Something cool about the Godwyn face in Stormveil: There's a bloodstain near it that appears even when offline, and shows Rogier getting afflicted with Deathblight.
Margits Shackle doesn't summon a third chariot, it raises the Pillar that summons them to spawn a third. That mechanic is intended, using the shackle to do it (I believe) is not.
Shackle is an "attack" that deals 0 damage in a basically unlimited range. When it "hits" morgott it activates the script, but it can also affect the hitboxes of other objects.
I was about to say this xD Note: The pillar is accessible through normal means one doesn't don't *NEED* to use the shackle to hit it. It's just much safer
Another cool detail abt the elden beast sword. If you look at the part where there are two lines that come out of radagons body and they intertwine. That is actually marika and radagon since they are two in the same body
Kinda trash though honestly, why invent a quality of life feature and use it so sparingly? The run back up to the boss fight is the most unnecessary fluff of the whole game, especially when there are hardly any enemies and an elevator that you'll have to prematurely concede defeat by sending it back in case you die again. No one would have cared if there was a stake of marika outside of rennalas library, they would have just assumed one of her detractors put it there, souls fans are good at jumping to conclusions like that. Hell the stakes didn't have to be related to marika in the first place, it could been any contrived item, could have called them "Fleeting Grace Points" for all the difference it could have made, what do the stakes tell us that we couldn't have already figured out? We already learn elsewhere that Marikas intent is for the tarnished to struggle endlessly, we know Rennala is heart broken about radagon leaving her for Marika. The only thing this accomplishes is wasting the players time, both lore and gameplay wise
A good tip for the 3 knights from the Great Jar's trial is that if you don't wanna put up with the toxic builds you can just go offline and they'll just be a standard build
@@choklatecheeseburger I don't think fromsoft intentionally made one of my knights look like Pepe. They also change builds after they defeat you and it's a different playermodel
I don't if its related, but the whirlpools found in the game's map also seem to resemble Godwin's eyes, and the thing that makes it more believable is that in some beaches you can find dead bodies sitting on chairs looking exactly in the direction where the whirlpools are (one of them even seems to have a hidden cave in the center of it)
There's also one beach that is absolutely FULL of those horrifying zombie enemies at the Weeping Peninsula, which sticks out because they show up nowhere else in or near that area.
Correction: it wasn't Vaati who discovered that the DS3 pus of man snake was fully realized in Elden Ring, he was talking about a discovery by Zullie The Witch who made a video about it
@@timeup2549 although despite him being like that I still liked his video, purely based on his style of narration and video quality. But that was back then, now Elden Ring is super popular which beckons tons of lore videos from small channels, even ones I've never seen before, and their video quality can even go toe on toe with Vaati. I'm sure Vaati doesn't mind that, since his strength was always about art commissions and featuring highlight about Souls community, not lore.
That Haligtree tip is pretty legit, though it unfortunately doesn't skip the most annoying part, which is running toward the Great Oracle and trying to dodge his bubble volleys without careening off the branch
If you have a mage build, just simply fire Ranni/Rennla's Moon towards it, it not only shields you from all the bubbles, it also attracts them around it. I used this method to farm the envoy greathorn.
There are unique abductor virgins with different movesets in certain areas: One of them is near the hermit village and he seems to be headless/malfuctioning And theres one in redmane castle with both the wheel and the guillotine arms
The abductor at the bottom of the Academy is much darker color than every other abductor, and as many of you know this one will send you to the volcano manor if killed by the grab attack
4:25 This may actually just be highlighting how MASSIVE the aoe is, as the spawning of that chariot (that the two active ones collide with to destroy) is attached to the activating of an imp pillar within the same dungeon. Now that I think about it, it isn't too too far away from where you use the shackle in that clip. But still far enough that WOW that is an insane radius.
the statue activating this light is right behind the wall, if you back up, you can see it. It's super close, ground slam could trigger it if it worked through walls ;)
oh no, I apologize, It was actually Zullie the Witch who discovered the Snake Boss from DS3, VaatiVidya was also just displaying the cool bit of information. So check out Zullie the Witch, I'm sure you're aware of their channel!
Margits shackle behaves the same as the music box in bloodborne. Its sends out a hitbox that also hits stuff it wasnt intended to hit. The music box is used to stun father Gascoine but it also makes Mergos Wetnurse sidestep as if you used a throwable and it triggers the big bells found in the chalice dungeons.
What's crazy about the Elden Beast using Radagon as a sword is that it means in Soldier of God, Rick's 42nd phase where he rides the Elden Beast, he's technically using the power of two bosses.
After fighting like 5 rivers of blood and Moonveil users from the great jar, I had a feeling something like that was happening. I never fought that in my first playthrough, but of course everyone knows which OP weapons to use now. Also the crystal dart on golems works, they just need other nearby enemies to attack them.
I believe that Haligtree elevator skip was patched with the most recent update unfortunately. Still interesting enough video. I knew most of these already but the charge attack stun on Falling star beasts is definitely new to me. Pretty cool find.

You can skip almost the entirety of the shunning grounds by jumping from a certain ledge. Super helpful tip I got from a Ziostorm video that I haven't seen elsewhere
" There are no stakes of Marika in the academy for lore reasons" is that right, thought? The academy is a "legacy dungeon", and I don't recall a stake of Marika in either Stormveil, Volcano Manor or even Leyndell. I think legacy dungeons simply don't have them
to be fair, those two examples ALSO have something against MarikaXD, She exiled the inhabitants of stormviel from leyndell, and Volcano Manor folks legit want to eat her. As per the wiki, the other legacy dungeons(at least the main ones) are Leyndell, Farum Azula, and the Haligtree, but I've not been noticing whether or not they had stakes(obviously leyndell has the bigger statue of her), but I think generally I always ended up back at grace sites in those locals.
Wait. You mean ... these space scorpion-bulls of death and Astel are the same species? Thats is an insane discovery, well done, community. Btw 7:16 THAT is disgusting.
It's actually theorized Astel is a falling-star beast that was mutated by the residents of the eternal cities to fight the greater will. This was theorized because the beast on Mt. Gelmir was named " *Full grown* Falling Star Beast" implying it couldn't grow anymore and thus couldn't grow into Astel.
Wait a second. Ants in the underground rivers. Ant lions from space sent to destroy the Eternal Cities... Ants drop Numen runes. There has to be something here. The Fallingstar Beasts could be considered to have bodies shaped like lions bodies, but they apparently pupate into Astels. The Astels we are told were sent directly to destroy the Eternal Cities, but we're told that's because of the things the Nox are up to down there. But antlions eat, well, ants. And the ant queens underground drop Numen runes...
@@greattitan371 That is actually very cool. But a bit disappointing too ! I liked the idea of Astel being one of the different alien species in the Lands Between. Actually, I love the obsession From Software has with alien gods and outer beings. So why would Astel be named "Naturalborn of the void"? Doesn't it suggest that somehow, it didn't evolve from anything? I always thought of it as a creature covered in space debris under which there's a body we didn't see yet.
@@ImN0tInsane I want to draw attention to Astel's other title "Stars of Darkness" which isn't it a bit of a countersense a Star is something that emits light but "of Darkness"? Does it mean that Astel is a bunch of stars that glow shadow?
Actually Zulli was the one that found the DS3 snake boss thing - Vaati just included it in one of his videos. I think he even credits Zulli in his video about it.
I feel like the fingers are just older dragons that time has worn down, like if you look at lord placidusax, his skin, and hair textures almost match the fingers. And some of his heads were removed so that might also explain the three fingers as well.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the good quality captions this channel has? I always prefer watching with captions and I'm so used to them being hilariously wrong. Thanks for the good ones
Margit's Shackle is really cool to use, as well as Mohg's, and seeing them break free is pretty badass Also that's probably why I stopped trying to beat the 3 red spirits for Giant Jar, they ALL have bleed builds 😫😤 Torrent is just so fun to ride and I never noticed his head ducking when doing spells!
@@ironiccaesar178 There's also an interesting theory that Radagon could be cursed by the Giants, since him and Marika basically slayed their whole race.
I had no idea about the crystal darts messing with golems and other similar construct enemies. Really goes to show the amount of depth that went into making this game.
I do like the idea that the three knights in the Great Jar's challenge are just player builds from other people's plays. That if you replayed again, you might see three entirely different knights with entirely different loadouts and play styles. Or if you were at the top of the invasion boards or whatever, you might face your own, previous character. Know thine self and know thine enemy.
I accidentally discovered that if you get a set of Champions and then disconnect from the internet and try again, you get the same 3 Champions. I used that to get to a set I could reasonably handle and then took them out using trial and error to learn their moves and get that sweet, sweet medallion. Happy accidents FTW!
The great jar deulist thing reminds me of a similar thing in Nier Automata. Without spoiling any story beats, you get to play a minigame during the end credits. It's pretty hard, but other players who have completed the minigame and done a certain thing afterward will have their names appear on the AI helpers the game gives you after a death or two. The game then prompts you to do the same thing, and if you go through with it you get a special main menu screen.
I remember playing through the Radahn fight and seeing that I could summon patches and thinking, "something doesn't seem right" I thought at first the game would just troll you with an invasion summon, but then I saw him leave and just started laughing.
I remember first getting to the Great Jar and fighting the phantoms, there was a Caster, Greatsword, and a Straight Sword and Shield. I went back at lvl 400 for fun and they ALL had RoB, so much for build variety lol.
2:43 my theory on this is, people inside of the buildings were melted and turn into corpse wax. There was so much of it inside of them, they began to burst out of the seams of the doors and windows
Its surprising Radagon's corpse being the golden order sword isn't more well known, The cutscene shows a close up of the ribcage as the first part of the sword seen.
I'm also really surpised, on my first playthrough I saw elden beast take the sword out of the water and was like "oh shit he turned radagon into the sword!" I though the detail was pretty obvious
Are you sure vaati discovered the whole ulcerated spirit thing? Zulie the witch is a much better source for that. She has done multiple videos and In depth analysis just for vaati to come and credit her in about every video since he doesn’t go into game files, just lore and surface level gaming. Just saying. And as per usual, everything is usually covered much better in the zulie videos since a lot is covered here.
The erdtree avatar fire pot weakness has to be a ds1 reference. I know theyre made of wood, but given that they share the asylum demons moveset, a boss which is infamous for being easy to kill with firebombs, it seems likely
i know about 90% of this video, but i still appreciate the effort of putting it together. as you said yourself, these informations are spread across several channels and several videos. having them all in one video is really amazing.
Great video, I learned some cool things. I keep seeing people repeating that there are not stakes of Marika in the acaadamy and then jumping to lore conclusions . There is a stake of Marika right outside the debate parlor on your way towards Rennala
The OST of Final Fantasy 13's Yasha's Massive was such a nice touch at the end. That track always makes me nostalgic somehow. Good childhood memories...
Uhhhh, the crystal darts do make other golems fight each other. You're just getting too close or not fighting in places with more golems, because the dart doesn't stop them from attacking you, it just allows other enemies to aggro each other
When I watch the Eldon Beast pull that sword out from the darkness all I could see was two blades converging into one it had the same feel of the twin blade two swords coiled together to resemble the two people that come together to form it
Wow, I never noticed that about the sword. And if you look closely you can even see his hand at the end of the arm. It’s crazy the kind of detail that’s put into even the smallest things.
I will add on top of firepots vs tree sentinels: holy urns can be used against death birds to deal massive damage, even with no faith they deal around 800-1.2k damage per single throw, same goes for ash of war "sacred blade", blade projectile and it's effect does massive damage against birds and evaporates every respawning skeleton enemy in 1-2 hits.
This game has been out for 4 months and it still surprises me that there's a lot of things/stuff/details that hasn't been fully discovered yet. So many mystery that needs to be unravel. It was so fascinating.
Also the Revenant enemies (Aka one of the most difficult enemies in the game) can be stunned by using a healing incantations. The heal with AOE will damage and stun them.
Really, really funny video. Loved the juxtaposition of you talking about other youtubers and what they accomplished and you're like, anyways, meet Patches, and by the way did you notice Gostoc?
Guys about GOSTOC. If you spot him a number of times (and talk to him), including the elevator encounter, he stops stealing your runes! A youtuber found this out and I tested, it is true
You have to talk to him in each zone he appears in to get him to stop thieving your runes. Once talked to in that zone it becomes safe. But that implies it is easy to find and approach him. Kinda the point that it is not.
I never knew that the champions of the red jar were based on actual players that’s really cool. But it also explains why all 3 duelists had rivers of blood lol
That said, I believe it only happens (as well as the copying of your character) if you're playing in Online Mode. Offline, it's a trio of generic npc invaders.
@0:16 That Helix reminds me of the Dragonlord Placidusax.. who is shown floating with its heads entwined just like this sword. And isn't Placidusax the previous Elden Lord of Farum Azula?
It is the first time I notice the corpse wax on the doors and windows of the houses in Leyndell. Also, it is used to mend the missing parts of bodies and weapons of the champions used to creat Gargoyles 😯
The Frenzied Flame tomb has the original Merchant's Caravan buried within it, the group where Kale belongs. A song is being played by one of the withering prisoners inside. These musicians are non-hostile.
Well, the reference to the other UA-cam is nicely presented. Their visibility of the reference in your video is more transparent than others UA-camr references. They often just make vocal reference without putting any link or background capture of their UA-cam name. So,.... good for the community, nice touch By the way 4:57 , it seems you cannot use crystal knife to stun the face-machine because it is controlled by a humanoid and not controlled via magic crystals
What a Great Video! The Doorlocking of the Gatekeeper in the Knight‘s Room was horrifying but now i know that he is the culprit! I think i should Go back and Talk to him..🗡
Man, I wish I could play this game for the first time again. All my subsequent playthroughs feel like speedruns cause I don't have much reason to explore anymore. Just need to collect the items for my build.

My first reaction to the Elden Beast cutscene was literally "bruh he just turned radagon into a sword". Nice to see I'm not insane
You can stagger the falling star beasts not only with strong attacks, but with throwable pots too, any kind will do, very helpful mechanic.
Margit's Shackle is really cool to use, as well as Mohg's, and seeing them break free is pretty badass
Also that's probably why I stopped trying to beat the 3 red spirits for Giant Jar, they ALL have bleed builds 😫😤
Torrent is just so fun to ride and I never noticed his head ducking when doing spells!
The radagon corpse thing, for me, can be seen as a connection to the Giants
Remember Milos?
@Charles Hastings radagon could be a giant
@@ironiccaesar178 i believe so, why else would be radahn be so huge
@@ironiccaesar178 There's also an interesting theory that Radagon could be cursed by the Giants, since him and Marika basically slayed their whole race.
Or maybe he's cursed like the giant
I had no idea about the crystal darts messing with golems and other similar construct enemies. Really goes to show the amount of depth that went into making this game.
I do like the idea that the three knights in the Great Jar's challenge are just player builds from other people's plays. That if you replayed again, you might see three entirely different knights with entirely different loadouts and play styles. Or if you were at the top of the invasion boards or whatever, you might face your own, previous character. Know thine self and know thine enemy.
I accidentally discovered that if you get a set of Champions and then disconnect from the internet and try again, you get the same 3 Champions. I used that to get to a set I could reasonably handle and then took them out using trial and error to learn their moves and get that sweet, sweet medallion.
Happy accidents FTW!
The great jar deulist thing reminds me of a similar thing in Nier Automata. Without spoiling any story beats, you get to play a minigame during the end credits. It's pretty hard, but other players who have completed the minigame and done a certain thing afterward will have their names appear on the AI helpers the game gives you after a death or two. The game then prompts you to do the same thing, and if you go through with it you get a special main menu screen.
I remember playing through the Radahn fight and seeing that I could summon patches and thinking, "something doesn't seem right" I thought at first the game would just troll you with an invasion summon, but then I saw him leave and just started laughing.
Game: Patches has returned to his world.
Me: Lol! You little cowardly shit! Well, didn't need you anyway. Lmao!
I noticed that about patches on my first time fighting Radahn. It’s funny because Alexander says how owned he got but at least he tried to fight.
I remember first getting to the Great Jar and fighting the phantoms, there was a Caster, Greatsword, and a Straight Sword and Shield. I went back at lvl 400 for fun and they ALL had RoB, so much for build variety lol.
2:43 my theory on this is, people inside of the buildings were melted and turn into corpse wax. There was so much of it inside of them, they began to burst out of the seams of the doors and windows
Its surprising Radagon's corpse being the golden order sword isn't more well known, The cutscene shows a close up of the ribcage as the first part of the sword seen.
I'm also really surpised, on my first playthrough I saw elden beast take the sword out of the water and was like "oh shit he turned radagon into the sword!" I though the detail was pretty obvious
Same, when he first pulled the sword, I noticed the texture and was like “is that radagons flesh?”
no amount of lore can stop my newly made prosthetic arm from admiring Zullie and her efforts
Fallingstar Beast : CHARGE!
Tarnished: Now you shall feel the wrath of my....HANDS!
Are you sure vaati discovered the whole ulcerated spirit thing? Zulie the witch is a much better source for that. She has done multiple videos and In depth analysis just for vaati to come and credit her in about every video since he doesn’t go into game files, just lore and surface level gaming. Just saying. And as per usual, everything is usually covered much better in the zulie videos since a lot is covered here.
The erdtree avatar fire pot weakness has to be a ds1 reference. I know theyre made of wood, but given that they share the asylum demons moveset, a boss which is infamous for being easy to kill with firebombs, it seems likely
The lack of Marika statues in the academy was something I never even noticed. Cool detail.
I find it cool that the serpent hunter spear strikes an extremely close design to the nameless kings speae
The fire heads arent actually golems, they're vehicles. You can go around and attack the rear driver for extra damage
You can also plunge attack from the horse and make them explode insta kill
@@kamahlfriscia it’s so hard for me to pull off lmao
You mentioned the heads on the death rite bird, but not the small army of spirits holding death ritual spears on its wings?
i know about 90% of this video, but i still appreciate the effort of putting it together. as you said yourself, these informations are spread across several channels and several videos.
having them all in one video is really amazing.
This is what is missing from games these days. Effort and passion! I hope Elden Ring sells forever. Brilliant game.
Rehv's basement is the side channel of infamous comedian and souls streamer Rehvion
Tho Wasnt it zullie the witch who found out about the tree spirit being an old ds3 boss?
yep
5:02 It also causes other hostile golems to attack the golem that was affected by the darts
Great video, I learned some cool things.
I keep seeing people repeating that there are not stakes of Marika in the acaadamy and then jumping to lore conclusions . There is a stake of Marika right outside the debate parlor on your way towards Rennala
The OST of Final Fantasy 13's Yasha's Massive was such a nice touch at the end. That track always makes me nostalgic somehow. Good childhood memories...
Uhhhh, the crystal darts do make other golems fight each other. You're just getting too close or not fighting in places with more golems, because the dart doesn't stop them from attacking you, it just allows other enemies to aggro each other
When I watch the Eldon Beast pull that sword out from the darkness all I could see was two blades converging into one it had the same feel of the twin blade two swords coiled together to resemble the two people that come together to form it
Wow, Star Ocean TET music? Didn't expect that in a Elden Ring video, nice touch.
omg omg omg, using the Margit Shackle for illusory walls is A GAME-CHANGER, WOOOOW, i'm so glad i learned this!!
Wow, I never noticed that about the sword. And if you look closely you can even see his hand at the end of the arm. It’s crazy the kind of detail that’s put into even the smallest things.
wow
That Margit's Shackle tip, oh my god. This gonna be good.
I will add on top of firepots vs tree sentinels: holy urns can be used against death birds to deal massive damage, even with no faith they deal around 800-1.2k damage per single throw, same goes for ash of war "sacred blade", blade projectile and it's effect does massive damage against birds and evaporates every respawning skeleton enemy in 1-2 hits.
Thank you for the up to date original content, i never heard these secrets in the first 2 months after elden ring
Best hidden mechanics video I’ve ever seen, that Margits shackle is a game changer
This game has been out for 4 months and it still surprises me that there's a lot of things/stuff/details that hasn't been fully discovered yet. So many mystery that needs to be unravel. It was so fascinating.
4:47 a giant monster made of stone charges at you, and the madlad simply deflects the beast with a punch... 🤣
Also the Revenant enemies (Aka one of the most difficult enemies in the game) can be stunned by using a healing incantations. The heal with AOE will damage and stun them.
It makes me happy that someone out there is fighting or has fought my dual moonlight great sword build
Really, really funny video. Loved the juxtaposition of you talking about other youtubers and what they accomplished and you're like, anyways, meet Patches, and by the way did you notice Gostoc?
There's something awesomely horrifying about Radagon's body bein twisted into the Elden Beast's sword
1:21 I just realised now thatt the blu things on death rite birds wings are accualy little ghosts holding a spear.
Thanks for advice on the tree avatar guy. I couldn’t tell they were made of wood because I was always occupied with running away.
That sword detail is AMAZING!
Guys about GOSTOC. If you spot him a number of times (and talk to him), including the elevator encounter, he stops stealing your runes! A youtuber found this out and I tested, it is true
You have to talk to him in each zone he appears in to get him to stop thieving your runes. Once talked to in that zone it becomes safe. But that implies it is easy to find and approach him. Kinda the point that it is not.
The malenia elevator I knew was there, but dang never thought 😳 about it to suicide there!!!
Well done!!!
5:03
The Guardian does overcharge and attack other enemies nearby. It's easy to notice when two guardians are near each other.
Nice video. Succinct and to the point. Thanks for not spreading the info out over like 15 minutes.
2:18 I remember laughing so hard when I see the notification of Patches just leaving
Margit's Shackle trick for the chariots is AWESOME!
i never knew about the margit's shackle trick, gonna be spamming it in a lotta dungeons from now on
I never knew that the champions of the red jar were based on actual players that’s really cool. But it also explains why all 3 duelists had rivers of blood lol
That said, I believe it only happens (as well as the copying of your character) if you're playing in Online Mode.
Offline, it's a trio of generic npc invaders.
Godrick the Grafter: "You know what this scion lacks? A Pheasant wing! Ties the whole thing together."
really makes the baby arms fit in well
The Malenia skip is INSANE
The use of margits shackle was very helpful thank you
I enjoyed the random Greenpath that started playing in the background 🤗
God the attention to detail is insane
@0:16 That Helix reminds me of the Dragonlord Placidusax.. who is shown floating with its heads entwined just like this sword.
And isn't Placidusax the previous Elden Lord of Farum Azula?
It is the first time I notice the corpse wax on the doors and windows of the houses in Leyndell.
Also, it is used to mend the missing parts of bodies and weapons of the champions used to creat Gargoyles 😯
The Frenzied Flame tomb has the original Merchant's Caravan buried within it, the group where Kale belongs. A song is being played by one of the withering prisoners inside. These musicians are non-hostile.
Well, the reference to the other UA-cam is nicely presented. Their visibility of the reference in your video is more transparent than others UA-camr references. They often just make vocal reference without putting any link or background capture of their UA-cam name. So,.... good for the community, nice touch
By the way 4:57 , it seems you cannot use crystal knife to stun the face-machine because it is controlled by a humanoid and not controlled via magic crystals
What a Great Video! The Doorlocking of the Gatekeeper in the Knight‘s Room was horrifying but now i know that he is the culprit! I think i should Go back and Talk to him..🗡
Knowing the Margits shackles trick earlier would have made my life 10x easier
Malenia at the end: "You done taking selfies? Now let's fight!"
Of all things these videos make me realize how much I love Hollow Knight music.
The purple cape is obtained by having the unaltered beast champion armor
Radagon in the thumbnail just looks so done. An accurate representation of being beaten up and getting turned into a sword
6:08 "your build will appear as a jar of the great knight" 😂 Fuck yes, i became a jar!
Man, I wish I could play this game for the first time again. All my subsequent playthroughs feel like speedruns cause I don't have much reason to explore anymore. Just need to collect the items for my build.
6:40
There are summoning pool which are related to Marika's Crucifixes
