6 Of ELDEN Ring's Secret/Hidden Locations You May Have Missed 

The cinqadea is actually the weapon malekith uses before he infuses it with destined death in his 2nd phase

Watching this makes me feel like a true adventurer. It took me 125 hours to finish my first playthrough cause I kept exploring. I found most these places cause my dumb ass was like, ooh shiney, what’s that.

It makes you think about what it took to make such a game. It’s really incredible.

After my first Radahn fight I immediately started searching for secrets cause it's just too big of an area to not to hide something.

I actually found most of these just by exploring a lot and being curious. I take my time alot with this type of games.

You missed a couple things at the Chapel of Anticipation (#5 in your video). Run back to the starting church and go through the door that was previously locked and you will get the Stormhawk King, which you need to give to Nepheli Loux to complete her quest (and get two ancient dragon smithing stones) as well as the stormhawk deeh ashes. Also, you can go to the maiden in that church to get the bloody cloth of a maiden for Varre's quest, which is much faster than going to Vyke's Church.

You can now skip invading 3 players for Vare’s quest by invading an ingame npc called magnus the beast claw in wirthblood ruins in Altus Platu. Bye bye invasion 😂🎉

You forgot about Auriza hero tomb, I discovered it after 220ish hours by mistake when I went to buy boiled crab from Blackguard (2 weapons, 2 armor set and one spirit ash is not bad)

You know what is worse? (launch Patch, by the way) I killed Radahn, after a lot of attempts, then i went on exploring the WHOLE ARENA, which is HUGE. And didnt find the secret dungeon. And when i finished the game, then i went online to see everything that i missed... When i saw that there is a dungeon in Radahn's arena, i flipped.

There are a bunch of secret areas in Farum Azula. They're hard to find because FA is difficult to traverse, so people give up on looking for them.

I am on NG 3.......I missed these all, motivated to get back at it. I took a break and beat bloodborne for the first time. Ready to get back to Elden Ring!

I'm at the 165 hour mark and just finished Nokron, Nocstella, Ansiel. Just got into Leyndell and Deeproot. And yesterday I FINALLY got the Tiche summons. I'm a battle mage build, but succumbed to learning to dance with the Tiche :). I've been rune farming A LOT.

Finally a Tarnished with proper drip

I am 20 hours in an only beat the first 2 mains and now I’m just exploring I can’t believe I used to hate souls games this is the game that made me love it

the war dead catacombs is actually great if you like just fighting a shit load of Knights/soldiers. Its fun too that theyre fighting eachother. theres a little rot in there, but its not that much of an issue.

For Varre's quest, you don't have to invade others. For those who don't like to play online there is a possibility to invade an NPC in the Writheblood Ruins in the NW of the Altus plateau. In the northeastern part of the ruins, Magnus the Beast Claw's invasion sign can be found. He can be defeated to progress White Mask Varré's questline without playing online. He drops the Great Stars great hammer. Now you can swing two of them if you like. 👍

I explored so much that I discovered all of this in my first playthrough

Bro you've played this many times the game, and still not used wiki? Respect that.

If you want to progress varre's questline offline/faster, you can just do the volcano manor lady questline which involves invades npc's world. You can just invade and lose 3 times and come back to varre to continue his questline. This will complete his quest and get to mogh before getting into Ariandel. But be careful, this will most likely gives you hard times in the mogh's palace or fighting mogh. Because you may still underlevel to get to there. Believe me, the mobs are tough. And Mogh might be kinda bs. It took me a LOT of tries and rune arcs and I'm still losing. But with a mimic tear it's not even 1 minute to beat him and he doesn't even have time to transition to phase 2.

#5 has more to it: Once you beat grafted scion to a pulp in vengeance-fueled rage, go explore the structure from which you started the playthrough. You can find a unique spirit ash (The Storm King's Ashes), which you hand in to our warrior mommy Nepheli to progress her quest.

True most people found these like I did. But I'm still glad to see you point these out for others. I thought I was super careful checking every nook for hidden swag but I almost finished my game without finding Jarburg and it blew my mind when someone told me about it.

2:18 the Riduvia blade got me through that putrid tree spirit. I also used the then nerf'd jelly fish to help in that fight

Playing BG3 for my first play-through. It's been the first game I've played since Elden Ring that I can't stop playing for hours on end!

very well done video, us small youtubers gotta put in the work frfr ❤️

I found most of this stuff on my first playthrough the only one i didnt was the dagger behind gurraq

War dead catacombs is awesome for leveling. You wait til the enemies fight , and before the last one falls, kill them. That enemy will continuously respawn right in front of you for ez backstabs racking up 1800-2300 runes per kill. Then when you get strong enough, you can run the whole dungeon for I’d say about 60k runes in a few mins. It’s more fun than baiting the bird . It will also give you a good bit of practice against Miquela’s knights

Hidden in plain sight is a staple of fromsoft games. I found dark souls years ago collecting dust at gamestop, took it home and was immediately hooked. Realizing that the levels overlaped and looped was awesome. At first it just looks like a linear games background that is untraversable, wrong. The restrictions are further away than you think.

There is also a drop near the hard tree sentinel in Caelid. There is a painting recover item there for a bow ash of war and an extremely hard laser firing golem

It’s important to get the storm hawk ash after killing the grafted scion at the chapel of anticipation so you can continue Nephilis quest

A little bouns for tip#4 when you go the the dragon commun church in limgrave not all if the dragon abilities will be there. You have to go to the dragon cathedral in calid if you want every single ability available to you

The likelihood that someone would find everything in this game on their own is slim. I explored every nook and cranny of the game, and out of the 145 - 175 hours it took me to do it on a new game, probably 25 percent of that was with a guide, be it for a cave, gaol, catacomb, shack location or where items that I wanted were. I don't play these games online, but I appreciate the community's efforts in mining everything. I like these games a lot, but it's crazy how quickly some people find these very elusive areas and items after launch which I don't believe I'd be able to do, like the wall that you can hit 50 times in Volcano Manor to open into a room, albeit one that leads to somewhere you've already been. I believe that that was patched though.

Usually these videos just show me things that I have gotten lol, but that castle loot surprised me

Honestly it’ll take 10 hours to explore 1 small area, you’ll find out more secrets if you just explore that’s all to this game

Im 700 hours in and still finding new items.

The only one I didn't know was the Bestial Sanctun one, thanks.

Crucible knights are fun to parry. They also like to stomp after your successful riposte. It's like they really pissed off at you.

First time here. Cool idea for a video and many things here are new to me. Thx man

Id also like to add that the area behind bestial sanctum was not there when the game 1st released, it was later added after the 1st major patch when they made minor changes to the hand drawn mao.

The Bloodborne reference "seek the old Blood" in the last title 👍

Awesome fight, the place is an awesome farming ground

I spent 130 hours in my first playthrough, 80 in my second, and 30 in my third and I was still finding stuff. I just started a NG and only just found the perfumers grotto.

I knew about War-Dead catacombs before I ever fought Rahdan. At least, I knew there was a dungeon somewhere around there because of the skeletal beacon up on the cliff overlooking the dunes. As soon as I beat him, I rode over and went inside. I quickly realized the mobs inside were about 8 times stronger than any other non-boss I’d fought up to that point. I found the others before finishing my first playthrough because I’ve made about 12 different characters and have yet to finish the game 🙄

I played 300+ hours got platinum I still found new stuff 🎉❤

I knew them all, I am the Elden Lord!

Only one of these I haven't seen was actually the first one. But I explored like crazy and found all of the others in my first playthrough. It's a great game and im sure there are plenty of things I didn't find

Alle Tipps sind sehr richtig! Great clip and well done! Thank you from Germany 😊

While I think your video may be helpful to some players, none of those areas are really difficult to find if you just explore the map, and do as many NPC quests as you can. I mean, I didn't have that hard of a time finding all of areas in your video. But it's nice you're pointing those things out to new players who may be unfamiliar with FROM Software's style of games --- those players are the ones that will benefit the most from this video.

Did you explore the area after the Grafted Scion? You still missed stuff in this area.

Boc slander? Woooooow taking it out on the little guy

I just watched this to confirm Ive been to it all

Thank you for the plain sight realizations lol i actually about a couple of these and i been playin since it first came out, i have over 230 hrs still on my first run through and still in the lymgrave/valcano area just bc im the type to find EVERYTHING and fight and kill EVERYTHING i need to along with leveling up all the way if need then proceed, i do wana beat the game but i also wana make sure all my areas are completely searched thoroughly and 💯 percent beat but thank you again for the info, i just now subscribed to you

6:35 How DARE you slander Boc in such a way!

I don’t think I’ll ever find something that I haven’t found already, maybe one video will show me something new but I’m waiting for dlc so I can explore EVERYTHING and obtain everything

Man you absolutely wreck those Crucible Knights

I didn't know until after 400+ hours you can go past the teleport seals on both ends of the bridge at raya lucaria academy. Cool stuff there if you haven't checked it out yet

In the cliff part if you follow the path with the birds and bombs and drop into the Church, talk to Rogier and go back up to the cliff you will see messages left by him, they're hints of what to do. There are various messages.

LMAO walking around as props had me dyin you’re hilarious bro

For the War Dead catacombs there is a statue up top that when light shows a blue line going to it. That's how I found it.

The birds in Stormveil can be handled fairly with the meteoric ore blade kitana

At Rampart Tower you can run out the door and go left and shimmy along the edge. Lots of fun things on the roofs

No Jarburgh? I think that is the most missable place in the lands between

One thing to note about Varre's quest is that you need only to invade other players, you don't need to beat them. If you're offline or don't want to invade other people, there is a red summon sign in Writheblood Ruins, kill this NPC to continue the quest.

Ive never understood why people fight radahn, just summon everyone and keep summoning them. Ive beaten radahn but i never hit him once and i stayed waaaaay away from him.

Great video

never played with daggers, what are these equipped and ash of war? like for super fast strikes

Found basically everything in first playthrough. The only things i didnt got on first playthrough were all weapon/armor drops the enemies could possibly drop. Ran at night over the entire map for Deathbirds, Black Knights and the Shop Hunters (dont play on english language, so i dont really know the right english names)

You should also do the area at the bottom of the coneyor belt in Raya Lucarua. if you ride down it there is a really cool area

Also, at mog's palace, it is a really easy way to get ancient dragon somber smithing stone +10!

Great video! I honestly had no idea about the area behind Guranq. I'll definitely be heading there now, lol. As for the little side path in stormveil castle, I was convinced that was going to lead back to the beginning area during my first playthrough. Then when I finally checked the last bellfrey (it just happened to be the last one I checked), I realized the answer was much more simple, lol.

hold on a sec, Raddahn? At 50?! No wonder invaders a killing people with 400 HP at Leyendell! How the fuck are you at 50 in Caelid?! Do yall really just horse straight to bosses?!

I’m still finding graces, ashes of war ,cookbooks ,talismans after 250 hours in the game

For Mogh's palace you can kill Magnus the beast claw in Altus plateau or die to him three times. You can progress Varrei's quest. Sorry about spelling errors.

What set do you have on?

I did not know about the radahn one 😮

The dragon communion spells do NOT show up as you kill more dragons. You can only get the original 3 here. There's also a third way to get to mohgwyn palace by killing Magnus the beastclaw.

That Varre quest took me 10 mins lol

you missed something in the #5 starter battle island. try to find a door which was previously closed.

What weapon are you using on the left?

I was fighting that big black thing at that beast sectum area and then I ran to this place 2:51 for my life while dodging I fell on the branch and waited till he left then out of shear curiosity I kept going down till I found a loot hahaha

6:03 this one is new to me

Deeproot deaths hidden wall entrance from Flame of prescription bonfire.

What about the area to the right and under fatty in Mt Gelmore (not the area with the Magma wyrm)? There is a Somber 5 and a very small ledge to drop to just beside it

no mention of the Limgrave Alabaster Lord that drops the Gravitas Ash of war ?

How do i boost the damage of my incantations and ashes of war????

Yea seen all these. Only one I didn't find right away was under beastile sanctum

It's incredible that you didn't mention the secret boss which is a dragon... I hope you know what I'm talking about... no spoiler that's all

There is a better farm spot in mohgs area. Its a glitch tho which some ppl have a problem with

Pretty neat how I organically found all of these EXCEPT THE FIRST ONE?? WHADDAYA MEAN THEY PUT A CATACOM INSIDE THE BOSS ARENA??

wow hasnt seen war dead cats until ng 3, you fly through the game huh?

The mage in the sewers was new to me

What build is this ??

I got the dragon crest tali but i know i didnt search behind that place so idk how i got it xD

I am doing 100% walkthrough, and use interactive map that will solve most of your problems

Farum azula the dragon with low health you fight has a secret passage behind him

I was NG5 before I found Jarburg

You missed an enemy at the end of the path as well

Found all of these on my first playthrough what 2 years ago or however long its been now lol. Was hoping someone a dually found secret locations not widely known places already with a click bate title

in my like 600 hours of Elden Ring I think I've been to the Belfreys once and up until now I didn't know what they did lmao.

6/4😎

I knew them all and I'm sad :(
