I truly could not believe it when you said "the only site of grace in this area", I had to rewind and make sure... You ran right past the second site of grace, at 11:57 just before you mention the summoning pool.
Came here to check for this! I love these videos anyway. One day I hope to make it to the comments first with something he missed. Not in a negative way…like a repayment for his help.
I think this game is absolutely amazing. That being said, I wish platforming wasn’t such a crucial component, because these controls and our character and move set isn’t a good fit for platforming, in my opinion. Haligtree always makes you realize how easy it is to fall for a mistake you didn’t make but was just a limitation of control.
It’s not too bad on controller, I’m guessing you’re probably PC. Don’t get me wrong I’ve fallen probably 20+ times on the haligtree especially but it’s almost never lack of control. Usually I either rolled off mid fight, misjudged my position or jumped at the wrong time. Mostly comes down to the stress of platforming with all the danger around, is kinda odd to add this to such a difficult game otherwise
Hahaha, in my first playthrough, after a few falls off branches, I said F it, screw all this, and just ran straight for the trunk of the tree because I knew that's where I needed to go to progress hahahaha
you missed a talisman called the viridian amber medallian +2 in the haligtree town, start from the grace you missed and run past the 3 snails and crystallians and jump unto the roof with all the zombies on it, but instead turn the camera behind you and find an open room you can jump into, there will be a chest with the talisman in it, also you can press L2 again during the morgotts cursed sword weapon art for another slice i didnt see you use the second slice at all
@@DomsRoundtable yea, right where you activated the summoning pool, it was behind you. Don't worry, I doubt you're not the first and only person to miss a grace or two :D
@@DomsRoundtableyeah I was gonna say that’s wild because that Grace is damn near critical for Loretta but then I realized you had instead found a shortcut that’s probably even better. Pretty understandable because the sites really blend into the random effin candles everywhere
I just want to say, I'm highly impressed with this series. I have spent well over 200 hours in this game, and have still been nowhere near as complete as you. Hats off to you sir.
Lol what have you been doing all that time then!!? I’m at 140 hours still on my first playthrough and just need to go kill the fire giant, do ashen capital, do farum azula and go beat the game. I’m level 170 and I’ve done every npc quest, tomb/mine, fully explored every area, and beat every optional boss (including melania) or unique encounter.
@@DOC_951 exploring, testing out different builds, and having a good time. I probably have gone through at least 10 different builds, all on different playthroughs. I've only actually completed the game once thus far.
Don’t even worry. I’m at 400hrs and I’m only just now here and on my first play through. Just been making sure to do absolutely everything without locking myself out of stuff. Also trying to change my build here and there to keep myself on my toes and keep it fun. I’ve also never played any of the souls games so this is a pretty new experience for me but honestly I’m savoring it and will absolutely play it a couple more times albeit much quicker. I also did a lot of research during my play through so that does account for some of the time but not all of it. Also my first attempt at a play through likely added 20 hours on to it as well before realizing I started out all wrong and just straight up started the game over. So maybe like 350hrs in reality since I’m also a mom and don’t exactly get to play uninterrupted lol
I think it’s a fun area, Elphael is fun, too! I was kinda late to the party and bought the game way later than anyone else - but today I finally bet the game!
It was a glorious area, the entire thing, but it was definitely difficult. I think haligtree/Farum Azula are the two toughest areas. Followed by consecrated snowfields/mohgwyn palace
Hell yes congratulations!! Are you planning on playing through again on NG+, or maybe restarting with a different build? Or are you going to take a break from it for now 🙂
@@DomsRoundtable I haven’t decided yet. I might rewatch the your things you missed series to catch up on two or three dungeons I might have missed. But since there’s no other game I am looking forward to play right now, I might play NG+.
I used that gravity spell that pulls enemies towards you on enemies that were close enough to the edges i was across from and pulled them right off branches lol hilariously worth it
These videos are the perfect combination of informative, detailed, and light. I learn a lot, get a couple of chuckles, and I can have them on while I work on paperwork in my office. Great stuff! Also, I've started using the "MY BELOVED" as a greeting when I get summoned for boss fights. Some people definitely have no idea about these things because the reactions can be hilarious.
4:08 ... sorry, had to laugh. Not even a failed jump, just a straight walk off the edge (we've all done it). Also hate the first part of this area, so relieved to get to the next grace site. Good job as usual, love the humour in your guides. Cheers
Even though I'm on NG+7 and have explored most of these areas quite thoroughly, I almost always learn of something I've missed from your videos. Beyond that, I find them terribly entertaining and get a little dopamine hit when I see a new one posted. Thanks for doing what you do!
That branch where the mages are (where you collected the butterflies) is actually a great place to sneak attack on the first mage, and that allows you to get the second one from a distance as well. It almost looks like you can't make that jump, but it's easier than it looks. I love how this game presents users with so many different options!
You honestly do THE BEST Elden Ring follow-along videos and it's SO MUCH appreciated! Thank you for all these vids, they help TONS & TONS of players/viewers looking to experience the most out of this amazing game. You are AWESOME, and taking the time to show us these guides is extremely generous and gives us even more reasons to LOVE Elden Ring! Thanks!!!
I seriously want to thank you so much for these videos. I’ve beaten the game and this is nice to go back to certain areas and grab items I missed for whenever I choose to start New Game+. Eventually, it would be nice to see a video from you about how to properly prepare for a New Game+
As a sorcerer this area made me appreciate Gravity well and Collapsing stars. Pulling enemies off edges and watching them fall to their death after falling myself or being shot so many times by those envoys is just satisfying.
I don't know why but I love ur intro :) I hv watched (almost) every one of these and there are STILL things ur pointing out that I've missed and I hv 3 dif playthoughs lol...this game is so huge... cheers mate!
I'm so excited to hear what you think of your new build! My build is very similar though I haven't put the same number of points into Arcane as you. Can't wait to see!
15:58 You can also jump across to that platform and get the drop on that battlemage if you're stealthy enough. He'll start walking down the bridge as soon as you land.
Did you miss the site of grace by where you activated the summoning pool by the ants? Also, I think you missed an important item underneath where the summoning snails were.
Great as always! The sm7b is a great mic, only problem with them is the amount of gain it takes so you might need to get a cloud lifter to add more gain. There’s other ones besides cloud lifter like the 7up from crimson audio designed for the sm7 mic. Hopefully your preamp will stay clean and you don’t need one but if not one of these will fix it🤘
By far my favorite guides period. I'll clear an area and when I think I've got everything all I type is "everything you missed" and wham, I missed a lot of stuff lol.
There is a ladder on the platform where you fought Misbegotten Crusader (the one above two Miranda Flowers) at 10:30. Up the ladder there are a lot, and I mean A LOT of zombies. I don't really remember if there is some item, but those zombies did teach me that Blasphemous Sword Weapon Art is really good crowd control tool :) As others said you also missed second site of grace, and Talisman in the house under the roof where you fight three spiritcaller snails. Other than that it is a good guide and series. Good job :)
Congrats with the new hardware set up!) Btw just wanted to tell you that I would be watching you videos in any case, just a simple thank you for all your positivity that you are sharing with us Dom! And also... On the platform above the two big Miranda flowers there is yet another ladder... I don't remember what was the loot there but there is an insane amount of them zombie-mushrooms😅😅😅
Have been farming weapons and armor and such that I missed and luckily it only took me like 4 or 5 kills of the giant envoy to get there giant horn but having to get to them was the harder part with the ants destroying me If I missed them and falling off the tree a couple times lol. Trying to farm the swords from the wandering nobles took forever. It's crazy how certain weapons are so rare and others I would get on the 1st or 2nd try lol
I'm gonna sub just for the "I haven't really plugged myself lately, I used to do it a bit more and kind of went the other way so enjoy the pure entertainment" Don't I've ever heard that but thx my guy !
Thank you! Damn branches messed me up. I gave up looking for items but your video helped me once again. Went thru and collected , can't help it, have to always collect everything. Great work great videos much appreciated.
On the roof where he goes down and fights the ants there is now a site of grace. I do not know if it has always been there and he missed it or if it was added more recently. Also you can cheese the ants from the rooftops and you can get both wizards from the right roof as well, you just need to look around and don't make jumps until you have looked at all of your options, unless you are being chased or something, but if you cheese it right you shouldn't get chased.
Actually, I find the “please like and subscribe” reminders very helpful. It’s something I can do for you as a viewer that’s helpful for you and takes virtually no effort. Just easy to forget to do as I’m watching and learning these areas as I get to them. Enjoy the videos very much and find them to be very good guides. Keep it up!
Dom! On an earlier video I had commented on the clipping distortion on your audio that was really distracting. I just got to the part where you talk about upgrading your audio equipment. The difference is amazing! Great work! The investment in quality gear has really paid off. Would watch again, 5 stars. ;-)
i started playing Elden Ring about a month ago and i was following your guides but ran out of them so i went ahead and finished the game, however i will continue to watch your videos and supporting the channel. if i were to start a youtube channel i would want to do guides like yours but i also wouldnt want to copy you.
@5:12 Omg I didn't realise you could get over there to deal with that particular Giant Oracle Envoy! I died about three times just trying to sprint past all those small Miranda flowers and dodging those stupid bubbles. I did try poisoning him but I don't think my arrows hit him so I just had to take my chances and run past. If I had known what you did I would have hidden where you did and used Ambush Shard to whittle his health down. All in all it took me FOREVER to get out of the canopy area thanks to some bubbles and gravity! @6:56 Dammit...completely forgot about the Oracle Envoy Ashes. @16:58 Apparently I also forgot about the lift shortcut too as I was making my way towards Loretta. I did die during my first attempt and had to make my way back to her location again. It wasn't too far but was annoying nonetheless (although at that point I had discovered I could jump to that roof in order to snipe the Mages so it wasn't as painful. That said I'm still annoyed with myself for missing that lift shortcut! xD
Im gonna start leaving notes in front of BS areas like with the ants that give you the butterflies that says something like pointless ahead. I died 3 times to those ants just to get more butterflies I don't use
the jump at 15:00 can also be used to get behind the mage you cheesed so you can take it out in a fair 1 on 1 fight without the other one getting in the way
The misbegotten crusader above the 2 flowers was such a butt clenching, but lucky fight for me!! I aggroed him, he came after me faster than I thought (I was banking on him getting stuck on a wall) I fell down to the flower platform and my camera view got fucked so I couldn't see where I was going for a second. I managed to run over to and climb up the side ladder before the crusader got to me again. I turned around to try and cheese him from above, and he randomly fell off the platform 🤣🤣
I literally watched this video anxiously awaiting your moves against the mage boys on the bridge. Killed me so many times and you CHEESED them lol amazing. Thx again DOM great
I remember doing this, I remember the pain. I watched the whole thing, liked, and would have subscribed if I wasn't already, purely in respect of your efforts. Keep up the good work mate.
By the way, near the middle of the bridge @16:43, you can jump off onto the platform where the elevator is. You can skip fighting the the two mages and access the grace after going up the elevator.
No idea how to do Souls games….and my character is built exactly like your build. Now it’s probably your 19th different build…but at least it gives me hope that I’m on the right track!! 😂
I used Radahn's bow for the tree part it knocks 70% of all envoys off their limb to their death (except the big ones) saves a bunch of time if you don't need their loot. hate that section too
The Haligtree is such a buttfuck of a location that you quickly start to wonder whether you can make it to Malenia, Blade of Miquella in the first place, much less defeat her.
Congrats on the new recording setup! Sorry, I'm gonna audio nerd once more (I can't help it, it's what I do for work) - I think there's some heavy de-noising or gating applied to your voice in post, which cuts off some audio. Probably better to use less aggressive settings there to let the quality of the new gear shine :) Appreciating all these videos! Finished the game a few months ago, but it's still very enjoyable to get a feel for if I missed anything
Dude thank you, and thank you for the advice! More than happy to hear how I can get the most out of this microphone!! I have actually played around with the settings quite a lot since I recorded this video, hopefully you notice an improvement in Part 4 of the Consecrated Snowfields that I released this morning - I'd love your opinion on the microphone quality on that one! ❤️
@@DomsRoundtable Yeah sounds great in general. The tone and dynamics are good. The entire sound is much better and cleaner with the new setup! Only thing I'd be careful with is any type of noise reduction still. Not sure what you use, but it does make it sound a bit unnatural in more quiet parts. I'd take it off and listen in context if it's really needed. Usually the background noise is inaudible anyway with all the absolutely-destroying-enemies going on and you do win back the "naturalness" and detail of the sound. Anyway, thanks for reading. I know these types of messages can be very annoying :))
Seriously F%$& this area!! 🤣 EDIT - HOLY CRAP I'M DUMB!!!!!!!!! It's not like I couldn't find the second site of grace, I actually legit just ran past it and completely ignored it...
I like the area but I can't get past the big misborgotens I recently respected my stats to use the elden beast sword and I want from 2000 hp to 1450 hp
I just cleared the area yesterday. Nice timing with your upload. Next section will be hard... Is it the chest piece of the Scaled Set you're wearing? Good combination with the Silver Tear Mask! I'm wearing the mask since I got it and in combination with the whole set since I reached the Mountaintops of the Giants. Thank you for your good work! And audio is much better now!
That damn tree gave me way too many problems for a relatively small area. Elphael, on the other hand, is an awesome area, loads of pickups and some pretty high value enemies 👍👍.
i got SO PISSED trying to clear the canopy i said fuck it and just ran. pretty much left every item up there... i'm liking this game less and less the further I go
Everyone can find every item in this area and in this game. It just takes time to do the exploring is all. There is nothing impossible in this game. It just simply takes time.
Idk why people dislike this area so much! just did it myself a few days ago and it only took an evening. Didn’t find any of the enemies in the first half too tough. Beat Loretta first try… The inner second half of the area with all the knights and revenants and crossbow ballistas was a lot harder lol. Also, humble brag… I beat Malenia on my 3rd try (though I am level 160 🤫).
That giant envoy @5:18 gets me everytime. Even with a shield, I get knocked off. I never survive that jump down. I've tried a few things to kill him but always get obliterated. Anyone got any advice on how to take him out?
I truly could not believe it when you said "the only site of grace in this area", I had to rewind and make sure... You ran right past the second site of grace, at 11:57 just before you mention the summoning pool.
Oh no way!?! Legit cannot believe of all the things I could have missed it was a SITE OF GRACE!!
It is still an incredibly difficult area. I wouldn't have wanted to do it with no flasks
Yeah, I saw many people miss this one
Came here to check for this! I love these videos anyway. One day I hope to make it to the comments first with something he missed. Not in a negative way…like a repayment for his help.
Yea, you missed an entire site of Grace. I missed it my first play thru.

I FINALLY made it to the Haligtree like... yesterday? And immediately went, holy shit, Haligtree is the new Blighttown.
Things u missed more like things u wish u could even get to
Hahaha, in my first playthrough, after a few falls off branches, I said F it, screw all this, and just ran straight for the trunk of the tree because I knew that's where I needed to go to progress hahahaha
@@priqq1 I'm trying but have very low up it was once 2000 now it's 1450
I'll come back later...
Get gud
This. I beat the game and have 176 hours in the game and there are still places I loathe going to
you missed a talisman called the viridian amber medallian +2 in the haligtree town, start from the grace you missed and run past the 3 snails and crystallians and jump unto the roof with all the zombies on it, but instead turn the camera behind you and find an open room you can jump into, there will be a chest with the talisman in it, also you can press L2 again during the morgotts cursed sword weapon art for another slice i didnt see you use the second slice at all
Oh nice one thank you!! Also I learn about the 2nd sword slice soon hahah 😂
That was a scary enough jump I didn’t try it. But maybe I’ll go back and snag it.
Yeah teach him a lesson for trying to be helpful
There is a second site of grace on the round platform before the 3 spirit snails. You can see it @11:58 on the left side of the screen.
Oh no way!?! Legit cannot believe of all the things I could have missed it was a SITE OF GRACE!!
@@DomsRoundtable yea, right where you activated the summoning pool, it was behind you. Don't worry, I doubt you're not the first and only person to miss a grace or two :D

At 13:40 you can turn around after you jump from the roof with the phantom snails and crystallians. Then jump into a room

@16:58 Apparently I also forgot about the lift shortcut too as I was making my way towards Loretta. I did die during my first attempt and had to make my way back to her location again. It wasn't too far but was annoying nonetheless (although at that point I had discovered I could jump to that roof in order to snipe the Mages so it wasn't as painful. That said I'm still annoyed with myself for missing that lift shortcut! xD
if you are a dex build you could easily waste the battlemages on the bridge with the bolt of gransax, they just fall and it is incredibly fun
Im gonna start leaving notes in front of BS areas like with the ants that give you the butterflies that says something like pointless ahead. I died 3 times to those ants just to get more butterflies I don't use
@17:21 there are two sites of grace the other one is right before the spirtcaller snails
This ended up being one of my favorite places
I mean... The ancient dragon stones and ancient somber dragon stone are really nice
The envoy on the branch was a pain but I managed to cheese him using the ambush spell
Although the spell wasn't as strong as I would like and still almost died but damn felt good to finally kill him
The greatbow is so fun on this level. The knockback kicks a lot of the bubble blowers right off the tree.
You can get the misbegotten shortbow at the beginning of the game, it dropped for me at castle Morne
the jump at 15:00 can also be used to get behind the mage you cheesed so you can take it out in a fair 1 on 1 fight without the other one getting in the way
Making a "cheesy coward" build for this area is next-level comedy
The misbegotten crusader above the 2 flowers was such a butt clenching, but lucky fight for me!! I aggroed him, he came after me faster than I thought (I was banking on him getting stuck on a wall) I fell down to the flower platform and my camera view got fucked so I couldn't see where I was going for a second. I managed to run over to and climb up the side ladder before the crusader got to me again. I turned around to try and cheese him from above, and he randomly fell off the platform 🤣🤣
I must have lost over 500k runes on the damn tree in the beggining 🙄
Another option for the envoys and ants is Collapsing Stars. It'll pull them off the branches, causing them to plummet to their death below.
I literally watched this video anxiously awaiting your moves against the mage boys on the bridge. Killed me so many times and you CHEESED them lol amazing. Thx again DOM great
I remember doing this, I remember the pain. I watched the whole thing, liked, and would have subscribed if I wasn't already, purely in respect of your efforts. Keep up the good work mate.
By the way, near the middle of the bridge @16:43, you can jump off onto the platform where the elevator is. You can skip fighting the the two mages and access the grace after going up the elevator.
This was awesome to see how we took different approaches. Fun to game along!
No idea how to do Souls games….and my character is built exactly like your build. Now it’s probably your 19th different build…but at least it gives me hope that I’m on the right track!! 😂
I used Radahn's bow for the tree part it knocks 70% of all envoys off their limb to their death (except the big ones) saves a bunch of time if you don't need their loot. hate that section too
Thanks Dom. Now that I see how sick the damage your ekzykes decay does. I wanna change my build....
Again... 🤣
If it wasn't for this video I would of never knew about the oracle envoy ashes. Thank you good sir.
The Haligtree is such a buttfuck of a location that you quickly start to wonder whether you can make it to Malenia, Blade of Miquella in the first place, much less defeat her.
You can get the misbegotten short bow in Weeping Peninsula. It’s just an rng drop
Great video! This area scares me, not going to lie... xD
Congrats on the new recording setup! Sorry, I'm gonna audio nerd once more (I can't help it, it's what I do for work) - I think there's some heavy de-noising or gating applied to your voice in post, which cuts off some audio. Probably better to use less aggressive settings there to let the quality of the new gear shine :)
Appreciating all these videos! Finished the game a few months ago, but it's still very enjoyable to get a feel for if I missed anything
Dude thank you, and thank you for the advice! More than happy to hear how I can get the most out of this microphone!!
I have actually played around with the settings quite a lot since I recorded this video, hopefully you notice an improvement in Part 4 of the Consecrated Snowfields that I released this morning - I'd love your opinion on the microphone quality on that one! ❤️
@@DomsRoundtable Yeah sounds great in general. The tone and dynamics are good. The entire sound is much better and cleaner with the new setup!
Only thing I'd be careful with is any type of noise reduction still. Not sure what you use, but it does make it sound a bit unnatural in more quiet parts. I'd take it off and listen in context if it's really needed. Usually the background noise is inaudible anyway with all the absolutely-destroying-enemies going on and you do win back the "naturalness" and detail of the sound.
Anyway, thanks for reading. I know these types of messages can be very annoying :))
At 5:39 you can see an altar in the distance where you can get a stonesword key that you missed
Bro ur videos helped me all through this game and I really appreciate it. Really good work
Seriously F%$& this area!! 🤣
EDIT - HOLY CRAP I'M DUMB!!!!!!!!! It's not like I couldn't find the second site of grace, I actually legit just ran past it and completely ignored it...
I like the area but I can't get past the big misborgotens I recently respected my stats to use the elden beast sword and I want from 2000 hp to 1450 hp
You missed a sog halfway through on the roofs
Why didnt you light the site of grace just before the snails????? Just side of the summoning pool
You were probably traumatized, I know I am with this awful area - thanks so much for making it bearable!
I just cleared the area yesterday. Nice timing with your upload. Next section will be hard...
Is it the chest piece of the Scaled Set you're wearing? Good combination with the Silver Tear Mask! I'm wearing the mask since I got it and in combination with the whole set since I reached the Mountaintops of the Giants.
Thank you for your good work! And audio is much better now!
the misbegotten shortbow can be dropped by any flying misbegotten, you just have awfull luck with those, got like 3 in morne castle
That damn tree gave me way too many problems for a relatively small area. Elphael, on the other hand, is an awesome area, loads of pickups and some pretty high value enemies 👍👍.
You should use the serpent arrows with the serpent bow it does extra damage, you can buy serpent arrows at the dragons barrow isolated merchant
Oh no way!?! Legit cannot believe of all the things I could have missed it was a SITE OF GRACE!!
And the rest. :D
Radahn’s great bow with the weapon art makes short work of oracles.. and any normal great bow will take them right off the limb
No complain about thoroughness but, could these guides include and list at the start the ways how to get to the current scenario????
i got SO PISSED trying to clear the canopy i said fuck it and just ran. pretty much left every item up there... i'm liking this game less and less the further I go
At the end of one of the first branches is another stone sword key
South of the 1st Site of Grace, at the top of the branch you originally spawn in on, is another item.
Everyone can find every item in this area and in this game. It just takes time to do the exploring is all. There is nothing impossible in this game. It just simply takes time.
You should really be using serpentbone arrows with your bow. They're vastly superior. Well maybe not vastly superior but they are better!
Killing those mages with a bow isn't cheese! It's survival of the fittest =P
I used Radahn's bow for them. Makes their deaths much faster.
Idk why people dislike this area so much! just did it myself a few days ago and it only took an evening. Didn’t find any of the enemies in the first half too tough. Beat Loretta first try…
The inner second half of the area with all the knights and revenants and crossbow ballistas was a lot harder lol. Also, humble brag… I beat Malenia on my 3rd try (though I am level 160 🤫).
the miracle "Rejection" makes this area much easier
That giant envoy @5:18 gets me everytime. Even with a shield, I get knocked off. I never survive that jump down. I've tried a few things to kill him but always get obliterated. Anyone got any advice on how to take him out?
That proud you feel when u see u did all.
Wish I came here before getting stuck in Farum Azul 😑
Damn you Godskin Duo! 🤬
What is crimson cloak you’re wearing at the beginning of the video? Somehow I totally missed this
To make it easier, use the greatbow to knock enemy off the tree...
I was scared to death while in this area so I am sure I missed a ton.
