The only downside is their response to "What if there were 2 bosses in a single fight" which results in many unbalanced fights that can make one mald insanely hard. And also one specific boss which summons 2 of the strong kind of knights as the battle starts :(
I think the Dragon Lord Plasidusax fight should be included on this list, easily one of the craziest secrets I found in my play through and I believe it’s the only way you can remove the frenzied mark of the three fingers
@@ollyoop4036 You need to use an item that you get after seeing through the whole quest line of Millicent, and also requires beating Malenia. Then you can cure the frenzied flame at the coliseum where Plasidusax is, even without beating him you just need to get there.
You need miquales needle to remove the frenzy flame. Millicent quest after defeating malenia unsert the golden needle and get miquales needle. R the purple loot is the recipes by thr finger print shield.
You can actually access Moghyn’s Blood Palace much earlier by talking to Varre at Rose Church in Liurnia and completing his quest. The blood palace has one of the best rune farming spots in the game!
It really is astonishing how massive this game really is. It truly is amazing and incredibly well designed and so much fun to explore. Hats off to the people who worked on it.
Going up to the waterfall after killing the gargoyles and finding that coffin by accident to take me to Deeproot Depths. It was like secret leading to secret, except the secrets in this game are huge areas with bosses and lore. The sheer thrill of discovery in this game… It reminds me of the first time I played Shadow of the Colossus. But, you know, filled with enemies.
@@zuxyr Define secret. It's an optional area that is hidden behind either walking through that waterfall or attacking behind the chest in Mohg's room. If that isn't secret, wtf is.
@@igotnukes6011 Actually in my first play, I just saw the light from the grace checkpoint pointing directly toward the coffin so I just go check and hop on by accident. The point is, the game kinda gives big hints there so yeah the area is not that secret imo.
The moment I went into the elevator down, having run from horrible bears in a panic, and realising there was a whole other map layer whilst half the map above ground was still dark. Blew my little mind. Didn't get far since those slow moving enemies were so tanky
I'm still shocked the amount of times I thought I thoroughly explored an area (like Limegrave) only to go back for a quest or hear about something online only to find a brand new area or secret I missed.
Even i missed some secret caves and a side-boss fight near the over brige area that connects limgrave to storm-castle. Seemingly empty area but it has 2 caves and a catacombs lol. Talk about content in this game.
once I finished the academy, I started following the "route" on the wiki.. even though Im super thorough and hate missing things there was a LOT that I missed..
I took my time playing elden ring and when I finished my journey I was at 180 hours, i hit every place but I still missed some quests and lost of spells and items, it’s so huge that you’ll miss something every time
Im so deep in this game, abaout 160 hrs in and loving it and I dont typically get too far in souls type games. From the various tombs, dungeons and story, truly is awesome. For me the boss's still give me a "wtf"feeling but its been a fun ride so far.
Can we take time to appreciate all this? Game map is massive, so much exploration to do and hidden secrets. No annoying loading screen between zones, and you got freedom to go just about anywhere right off the start and the list goes on. I didn't hesitate to purchase and money was well spent. Hope other studios try to deliver something equal to this and not some half ass games with glitchy gameplay.
Totally agree, this game is a masterpiece it definitely deserves the appreciation and love its getting. Money well spent for sure, the beautiful and densely packed open world environments are mind blowing
@@critical-thinker666 what do you mean "trash rewards?" did you even explore the whole map and do NPC quests? There's tons of cool weapons, armor, spells, and incantations to collect and much more that make the game an amazing experience. I'm not sure what you're talking about but everyone I talk to who finished Elden ring or are playing it love the game.
@@tejathelegend i explored about 95% of the map and 99% rewards are souls gems,upgrade components or some random crafting material.... IF YOU ARE LUCKY you can get stonekey or HP rune. armor is kinda pointless in this game since you will get 3 shoted with best armor and 40 vigor and 60 poise with all talismans negating dmg 😂 I had about 200 of every crafting mat... never crafted anything in 80 hours. never used single incantation or spell and final boss took me 5 tries and i was like..... thats it? For someone who played all fromsoft games this is rly dissapointing game,this is FILLER SOULS 4 : REUSED EVERYTHING you can find so many bosses/locations from previus games that i though that im playing ds 3 from time to time.
I came across everyone of these areas in my first play through. Took me forever to complete this game because I had no idea what I was doing. Everytime a boss was too tough to beat I’d try a different direction or try find a special weapon someone told me about. Genuinely, the best game I’ve ever played by a mile
I found all of these areas entirely different ways, I love this game so much. Seems like some areas just have non linear backdoors for the sake of getting wrecked for being in the wrong place.
I remember being so surprised and astonished when I randomly came across Siofra River... and then getting obliterated by the spirit archers Edit: Oh and the crabs... can't forget about the crabs
I literally just found it like an hour ago. It's one of the coolest looking places in the game so far. I had just died on a corpse run, so had the liberty of being completely fearless and thought "Where does this lead to?"
I have good news for you: the rest of the game is so, so, so much worse than spirit archers 😂 just keep moving forward and don't get discouraged. Sometimes you may just need to come back a bit later
I’ve put 30 hours into the game and from watching your vids it reminds me I barely scratched the surface of the game. It’s so good and rewarding I’m loving every minute of it. Also another awesome vid guys, good work 👏🏻
Quick little Tip and correction: You can reach Nokstella without the portal in Rennas Rise, there is a coffin you can "sleep" into in another underground area that takes you to the same place the teleport does! Love the content lads keep it coming :)
After defeating the double gargoyle fight in nokron, there is a coffin which brings you to the deep root depth, then near the third bonfire there, thaaats when it takes you to ainsel river main to finish off the nokstella area which will also guide you to the lake of the rot and astel the secret boss fight
Woah, I actually found almost all of them on my first playthrough, except for the upside down tower, the frenzied flame and the portal back to the starting area. So thanks for those :)
The amount of grinding that the crew of gameranx has to put in on top of how hard this game is, just jaw dropping and much appreciated, it doesn't go unnoticed!
Invisible walls? Don't you mean visible, false walls or illusory walls? Invisible walls are things you get at the end of most open world games where it looks like you can keep going, but you can't because of a wall that you can't see.
@@JBrandonMercer123 Given that you're so insistent on semantics: Language evolves with use. "Invisible wall" has been the term for fake walls in Souls games since forever. Good luck trying to change a term the entire community acknowledges. People will also forever call grace/lamps/sculptor statues "bonfires" and the currency will always be "souls".
Surprisingly I found the Haligtree Medallion on my own and it felt so satisfying to discover something hidden away in such an obscure place. Elden Ring is amazing and it would be much more amazing if only I wasn't maidenless.
Do you mean the 1/2 in the Abernathy Gould’s in that random scary ass cave sorry I’m not gonna forgive my series incompetence she can’t wait to spell her name right
There are numerous night encounters in this game worth mentioning, I’m sure we’ve all seen the Night Cavalry by now. But there’s actually a secret boss outside of a sealed village guarded by a giant in Caelid. It’s called the Deathrite Crow and it’s basically the skeleton of a bird possessed by black flame magic. My guess is, there’s a lot of night time bosses that wander the lands between, so keep an eye out for those who lurk in the dark.
@@highraven8891 I wonder if you’re talking about the group of giants near the Margit boss zone. I’ll have to check that out. This one I’m talking about gave me issues even at level 90+
@@SekiberiusWelkesh I’m pretty sure you get a special something for defeating all of the Night Cavalry, so I wonder if the same applies to the Deathrite Birds? The one I mentioned was the only one I’ve found so far, and it have me a “greatsword” which is more of a poker with a crow’s talon attached to the end.
There's actually another way to reach Nokstella earlier. From the Unnamed Eternal City Grace Site in the Deeproot depths, if you go toward the waterfall that drops into nothingness you can find another coffin to crawl into and it'll take you to the Ansel River Main area which leads to Nokstella.
After you defeat the natural-born of the void there's a huge area after that, but you need to be pretty much 100% complete with rannis questline and have her ring in you're inventory to unlock it. There is a hidden cave in the caleid wilds that is part of seller's questline And in Raya lucaria, at the bottom of that giant gear elevator where you get the cat talisman is an iron maiden. If you let it eat you, AND YOU HAVE TO DIE FROM THIS, it will teleport you to a secret area in volcano manor. You need to make another video on secret areas because, quite frankly, there is A LOT
@@AccuracyBeast It’s just a boss room, nothing else in it except an elevator after that room that leads to be top of the mountain that the albanauric village is under
Damn, 90 hours in and still in awe of how much there is to discover in this crazy game, thanks for this, been trying to find the 3 fingers for a while now👍
@@scott96999 ye generic xD its givin u Total frreedom basicly nothin but last area is capped if u are Gut enaught u can get evry where, main hub is basicly free to explore and u dont even have to defeat single boss to progres to the highest lvl areas, ye generic xD
Jarburg eventually gets attacked and it is tied to Diallos' quest....so there are things to do there...also it's a great resource for many plants/flowers
That's funny, I found the left half from the guy in the jar when I first visited the area and spent a ton of time trying to find the other half (hadn't been to the mountains yet) so same frustration just opposite! Thanks for the heads up on that!
Not gonna lie, Elden Ring is probably the perfect RPG for me… I love the sense of exploration and the dungeons are top notch! Stormveil Castle blew my damn mind, I kept exploring and the more I explored the more I found… secret after secret, crazy platforming and shortcuts… I thought it was unique, but then Raya Lucaria had the same thing! It just goes on and on! I love it… Games don’t all need to be this massive, but should absolutely learn from this game about exploration, true and honest CHOICE and have the bravery to make thing optional! So many games are afraid of making things optional because we might skip it.. but The Witcher, and Elden Ring have taught me that if you make a compelling and enjoyable game with lots to find… we will absolutely find it all! I doubt anyone skipped the Bloody Baron quest, or didn’t do Rannis quests, even though they’re optional. I only just beat Rennalla because I basically did 100% on Limgrave and the weeping peninsula.. etc. I can’t help but explore every inch of everywhere before I move on.
It's amazing how they managed to make an open world game but still keep the sense of discovery you get from exploring from more linear games like dark souls and Bloodborne.
0:10 Jar town Liurnia 1:08 Inverted Carian study hall 2:36 Eternal city of Nokron 3:53 Miquella's Haligtree 5:10 Volcano manor 6:15 Mogwin palace 7:07 Nokstella 7:59 Lake of rot 8:59 Deeproot depths 10:07 Frenzied flame prescription 11:34 Starting area
You can also reach the Mohg Lord of Blood by completing a side quest line at Rose Church in Liurnia with the NPC who deems you maidenless at the beginning of the game. However, you're probably at a more appropriate level to fight him by the time you reach the northern portal.
I'm officially 100 hours into this game. I'm trying to do a full run of the game, with most side-quests completed and looking into every corner of the map, and I'm not even close to getting to the end of the game. I don't know what kind of development cycle Fromsoftware had to go through to deliver us this priceless gem, but I thank god they made it. This game is amazing.
I just beat the last boss at 107 hours and I still have to go back through and finish some hero's graves and catacombs that I missed! There is no lacking of things to do in Elden Ring
@@nicholasbarrett7131 From Soft started development of Elden Ring in 2017 after the Ringed City DS3 DLC, and created this game alongside Sekiro. They've been super busy these past 5 years!
Fun little tidbit of info for ya: Siofra is actually an Irish feminine name that means something along the lines of elf or fairy. It's also pronounced Shee-fra. FromSoft do like their Irish names and words I've noticed.
Stumbling across each new area, some by accident is very exciting. Really enjoying all the Elden ring content lately, thank you for all your hard work you guys
The Frenzied Flame area is actually one of the endings as well... however according to people it is the... very bad ending idk the details fully, but I've mainly just been exploring whatever meets my fancy lol, I really liked the Capital's area (no matter how much it caused me a fair amount of grief) all the bright white and gold aesthetic and design really says a lot
What kind of ending it is depends on your own personal ideas. I actually prefer that ending over all the others because it truly breaks the cycle. (You could argue the same with the ranni ending but that's still very different.) The cinematic is awesome.
I find it hilarious that they show Loretta when talking about Melania at the end of the haligtree section, so players will get there and be like "oh yeah hardest boss... wait that was too easy" and then they continue and find melania...
I wasn’t a fan of the other 4 games (but I enjoyed Sekiro). And this game was just so pretty I didn’t want to not give it a chance. And I’m loving it. So glad I picked myself up a copy.
This game.... Let me tell you....... Yeah this game.... I'm honestly mesmerized by many if the locations. Art direction trumps graphics any day of the week and twice on Sunday. My only complaint is KB&M. I have to use my Wooting 2 keyboard via the wootility and rebind keys. Also same for my Logitech Ergo max thumb trackball. rebound as many things as I could. Now i can Play with authority.... I have 100 hours in at lvl 63 and i can tell 500 hours is around the corner. This video showed me several things i didn't know about, thanks gameranx...
Most of these areas aren't hidden or a secret at all, they are mostly part of the story line and will be unlocked or accessible by progressing the game normally
The only thing so far id add is the ability to break down weapon upgrades for materials back. I have so many new weapons but none are as strong as my upgraded one so why would I ever use weaker weapons?
Fun fact! you can get to Mohgwyn a lot sooner by completing a questline given by White-Faced Varré after defeating Godrick. At the end he gives you a Medallion that teleports you there on use.
@@unintentional_smile I'm mostly drawn to these spoiler because there's a region I can't reach in Luirnia. The space directly above the Albinauric village. There's clearly a tower up there, or something, but I can't seem to find a way up there.
@@romanemp1985 I haven’t found a way up there, either. I figured it’s via a sending gate I haven’t found yet (or some similar mechanism). I’ve only gone through one at Four Belfries so it could be one of those.
There's a false wall in the room with the frenzied flame door that is a second way into the Deeproot Depths. The wall has a chest behind it but there's another false wall behind it which leads to one of the Deeproot graces.
Theres also another boss below Godrick. You go to the grace right before him and instead of going right you continue straight up the small hill. From there you want to do is turn right and follow the ledge around the area. There's a bit of jumping involved and a small fall but it leads you to another small secret boss.
The Nokstella probably will be more commonly accessed by finding the coffin in the Darkroot Depths as I reached it prior to advancing that far in Ranni's storyline. Also, there is a hint to how to open the Frenzied Flame Door with a clue before it telling you to approach it as a wretch, a class which started out essentially naked in the game. Surprised the Moonlight Altar wasn't mentioned as well.
10:55 In this room, a wall is an illusion. You can't attack in here so just try rolling then u will find a chest. Then roll again to wall behind the chest. U will be shocked when u seee where u r.
My god I'm 75 hours in a d I've only killed about 12 bosses, but I've found so many areas I can tell I'm not ready for, I hadn't played in over a year so thought I'd re roll a new character (faith, dex, strength, mind, vigor build, first time trying this, great so far) the money's worth out of this game is insane
After 80 hours and grinding to level 179 quite easily, this went from a difficult game in the beginning to a cupcake by the end of it. Big shout out to mimic tear, rotten breath, and the ruins greatsword. When the game was brutal early on, it was really brutal, exhilaratingly so. But that made me enjoy easy mode so much more
You can also get to the Lord of Blood area by doing a mini questline where you talk to the first NPC that calls you maidenless in Liurnia of the Lakes (he moves from the starting area to the Rose Church after you obtain one great rune). You need to invade 3 times with the fingers he gives you, talk to him again, and take the cloth he gives you and use it on the maiden that's located in the Church of Inhibition. When you take the bloodied cloth back to the NPC, he'll give you the blood badge that you can use to be teleported to the secret area.
To be honest I rarely know if the dungeon I am doing is optional or part of the main game. Lol Exploration feels so rewarding. I just did the ant tunnels with the dragonkin boss. Love yalls videos by the way.
Only in a From Soft game in the Souls universe, does finding a village inhabited by sentient jar people living down a cliff side feel weird… Weird because the JAR PEOPLE are chill, and friendly. Not because they’re literal JAR PEEPS! No! That’s fine… it feels uncanny and weird to be there because no one is trying to pull your spine out through your face.
One correction, you can also get to mohg's palace area if youve gotten over halfway through varres questline. After soaking a cloth he gives you in maidens blood, he gives you an item that can teleport you to the mohg palace area. Best rune farm in th game, 50k runes per time you load the area
I'd just like to point out how classy and elegant you guys where with being super informative whilst also not spoiling anything. Even the drops or loot you'd get from a place you didn't even get or go near. Great video as always, can't wait for the next one🤘💪
160 hours into this game (probably realistically about 120 hours of actual playing time) and I'm on "Journey 2" and still discovering new things. this game is absolutely incredible
The fromsoft games have always been great to play with guides, so much of the coolest shit is "impossible" to find by yourself, even after spending way to many hours playing them. Its truly a modern take on the flipped castle in symphony of the night, a game that really shines (intensely bright) when you unfold all the convoluted secrets, this is just the same.
U can quickstep through the lake of rot a little faster but I found my fp better used on the “flame,cleanse me” incantation . U can survive and if u just commit and run south for the next bonfire. . . And heal when u need to. Take care of the rot on platforms and jump as far as possible into the red stuff too and u won’t always get the rot between platforms too. I spent way too much time at this place
11:00 There is a quest with a blind maiden that you must give 3 shabiririgrapes. You will meet her down there at the end and she will tell you the secret how to open the door. Also down there opposite of the grace is a illusionery wall 2 in a row that lead you to a second secret area.
Finding the dungeon hidden behind a false wall in Caelid, near the graveyard. The boss or should I say bosses, as there are 3 of them are a toughie. Good stuff in this dungeon, plus other secret walls, so go hitting things and see what you find. This game is awesome, and I hope FromSoftware continue with this format going forward.
@@verg1l9 Go to Fort Faroth and then find the updraft for Torent. Along the cliff. Drop down and it's just along that wall behind the biggest square tombstone (Big Skeleton in front of it). Hit the rockface around that area from which you just dropped down. The dungeon is called:- Sellia Hideaway. Hope that helps
I realize that this may already have been mentioned but Getting to Moghyen via the consecrated snowfield portal is NOT the only way to get there. I got to the palace super early in the game by completing an NPC quest. Love the videos that you all do!
Love this game. Easily one of my top five games. And this game also terrifies me. Stormveil Castle and Haligtree gave me SO MUCH ANXIETY going through them the first time around.
@@Jim26D Sorry for the late reply! My bad if you've already figured out, but you have to do some platforming around that area and find a key--and also another area that you need to keep an eye on ledges for.
If you had met Hyetta and fed her the shabriri grapes which is quite complicated on her own, she appears before the frenzied flame proscription and tells you how to open the door.
The level of exploration in Elden Ring is unparallel. It's like the major feature of the game is no longer the hard bosses, but exploring and finding all the secrets!
All of these areas are cool, interesting, and fun. I absolutely LOVE this game. Currently at 130 hours on my first play through. But these things are *not* secrets… they’re just OPTIONAL areas that aren’t required if you mainline the story. If you actually EXPLORE or listen to NPCs there’s no reason you wouldn’t traverse down into the meteor crash site, or go up to the coffin to find the deeproot depths, or find the volcano manor entrance when you’re literally told there’s a passageway in the room next door, or using the item from Verre to transport to Mohgwyn’s Palace, using the Four Belfries and other waygates in the game. Just saying, optional areas aren’t secret just because they’re not required through the main quest line lol.
There’s another way to get to Mohgwyn Palace a lot easier and earlier. If you follow White-Faced Varre’s questline he’ll give you an item called the Pureblood Knight Medal. If you use it, it will transport you straight to the palace. It’s also a great place to farm souls if you use the right equipment.
what makes me most happy about how secluded these areas can be is that it’s very easy to find them through natural but they usually have two ways to get in. Like you can get to the deeproot depths through the way you described but there’s the double secret wall hidden behind the frenzied flame door area that also gets you there. Moghyn palace has the teleporter and can be gotten to through Varre. Love fromsoft giving you multiple options
This game is insane! Every area shocks me with how big it is. I think, “Damn there’s no way I can explore this whole area” Then I fight a boss which opens up a new area that looks twice as big as the previous! Then there seems like there 5+ more areas of equal size! It’s crazy! Is anyone else intimidated and kinda exhausted by the scope of this game???
Yeah I totally agree! This game's map is absolutely massive, and it can definitely be intimidating. I decided to go explore the full map and underground, and now I have to go back and search those areas fully for all the loot I missed XD
@@raider_reaper_4194 Dude let me tell you this game is huge! You're going to absolutely have a blast exploring it! I hope you have fun with this game and just be prepared to die, a lot 😅
Ive never had so much fun playing a game that I've spent so many hours playing and still don't know what I'm doing. Just exploring is fun and no game has ever done that in my opinion
The Haligtree is a beautiful area, and there is actually a little questline you can follow from Sir Gideon in Roundtable Hold, where he tell you to go to a place and seek out another NPC, who supposedly knows the location of the other half of the medallion. Also, the damage of the enemies in the Haligtree is super overtuned; I'm talking nearly 4x damage from their equivalents in Leyndell. Bring your finest cheese

@@critical-thinker666 what do you mean "trash rewards?" did you even explore the whole map and do NPC quests? There's tons of cool weapons, armor, spells, and incantations to collect and much more that make the game an amazing experience. I'm not sure what you're talking about but everyone I talk to who finished Elden ring or are playing it love the game.
@@tejathelegend i explored about 95% of the map and 99% rewards are souls gems,upgrade components or some random crafting material.... IF YOU ARE LUCKY you can get stonekey or HP rune.
armor is kinda pointless in this game since you will get 3 shoted with best armor and 40 vigor and 60 poise with all talismans negating dmg 😂
I had about 200 of every crafting mat... never crafted anything in 80 hours.
never used single incantation or spell and final boss took me 5 tries and i was like..... thats it?
For someone who played all fromsoft games this is rly dissapointing game,this is FILLER SOULS 4 : REUSED EVERYTHING
you can find so many bosses/locations from previus games that i though that im playing ds 3 from time to time.

I came across everyone of these areas in my first play through. Took me forever to complete this game because I had no idea what I was doing. Everytime a boss was too tough to beat I’d try a different direction or try find a special weapon someone told me about. Genuinely, the best game I’ve ever played by a mile
No way IN HELL you found (on your own) the 2nd part of the medallion where the guy is inside the pot
Loving this game so much. I have so many things left to do, now including some of these areas. I am only 50 hours in but ready to play for 100 more!!
Same. I’ve been avoiding looking up guides myself.
at 100 hours in you won't feel close to done

You wont have anything to so after 100 hrs

I found all of these areas entirely different ways, I love this game so much. Seems like some areas just have non linear backdoors for the sake of getting wrecked for being in the wrong place.
I remember being so surprised and astonished when I randomly came across Siofra River... and then getting obliterated by the spirit archers
Edit: Oh and the crabs... can't forget about the crabs
I literally just found it like an hour ago. It's one of the coolest looking places in the game so far. I had just died on a corpse run, so had the liberty of being completely fearless and thought "Where does this lead to?"

Quick little Tip and correction: You can reach Nokstella without the portal in Rennas Rise, there is a coffin you can "sleep" into in another underground area that takes you to the same place the teleport does!
Love the content lads keep it coming :)
Yo wheres the cofffin? =D
@@jordanmurphy4156 its in the deeproot depths where that "milky" waterfall they mentioned in the video is. super easy to miss
After defeating the double gargoyle fight in nokron, there is a coffin which brings you to the deep root depth, then near the third bonfire there, thaaats when it takes you to ainsel river main to finish off the nokstella area which will also guide you to the lake of the rot and astel the secret boss fight
Woah, I actually found almost all of them on my first playthrough, except for the upside down tower, the frenzied flame and the portal back to the starting area.
So thanks for those :)
👍🏼
The amount of grinding that the crew of gameranx has to put in on top of how hard this game is, just jaw dropping and much appreciated, it doesn't go unnoticed!
In the room with the frenzied door, there are a few invisible walls that also lead down to the roots of the erd tree :)
Invisible walls? Don't you mean visible, false walls or illusory walls? Invisible walls are things you get at the end of most open world games where it looks like you can keep going, but you can't because of a wall that you can't see.

There are numerous night encounters in this game worth mentioning, I’m sure we’ve all seen the Night Cavalry by now. But there’s actually a secret boss outside of a sealed village guarded by a giant in Caelid. It’s called the Deathrite Crow and it’s basically the skeleton of a bird possessed by black flame magic. My guess is, there’s a lot of night time bosses that wander the lands between, so keep an eye out for those who lurk in the dark.
i found one that was the same. it was like a giant crow but skeletal! early game by a lot of giants.
@@highraven8891
I wonder if you’re talking about the group of giants near the Margit boss zone. I’ll have to check that out. This one I’m talking about gave me issues even at level 90+
That damn birdperson always wrecks me when i stumble across it.
There're quite a few Deathrite birds(black flame ones) and quite a few of the weaker deathbirds(normal), there are 4 of each I believe.
@@SekiberiusWelkesh
I’m pretty sure you get a special something for defeating all of the Night Cavalry, so I wonder if the same applies to the Deathrite Birds? The one I mentioned was the only one I’ve found so far, and it have me a “greatsword” which is more of a poker with a crow’s talon attached to the end.
There's actually another way to reach Nokstella earlier. From the Unnamed Eternal City Grace Site in the Deeproot depths, if you go toward the waterfall that drops into nothingness you can find another coffin to crawl into and it'll take you to the Ansel River Main area which leads to Nokstella.
Nope. I didn't and just happened upon it. Think you still need to progress in the quest to get through to the void natural born boss though.
Now just need to wait for Vaati to make a lore video about the 3 fingers and the frenzied flame. Need all the lore and info!!!
Vaati should be a Souls lore boss😂😂😂
He even released a lore before the actual release of the game
After you defeat the natural-born of the void there's a huge area after that, but you need to be pretty much 100% complete with rannis questline and have her ring in you're inventory to unlock it.
There is a hidden cave in the caleid wilds that is part of seller's questline
And in Raya lucaria, at the bottom of that giant gear elevator where you get the cat talisman is an iron maiden. If you let it eat you, AND YOU HAVE TO DIE FROM THIS, it will teleport you to a secret area in volcano manor.
You need to make another video on secret areas because, quite frankly, there is A LOT
Do you mean the *spoilers* moonlight altar?
I accidentally went the secret volcano manor area very under level it's terrifying
So what exactly is in that void area because it looked dull and empty to me...
@@AccuracyBeast It’s just a boss room, nothing else in it except an elevator after that room that leads to be top of the mountain that the albanauric village is under

Also has a little Jar NPC to talk to, tied to that quest. (thought it was worth mentioning)
Been playing since release and I love that there's still so much left to discover.
👌
Number 5 can also be found from an item you get with the bloody finger at the rose church. The guy from the first step has a quest there.
That's funny, I found the left half from the guy in the jar when I first visited the area and spent a ton of time trying to find the other half (hadn't been to the mountains yet) so same frustration just opposite! Thanks for the heads up on that!
Same XD
Not gonna lie, Elden Ring is probably the perfect RPG for me… I love the sense of exploration and the dungeons are top notch! Stormveil Castle blew my damn mind, I kept exploring and the more I explored the more I found… secret after secret, crazy platforming and shortcuts… I thought it was unique, but then Raya Lucaria had the same thing! It just goes on and on! I love it…
Games don’t all need to be this massive, but should absolutely learn from this game about exploration, true and honest CHOICE and have the bravery to make thing optional!
So many games are afraid of making things optional because we might skip it.. but The Witcher, and Elden Ring have taught me that if you make a compelling and enjoyable game with lots to find… we will absolutely find it all! I doubt anyone skipped the Bloody Baron quest, or didn’t do Rannis quests, even though they’re optional.
I only just beat Rennalla because I basically did 100% on Limgrave and the weeping peninsula.. etc. I can’t help but explore every inch of everywhere before I move on.
It's amazing how they managed to make an open world game but still keep the sense of discovery you get from exploring from more linear games like dark souls and Bloodborne.

You can also reach the Mohg Lord of Blood by completing a side quest line at Rose Church in Liurnia with the NPC who deems you maidenless at the beginning of the game. However, you're probably at a more appropriate level to fight him by the time you reach the northern portal.
I'm officially 100 hours into this game. I'm trying to do a full run of the game, with most side-quests completed and looking into every corner of the map, and I'm not even close to getting to the end of the game. I don't know what kind of development cycle Fromsoftware had to go through to deliver us this priceless gem, but I thank god they made it.
This game is amazing.
I just beat the last boss at 107 hours and I still have to go back through and finish some hero's graves and catacombs that I missed! There is no lacking of things to do in Elden Ring
Yeah i am really concern at fromsoft i hope they are sleeping there
Ya I feel like they where probably making this game for a good 8 years, it’s one of the biggest games I have ever seen
@@nicholasbarrett7131 From Soft started development of Elden Ring in 2017 after the Ringed City DS3 DLC, and created this game alongside Sekiro. They've been super busy these past 5 years!
Well here’s a heads up , its damn near impossible to do a “full run” on a FromSoftware game
Fun little tidbit of info for ya: Siofra is actually an Irish feminine name that means something along the lines of elf or fairy. It's also pronounced Shee-fra. FromSoft do like their Irish names and words I've noticed.
Stumbling across each new area, some by accident is very exciting. Really enjoying all the Elden ring content lately, thank you for all your hard work you guys
"Elden Ring is soo massive" is the new "Skyrim is so massive" that we've been hearing for 10 years straight :D
4:31 Funfact: I have the medallion half from the pot but didn't know where to get the other half. Now I know, thanks
The Frenzied Flame area is actually one of the endings as well... however according to people it is the... very bad ending idk the details fully, but I've mainly just been exploring whatever meets my fancy lol, I really liked the Capital's area (no matter how much it caused me a fair amount of grief) all the bright white and gold aesthetic and design really says a lot
What kind of ending it is depends on your own personal ideas. I actually prefer that ending over all the others because it truly breaks the cycle. (You could argue the same with the ranni ending but that's still very different.)
The cinematic is awesome.
I find it hilarious that they show Loretta when talking about Melania at the end of the haligtree section, so players will get there and be like "oh yeah hardest boss... wait that was too easy" and then they continue and find melania...
Thing I love about the game is that if you can see something on your screen, you can go there.
Safe to say that Gameranx is addicted to this game... like many of us!!
I wasn’t a fan of the other 4 games (but I enjoyed Sekiro). And this game was just so pretty I didn’t want to not give it a chance. And I’m loving it. So glad I picked myself up a copy.
The sense of discovery in Elden Ring is unmatched imo.
Ensa is the one who did the destruction in the town thats burned with the pot guy. I think.
This game.... Let me tell you....... Yeah this game....
I'm honestly mesmerized by many if the locations. Art direction trumps graphics any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
My only complaint is KB&M. I have to use my Wooting 2 keyboard via the wootility and rebind keys. Also same for my Logitech Ergo max thumb trackball. rebound as many things as I could. Now i can Play with authority....
I have 100 hours in at lvl 63 and i can tell 500 hours is around the corner.
This video showed me several things i didn't know about, thanks gameranx...
Most of these areas aren't hidden or a secret at all, they are mostly part of the story line and will be unlocked or accessible by progressing the game normally
This is the best game the company has made. I have been hyper critical of their games, but this one is actually amazing.
The only thing so far id add is the ability to break down weapon upgrades for materials back. I have so many new weapons but none are as strong as my upgraded one so why would I ever use weaker weapons?
What dark souls and blood borne are great
Fun fact! you can get to Mohgwyn a lot sooner by completing a questline given by White-Faced Varré after defeating Godrick. At the end he gives you a Medallion that teleports you there on use.
I’ve been playing for 80 hrs, telling myself not to see any spoilers. But the game is so massive, I can’t help myself at this point.

@@romanemp1985 I haven’t found a way up there, either. I figured it’s via a sending gate I haven’t found yet (or some similar mechanism). I’ve only gone through one at Four Belfries so it could be one of those.
@@unintentional_smile Do you want the spoiler? I figured out how to get up there.
@@romanemp1985 nooooo ;P
Constantly mind blown by how deep this game goes. What a masterpiece
Ubisoft should be taking notes 📝 and so should the rest of the industry about open world games.
There's a false wall in the room with the frenzied flame door that is a second way into the Deeproot Depths. The wall has a chest behind it but there's another false wall behind it which leads to one of the Deeproot graces.
Theres also another boss below Godrick. You go to the grace right before him and instead of going right you continue straight up the small hill. From there you want to do is turn right and follow the ledge around the area. There's a bit of jumping involved and a small fall but it leads you to another small secret boss.
You mean in the basement where you find that Cthulhu face? Rogier sends you there for his quest if I remember.
The Nokstella probably will be more commonly accessed by finding the coffin in the Darkroot Depths as I reached it prior to advancing that far in Ranni's storyline.
Also, there is a hint to how to open the Frenzied Flame Door with a clue before it telling you to approach it as a wretch, a class which started out essentially naked in the game.
Surprised the Moonlight Altar wasn't mentioned as well.
10:55
In this room, a wall is an illusion. You can't attack in here so just try rolling then u will find a chest. Then roll again to wall behind the chest. U will be shocked when u seee where u r.
My god I'm 75 hours in a d I've only killed about 12 bosses, but I've found so many areas I can tell I'm not ready for, I hadn't played in over a year so thought I'd re roll a new character (faith, dex, strength, mind, vigor build, first time trying this, great so far) the money's worth out of this game is insane
Just finish the game.....what an experience!
After 80 hours and grinding to level 179 quite easily, this went from a difficult game in the beginning to a cupcake by the end of it. Big shout out to mimic tear, rotten breath, and the ruins greatsword. When the game was brutal early on, it was really brutal, exhilaratingly so. But that made me enjoy easy mode so much more
I ain’t missing nothing! I’m a freaking cartographer in this one!
You can also get to the Lord of Blood area by doing a mini questline where you talk to the first NPC that calls you maidenless in Liurnia of the Lakes (he moves from the starting area to the Rose Church after you obtain one great rune). You need to invade 3 times with the fingers he gives you, talk to him again, and take the cloth he gives you and use it on the maiden that's located in the Church of Inhibition. When you take the bloodied cloth back to the NPC, he'll give you the blood badge that you can use to be teleported to the secret area.
To be honest I rarely know if the dungeon I am doing is optional or part of the main game. Lol
Exploration feels so rewarding.
I just did the ant tunnels with the dragonkin boss.
Love yalls videos by the way.
Only in a From Soft game in the Souls universe, does finding a village inhabited by sentient jar people living down a cliff side feel weird…
Weird because the JAR PEOPLE are chill, and friendly.
Not because they’re literal JAR PEEPS! No! That’s fine… it feels uncanny and weird to be there because no one is trying to pull your spine out through your face.
This game is a masterpiece!
One correction, you can also get to mohg's palace area if youve gotten over halfway through varres questline. After soaking a cloth he gives you in maidens blood, he gives you an item that can teleport you to the mohg palace area. Best rune farm in th game, 50k runes per time you load the area
I'd just like to point out how classy and elegant you guys where with being super informative whilst also not spoiling anything. Even the drops or loot you'd get from a place you didn't even get or go near. Great video as always, can't wait for the next one🤘💪
160 hours into this game (probably realistically about 120 hours of actual playing time) and I'm on "Journey 2" and still discovering new things. this game is absolutely incredible
The fromsoft games have always been great to play with guides, so much of the coolest shit is "impossible" to find by yourself, even after spending way to many hours playing them. Its truly a modern take on the flipped castle in symphony of the night, a game that really shines (intensely bright) when you unfold all the convoluted secrets, this is just the same.
I genuinely can’t stop playing this game now. It just never seems to end and I always find the maddest secrets
really love the secret field bosses that only pop up at certain time of day
U can quickstep through the lake of rot a little faster but I found my fp better used on the “flame,cleanse me” incantation . U can survive and if u just commit and run south for the next bonfire. . . And heal when u need to. Take care of the rot on platforms and jump as far as possible into the red stuff too and u won’t always get the rot between platforms too. I spent way too much time at this place
11:00 There is a quest with a blind maiden that you must give 3 shabiririgrapes. You will meet her down there at the end and she will tell you the secret how to open the door.
Also down there opposite of the grace is a illusionery wall 2 in a row that lead you to a second secret area.
I love this game.. The open world, the details, NPC's, the lore OMG
Glad I found these all lol I was hoping to see something I’ve missed
👏🏽
U can get to the blood place by doing varres questline too
Finding the dungeon hidden behind a false wall in Caelid, near the graveyard. The boss or should I say bosses, as there are 3 of them are a toughie. Good stuff in this dungeon, plus other secret walls, so go hitting things and see what you find. This game is awesome, and I hope FromSoftware continue with this format going forward.
Name of dungeon or at least general location?
@@verg1l9 Go to Fort Faroth and then find the updraft for Torent. Along the cliff. Drop down and it's just along that wall behind the biggest square tombstone (Big Skeleton in front of it).

I realize that this may already have been mentioned but Getting to Moghyen via the consecrated snowfield portal is NOT the only way to get there. I got to the palace super early in the game by completing an NPC quest. Love the videos that you all do!

You can get to Nokstella from open world by using elevator in liurnia. Same with Moghwyn palace, you can get there by using item you get from one npc.
Love this game. Easily one of my top five games. And this game also terrifies me.
Stormveil Castle and Haligtree gave me SO MUCH ANXIETY going through them the first time around.
Did you figure how to unlock the cells? I just finished exploring what I thought was the whole castle but could not get two locked doors open
@@Jim26D Sorry for the late reply! My bad if you've already figured out, but you have to do some platforming around that area and find a key--and also another area that you need to keep an eye on ledges for.
If you had met Hyetta and fed her the shabriri grapes which is quite complicated on her own, she appears before the frenzied flame proscription and tells you how to open the door.
I got the left half in a completely different location....
2 years later and 265 hours into this game and I’m still finding new content. This is a big part of what makes FromSoft games so special.
The level of exploration in Elden Ring is unparallel. It's like the major feature of the game is no longer the hard bosses, but exploring and finding all the secrets!
Absolutely im 33hrs in and still dont know how to play this game world is big as hellll
All of these areas are cool, interesting, and fun. I absolutely LOVE this game. Currently at 130 hours on my first play through. But these things are *not* secrets… they’re just OPTIONAL areas that aren’t required if you mainline the story.
If you actually EXPLORE or listen to NPCs there’s no reason you wouldn’t traverse down into the meteor crash site, or go up to the coffin to find the deeproot depths, or find the volcano manor entrance when you’re literally told there’s a passageway in the room next door, or using the item from Verre to transport to Mohgwyn’s Palace, using the Four Belfries and other waygates in the game.
Just saying, optional areas aren’t secret just because they’re not required through the main quest line lol.
Found them all in my first playthrough.
Don't know how.
"10 huge areas you'd have to basically speedrun the game to miss".
There’s another way to get to Mohgwyn Palace a lot easier and earlier. If you follow White-Faced Varre’s questline he’ll give you an item called the Pureblood Knight Medal. If you use it, it will transport you straight to the palace. It’s also a great place to farm souls if you use the right equipment.
This guy don’t know what secret means.

Which I won’t spoil, not whom.
what makes me most happy about how secluded these areas can be is that it’s very easy to find them through natural but they usually have two ways to get in. Like you can get to the deeproot depths through the way you described but there’s the double secret wall hidden behind the frenzied flame door area that also gets you there.
Moghyn palace has the teleporter and can be gotten to through Varre. Love fromsoft giving you multiple options
This game is too good, I love stumbling on these neat areas
That sense of discovery where, if you had just panned your camera A LITTLE more to the left, you would have found something.
With yesterdays update there is a NPC questline in Jarberg now!
This game is insane! Every area shocks me with how big it is. I think, “Damn there’s no way I can explore this whole area” Then I fight a boss which opens up a new area that looks twice as big as the previous! Then there seems like there 5+ more areas of equal size! It’s crazy!
Is anyone else intimidated and kinda exhausted by the scope of this game???
Yeah I totally agree! This game's map is absolutely massive, and it can definitely be intimidating. I decided to go explore the full map and underground, and now I have to go back and search those areas fully for all the loot I missed XD

The Haligtree is a beautiful area, and there is actually a little questline you can follow from Sir Gideon in Roundtable Hold, where he tell you to go to a place and seek out another NPC, who supposedly knows the location of the other half of the medallion. Also, the damage of the enemies in the Haligtree is super overtuned; I'm talking nearly 4x damage from their equivalents in Leyndell. Bring your finest cheese
