@@Unclear_nz If you mean you can't interact with the cocoon, try resting at the grace that spawns in Mohg's arena, then if that doesn't work try reloading the game.
I really like your chill tone, some of us can't deal with the over enthusiastic youtuber vibe anymore (no hate here, to each their own ) so it's good to also have people like you who provide useful guides !
I tried it just now and it works! thanks! Also did Yura's questline for Purifying Crystal Tear (just in case), and 5:08 the bridge in front of Lenne's Rise you can cheese the Night's Cavalry (making him jump) for 42,000 runes. Mohgwyn palace has 2 Golden Seeds, one disappears if you grab the other and then die or reload the area, one is behind the Sanguine Noble, in a corpse, the other in a tree in the middle of the lake, you can get both if you don't die / don't rest in grace
I tried this guide when it was still text only, I suffered from skill issue and time wise it took me longer because deaths and getting lost, but the entire guide works perfectly. The Mohg strat blew my mind. My early backhand blade thanks you, keep up the incredible work Tarnished!
If you’re struggling with the bloodhound, you can always go into the mistwood ruins until you hear howling, then warp to kale and speak to him, and then use the emote back at the mistwood. Doing this unlocks an NPC summon for that fight(and also gives you a somber smithing stone as well I believe)
Yeah if you’re struggling with Dari, this is probably not the best method for you to get to the DLC because you will likely struggle being at a pretty low level in mid/late game areas. Incredible guide but mostly geared for people who have a decent amount of experience with the game already.
Great vid! I followed your guide for 2 characters, I timed myself doing this before the DLC and I got to like 8-9h in while trying to get a fair fight against mohg. This is a little more efficient 😅
I've done similar routes for the early game a lot, all homebrewed, but I almost always just grab the whetstone in gatefront ruins, kill the blood knight in fort haight, then just use that ash to bleed the big dragon. I've never tried the crafting route, but given the usefulness of grease for later parts of the run, it's definitely more efficient for specifically this route. I think a more "try to get into the dlc in under 4 hours and get more tears/seeds/bells/levels without farming" route is gonna feel more natural for most people.
I go out of my way to pick up the spiked caestus from the merchant in dragonbarrow then use that plus the blood grease to kill the big dragon. I’ve found the spiked caestus the best weapon available, as it’s dual wielded and uses less stamina than an uchigatana or bloodhound fang.
i always grab the mourning star in weeping peninsula then kill the scarab in front of the margit grace for wild strikes. You can still apply bleed with it when you use it without any FP. Wild strikes also trivialises any NPC fights like the roundtable invader as they just end up stunlocked and get bled out.
if you somehow struggling with dariwil you can opt to summon blaidd for help, blaidd actually strong enough to solo the fight or died leaving dariwil only sliver of health left oh also the freaking lobster on sewer you can sleep them with just 1 pot if you are annoyed with them
This is one of the few (IIRC the only) Elden Ring videos I've seen which usefully and precisely describe any combat strategy for Radahn and Mohg. Great work, subscribed!
I found your Mohg strategy yesterday while I was trying to get into the DLC with an underleveled character. Thank you so much, because once I got the timing down, it worked perfectly. And this vid is great fun to watch too, definitely subscribing
Was able to do the Mohg strat even though my attack power was around 696. Awesome strat and great video! Just what I needed to get a new character (wretch) into the DLC quickly. I appreciate the work you put in 🙏🏽
Insanely good video, and the written instructions make you legendary. I always start new characters in the other Souls games but I thought that would be too daunting in Elden Ring, but this video is both the most concise and most informative for getting new characters off the ground. Thanks.
Your Mohg strat looks fantastic and reminded me of something similar I used to do in DS3 with Pontiff Sulyvahn. It takes a good eye and observation to plan out a tactic like this.
Thank you so much. I’ve been having trouble getting friends to play consistently and been switching between a seamless coop account and my normal steam this made my life so much easier. Clocking in at 3 hours and 33 minutes with 12 mohg stunlock attempts and many, many, many, deaths but we made it! Dont ask me how many times I watched this video.
Amazing method. Tried it today and it's not only reliable, it's really satisfying to pull off! I'm currently on a challenge where I try to beat the game with every weapon, in alphabetical order, starting with a fresh character each run. I can see myself using this to get to the DLC weapons 99% of the time 😅
Great guide especially the Mohg strat! After the radahn fight you can also kill Alexander then to get the 10 percent version of the shard of Alexander if you feel you need more damage for the tree sentinel. Also if you are struggling surviving, I recommend killing the avatar you passed earlier otw to Fort Faroth for a quick 100k extra runes to pump into vigor and the opaline hardtear which is pretty clutch for additional damage resistance.
Things to keep in mind doing this: -Affected quests and missed items doing the shortcuts (for example Roderika's quest + Crimson Hood + Spirit Jellyfish Ashes, the spirit ashes also is used later in the game for another quest/rewards) or missing the Yura's quest rewards, etc. -Killing Irina will completely mess up the quests with Hyetta, and thus missing the best ending of Elden Ring (lord of chaos) *IMO of course, obviously you will miss the items related to the quest too, like the Frenzied Flame Seal, if you wanted to make a build about frenzied incantations or get the lord of chaos ending then I would suggest going to the Chapel of Anticipation using the teleport in The Four Belfries OR going to the Church of Inhibition near the Frenzied Flame Village. Obviously skipping/doing shortcuts will make you miss some stuff, if you are fine with it , then yes, this is an excellent guide :)
When i saw the video was half an hour long, i though "yeah, im gonna skip ahead". But the nice music, and your chill voice really just made me lean back in my chair and watched the whole thing.
Wow thanks, it means a lot that you watched the whole thing! I enjoy selecting and synchronizing music that fits the atmosphere, glad you liked it too.
This is maybe the best guide video I’ve ever seen. Showing points and paths on the map, then showing yourself taking those paths while explaining everything along the way. Your voice is great. Absolutely terrific.
One of the best guides I’ve seen. Agree with all the comments about not using it on your first playthrough but honestly anyone trying to rush a first playthrough to get to the dlc is in for a very rude awakening lol
This is a great guide to not only show players how to get into the DLC easily, but how to get a strong character early if they want to as well. The only change I would go with would be going to the Church of Inhibition for the Lord of Blood's favor since you get a Sacred Tear as well. Players can just run past Vyke, light the grace and die next to it if he's too much of a challenge as well. It would add a few extra minutes, but I would say well worth the time since players will likely want to go there anyways for the Sacred Tear.
Liked and subscribed. This right here, is high quality content. Quick and precise and really does a good job to guide you to where you need to go. Would be nice to have another one with other starting classes that min-max to certain builds. Kinda redundant since it'll just be a difference of a few points of stats here and there but it'd help us non-samurai a ton.
Thanks for the encouragement! And that's a good point, not everyone wants to start with the samurai. I'll try to at least add how to adjust for other starting classes in the text document.
Thanks so much, hope you find it helpful! I also just made a follow-up video on getting this character stronger to compensate for starting the DLC at a lower level.
After all these "SL1 DLC" videos I've been looking for a streamlined guide to get there from NG the fastest. Did my first run through on NG+ and I wanted to see the difficulty difference of NG but didn't have a second character for that. Been having fun replaying but just wanted to get there fast, this video is gold.
This is the best guide. Literally killed almost all bosses first try didnt know the bloodhound sword is this strong. Ty now i can go get the dlc weapons and explore the others.
This is a good video not only because its for the DLC but it also is super beneficial for just starting a new playthrough in the most efficient way at least from I've seen so far 👍👍👍
@@SoulObsessionGames @SoulObsessionGames Do you think you could also make a full guide on how to get all the smithing stones bell bearings in a similarily efficient manner? I think this can be helpful since there are so many DLC weapons that people want to upgrade for a new playthrough but its just such a drag having to remember where they all are over again. I think your format like with this video is really thorough and enjoyable that I think it would be super cool if you did that for something else as well!
Awesome guide! I used it to get to the DLC with the Vagabond class without levelling up. Wanted to make a Rellana build from scratch. I just upgraded the Bloodhound’s Fang to +9 to not spend a Somber Ancient Dragon Stone, but it worked wonders with some adjustments and the Blue Dancer Charm. Thanks a lot!
Note on getting Radagon's Soreseal; if you happen to have any runes and don't feel like giving them up, you can just quit out after you pick up the item. When you load back in, all the enemies will have forgotten about you, and you can just warp out using the map.
This is an amazing guide and the Mogh strat is something I just learned thanks to the video. A quick tip for everyone is that: when you're killing Greyoll near Fort Farroth, when he's at very low health, jump on the horse, use the gold pickled foot and melee on horse for the bleed proc. You then sprint to the grace, you get the runes from the dragons plus they respawn if you're fast enough. With the timer on the pickled foot, you can maybe do it once or twice again depending on how fast you proc bleed. This will make the entire run easier. Unless the extra levels somehow affect Mogh's strategy, but you could just level up other stats and respec for the DLC with Rennala.
Thanks for watching and the suggestion! The str and dex levels do affect the Mohg strategy, but you could always lose one or both of the physicks to compensate.
Hey there, I just wanted to leave a comment to tell you I really enjoyed your video. The sound of your voice, the calmness, the excellent choice of music, this is actually really relaxing to me lol. On top of that it’s a great guide. Great job.
Excellent guide and narration is clear and concise without any stupid jargon. Well done. One tip; When you drop down that spiritspring after the dragon, you should use it to jump up on that large rock to your right. It has multiple smithing stones on top.
If you're going to buy a torch, get the Beast Repellant torch. Super useful for bypassing areas with rats and dogs, you can get it at the shack merchant in Dragonbarrow a little ways up from the map fragment. I believe it's 4k runes, so don't spend all your runes from Greyoll.
I don't even need the guide part it's just pleasant to listen to, thank you for such a chill in-depth guide that I am positive has helped a great many people
As an Elden ring new player this guide also helps alot. I was so lost in Godrick fort for 2 whole days without realising i could just walk in front the front door!
Thanks! This guide isn't designed particularly for first-time players, but you should play the way you want, and if you find this guide helpful that's great! You might find my first video on my channel more relevant if you're playing the main game.
Hello, absolute excellent guide. Actually the best i‘ve ever seen. As a souls vet i know nearly every item in the game, but i wanted to check if my route is outdated. I‘m just telling this, to understand that in the first seconds i thought „oh man not another guide for absolute idiots and every tiny piece is show‘n“. But i was so wrong, yes it is so simple that even idiots can easy follow, but on the other hand if i hadn’t my knowledge and wanted a guide to show my every important step, explaining certain thing in as short as it needs to understand, showing every step before on map… If I would look for this guide than this is the G.O.A.T. guide. Really - exellent work. i tweaked my route and even learned something here and there plus pne really important knowledge. I didn’t knew that you have to wait for the circles to appear at Mohg. I was wondering so often why he isn’t staggering. Keep motivated Umbasa
Can’t believe I was the 100th view, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you so much!! Makes routing new characters so much easier, can’t wait 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If Fromsoft released a “weapon pack” that placed more weapons from the new classes throughout the base game, I would absolutely buy it. Probably the only company I WOULD buy something like that from.
I finally did it! I must have slow reflexes or maybe just the adrenaline kept getting to me and giving me brain fog, but it took like 50 plus tries to pull off the Mohg strat successfully, but I did it on RL1. The main thing was just the spacing, because the unique move set of the Bloodhound Fang keeps jumping you all over the place and all these moves have to be placed exactly at the right spot at the right time in order to work. Particularly I kept missing the crit because he would stagger but by the time I completed the automated jump back, then the follow-up jump forward, then the step forward to crit, he would already have recovered and started his Nihil sequence, and then it was over because he'd regain all his health and kill me. Anyway with enough practice it's doable.
Thanks for this excelent guide, I already finished the regular game 4 times and finished the DLC once, but missed some weapons and some quests. With your guide just killed Mohg and ready to start the DLC one more time. NG+5 here we go!
Love the narration and your choices of music! It’s raining outside as I watch this as well, for maximum relaxation effect. 😌 Thank you for putting so much work into being thorough and informative! I’m planning some new DLC characters, this will be really useful.
Quick side note you should start the radhan festival if you plan on getting Alexander quest done. If you do the marika stake skip he will be softlocked.
It didn't seem to softlock him for me. Alexander still appeared near the grace after killing Radahn. Maybe it's because we visit Altus plateau before doing the skip.
Just started new character, as I want to experience DLC as not-NG+ content and I really like your guide. Making some extra bits along the way, so I can come back to the story later 😅
If you’re having trouble getting the stagger, wait until mohg’s “duo” animation is completely done before using your AoW, I was doing it too early and screwing it up
The closest maiden for varre’s quest is actual the one in chapel of anticipation as the four belfries give you an imbued sword key at the top and dont require you to kill an npc
Thanks for watching! Irina is the fastest for this route, that's why world record speedrunners kill her. But if you don't want to kill NPCs or affect quests, then yes the chapel of anticipation is a good alternative, and doesn't take much longer.
Great vid especially if you’re coming back to the game after a bit . This play thru will help knock the rust off. I had to get the blue dancer and remove pants to get the right Mohg setup
This worked flawlessly thanks man! Quick note though for anyone planning on playing a bleed build, killing Mohg will lock you out of getting the White Mask so make sure to do that first.
Best guide I was on my level 81 main but saw this video and used larval tier and use same stats and killed mohg I did not kill him in 5 times so I used my mimic tier and finally kill mohg
Thanks! Not sure if Bloodflame blade will work with this Mohg strategy, since it's pretty specific. But you could use it for other bosses if you think you need it and don't mind boosting your arcane and faith.
You know, if you hop on Torrent and ride back to the grace and sit at it while Greyrol is in it's death animation, you can prevent it from fading away and still receive the runes you would normally get from killing it. Rinse and repeat enough times you can just use that to farm a ton of runes and gain a ton of levels. That's usually what I do.

@@SoulObsessionGames @SoulObsessionGames Do you think you could also make a full guide on how to get all the smithing stones bell bearings in a similarily efficient manner? I think this can be helpful since there are so many DLC weapons that people want to upgrade for a new playthrough but its just such a drag having to remember where they all are over again.
I think your format like with this video is really thorough and enjoyable that I think it would be super cool if you did that for something else as well!
@@pimpsterpidgeon4502Thanks for the suggestion! My next video is already planned out, but I may be able to include that in a future video!
Awesome guide! I used it to get to the DLC with the Vagabond class without levelling up. Wanted to make a Rellana build from scratch. I just upgraded the Bloodhound’s Fang to +9 to not spend a Somber Ancient Dragon Stone, but it worked wonders with some adjustments and the Blue Dancer Charm. Thanks a lot!
Nice, smart adjustments. Congrats on your victory!
Great video i love the mellow vibe. As someone who dosen't like youtubey tutorials this is exactly what I wish all of them where like.
That's encouraging to hear, thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful. I was stuck on Mohg for hours.
Yeah Mohg can be brutal. Glad it helped!
This is by far the greatest ER guide I have ever seen. Bookmarked for life.
Wow thanks!
Great guide, and a calm and relaxing delivery. Great vibes!
Glad you found it relaxing, thanks for the shout!
This video was surprisingly pleasant on the ears. Your manner of speech plus the music.
Thanks, that's nice to hear. And thank you so much for watching!
Following this took me 2h 35min to reach the DLC - thanks for your help!
Well done! 👊
It wouldn't be long until you have over 10k subscribers, I just knew it
I hope so, thanks for the encouragement!
Didn't even realize that 35 mins passed by. Informative, chill, and awesome video throughout. Thanks!
That's so encouraging to hear, thanks very much for watching!
Note on getting Radagon's Soreseal; if you happen to have any runes and don't feel like giving them up, you can just quit out after you pick up the item. When you load back in, all the enemies will have forgotten about you, and you can just warp out using the map.
This is an amazing guide and the Mogh strat is something I just learned thanks to the video. A quick tip for everyone is that: when you're killing Greyoll near Fort Farroth, when he's at very low health, jump on the horse, use the gold pickled foot and melee on horse for the bleed proc. You then sprint to the grace, you get the runes from the dragons plus they respawn if you're fast enough. With the timer on the pickled foot, you can maybe do it once or twice again depending on how fast you proc bleed. This will make the entire run easier. Unless the extra levels somehow affect Mogh's strategy, but you could just level up other stats and respec for the DLC with Rennala.
Thanks for watching and the suggestion! The str and dex levels do affect the Mohg strategy, but you could always lose one or both of the physicks to compensate.
Hey there, I just wanted to leave a comment to tell you I really enjoyed your video. The sound of your voice, the calmness, the excellent choice of music, this is actually really relaxing to me lol. On top of that it’s a great guide. Great job.
That means a lot to hear, thanks for taking the time to share!
this was amazing did everything exactly and finished it in 3hrs
Awesome glad to hear!
my guy i just wanna say I appreciate you doing this fr. Praying you have the bestest weekend 💯
Thanks, hope you have a great weekend too!
Excellent guide and narration is clear and concise without any stupid jargon. Well done.
One tip; When you drop down that spiritspring after the dragon, you should use it to jump up on that large rock to your right. It has multiple smithing stones on top.
Very well done! I like how you path your next steps on the map and then show actually footage..
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching.
If you're going to buy a torch, get the Beast Repellant torch. Super useful for bypassing areas with rats and dogs, you can get it at the shack merchant in Dragonbarrow a little ways up from the map fragment. I believe it's 4k runes, so don't spend all your runes from Greyoll.
IIRC, it’s only 1800 runes. Super useful item, once you use it you wonder how you ever got along without it before.
perfect guide, helped me beat him and will continue doing this for all my early dlc runs!
Awesome, glad it helped and thanks for the feedback!
My attack was at 760 alittle higher but still worked first try. Very nice strategy man thank you 🙏
Awesome glad you got it, thanks for sharing!
You are the man!!! Excellent video tutorial and the Mohg strategy executed to perfection, thx a lot.
Thanks so much, that means a lot!
I don't even need the guide part it's just pleasant to listen to, thank you for such a chill in-depth guide that I am positive has helped a great many people
Thanks, hope you find it relaxing!
As an Elden ring new player this guide also helps alot. I was so lost in Godrick fort for 2 whole days without realising i could just walk in front the front door!
Thanks! This guide isn't designed particularly for first-time players, but you should play the way you want, and if you find this guide helpful that's great! You might find my first video on my channel more relevant if you're playing the main game.
Going to use this guide to speed to DLC in NG+ after I finish the DLC run I'm no now. Thanks for the guide.
Awesome, enjoy NG+!
Hello,
absolute excellent guide. Actually the best i‘ve ever seen.
As a souls vet i know nearly every item in the game, but i wanted to check if my route is outdated.
I‘m just telling this, to understand that in the first seconds i thought „oh man not another guide for absolute idiots and every tiny piece is show‘n“.
But i was so wrong, yes it is so simple that even idiots can easy follow, but on the other hand if i hadn’t my knowledge and wanted a guide to show my every important step, explaining certain thing in as short as it needs to understand, showing every step before on map… If I would look for this guide than this is the G.O.A.T. guide.
Really - exellent work. i tweaked my route and even learned something here and there plus pne really important knowledge.
I didn’t knew that you have to wait for the circles to appear at Mohg. I was wondering so often why he isn’t staggering.
Keep motivated
Umbasa
Wow, that's really encouraging to hear, especially from a souls vet, thanks for the feedback! Enjoy your future runs!
Umbasa
17:39 it’s worth noting that if you kill the soldiers by the catapults they won’t shoot at you any more 😀
God bless you and your life saving guides the only runs I can do in under 20 hours
Glad you like them, thanks so much for the support!
Can’t believe I was the 100th view, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you so much!! Makes routing new characters so much easier, can’t wait 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks so much for the 100th view! Hope this helps for your new characters!
This is a great guide, and especially a great strat for scripting Mohg. I hope the golden algo looks favorably upon you tarnished
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
If Fromsoft released a “weapon pack” that placed more weapons from the new classes throughout the base game, I would absolutely buy it. Probably the only company I WOULD buy something like that from.
Excellent guide! The time and effort you put into it is clear to see.
Thanks for doing this!
Thanks for the shout!
Your choice of music was fantastic and you’re sounded so clear in everything you laid out. Subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed the music too! Thanks for the sub!
I finally did it! I must have slow reflexes or maybe just the adrenaline kept getting to me and giving me brain fog, but it took like 50 plus tries to pull off the Mohg strat successfully, but I did it on RL1. The main thing was just the spacing, because the unique move set of the Bloodhound Fang keeps jumping you all over the place and all these moves have to be placed exactly at the right spot at the right time in order to work. Particularly I kept missing the crit because he would stagger but by the time I completed the automated jump back, then the follow-up jump forward, then the step forward to crit, he would already have recovered and started his Nihil sequence, and then it was over because he'd regain all his health and kill me. Anyway with enough practice it's doable.
Glad you got it, your persistence paid off! Thanks for sharing!
This did work for me, minus taking a side quest to get the mimic tear for Mogh because I couldn't pull that part off without a summon.
Very detailed and thorough guide! Thank you very much! Will definitely give this a try🎉
Thanks, hope it's helpful!
Thanks for this excelent guide, I already finished the regular game 4 times and finished the DLC once, but missed some weapons and some quests. With your guide just killed Mohg and ready to start the DLC one more time. NG+5 here we go!
Awesome, good luck on your NG+5 run!
Love the narration and your choices of music! It’s raining outside as I watch this as well, for maximum relaxation effect. 😌
Thank you for putting so much work into being thorough and informative! I’m planning some new DLC characters, this will be really useful.
Thanks so much, glad you appreciate the music too! Your encouragement means a lot. Enjoy your future runs!
Quick side note you should start the radhan festival if you plan on getting Alexander quest done. If you do the marika stake skip he will be softlocked.
It didn't seem to softlock him for me. Alexander still appeared near the grace after killing Radahn. Maybe it's because we visit Altus plateau before doing the skip.
Thank you bro!! This is amazing
Thanks for the encouragement!
Just started new character, as I want to experience DLC as not-NG+ content and I really like your guide. Making some extra bits along the way, so I can come back to the story later 😅
Awesome, hope you find it helpful and thanks for watching!
thank you so much for this guide. if it wasn't for you I would've postponed a few more months! great editing and very soothing voice to listen to!
Thanks, that's encouraging to hear! Enjoy your time with Shadow of the Erdtree.
Amazing guide. I managed within 1 hour 50 and messed up a couple fights. It's incredibly fast😊
That's a really good time, especially if you haven't already practiced this route - well done!
If you’re having trouble getting the stagger, wait until mohg’s “duo” animation is completely done before using your AoW, I was doing it too early and screwing it up
Thanks good tip!
The closest maiden for varre’s quest is actual the one in chapel of anticipation as the four belfries give you an imbued sword key at the top and dont require you to kill an npc
Thanks for watching! Irina is the fastest for this route, that's why world record speedrunners kill her. But if you don't want to kill NPCs or affect quests, then yes the chapel of anticipation is a good alternative, and doesn't take much longer.
This is great even for veteran ER players. Appreciate it!
Thanks, I appreciate that you took the time to comment!
Much Appreciated, Soo useful to get the dlc early
I appreciate the comment!
Great vid especially if you’re coming back to the game after a bit . This play thru will help knock the rust off. I had to get the blue dancer and remove pants to get the right Mohg setup
Awesome, thanks for watching!
This worked flawlessly thanks man! Quick note though for anyone planning on playing a bleed build, killing Mohg will lock you out of getting the White Mask so make sure to do that first.
That's a good point thanks!
Thanks for this. Just got access to the dlc with my lvl 1 character because of this.
Awesome, thanks for sharing that! Enjoy your RL1 run!
That Mohg kill was greasy bro. Nicely done.
Thanks for watching!
Best guide I was on my level 81 main but saw this video and used larval tier and use same stats and killed mohg I did not kill him in 5 times so I used my mimic tier and finally kill mohg
This is like a bedtime ASMR. Insane quality
Thanks, glad you found it relaxing!
Strat worked great for Mogh at 761 Damage. Took about 10 tries to really get it down, worked really well. Thank you!
Glad to hear, thanks for letting me know!
Good video, you can get the blood flame incantation from a scarab behind the rose church which is useful rather than just blood grease.
Thanks! Not sure if Bloodflame blade will work with this Mohg strategy, since it's pretty specific. But you could use it for other bosses if you think you need it and don't mind boosting your arcane and faith.
You know, if you hop on Torrent and ride back to the grace and sit at it while Greyrol is in it's death animation, you can prevent it from fading away and still receive the runes you would normally get from killing it. Rinse and repeat enough times you can just use that to farm a ton of runes and gain a ton of levels. That's usually what I do.
Amazingly helpful video-thank you!
Thanks for watching!
