I love watching these videos after going through an area to clean it up or make sure i didn’t miss anything cool! Hope you keep these up for every area :) only feedback is keeping the map up for a few seconds so we can pause it when you’re showing where you’re at or marking points of interest
I feel like the series has changed from 'Things You Missed' to just straight quick walkthroughs of the areas.
It did really help with Leydell though cause I would've missed a lot (Not the sewers just loot)
I missed most if not all of the things going on in volcano manor so, I personally appreciate the walkthrough lol
@@monty609 me too! I killed the main boss and didn't realise that whole area was there past the secret wall. Will have to go back and finish this area before finishing the game.
First time viewer amd exactly what j was thinking I was shocked at the 17 minute length of what I missed cause I'm looking for a specific item but then realized it's a walkthrough
Hey!! I hope you're doing well today
Now that the carnage of a wedding is out of the way, and we've got a regular upload schedule, I'm going to start streaming over on Twitch again!!!
If you fancy joining a live stream once in a while, please consider dropping a follow over on www.twitch.tv/DomtasticGaming so you know when we're live!
This video is ~1 hour old, but this comment was posted/pinned 9 days ago. _WHAT IS THIS MANNER OF WITCHCRAFT?!?!_
Interesting note about the serpentbone blade: it actually does deadly poison, which does twice as much damage but lasts a third of the length of time. This sounds useless, but with it’s unique weapon art it can not only apply the poison very quickly (and trigger mushroom crown/kindred of rot’s exultation -which last 30 seconds) but will instantly activate the buff from Millicent’s prosthesis or rotted winged sword insignia. In short, it’s a great, often overlooked weapon.
powerstance with a poison uchigatana and get even more poison buildup. it is a cool weapon but i think there are better options and poison just doesnt seem that good compared to bleed, frostbite, and even scarlet rot.
Golden rune 10 up the ladder after you fight the Omenkiller indoors, right where you grab the albinauric mask and staff. Love these videos man. As a first time From Software player, you are a tremendous asset!!!
One thing a lot of people don't realize is that most enemies in Elden Ring are effectively blind but have super hearing, they detect you from the sounds you make. Some enemies detect on sight, like bow users, most mages and every banished knight is both sight and sound based but the majority of field enemies are sound based. Their actions make more sense when you realize this, the AI seems dumb when an enemy walks over to where you just where just killed their buddy but don't chase you when you're in plain sight, yet this is because you didn't make any sounds after the killing. And every little thing you do makes sounds, footsteps, rolls, jumps, swing a weapon etc. So that crepisus' vial is more valuable than many think, it's more like an invisibility cloak, it's damn good when using a bow yourself.
Do note that this isn't based on enemy type, for example the ancestral warriors are sound based but when they start off armed with a bow they are sight based and most Omen are sound based but those that are "on guard" (like guarding a ladder or physic flask upgrades) are both sight and sound based.
"The AI seems dumb when an enemy walks over to where you just where just killed their buddy"
........WHAT??????
Fucking WHAT???
Hi Dom and everyone!))
Congrats with the wedding;)
There are two bits by this area that I wanted to point out)
1) Near the wurm (or just from above him) there is a jump down that leads to the area with a some kind of dungeon I think, particularly fun experience worth of noticing)) (you can also access this area if in Liurnia you follow the Patches advice and let the ironmaiden-thing under the huge water wheel in Lucaria kill you by grabbing attack)
Damn some quests here are a bunch of nonsense 😅😅😅
2) do not remember if there is something of interest but when you get to the bottom of the church with the albinorics on the balcony with a serpant you can hop down for some loot.
Guess thats all that I've remembered😅
Btw thanks for all the content for the lick-every-stone-guys like me)))
Use sleep on any of the godskin bosses. It works wonders and immediately. The big ones will basically sleep til you hit them and it takes them a sec to get up so you can wail on em. I only used two sleep pots and was able to take this godskin noble out like he was a goat in limgrave lol
Dom, I winced a bit when you were rolling through the lava trying to speed yourself up. Either equip a weapons with the Quick Step ash of war, or turn your back to the way you want to go and [Space Bar] backstep toward it. Cheers!
The Bloodhound's Claws that you get on the way to the main area have the Bloodhound's step, which is even better for lava traversal and isn't too heavy
I hope you see this. In the ansel river you missed the chest above the main “dragon fly boss’ . It’s the curved sword wing I forget what it’s called.If you start at ansel river main site of grace, head down towards those ants. Kill the ant with the big head, head down that tunnel behind it, jump off the ledge to the right and work your way up the path, there are some somber smithing stones I think. And then there is a chest above where that boss was.
that section of ainsel river is part of nokstella the eternal city which cannot be reached from the ainsel river well that you used to get to the ant cave
It is called the Wing of Anstel, it was explained in ainsel main walkthrough. You have to stay to the right from the main waterfall site of grace. And climb down the ledge all the way and then hop onto the ruins and it's in a chest if I recall correctly. Right near that there is a somber smithing stone 6 if you go to the end of the ledge path and climb back up a higher ledge path. You will pass the item on the way down to the wing of ainsel but have to come around to get it
I have platinum'd the PS5 version of the game, finished the game multiple times on the PC, including the DLC, and still I am finding stuff thanks to your 'things you missed series'! Thanks Dom!!
There is actually an additional cave to explore, I think you "missed" it and will likely not show it in the next video. Around 10:20 there is that corpse on the edge of the platform. You can jump down there and get access to another cave. I got there early, when one of the "iron maiden" things grabbed me in "Rhyia Lucaria".
Are you using air quotes? Are you implying that those aren't what those things are called? ;)
Thanks again, Dom. I just started working my way through this area last night, so very helpful.
Congrats on your wedding, and I hope you have a great honeymoon planned to enjoy.
Cheers!
Wow. I knew I missed a lot here, but daaaamn! I really missed a lot!
I finished the assassinations in no time and then killed Rykard. Never saw Rya as lizard. Never got the silly Candlestick Whip. I'll finally be starting NG+ soonish though after my current 270+ hours. Just have a few spells to gather up for when I respec before starting over. I'm level 235 and don't really have any need to bugger with leveling more.
Thanks again for this series! I'll be using it next run,
I hit right around 270 hours, I'm at the final boss. I thought of finding every weapon before I finish the game. Maybe I'll save it for ng
@@Jim26D I've got _most_ of the games items, but for whatever reason I didn't spend as long in this area. I thought it was just really short because I met Tanith, did her contracts, then met and beat Rykard, then saw Patches on the way out. I just started NG+ today though because I wasn't able to do some questlines and wanted to go for another ending. I got Rannis.
@@iyeetpaste3797 Yeah, I'm sure there are lots of things that I either missed or locked myself out of, because dumb. I know FOR SURE one of those things is the Jar Bairn quest. I just HAVE to experience that first hand.
Keep doing what your doing! Your videos are so fun to watch and are so informing! I always look forward to the next one! :)
Dom, you are heading towards 100k subscribers. Your videos are great because: 1. You're fun to listen to 2. The videos are sped up while telling us the essential things we need to do, so no time is wasted. 3. We love your tone and accent 4. We just love you.
Keep up the good work! Greetings from Switzerland!
The music in Volcano Manor gives me the creeps! Reminds me of Dracula.
Great series my dude, thank u for your help
Can't believe I completely missed the albanaric staff and mask! I saw so many people with it but assumed I just hadn't gotten to the spot it was in yet. Turns out I missed it long ago!
It's good to see he realizes the gelmir knight armor set is one of the coolest in game. Just look how good it looks.
Love these videos. Maybe this will be in your part 2 video but at the 10:25 mark in this video where the item is you can walk off the edge to a path below that will lead to another mini boss area. Didn't find this until my second play through.
Yea, easy to overlook this one.
The other way you get there (read: teleport) is to allow yourself to be killed by the grab attack of the Abductor Virgin that is in the lowest part of Lucaria Academy.
Not gonna lie, part of the reason I always keep a bow and fire arrows handy are the exploding jars. With one hit, you can trigger their explosions from a safe distance and get some free AOE damage when they go off.
Definitely missed a few items - thanks for much for the guides
For the godskin I recommend the flame of the red manes ash of war found in calid. It breaks the stance of most bosses in two or three uses so it breaks the stance of the boss quick leaving an opportunity to get the critical hit.
Man I been watching your vids since you started this serious . I think you do good work and listen to your viewers that is very awesome . I remember when we recommended npc questlines and you have added that thank you bro your work is appreciated 🙏 👍
If you are a mage or have ranged attacks you can mega cheese the magma worm by aggroing him and running back to the lift, if you are quick enough you can take the lift up and you can cheese him from above
That’s exactly what I did. He felt way different in aggression to me than the others I had fought. Though I’d fight him any day over the fatty boss in this area.
Love your videos. So fun to watch.
Just a quick question. Would you come to Volcano Manor before areas like Nokron or are you not covering those as they are technically 'side quest' areas?
Grats on the wedding BTW.
Bro, more than your actually thourogh walk through's, I really enjoy your flair and commentary. Cheers!
I completely missed that whole upper lift area, with the boss. Thanks for the vid mate 👍
You can cheese the magma worm: just activate it then take elevator back and go up. The magma worm will be right down the platform where the elevator stops, so u can use arrows or cast spells to kill it without actually fight
A tip that’s been shared with me: use back step to get through lava quickly if you’re not a dagger person.
Score! Just "finished" this area yesterday. Perfect timing! Thank you and keep up the awesome work!
You are by far my favorite elden ring UA-camr. Thanks.
living jar are easily dispatched with flaming arrows. hit one of the 3 front small living jars and watch the chain reaction explosions. You might be able to lure the large jar over before chain reacting the jars to collateral damage the big guy
Your vids are bangers man, and your voice over is god tier. Keep doing what you’re doing.
I like how whenever you die to something, your like: Aight let's wreck his face
for that magma wyrm at the bottom of the area; run back to the lifts and kite him there. go up and attack from above with pots or bow etc and he cant touch you. you might need to repeat the kite a couple of time though
With the Magma Worm, you can cheese it. Just go back up the lift & stand on the edge. Use magic or any ranged weapon you choose. Super easy
13:25 This is EXACTLY why these videos are invaluable.. My gut is filled with those "I wanna go home" butterflies now lol I'm so motivated to play, thanks Dom🙏
Throw some Pepsi or RedBull in the freezer, walk my tiny dog, & then get into my light armor & climb back up Mt Gelmir🤓
Where you thought your summons hit you, there’s a glitched ad under the street. I noticed this when I went through. I came to VM via the maiden in lucaria.
I messed up the assassination requests because I killed Rykard too soon.... guess it's going to be NG+ now
Just found out you can get that fire monks hood as a headpiece on a random drop. Wonder if they're is a full set or just the hood.
as always, great video, love how you are keeping the funny bits in, makes it so entertaining
It’s probably worth noting that you can do the volcano maner invasions quests without any negative consequences so it’s more than worth doing the all unless you feel it’s the wrong thing to do for your character.
Yes! I beat the boss here with 2 invasions to go. After you do the invasions your reward is on the table where you get the letters!
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening love your videos it's very helpful to play a unguided game.
I honestly subscribed purely because i found you to be so pleasant. It felt sincere when you wished us viewers well…. So yes hope you get that UA-cam recognition.
If I had friends who play elden ring I would recommend them to visit your channel but I dont, but either way love your content!
I screwed up Rya's quest line by going straight to Rykard after the invasions. I left the manor half way through and came back after killing the guy in Mountaintops not realizing she sends you right to Rykard and after you kill him everyone leaves. Bummer.
Cheers for that can’t be forgetting the albinauric mask
My favorite intro of all times.. good morning. etc
12:29, you can also drop down there from the roof above
I know this is an old video and people may already know, but i just did a test and it doesnt matter what your equipment load is, you jump the same distance no matter what your weight status is.
Love your content for this game. The only two pieces of advice I would give you is to leave the map up for another 3-5 seconds when you show it. Sometimes it's good, other times, it's just way too fast.
The other one is more of a suggestion than advice. You should make shortened versions for people like myself who are only looking for the stuff that is hard to find/easy to miss. Not everyone is going to sit through the whole video or even watch at all when they have to watch 90%+ of stuff they already found or will find easy. You'd pull viewers in who are at a higher skill level as well as the beginner/casual players if you had shorted versions aimed at the more experienced players that search everything thoroughly themselves, and are just looking for the few things they may have missed after they thoroughly went through it themselves.
You wouldn't even have to make any more videos to do so. You could easily use the footage you have already and just pick out the tips that are hard to find to someone that already goes through everything thoroughly. I know I'm not alone when it comes to going through the game thoroughly, but still missing some things here and there because it's the nature of the game not to find everything your first run through.
Other than that, I love the content. Great work, very informative. The only time I watch other people's videos for this game is when I'm specifically looking for one thing I know I missed. I'm not going to sit through 10-20 minutes if video for something that I just need a quick location on. For the most part I'll watch your things you missed on an area just to be sure I got everything after I've moved on from the area. Once in awhile I have to look elsewhere just because it's one specific thing I'm looking for.
That volcano manor boss fight kiled em easily with my bleed katana and swarm of flies with added poison mist. Boom easy fight
Thanks for the video, this time the speed is a bit too high. I got dizzy looking at it. 😅
What about the other rooftops or rampart area above where you killed the Omenkiller? IDK if it’s accessible.
We skimmed over it briefly in this video but there was not a huge deal worth noting, only a scarab, a few smithing stones etc but nothing major 😊
@@DomsRoundtable I wonder if we are thinking the same place. There are items on the walls/buildings even higher up from that building's rooftop. I will check in the game shortly...
You really need to redo this video to warn people that moving on in the invasions without handling side quests locks you out of certain cool items. For example, gotta do Patches side quest between the first and second or else no bull goat for you. Didn’t get bull goat til my third play through because I didn’t know this.
Happened to me.. the serpent instantly changed to the lady and asks if smtn happened in the room next door
What I did with the magma wyrm was run back to the elevator, ride it up, then sniped him from up top. Easy-peasy.
Hey dom
Are you gonna do a things we missed in the dlc?
Asking for myself
Thanks for the two new spots that I hadn't found yet
Very helpful man, thanks!
Congrats on the wedding mate. U definitely punching 🤣 loving these vids. U always show me something I've missed. Keep it up 👍
when you killed the omenkiller with summoned pumpkin head. you thought pumpkin head hit you. no he was trying to hit the Noble that is stuck/glitched into the floor. you usually can see the top of his head literally 10ft north of the omenkiller beside another Noble that is just waking up. Not sure if buried Noble is in a dungeon beneath the town.
Been looking forward to this one :)
Im facing malenia at and It was the last thing I was going to do before radagon. Now I realize I havent even know volcano manor was so masive. Wow
Holy crap; I basically missed ALL of Volcano manor!
I figured you could only get there when you finished the quests.
If I agree to Lady Tanith's request and take the key, will this can any NPC quests??
Hey, I was wondering how you get up to that dection of the map after opening the lava bridge. Running across it back to the Prison Town Church grace, you can see a corpse lying precariously over the ledge above you with loot to take but I have no idea how to get up there!
There is also an iron maiden enemy up there as well but could never find the pathway leading to that part :(
“Good morning good after noon and good evening, where ever you are and whatever you’re doing i hope you’re having a wonderful day”
me on the toilet having a great morning and day
12:40 instead of trying that risky jump, it's safer to just drop down from the roof above. Also in 8:07, in the ledge of the other building there's an item that I wasn't able to reach, and you did not cover in this, video. Have you covered it in another one ?
If you haven't figured it out yet there's a ladder in the room the omen killers in that goes up to the rooftop
Great video as always :). And congrats on the wedding again
Is the npc kneeling in the corridor the same voice actor as Eygon Of Carim's?
5$ to the first brit to properly pronounce lava🤣🤣🤣. Love the vids dom keep killin it.
For the Magma wyrm, he can get stuck on the rubble near the lifts
Awesome vid Dom!
Thanks! Just for the thinking your pumpkin head hit ya :)
Thank you so much for your Super Thanks! ❤️I really appreciate your support and I hope you're enjoying the content! 🤩
Just completed volcano manor big boss for first time now realizing I locked a lot of great loot 🤣
Been waiting for this
Congrats and happy wedding!
And great content as always!
Actually I think you CAN still complete the Volcano Manor requests even if you defeat the boss of the area. I killed the boss long before getting to the Mountain of the Giants but the invader spot was still there and I was able to defeat them and upon returning to the manor there was a prize left on the table.
I think you just have to at least accept those requests before killing the boss. I killed the boss before completing the first request and now everyone has left and I can't accept any more.
So that entire huge section is accessed through a hidden wall? Are there any in game hints that guide you to that wall or are the developers just assuming everyone will look online? In which case why make it hidden?
I hope you get verified soon man!! you deserve it
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your Super Thanks 🤩 I really appreciate your support! ❤️
I spent 15 minutes on that hidden door that dosnt exist anymore I laughed my butt.off when I read it was patched hahaha
God damn it I already beat raylard... at least the boss fight was exiting
should of made a disclaimer that before doing volcano manor go to the site of the first invasion and do the invasion there so u can get the talisman bc if u go to volcano manor before doing this it will lock u out of that invasion
@@undefinedvariable8085 I remember there was a guy with a hammer invading near the colosseum.
Recusant Henricus can be easy to miss because if you beat all major bosses in the area, for some reason the invasion doesn’t happen anymore. I think he is bugged and will not invade if you beat Margit.
I never opened the other doors at the start until I’d literally completed the manor, so I could only do the very first assassination. Also never met the friendly serpent. Silly me…
What happened to the refreshed workshop guide you wanted to release „in a few days“? It’s 3 months already :(
I did the first two invasions but when i went back Bernal didn’t have a letter for me neither was the snake there..🤔
I did such a terrible job keeping track of questlines my first play through and have locked myself out of so many things because of it
I killed patches, he doesn't come back from doing church of vows, can i so get the quest to kill that dude he had.. the one where you had to go back to him to get the reward....
Is Inquisitor Ghiza Spanish? Because I did not expect him
What chest piece are you wearing?
Congrats man
POV: you killed the snake super early and messed up your quest line
Subbed! Keep up the great content
The npc at the end of the hall in the beginning isn't there. Any insight? 🤔
Did patches trick you into doing his assassination?
With the lava boss, get him to attack then take the lift back up and use ranged attacks, he can’t get you with his own.
Cheeselord!
that's no fun
just summon a + 10 mimic to do it for you
