This episode focused on the Village of the Albuinaurics and some of the steps involved in getting part of the medallion which will lead to the Haligtree area and a bunch of hidden trophy bosses so It's definitely an important one. We also continue a few other NPC questlines and get one of my personal favorite weapons, the Nightrider Glaive. We also make a slight detour to snag our +5 sombering upgrade.
Yo cowboy.. so maybe you can help I've been doing you walk-through every day I don't go ahead. Yet nephali is not at the round table. She was then she wasn't
At 6:00 instead of taking a right and running up that cliff, if you go straight and head under that big archway, there is a shiny. Gives you the Ash of War: Vow of the Indomitable. Just in case anyone is interested! Also, big thanks to @FightinCowboy for all this content. These walkthroughs much take so much work
Have played about 40 hours going from random quest line to random quest line. Finally decided to start over and rerun through the game with these walkthroughs and HOLY CRAP I missed a ton of stuff. Thank you so much for putting in time to make these very thorough walkthroughs. Can't wait to plat this game. Appreciate it cowboy!
P.S: If you don’t see Naphali at the round table, that means your game has a glitch. Go to the village of albinaurics and come back to the round table and she will be there 🙏🏼🤘🏽 hope this helped all my gamers who suffer with all the bs I do lol
I am using steel wire torch to blow an aoe fire. Because the fire remains for about 2sec after using the skill, you can actually blow it earlier to catch the ball. Try it.
It's timing. You have to swing when the visible mark is further away from you. You have to factor in the lag in the controls especially with a heavy weapon like Bloodhounds's Fang.
God, I adore this game. There are so many little details. Like how the crabs near the capital who feast above Godwyn's tomb have his image on their backs, indicating that they are tainted by him. Chills, man. The storytelling in this gives me chills.
Hey just a head's up to everybody before you level up the Letenna. She is a Turret style Summon, which means she is stationary. Where you Summon her, is where she stays. That being said, she fires 3 arrows in fast succession, which not only does good chip damage, it is great for Agro. So, if you can find clever spots to place her, where she is out of harms way, she can be one of the most useful summons there is, but if it's a wide open fight and she isn't protected, she will be outta there fast.
Thanks! After solo playing DS, DS1, DS2, DS3, and BB I was about to give up on this one. It feels too spread out. I miss the focused experience of all those other games. Thanks for making these videos. I'm finally at a point where I enjoy the game.
Just wanted to give another quick shout-out to you as I learned during this series that you're a father now. First of all congrats cowboy! I'm happy for you and secondly I wanted to express as a fellow dad how grateful I am for your walkthrough! Your work is helping all of us whose time is limited taking care of little ones. I don't know how TF you do it but I see you bro! 👍
I was thinking this exact comment! Just started Elden ring as my first souls game and as a dad this series has been monumentally helpful in maximizing game time and enjoyability.
Same here brother! I became a dad a month or so before the game's release and cowboy has been such a huge help in guiding me through this amazing game. I've been following cowboys walkthroughs for FromSoft games since DS1 and he never disappoints!
Things are going so much differently in my playthrough! I’ve been staying a few bosses ahead of this just so I can still have the wonder of my maiden voyage. I can’t stress enough how great this guide is, but the game is so diverse to choice I would highly recommend using this as a resource instead of a roadmap. I’m playing my own game and returning to see if I missed anything I want. Best of both worlds. Thanks for this
@@mihirp30 Yep, that's why you either follow this guide, or read every NPC questline on FextraWIki so that you don't mess up. Or If you have no life then play the game twice.
@@medzoPuh nah dont worry, i thought i rested at the volcano manor but the grace after the double vigins apparently doesnt count as volcano manor so i didnt miss anything
anyone struggling to get the invisible balls, get on your horse stand where hes already been (so that way you know hes gonna go over that same exact spot) and just charge r2 he just runs straight into it
This is my first souls game and I’ll admit when I first started this game I was not too pleased with it. After finding your channel and walkthrough (16 episodes in) this has helped me immensely and now I thoroughly enjoy this game. Thank you for the content.
I ALMOST was enjoying myself up to this point. Now I am on the omenkiller which isn't even a hard boss, I am just horrible at combat so I think I need to play something else after spending all this time trying to figure out how to possibly be good at these games 😂
I’ve been doing the same ! I’m 55 hours in and really haven’t done half the bosses apparently 😂 so going back and doing the stuff I missed is awesome since I can destroy the early stuff
This game is full of surprises, I’m doing a blind play through and up to almost 75 hrs and every time I watch cowboy videos. I realised I missed so much .
That moment when you started following the walkthrough and finally catch up....feel so lost in this game without someone pointing me in the right direction lol
For the invisible rolly boys, use glinstone phalanx and stand on their incoming path. The swords should hone in on the thing, so all you gotta do is just stand there and face his incoming direction.
A good method for anyone stuggling against mounted enemies, fight them on foot and hang around on the opposite side of their weapon arm. You can whale on them when they are swinging on the wrong side. Ive taken down many dark nights from early game using this method, punching well above my weight. Even took out golden knight boy doing this right at the beginning.
One of the best walkthroughs out there! One part that I found left me wanting was a lack of path to grab regular smithing stones to get your weapon on par with the somber weapons. Makes it harder to keep up when your strongest weapon is only +7 at best.
Cowboy I noticed you missed the dagger that’s next to the guy hiding in the pot. It’s behind the grave tomb. Just in case anybody wants a pretty cool and decent dagger make sure to check behind the tomb next to the albanauric who pops out of the pot who gives you that coin.
Hey cowboy awesome walkthroughs they are helping me a bunch. I found a trick with those invisible scarabs if you use your bow and use the aim feature and stand in their path and fire you'll hit them every time. I hope this makes things easier on you and your film time.
the latenna summon is really cool if youre in an area with dire wolves she will mount one so she can move around riding it!!! otherwise she is kinda like a turret and will always stay in the spot u summon her so best to put her in a good spot
I told my better half you're a genius because even if I had notes it would be near impossible for me to make a walk through. So, Thank you for all the hard work.
Thank you for another jam-packed episode. I will be grabbing that somber 5 as soon as I get off work. I also like halberds but suck at using them. Looking at some other comments makes me realize that some folks want you to answer a lot of questions they could just look up themselves. Cowboy does so much work for us so do some for yourselves.
I just have to say as I rerererewatch this video(because I love to have this video in the background as I play)… last year was so fun going through this last year. These games are the best!
Massive thanks to Cowboy for thease videos, I already completed the game once but didn't realise how much I missed loving this series so far can't wait to watch them all and have as much stuff as you do
I just finished the Academy of Raya Lucaria with Bloodhound's Fang +5 and damn this thing is ridiculous. Radagon's wolf done in less than 20 seconds, Rennala obliterated too.
It is, but a Paladin build with a +5 Golden Halberd on STR - FAI is even stronger. I think STR - FAI is overall stronger in all cases than Quality build.
@@ItsJustVV So is Dex/faith at least with the Winged Scythe. With both at +5 Winged is doing over 100 more damage than Bloodhound Fang, though it is split physical/holy it also has one of the best weapon arts in the game
@@ItsJustVV I save-scummed to respec without losing the item (name is eluding me) and you're right, Golden Halberd is great. So now I've started a str/fai character to main this weapon. It drops from the knight boss at the start of the game, right?
At 9:32 at the tomb next to the guy there is a item under a branch going against the tomb called the Ivory Sickle. It’s a slash/pierce type if you wanna know Edit: forgot to mention if you look against the back of the tomb there is a faint light. That is the item
If Nepheli is missing speak to her father Gideon. He will be one of the npc standing around the round table at the table of lost grace, rest and she should appear at the location cb showed in a few videos back.
At this point I'm not leveled as id like to be even following the walkthrough but eben though to what you are fighting cowboy so do u know of any good farming spots other than the ball rolling off the cliff for 1900 souls/ruin?
22:04 - Correction, it doesn't restore health if your health is "very low" it restores health while your health is reduced. Which can only be achieved by the death bed companion afaik.
Stupid question, I have followed since the start but may have missed something, iam playing on pc, how do you strike, then simultaneously flip back, thanks
The guy you fought at 27:07 you can fight him on your horse I found that to be pretty quick and easy and I've been following your walkthroughs for the most part
A little tip for making the invisible dung Beatles easier. Equip Rogier's Rapier and use the sword's ability then press the lock on button. It should kill them for you
I did a blind run through Altus plateau and probably triggered the festival disappearing from redmane Castle. However, I found out that you can respawn everything talking to the NPC on Redmane castle itself.
At 23:14, Sir Gideon Ofnir doesn't say the "Ah, yes, by way of apology" section and then at 23:19, doesn't offer the "about secret medallions" section. I've been following this walkthrough from episode 1 and everything trigger up until this point so not sure what I've missed here? Edit: If this happens to anyone else, open your map and reload the Roundtable Hold (quitting and reloading doesn't work), talk to him again and he will bring up this section.
The spear talisman, any piercing attack that interrupts an enemies attack animation gets a %15 or so damage bonus. As a spear user I see this all the time with the "shield up and poke" tactic but it works for any weapon with pierce damage if you use the peirce attack to interrupt an enemy attack, including arrows, thrusting swords, the Rusted Anchor, Pickaxe, the lucerne running light attack and it's ash of war etc.
as a note: while it doesn't get you anything, if you go back to Village of Albinaurics and summon Latenna in front of Albus (the guy who gave you the medallion piece). Latenna will kneel in front of him, Albus will murmur something and then die.
Just a heads up I can vouch for clinging bone I used it as a secondary it's great for topping off your health from little dudes when your health is low and at plus ten the amount of health you gain is amazing obviously if your following along with the guide it'll be awhile and id level up bloodhounds fang first followed by the clinging bone he doesn't think it's great but it's all personal preference
I have already killed radahn then I found your walkthrough and found out I've missed out on so much. So I've started to follow and now on this episode you said your going to do other stuff before fighting radahn. Since I have already beaten him does that effect the mpc spawns or any quest for the platinum?
I was wondering that too? What I gathered from the internet you can unlock the other things by killing the boss and talking to a NPC but I am not sure though
I'm the same.. have already killed radahn, not sure if it'll effect platinum but I've played ahead of these episodes and have notice some of the npc's spawning for cowboy haven't spawned for me or are in other locations
@fightincowboy what episode did you pick up the clawmark seal in cause I missed it apparently 😕 I went into the comments to look at your overview of the episode and its not mentioned in any of them I know you have it when you go through folk hero dungeon
I have Lion's Claw on the Gutz sword now, and I got the Bloodhound Knight stuck in a stun loop with it as soon as he attacked me, apparently you get Godly poise with it, and I cycled through it four times and literally beat him into the ground. He never got off a lick. Pretty cool. Try it.
Is there something I’m missing? I’ve been following along with this since the beginning but his stats are higher than mine in every way. I’m even 2 levels above him
I have been trying to follow your leveling as best as I could, but when you suggested heal I was thrown for a loop. I haven't touched my faith at all, when did you gain enough faith for i incantations?
The sword of night and flame (the crazy strong weapon you where talking about at 29:20) was nerfed hard, it used to deal 1200+ base with its special now it deals 800 with a twice as long cast speed as of the latest patch 1.03 it's 110% pure garbage now. I was originally using sword of night and flame with golden seal leveling into intellect and faith but after the nerf it ruined the entire build and I had to start a fresh.
I have followed every step in this walkthrough and.. Nepheli was gone after Godrick until I made it through the cave with the bloodhound fang boss. If anyone else has this issue, keep proceeding till this point and then backtrack to her other locations to catch up the dialogue. Great vids also Cowboy!
When you defeated Godrick and can’t nepheli in the roundtable just go talk to gideon get out of the roundtable and go immediately back nepheli will be there
Another means of taking on the crystal enemies at the beginning of the episode is activate barricade shield, take their hit then guard counter, rinse and repeat. I didn't even have to upgrade the Morning Star.
How is your character 2 levels lower than mine, you 48 & me 50, but you have more of every stat than I do? I picked the same stating class & have been following the walkthrough...
I started with a Grave scythe and it is awesome. I picked up another one and just started deleting bosses. Got a lady Frieda thing going on. My jump attack will one shot in PvP as well.
@@SirGuidemere91 you can farm them from grave sites. The best place is right outside "Lake-facing cliffs" in liurnia there are three that spawn there at a time who all carry it
@@SirGuidemere91 make sure to put frost on them as soon as you can and not only will you get the the bleed HP reduction frost has one too so..like I said you'll be deleting bosses and if they are still alive the frost five a 20% dmg boost
@@douglasoakley4408 that’s what I have on my +13 cold scythe right now. I love it but if the grave scythe is stronger. Man. Even better! Thanks for the tip!
I´ve been doing all the things that you said in your guide the only thing that I don't have the same is when im in my ashes of war I only have option of standard and the effect of the ashes of war, im missing heavy, keen and Quality.¿Do you know why do I have this issue? Thanks!
The invisible ball can be easily gotten using the Meteoric Blade. Just do the skill strike to the ground as soon as the ball comes within close proximity and the special attack will render you the prize.
Hey Cowboy great job man!! Used your walkthroughs for a bunch of games. I have a quick question though. I've been following along on this walk-through and with Nepheli I think I messed up and didn't finish her dialog out when we first encounter her and she's not in the library. Question is where is she? So that way I can complete her quest. Thanks
me ether and i know i havent messed up i followed this guide from the bigining also hardly any of my mpcs are at the round table hold and none sat on the chairs
Damn, that's pretty tragic about the Village of Albuinaurics! There are so many interesting storylines and rich history to this world. A series should be made for this!
That drop at 30:45 that Cowboy did not want to take in fear of death is in fact survivable, I just did it myself lol.. after the drop just head south west up the hill and past the merchant to find yourself at a grace in the Bellum Church.
Cowboy!! Always love your content and appreciate you taking the time to do this to help others! But Darn…wish the permanent events and point of no return could have been specified earlier in the guide. Couldn’t help but wander a bit in between the guide! Wish you all the best ! You got this!
Thank you for these walkthroughs. For someone who is completely new to souls types games these have been helping me out so much as I had/still have no clue what I am doing. Also, IK you have been going for a quality build this walkthrough but how do you recommend knowing what build type you want to be and does the starting class affect your options later in the game?
As for starting classes, these are only good for the weapon you want to begin with and depending on your build you get a small headstart for stats, but those don't matter at all in mid-end game since you have lots of points and you can respec
Hey can you please tell me how you made the jump in levels from episode 14 to this? I have literally been following along and am way lower? Are you farming all the time? Please help me. Thanks 🙏
You should be 2/3 done with Varre's questline so just look up on TH-cam on where to find a virgin's blood and then he'll give you a medallion to the best farming spot in the game.
For those who like...after the night horseback knight (end of the video) there is a chapel with a Sacred Tear to upgrade your flask, a Grace, a merchant, and another grace down the cliff...all very close by.
IF anyone has nepheli missing after doing the castle part like I did... finally after talking to the NPC and giving her the secret medallion she showed up in my round table. I was then able to find her in the Village of the Albinaurics.
Hi mate, why can’t I find Rodricka in round table this time ? I couldn’t go trough the dialog since she’s not in round table … seems I’ve missed something (I’ve accidentally hit the NPC near first step and he was not there in the lake as well , blood church)
You can also reset Redmane Castle after beating Radhan. Just talk to the host that looks like slave knight Gael and then rest at the grace. It will respawn the castle including the double boss battle.
Is this for those that advanced Redmane Castle by resting in the Plateau before clearing it? I'm running a few hours ahead of the guide and just got to the point where he said the real boss appears at Redmane. Was just making my way there too, lol
What happens if you have already beaten Radahn? There was a lot of locked doors with loot behind them that I couldn't get to. Is there anyway to get this loot?
You probably figured this out, but for anyone wondering, if you talk to Jerren the Castellan after beating Radahn, it re-sets the castle to its original state so you can fight the dual boss.
For a Strike weapon I went and grabbed the Large Club from just near the Evergaol (down the cliff behind it). Only requirement is 22 Str so easily equipped even if you need to 2-hand it.
This episode focused on the Village of the Albuinaurics and some of the steps involved in getting part of the medallion which will lead to the Haligtree area and a bunch of hidden trophy bosses so It's definitely an important one. We also continue a few other NPC questlines and get one of my personal favorite weapons, the Nightrider Glaive. We also make a slight detour to snag our +5 sombering upgrade.

A good method for anyone stuggling against mounted enemies, fight them on foot and hang around on the opposite side of their weapon arm. You can whale on them when they are swinging on the wrong side. Ive taken down many dark nights from early game using this method, punching well above my weight. Even took out golden knight boy doing this right at the beginning.

I've been using the Golden Halbert and it has been great! That holy damage is very nice
Where did he get the other smithings stones to upgrade more than plus 8..? he didnt show on the walkthrough
@@fabiobaldan556 it was in the earlier walk-throughs most likely
I just have to say as I rerererewatch this video(because I love to have this video in the background as I play)… last year was so fun going through this last year. These games are the best!
i did everything u did, 0:20 she's not there. what now??? also the gost last part was not there????
Cowboy, I'm 52 and followed ur first few just to get a jump on the weapons, and tips... You are awesome 👌
Thanks much
Massive thanks to Cowboy for thease videos, I already completed the game once but didn't realise how much I missed loving this series so far can't wait to watch them all and have as much stuff as you do
I really appreciate what you're doing for the community. This is great. Keep up the awesome work.
I just finished the Academy of Raya Lucaria with Bloodhound's Fang +5 and damn this thing is ridiculous. Radagon's wolf done in less than 20 seconds, Rennala obliterated too.
It is, but a Paladin build with a +5 Golden Halberd on STR - FAI is even stronger. I think STR - FAI is overall stronger in all cases than Quality build.
@@ItsJustVV I have it +4 and it’s already better
@@ItsJustVV So is Dex/faith at least with the Winged Scythe. With both at +5 Winged is doing over 100 more damage than Bloodhound Fang, though it is split physical/holy it also has one of the best weapon arts in the game
@@mfallen6894 Yes, if you go DEX + FAI, that's a good weapon. For STR + FAI it's the Golden Halberd.
@@ItsJustVV I save-scummed to respec without losing the item (name is eluding me) and you're right, Golden Halberd is great. So now I've started a str/fai character to main this weapon. It drops from the knight boss at the start of the game, right?
Just when I think I covered all the loot and quests in an area Cowboy surprises me again … great video as always. You’re really helping a lot of us
Here we are at episode 16 where we've still barely scratched the surface. Love this game. Great work on the channel as always cowboy 👊
At 9:32 at the tomb next to the guy there is a item under a branch going against the tomb called the Ivory Sickle. It’s a slash/pierce type if you wanna know
Edit: forgot to mention if you look against the back of the tomb there is a faint light. That is the item
If Nepheli is missing speak to her father Gideon. He will be one of the npc standing around the round table at the table of lost grace, rest and she should appear at the location cb showed in a few videos back.
Shout to you. I found using your advice.
At this point I'm not leveled as id like to be even following the walkthrough but eben though to what you are fighting cowboy so do u know of any good farming spots other than the ball rolling off the cliff for 1900 souls/ruin?
22:04 - Correction, it doesn't restore health if your health is "very low" it restores health while your health is reduced. Which can only be achieved by the death bed companion afaik.
Seems not to be true, the translation also says: while health is low. Doesn’t do anything while carrying death bed companion
Stupid question, I have followed since the start but may have missed something, iam playing on pc, how do you strike, then simultaneously flip back, thanks
Okay, I see, thank you, iam using a different weapon to follow the walkthrough :)
The guy you fought at 27:07 you can fight him on your horse I found that to be pretty quick and easy and I've been following your walkthroughs for the most part
A little tip for making the invisible dung Beatles easier. Equip Rogier's Rapier and use the sword's ability then press the lock on button. It should kill them for you
I did a blind run through Altus plateau and probably triggered the festival disappearing from redmane Castle. However, I found out that you can respawn everything talking to the NPC on Redmane castle itself.
At 23:14, Sir Gideon Ofnir doesn't say the "Ah, yes, by way of apology" section and then at 23:19, doesn't offer the "about secret medallions" section.
I've been following this walkthrough from episode 1 and everything trigger up until this point so not sure what I've missed here?
Edit: If this happens to anyone else, open your map and reload the Roundtable Hold (quitting and reloading doesn't work), talk to him again and he will bring up this section.
Did you talk to the albanoric?
I don’t write comments, but I had to go out of my way to appreciate the constant work you put for us. Thank you, you are my companion.
The spear talisman, any piercing attack that interrupts an enemies attack animation gets a %15 or so damage bonus. As a spear user I see this all the time with the "shield up and poke" tactic but it works for any weapon with pierce damage if you use the peirce attack to interrupt an enemy attack, including arrows, thrusting swords, the Rusted Anchor, Pickaxe, the lucerne running light attack and it's ash of war etc.
What happened between episodes 15 and 16 to make all your stats jump up so high?
Rune arc
hey the invisible guy wasnt there, i tried going during all times of the day, night morning and afternoon and he wasnt there, any reason why?
as a note: while it doesn't get you anything, if you go back to Village of Albinaurics and summon Latenna in front of Albus (the guy who gave you the medallion piece). Latenna will kneel in front of him, Albus will murmur something and then die.
Is it something that will prevent from platinum?
@@andreykarayvansky9549 ik this is 3 months old but nope
Just a heads up I can vouch for clinging bone I used it as a secondary it's great for topping off your health from little dudes when your health is low and at plus ten the amount of health you gain is amazing obviously if your following along with the guide it'll be awhile and id level up bloodhounds fang first followed by the clinging bone he doesn't think it's great but it's all personal preference
I have already killed radahn then I found your walkthrough and found out I've missed out on so much. So I've started to follow and now on this episode you said your going to do other stuff before fighting radahn. Since I have already beaten him does that effect the mpc spawns or any quest for the platinum?
I would like to know if you triggered the radahn fight by go to the plateau, does that affect the platinum?
I was wondering that too? What I gathered from the internet you can unlock the other things by killing the boss and talking to a NPC but I am not sure though
I'm the same.. have already killed radahn, not sure if it'll effect platinum but I've played ahead of these episodes and have notice some of the npc's spawning for cowboy haven't spawned for me or are in other locations
Same boat guys lol i guess will find out in the next couple vids
@fightincowboy what episode did you pick up the clawmark seal in cause I missed it apparently 😕 I went into the comments to look at your overview of the episode and its not mentioned in any of them I know you have it when you go through folk hero dungeon
can anybody help me rehni doesnt show up in my roundtable hold even tough i talked to her before fighting the bos in the castle
It’s a glitch. Go back to the village and then teleport back to the round table and she should be there
I have Lion's Claw on the Gutz sword now, and I got the Bloodhound Knight stuck in a stun loop with it as soon as he attacked me, apparently you get Godly poise with it, and I cycled through it four times and literally beat him into the ground. He never got off a lick. Pretty cool. Try it.
For the invisible ball near Caria Manor. Just mount and r2 with your 2h wep and drag through the path. Sooo much easier.
At 32:05 where cowboy is talking aboot the grace being in that area is a silver beetle containing ash of war shield bash
"Now he'll be doing more blacksmithing and less praying" CB has some hilarious moment 😂😂😂
I was always walking by him wondering why the hell is he always praying. When cowboy said that, I laughed hella hard.
Yeah, in my opinion, you need to do a-lot of praying to get through this game! 😂
Is there something I’m missing? I’ve been following along with this since the beginning but his stats are higher than mine in every way. I’m even 2 levels above him
im pretty much in the exact same situation and asked pretty much the same thing the day before you hahaha, any chance you figured out why?
@@Spencer-or1cb I figured it out. It’s just cause he has a rune arc active from godrick
Seems to me, maybe I am wrong, OmenKiller is like an homage to Capra in DS1. The dogs, dual blades, and his attack.
The horns too. I didn't see it before but I think you're right.
I have been trying to follow your leveling as best as I could, but when you suggested heal I was thrown for a loop. I haven't touched my faith at all, when did you gain enough faith for i
incantations?
And other stats too.
@@Johnnyg253 he has completely changed his build with no mention of it. I’ve watched every video up until now and was disappointed to see that.
The sword of night and flame (the crazy strong weapon you where talking about at 29:20) was nerfed hard, it used to deal 1200+ base with its special now it deals 800 with a twice as long cast speed as of the latest patch 1.03 it's 110% pure garbage now. I was originally using sword of night and flame with golden seal leveling into intellect and faith but after the nerf it ruined the entire build and I had to start a fresh.
The Ashe Latenna that you get at 21:03 can also ride a wolf if there are any around and stoop them from attacking you.
I have followed every step in this walkthrough and.. Nepheli was gone after Godrick until I made it through the cave with the bloodhound fang boss. If anyone else has this issue, keep proceeding till this point and then backtrack to her other locations to catch up the dialogue. Great vids also Cowboy!
When you defeated Godrick and can’t nepheli in the roundtable just go talk to gideon get out of the roundtable and go immediately back nepheli will be there
At 9:30 when talking to buddy that gives the haligtree secret medallion (right) to the left is a coffin that contains an ivory sickle
Another means of taking on the crystal enemies at the beginning of the episode is activate barricade shield, take their hit then guard counter, rinse and repeat. I didn't even have to upgrade the Morning Star.
Thank you. I was getting close to throwing the controller
@@eddiebenevides4774 lol, I know how you feel! I want to throw the damn thing all the time! Every time I die!!! 🥺😡
How is your character 2 levels lower than mine, you 48 & me 50, but you have more of every stat than I do? I picked the same stating class & have been following the walkthrough...
Great rune
I started with a Grave scythe and it is awesome. I picked up another one and just started deleting bosses. Got a lady Frieda thing going on. My jump attack will one shot in PvP as well.
Where do you get it? I love schythes since bloodborne. But wind one is faith and the basic is too weak right now :(
@@SirGuidemere91 you can farm them from grave sites. The best place is right outside "Lake-facing cliffs" in liurnia there are three that spawn there at a time who all carry it
@@douglasoakley4408 thank you!
@@SirGuidemere91 make sure to put frost on them as soon as you can and not only will you get the the bleed HP reduction frost has one too so..like I said you'll be deleting bosses and if they are still alive the frost five a 20% dmg boost
@@douglasoakley4408 that’s what I have on my +13 cold scythe right now. I love it but if the grave scythe is stronger. Man. Even better! Thanks for the tip!
I´ve been doing all the things that you said in your guide the only thing that I don't have the same is when im in my ashes of war I only have option of standard and the effect of the ashes of war, im missing heavy, keen and Quality.¿Do you know why do I have this issue? Thanks!
These videos help so much with side quests dude. Much appreciated.
The invisible ball can be easily gotten using the Meteoric Blade. Just do the skill strike to the ground as soon as the ball comes within close proximity and the special attack will render you the prize.
Hey Cowboy great job man!! Used your walkthroughs for a bunch of games. I have a quick question though. I've been following along on this walk-through and with Nepheli I think I messed up and didn't finish her dialog out when we first encounter her and she's not in the library. Question is where is she? So that way I can complete her quest. Thanks
me ether and i know i havent messed up i followed this guide from the bigining also hardly any of my mpcs are at the round table hold and none sat on the chairs
Check downstairs from the blacksmith at roundtable
Damn, that's pretty tragic about the Village of Albuinaurics! There are so many interesting storylines and rich history to this world. A series should be made for this!
Thanks for all your hard work! Really helps me navigate through the game.
That drop at 30:45 that Cowboy did not want to take in fear of death is in fact survivable, I just did it myself lol.. after the drop just head south west up the hill and past the merchant to find yourself at a grace in the Bellum Church.
Cowboy!!
Always love your content and appreciate you taking the time to do this to help others!
But Darn…wish the permanent events and point of no return could have been specified earlier in the guide. Couldn’t help but wander a bit in between the guide!
Wish you all the best !
You got this!
the lady you spoke to at the beggining doesnt appear on my game. any ideas what i might have missed or why?
Thank you for these walkthroughs. For someone who is completely new to souls types games these have been helping me out so much as I had/still have no clue what I am doing.
Also, IK you have been going for a quality build this walkthrough but how do you recommend knowing what build type you want to be and does the starting class affect your options later in the game?
Don't worry you can just Respec later
As for starting classes, these are only good for the weapon you want to begin with and depending on your build you get a small headstart for stats, but those don't matter at all in mid-end game since you have lots of points and you can respec
I feel like Omenkiller with the dogs is a reference to that mini boss in Dark Souls 1 with that little arena
I cannot get enough if your informative walkthroughs
Hey can you please tell me how you made the jump in levels from episode 14 to this? I have literally been following along and am way lower? Are you farming all the time? Please help me. Thanks 🙏
You should be 2/3 done with Varre's questline so just look up on TH-cam on where to find a virgin's blood and then he'll give you a medallion to the best farming spot in the game.
Hi the girl in the library I didn’t see I still can’t see her idk what to do
I can’t see her either
Did you talk to her in the castle before fighting Godrick?
I’m having the same issues which is weird because I talked to her to help me fight Godrick so I’m confused
Did you talk to her in the village under the cliff (the one in the beginning of this episode)?
@@dylanmahaffey8920 like the person you can summon I did that idk what the hell is wrong lol
I know this is 2 years old video, but Nepheli is not there for me for some reason. Any idea why or where she would be so I can advise the question?
For those who like...after the night horseback knight (end of the video) there is a chapel with a Sacred Tear to upgrade your flask, a Grace, a merchant, and another grace down the cliff...all very close by.
Not sure what I did different but nepheli wasn’t at the round table hold for me, how much is that gonna affect my story & achievements?
IF anyone has nepheli missing after doing the castle part like I did... finally after talking to the NPC and giving her the secret medallion she showed up in my round table. I was then able to find her in the Village of the Albinaurics.
what NPC???
What NPC Are you referring to?? And where are they located?
Tell me as well
I assume they mean Latenna.
why nepheli is not in round table? I have been following your guid from episode one!! any advise guys?
It's kind of a b!tch that the same day you post finding Hoarfrost Stomp they nerf it in to the ground. lol
Hi mate, why can’t I find Rodricka in round table this time ? I couldn’t go trough the dialog since she’s not in round table … seems I’ve missed something (I’ve accidentally hit the NPC near first step and he was not there in the lake as well , blood church)
literally just clicked off part 15, looked for this
Your lucky it usually drops at 1
Just finished part 6 of his DS3 walkthrough. Hitting that in between! Lol
@24:00 Hewg isn’t praying nor is there any dialogue for him in my play through, did I miss something?
You can also reset Redmane Castle after beating Radhan. Just talk to the host that looks like slave knight Gael and then rest at the grace. It will respawn the castle including the double boss battle.
Is this for those that advanced Redmane Castle by resting in the Plateau before clearing it? I'm running a few hours ahead of the guide and just got to the point where he said the real boss appears at Redmane. Was just making my way there too, lol
at 9:38 on the coffin is the ivory sickle
Can't find nefeli after the boss fight at round table hold or at this location should I worry
can someone explain what he's talking about at 12:45? what does he mean resting there will transition the castle?
What happens if you have already beaten Radahn? There was a lot of locked doors with loot behind them that I couldn't get to. Is there anyway to get this loot?
You probably figured this out, but for anyone wondering, if you talk to Jerren the Castellan after beating Radahn, it re-sets the castle to its original state so you can fight the dual boss.
I noticed around 25:10 your stats are way higher than mine but my level is higher, when did you level up mind intelligence faith and arcane?
He's using godricks great rune which is 5+ to all stats for free basically
@ thanks mate
nathalie doesnt show up in round table.. I ve been following your walkthrough. Please help
For a Strike weapon I went and grabbed the Large Club from just near the Evergaol (down the cliff behind it). Only requirement is 22 Str so easily equipped even if you need to 2-hand it.
