Also putting sleep pots on your quickslots so your mimic throws them is a severely underrated cheese

i am not even exaggerating that calid bell Bering hunter was harder than most of the bosses in this game

1 thing I haven’t seen any video mention is to place map markers on sites of grace before you start new game +. Place markers on grace sites that aren’t as easy to spot on the open world map. The sites of grace disappear but the markers will still be there in new game +. You get 100 of them so use them all it’s very helpful.

For farming Albinaurics, focus on faith (get at least 80, but 89 is better) because the AoW deals only holy damage. Theres a mechanic where you get 20% more runes for an Overkill or doing 1.5 damage to an enemy. Equip golden scarab, Alexander Shard, holy scorpion and ritual sword talisman to boost damage. Dring a flask with holy and faith tears in it to boost even more damage. That way you get an extra 20% runes for free.

Psa the hidden cerulean tear is useful for almost all builds that use non mimic spirit ashes. Put it in flask, use flask right before casting buffs and your spirit ash won't cost fp. This way you can use the high cost summons like dung eater or tiche without bottoming out your fp. This also lets you summon spirit ashes whose cost is higher than your max fp.

pro tip with the rune farm, unleash wave of gold then open the map and teleport back to the site of grace. Even if you don't wait for all the enemies to properly die and you don't wait to absorb their runes, you still gain them and you shave a good 4-6 seconds off each farm. I did this to leisurely farm 20 million rune while listening to podcasts.

These videos, easily make my work day better. Seeing that its 28 min long, makes it that much better.

I would have listened to the full length one multiple times, and I’m on ng+5, you are great at narration and a pleasure to watch take a run through the lands between

Before I started NG+ I realized how many things I have been missing even when I thought I went through everything thoroughly 😆 was such a hassle to get everything together. Appreciate that you did a video on this now :)

Thanks Dom For everything you do for the community ♥️

Thanks! Getting ready for my first NG+ and like all your guides this is great. Appreciate all your hard work Sir Dom!

One thing about the mausoleums you missed, there’s one in the deep root depths down from the boss arena

Perfect timing! Just wrapping up my LONG first run thru of elden ring and had it on my mind to find a guide for final planning before NG+… you’re the best Dom! Love your channel.

A note on mausoleums: If you are planning on doing a New Game plus but without focusing on downing every single boss again, consider prioritizing late game rememberances to dupe in mausoleums so you have both rewards very early in the game. It makes no sense to duplicate things like Rennala or Godfrey since they are easy to access and beat down. Malenia, on the other hand...

Thank you for all the work you put into your videos. I love everything you put out. And I would have loved a several hours long version of this video!

Ranni's Questline is great to farm larval tears. You encounter lots of those huge rolling steel ball enemies later in the quest and they each drop a larval tear.

I am about to start Journey 4 on my second character and I am still watching this because it's very well done and informative ! Thanks

GG man! It's amazing at almost 800hrs and multiple play throughs that I still learn new things. Love this game can't wait for dlc

Love a longer video from Dom! I’m just about ready for journey 2 so this will be very helpful

One quick PSA to add to this video for casters. Even if you are not sure you want to use a certain faction of magic, get all of the seals and staffs that boost magic of some type. You will only be able to get one of each of those per playthough, but they stack multiplicatively with each other if you are holding two of them at once. The only two boosting staffs/seals that you can get multiple of in a single playthrough are the Gelmir Glintstone Staff and the Staff of the Guilty. All others, are once per playthough, and you should get them all just in case. Some builds benefit massively from having two of the same staff or seal boost.

new Knight here. Just wanted to say thanks, your content is fantastic. Really appreciate the amount of work you do for it. Finally joining your YT nerd herd.

We appreciate your time and energy !! This video is gold. I Love to play this game but sometimes it gets really overwhelming so videos like these are always helpful !!

You can't imagine how your vids helped me, you deserve even more views/subs/etc... the way you talk / organise your vids is just on point

Masterfully organized! Thanks so much!

3:20 "as a reward for beating the final boss" lol spilled my coffee

Hey man I just wanted to say you are greatly appreciated. Saved me many hours and given me genuine entertainment I haven't felt that in years. so I just wanted to say thank you hope you have a wonderful year ahead

Thanks Dom! This will help when I finish my current run. I haven't done a NG+ playthrough yet.

Outstanding video Dom, thankfully I did all of these with research to make sure I got eventually before NG+ but great effort and congrats on the 100k 👍

25:44 I swear for a second I thought you were ganna say “Rivers of Blood” was the final most important thing to get before NG+ because you were showing gameplay of it 😂

Have to say you do the best elden ring content on YT.. always super easy to follow and always have a video to help when I need it... keep up the great work 👌✌️

I ended up platinuming the game. An OUTSTANDING game!!

Wish I had remembered to respec before starting a new game +. Now I have to get through the Academy again to do it...

Since in Newgame+ you don't start with any runes, make sure you spend all your runes before you start over. One important trick is to buy hundreds of smithing stones, because they will cross over into New Game Plus and you can then sell them for decent money to shopkeepers. A good way to bring runes into your next playthrough, and also a good way to not lose all your runes on death. You don't get as much back for selling them as they cost, but sometimes a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I have a useful tip for using sacred relic sword. Instead of spending 2 precious larval tears, you can reach weapon requirements using the tears of flask and other items like talismans. In example even an astrologer class that has low on all 3 weapon attribute requirements may reach them.

Talismans. There are several that could be missed on accident such as an area being too difficult when you first go there but becomes easy enough and you just dont go because you forgot about it. Try to avoid forgetting places to potentially loot if possible. There are a good chunk of talismans along the main questline but there are also several as rewards for defeating enemies or unlocking areas behind imp statues as well. Another is memory stones if you are going to be a sorcerer or prophet type builds. Almost all, if not literally all, are found at the tops of the Rise's across the map. There are more Rise's than there are memory stones to collect so if you get a spell or something else that does not mean you have maxed your memory stone capacity. Besides that, awesome video!

Super awesome prep guide, thank you! There are 7 mausoleums, one is underground in Deeproot Depths. You mention buying all the Rune Arcs from merchants (good call) but don't mentioned they can be farmed outside of pvp, my fave place is EarthBore Cave - just kill the rats and they drop Rune Arcs.

3 of those magic scrolls you need to give to Sellen if you want to continue her quest line, don't give them to the turtle! You should of mention that.

I’ve been looking for a video like this, and it’s super thorough and helpful. However, it misses something important; cracked pots, ritual pots, and perfume jars. These are all easily missed, but very useful.

7:18 you say you get an ancient dragon smithing stone for “completing jerren and sellen’s quest line” but that quest line actually has two ending, and you only get the stone if you side with jerren.

28 minute video but you didn't answer one of the most important questions: do bellbearings carry over to NG+ or not ?

Fantastic as always!

Absolute 10/10 video, the effort was much appreciated

Grrrreat Video Dom, as always. Enjoy endlessly. Started Journey 5 yesterday and got nearly evrything possible (gear/weapon). Last week I collected last missing ashes of war. Maybe doing that could be helpfull to others.

I use this video as a checklist as I finish the game

Jar cannon allows you to consistently farm both birds at the bird farm. Also an albinuric can be one shot off the cliff edge.

You can farm rune arcs from rats. There's a group in Nokron north of the Ancestral Woods site of grace on a cliff being serenaded serenaded by two shaman. The drop rate is abysmal but they do drop

The second journey is probably the best run you will have in Elden Ring. The first will be awkward and that is where you will get most of the weapons, skills, and spells but can't really use them in most of the playthrough. The second is where you are strong enough to use most weapons and spells but not too strong. I have done 3 playthroughs and really wish I could done the 2nd one again. It was the best balance of good equipment and just enough to use them. Also I hope that future patches will allow someone to do something with the extra Golden Seeds and Sacred Tears. Either sell them, use them as alternative ingredients for some consumables(maybe even new items), use them to upgrade Torrent, or use them to fill up your flasks outside of combat in PVE. After you upgrade them to max the Seed and Tears just sit there doing nothing. I would like some use of them even if its just extra runes.

holy crap man, this is the absolute best informative video about elden ring i've ever seen in my life. i also hope u are having an fantastic day bro

i love the elden ring video guide and items location even though i know where every item is, keep it up

Had to like and subscribe, thanks for the great video mate!

The only video you need for elden ring

U are a absolute legend the amount of stuff I missed or just the knowledge is so helpful 👑👑

There's actually no need to respec for the Albinauric farm. Strength builds can use Ruins Greatsword ash of war to clear them very quickly, bleed builds can use Mohg's spear, Int has quite a few spells that can do the job.

I accidentally found out the squid’s could fight great wyrm thedorix because I was trying to bait him to break the statue on the lake. They stance broke him twice

Anyone have a order list for NPC quest lines so we don't miss any of them?

13:37 Bro was too happy there I know he slaughtered every single merchant in Elden Ring lmao

@Doms Roundtable you are the man! thank you so much for this

Excellent. Very concise and succinct and the accent makes it ever so polite. I imagine you wearing a tuxedo while narrating this 😅

Awsome since I'm over 300 hours in and still haven't finished my first playthrough

New video HYPE!!!!

Great job big man, appreciate you. You helped me a lot and I am sure that you helped all the viewers too. Again, well done and thanks a lot ❤️

I just started playing Elden Ring some while ago and your videos helped me a lot! Keep on doing!

I think the best use case scenario for the hidden cerulean crystal tear is for non caster classes to be able to summon ANY of the Spirit ashes for no FP cost (even If you don't have enough FP to cast them)

Love it! Very good video. Thanks.

Does one keep the stonesword keys? If that's the case I would assume that collecting some of those may be desirable

larval tear is easy to farm at sacred nights ground in nakron. kill the boulder traps they drop it every time. Try to freeze them, slows them down a lot while doing damage in itself.

I beat the Elden Beast a few days ago. Now I’m just leveling up and tying up these loose ends before starting NG+. Almost up to 300.

After few vids I saw from you, man, here is my sub and wherever, whenever you read this, you deserve also fantastic day.

You are so awesome man!!! Thank you so much for making this.

This is so helpful. Thank you for your hard work!

Know this is late but you definitely don’t have to switch your entire build to do the sacred relic sword farm. I have a pure strength build and only used tailsmen to get the stats required. Radagon Sorseal, ,Prothesis Wearer Heirloom and ‘Millicent Prothstetic. This may vary for different classes(I use confessor) so fill in different tailsman if needed. Also you can’t use Godricks rune but you will have to use a rune arc so maybe farm before you’re about to fight a boss if that’s needed.Then just level up the sword and it will easily one shot.

You said seven walking Mausoleum, but there's only 6 marked on the map

First souls game getting toward the end and learned a lot of things too late so I'm watching things before moving onto ng+ so I don't mess up too much more before continuing. Good info

These are definitely the best Elden Ring videos. Thank you.

I'm NG+7 on my main, but am getting ready to enter Ng+1 with my second character. Almost 1000 hours in and still playing.

I kinda wish Bell Bearings just carried over to NG+ You always have max-level gear, none of the weapons or shields upgrade as you progress into Journey 2+ so why not just save us the time?

I'm new to the game, is NG+ the expansion, something you gain access to after you beat the game or something completely different? Either way, these hints help me during my first play through. Im only lvl 110 and almost 100 hours in the game. I was refusing to look anything up for the first part of the game, but that was becoming more difficult as time went on and caused a really slow start to everything. Thanks for putting these together.

Dope ass video! So many good tips here before NG+

very awesome video! it's going to help a lot! i'm not sure if you mentioned it but one should also go and get all the parfum bottles and pots for throwing 😊

Just a note with Gurranqs questline ancient smithing stone. You don't need to complete the full quest. You can just kill him at the stadium and still receive the smithing stone. (Don't know full parameters, only tested with 3-4 deathroots given to him)

YESSSSS!!! Been waiting for this video since the 12 hour stream!!!

Thank you very much, this is the kind of video I needed to start a NG+

I just beat elden ring 2 days ago melania, yesterday . What an accomplishment.

Very informative. Very descriptive. Great content.

Thank you. I am grateful for your grind.

I love your videos mate, so helpful.

Wow ive not finished the video but thank you for the time stamps! Will always return to this as reference

You are a king bro I literally searched for a video like this days ago

Thank you so much i need to gather a few of these i am at the End i can get past Radagon but Elden beast is proving difficult 😭 happy holidays Dom to you and yours

Quite frankly, I'd love to watch an Elden Ring version of War and Peace by you!

Damn this guy really put an effort for us. I just finished the game but I still didn't want to go to journey 2 so this video really helps me out. Thank you very much!

Well made bro. Much appreciated ❤

I needed this. Good stuff, Dom!

The bolt of granzax can be dropped by a friend if you pick it up and then return it, it will count for your collection but must not be upgraded

Such an amazing video! Thank you!!

Thank you for. Making this video, I'm still in my first beaten game but I haven't done any of these things yet so Now I know what to do before I buy the dlc or do a new game run before I start DLC.

Great video! I thought I was so close to starting NG+ but nope. Watching this made me realize I have a LOT of shit to do first. Ugh.

Bell bearings post patch. I did it before unfortunately!

Fantastic guide, thank you so much !

Forgot the paintings.
