It makes sense narratively and it's a great reward for the people who like to experiment with ashes. Still, for the players who don't use them (for whatever reason) it's a disappointing non-reward in a dungeon type that is already highly repetitive.
I must have been in some sort of limbo while playing Elden Ring because I remember all these dungeons that you've shown, but just the enter and exit part. 😂
@@snefansson Chalice Dungeons were better imo especially since, well, they were in a better game. The "door has opened" pop-up also doesn't block inputs on Bloodborne. Yeeeaah...
I was an idiot while getting that trophy, for some reason I mistook ashes for remembrances, and went through getting to and fighting all the remembrance bosses before I realized my mistake and just went to bed.
Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff is one of my favorite ashes in the game bc not only is he tanky as shit while not usually dealing so much damage that he wins fights for me, but there was one time I used him against the Onyx Lord in Sealed Tunnel bc I vastly overestimated the difficulty of that encounter and we curbstomped the poor bastard so hard I was laughing my ass off for most of the extremely short fight. We had him pinned to the wall and Kristoff was spamming repulsion so he couldn’t even get off the ground, it was like me and my buddy just walked into the room and kneecapped this guy with a crowbar immediately.
One thing I've always wondered: Why are people skipping major enemies, like this gladiator? When I see a big foe for the first time, I immediately wanna know what it drops, so I kill it.
This... The giant runebear in caelid (i think) with the massive health bar sparked my interest so i spent a long time whittling him down just to get more hefty bones. I don't understand the concept of "oh a tough looking enemy, no thanks" but to each their own
Because most of them don't drop things people would ever use and there's a billion encounters like this in the game so it doesn't feel very satisfying or unique to beat them
When I see a tough enemy I will explore backward if theres anywhere I think I missed before confronting so I dont back myself into more enemies or some stupid thing. Last thing i want against a tough foe is adds.
The ashes you get are one of the best in the game (that I have encountered), the dude is an absolute tank even at lower levels and once you start to level him his offensive capacity grows massively. He's pretty much my go to summon for most situations. So absolutely worthy of being a dungeon prize really.
@@McSwordy yes you can do that..... and get less damage then just r1ing, noob Take trolls for example you get nearly 5x more damage r1 mashing instead of attacking then riposting Only enemies this isn't true for is Goldens cuz for some reason only they get properly scaled riposte
@@turtleofannihilation272 after the riposte, start charging an R2 to land right when they get up and can be attacked again, you could also use your weapon art if it’s an offensive one. The Carian Knight Sword comes to mind, it’s weapon art can be charged and deals stupid amounts of damage, combine it with the Godfrey Icon and Great Jar Shard/Alexander’s Shard talismans and you have a nuke. You could also use both the Carian Family Crest to reduce FP cost and the Cerulean Black Knife Dagger to replenish FP off of backstabs and ripostes, the Carian Knight Sword’s weapon art even does a good amount of stagger damage so you can even regain FP off of larger enemies that can’t be parried. It’s a near guaranteed poise-break which leads into a riposte, and then you can just hit them with it again on the wake up. The troll in your example? Greedy R1 spamming will likely just get you stomped on, and it won’t do much for poise damage. Instead, occasionally throw in jumping attack on smaller openings, wait for a really good opening like when he stabs his sword into the ground, hit him with your beefiest attack, this will take him down fast, give it two quick non-charged R2s while down, do the riposte, and large enemies like that usually don’t have immunity frames while getting back up, and that’s when you should go ham with R1 spam assuming he isn’t dead already.
@@Slender_Man_186 I love how you completely miss my point about how riposting does WAY to little damage, my point wasn't that r1 mashing is the highest dps in the game, if fact, the exact opposite, I was pointing out how even the simplest damage source by far beats riposting. Also, I thought I made it super clear already but I meant AFTER breaking stance. Seeing as it's common knowledge that the light attack is (on most weapons) the weakest stance breaking option. I love how you jumped into this conversation with no clue what we are talking about
The mechanic is done again in the mountaintops of the Giants, but everyone misses it because you generally see the fire giant dog gate first. There's also a unique twist on it in that dungeon that took me a bit to work out.
I somehow missed this dungeon on my first playthrough, and JUST found it today. A good mechanic for sure! I'm glad FromSoft didn't overuse it though. :Edit: Also, Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff slaps. - More damage and HP than Lhutel - Doesn't drop aggro like Lhutel does when she teleports around - Tri-lightning bolt attack - Swift thrust attacks that help him close the distance and hold aggro
The dragon scale halberd is so underrated, I wish it was a little better against bosses but for small and medium sized enemies or enemies with low poise it's pretty much free stun lock
Dude, if this is the dungeon I remember...you didn't need to agro the duelist. There's a lift nearby that if you activate, without staying on the lift, that will reveal another light circle to use right there.
Or I could use my SPIN MOVE (proceeds to spam stormcaller) black knifes are hilariously helpless against it, it turns even the invisible ones into jokes.
The duelist was pretty buggy. I had to hold aggro on him (sometimes by attacking his phantom) until he did an attack that would bring him into the light.
It's called a Bow, seriously. Do people play this game with zero experience for video games. I play Elden Ring like WoW. I also think we should be able to inspect gear. Don't summon me to help you with the Elden Beast if you don't have Holy resistance. I have 6 flasks I can't carry you. You have to know how to survive. I remember the days of kicking people out of my Molten Core Raid who had less than 100 Fire resistance.
Did I ask you for your opinion? Fromsoft games are known for every strategy being viable, and considering people have beaten the game with shields and thorn armor and shit, I don't see why a bow would be necessary. My point from the beginning was that you have to hold aggro on the duelist until he charges into the light source. But ok, keep playing samurai make sure you have 999 of each arrow Git gud casul
@@ulyaoth3579 "Don't summon me if you have no holy res" is probably the most gatekeeping take I heard from a person who is being summoned. If you are just casually enjoying the game you will have no idea about a half of game mechanics, let alone what type of damage any given boss deals.
There's several that use that mechanic, primarily in the later game. I'd actually missed this hero's grave, so I had to work out this mechanic without any helpful hints.
The problem with the pointless message that gives you locked in syndrome and a MISSING, ABSENT PRESUMED DEAD dismiss button is STILL IN THE GAME. Thank you so much for putting this bug in the video! Nobody talks about it, I feel so relieved to be seen by another player it is releasing my trauma
Game: sets the expectation that these types of dungeons reward you with ashes at the end Leviathan: I can't believe ashes are the reward for this Jokes aside, thanks for this video. I got the grace while running around Altus but forgot to go back to do the dungeon. Can also confirm that subscribing somehow patches the game to not lock inputs on those pop-ups.
The second tomb with this mechanic is in the mountain top of the giants, some giant hunters grave or something. Took me a while to realise the Elevator works a switch for the 'regression light'
There is another tomb that utilizes the mechanic as well, along with other typical puzzles to complement the feature. It was an extremely fun dungeon and I remember standing around 🧍♂️ thinking about what to do.
Going off memory, I'm pretty sure there was an illusiary wall behind where the two spirit callers were at the top of the stairs. Could be mistaken though.
I skipped this hero’s grave because I don’t like any hero graves after going through gelmir. But then I realized this one only gives you ashes so Im definitely not pulling up.
If you activate the elevator by the duelist guy and then roll off before the elevator moves, it activates a light right there in that room. No need to have dragged him all the way back to that other light. There's also another section you can explore / loot by taking the 2nd elevator that appears when you roll off the first one.
You can sneak by the black knife assassin. If you approach from the south ledge they start a patrol and will walk far from the entrance and back and once it's open you can lure the assassin in and it will slightly break the AI's pathfinding as it knows it shouldn't be in there. Just cram 'em in a corner and whack away
You don't need to lure the gladiator to the light, if I recall. Just have it stand under the guillotines. I thought that was obvious tbh, I always try to use traps to my advantage if I can. I might be remembering wrong, though.
i saw this dungeon and left 10 minutes in because i thought that collapsing ground part would kill me if i touched it for some reason, and ran out of things to do
Honestly I feel like black knifes are really easy enemies. You typically just have to control your panicking and only do so after they perform any kind of dash/jump attack. Then when you are in close quarters don't panic, simply roll into/to the side of attacks. They will eventually provide an opening if you follow that strategy. Rinse and repeat until dead. Or just summon a mimic walk behind and beat the shit out of them. Whichever floats your boat 🤷♀
Odd, my gladiator went right up to the light... Of course, I'd also been puttering around a while before dealing with him. Know what sucks though? The revenant that spawns will evidently spawn each time you trip that area upstairs, even after you've killed him. THAT was a sorry discovery to have made, even for a faith build that knows the heal trick with revenants...
I swear those Grafted enemies are the worst enemy in the entire game. I did hear something interesting from a friend though and haven't gotten to test it yet, but he told me that he cast one of those AOE heal spells and it instantly killed one of those Grafted enemies.
I actually thought this was a neat gimmick dungeon. I'd be pretty happy if all the catacomb-type dungeons had some kind of gimmick like this instead of the "putting the way forward underneath an elevator, which in every other case is a death fall" meme. Super confusing and stumping the first time you encounter it, and then you realize they use this for like 10 other dungeons, which totally ruins the "aha!" moment.
You mean the assassin? Those are among the more fun enemies imho. Very unusual, tricky fighitng style because duh it's an assassin, but once you learn the patterns it's super easy to punish them.
2 things…. First I thought it was funny that karma got you for being lazy and not wanting to fight the duelist😂 Second….There is nothing wrong at all with the bosses reward, they are actually really cool and strong legendary ashes!
I've had mechanics in Rollercoaster Tycoon work for hundreds of years without leaving the park, and seemingly taking "IOU"s no matter how much debt I'm in (without even charging interest!). I suspect they're better than any of the mechanics in Elden Ring.
This dungeon's light gimmick was really unique, but it was a shame that there was I think *one* enemy that you actually had to pull a significant distance away from it's spawn to weaken it. The rest all just naturally wander into the light 10 feet from where it spawns, making the entire gimmick redundant. should've been a more recurring mechanic in like, maybe all crypts and tombs?
When the „Stonesword Key was lost with use“ message ( or any other message ) pops up… just press the interact button (Y / Triangle) to make it go away. Just like that ^^
Yeah, it's the fact that unlike almost every other message similar to that, it either has a prompt to show you need to press that button to make it go away, or it goes away on its own after a few seconds and doesn't lock your inputs. He wasn't complaining that there wasn't a way to get rid of it, in fact he mentions the fact it needs a prompt for the button in the video, so he obviously knows the interact button gets rid of it, it's just annoying when it looks like any other message that doesn't lock inputs, but happens to lock inputs and requires you to press the interact button to remove it, almost like it's trying to bait you unto thinking it'll go away on its own (also makes activating a lever a terrible idea in combat if you pull it off, and if you were fighting the enemy in that dungeon but there were other enemies as well, it would make the whole fight after killing the big man even more annoying by locking your inputs MID FIGHT, because you killed one of the enemies.... It's just one of the few pieces of bad game design in an otherwise amazing game, similar to how a lot of the bosses are just enemies from later in the game, and how a lot of rewards and rare items are actually useless in the grand scheme of things.... Terrible ideas implemented into a great game)
I hate that textbox that doesn't disappear or have a prompt to dismiss. I notice it the most when I pull the lever to open the boss door. I'm usually getting swarmed by enemies at that point and I can't defend myself because of the text box. It wouldn't be so bad except that there are text boxes that pop up without a dismiss prompt that don't inhibit the player's input and automatically dismiss themselves, which is what most players would assume is the case for the "You opened a door..." message. It's just inconsistent design language and it really irks me...
Its the hero in green tunic - Zelda!
really wish they would have done more with this feature it's too unique to only be used twice
Lol to all the people who thinks Zelda is link. :b
Was this not the dungeon with the elevator with the light statue on it?

If memory serves you can use that spirit ash to cheese Adula
There's another dungeon with this shadow to light mechanic somewhere
if im not wrong there are like 3 or 4 dungeons with the light thing in them
I've had mechanics in Rollercoaster Tycoon work for hundreds of years without leaving the park, and seemingly taking "IOU"s no matter how much debt I'm in (without even charging interest!). I suspect they're better than any of the mechanics in Elden Ring.
This dungeon's light gimmick was really unique, but it was a shame that there was I think *one* enemy that you actually had to pull a significant distance away from it's spawn to weaken it. The rest all just naturally wander into the light 10 feet from where it spawns, making the entire gimmick redundant. should've been a more recurring mechanic in like, maybe all crypts and tombs?
I see they took inspiration from port royal in kingdom hearts 2
Honestly Law of regression should counter these shadow shade immunity thingy
When the „Stonesword Key was lost with use“ message ( or any other message ) pops up… just press the interact button (Y / Triangle) to make it go away. Just like that ^^
Yeah, it's the fact that unlike almost every other message similar to that, it either has a prompt to show you need to press that button to make it go away, or it goes away on its own after a few seconds and doesn't lock your inputs.
He wasn't complaining that there wasn't a way to get rid of it, in fact he mentions the fact it needs a prompt for the button in the video, so he obviously knows the interact button gets rid of it, it's just annoying when it looks like any other message that doesn't lock inputs, but happens to lock inputs and requires you to press the interact button to remove it, almost like it's trying to bait you unto thinking it'll go away on its own
(also makes activating a lever a terrible idea in combat if you pull it off, and if you were fighting the enemy in that dungeon but there were other enemies as well, it would make the whole fight after killing the big man even more annoying by locking your inputs MID FIGHT, because you killed one of the enemies.... It's just one of the few pieces of bad game design in an otherwise amazing game, similar to how a lot of the bosses are just enemies from later in the game, and how a lot of rewards and rare items are actually useless in the grand scheme of things.... Terrible ideas implemented into a great game)
@@moosecannibal8224 it’s weird bc a lot of the issues in this game can be avoided so easily idg why they can’t fix this stuff.
Correction lansseax is fortissax's sister
I hate that textbox that doesn't disappear or have a prompt to dismiss. I notice it the most when I pull the lever to open the boss door. I'm usually getting swarmed by enemies at that point and I can't defend myself because of the text box.
It wouldn't be so bad except that there are text boxes that pop up without a dismiss prompt that don't inhibit the player's input and automatically dismiss themselves, which is what most players would assume is the case for the "You opened a door..." message.
It's just inconsistent design language and it really irks me...
What armor are you wearing in this video?
Really? Black knives are too unpredictable for you? They almost fit perfectly into a routine when they attack and have two very backstab-able attacks
What armor set are you wearing here?
Where did you get the armor? Haven't seen anywhere in game.
What armor are you wearing?
Did you use a mod for that armor? How do you get that kilt??
Oh dont worry... Theres another area that this mechanic is used (I actually love this mechanic) but I'll let you be surprised :)
2:10 you just need to press E and it goes away
