearing
Theres another one hanging from the cliff on the east side of Prospect Town too!
Mushroom ahead.
It's amazing how many hidden secrets I keep reading/coming across. It's such a brilliant game
You can also drop the pots with Mohg's/Margit's Shackle and unseal the spiritsprings too

“This is my retribution Paladin build, I shoot light discs and-“

In Belurat, If you go to the right of the door with the giant scorpions in it, there’s a smaller door hidden behind the crumbled pile of bricks. It takes you to that ledge you mentioned not knowing how to get to. I believe there’s a cross and a talisman there.
Edit: talisman is called Dried Bouquet for those still struggling with my poor directions
Thanks bro

Hi Smough
Await your videos on dlc lore good sir love your stuff
ur lore videos are great smough, can't wait for more 1h+ hidden lore vids from the dlc👌
what a crossover.
Obviously, this would be a ton of work, but I would LOVE if you did this for each area in the DLC. This video was fascinating and hugely helpful!
@VaatiVidya please!
When I first hopped in I was in awe at just how massive the map was. Basically another whole game. The verticality is something else too so it's not just wide, its dense.
Feels more like Dark Souls map design, and im here for it!
Vaat's model of explaining the horrors of the Elden Ring world with his 900-thread-count voice became a staple in my life. Thanks for all the videos!!!
I love how casually he tries to talk about picking up an item while unimaginable horrors attempt to strike him lol
17:17 there's a ledge you drop down from next to the Castle Ensis Checkpoint. You head down hill to the west and drop down on the left side before the campfire spot. Land on the Square poll.
17:23 The item on the ledge can be accessed by jumping down from where the two soldiers are sitting near the checkpoint site of grace, jump down and the entrance is in the cliff face
Beat me to it :)
Thanks, got a bug :D
Can't beleive they actually recreated the feeling of walking through those open doors to the lands in between again. Some of the environments gave me goosebumps
Yeah, but to me, the beginning areas feel empty in comparison to the base game.
@liquidreality472 don't know what you're talking about, there's tons of enemies and the fire giant, and a secret pathway and a dungeon, idk what game you're playing
@@Mardark-e4s the one with the red area, the blue area, the fingers and the mountain. The very first area you spawn in is fine, but don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about if you've been to these areas.
@liquidreality472 the red area has 2 bosses, the wickerman and the boat man, the blue area has a dragon and several shade enemies and a dungeon, the finger ruined has enemies every few steps. What are you even on about
@@Mardark-e4s just delusional I guess, carry on them.
Have any of you noticed the lack of Farum Azula ruins scattered about? Seems to suggest that its downfall happened after the lands of shadow were removed from the lands between
I think it more had to do with the fact it’s not in the same dimension as the Erdtree
@@mangojpeghow is fsrum azula getting knocked down from the shelf connected to deathblight lol
@@leonardo9259 I think they're arguing that Farum Azula crumbled before Godwyn died, which is what started the spread of Deathroot.
They're saying that it's interesting that there's no sign of any of the ruins of Farum Azula in the Realm of Shadow, but there is Deathroot growing there.
(I know its been like 2 weeks but still)
Bro hasen't discovered the 2 Farum Azula locations in the DLC yet.
fromsoftware really made elden ring 2 and called it a dlc 😭
Shadow of the Erdtree is the New Vegas of Dark Souls.
it's actually not that long. in 7 hours i'm half done and im doing every single dungeon
@@FEBRIZIOtv🎉good job
Its weird that you copied this comment someone else made from another video and posted here tbh.
Inconsequential in the grand scheme of things but i cant help but think that people who do that have a screw loose 🤷
@@FEBRIZIOtv How many main bosses you defeated i.e. names because most people are no where done with first area in 6 hrs
Where you kill the dragon in the lake there is "Great katana" which is really big and has like a ichimonji kinda of move, really cool
found that, now its my new main hand lol
Where was the great katana? I killed the dragon but didn’t see it.
@@hiddenroguestudios its in front of the dragon, you dont even have to fight the dragon
The lake where the bone dragon is at? Pretty sure ive looked everywhere there and i didn't find it
@@Dung_Eater8 right in front of the dragon, maybe a bit to the right of it.
This was super useful! Please continue with a part 2 and more! I love how u mix in the lore, and also, because I also started playing the DLC, this video was good at pointing out locations, items I might have missed.
Vaati, the poisoned hand is low-key super strong. It has crazy high *deadly* poison (105 buildup at max with high arcane), and has the kindred of rot talisman effect baked in. So attacks get stronger as enemies are poisoned.
Yoo! That’s so cool. I love when weird builds like poison get some love.
Does that baked in buff stack with the talisman?
Holy
@@calvincampbell9815 I bet it does, but we’ll have to wait for one of those channels that tests everything on the poor sap at gate front ruins to confirm
You'll also find a frenzy version later in the Abyssal Woods. That one is covered in eyeballs.
19:33 The implications of what the helm states, especially at the end, "A small consolation to those forced to wage a war without GRACE or HONOR." These almost EXACT words were mentioned to us by Melina, using the words of Marika, talking about the Tarnished. Which means, all of Messmer's main army, the grunts, were Tarnished that had been cast out of the Lands Between and followed Godfrey (which also explains their uses of axes and their abilities - which are similar to Godfrey's). The Land of Shadow is where they were cast out TO, most of them perishing, and then eventually being re-raised back into the Lands Between as us, the modern Tarnished!
This shit blew my mind when I read that description in-game, today.
The phrase "A small consolation to those forced to wage a war without GRACE or HONOR" hints that the main army, the grunts, were indeed Tarnished. These soldiers fought for Godfrey and, upon their defeat or fall from grace, were cast out of the Lands Between. This aligns with Melina's recounting of Marika's words, suggesting that the Tarnished, stripped of their grace, were condemned to fight a war devoid of honor.
The Land of Shadows being the place where the Tarnished were cast out to adds depth to the lore. It's depicted as a harsh, unforgiving realm where many perished. This ordeal shaped their resilience and warrior prowess. The survivors' eventual return to the Lands Between as the modern Tarnished echoes a cycle of rebirth and redemption. This concept reinforces the themes of struggle and endurance prevalent throughout the game.
The similarity in combat style between Godfrey and the Tarnished (e.g., use of axes and certain abilities) can be seen as a lingering influence of Godfrey’s training and martial traditions. It suggests that the Tarnished retain remnants of their former lives and skills, making their journey a quest to reclaim lost honor and grace.
Understanding this connection enhances the player's immersion, adding layers to the Tarnished's identity and their quest. It emphasizes their role as former warriors seeking redemption. It also provides a poignant backdrop to their struggle, as they're not just aimless undead but fallen heroes striving to regain their lost glory.
This interpretation could influence how players approach their character's development. They might feel a stronger connection to axes and combat styles reminiscent of Godfrey, deepening their role-playing experience. The journey from dishonor to potential redemption through defeating powerful foes and claiming the Elden Ring becomes more meaningful.
The lore of the Land of Shadows adds a mysterious and grim chapter to the history of the Lands Between. Exploring or learning more about this realm could become a focal point for players interested in the game's rich storytelling.
@@ZdenekMicke69 Absolutely, thank you for expounding upon this theory!
@VelhoTheWizard The Hornsent that we meet that will actually talk to us definitely don't like us, and keep lumping us with "them," of which, as you stated, are the Tarnished that came before and laid the lands to waste.
@VelhoTheWizard Also, the old lady in the Castle talks at us as if we are truly one of Messmer's grunts, which also indicates the grunts were/are indeed Tarnished warriors.
@VelhoTheWizard I feel the Tarnished left the Lands Between AFTER they lost their golden eyes and grace. Once they got to the Land of Shadow, they were used as fodder for the machinations of Marika and Messmer, which would eventually end with them being sacrifices to the cause, as well. Far as Queeling's interpretation on the matter, he uses the word "embrace," which signifies to me that being burnt my Messmer - whether you are one of the Fire Knights or one of their many victims - is a good thing, a destined thing that should be desired.
Please make more content like this, love the guide that gives you directions without spoiling the whole process
8:44 "Oh, please. Not the jar... anything but that!"
Mini Ranni said the same
HELL NAH 😭😭😭
You didn’t have to remind me of this terror.
Oh, ong?
Based
and so did marika and the numens if you know what i mean
It only just occurred to me during the rellana fight that I've never considered how Vati plays. I'm always listening to lore. Seeing vati actually play was so fun
Always love seeing Vaati just play the game casually as well. Being one of the biggest and most respected lore ccs in the soulsborne community is fun, but getting to enjoy the game in your own pace and also just seeing him play the game makes me so happy :)
0:14 "what about this pothead?"
damn why you comin at me like that Vaati
Right? I'm just trying to start my day at work buddy don't get at me already with those accusations that are purely speculation.
I also concur. Thankfully, tis mostly legal in my state lol
To be fair, we do actually look like pot heads, just look at us
@@Phil.Anthropywake and bake son
@@AC-hj9tv to be fair my wake and bake was an hour prior before I made my commute LOL this was more of a "please I don't want to go in there I want to go home and play the dlc"
I just wanna say that a Boss based on a Lion dance is a _really_ cool idea. I've always had a soft spot for "puppet" bosses, but I don't think I've ever seen a costume boss like that before.
That Rellana attempt, the single hit away, the hype music, the all-or-nothing gambit, it all got me hype as hell and I felt your pain when it came so close
Losing those all in gambles are the most soul crushing experience I've had in this game so far. I can think of nothing worse 😂🤬😖
Vaati's voice is just so soothing and calm that it makes me even more intrigued in the lore
Yesss his voice is definitely at least 30% of the appeal of this channel. I let him read me lore while I work lol
Yesss his voice is 30% of why I prefer his channel. I put his videos on and just listen to the lore while I work
Yall fruity or sum
At this point Vaati could make it big on ASMR if he runs out of crumbs from fromsoft 😂
The Furnace Golemn's head always seems to land on the side that you hit the leg to stagger it. So if the blow that staggered him was on the left leg, his face will land on the left side.
like any other golem/troll
42:26 The path to the coffin ride is at the Main Gate Plaza. exit right, and near the boats on the right is a ladder down. Follow the path down and you’ll get to the coffin
I don't think that's the same place the spirit is referencing with the dialogue weirdly
@@matttritton2354 i kinda hope you’re right! works love to find another ride in the dlc
@@telerye I'm guessing it's referencing a dungeon in the south of the map, I won't say more for spoilers sake
@@matttritton2354 At the top of that mountain? haven’t made progress there.
@@telerye No I think hes hinting at another one to the very south.
for the item on the ledge: theres a drop down where you just get a bolt. if you turn around onstead of continuing to drop down, you get to the item you asked about!
Where do you drop down? Can you be specific please?
@@StephenHenryIV im headed in to work and my memory is a bit faulty but: in the area past the item vaati wondered about, it leads up to an area that at one point over looks the previous area where the building is. if you look down, there's a drop down for an item. the item is just a bolt, but if you turn around instead of dropping down, theres a short tunnel that leads to the item vaati asked about. grab it, and if you drop down and head back out of the tunnel, you end up where the bolt ledge would have dropped you
@@NeverBeenElsewhere thanks!
@@StephenHenryIV sorry if any of it was vague or unhelpful, i was in a fog while playing for a brief time last night so its kinda blurry, and i cant go and check bc im getting ready for work
@@NeverBeenElsewhere Perfect description. I just came back to leave the same info myself. But as you've nailed it I won't repeat. GG mate.
That Rellana attempt! So good. Can't believe you used the blessing!
To go to the balcony 1:01:56 go back to the place with a lot of scorpions and you will see the ruins of a building on the right (1:01:34) climb that and you will see a doorway, just follow that and it has some pretty important items on that path. Thank you for the extensive videos!!
Yeah hopefully he sees this cause there's something important back there.
Question: Did you guys find a part of Miquellas Flesh/Flower there at the Cross? Because everywhere else there seemed to be one, but not there.
@@gamersreactions9267 there's no emperyan flower there at the cross in that room. (Unless I missed it) There is a tree blessing though.
What's great, is I can watch all of this, be amazed, immediately forget half of it and act like I am seeing it for the first time when I play! 😁
Yeah I just finished watching Gino play the first part but it's always so interesting seeing how everyone explores so differently
If only the smoothbrained npcs constantly spewing “no spoilerz” before launch had this affliction…
@@SecretMarsupial I mean, that's pretty toxic but okay lol
that rellana figt was still sick!!
32:52 the voice acting is phenomenal!!
YOOO. That fight with Rellana had me on the edge of my seat! 😂
I cannot believe we get to relive the Elden Ring experience once again! I am blown away with the first area so far, and while I can't wait to discover everything the DLC has, I kinda don't want to play so there's always more...
Be a bit on the older side and struggling with the DLC. I appreciate your videos and guides so much. Thayre so helpful in saving time and allowing me to spend more time fighting and understanding the game more. I also love how quiet you speak. Its soothing and i hope this comes across as a compliment and not offensive but i listen to your videos to help me sleep. The voice/music combo is top tier. Then i actually watch them when i wake up or before.
That Rellana fight had my jaw on the floor by the end of it... my heart bled so hard for you watching that my guy 😢
I beat her a few hours ago, such a cool fight. Love the moon hopping. Took me a few tries solo. Stage II is no joke.
My jaw dropped at that part.
I need help beating her shes so damn tanky she moves like the dancer from dark souls 3 and does the twin magic swords like pontiff
@@brandoncolon1160Finding an opening on her second phase was extremely difficult for me so I just gambled and went for staggers.
@@CICM_920 how tho she has insane poise
Why must this masterpiece drop in the wee hours of the morning
it dropped for me at 6pm last night, great timing for me
@@rekkagaming4086East Coast 🔛🔝
So when I found that jump in the Dragon Pit, my speakers were quite loud at the time, so on top of an in-game message telling me to be brave, approaching that ledge had the floors shaking with the sound of the chasm. I was actually *scared* to take that jump.
Ancient Dragon Man wasn't too bad. But after that.... way after that.... 😱
CURSE YOU BAYLEEEEEEEE
16:17 "if you're in a situation where you need a wee" if that's what's in the bottles, they're cursed apothacaries indeed.
17:20 The item on that ledge is a set of glintslab fireflies, 3 I think. Right after it, where there's the two guards sleeping (before the knight and the grace even), you can drop off a ledge to pick it up.
Yup I got it last night
I wonder if he ended up finding the way down to this item...
If not I'd be glad to give a more detailed explanation👍
It's such a nice change of pace seeing you actually play rather than comment on the lore and the story. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love your incredible storytelling and that's what got me hooked on this channel for such a long time. However, watching you struggle to defeat bosses gives us that extra layer of relatability, to you and to this channel and that's just marvelous. Also, it's good to know that you get skewered just like the rest of us haha.
1:01:56 the entrance is to the right of the entrance of the room with the scorpions and bone bow.
Came here to say this. You have to jump over a bit of rubble, it's a little obscured
Yep. Jump over the rubble to the right and there is a big room. nice surprises there, too;)
You're a godsend. Thank you!
To get the item in the cave at 17:19 you need to get out of the cave and instantly take a right down a cliff, you'll have to do some ledge walking and take a right to go back in the upper area of the cave.
Omg RIP on that Rellana fight. I’ve had a couple of those experiences in the dlc. Really reminded me of my first play through of base game!
I rate Rellana as one of the best fights they’ve ever made. Pontiff, artorias and Loretta all rolled into one. And the best fashion so far
"In the distance we can see what's called a Furnace Golem. Let me show you how to kill it."
You handsome devil
Of all the people to teach me how to defeat this thing, my favorite loretuber was not my first guess.
His tactic is flawed. No where in his fight does the Fire Golem try to strike him with its arms, but I when I fight it, it constantly swings its arms at me, even when I am under the bastard.
@@Pseudowudoh His tactic don't work, bruh.
@@RoninYeti stay behind the right leg). it only attacks with its left arm and wont be able to hit you
@@RoninYeti Along with what the other reply said, do your best to watch for when it turns. Turning its body is an indicator that it's about to swing at you. Also technically you don't have to fight on Torrent. You can jump the fire stomps just fine on foot. You still have to run when it jumps up into the air though, and also be ready to jump.
Vaati, the game was only released a day ago, yet you already make a 1 hour video of the things we missed.
Salute, brother.
he's a content creator, their privilege he was prob playing the dlc a month ago
This is by far the best kind of way to do such a walkthrough video for a recently released game. Thanks !
I love the new spiral incantations because it has to be a gurren lagann reference especially when it says that it is a spiral that will PIERCE THE HEAVENS
what incantation (name pls) do you mean? would like to check it out without being spoiled about the rest of them. thx :)
If You only know 😊
I really love these sort of playthroughs of yours.
They help me locate missing stuff, npc’s, secrets, etc…
I’d really love to get this type of video for each area of the game
super minor thing, but that seamless transition at 10:16 was incredible- i thought i was having a stroke for a second :) so much work in all the small details!!
~2:10 pretty sure that's Mercy's Blade; the Ailing Talisman is found in the Abandoned Ailing Village and gives you extra resistance against whatever your most recent ailment was.
I summoned Freyja to the Belurat boss fight and she had dialogue afterwards related to fighting it with me and some dialogue about her Redmane past and how she came to follow Miquella
Damn it, I knew I should have summoned her.
After having failed a dozen or so times, I managed to finish with the help of a heavily boosted Teche... If I had failed one more time, I was going to summon Freya.
@@TheodoricFriedehonestly I wanted to just do one solo try to see the fight before summoning, but I beat it on the first go 😅
@@jeremyvanauken5011 You're a better player than I then. I felt like I could barely even scratch the thing without Teche. Maybe I needed more scadu tree fragments.
@@TheodoricFriedeScadu fragments are big. I went in to the boss battle with a +5 blessing and beat him first try. I was one hit away from dying and out of healing, if I didn’t have the plus 5 I would’ve died
@@TheodoricFriede I beat it first try; don't ask me how.
The talisman at the 2 min mark is the blade of mercy at the top of the building at the start. The Ailment (not ailing) talisman is the village further up near the bridge at the ailing village or whatever it is called that is very similar to that.
And so the lore drops begins!
That's the only reason I'm here.
so glad you're covering everything again so soon!
*Igon talking about Bayle* "I think it's this little dude over here!"

Oh Vaati. Poor Vaati.
The fact that Bayle can chokeslam Midir and Placi at the same time before casually smiting you.
@@ZergliskfulYou think so? I thought as far as FromSoft dragons go he was kinda easy. The aoe lightning ancient dragon in the puddle right before him killed me much more often.
@@dreamz1417still haven’t beat this one, but Igon persevering off pure spite was enough for me to do the same. CURSE YOU BAYLE!!
@@troysmith5054 God I love Igon, best new character for sure
I'll have nightmares about the Bayle fight for the rest of my life
I got stuck on Rellana for 3 hours straight. I was so locked in I wouldn't stop. And yet in that whole time of crushing close victories, I wasn't having a bad time.
She refuses to stop attacking, at least bayle had openings paired with his undodgeable attacks
Same, I died like 30-40x in a row on Twitch. Ended the stream, yolo'd 2 more attempts and ofc got her off camera on the 2nd try😂 had to clip it. Point was, even though I died in that 3.5hr stream more than I ever had in base game, I was still having a fuckin blast😂😂 went in with my lv93 character
i got stuck on the lion dance boss, rellana was easier for me
@@mattnsg13 dodge towards him, and stay near his intersection
Renella was breaking her iron boot on my cheecks for 2 hours. Tried everything til I saw that she didn't like lightning. 2 tries and she dropped
I love parrying that speedy ring-blade dancer, they're so agile and deadly like the Black Knife Assassins. The demi humans omen-like are fun to parry as well. Fast-killer giant blade swings, huge satisfaction!
1:02:04 to get there had back towards the scorpion room but instead of heading straight into that room veer right over the ruble there. There are some fallen stones you can jump over and a doorway on the other side that leads to the ledge you were looking at. If memory serves it’s a talisman called the dry bouquet.
You know, I really like this format. Instead of a detailed walkthrough, it's more like a "hey did you know about this?"
I'd love to see it for the other areas. It captures that feeling of community discovery that makes this game so special.
17:15 if you jump down from the left of the camp on the right side you can grab the item below then turn again and it’s the cave opening to get the item
1:01:57 standing where you are, go left and there is a room guarded by 1 very large, 1 large and many small scorpions. Before entering there are ruins to the right. Jump over them and there is a door.
thank you thank you THANK YOU for actually showing the furnace golem fight dude ive been looking for footage for ages!!!!!!!!
There's a way to one shot it pretty much.
I'll leave it there....
"This concoction can coax even the oldest of dragons to sleep". Perhaps even Bayle the Dread...
What's this about a conoction for putting dragons to sleep? Haven't watched the full video yet. Something like that would be amazing to use on Bayle... if I didn't beat him after 20 tries last night lol
@@JormyyyOnce you've met Thollier, talk to Moore the merchant and he will give you a jar of black goo. Bring this to Thollier and he will give you a vial of poison that will instakill you if you use it. You can then buy more for 30k runes. Afaik, you cant use it on Bayle but apoarently you can give it to the dragon priestess. Maybe we'll discover another use for it later.
Dunno if you know by now but you can give it to the dragon communion priestess
You have to progress Igons quest further and head up the Jagged peak
Give it to and she tells you she failed her god Plasicusax
And you can get her as a summon
Kill bayle without giving her the sleep potion and she dies but you get her heart
And can turn into dragon form like in Ds3
I can't wait for your video on Bayle the Dread and Igon
from someone who doesnt have enough time to play video games right now thank you for making this vid
I love this video. Please do a whole video series of your dlc playthrough, this is a great digestible blend of your insight and a regular let's play
Great video Vaati, can't wait to see what else you put out as time goes on and we explore the deepest reaches of this expansion. I keep running into all these little spots I had no idea existed and they unfold into massive areas. It's absolutely wild to see how huge this world is.
I'm really curious to see someone do a comparison between the walkable square footage of the base game's overworld and the Shadow Realm.
17:16 There's a ledge you can drop to in the outdoor section after this cave that leads back in. I don't remember exactly where it is but it was like a soul and 3 fireflies, not worth backtracking for.
Thank you for doing just the first zone!! I just finished my first session and felt like I wouldn't have too many spoilers in this area now, so this is the only video I'm watching tonight!!
I think the thing everyone is missing about the Poison Hand is that it buffs poison overall. Which means you can throw this in your offhand and two-hand a poison weapon (trying the DLC whip currently and OMG) to DEVASTATING effect. I think what Miyazaki intended tho is for it to be paired with the Deadly Poison Perfumer Bottle.
Been playing for 3 hours now. Im loving it thanks for the pointers!
Bro the man in the woods scared the shit out of me when I was playing. He was just chilling so I walked up to him thinking he was an NPC only for him to go feral on my ass. 10/10 experience
I really Love this type of content from you Vaati had so much fun exploring together!!
I love that you’re commissioning actual artists for your videos. Amazing lore video as always. ❤
At 17:20 you have to take the hidden path leading up to the upper plateau which is behind the Main Gate Cross site of Grace, go south and you will eventually reach that item
God, watching that Rellana fight hit so close to home with my playthrough... I also went Light Greatsword but with the Wolf Crest Shield guard counter build for my main and her fight was such a blast to learn and perfect. Managed it solo no summons in the end :D
So far, every boss faced in the DLC has simply been WOW. Loved each one of them despite the dozen after dozen attempts to face each one. Really gives a sense of triumph in the end. (All of thier music themes slap too!)
Fantastic video as always! Learned a few secrets I was not aware about!!
I thought I explored fairly thoroughly. Less than 3 minutes in you've shown several different things I missed. I'm going to play more before I continue watching this video.
52:52 you know what!? **un-ciphers your pata**
Waiting for your videos to drop is sheer torture! 😮💨
Whoever had the idea to make a sword called "Milady" speaks to the meme part of my soul.
it seems like they named the sword like that because it was inspired by grrm where the name of the sword in Asoiaf book is called dark sister, widow wail, bastard sword, lady forlorn 😂
been searching for a head piece and an emote to go with it. *tips fedora*
The consumables only build’s are getting much needed love, nice to see
I was excited to see a stronger version of the warming stone. Sadly, your mimic tear won't use it.
@@Svoorhout85 It will use Marika's Blessing if you have it in your inventory, however
12:17 To get there, you have to drop down onto a ledge by the corner of the tower with a couple of soldiers, in the area where the knight is. Then turn around and go through a small tunnel :)
Don’t you dare tempt me with your melodious voice! I will play this blind!
I much prefer this style of video, as it gives us a chance to watch along as we’re playing, without spoiling later stuff!
For those curious how to reach the ledge at 1:01:58 that vaati pointed out. As you go up the tower to the boss instead of going through the door go to the right and jump over some rubble to get to a doorway that leads there and also gets you a scadutree fragment and the dried bonquet talisman
The Ailing Talisman isn’t found in the Scorched Ruins, you’re thinking of the Blade of Mercy talisman.
Yeah the ailing talisman is in the poison swamp area you get through the sewers right?
@@DarrieusJohnI think it’s in the ailing village actually, to the west of the castle.
Can’t wait for the lore
1:02:06 you need to go towards the staircase-room with the scorpions. Right before you enter and the little scoprions attack, you can turn right and jump over rubble and a destroyed house/wall. There you will find a door and circle back to the location you pointed at.
Just throwing a thought out.
Maybe you can use Thiollier's Concoction on Bayle when you fight him since he is an ancient dragon.
Or inside a dream. Of death.
