the only way I found the archdragon peak area was cause I did the path of the dragon emote next to the dragon just to take a picture and send it to my friend saying twinzies
A Beaten Weiner You obviously haven't played Dark Souls yet. It's a joke about people leaving messages that indicate a nearby illusory wall but there is ALWAYS another message before that message saying "Liar ahead." It was done so much that everytime someone mentioned illusory wall someone would say liar ahead.
And 5 years later I'll be happy to confirm that the Tree shortcut at firelink shrine still works after all this time. Seems it was intended after all ☺
+Shaun Devlin Correct! I didn't even know the spider cage monster dude was there when I found the covenant. It seems to be more a super vague typical Souls hint.

@@ariesstepp763 Helpful invader? Is that possible? I have seen a lot of bad phantoms who start emote spamming when encountering a boss but never a good invader. You're lucky.
But the giants arn't that hard to hit if you don't lock on to them, and they arn't as bad as the king of the storm fight. The Gaping Dragon didn't fly way above you when you had no way to look at it and it also had a decent sized hitbox compared to the wyverns tiny head that is so hard to hit. The second stage, aka The Nameless king isn't as hard with a way to parry him, the hardest part about him is reading his attacks which is extremely hard compared to most bosses.
+kagehi pinette well, I dont know what wrong, but in my fights with them the king of Storms never survived longer than a minute :S The Nameless king has always beaten me on his own...

You don't' have to talk to the caged mob to pacify the mob. Just don't kill the boss. It's just a hint about how to get down there. Also, you don't have to fight both crocs at the same time. Just fire an arrow at the far left one and pull it before taking the other on.
+OGNerd Same, I actually had all of the right pieces in place to do this ending, but instead accidentally summoned the firekeeper and got the dark ending instead :/ oh well, there's always NG+!

The whole tutorial area in the beginning of the game up until you get to the firelink shrine. After you kill the consumed king, go all the way in the back of the room after youve killed him and hit the wall all the way in the back and youre there. How come this wasnt presented in this video?
I was super proud of finding the darkmoon covenant on my own, when i realized the bridge wouldnt move anymore and there wasnt any other way to go there, i shoot an arrow to the ground and hit the invisible ground as i thought. I did miss way more obvious stuff haha
first, you don't need to talk got the caged undead.. second, rosetta's fingers? and third, you included the other two hidden areas but not the untended graves??? that shit blew my mind when I went through. other than those, really enjoyed the video
+Caleb Duran keeping in mind there is no achievement for that ending though, unless it counts as the same ending as the same ending as summoning the fire keeper... haven't tried it out yet.
The second boss for Archdragon's peak made me so mad. I died to him 27 times, I was fighting him alone the entire time. I later found out, after beating him, that he is considered the hardest boss in the game.
@Stealth Mode actually he didnt say that at all, he actually said this when interviewed; The backstory: In 2015, when talking about Dark Souls III, Miyazaki said it was “not the final product for the Dark Souls series,” adding that it was a “turning point.” This summer Miyazaki told the Japanese press he was “put[ting] the Dark Souls series on hold for a while.”
I wouldn't personally even call it a secret ending...I mean, getting Yoel is easy, taking the free levels is easy when you don't know that it'll turn you into jerky, then finding and following Anri's questline is again easy, because it's the most straightforward questline in the game. Once you get Yuria she just tells you everything to do beyond there.
You know what is funny, I got the secret ending by accident, I had no idea there was a hiding assassin in corner and let it live XD And the Hollow wedding I had no idea what I was going for I saw the secret path and was like "Ok what does this do?"

+RobertGameFreak Excuse me? King of Londor... That's a title for some foolish old god Milord, you are the true Dark Lord, Our Most Deared Lord of Hollows *bows properly* let this dark herald serve you, and may the Dark wash over him.
A friend of mine and I discovered the Darkmoon covenant by ourselves, he was at the edge wondering how to get across, when I jokingly said "Hey, try dropping a prism stone!" He gave me a very dirty look to let me know how dumb I was, then rolled off the edge to prove his point. When he not only survived, but found himself standing on an invisible walkway, we both had a good laugh.
Okey, so the information in this video regarding the first covenant is wrong. You dont need to talk to the guy before going in the other guys cage. He is friendly as long as you havent killed the wood boss yet
Yeah, also killing NPC, that's being summoned right after the first bossfight in Archdragon Peak will reward you with their weapon also you'll be able to find Drakeblood armor where you found the gesture. When you meet enemy that summons drakeblood knights second time - summoned knight will drop Ricards Rapier. Defeating Havel, spawns his armor set where you fought Stray demon. Jeez... DS3 is full of tricky seecrets :D
+Sam Poncho to the right of where you go to the alter to get the dragons torso, climb up a ladder and he's standing next to a wyverns' corpse. beware he can kill in two hits.
If you think someone's "Try Jumping!" message is legit, then throw an "I'M SORRY" carving or similar over the edge to test it. I do this because i never remember to carry prism stones... or turn auto-fill back on.
"will be summoned when someone is invaded" - been waiting since the game launched. Never once invaded someone but if i equip way of blue someone comes immediately lol. Farmed the silver nights with the covenant on and finished via farming without ever once being summoned.
Sounds like mitch from gamefront. Anyway, there is also two artorias easter eggs in the firelink shrine. Both are in the same spot but one is in the lit firelink and the other in the untened grave. The hub area one has a dog next to a grave with a small artorias sword perched upon the gravestone, reference to sif boss fight except way easier. The one in untented graves is the exact same except its as if you went to the opposite side and for those of you who played dark souls, what lies on the other side is the horbets ring which is also a reference to dark souls.
I'm pretty new to the series, started with bloodborne which i haven't finished yet cause of school and exams and shit but i've watched playthroughs of the older games but man i didn't realise how in depth these games were, optional areas that you can completely miss, bosses in those areas, that invisible bridge stuff. I'm gonna have to get this game
start with DS1 and then DS2, you need to have played and felt what those games are like before playing DS3 to truly feel the impact of some of the stuff in DS3. but if you don't care about lore or easter eggs and just want new graphics, cool bosses and combat that sill has players to PvP with, then by all means go ahead and play DS3 first. but seriously dude, watching playthroughs of the other games just isn't enough, you gotta experience them for yourself.
+SparksFly2323 unfortunately i can't play DS1 cause i don't have a good enough pc and i don't have a ps3 anymore, but i've read about the lore to have some understanding of whats going on and how it's linked to DS3, seems like 1 is linked to 3 more than 2 is! I can play DS2 though so thats something at least
Hey thanks for this tips on secrets video. I am currently in the middle of recording Dark Souls 3, And I am now going to be using a couple of these secrets namely the early crow access and the mound covenant, I will make sure to add your video into the description of mine. cheers, Keep up the good work and PLAYAWAY
+Raid probably isn't gonna happen for quite some time man 😂 they've planned 3 DLCs and the first isn't even out yet while the second is scheduled to not be released until 2017!
Another secret (glitch more than anything) is the swordsman glitch. First, kill the uchigitana wielder in Firelink. Thensummon the sword master for the Dancer/Champion fights. Let the swordmaster die, and exit the game. Continue the game, resummon him, and go back into those boss battles. The sword master will have no hit box and cannot be damaged by the bosses. The sword master can bleed both bosses down without you needing to do anything more than keep your distance from either boss. This also gets you into Londor early on for soem early game suicide runs to grab titinite chunks and other goodies, and the sunbro covenant alter near the Dragonslayer Armor boss.
You can, though regardless of git gud or not, you can get to lothric castle and covetous king's garden super early and collect enough large/chunks to build a +9 weapon early in the game.
I was surprised that they mentioned Illusory walls but didn't mention the Untended Graves secret area of the game. Although it's not as hard to get to as the Archdragon Peak but still it's easy to miss. For the record if people are curious it's behind an illusory wall behind the chest you find after the Oceiros boss
There is also another secret area for those who don't know after oceiros there is a hidden wall past the emote and the chest at the end of the room. it leads to the dark firelink shrine. Also, if you return sometime after you visit Archdragon Peak, Where the emote was there will be another item that is the Drakeblood set
good vid ! But ... u don´t need fight against these crocodiles in same time . u can stay at the ladder and use a bow and hit the right crocodile ,than the monster come to u and u can fight against this first crocodile near the ladder and after that u can fight against the second one . greetings .
it was funny. i slaughtered the first one no problem. not a hit taken. the second one owned me like 3 times in a row. finally killed it and some chode invaded and insta killed drained me lol.
You can also stick hard to the left wall and Aggro the beast on the left. Run back to ladder area and you can fight him there without making the other beast aggro.
i dont know if its required, but you forgot to mention to talk to yuria and she will mention how anri shows potential to be your "bride", its different dialogue than the being ready one, i also feel bad about discovering this quest. When i went hollow i was so confused and mad, i thought hollow wasnt a thing anymore, so i went to look up a way to reverse it, only to find out about yuria, now i didnt read the entire questline, i just read that there was an ending related to being hollow so i just stuck with it and managed to follow everything on my own with the exception of my confusion on what the darkmoon tomb was, i went to yorshkas bonfire and was like wut, so i had to look up which one it meant, oh and to confirm that touching the last bonfire did the correct ending and not kindled the fire
You don't have to talk to the dude in the cage, you can just go straight to the guy with the cage on his back and he'll not be aggressive as long as you don't kill the boss of that area
A lot of secrets, hidden things and even some main elements of the game in the entire Dark Souls series are often hidden behind a giant metaphorical wall, and on that wall someone has scribed in blood "How the hell was I expected to figure that out?!"
Do you know what a secret is in a game? It's something that is hidden. How is the Mound Makers Covenant and Smoldering Lake not hidden content? How is the dead body in Profane Capital not an easter egg? I swear, Souls players can be the most pretentious bunch.
@@OneAndZer0 That ladder guy is the only one that surprised me. There is a trophy you achieve when you find all covenants because of that I don't consider them as "Secrets" an easter egg or secret should not give you trophy. At least that's what I think.
@@OneAndZer0 a secret is something hidden that is special and separate to the main content.. everything in this video is just questlines, items and areas that are part of the game you're meant to find normally... they aren't secrets.
A little add on to the anhri/yuria questline, once you've talked to anhri and told her about you killing horace, you can go back to the location he was killed in and you'll find him buried under a pile of stones with some flowers and his shield perched on top of it. :)
top 1 - u also need to find firekeeper eyes and give them back to fire keeper ( also after defeating last boss u need to summon her instead of linking a fire) top 3 - u can summon hawkwood to help u get dragon torso before u ring the bell top 4 - archdragon peak also provide u havels armor ( if u killed real havel near dead wyvern) - armor will be on th corpse near stone demon ( old wolf farron bonfire) top 8 - smouldering lake got secret shortcut ( u can destroy the ground with catapult so u can skin killing the worm) and we noticed ladderguy body BUT nothing about Quelaag's Sister? - there is her body with pyro tome top ? - no catarina quest ????? top ? - no greyrat quest ????? top ? - no rosaria covenant and leonhard quest line with boss soul reward well the video is great but it miss a lot of stuff and posted to late xD the one thing new here - is a ladder guy corpse xD but many guys noticed that
+airanator1212 If you dont even go there,that doesnt affect much,its really affect the Anri's questline when you are healed the dark sigil,in that case,you can see her/his (always your character opposite gender) sign before aldricht,then you can help him to defeat him,he mention at the end of the fight Horace,who you killed,"Horace,we finally did it" after you port back to your world,talk to Ludleth at the shrine (the undead guy on the throne who exchange the boss weapons for their souls) and he give you anris straight sword.
+H4xooR I heard that If you went back to smoudering lake without being cursed after get the sword, you will be able to fight Anri at the place you killed Horance. There will be a tomb, and she will be fighting with a broken straight sword. I have'nt tried that yet though.
+Lin Justin Actually you can do it when you are cursed (i'm not sure about without being cursed). You will find Anri at that place if you told him/her about what happened to Horance. However, if you didn't tell him/her about him, you will find him/her near the crest shield loot (near the first bonfire at Cathedral of the Deep uphill). In both areas, he/she would be hostile, and he/she doesn't drop any loot.
You don't need to talk to the caged whateveritis to go into the cage and get down to Hodrick in the Pit of Hollows. The boss fight in the Smoldering Lake is more in the beginning than in the end. Literally the whole area beyond the actual lake is only there if you want to disable the giant Ballista, and of course get a few sweet items including two pyromancy tomes. The first free level from Yoel, you will get when you get back to FIrelink Shrine after sending him there. After that, you will need to die 2 times to get the next level, and 2 for each level up to 5 beyond that. You must also do this before the ABYSS WATCHERS, not Aldrich. Yoel will die when you enter the Catacombs of Carthus. Anri is a woman or a man depending on your gender. I feel like these are some of the things you should check up on before making videos about them, especially since the channel is so large.
+sampochw I stopped watching when he got the whole mound makers shit wrong. There is literally a step by step guide for it on the wiki that he obviously didn't read.
ive never talked to the caged guy and always been able to join the covenant no problem lol as long as you don't kill the greatwood and don't attack the guy with a cage on his back you're yood
DKS CAST I went up to the monster with the cage on his back and pressed X to climb in. I didn't speak to the weird cage monster guy with the plank shield right infront of him, he tells you some bizzarre riddle. In the video they say you have to speak to the weird caged monster before climbing into the cage on the guys back which isn't the case.
Just FYI you dont' need to first talk to the cage on the ground to 'pacify' the enemy that takes you down to the mound makers area before Greatwood. That enemy with the cage on its back is always passive, and you can skip talking to the 'cage of legs' as I call them, first. Just a tip.
i believe about the last secret, that yoel of londor does die much before aldrich though, something about killing the abyss watchers and then entering the catacombs of carthus before getting his 5 free levels will make him die (he will die either way after the 5 levels) but not getting the 5 levels before killing abyss watchers and entering catacombs of carthus will void his questline.
honestly as it says in the video the trees spot seems deliberate tbh and much like everyone else it was literally the first thing I tried when I saw it. From often has games with sequence breaking and this is just a short form of that. They hardly fix those. I think it entertains them to see people beat the game in 30 mins by being creative
So after the sulyvahn boss fight when you go out. In the far distance there is this mountain and there seems to be a castle or something like that, Could this the the Archdragon Peek?
Also in archdragon peak at the second bonfire (the one you're teleported to after killing the wyvern) there's another altar by where the summoner summons the greatsword wielding knight If you use the path of the dragon emote on the altar, you get a special ring It doubles the damage you take and nothing else Good for the trophy/achievable, but not much else, unless you want a ridiculous handicap for ng+
You don't need to talk to the cage. for #1 you can't kill the Abyss Watchers or Enter the Catacombs of Carthus without drawing out your strength 5 times. If you do, you will lose Yoel, the Yuria and Anri quests, and much more. Aldritch is far far far later in the game and going upon this video's information will cause an unlucky raisin to lose the ability to get the Usurpation ending.
That's wonderful, but that wasn't aimed at you. If you don't draw out your strength those 5 times, Yoel will die, you'll lose out on potentially 5 free levels, and Yuria will not appear. Killing the Abyss watchers and/or entering the catacombs *will* cause Yoel's death. Also, faggot is such a 2012 insult. You would think that better insults would have appeared by now~ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
+Derr Mann Well, you should change your first post maybe to something not missunderstandable. :P When I read it, it tells me "you can't kill the Abyss Watchers or Enter the Catacombs of Carthus without drawing out your strength 5 times" and that´s more than just wrong. ;)
Not sure if anyone mentioned this but on #9 I never talked to the cage of corpses but the cage guy was still friendly and i could climb in. I think it just has to be before the tree boss fight.
A Person, nope. You apparently have yet to get the silvercat ring and/or fall control. It was meant for you to drop down from the bridge above to get there and I do believe that you can get to the crows easily from an opening on the front side close to the ladder.
You can get to the crows on top of the roof where the nest is, you don't have to go inside. But if you buy the key to go up to the tower after High Lord Wolnir (I think) you will meet Patches the Unbreakable who locks you in in the tower, he also sells the Catarina armor which can help you progress Siegward's questline. Also Siegward and Patches are the only 2 that can save Greirat when you send him out on his second quest.
You'll miss out on some important/useful items if you only use the tree shortcut to get on the roof, and don't buy the key. You'll miss: 1. The Fire Keepers Soul 2. The Fire Keepers Armor Set 3. The Estus Ring
the tree was definitely intended. if you notice, the tree in the graves (copy firelink) is at a different angle so that you can not jump up to the spot. they wouldnt have made them different if there wasnt a certain intention behind it. also, for the ending, you cant use purging stones either. it doesnt matter whether you tell anri about horace or not in her questline either
"The game is packed with illusionary walls"
Don't forget doors that dont open from that side
Yeah dark souls is packed with me.
And contraptions that doesn't move until you've used it once on the other side.
bloodborne is better than dark souls 3
And also getting invaded 100% after walking out of the Pontiff fight
I just push those people off a cliff. They deserve it anyway.

He gave me a very dirty look to let me know how dumb I was, then rolled off the edge to prove his point. When he not only survived, but found himself standing on an invisible walkway, we both had a good laugh.
Okey, so the information in this video regarding the first covenant is wrong. You dont need to talk to the guy before going in the other guys cage. He is friendly as long as you havent killed the wood boss yet
Yeah, also killing NPC, that's being summoned right after the first bossfight in Archdragon Peak will reward you with their weapon also you'll be able to find Drakeblood armor where you found the gesture.
When you meet enemy that summons drakeblood knights second time - summoned knight will drop Ricards Rapier.
Defeating Havel, spawns his armor set where you fought Stray demon.
Jeez... DS3 is full of tricky seecrets :D
+Alex “Pillagius” S I haven't fought havel yet... where is he in this game?
+Sam Poncho archdragon peak, up a ladder, just after the huge bell.
+Sam Poncho to the right of where you go to the alter to get the dragons torso, climb up a ladder and he's standing next to a wyverns' corpse. beware he can kill in two hits.
J.K. Mallard lol thanks
Sam Poncho no problem.
Ayyyyyyy lmao what's up dude!? I always look forward to your uploads/videos!!!!!!
+connor hibbs Not much...just uploaded a video. What about you?
+gameranx holy shit you responded! Im a big fan of your channel and you just uploaded, and responded to me, so in that case I'm doing amazing!!!!!
+gameranx he seemed so chill until u responded, but he shit himself!
+connor hibbs AYYYYYY LMAO
+ImGGi “IMGGI” what?
If you think someone's "Try Jumping!" message is legit, then throw an "I'M SORRY" carving or similar over the edge to test it.
I do this because i never remember to carry prism stones... or turn auto-fill back on.
Hey guy from 2021 here, the tree jump at Firelink shrine still works.
you dont need to talk to the cage guy on number 10...
+Darin Pierce Who the hell cares. Get a new shtick.
Merk Intosh What? I was saying they added an unnecessary step lol what are you talking about
Darin P That shtick. That shtick is old. Shit died 10 years ago. Get a new one, startin to smell.
Darin P Nah, man, nah. Shit's terrible. Got no legs.
I got "the most secret ending in Dark Soul's 3" by accident:D
who cares
Joshua Castillo you do
Danil Polunin nah I don't play dark souls
Joshua Castillo You should
+Joshua Castillo You should
Where the fuck is Falcon ??
+omar kandil HE'S WATCHING.
+gameranx so I take it you're Falcon speaking?
+gameranx CAAAWWWWW
+gameranx
.........................You sleep
Don't wake up or he'll Falcon Punch you
SQUAAAAAAA
"will be summoned when someone is invaded" - been waiting since the game launched. Never once invaded someone but if i equip way of blue someone comes immediately lol. Farmed the silver nights with the covenant on and finished via farming without ever once being summoned.
S. Giesler knights*
For the smouldering lake, you can also find Quelanna's corpse with her pyromancy tome
Great list, usurpation of flames is such a cool ending. Much better than the others
Sounds like mitch from gamefront. Anyway, there is also two artorias easter eggs in the firelink shrine. Both are in the same spot but one is in the lit firelink and the other in the untened grave. The hub area one has a dog next to a grave with a small artorias sword perched upon the gravestone, reference to sif boss fight except way easier. The one in untented graves is the exact same except its as if you went to the opposite side and for those of you who played dark souls, what lies on the other side is the horbets ring which is also a reference to dark souls.
I want to know how the Firekeeper knows what gestures you are doing when she's blind...
You don't have to talk to the undead conglomerate to hop in the cage carrier's cage
+mand0rk you can even kill him if you want
I'm pretty new to the series, started with bloodborne which i haven't finished yet cause of school and exams and shit but i've watched playthroughs of the older games but man i didn't realise how in depth these games were, optional areas that you can completely miss, bosses in those areas, that invisible bridge stuff. I'm gonna have to get this game
start with DS1 and then DS2, you need to have played and felt what those games are like before playing DS3 to truly feel the impact of some of the stuff in DS3. but if you don't care about lore or easter eggs and just want new graphics, cool bosses and combat that sill has players to PvP with, then by all means go ahead and play DS3 first. but seriously dude, watching playthroughs of the other games just isn't enough, you gotta experience them for yourself.
+SparksFly2323 unfortunately i can't play DS1 cause i don't have a good enough pc and i don't have a ps3 anymore, but i've read about the lore to have some understanding of whats going on and how it's linked to DS3, seems like 1 is linked to 3 more than 2 is! I can play DS2 though so thats something at least
Hey thanks for this tips on secrets video. I am currently in the middle of recording Dark Souls 3, And I am now going to be using a couple of these secrets namely the early crow access and the mound covenant, I will make sure to add your video into the description of mine. cheers, Keep up the good work and PLAYAWAY
i dont have DS 3 but i stil watch it because of gameranx
+Raid same but i wanna get it
Michael garrett idem but i wanna wait the game of the year edition with all the dlc incuded
+Raid probably isn't gonna happen for quite some time man 😂 they've planned 3 DLCs and the first isn't even out yet while the second is scheduled to not be released until 2017!
***** What 2017? oh god
Another secret (glitch more than anything) is the swordsman glitch. First, kill the uchigitana wielder in Firelink. Thensummon the sword master for the Dancer/Champion fights. Let the swordmaster die, and exit the game. Continue the game, resummon him, and go back into those boss battles. The sword master will have no hit box and cannot be damaged by the bosses. The sword master can bleed both bosses down without you needing to do anything more than keep your distance from either boss. This also gets you into Londor early on for soem early game suicide runs to grab titinite chunks and other goodies, and the sunbro covenant alter near the Dragonslayer Armor boss.
Oh shit dude this is super helpful, does this still work?
Or you can git gud and beat the dancer normally
You can, though regardless of git gud or not, you can get to lothric castle and covetous king's garden super early and collect enough large/chunks to build a +9 weapon early in the game.
Mirage Gaocariomon I can beat her normally, I just wanted to get a +9 weapon early
the dancer is very easy so theres really no reason to have a godded phantom with you.
Need to get this game already.
+DeadlestSpartanGroup yeah probably. Get on it!
gameranx
I will as soon as I can.
+DeadlestSpartanGroup buy it, buy it NOW!!!
same here. But the money...
***** Yeah, those camera angles have cost me a life a time or two...
I was surprised that they mentioned Illusory walls but didn't mention the Untended Graves secret area of the game. Although it's not as hard to get to as the Archdragon Peak but still it's easy to miss. For the record if people are curious it's behind an illusory wall behind the chest you find after the Oceiros boss
There is also another secret area for those who don't know after oceiros there is a hidden wall past the emote and the chest at the end of the room. it leads to the dark firelink shrine. Also, if you return sometime after you visit Archdragon Peak, Where the emote was there will be another item that is the Drakeblood set
"Rosetta's fingers"
Wtsf xD
I knew all of these except for 7. and after watching the full video. I forgot what 7 was.
good vid !
But ... u don´t need fight against these crocodiles in same time . u can stay at the ladder and use a bow and hit the right crocodile ,than the monster come to u and u can fight against this first crocodile near the ladder and after that u can fight against the second one . greetings .
it was funny. i slaughtered the first one no problem. not a hit taken. the second one owned me like 3 times in a row. finally killed it and some chode invaded and insta killed drained me lol.
You can also stick hard to the left wall and Aggro the beast on the left. Run back to ladder area and you can fight him there without making the other beast aggro.
I was still entertained even though I never played Dark Souls. Good job!
i dont know if its required, but you forgot to mention to talk to yuria and she will mention how anri shows potential to be your "bride", its different dialogue than the being ready one, i also feel bad about discovering this quest. When i went hollow i was so confused and mad, i thought hollow wasnt a thing anymore, so i went to look up a way to reverse it, only to find out about yuria, now i didnt read the entire questline, i just read that there was an ending related to being hollow so i just stuck with it and managed to follow everything on my own with the exception of my confusion on what the darkmoon tomb was, i went to yorshkas bonfire and was like wut, so i had to look up which one it meant, oh and to confirm that touching the last bonfire did the correct ending and not kindled the fire
You don't have to talk with the cage guy...
You don't have to talk to the dude in the cage, you can just go straight to the guy with the cage on his back and he'll not be aggressive as long as you don't kill the boss of that area
Was just about to say this
A lot of secrets, hidden things and even some main elements of the game in the entire Dark Souls series are often hidden behind a giant metaphorical wall, and on that wall someone has scribed in blood "How the hell was I expected to figure that out?!"
+TotallyToonsTV Typical JRPG. Just something we've grown accustomed to.
Really well done mate.
watching this just made me go and start a new game in dark souls 3, praise the sun lads
None of these are easter eggs.
Most of these are not even secrets.
LightTheAbsol the ladder Smith is technically an Easter egg
This comment though. You’re right. Ladder guy and demon ruins are the only raster eggs.
Do you know what a secret is in a game? It's something that is hidden. How is the Mound Makers Covenant and Smoldering Lake not hidden content? How is the dead body in Profane Capital not an easter egg? I swear, Souls players can be the most pretentious bunch.
@@OneAndZer0 That ladder guy is the only one that surprised me. There is a trophy you achieve when you find all covenants because of that I don't consider them as "Secrets" an easter egg or secret should not give you trophy. At least that's what I think.
@@OneAndZer0 a secret is something hidden that is special and separate to the main content.. everything in this video is just questlines, items and areas that are part of the game you're meant to find normally... they aren't secrets.
You don't have to talk to the monster to pacify the guy with the cage
you don't get all the stuff
Actually, i think the most secret ending is [SPOILERS] when you give the dark eyes to the fire keeper and kill her after you summoned her in the end.
Yeah, I don't think many people expect to be able to interact with anything during a cutscene, let along one of dark souls' ones.
I dropped my controller and killed her so I didn't get a trophy fml
+ItzFizz Wow I didn't even consider killing her when I summoned her. Does that grant a unique cutscene?
+Sam Poncho The best one, yes.
+SwagSwag69 it will be the same trophy as the "linking the fire" trophy so nothing goes wrong.
tried all the 4 endings only 3 trophies did appear.
2.6K dislikes? It was an amazing video showing off probably the actual most top 10 secrets in the game.
A little add on to the anhri/yuria questline, once you've talked to anhri and told her about you killing horace, you can go back to the location he was killed in and you'll find him buried under a pile of stones with some flowers and his shield perched on top of it. :)
I broke into laughter when I found Gilligan.
You don't need to talk to the guys in the cage. You can go straight to the big guy.
You don't need to talk to the cage spider to pacify the big guy with the cage on his back.
top 1 - u also need to find firekeeper eyes and give them back to fire keeper ( also after defeating last boss u need to summon her instead of linking a fire)
top 3 - u can summon hawkwood to help u get dragon torso before u ring the bell
top 4 - archdragon peak also provide u havels armor ( if u killed real havel near dead wyvern) - armor will be on th corpse near stone demon ( old wolf farron bonfire)
top 8 - smouldering lake got secret shortcut ( u can destroy the ground with catapult so u can skin killing the worm) and we noticed ladderguy body BUT nothing about Quelaag's Sister? - there is her body with pyro tome
top ? - no catarina quest ?????
top ? - no greyrat quest ?????
top ? - no rosaria covenant and leonhard quest line with boss soul reward
well the video is great but it miss a lot of stuff and posted to late xD
the one thing new here - is a ladder guy corpse xD but many guys noticed that
+Maik Darkfall I noticed the ladder guy on my third play through... Everything else like you said is in the know....
When the corpse appears in front of Grand Archives look at him through the binoculars. The dude is actually blinking. Creepy.
For the number 1 secret you don't have to kill the guy in dark armor in shouldering lake. I didn't and I still got the ending
shouldering? lmao
+Frank Castle
Yeah, having to SHOULDER
all those questionable feels
+airanator1212 If you dont even go there,that doesnt affect much,its really affect the Anri's questline when you are healed the dark sigil,in that case,you can see her/his (always your character opposite gender) sign before aldricht,then you can help him to defeat him,he mention at the end of the fight Horace,who you killed,"Horace,we finally did it" after you port back to your world,talk to Ludleth at the shrine (the undead guy on the throne who exchange the boss weapons for their souls) and he give you anris straight sword.
+H4xooR I heard that If you went back to smoudering lake without being cursed after get the sword, you will be able to fight Anri at the place you killed Horance. There will be a tomb, and she will be fighting with a broken straight sword. I have'nt tried that yet though.
+Lin Justin Actually you can do it when you are cursed (i'm not sure about without being cursed). You will find Anri at that place if you told him/her about what happened to Horance. However, if you didn't tell him/her about him, you will find him/her near the crest shield loot (near the first bonfire at Cathedral of the Deep uphill). In both areas, he/she would be hostile, and he/she doesn't drop any loot.
You don't need to talk to the caged whateveritis to go into the cage and get down to Hodrick in the Pit of Hollows.
The boss fight in the Smoldering Lake is more in the beginning than in the end. Literally the whole area beyond the actual lake is only there if you want to disable the giant Ballista, and of course get a few sweet items including two pyromancy tomes.
The first free level from Yoel, you will get when you get back to FIrelink Shrine after sending him there. After that, you will need to die 2 times to get the next level, and 2 for each level up to 5 beyond that. You must also do this before the ABYSS WATCHERS, not Aldrich. Yoel will die when you enter the Catacombs of Carthus.
Anri is a woman or a man depending on your gender.
I feel like these are some of the things you should check up on before making videos about them, especially since the channel is so large.
+sampochw I stopped watching when he got the whole mound makers shit wrong. There is literally a step by step guide for it on the wiki that he obviously didn't read.
ive never talked to the caged guy and always been able to join the covenant no problem lol as long as you don't kill the greatwood and don't attack the guy with a cage on his back you're yood
Fabian Mercado jenkem?
How is that possible? you can't get down there unless you kill the greatwood or talk to the guy
DKS CAST I went up to the monster with the cage on his back and pressed X to climb in. I didn't speak to the weird cage monster guy with the plank shield right infront of him, he tells you some bizzarre riddle. In the video they say you have to speak to the weird caged monster before climbing into the cage on the guys back which isn't the case.
*****
Ahh okay by "Talking to the guy" I meant the guy with the cage on his back
DKS CAST oh gotcha yeah after re reading I kinda figured that's what you ment :P
Just FYI you dont' need to first talk to the cage on the ground to 'pacify' the enemy that takes you down to the mound makers area before Greatwood. That enemy with the cage on its back is always passive, and you can skip talking to the 'cage of legs' as I call them, first. Just a tip.
i believe about the last secret, that yoel of londor does die much before aldrich though, something about killing the abyss watchers and then entering the catacombs of carthus before getting his 5 free levels will make him die (he will die either way after the 5 levels) but not getting the 5 levels before killing abyss watchers and entering catacombs of carthus will void his questline.
With how many names he mispronounced it makes me think he was reading from a script, and that he's never played dark souls.
At 1:31 you don't need to talk to him at all.
Even in 2019 tree jump not patched
honestly as it says in the video the trees spot seems deliberate tbh and much like everyone else it was literally the first thing I tried when I saw it. From often has games with sequence breaking and this is just a short form of that. They hardly fix those. I think it entertains them to see people beat the game in 30 mins by being creative
2020 still not lol
2021 still not patched and never will be
almost 2022 and still not patched lmao
Thx for a great video, made me start on my dark souls 3, secund journey!
So after the sulyvahn boss fight when you go out. In the far distance there is this mountain and there seems to be a castle or something like that, Could this the the Archdragon Peek?
Crocodile monsters? That are wolves and they look exactly like Gats fury from Berserk
+cragethGER They're crocodogs.
And big Nopes
+Bram van Veenschoten i always thought of them as twisted rat crocodiles
+MrOwnsU nah, read Berserk, you'll understand, infact you'll understand and see way more easter eggs, Berserk was a huge influence on the soul series
PsychicWoodpecker is right, Artorias whole character is from Gats, the main char (for example)
*cough* Untended Graves *cough*
I unlocked the dark ending on my first time playing the game without any help(google youtube etc.). :D
Cool
same here haha
Also in archdragon peak at the second bonfire (the one you're teleported to after killing the wyvern) there's another altar by where the summoner summons the greatsword wielding knight
If you use the path of the dragon emote on the altar, you get a special ring
It doubles the damage you take and nothing else
Good for the trophy/achievable, but not much else, unless you want a ridiculous handicap for ng+
1:03 is a reference to the Egg Apostle beneath the Tower of Conviction from Berserk!
You don't need to talk to the cage.
for #1 you can't kill the Abyss Watchers or Enter the Catacombs of Carthus without drawing out your strength 5 times. If you do, you will lose Yoel, the Yuria and Anri quests, and much more. Aldritch is far far far later in the game and going upon this video's information will cause an unlucky raisin to lose the ability to get the Usurpation ending.
That's wonderful, but that wasn't aimed at you. If you don't draw out your strength those 5 times, Yoel will die, you'll lose out on potentially 5 free levels, and Yuria will not appear. Killing the Abyss watchers and/or entering the catacombs *will* cause Yoel's death.
Also, faggot is such a 2012 insult. You would think that better insults would have appeared by now~ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
+Arming Sword keep trying, you'll get there one day.
+Derr Mann Well, you should change your first post maybe to something not missunderstandable. :P When I read it, it tells me "you can't kill the Abyss Watchers or Enter the Catacombs of Carthus without drawing out your strength 5 times" and that´s more than just wrong. ;)
+Trouble Maker Fair enough.
"Cage bone spider thing" lol
We need a total shut down on Dark Souls 3 spoilers until we can fugure out what the hell is going on.
+Crouchy232323 explain?
Make Dark Souls 3 Great Again.
+Crouchy232323 figure what out lol
+Nino Latimer Its a Trump joke. There's a video of him constantly saying "WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON" over and over again
alex kovach Oh ok got it lol, idk why I didn't realize it
This was awesome! Thanks
Not sure if anyone mentioned this but on #9 I never talked to the cage of corpses but the cage guy was still friendly and i could climb in. I think it just has to be before the tree boss fight.
man... I spent 20,000 for that stupid key to now Find out I could've gotten up there by a tree
you can only get to the crows by using the tree
A Person oh OK good thank u it makes me feel better that it didn't go to waste.
A Person, nope. You apparently have yet to get the silvercat ring and/or fall control. It was meant for you to drop down from the bridge above to get there and I do believe that you can get to the crows easily from an opening on the front side close to the ladder.
ShinigamiH I know but you can jump from the tree and get to the crows
You can get to the crows on top of the roof where the nest is, you don't have to go inside. But if you buy the key to go up to the tower after High Lord Wolnir (I think) you will meet Patches the Unbreakable who locks you in in the tower, he also sells the Catarina armor which can help you progress Siegward's questline. Also Siegward and Patches are the only 2 that can save Greirat when you send him out on his second quest.
It bugs me a little how you mispronounce everything.
nope the jumping trick still works
Wow Mich is that you...from GameFront.
Didnt know you work for gameranx now : D
You'll miss out on some important/useful items if you only use the tree shortcut to get on the roof, and don't buy the key. You'll miss:
1. The Fire Keepers Soul
2. The Fire Keepers Armor Set
3. The Estus Ring
this is the most cancerous thumbnail on the darksouls side of youtube
rosetta
I got the Usurpation of Fire ending before I even realized I was going to get a special ending. Kappa.
the tree was definitely intended. if you notice, the tree in the graves (copy firelink) is at a different angle so that you can not jump up to the spot. they wouldnt have made them different if there wasnt a certain intention behind it. also, for the ending, you cant use purging stones either. it doesnt matter whether you tell anri about horace or not in her questline either
The game still has an Easter egg yet to be found
*a good miracle build*
