Leaving this here in case someone else experiences this and is confused. When trying to give the dragon priestess the concoction, she wasn't there when I waited until night time, & didn't appear when I tried fast traveling back. Waiting until morning & then night again fixed this for me though.
@@theSaysays radagon/elden beast are still the final boss of the game, so beating the final boss of the dlc has no effect on whether or not you can go to NG+. double check that you’ve done that & if you have then i’m not sure why you wouldn’t have the option
@@UpTopYuki yeah quest system in elden ring is trash tier. It punish player for free exploration and force you to play with a guide like a slave if you want to explore the game fully
@@Metrackkliterally all you have to do is talk to npcs at unmissable sites of grace. If you're blowing by npcs without talking to them, you probably don't care about quests anyway. It's almost impossible to mess up. Breaking the great rune just starts all their quests.
@@Based_investor I talked to npcs at sites of grace but just happened to go too far north and suddenly they were all gone. absolutely love this dlc but going in blind I missed practically all the quests
@@Based_investor "almost impossible to mess up" That is completely wrong. Nearly every NPC quest can be failed in several ways, and some of these include walking to undiscovered areas. By the way, these same quests require you to walk to undiscovered areas. Among other reasons, it is _incredibly_ easy to fail NPC quests; the basic opposite of "almost impossible."
@@Based_investor nah man, I actually enjoy how quests are done by fromsoftware but that invisible line at shadow is the worst punishment for doing what they want you to do >explore
Love this DLC, but these quests are not designed well. "Go explore! Oh, but if you walk to close to this castle or two feet past this point, quests break..." Quests moving forward after killing a boss, that makes sense. But don't punish the player for doing what you encourage them to do.
I agree. I feel like the map could’ve been created to guide you a little bit better. It literally took me getting to the final boss to realize that I skipped half the DLC and missed out on most of the quests. I genuinely thought I was checking every nook and cranny and that eventually I’ll be rerouted to the other side of the map but nope.
Even for players that refuse to use summons or aren't using summons on a playthrough, I think Igon deserves to be summoned regardless, just to appreciate that guy and give him his glory against Bayle 😂
@@KennysGarlic I summoned him during my 2 first attempts while I was getting used to Bayle's moveset. His dialogue was fire and dude was overpowered; could have killed Bayle in those tries but I let myself die to kill him on my own about 7 tries later. Still, very glad I gave him a chance to speak Lmao
You’re the man bro, I’m a truck driver and spend most of my week on the road and it’s hard for me to really explore the game. You really save me so much time. I appriciate it.
Youre a truck driver? You must be the type that speeds and almost crashes into people trying to pass slower moving traffic. 😂 (I'm joking, dont hate. Lol)
@@lu4737 might be a bit tedious, but what I did was fight a boss until I could beat them solo, then reload a back-save and beat them again with the NPCs.
You've gone above and beyond for this DLC. Thank you so so much. My friend is playing the DLC and wants to complete all quests but also wants to avoid spoilers. This more condensed video will allow myself to continuously refresh my knowledge on the quests without sitting through the 4 longer previous videos and assist him with that. Your previous videos were perfect for new players like I was a few days ago, but this is perfect for me now. You make the best guide videos I've ever seen.
Ah yes, FromSoft and their very intricate quest design. If you don't give poo poo pee pee the stone of yabba dabba doo at exactly 10:48 on a rainy Thursday night, your quest is fked. I love FromSoft and own the games they have, but unless you have guides like this, you're screwed.
this video is a bloody masterpiece. my approach to ER has always been explore and i was rewarded with high scadu level but a broken rune before doing anything or talking to anyone. you have provided me the best possible walkthrough for ng+ thank you. PS Imbibe Nectar SIX times? who figured that out by just dying and dying. fromsoft is insane and i fucking love it!!
Only issue with that is I don’t have the raw video files to use anymore, so I’d have to re-record everything. But yes, perhaps it might be worth doing. I want to do a handful more standalone videos for the DLC first though, for people that prefer that.
@ItsShatter If you do it, please focus on new games as a priority. As that is more important. Yes a summed up main game guide for Elden Ring is nice, I'd argue that at this point, a lot of people don't need it. I wouldn't say it would be niche, but it's not strictly necessary in my opinion ofc.
An absolutely phenomenal video! You, Shatter, made my experience so much more enjoyable. My most memorable moments in this DLC couldn't have happened without your help, so thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the guide! Figuring out what to do with all the quests is the puzzling I hate the most in From games. Everything is covered, detailed, clear and succinct; the format is perfect. This helped a lot, much appreciated!
thanks for all the effort put into these 15 videos series, its a must for a new player like me. i can complete 1 video every weakend, so my entire game will take around 3 months i think, but doing all this content is a must for me! :)
@@protonjones54 came to say this lol For those who missed it, the interaction goes as follows: *Ask about the silent monk* Leda: "Oh, that man is known as Dane. He's been in he service of Miquela the Kind longer than I. He might be solemn of cheer, but he is a fierce warrior nevertheless. There is no cause for concern, Dane's reluctance to speak to you is no fault of your own. We've been acquainted for quite some time but even I have yet to hear his voice. Perhaps one day..."
Their are 2 other Miquella cross sites you can tell ansbach about for extra lore. 1 is in the cerulion coast(southern shore grace) the second is just before you enter the underpass that leads to fort reprimand. A spirit spring can shoot you up.
I finished the DLC once, and managed to miss every single questline. I'm so bad at these. Everyone either dies or dissapears 🤣. This guide will help , thanks!
thank you so much for making this video. As of typing this comment, I have just finished the DLC and its quests thanks to this video. I decided to do the side quests in NG+1 because I basically just ran through the whole game in NG+0 without doing much of the side quests because I wanted to go in blind for the DLC and not look much info up to not spoil myself much for the first go-around in the Realm of Shadow, of course this led to me missing a lot of the side quests or steps in between the quests. I then discovered this video and man was it a huuuuuuge help with not missing anything, again big thanks mr. Shatter lol
Thank you for this shatter, Appreciate you, I'm actually on my 2nd DLC playthrough and doing some questline that i've missed since only 1 decision can be made.
It’s ridiculous that some quests have the mapped marked like volcano manor. Why couldn’t they do that for the rest of the other quests. Watching a guide for this to get cool stuff really takes the immersion out of the game.
Excelent video. I followed it during my second playthrough of the DLC. Very clear and easy to follow. Sadly I missed a couple of questlines with 2 rewards on my first, blind, run, so I will have to play it a third time to get it all. Huge thanks for the guide!
I see once again Fromsoft locks the best story/ narrative content in their games by arbitrarily placing it behind absurdly secretive npc quests that are impossible to follow without deliberately looking online for a guide, and seeing spoilers along with it. They still haven't learned their lesson about this crap even after 15 years of experience making souls-like games 🤦🤦🤦
@@tonylasagna3991 pretty idiotic point to make since I play & enjoy the games for a number of reasons, not just for the convoluted narrative side-content..
Hey man, I just wanted to really thank you. All your guides (the one's in the Playlist) makes the game so much better, i first played the game blind, then on ng+ i played both game and dlc using your guide, it was amazing , i didn't know i missed a bunch of interesting quests . Really appreciate what you are doing here broda. Keep up the good work 🙏👍 Thou art my guiding grace
Im extremely critical of overblown and overdrawn tutoring videos. I'm also critical of people who don't enough info. I hafta say this has got to be the best tutorial out there for a smooth transition into content
Things to note: the Irises of grace and occultation do carry over between playthrough. If you don’t interact with Thiolier until after beating the Putescent Knight, you can find him still find him at his original location afterwards and tell him of St Trina’s location. He will go down there and you can continue his quest from there.
Pretty good guide. This guide took me 3 days. And on the 4th day I respec to defeat radahn. Thanks for the guide. I will follow this again when I make a new build
I used the other guides to 100% the base game prior to the DLC, now I am missing one summons due to choices for puppets and the DLC items… so excited to do a NG +# to finish up and get 100% DLC
You can still complete most of the quests and get the rewards even if you do break the great rune just to put everyone's mind at ease. Obviously don't if you can but even if you did, follow this guide and you can recover quite nicely. Only thing I really missed out on was the cookbooks.
It's awesome that you made this guide.I went exploring for hours and taking my time so I was lucky enough to do all the quest (without realizing it) got all of their armour in my first playthrough but my friend missed every sidequest, so kudos for the guide man!!!
FYI for anyone wanting more resistance to Holy Damage for the final fight... i suggest using the Crucible Tree set along with the Black Knight Shield (87 holy resistance making it the highest resisting shield i know of) also try using the Pearl Shield, Pearl Drake +3, and Golden Braid for the upmost holy resistance i can think of getting in this game that doesn't include other items like the Pickled Liver. hope you find this helpful and if you find something that can add to this let me know :)
Brother, your main game complete walkthrough was so good, very thorough. This seems half-assed. I get it's been a while since the main game came out but you were the reason I was able to enjoy it to the extent that I did. A complete walkthrough of the dlc in a sequential video would be great. This is good but seems ..... again a little half-assed. I'm trying to follow but it's like jump here jump there, you should already have discovered most of the map kind thing.... makes it hard for me to follow given my unquestioned following of your main game complete videos. Much love for doing your videos and for marshmallow, but this is a bit confusing for my old ass trying to get the most out of the game. Was hoping for a "hold my hand" guide to the dlc too.
At around level 175 I was able to start ng+ on my main and speed ran through to the last boss so I could get the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending and get my platinum! Took me just under 3 hours to get 2 great runes (Stormveil Castle big boss + Rennala) and get the medallion halves to take the lift! Don't sweat going back in ng+ when you're between level 150-200 it'll feel easier than the base game did lol
I just wanted to say I did Thiollier’s Q backwards on my first playthrough as it was a completely blind experience. I killed Mesmer then went and found St. Trina while exploring. Then later I found Thiollier and just told him I found St. Trina in some cave by the coast and he was off to the cave. After that the steps repeat. You tell him the words, he invades you and that’s it.
Hey man, you don’t have to do igons quest line so early, it was one of the last things I did in my first playthrough and I was able to receive all of the rewards for one of the choices. I just mention this because bayle was top 3 in difficulty for me so I waited until late in the playthrough to take him down. And I don’t think I’m alone in feeling this was. Anyway, just a small piece of input. Really appreciate all of the effort you put in for us. These guides are killer and I wouldn’t have gotten 80% of what I have without them.
I did one of the questlines after having to look it up. I understand about adventure and all of that but I had I not looked it up. I wouldn’t know where or what to do and I will likely do it again with this guide
Thank you shatter, you work really hard and your videos are so well made, you deserve much much more support and we all appreciate what you’ve done you us. Thank you shatter.
I played through blind once, missed a heap and broke the great rune too early. Luckily, I have several playthroughs where I finished the main game without going on the Journey 2 so I have just restarted using one of those. I thought I did OK the first time but after watching this, I realise that I missed a bloody lot. Oh well, a noob I am.
Didn't you leave out the third option regarding the fight between Leda and Hornsent? I am talking about doing nothing and moving on to kill the boss there in Shadow Castle. That is what I accidentally did since I didn't notice the signs on my first playthrough. It at least gives Leda a new dialogue but I am not sure about what it does to the rewards.
If you like me and you went to the shadowkeep by accident just exploring here's a tip Moore's questline a lot of people are missing the cookbooks if you haven't told him to remain sad forever or the other option then you can still get all the forager cookbooks and the black liquid when you're in the queue and it's asking you to tell him to remain sad forever or the other option tell him you don't know this will basically be like I can't really make a decision go and collect all of the forager cookbooks and talk to that guy then go back and tell him to remain sad forever or the top option and continue to speak with him until he gives you the syrup as well as the 7th forger cookbook.
Im a bit confused are these all the quests that CAN be done before messmer or MUST be done before messmer ? beating that big ass dragon right off rip is fucking wild lmao .awesome guide thanks for all the work !
the bayle / dragon priestess and igon quest can be done at any time, so long as you have the Thiollier's concoction then both endings will be available. In my more comprehensive guide for going through the DLC for the first time I hold off on the igon questline for a while to get stronger.
@@ItsShatter cool makes sense i held off too but the thought of them making him the 2nd boss or you miss content gave me a good laugh haha ty for the guide homie
Wow i missed literally all of this just exploring on my own. 😂 from killing Moore after he invaded me simply for killing that nasty bug creature to finding st trina and killing thollier. Lmao. Guess I'll follow this guide on ng+. 😂
You can get the item from Thioller after you break the rune. If he’s still there and you have the syrup he will give you the item. If he’s gone from that spot your SOL tho
Those quests completion conditions are insanely convoluted and borderline up to luck. I managed to get most of them on my own but it felt like i was throwing sht at the wall and seeing what sticks. Warming a bug with a healing stone to get a cookbook?!!! 😂
8:25 it’s my first time seeing her and she has no dialogue for me except for “A-ah” and nothing more. I followed every step so far and all I’ve done differently is kill divine lion. I’m also on new game plus and I couldn’t do her quest the first time.
Glad I'm not the only one. I still can't get her to talk. I also killed the lion thing first I think so maybe we can only talk to them before the boss? I hope not...
Yeah you just skipped a step, just pick up the quest from there as normal, wear the divine beast helmet, talk to her, give scorpion stew to consent and keep going from there
The fact that I'm watching all of this as I've only interacted a bit with them prior the rune shattering (by this I mean I only talked to them and didnt do all the fancy stuff like informing the crosses and that) and haven't met them since (besides Ansbach in Shadow keep) terrifies me that I already messed up the quests Although I've learned that even skipping a few steps can still finish the quest normally i'm scared
Stuck on the Hornsent and Leda fight right now. Leda is at the grace saying she is gonna kill hornsent, Hornsent is MIA and their summon signs wont show up in Shadow Keep. Im not sure if i bugged it or failed the quests or what
I have a question please and I need to be answered how far can I play elden ring before I go to the downloadable content what happens if I finish the last boss will I lose my downloadable content and have to start over please answer this question
Do you mean the last boss of the game or the DLC? you can start playing the DLC as soon as you beat Mohg. I actually beat elden beast then beat mohg and then went to the DLC so you're good either way

Pretty good guide. This guide took me 3 days. And on the 4th day I respec to defeat radahn. Thanks for the guide. I will follow this again when I make a new build
I used the other guides to 100% the base game prior to the DLC, now I am missing one summons due to choices for puppets and the DLC items… so excited to do a NG +# to finish up and get 100% DLC
This is incredible, thanks for taking the time brother, WITH MAPS!!!
Blasphemous blade is a life saver in this dlc ❤️🔥✨
@@Thevaulttrainingonline don't cheese the dlc bruh🤣🤣
You can still complete most of the quests and get the rewards even if you do break the great rune just to put everyone's mind at ease. Obviously don't if you can but even if you did, follow this guide and you can recover quite nicely. Only thing I really missed out on was the cookbooks.
What's funny Is that you can almost go through all the Dlc without fighting a major boss
14:00 damn bro really just said "we don't need him anymore"
It's awesome that you made this guide.I went exploring for hours and taking my time so I was lucky enough to do all the quest (without realizing it) got all of their armour in my first playthrough but my friend missed every sidequest, so kudos for the guide man!!!
FYI for anyone wanting more resistance to Holy Damage for the final fight... i suggest using the Crucible Tree set along with the Black Knight Shield (87 holy resistance making it the highest resisting shield i know of) also try using the Pearl Shield, Pearl Drake +3, and Golden Braid for the upmost holy resistance i can think of getting in this game that doesn't include other items like the Pickled Liver. hope you find this helpful and if you find something that can add to this let me know :)
Also, don't sleep on Lord's Divine Fortification!
Brother, your main game complete walkthrough was so good, very thorough. This seems half-assed. I get it's been a while since the main game came out but you were the reason I was able to enjoy it to the extent that I did. A complete walkthrough of the dlc in a sequential video would be great. This is good but seems ..... again a little half-assed. I'm trying to follow but it's like jump here jump there, you should already have discovered most of the map kind thing.... makes it hard for me to follow given my unquestioned following of your main game complete videos. Much love for doing your videos and for marshmallow, but this is a bit confusing for my old ass trying to get the most out of the game. Was hoping for a "hold my hand" guide to the dlc too.
he has shorter guides on it that are more detailed in a 4 part series I believe
Absolute Legend, I have this guys videos up every playthrough
Hornsent isn't at 3path after killing boss. No clue what happened because I didn't go out of order =(
Man I missed a lot in this DLc with quests. Thank God I’m still on NG+0. Appreciate the video man.
At around level 175 I was able to start ng+ on my main and speed ran through to the last boss so I could get the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending and get my platinum!
Took me just under 3 hours to get 2 great runes (Stormveil Castle big boss + Rennala) and get the medallion halves to take the lift!
Don't sweat going back in ng+ when you're between level 150-200 it'll feel easier than the base game did lol
@@davethescrub858 it does not feel easier in dlc bro... i start dlc at 713 level with NG+9... that was like a hell
I just wanted to say I did Thiollier’s Q backwards on my first playthrough as it was a completely blind experience. I killed Mesmer then went and found St. Trina while exploring. Then later I found Thiollier and just told him I found St. Trina in some cave by the coast and he was off to the cave. After that the steps repeat. You tell him the words, he invades you and that’s it.
Very good video the best guide out there.
Also side note, for the Romina quest you are not required to summon dry leaf dane
if you do not summon hornsent for messmer, he will not invade you. you will get his equipment at the end of the game at the last fight
Absolute god tier info and work. Great job bud. Keep it up. Thank you for the hard work and help
Hey man, you don’t have to do igons quest line so early, it was one of the last things I did in my first playthrough and I was able to receive all of the rewards for one of the choices. I just mention this because bayle was top 3 in difficulty for me so I waited until late in the playthrough to take him down. And I don’t think I’m alone in feeling this was. Anyway, just a small piece of input. Really appreciate all of the effort you put in for us. These guides are killer and I wouldn’t have gotten 80% of what I have without them.
I was wondering why Bayle felt like the last boss a scadutree 3. Got it done though.
Also did the walkthrough for the base game at NG+6 it was a fun time easier then remembered
I did one of the questlines after having to look it up. I understand about adventure and all of that but I had I not looked it up. I wouldn’t know where or what to do and I will likely do it again with this guide
Soothing voice man, thank you, ima start play through 2 for the quests :)
Oh man i'm missing so much cool weapon and spirit, so this is what i get for not trying to look up at any guide
Thank you shatter, you work really hard and your videos are so well made, you deserve much much more support and we all appreciate what you’ve done you us. Thank you shatter.
The very first thing I did was attacking the friendly npcs u said not to attack in the beginning of your guide 🤣🤣🤣 at least I got moore armour set
I played through blind once, missed a heap and broke the great rune too early. Luckily, I have several playthroughs where I finished the main game without going on the Journey 2 so I have just restarted using one of those. I thought I did OK the first time but after watching this, I realise that I missed a bloody lot. Oh well, a noob I am.
I sided with Leda on the first fight and then with Ansbach on the second but still got his bow. Sweet.
Love this guy. Helped me out many times, and his voice cool af!
Didn't you leave out the third option regarding the fight between Leda and Hornsent? I am talking about doing nothing and moving on to kill the boss there in Shadow Castle. That is what I accidentally did since I didn't notice the signs on my first playthrough. It at least gives Leda a new dialogue but I am not sure about what it does to the rewards.
if u want both bayles abilities in one playthru u have to find one of those walking 4 legged stone tombs and duplicate bayles remembrance.
Love these guides, as always a placer to watch your videos, thank you!
huge thank you man, followed this first to end. huge satisfaction gained thanks to you
this one is gonna come un clutch for my new game plus, thank you
Thank you so much for this guide. I missed out on so much stuff and had to go into a new game and do everything correctly lol.
If you like me and you went to the shadowkeep by accident just exploring here's a tip Moore's questline a lot of people are missing the cookbooks if you haven't told him to remain sad forever or the other option then you can still get all the forager cookbooks and the black liquid when you're in the queue and it's asking you to tell him to remain sad forever or the other option tell him you don't know this will basically be like I can't really make a decision go and collect all of the forager cookbooks and talk to that guy then go back and tell him to remain sad forever or the top option and continue to speak with him until he gives you the syrup as well as the 7th forger cookbook.
Sir I wish you had said around 5:23 that if you choose to give her the concoction that you can’t get the defensive blessing from her anymore.
Hornsent grandam will give you an incantation under certain circumstances. That's the only thing I saw missed.
Thanks man. Missed most of this on my first play through and your guide was helpful
You're the only quest channel i trust
this is an amazing guide seriously ty
Thank you for this, just what i was looking for as i started playing today ! Clear instructions, pictures and good vocie for instructing!
bro that's evil, adding your cat at the end
Im a bit confused are these all the quests that CAN be done before messmer or MUST be done before messmer ? beating that big ass dragon right off rip is fucking wild lmao .awesome guide thanks for all the work !
the bayle / dragon priestess and igon quest can be done at any time, so long as you have the Thiollier's concoction then both endings will be available. In my more comprehensive guide for going through the DLC for the first time I hold off on the igon questline for a while to get stronger.
@@ItsShatter cool makes sense i held off too but the thought of them making him the 2nd boss or you miss content gave me a good laugh haha ty for the guide homie
Wow i missed literally all of this just exploring on my own. 😂 from killing Moore after he invaded me simply for killing that nasty bug creature to finding st trina and killing thollier. Lmao. Guess I'll follow this guide on ng+. 😂
You can get the item from Thioller after you break the rune. If he’s still there and you have the syrup he will give you the item. If he’s gone from that spot your SOL tho
Omg thank you just saved my run , Im trynna do a full questline dlc play through and some youtubers are posting misinformation
Glad I could help
@@ItsShatter im hearing that if you cross the bridge to the church of Ymir it will progress some questlines as well
I have been waiting for this 😍
Bro I followed all parts of your guide for the dlc. Was so incredibly helpful for my 2nd playthrough
Thank you very much bro. Helped a lot

Those quests completion conditions are insanely convoluted and borderline up to luck. I managed to get most of them on my own but it felt like i was throwing sht at the wall and seeing what sticks. Warming a bug with a healing stone to get a cookbook?!!! 😂
8:25 it’s my first time seeing her and she has no dialogue for me except for “A-ah” and nothing more. I followed every step so far and all I’ve done differently is kill divine lion. I’m also on new game plus and I couldn’t do her quest the first time.
Glad I'm not the only one. I still can't get her to talk. I also killed the lion thing first I think so maybe we can only talk to them before the boss? I hope not...
Sorry I just found something! Put on the mask of the Devine beast. It allowed me to get the dialogue
Yeah you just skipped a step, just pick up the quest from there as normal, wear the divine beast helmet, talk to her, give scorpion stew to consent and keep going from there
Hornsent** fkin auto correct
The fact that I'm watching all of this as I've only interacted a bit with them prior the rune shattering (by this I mean I only talked to them and didnt do all the fancy stuff like informing the crosses and that) and haven't met them since (besides Ansbach in Shadow keep) terrifies me that I already messed up the quests
Although I've learned that even skipping a few steps can still finish the quest normally i'm scared
Thanks a lot bro, I fucked up moored quest and the Hornedsent a bit but everything else was good
Thanks for the guide, overall works perfectly just need to kill radahn in 300 tries
Stuck on the Hornsent and Leda fight right now. Leda is at the grace saying she is gonna kill hornsent, Hornsent is MIA and their summon signs wont show up in Shadow Keep. Im not sure if i bugged it or failed the quests or what
Someone said in the comments that entering Messmer's room locks all signs for Leda's questline
I have a question please and I need to be answered how far can I play elden ring before I go to the downloadable content what happens if I finish the last boss will I lose my downloadable content and have to start over please answer this question
Do you mean the last boss of the game or the DLC? you can start playing the DLC as soon as you beat Mohg. I actually beat elden beast then beat mohg and then went to the DLC so you're good either way
