8 NEW Awesome Secrets in Elden Ring! 

Alright whats goin on guys? 💯💯💯🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣

Here's a secret I found that I think literally no one has pointed out yet. The corpse in the Mirage Rise is the unseen NPC Fevor. His cookbooks make all the sleep craftables, and it states he "entered an endless sleep to pursue St. Tina. The corpse has a slumbering egg on it, is hidden in a illusionary tower (perfect for disappearing from reality inside) and there are a few Miquella and St. Tina Lillies. I think that corpse is Fevor.

Greyoll is a girl. "Mother of All Dragons". Come on man I thought you were a lorehead!

I came across a lore video today explaining how Gransax (the Dragon in Leyndell) isn't actually dead, but somehow frozen in time. If you notice all of the dead dragons around the lands, they have obviously dead stances, whereas Gransax seems to have been frozen in time mid battle with his head looking upwards (so obviously not dead). Hoping the DLC may somehow clear this up.

I was there to watch Skumnut become the only person in History to get killed to Greyroll the dragon. We were shocked

Hmm, I think there's a pretty profound lore implication in the Heart Rot thing - the Haligtree didn't ultimately grow and fulfil Miquella's plan because Malenia is there, causing it to rot from inside. He's trying to save her, she's trying to save him, together they're inadvertently ensuring things don't work out the way they want. Inverse Gift of the Magi or something.

Ah Man ! This dragon ball's teleportation sound killed me. Thanks Toryama for the happy memories, RIP and thanks Ziostorm for bringing back good memories with one sound.

I just finished a run to have an NG cycle save for the DLC and I've been thinking: We are contemplating whether or not still having Melina makes a difference in the DLC. But seeing how the DLC revolves around Miquella, is it possible that completing the DLC before fighting Malenia makes some difference in that boss fight, like with Sif in DS1? Or maybe the other way around, having Malenia dead or alive might make a difference in the DLC?

"Ah, I wonder what Zio has for us today" *Footage of deer riding* D A M N

In my opinion, the unfinished island at 3:28 was probably going to be a four belfies teleport teaser, however they went with the more simple finished one we got in game instead. I imagine it was planned to have a mini boss like the other belfies (the crucible knight and the grafted spider thing) but they were just short on time so cut it and we got the one little floating ruin with the beast men. Would explain the lack of access to the cut island too

I'm very happy to see my notes about the Red Wolves passed along. Hopefully we'll get a backstory for them soon I've always been curious were they really come from, and why they are completely absent from the written lore Learning even the smallest bit about them feels like it could reveal a lot about either the Shadowbound beasts or Radagon himself

I replayed that "Alright what's going on guys?" 4 times.

"She she she she she she she she she she she" -me the entire time you were talking about Greyoll the Mother of dragons

Why has no one mentioned this from the trailer. The trailer had a dude thrkqing knives as a shadowy foe. This shadow affect in is hero graves where you need the light of Erdtree sigil to counter. While shadowed, foes are 100% immune to dmg The idea for the new lvl system i dlc is we need to imbue our weapons with erdtree light to harm dlc foes. Not even black flame/ destined death will hurt them in base game, the daggers do hurt them in trailer.

“that I guarantee you probably did not know” 68% of the time it works every time.

Isn't there a line in the trailer that says something along the lines of Miquella "uses love to shrive clean the hearts of men; There is nothing more terrifying"? This reminds me of the sacrament of confession in Catholicism where you confess your sins to a priest and he gives you a penance of prayer to complete. You might be on to something with relation to Miquella / Messmer being tied to confessors somehow.

shout out to skumnut. best challenge elden ring player ever. the climb never disappoints.

A thing to add to 11:55 is that the tagline for Shadow of the Erdtree is *’Fall from Grace’* (As per Bandai website)

Wow with those Nox shields! Im genuinely amazed that something i didn't know was found

Man, the Nox Flowing Hammer turning into a Shield is fantastic. What a shame they didn't give that to us. Could even have the same parameters, when we get to low health, it turns into dual shields. Could have created some interesting low health build instead of the meta of perpetual full health.

Concealing Veil: Used by the Black Knife Assassins Black Knife Assassin Chestplate: Literally what the Assassins wear Marika should have had that knight in her payroll if it meant he could have diverted one of the catalysts of the entire game's story.

There are 3 wolves of Radagon we can find so it would make sense that they are the ones on the statue. There’s the main boss fight wolf, the wolf behind carion manor, and the last one is underground. Correct me if I’m wrong but they’re all the ones I can recall

The Banished Knight is ridiculous. I have tried to do the cliff skip in to Sol once. He teleported up and knocked my ass off for a gravity death. Farming him for the unique armor set is easy though with the teleport to his own death trick.

The day one of Zio's videos starts by anything other than "alright what's goin' on guys?" There will be riots.

The dragon getting up reminds me the dragon ass that you could get to stand up in Dark Souls 1 in the painted world with a jumping attack

That concept art at 3:33 kinda look like Shadow of the Erdtree trailer where an NPC character that look like Roderika casting the butterfly spell in that area.

Greyoll was already known, I think it was Zullie that showed off her animations, but that one problem was that greyoll constantly made the game crash. Additionally, though there's no absolute either way, I think most people call greyoll her instead of him, on account of various descriptions stating that greyoll made a nest after surviving the scarlet rot

These videos keep me alive until the dlc

That Red Wolf of Radagon statue connection is so cool! 😍 I'm so excited to check that out and see if there's DLC connections

"I guarantee that you probably did not know" he's certain that he's not certain 😂

5:20 THATS MY CHALLENGE RUNNER STAY CLIMBING KING

I have learned to PARRY that Banished Knight. When he is charging at you, his first sword swing is well-telegraphed, making it an easy and consistent target for parrying.

The unused island in Farum Azula looks like it was supposed to be infected with The Scarlet Rot. I think the developers wanted to have some small presence of The Scarlet Rot there (maybe even with an infected high dragon as a boss), since it can be discovered pretty much in the majority of the map.

Greyoll waking up also happened to me and my buddy about a year ago. We played together with seemless coop and randomizer, so I assume it doesn't nessesary have to do something with the game speed. I remember us beeing absolutely stunned when it happened lol Edit: i believe skumnut had to downpatch his version for the 500% speed run. So I guess it was only possible in the version back then.

This is the first one of these videos in a long time in which the facts within were actually really cool to learn. Awesome.

Ziocord deserves its own video

I hope we get spiked bucklers as fist weapons in the dlc

The Nox shield weapon is sick because it’s literally just a trick weapon, now I have more slight hope they’ll be adding trick weapons into the DLC as one of the new 8 weapon types!

If I read correctly the wiki there are three magic sword caster red wolves of Radagon (and several non magic sword caster ones): two boss versions and a field enemy version. I find it intriguing with the fact that there are three wolves on the statue.. 😮

The Red Wolf of Radagon in the underground makes a bit more sense now due to the connection with the wolves in Farum Azula and that statue having to be Marika/Radagon. Probably a Messmer connection as well.

The only contention I have is referring to Greyoll as male. She's the mother of all dragons lol

0:03 Frieren Easter Egg unlocked 🤩

God bless you Ziostorm

You can actually play fetch with the disk of light encant and the red wolf down past the mimic tear in Nokstella

8:15 You sure 'bout that? It's a drop from the shade in Gelmir Hero's grave

Zio, maybe you can look into this. I seem to remember early Elden, there was talk of reduced Magic or Holy damage in Volcano Manor. I cant find any sources anymore.

Something new I found literally this past week was the golden great arrows have a buff for friendlies and yourself if you shoot it at your feet

the second one, the hammer turns into a dual shield, i think the one Nox knight in the underground also does that, in the area before the rot lake, he's on the right side of the first and only grace

The island in Farum Azula was probably going to be the area you would fight Maleania, it has the same ecstatic as the bottom of the Halig Tree.

Aggro the knight from the edge of the wall and then turn your character 180 degrees. The knight teleports behind you but since you're on the edge of the wall with your back to the ledge, he falls to his death.

Woah - the art for Farum Garden Island has Finger Reader Crone in it too! That would be new...

The trees on the garden island of Farum Azula are half white, which reminds me of how Miquella turns the shadow tree white/gray in the trailer

I have been able to take out the duel-swordsman banished knight easily with the Bolt of Gransax ash of war and the right combo of talismans and physick. It takes two hits, but the first surprise hit knocks him down, and the second finishes him off while he is trying to recover. That's how I farmed him for banished knight gear.

I saw that skumnut stream live and I freaked the F*** out. My guess is greyoll is just an enlarged dragon and kept in place by the environment but the speed increase dislodged her

Confessor gloves also have matching visual elements to the drake knight armor, and by extension Messmer’s design too

The cut island … is interesting. It seems like there is a dungeon entrance but also the trees seem to be two different colors split vertically! Miquella and Malenia? Radagon, Marika?

6:57 the girl being Marika would make more sense than you spoke of, because not only the wolves but also the fact that Maliketh is Marika’s beast that she got when she became an empyrian

I think I cast that spell that makes you half invisible before engaging the Knight and it work great.

I hope Zullie the Witch covers the Greyoll thing. I'm curious to know more about whats going on there on a technical level. I assume Greyoll's animation speed is set to a fraction of the normal speed.

the dragon pretending to be disabled was funny af, i get it tho its easier to park

That cut Farum Azuela island looks like the kind of spot that would be accessible from somewhere else in the map, as a place to see an as of yet unreached area

Your videos are every single time really intresting, i love them thank you bro

Why do I love that conflicting sentence so much. "That I GUARENTEE you PROBABLY do not know😅" 80 percent of the time it works every time

YES! YES! I'm not the only one that has saw that! That guard on Messmer's Spear looks almost JUST like the symbol on the Confessor's Hood and Cloaks, ALSO, on the Crespus Crossbows! I have a theory that Messmer was the first Leader of the Confessor's, who could have been tasked by his mother, Marika, to stamp out ANY remaining opposition to the Golden Order/Erdtree, and to make sure those OUTSIDE THE LAND'S BETWEEN, who worshipped the Two Fingers, stayed true to their teachings! And when someone DIDN'T, or, became a threat to the Golden Order/Greater Will, Messmer would send out The Confessor's to "deal with" the problem! OH, Messmer could have created The Confessor's himself, after the establishment of the Golden Order, forgot to put that one in earlier, lol! I was just SO excited that I'm not the only one that has saw that symbol on Messmer's Spear, the way it looks in promo art especially, is almost EXACT to the one on the hoods/cloaks of the Confessor's, also their Crespus Crossbows! HOLY S%#@! This could be HUGE! MAJOR tin-foil hat theory coming, but, could have Marika sent Messmer to the Land of Shadows on purpose, to crush as much as possible, any opposition to the Golden Order/Erdtree, outside the Land's Between, instead of the theory that he was banished there for blasphemy or some other reason, just a rambly thought at the end. I have another theory that Messmer was/or still IS a Empyrean, since he's on the same level as Miquella, Malenia, Ranni, and the Gloam-Eyed Queen! It's all but confirmed at this point, Messmer was on the Council at Leyndell, since we all know he has his own throne like the other's, and there's a big gap in them when Morgott was naming them, Morgott KNEW him, and is now either made or has forgotten him/or thinks he's dead, since it's been so long! Those Council Meetings with Messmer, just HAD to be a real hoot, lol! I know this next part is REALLY far-fetched, but, since Miquella reportibly shed himself of his Grace, his lineage, and everything Golden, and Messmer "supposibly" wants to kill ALL Tarnished, could he fight WITH us against Miquella, like, that could be another reason we could ally with him! In my head, this is how this dialogue could go, Messmer:' Miquella is NOT what you think he is!' 'But, I can see you already have your suspicions!' I just think it would be SO badass, if us, The Tarnished, and Messmer, can fight TOGETHER, against Miquella (which I think will be the case)! I just KNOW, Miquella is going to pull something, and we'll have a choice to make, depending on our actions with/against Messmer! Sorry this went all over the place, but, it's just how my brain works, lol!

10:12 So what your saying is, there may be no graces to rest at in the Land of Shadow. If you die, you die 0: what if there’s a cutscene that shows you the aftermath of “Destined Death” since we pretty much reactivated it

One thing I did notice about the statue with the wolves, is that there are exactly 3 red wolves in Eden Ring. One is the boss in Raya Lucaria. Another is next to the Cemetery behind Caria Manor, and the final one is on the moonlight alter

As for the cemetery shades, when they elongate the blades, their arms also gain an extra wrist if you slow it down enough, they have arachnid like arms (multiple elbows)

One thing I haven't seen people talk about is miquellas needle, it seems to be upgradable a 3rd time

Some enemies have a aggro trigger event, probably the reason why this banished knight aggroes, its very common on ambushes. The greyoll moveset was found a while ago, but it was not possible to be used in the game, funny that increasing the enemies speed broke that restriction. Skum can say prodly that he was the first player to die to "vanilla" greyoll lol I've actually saw that nox monk shield on my first playtrough, I get to this boss very early and it was a tough fight.

That first glitch with mimic item and black knife set can be replicated using the Crepus’s Vial talisman. It’s kinda fun walking up to other players and doing it.

For the greyold dragon. If i had to guess From put in a laying down animation to keep the standard dragon moveset from activating. Since all enemies are 500x faster that animation was able to finish.

Did a great job with this one bud. There's some good new info in this one

I think the flower island possibly could’ve been where we originally were supposed to fight Maliketh. If you think about it,it would be fitting,for the one guarding the rune of death to be in an area full of life(plants)

Just Imagine an Elden Ring TV series where the last episode shows the tarnished laying on the ground and melina on the horse like for the Intro of the game

nice Frieren cosplay there, my character looks exactly the same lol

The cut Farum Azula island sorta looks like a piece of Caelid

It occurred to me that more than half of the players on ps5 never even beat Queen Rennalla. Slightly less than that never even beat Godrick. I'm ng+20 and still find things that are new to me.

You can cheese the knight of castle sol if needed. If you trigger him from the balcony (like in the vid) immediately turn around. He will spawn behind you as always but in air and fall down to the floor.

Dunno if it's been changed since i last played a caster, but those spells are not silent. They just can't be dodged by the PVE enemies. normal spells are actually more stealthy.

God damn, still finding new stuff after all this time. Im glad there are other people out there that love this game as much as I do

No matter how much I play Elden Ring, it still holds so much mystery. That’s why I absolutely love the game!

Bro violated that deer

Skumnut mentioned!!!

Check out velkas rapier from dark souls 1. I’m pretty sure that’s where they got the inspiration for mesmers weapon. Also the npc that wields the rapier is a type of “confessor” I’m starting to see a connection between the painted world and the “shadow realm” in the dlc. For sure there are more connections to be found.

Thanks again for dope new stuff

Being serious this time, that confessor symbol looks super familiar, like I’ve seen it elsewhere in game. I can’t jump on right now to check, but i want to say it is similar to the knot tied to Okina’s Armor, specifically the chestpiece. It’s on his back; can’t recall if it’s on the regular samurai set as well. It’s also from somewhere else, I can picture the symbol but can’t place it (maybe a wall relief or something?) but I’m pretty sure it’s linked to an older area, like the ancient dynastic ruins. Which, if this symbol is indeed originally from one of the older civilizations of the lands between, would establish a link and potentially even a timeline connecting Messmer, or at least his spear, to the wider lands between

Easiest way to get rid of that banished knight is to use wrath of gold or nobles presence to knock him out of the castle to his death

Oleg, the banished knight kicks ass

ER having already 2yrs released and still finding new stuff is not unexpected considering the size of the game. Heck even the DS series and bloodborne had stuff being find in them years after release

the cemetery shade weapons can be acquired by the player although its not a dedicated drop and at First look its a small weapon but heavy attacks can extend the blade. i honestly got really lucky because i got it on the first kill in a heros grave or something. and its called mantis blade. i dont remember which area it was but theres a shade in the crypt and killing it can drop it

You can snipe that banished knight from the cliff way outside the caste with a great bow and he will teleport to you still it's crazy

So apparently there's 6 Red Wolves in the game. 3 with swords and 3 without. Maybe 3 were for Radagon and 3 were for Marika. I don't know. I always assumed the wolves in the statue were Empyrean shadows but it's interesting that the numbers line up.

I get the same visibility glitch with the Mimic Veil while wearing either the Raptor's Feathers or the Briar Leggings. I don't know which one is doing it. Thought it was disqualifying the Mimic Veil because it doesn't seem to work on anything in this state.

If you look closely, there's a tibia mariner in that concept art of the area from Farum Azula

Nox Monks be getting what's basically a trick weapon/transforming weapon before the player does. I wonder if one of the new weapon categories in shadow of the erdtree could be transforming weapons.

1. Interesting interactions 2. Doesn't lead anywhere and means nothing so far but you can even see the area on the map and on the sky 3. THIS IS A REAL SECRET I NEVER HEARD OF OR SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT IT 4. Very interesting incident, I believe Zullie had restored Greyoll's animations some time ago 5. It could be but there are more than 3 Red Wolves 6. No, this doesnt make any sense at all. It's a mantis claw not a crab claw, it looks nothing like a crab claw and doesnt work the same way 7. real life reference not a secret 8. Messmer symbol does not look like the confessor symbol or anything in the base game at all and so far there is no conection between Messmer and the confessors

Frieren's literally doing every side quest out there 💯

Melina’s “birth” at the foot of the Erdtree does not necessarily imply birth in the physical sense! It could imply the “birth” of her purpose or this persona as we know it given to her by Marika! Memory is fickle in Elden ring and if Melina is Numen by race and physically born in the realm of shadow my theory is that the gloam eyed queen (Melina) may have been the lord in the previous age who had her memory wiped and purpose twisted by Marika.

Just sayin, messmer's bracelets look like godskin bracelets, he has the original black flame, has a spear that looks like mohg's and has alot of snake/dragon stuff... He's gonna ise everything imaginable 😅 Also, do you guys think the DLC is in the badlands? I think so!

Speaking of the DLC... IDK IF Anyone Noticed, that The Tree in the DLC... When you Look at the Sky Above It Kind a Looks Like There are 2 Eye Sockets... Like We See Picture of a Skull (Or Skull Face)... Still The Tree and Sky at one Place Make 2 Eye Sockets. Just a Share.
