Elden Ring (PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S/One) is filled with various small tricks and moments you possibly didn’t even notice. Here are some things you can do and see that you may not’ve realized. Subscribe for more: ru-vid.com?su...
Fromsoft games are the only games where the "Things You Didn't Know" videos actually tell me something I didn't know, thanks gameranx! I should make you pizza sometime
I didn't know that. i like to carry a lot of stuff on me so i have the big jar for carry weight and the stat bosting tslidmsn also so I thought you were just able to run there lol
The Laws of Regression does not only work on the statue as mentioned in the video, it also reveals other hidden things - aka hidden walls AND the hidden walkways mentioned earlier in the video.
I explored a bit before I did stormveil, so I kept hearing about the two fingers. I thought it was some kind of metaphor. Like “the king’s hand” or something. Imagine my surprise when after I beat Godrick, I went back to the round table hold and found myself in front of two giant literal fingers. Sasuga, Fromsoft.
This was exactly my reaction on my first playthrough. Their description from the NPC's is purposefully vague, so I thought the two fingers were 2 leaders that held that title, when I saw they were literally two fingers I couldn't stop laughing, but also well played by the directors~
It took me 2 full runs and some other runs with total of 300+ hours playtime, to get the thing with "these are fingers because i play elden RING". Holy shit i felt like the most stupid person on this planet
@@Bonesaw_McGraw I really like Elden Ring and have about 70 hours in it so far, but I agree with you. Personally, I will always like Skyrim and Witcher 3 more because those are just more my type of game, but Elden Ring is still an amazing game that deserves all of the success it's getting
Tips for Scarlet Swamps: If you do have the Black Knife set ( given that you're at Haligtree already ) you can actually move like normal at swamps that would normally slow you down.
You can also backstep through swamps. It's slower than quickstep, but WAY faster than walking. The thing for Mohg's curse doesn't completely negate it, but it does HEAVILY reduce the damage and prevent it from staggering you.
@@Fezbot552 He applies the curse 3 times before he does his phase transition at roughly 50% HP, then detonates the curse during his phase transition. He doesn't reapply it again. The physick effect last like 3 minutes, so as long as you make him do the phase switch within 3 minutes of using it, you're good to go. You can also just hold onto it and use it AS SOON as you see him start the transition, as long as you get it in before the first detonation goes off it'll work.
Get the Bloodhound claws from Volcano Manner. The Bloodhound Step as of war is really useful, basically makes it so the entire dodge animation is s. Good for those big aoe attacks that are hard to directionally dodge if you're not positioned right and for getting through lava/swamp terrain quickly. Doesn't cost much more fp than normal quickstep either.
The Crystal Tear for Mohg was a nice surprise for me. I had no idea I ended up facing a major boss, and after two tries against him, I went for my tears and... I saw that red one. So I equipped it and tried again, actually expecting nothing to happen. I ended up beating him, amazed by the details of that potion (It's shown as a red sphere around you that cracks a little everytime Mohg says Nihil, until it breaks) . Everything was so random I just repeated to myself "This game is simply insane".
If you’re thinking about getting Elden Ring just do it . 40 hours in and I’m only 16% progressed. Been spending hella time just running around doing a bunch of different stuff since there’s so much to do. First souls game experience and hot damn. I’ll be playing it for so long and I have no complaints.
@@manueltalavera7877Get your head out of your ass. I’m at the cusp of 600 hours played still doing/discovering things. 6 different endings so far, countless tombs behind hidden walls/portals, higher difficulty playthough, etc. smfh
@@manueltalavera7877 Anyone reading this guy's comment, he's cappin out his ass. I'm fuckin 80 hours in and am only on the 3rd major boss (I think there's about 12 main bosses and 120 bosses in all) because I keep running into random shit to do.
This video reminds me why I’m bothered by spoilers less and less. Thanks for helping us catch what can be easily missed. 48% of this game’s fun is the community
I agree, I was worried about spoilers untill I started noticing I needed help just finding stuff to do in the game after I had beaten most of an area. Gotta get those runes BOI
For the Fringefolk Chariot, I tried to cover the way to get it relatively easily. Essentially when the chariot rams the wall you're standing on. You'll see the screen shake. As you see the screen shake, that's the visual cue to shoot an arrow to snap the wire holding the pot. I would recommend lining up the shot with a practice shot prior to attempting it so you don't mistime it or worse, waste a pot.
i really dont understand why that walla is like that, but i hit it for over an hr with a strength build and it still didnt disappear. its super pointless but i wanted to try. Note: Make sure to go further to the back of that tunnel and hit the REAL secret wall for a Summons ash
@@TheDennyBros it was probably meant to open after a certain event triggers. Normally, event walls like that have 9999 health and 9999 resistance, but this one has 0 resistance. Also, the easier way to break it is with the spinning wheel weapon.
The devs know that every single inch of their games are combed through for secrets by millions of people for years so they probably just made that wall as a troll. Wouldn't surprise me if there are more walls like that.
@@Karlach_ Yep. I have genuine, diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder, and i know fromsoft like to use illusory walls, so as i run through a dungeon I will hit every single tile of wall as i go just to make sure i haven't missed an illusory wall. Honestly, I'm really kind of pissed that there are walls you have to hit 50 times to break through because that is going to really fuck with my messed up brain. It's already taken me 150 hours to get to caelid/leyndell because of how i play. I might have to give in and just use a guide instead of my normal systematic OCD method for finding secrets because that's going to be really frustrating.
About the 50 hits wall, Zullie the Witch has an interesting in depth video about it. Basically, isn't meant to be a secret wall and is considered to have 9999 hp, not really needed to hit it 50 times. As to why it shouldn't be removed : it can potentially lure enemies in the sanctuary zone, meaning you'd have no way to fight back against them if this passage is open.
Thanks Gameranx, been following since I was a kid. Now I’m into my 2nd year at Uni! Thanks for keeping my study sessions a actual fun brain break and for being a voice in the backround when I was studying by myself
Regarding 3), there is also another crystal tear that you can use to neutralize mogh's curse. I forget where it's found exactly, but it basically negates all non-physical damage to you for a time and actually turns it into regained health instead. So when mogh does his power up, he still gets healed, but you can just beat him back down in the meantime with no repercussion :D Also very useful for spell-spamming bosses like Rennala or the Final Boss.
I think the point of reversing the frenzied flame is to get a good ending while also saving Melina. I feel like there has to be another ending to where you have to do this. I thought about possibly sparing Melina and also getting Ranni's Age of the Stars ending may give you an alternate ending to the Age of the Stars ending. I think this, because Ranni and Melina clearly have some connection to each other. I'm not entirely sure what it is, because I'm not one of those geniuses that understand a lot of the cryptic lore. However, it's pretty obvious that there is a connection. Also, there is a different version of the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending that is determined by whether Melina is used as kindling or you already adopted the frenzied flame and are abandoned by Melina. I have not tried it, because it seems like too much work for me.
I thought regression alone reveals secrets meant to backtrack to find a secret and I jumped of a ledge near it to get the bolt of gransax which was a legendary weapon. That message was why I looked around and I saw it lol. Crazy it serves 2 purposes
The fact that there is supposedly illusory walls in this game that take multiple hits to break, it makes me wonder if there are perhaps walls like this on older games that nobody has discovered because nobody thought to hit them more than once. Perhaps in Dark Souls One there's a secret illusory wall that has the secrets to unlock the Pendants power.
I'm quite sure there's not. Like stated before, they would really have been found. I think it's not a "bug" either. I'm absolutely sure the illusory walls are Fromsoftware devs coming up with one more thing to fuck with people's heads. They're evil people doing evil things lol
That radagon is Marika thing is tied to a super secret ending. It involves sunflower bro and the golden order dude from roundtable that sells early incantations.
@@stir7891 it's the goldface quest it's quite easy to miss the start of the quest he supposedly has dialogue in the roundtable telling you he's going on a journey but I didn't know about this quest until he disappeared and I googled it thinking it might be a bug. like all quests in this game the instructions are incredibly vague and a bit misleading
Come to think of it, most of the risen tarnished in the intro scene (with maybe the exception being the all knowing) has an ending tied to them . Dung boi, flower face , corpse ho, you get the jist
I know and understand that it is assumed that everyone has experienced pretty much all of this game by now, but that isn't necessarily the case. I've had this game since release, currently 170 hours in, and really taking my time to enjoy my first playthrough. That said, while over the years they're usually pretty good about it, this video should have came with a spoiler warning. At least towards the end of the video. Some big ones since points 2 and 1 reveal massive story and ending spoilers.
I was looking exactly to see if someone had pointed it out. Just got spoiled the statue secret. Pretty mad right now. Im gonna stop the video to avoid breaking my mouse. Love Falcon but I feel he dropped the ball on this one........
I don’t understand the point of complaining when you both came to a video about things you didn’t know about the game. If you don’t want spoilers don’t watch videos, and if you want to find out specific information search that up. But since you’re watching videos about Elden ring you should know that when you beat the game you can keep your stats and go through the game again, so taking your time to experience every little thing in one playthrough is meaningless because it’s impossible to get all the items in one play through and it’s impossible to play as every style in one go. Do whatever you want though, please just stop complaining about something you could’ve prevented
The wall boss health reminded me when in Destiny 2, season of the Almighty, a glitch caused the door to never open and stop a quest progression. People made the door have a health bar like a raid boss. It was funny
The button mashing to get out of grabs faster? All the buttons. Don't alternate two, smash all the buttons and triggers you can. It's based on the number of total button presses. Rapid fire controllers or AutoHotKey also benefit you here.
@@ergheiz1245 it's what's I said, go to any dungeon with a flame trap. Use mohgs shackle. It hits them from far away. I mean far too. Test it on any dungeon.
@@ergheiz1245 with the specific dungeon (I forget the name, but located at the eastern end of Altus plateau) that has the two chariots going back and forth past each other, they are destroyed by a shadow chariot that appears after a light touches it. the light is on a fire pillar trap that has to be struck to make it move up, and using either of the shackle items will send an AOE through the walls and hit the pillar.
Me: Asks Gameranx to ease up on the amount of Elden Ring videos. Perhaps show a little love to Horizon Forbidden West . Gameranx: Did you know you can stand there and hit a wall roughly fifty times and it will lead you to a room you have already accessed?
Miquella needle quest is probably related to the 7th ending that got removed from the game. It was the unification of the 3 fingers and the 2 fingers so we can assume that to unify the fingers you had to become one with frenzied flame first and then pacify the chaos with the order
An additional cool detail for the chariots in #7: I got myself pinned in a corner in the Mount Gelmir Heroes Grave last night (the one with lava) and desperately tried to jump on the chariot to avoid dying. I found out if you time it right, you can jump on the little platform on the chariots and ride them back up to the top! It's a little tricky to avoid getting hit, but you can indeed ride the chariots pretty reliably. *Edit: comments inform me that this is the only heroes grave this trick works on.
it only works on the chariot that has no statue riding it, only horses. BTW you can skip that part if you just go all the way down on the lava, on the left you'll find a "finger" axe, and on the left a slightly hidden fall that will put you right in front of the boss' gate.
I have a way to see invisible bridges sort of. This doesn’t work for the first invisible bridge at heretics rise because that is where the sorcery comes from but you can use founding rain of stars and the projectiles raining down won’t pass through the bridge so you can see where it is
For mogh, lord of blood, you can actually find mohgs shackle in the underground tunnels in leyndell capital. It does the same thing that Margit shackle does but for mogh
While in Lava in order to move faster through it you can also turn around with your back pointing towards the direction you want to go and simply spam dodge without using directional keys. This way you do a very quick backstep which completely ignored the slow from the terrain unlike dodge rolling. It's still beaten by Quickstep which literally anyone will have simply by using even the worst daggers in the game but if you're not feeling like equipping one due to lack of slots or perfectly calculated weight, it's a nice tip to know about & use.
Thank you.. Your videos have gotten me through some rough times because there so funny and intriguing and entertaining and it’s just an amazing channel. I lost my wife and daughter in a car accident last year, my daughter she was only 2. Keep making kick A$& videos! Thank you for all the entertainment and positivity you all show in everything.
The multi chariots in the auriza hero grace can be destroyed if you use mohg’s shackle in every room before leaving the archway that leaves to the double chariot road, log out from the game, log back in, and then inch your way out towards the road. The shackle triggers the fire trap if in a specific spot of the area and you don’t have to run through all the dungeons abuse minus the basilisk hell lol.
Found the secret walk path in the haligtree tunnel offline by attempting to make the jump to the hole in the wall. Didn't look like I quite made it buy was close enough to chalk it up to dumb luck, but then I saw one of the Vulgar Millita guys just walking on air. In retrospect it's not so well hidden that it takes dumb luck to find. That one hidden wall however, not so much.
Mohg also has a shackle you can find in the subterranean shunning grounds which stuns him for like 6 seconds. On top of that crystal tear it can make the fight so much easier.
at the end he mentions that there is only one clue about Miquella's needle but there are two including that one he shows in Millicent's questline the npc that is her technical guardian also mentions that Miquella's needle was crafted to repel outer gods.
Awesome game. Beat it twice. Once on PC and the second on PS5. Might try to platinum the PS5 version on NG+ and ++. I just can’t get myself to play anything else. Poor Horizon and GT7.
you can use Magrit's Shackle on Morgott (also there is a Mohg's shackle too) you can use AOE spells (like aoe heal or above mentioned shackle) to reveal invisible walls. also the #2 isn't a secret. it's just a part of a quest for the sunbro.
I actually destroyed the chariot in AURIZA HERO'S with Mohgs spear ability. After dying relentlessly to them, i was glad i could complete the rest of the place uninterrupted.
A bit of additional fun bit for #7: if u invest in vigor and vitality u can tank atleast 2 hits from the chariots....this can help if you are unable to run away un in time
You could also know why those old batwomen sing a lament in Latin, just watch Antonius Tertius' lore video about them and get shocked how detailed the lore of this game actually is!
Radagon’s secret is also connected to goldmask, so its not that much of a secret. Miquella’s needle can be used in the arena without killing Placidusax.
I haven’t even been to a lot of these places yet. I need to start playing this again. I got REALLY addicted to it and had to pull away for a bit but it’s time to step back in.
there are 3 of these hefty fake walls in volcano manor, and one of them gets you to Zorayas early and you can start her quest and unlock her door that you usually cant from the hallway without doing the whole quest line for the girl in the chair, pretty interesting
I didn't know about quite a few of these... I didn't even know about the 2 headed dragon dude... now I'm going to somehow find out that there's an underground area for Farum Azula.
Just love all the stuff you keep finding in the game and that you truly find your own style. Even with all the tips and warnings not to use the flail, double flail combo as dexterity class has been my absolute killing combo even in higher level areas XD I love that they even give you the chance to respec from ground up and do something completely else if you want. Gameranx, thanks for all the tips and quality content :)
@@slappzdebeiss273 NG+ baby :) But gotta say if you combine nightrider flail with regulair flair and give ash of war ‘gravitas keen’ to regular flail that you upgrade significantly, and ash of war sacred blade to nightrider flail, you’ve got a killer combo when using them combined. Jump attack L1 causes practically all bosses to get stunned after three quick jump attacks. Nightrider flail does major damage if you charge up the holy power. Gravitas is neat when you get surrounded. Go get em son :)
A fun tip for the invisible walkways, since the game does not allow you to fall off while attacking. Just swing that sword until you feel the edge of the invisible bridge, process of elimination on where you need to turn
you can fall off while attacking. that only works for leds that would led to the "bottom" of the world, but if there is terrain below you can still fall and die
@@pietroviske My friend told me this and for the most part it is true, there is a gray area situation (correct me if I’m wrong but hear me out). There is at least 4 kinds of falling from what I have experienced. There is no damage at all, then there’s the most common fall damage where you take like 20-30% of your HP, and then there’s a tiny window and I mean tiny where if you fall it does 50% of ur health bar, and finally the height that’s too high; no matter what even if you have the talisman for fall damage you lose 100% HP. The game saving you when swinging at the edge of a cliff or walkway should only work when the fall is going to be in that 100% HP fall distance. So yeah there are some pretty unfortunate situations where I’m at 50% HP, and the cliff looks like it’s too far too jump down so I keep swinging but I fall and die since it was in that gray area. I’ve tried swinging at the edge of some really high up spots in stormveil and there’s definitely a lot of those gray areas but it’s possible without an abyss
Can you still use that Ice Rind Hatchet (or whatever it's called)'s Ash of War to see the invisible paths? I saw that in a video, but am not far enough in the game to test it.
Saw the video on the side I said, I wonder what Falcon is saying. Did not expect to learn some of these things wow. That short cut in Farum Azule is next level lol.
I'm sure there's already a comment on it, but in Aruiza Hero's Grave, if you stand where he is at 4:54 and use to Margit's shackle item, you can circumvent this entire dungeon by destroying the chariots early. Normally you would have to go around and hit one of those imp fire traps to expose the light that causes the chariots to crash, but Margit's shackle has a large, invisible aoe that hits it through the wall. Because of this, you can also use the shackle to raise other fire traps or expose invisible walls in a wide area. Alternatively, you can use raptor of the mists to dodge through the chariots. You're welcome.
you can use the shackles to break one of the chariots too (do not remember which one). Also the secret of Radagon is useful to complete the gold mask quest which gives an ending.
Well they have promised lots of secrets ;) I really hope that eventually we will get a patch fixing fps, I have 5 more endings to do so it would be nice to get a stable gameplay. Referring to number 1 i manage to get 'Lord of Frenzied Flame' in my first playthrough it is worth mentioning that this ending cuts You off from all other endings!! ( unless You revers it - that's a new one for me ), I had 2 two other items that give me an option to restore Elden Ring but at the end there was only 'Lord of Frenzied Flame' ending for me and no other choice, Actually there is an NPC that tells You ' You are no good now' or something like that once You 'acquire' this ending.
Agreed I love how gameranx never comes off as a company that makes gaming videos because they are popular they come off as just a group of people that love video games that just happens to be a company unlike channels like ign where it feels like the people are only reviewing a game because it's popular
I’ve been looking for a reason to replay the game (first game of elden ring took 80 hours) So exciting to know that it might be possible to reverse the frenzied flame ending!
Yeah you definitely rushed the game. There's over 70 field bosses around the map, so many items to find and armor sets to obtain. Dunno why you wasted $70 just to breeze thru such an immersive and open world game
@@uhhhdiction4253 80 hours is hardly breezing thru the game, 30 hours is the average time to beat if you just mainline thru the main bosses and roll credits
@@uhhhdiction4253 Well, I planned to replay the game from the start and do different builds each time; my first playthrough was a strength build. So just because I beat the game once doesn't mean I'm done with it.
So regarding what i didn't know or overlooked. "Upgrading the shields will increase guard boost" learned it after 170 hrs and finishing the game. And to think i didn't know this in my entire ds3 playthrough. 😪
I love how this game doesn't hold your hand and you can miss shit so easy. Makes you want to keep playing to try and find everything. Wish more games did this.
with a colossal weapon build + mimic i had no idea MOhg had a second phase let a lone wings. I just face tanked and spammed and he died. I think i was only like level 100
@@weaver3636 There is no "supposed". You do whatever suits you. But he IS a late game boss after all. Not sure what the exact trigger is when you can use the medallion to get there (if you did the quest), but seeing as to how the actual portal to his place is located in a secret late game area that leads to the hardest area/boss in the game, I'd say he's pretty far down the list, especially if you solo him. I'd say if you've cleared Fire Giant, go for it.
You can aslo use mohg's shackle (subterranean shunning grounds) to stun him while he does the blood ritual attack. It only works 3 times i think but that should be plenty
Ah this gives a good time frame when you edited this video. The current WR is 18:58 now which is insane! Highly recommend you check out the run if you have the time.
I never really played the Souls series, I didn't understand what these games were. Just thought they were annoyingly difficult. Watched your review on Elden ring so I picked it up. I love it. thanks to your review I have a new appreciation for these games.
