I'd like everyone to know that I've never played any dark souls games but the first boss didnt kill me at all .....................................................I accidently rolled off the edge of the map before doing a single hp of damage to him
This is a little of topic but. Red dead redemption. I start to play, I’m excited. I went somewhere far, found a legendary enemy. Put him on a horse was riding, and I hit a tree and died…. I spawn in my camp, and drop is somewhere super far away, so I given up 🤣
VOLCANO MANOR : for anyone wanting to do that quest, an FYI, you DO NOT need an invitation like they said in the video. You can just show up and talk to the lady in the chair by the bonfire and start the questline from there. From what I can tell it changes nothing, the invitation seems like its just in the world to let the player know that there's a questline in the Manor
Two things with this - i though I had missed the patches missions but I spoke to him just before i completed it and did his mission to the mountains. Means going through the capital and defeating a boss to get there. If you get swallowed by the Marionette to get to volcano mountain don't miss the cave route before jumping off the lava waterfall as you can't go back. Also don't kill or give the potion to Raya but visit her location before killing Rykard. Volcano Mountain is a huge side mission with loads of cool weapons and armour sets.
volcano quest, ranni quest and fia quest are my favorite, i do think volcano quest should have an ending for it own since so much npc involved, so much dialogs, different way to approach and items that have use outside of the quest
For those who got confused with the Wormface boss location. It’s the one between the Windmill village and the broken bridge (the tree in the middle of the valley).
@@hardluckmk.52 Well you don't have to fight a lot of bosses in Elden Ring. There are tons of optional boss fights like this one, it's up to you if you want to kill it or not. :)
Radahn actually can be optional or required. Him, Rannala, and Godrick all drop a great rune, you need 2 of these in order to progress the main story and unlock the capital. Meaning you have to kill 2 of the 3 great rune bosses you can encounter outside the capital. Radahn is just in what could be considered the third area of the game and as such natural progression based on enemy strength wouldn't take you to him until you had probably killed godrick and rannala.
@@ghosthost2033 you might not even need to take the elevator there is always the side route to the plateau although I don't know how rya spawns if you go that route
you have the option of getting, godricks, rennalas, radahns, rykards or the lord of blood's great runes before going to the capital. You really get a lot to pick from
I am SO glad I went against my natural instincts and cleared the Fringefolk Hero's Grave and its boss, that nightmare well prepared me for the multiple copies I would have to face in the future
No you need to do that quest 2 armor sets 2 spells and a talisman that heals you. Pair that talisman with the blasphemous blade and you can't die to mobs while exploring at all.
Volcano Manors boss is so much fun. Spoilers: You can also get to the boss without doing the questline. There is a hidden passage in one of the rooms in the corridor of the manor. You need a key to open it. It's the key you get from the lady in the main room. She is also surprised that someone without invitation made it there, when you don't have one.
I expected spoilers, but still didn't want to miss anything. It was refreshing to see that extra effort was put into providing timestamps to skip the spoilers. Thank you for that!
The boss at the bottom of the divine tower in Caelid is absolutely nuts. It took my friend with the kamihamiha intellect build to kill him. He would 2 shot me at 40 vigor
But she is also tough as nails. So be prepared for a lot of cursing and thrown controllers. Try bleed plus frost and use your mimic as a tag team partner
Yep, incredibly rewarding when you do beat her though, honestly just the fact that summon spam doesn't automatically destroy her and in some cases actually makes her harder as a result of her healing is why I think she's one of the best in the game, you can choose your own difficulty with her but no matter what you do cheesing her is nigh impossible without prior knowledge
@@reddevildk8641 No shes completely optional. "Mandatory" are only 2 great runes , then you can beat the game, which is pretty fast if you bee line for that goal. 90%+ of the game is all optional content.
I went to volcano manor before entering the capital because I was trying to do all great runes I could find before the capital and knew a great rune was SOMEWHERE in mt gelmir because of gideon's advice. And even if it meant I missed a questline, having to fully explore volcano manor and stumbling onto the main purpose of doing so was really fun.
I finished the game and was hunting for last things to do before NG+. There's 1 boss I haven't done from that video, and it's awesome to find out before going on a new Journey. Awesome video!
Seeing y'all cover elden ring is fun I wanna watch more noob vs pro stuff but the guides help me in my bandit adventures accidentally. Now if only we had a map guide
The Fallingstar Beast kicked my ass for a while, which wasn't too surprising given how obviously resistant it was to slash and bleed, until I learned it took 35% increased magic damage. Swapped my weapon affinities over to magic and took it down easily 👍
Holy shit dude I started this tutorial and was like "this guy sounds so familiar" then I realized I used to binge watch your Minecraft quick build challenges every day after school!! That was one of my favorite series to watch. I remember genuinely rooting for you to beat the challengers especially in the duo challenges. I think about the treehouse episode all the time! "IT MAKES A FUCK OFF MASSIVE TREE"
@@123austinl no, Josh makes videos on this channel still. Hollow does too and this guy that you heard in this video, who sounds a bit like Josh but isn't Josh, it's quite odd tbh
God, the third boss on this list was one of my favorite boss fights in my first playthrough. I loved the atmosphere of the area, the music, and the fight itself felt like a great callback to the style of bosses in previous games. I highly recommend players go take a crack at this boss before you end up having to fight it elsewhere, which you can find him again in the Altus area and in the ruins in the sky also.
what a coincidence, i just explored the tower today and found the bottom room boss, i also took the long way down even opening a short cut that i didnt even use 😂
I went there super early when I was just goofing around and got one shotted and didnt do basically any damage and today I went back there and clapped dem cheeks💀
@@exanyt yeah but ash of war doesn't always stagger him in 1st phase and maybe someone just doesn't have ennough mp so using r1 and r2 are also viable options 2nd phase tho you can literally stunlock him so i'd advise saving some mana for 2 nd ohase and than destroying him with ash of war
I have to say that your Caelid Divine Tower path is much riskier than it should be. And probably why 100% of hosts that don't follow me end up dying. The 'real' path also opens the door that the two redmane soldiers are guarding to a path with an elevator, allowing a player to relatively easily get summons from the effigy. Wall of Text: From the area with the 2 soldiers, walk off the side on to the small bridge. Turn around get on the ledge. Go left until you come across a bridge with cracks on it, it should be the first one you come across. Walk on it. Don't panic, you won't take fall damage (unless you jump attack...). Now you need to carefully walk off the bridge onto the bridge beneath it. There's a money rune there. On the side of the bridge closest to the inner spire there is a brazier below you. Jog off the bridge onto it. Don't jump or shuffle or walk or run. Just put joystick to the edge. Once on the brazier, turn around. You can walk off onto a platform but I recommend jumping. Once you're on it, jump on the one in front of it. Turn left, jump onto the platform beneath it. Now, turn around and look for a soldier. He's guarding the elevator you need to get on. I recommend killing him here with a bow or spells if you aren't confident at dueling him. Once he's dealt with, there is a platform below you connecting to the inner spire. Jump down and hug the wall until you get to the elevator. Take it up and climb the ladder that's immediately in front of you. It leads to the door that the two redmane soldiers from earlier were guarding. There's an effigy just outside the door to the right. Take the ladder back down. Go down the hall and there is a Black Flame Monk. I recommend jumping heavy attacks or having a friend so you can chain backstabs. At the end of the hall there is a money item. Turn left and hug the edge until you see below you a bridge with cracks in it. Walk off. You will be safe. DO NOT jump off or jump attack because that will kill you. There is an elevator. Take it. In front of you is the Basement Grace. Have fun with the boss.
For the second boss I've just been roaming completely aimless and underleveled then saw that huge tower and went up using messages guiding my way. As soon as I saw you could go down I just assumed rewards and went down dying for a while just to get a boss that 1 shotted me lol
the caelid tower apostle was the first one I fought and was the hardest boss in the game for me up to meeting him. I don't think I came back to kill him until after killing all the great rune bosses before Lyndel
You dont have to use just the weapons ash of war for the god devouring serpent fight, you can use its normal moveset and it will still have the big ranged wind spear effect on your light and heavy attacks as well as its jumping attacks, the weapon can also be upgraded by the blacksmith so you dont have to struggle with its unupgraded dmg.
@@buttersnow8707 just adds variety. Honestly its my top 3 favourite bosses by the unique weapon to defeat it and its transition, and also the manor questline was so fun
@@galaticwars The ones Recycled make sense though, compare this to any regular AAA game with like 5 total story bosses? the game has 63 unique bosses and 146 Total bosses
For some reason, out of all the optional bosses in the game, I found that one Tree Spirit boss in the catacombs to be the worst. As a mage, having no space to keep away from it while all of its moves cover a wide area and don't really give you time to cast any spells at it, really pissed me off. I died there so many times, it felt like it was even worse than some of the late game bosses (like the blonde dude that hurls lightning)
just beat that damn Godskin today after levelling up to 105 and getting the sword of night and flame to +5 with mimic spirit at +4. I told him I'd have revenge when he one shot me for the 20th time. vengeance is sweet but he's loot is sweeter 😋
Side note about Tibia Mariner : For a lot of players, defeating him will grant your first Deathroot. This should activate an NPC named D. He can lead you to beast incantations, what beast incantations lead to...
Not to be rude, but speaking of logic tge first Mariner one can find is the one on the road to Caelid, also someone can find a deathroot much earlier in the near catacombs, Tibia man is wayy far away for it being the first Mariner
I think the list is a little bit missing. I will give out some names that can be spoiler but they are a little hard to reach. 1. The Lich Dragon 2. Malenia,Sword of Miquella 3. Mohg( I believe there are 2 mohg’s) 4. Captain Niall
In Volcano Manor there is an invisible wall behind the corpse in the first room of the hallway. From there you can explore the entire volcano manor and at the end you can even get to the Snake(the boss with the great rune) so you can defeat the boss even before entering the Capital. (Do yourself a favor and bring a friend in that bossfight ☠️)
You can staggerlock the snake if you have the FP for it. Do the first part of the weapon art but DON'T do the followup attack. Let your animation reset and do the charged L2 again. I recommend having some kind of Ash summon to distract for while you're sipping your Cerulean Flask. And yes. You can do this the whole fight. The WHOLE FIGHT.
7:02 that's not where wormface is he's at the tree west of that one. The one you are pointing out doesn't have a boss just a group of enemies (they're easy to take down). But still has tears for your flask.
the women for valcano manner meeting her she will be in EITHER the grand lift of dectus OR lux ruins depending on how you got to altus and or if the lift was activated
I think the thing that makes that putrid spirit so hard is the same thing that makes the duo Crucible fight hard the damn room is super small for the range of attacks that's they have you have no room to move
I got duped by the wall-looking door to the Greater Rune elevator in the Tower of Caelid and figured "well, that direction's no good, guess there's a bottom-to-top elevator somewhere lower". Proceeded to spend 2 hours falling off edges, getting killed by that black flame mob with a cool cape and then the boss himself, before finding out that there really is no elevator up from the room behind him, I'm just lowkey blind. I did think that this is a really over-the-top parkour section, but after all the silly jumping it took to even enter the tower, it didn't seem *that* far-fetched to just consider the Tower of Caelid the game's parkour check. Boss was definitely a fun challenge, though, as I only had ~700 hp at the time, at around level 70. At least most of his regular attacks didn't one-shot, only some of the blackflame ones that are easier to straight-up run away from.
Beat the Divine Tower boss at lvl 82 bc I wanted the Godslayer greatsword so bad. Definitely was under leveled and died 100 times but we made it through.🤝
would definitely have been a better addition compared to tibia or Rykard who are pretty obvious bosses. Hell even Mohg and Malenia are a lot more hidden than Rykard and they're great rune bosses too
If you're trying to beat the black knife assassin in sage's cave (the one who is invisible and constantly tries to backstab you) I reccomend the glintblade phalanx sorcery as the blades automatically fly towards the nearest enemy whether they're invisible or not instantly giving away where he is. He can be frustrating to fight without something like this.
You (thankfully for me) don't actually have to talk to Raya at all to do the manor questline! I ended up just making my way there via the ladders and Fullygrown's peak and walked through the front door. The only person to even mention the manor before that was Patches who just told me not to go there after he had his rainbow stone fun.
There is a corrupted elden tree boss at the bottom of Stormveil Castle. All hits were lethal and using the crystal sword barely scratched it. It was very fast, had an enormous reach and did 500+ a hit plus Ash rot and poison. I couldn't beat it.
No criticism, or judgement, i just want to give you my perspective. I am one of those viewers who was expecting things to be spoiled. I clicked a video titled "8 IMPORTANT Optional Bosses You Don't Want to Miss - Hidden Weapons & Armor Location" because it seemed to imply that items and cool bosses will be partially revealed, I don't mind leaving some cool inconsequential things out, I would even classify boss phases in that category. I personally don't mind having something to look forward to do, it's how I find joy from the game, like a community talking about a creature over-yonder.
Gotta say, props for the dragon/serpent thing for actually become a lord of the manor, Ik we kill him, but dragons have come along way from lazing around doing nothing pre dark souls
Already spent nearly 100 hours in this game and I just want to keep playing it whether that ng+ or just make a new character entirely. I love the previous from games but I don’t know how all be able to go back.
The boss in war dead catacombs drops the legendary ash summon and a golden seed with the fat purse of runes Totally worth the effort on 1st play through
I love how on the putrid tree spirit he said “it’s grab attack is a one shot even at my 38 vigor” I died XD. He was talking as if 38 vigor was a lot. If you want a melee build at least go for 50-60 vigor my dude XD
The best bit about the first sword on this list is you can actually dual wield it without having to have 2 of them, I don't think other weapons allow this might be wrong
There are claws in storm veil castle after u beat mergit that have bleed, dash, and dual wield their absolutely amazing to get past the scarlet rot pool when going to get the golden scarab
You can make it to the bottom too. Bring lions claw and introduce the boss to the ground. That filthy bastard has not cleaned in decades. Show him how filthy that floor is.
Im disappointed at the lack of Regal Ancestor Spirit.... its totally optional, but bloody hell is it a hauntingly beautiful fight. The music is just sublime.
Just want to note that *all* Godskin bosses (Apostles and Nobles) read your input when drinking a flask and throw a fireball at you, not just the one in Caelid. I really hate input reads.
I've been trying to figure out how to get to bottom of the Devine tower for ages. Only reason I know there is something down there was failing countless jumps
The war dead catacombs were so annoying to find, I searched like 2 hours cause on top of the hill was a guiding statue that pointed to the beach but I already searched that areas wall, apart from the very end cause the door kinda blends in. So I kinda cliffjump/climp my way at the top got to a giant that always one hit me tryed him and after the frustration, I decided to check the beach again and felt really stupid

I have to say that your Caelid Divine Tower path is much riskier than it should be. And probably why 100% of hosts that don't follow me end up dying. The 'real' path also opens the door that the two redmane soldiers are guarding to a path with an elevator, allowing a player to relatively easily get summons from the effigy.
Wall of Text:
From the area with the 2 soldiers, walk off the side on to the small bridge.
Turn around get on the ledge.
Go left until you come across a bridge with cracks on it, it should be the first one you come across.
Walk on it. Don't panic, you won't take fall damage (unless you jump attack...).
Now you need to carefully walk off the bridge onto the bridge beneath it. There's a money rune there.
On the side of the bridge closest to the inner spire there is a brazier below you. Jog off the bridge onto it. Don't jump or shuffle or walk or run. Just put joystick to the edge.
Once on the brazier, turn around. You can walk off onto a platform but I recommend jumping.
Once you're on it, jump on the one in front of it.
Turn left, jump onto the platform beneath it. Now, turn around and look for a soldier.
He's guarding the elevator you need to get on. I recommend killing him here with a bow or spells if you aren't confident at dueling him.
Once he's dealt with, there is a platform below you connecting to the inner spire. Jump down and hug the wall until you get to the elevator.
Take it up and climb the ladder that's immediately in front of you. It leads to the door that the two redmane soldiers from earlier were guarding. There's an effigy just outside the door to the right.
Take the ladder back down. Go down the hall and there is a Black Flame Monk. I recommend jumping heavy attacks or having a friend so you can chain backstabs.
At the end of the hall there is a money item. Turn left and hug the edge until you see below you a bridge with cracks in it.
Walk off. You will be safe. DO NOT jump off or jump attack because that will kill you.
There is an elevator. Take it.

You dont have to use just the weapons ash of war for the god devouring serpent fight, you can use its normal moveset and it will still have the big ranged wind spear effect on your light and heavy attacks as well as its jumping attacks, the weapon can also be upgraded by the blacksmith so you dont have to struggle with its unupgraded dmg.
I think they were just ... pushing out content and not really paying attention for most of this. XD
@@buttersnow8707 just adds variety. Honestly its my top 3 favourite bosses by the unique weapon to defeat it and its transition, and also the manor questline was so fun
I killed wormface today thinking it was another boss took an hour to lvl gear and kill it then i realised ITS FINE
It's amazing the sheer number of bosses in this game.
U mean recycled bosses
@@galaticwars The ones Recycled make sense though, compare this to any regular AAA game with like 5 total story bosses? the game has 63 unique bosses and 146 Total bosses
@@justinhorror1765 I'll take less bosses that are uniqe and matter to the plot than a bunch of random recycles with mediocre rewards.
For some reason, out of all the optional bosses in the game, I found that one Tree Spirit boss in the catacombs to be the worst. As a mage, having no space to keep away from it while all of its moves cover a wide area and don't really give you time to cast any spells at it, really pissed me off. I died there so many times, it felt like it was even worse than some of the late game bosses (like the blonde dude that hurls lightning)
just beat that damn Godskin today after levelling up to 105 and getting the sword of night and flame to +5 with mimic spirit at +4. I told him I'd have revenge when he one shot me for the 20th time. vengeance is sweet but he's loot is sweeter 😋
good luck for the respawning teaming one ;)
@@tuyoufpazic5746 yeah I seen that one 😮💨
How did you get a ash of war in there? That’s the godskin apostle right? I couldn’t summon anything I had to solo it
Side note about Tibia Mariner :
For a lot of players, defeating him will grant your first Deathroot. This should activate an NPC named D. He can lead you to beast incantations, what beast incantations lead to...
Not to be rude, but speaking of logic tge first Mariner one can find is the one on the road to Caelid, also someone can find a deathroot much earlier in the near catacombs, Tibia man is wayy far away for it being the first Mariner
I got that Sword today it's a a solid weapon especially if you have an all black fashion set.
Great video, i checked all these off spoiler free. Thanks so much
Legendary work man!
I think the list is a little bit missing. I will give out some names that can be spoiler but they are a little hard to reach.
1. The Lich Dragon
2. Malenia,Sword of Miquella
3. Mohg( I believe there are 2 mohg’s)
4. Captain Niall
your handling of spoilers is immaculate, my dude
Best thing about mariner, you can give what he drops to a beast dude in Calid to make him have a drug trip, he does try to kill you breifly then tho
In Volcano Manor there is an invisible wall behind the corpse in the first room of the hallway. From there you can explore the entire volcano manor and at the end you can even get to the Snake(the boss with the great rune) so you can defeat the boss even before entering the Capital. (Do yourself a favor and bring a friend in that bossfight ☠️)
If you do this you will lock yourself out of some of the best armour sets in the game.
@@dogfood142 you can't do the quest after the bossfight? My target is still signed on the map
@@NadaNada-ch9uw if you beat rykard the npcs leave the manor so you can’t do the quest line
You can staggerlock the snake if you have the FP for it. Do the first part of the weapon art but DON'T do the followup attack. Let your animation reset and do the charged L2 again. I recommend having some kind of Ash summon to distract for while you're sipping your Cerulean Flask.
And yes. You can do this the whole fight. The WHOLE FIGHT.
@@dogfood142 who cares blasphemous blade +10 abosulutely wrecks
7:02 that's not where wormface is he's at the tree west of that one. The one you are pointing out doesn't have a boss just a group of enemies (they're easy to take down). But still has tears for your flask.
"first thing to take your life in this game" lmao i died to my arch nemesis... Gravity lmao
the women for valcano manner meeting her she will be in EITHER the grand lift of dectus OR lux ruins depending on how you got to altus and or if the lift was activated
The first time I came across the Full Grown Fallenstar Beast I hadn't encountered any of the other Fallenstar Beasts so I had a fun fight ahead
you make the game more fun for me!
I think the thing that makes that putrid spirit so hard is the same thing that makes the duo Crucible fight hard the damn room is super small for the range of attacks that's they have you have no room to move
I got duped by the wall-looking door to the Greater Rune elevator in the Tower of Caelid and figured "well, that direction's no good, guess there's a bottom-to-top elevator somewhere lower". Proceeded to spend 2 hours falling off edges, getting killed by that black flame mob with a cool cape and then the boss himself, before finding out that there really is no elevator up from the room behind him, I'm just lowkey blind. I did think that this is a really over-the-top parkour section, but after all the silly jumping it took to even enter the tower, it didn't seem *that* far-fetched to just consider the Tower of Caelid the game's parkour check.
Boss was definitely a fun challenge, though, as I only had ~700 hp at the time, at around level 70. At least most of his regular attacks didn't one-shot, only some of the blackflame ones that are easier to straight-up run away from.
Where do you got your armor and helmet from ?
Beat the Divine Tower boss at lvl 82 bc I wanted the Godslayer greatsword so bad. Definitely was under leveled and died 100 times but we made it through.🤝
love how you look like Papa from Ghost
There's also a pretty cool boss in the sewers beneath Leyndell, I imagine it's quite easy to miss that area entirely.
Bro blood omen dude has to be top 10 hardest bosses
@@treymcgougan5698 And that fight only shows his phase 1.
I actually got to the stronger version of him before the capital version, it was weird.
@@t0uchme343 where was he?
would definitely have been a better addition compared to tibia or Rykard who are pretty obvious bosses. Hell even Mohg and Malenia are a lot more hidden than Rykard and they're great rune bosses too
If you're trying to beat the black knife assassin in sage's cave (the one who is invisible and constantly tries to backstab you) I reccomend the glintblade phalanx sorcery as the blades automatically fly towards the nearest enemy whether they're invisible or not instantly giving away where he is. He can be frustrating to fight without something like this.
Also hoarfrost stomp since it’s wide enough to hit him
You (thankfully for me) don't actually have to talk to Raya at all to do the manor questline! I ended up just making my way there via the ladders and Fullygrown's peak and walked through the front door. The only person to even mention the manor before that was Patches who just told me not to go there after he had his rainbow stone fun.
There is a corrupted elden tree boss at the bottom of Stormveil Castle. All hits were lethal and using the crystal sword barely scratched it. It was very fast, had an enormous reach and did 500+ a hit plus Ash rot and poison. I couldn't beat it.
I’ve decided that the grafted scion will be the second to last boss I fight kinda as a reminder of my origins
thens for the cheese landing on top of the elevator in bottom caelid divine tower cheers dude, keep doing pro and noob video series for life pease
Great content sir I appreciate it I had missed half of them and I’m trying to tie things up before killing the final boss and going to new game+
No criticism, or judgement, i just want to give you my perspective. I am one of those viewers who was expecting things to be spoiled. I clicked a video titled "8 IMPORTANT Optional Bosses You Don't Want to Miss - Hidden Weapons & Armor Location" because it seemed to imply that items and cool bosses will be partially revealed, I don't mind leaving some cool inconsequential things out, I would even classify boss phases in that category. I personally don't mind having something to look forward to do, it's how I find joy from the game, like a community talking about a creature over-yonder.
Gotta say, props for the dragon/serpent thing for actually become a lord of the manor, Ik we kill him, but dragons have come along way from lazing around doing nothing pre dark souls
I had more trouble with the falling star beast & the snek than any other boass on this list
“It feels like you can’t travel more than 30 seconds in this game without coming”
*Cheers bro I’ll drink to that*
Already spent nearly 100 hours in this game and I just want to keep playing it whether that ng+ or just make a new character entirely. I love the previous from games but I don’t know how all be able to go back.
I have a blood hound fang thing that's really really good and it does not stop attacking
The boss in war dead catacombs drops the legendary ash summon and a golden seed with the fat purse of runes
Totally worth the effort on 1st play through
3:19
HAHA dodged an arrow attack because you were pulling the lever. hilarious
The game has only been out for like a week. Already there are ppl uploading guides. Crazy.
I love how on the putrid tree spirit he said “it’s grab attack is a one shot even at my 38 vigor” I died XD. He was talking as if 38 vigor was a lot. If you want a melee build at least go for 50-60 vigor my dude XD
Did all of this have and gained 30+ levels just for the power to go out 👍🏼
Great content, thanks
I like how the first two bosses were the most hair pullingly satanically difficult bosses on the planet. Seriously.
I suck at doing sidequests in Elden Ring. I progressed past some of them lol.
Will you please make a video showing where all the night time bell hunter bosses are
The best bit about the first sword on this list is you can actually dual wield it without having to have 2 of them, I don't think other weapons allow this might be wrong
There are claws in storm veil castle after u beat mergit that have bleed, dash, and dual wield their absolutely amazing to get past the scarlet rot pool when going to get the golden scarab
@@yasinahmed6157 ohhh really, im going to go find them now and try them out!
Radahn's boss weapon also works like that.
I'll be honest I didn't even know you could make it to the top of caleid tower
You can make it to the bottom too. Bring lions claw and introduce the boss to the ground.
That filthy bastard has not cleaned in decades. Show him how filthy that floor is.
Im disappointed you didn't talk about fights like the two Mohg fights, Melania, like the real secret fights.
Im disappointed at the lack of Regal Ancestor Spirit.... its totally optional, but bloody hell is it a hauntingly beautiful fight. The music is just sublime.
Near the aeonian swamp farm is the war chief, another optional boss.
Man this game is massive
That parkour had me stuck for 20 min, I couldn’t land that bounce off to the platform with the elevator
At the start of the video 0:00, what is that top piece, and how can you get it?
Have you found Mogh the Omen at the very bottom of the Capitol Erdtree? He's insane
Just want to note that *all* Godskin bosses (Apostles and Nobles) read your input when drinking a flask and throw a fireball at you, not just the one in Caelid. I really hate input reads.
I've been trying to figure out how to get to bottom of the Devine tower for ages. Only reason I know there is something down there was failing countless jumps
You may think the grafted scion was the first thing to take my life but it was actually the cliff right as you leave the church
That serpent spear you can just attack with is and it will still do the air attacks so you don’t need fp for it
You know it’s be real great if you’d show which tower to use the stone key on because their are 3.. and 2 are a waste
This Game is soo hard even for me that i played Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3 for over 100 hours. But i love it.
I found at least 5 of these mariners and 2 of which were not ones mentioned here which means i have 2 more to find
Seeing 2 bosses like this at once just makes my sphincter pucker
Oh my god thank you, I really wanted to shoot Comet Azur with 70 int at the first enemy in the game/the ass that stabbed me too many times.
The war dead catacombs were so annoying to find, I searched like 2 hours cause on top of the hill was a guiding statue that pointed to the beach but I already searched that areas wall, apart from the very end cause the door kinda blends in. So I kinda cliffjump/climp my way at the top got to a giant that always one hit me tryed him and after the frustration, I decided to check the beach again and felt really stupid
Rykkard can be accessed with a secret way to get down there, but it’s pretty annoying to try and get to and a little more annoying to go through
theres a black knife assassin on the right of necromancer garris, if you just continue down the path past the two chests you will find the assassin.
What are the two swords you have in your thumbnail?
