I cannot overstate how happy I was accidentally finding St. Trina in the depest depths of the Stone Coffin Fissure after getting my shit rocked by the Putresence Knight. Damn Sludge Horse.

I’ve played around 200 hours of Elden Ring and I am positive nothing has made me as happy as running around bonking enemies with a giant sunflower.

Torrent should form a support group with Roach.

The 6 Winter Lanterns in the Abyssal Woods cannot be normally damaged, but do not respawn when killed. Sneak up close, alert them one-by-one, parry them, then they can be damaged as normal enemies. Thanks, Fromsoft, for forcing me to learn how to parry while simultaneously teaching me that parrying is inferior to dodging even when it's necessity is enforced.

And here I've been saying "Scooby-doo Tree" all this time.

You can use Mogh's Shackles to reveal hidden doors, and to unlock spirit springs. The shackles interact with doors and breakable spirit spring stones in the area.

There are at least two more epic ones tied to the same questline. Ox folks, you're gonna want to read this one if you like dragons and like purple. And I know at least some of you love dragons and love purple. If you talk to Thiollier near the Pillar Path Cross grace, he'll tell you about how he's good with poisons. Talk to Moore near the Main Gate grace and he'll give you Black Syrup. Give that to Thiollier and he gives you Thiollier's Concoction... Which kills you instantly if you drink it. But wait, there's more! He says it's powerful enough to bring sleep to even the oldest of dragons... And he's not even slightly exaggerating. As it happens, there is none other than an "oldest of dragons" standing right next to the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion - the dragon priestess Florissax, who has not slept for aeons as she offers her sleep up every night to the Dragonlord Placidusax. Hmm... Well, normally, if you defeat Bayle the usual way, when you return to the altar Florissax is dead; she leaves behind her weapon, the Flowerstone Gavel, as well as her heart that can turn you into a dragon priestess like her. But if you come to her at night you can hear her speaking to Placidusax about the whole sleep thing (or accept her blessing and read the item description to find that out). If you give her the concoction, it'll put her to sleep. Wait a whole day and come back, and she'll be sad that she's broken her oath and succumbed to sleep. Beat Bayle and come back, and... She's still there, and gives you the Dragonbolt of Florissax spell. But then you can admit to putting her to sleep. If you do so... She'll say you owe her. Owe her what? A Lord to follow, because you took away her pact with her old one. And she's decided you're it, and you don't get a choice in the matter. So you ALSO get her as a spirit ash. That talks! The second secret involves Thiollier's questline. If you go all the way down south to the giant hole in the ground, it'll be sealed at first. If you come back after Miquella breaks his great rune though, the seal is gone. As it happens, down there is a little trek through horrible undead and even more horrible laser-shooting evergaol rock snakes... But if you survive that trip AND the boss fight at the end, you'll find none other than St. Trina herself. Go back and tell Thiollier and he'll go to her. But when he's there... He can't get to sleep. And all you can do is interact with St. Trina... Which kills you instantly. Of course. It is ETERNAL sleep (except for the respawning bit). What's a Tarnished to do? Keep drinking, of course! Just keep drinking and dying, and eventually Trina will speak to you in your death-dreams. After a few extra lines of dialogue, you can tell Thiollier... But he'll be so mad he refuses to listen. And then he invades you at the grace outside. Beat him there and then you'll finally get to tell him the message inside Trina's garden. Eventually, he'll accept it - he shows up later as an ally at the end of the DLC. Then at the end he gives up his weapon and armor. Quest complete! Except for one tiny detail. Go back to Trina... And she'll thank you before disappearing, leaving behind a beautiful purple lily headpiece that raises your FP by 6%. Impeccable for fashion ring!

Midra's Manse gave me Castlevania vibes, and the fight was fantastic. I'm still finding things after playing through this twice. It's so amazing.

There's so much unsettling stuff in this DLC. It was a blast to play through. Also I managed to find most of these for myself by exploring. So much fun!

4:18 man, that non-stop "panic" roll and then getting grab attacked by the boss is really funny.

I will never not love Andy's sassy, cynical commentary on a game like Elden Ring ♥

From Soft sure has a lot of coffin transportation in their games.

You actually can get multiple copies of the Irises so you can get both of them as summons or both of their weapons

Midra is my favorite boss fight in Elden Ring. I've helped others kill him so many times that I've gotten well over 4 million runes from him.

“Biblically accurate nightclub laser show” is my new favorite combination of words

Angriest, deadliest Sunflower? Excuse me, Nightmare Flowey has entered the chat.

Good to know I can once again get lost in the hinterlands before the next dragon age comes out

I have to say, the 6 smithscript weapons were a nice and unexpected surprise. Especially the greathammer being in the shape of a traditional mjolnir.

finding the second divine beast in ancient rauh ruins was pretty neat

"if there's any body part Elden Ring loves" I can see fingers, but can't believe you missed the feet...

If you guys were a few hours earlier with uploading this video i wouldnt have had to watch that one tutorial to get euporia, u guys are way more enjoyable to watch.

There's a part 2 for Jolan... If you get her spirit ashes, there's a cliff in the Shaman Village (around the Hinterlands area) that allows you to platform and enter a balcony of Rabbath's rise. Inside the balcony is a puppet of Jolan's sister Anna. You can combine them for a Twin Bleed Sisters Ash of War.

BEHOLD A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR, AND I IGON!

Watching this now knowing full well it'll be ages until I get to it, currently only have about 11 hours in the base game, so I will have forgotten all of these and can rediscover them and feel really smart.

Sword of Light and Ruins of Raul (i know is Rauh) are very tongue in cheek references to Shadow of the Colossus

How y'all come up with excellent puns for every entry card always amazes me

The Abyssal Woods feels like the Dung Eater questline on steroids. Both have the Undertale genocide route thing of constantly asking "Are you REALLY sure you want to continue down this obviously terrible path!?!?!"

So glad Andy's enjoying this DLC so far One of us one of us one of us

half the areas in the dlc felt like secret areas...need a key, figure out flooding to the underground place, to the backwater place that was so hard to find.

There's boss item duplication spots all over the map in Shadow of the Erdtree in typical Fromsoft style the game makes no mention of these, they have no map icons and you'll miss them entirely if you don't know about them.

Okay, I actually managed to discover all of these already, thanks to the multiplayer messages...except for one - the Euporia - which I missed, _because_ I didn't believe the, "Try jumping," messages that popped up in that area. I'm never _not_ going to do what those messages tell me to again, I guess! Also, a couple of secretive areas that didn't get covered in this video are the Stone Coffin Fissure (below the Cerulean Coast), and Charo's Hidden Grave (above the Cerulean Coast) - not sure if they're _actually_ secrets, or not, but both of 'em sure took me quite a while to stumble upon! Also, be sure to try gesturing in front of Dryleaf Dane, when you come across him.

Even after being an oxboxtra fan for so many years I am blown away by how funny, sharp and charming the writing is for their list videos. Y’all are the best 😂

Huh, the Hinterlands, filled with bastards, demons and big horrible monsters roaming the land. Dragon Age: Inquisition’s Hinterlands are full of bastards, demons and bears roaming the land…. I think they might be a link in here somewhere? 🤔

I prefer pronouncing scadu like skidoo as in "23 skidoo" which is slang for leaving quickly, which is what i do whenever a scadu tree avatar shows up.

100% agree with #1, midra is at this point my favorite part of elden ring in general. i was rlly hoping they would add a dlc continuing frenzy flame ending when i 1st got the ending.

Huge Respect for playing the DLC with +7 Flasks and Fias std debuff. And they say there is no hard mode in Elden Ring

Midra has been my favorite boss so far, as well as his whole Manse. Really brings out the Good Hunter in you. The area leading up to it "The Abyss" was too big to be that empty (yeah, I know, it's an abyss...) . They could still have done more in there than just rats, weakass candle guys, WinterLanterns on Roids, and more rats...

@8:46 I love that Fromsoft uses different languages for names. Hinterlands simply means "the lands behind." Or more literally, "behind lands..." which also can also refer to where I stand when fighting bosses. 🤣

not only does a hefty furnace pot in the basket wake up furnace golems, it also does massive damage to them if you can manage to get one up there while it's active.

That Mother of Fingers is the stuff of nightmares

The 'I hardly know her' in some of these features' title cards make me smile because I could tell Jane watches Drag Race and may have written that.

21 attempts later, and I can finally bonk people with a bigass sunflower. Still my favorite boss in the DLC thus far.

Point on Euporia: if you power it up enough, apparently the ash of war gets a ranged laser effect.

Settled. Next playthrough is going to be madness based

Looks like Andy rocked SoNaF the entire game.

Fun fact for those who arnt aware euphoria was a weapon that was supposed to be in the base game but was removed cause they struggled to balance it correctly

Almost done with the DLC here, just need to kill Radahn and then I can maybe start NG+4. I also was confused why the Scadutree Avatar kept coming back only to finally realize that I had to kill it three times xD

@8:20 "is that not how you greet your Mother?" 😂😂😂

I will keep pronouncing it "ska-doo" until they spell it "Schadu"

“A jerk in a pig” is an understatement. My description starts with a c.

You don't need to choose between Jolan and Queelign if you want to give them Iris of Occultation or Grace. There are 2 of these items each in the DLC, just make sure not to use them yourself until you're done with Jolan and Queelign.

I most say, finally meeting St. Trina and seeing it's a human/flower hybrid surprised me a lot

The random screaming man in the creepy mansion. I thought ut was a psychicpebbles scream for a second. Lol

I'm surprised you didn't go one layer deeper and tell us what happens when you tailor Ymir's clothes.

I found the Stone-Sheathed Sword in the Ruins of Unte and the Altar of Darkness in Fog Rift Catacombs.

For me, the dead giant dragon at the Dragon Altar was so cool. Though I may be biased as I really really like the whole behemoth thing and seeing large creatures with a sense of scale to them is my favorite.

There's more to Jolan's quest as well. If you give her the iris of grace (and there's more than one in the DLC, so you can get both hers and Queelign's summons) and get her summon, you can then take it to the top of Rabbath's rise (you have to jump down on it from the hidden shaman village) and reunite her with her sister Anna. Then you get a summon called Jolan & Anna which is much better. 🙂

Love the humor, worth a like and subscribe 😂🎉

Regarding number 5, you can indeed choose to give both characters one type of iris. You can actually find two of each throughout the lands of shadow.

This looks savage (I have never played any Elden Ring game) and frustrating at the same time.

the irises of grace and occultation also act as a rune arc, with the iris of occultation taking all of your possessed rune on activation. the ideal way is to give both irises of occultation away to both npcs, since their respective weapons are better than their respective ashes, and then keep the irises of grace as backup rune arcs

Bro the design of that last boss is SO cool holy shit

I wonder if it’s possible for a DLC to get Game of the Year, because honestly this might be in the running

I really hope they make another DLC

Oh hey, already found all of these. Neat.

Andy in the DLC with only a +7 flask is making me feel sympathy pains. Ouch.

You can add Anna's to Jolien's spirit ashes if you climb to the top of Rabbaths from the Shaman village and find Anna's puppet

You can jump down from the shaman village onto the top floor of the mage tower. You can find the other sister there, who is a puppet. This turns the ash summon into a duo.

7:21 Fun fact: smacking an enemy with the weapon increases “sheen” which only matters for the skill which increases in damage the more sheen you build up, which goes away when the skill is used. If you get max sheen it launches a laser with the skill Also: you can have a few different versions of the Lady Leda invasion depending on who you talk to. Lady Leda, hornsent and dry leaf Dane are all permanent but there are a few variations Completing ansbach’s quest adds red and freyja on Leda’s side and ansbach will let you summon him against lady Leda I’m not entirely sure here, but either talking to Moore or helping make tholliers concoction without finishing his quest adds him to leda’s side Finally finishing tholiers quest adds him to help against lady Leda like ansbach Every variation adds new dialogue between the characters and the people you can summon to help you can also be summoned for the final boss. I almost forgot, if you helped leda kill ansbach a sanguine noble can be summoned in his place, who they are I have no idea It’s really cool

you can parry those creepy winterlanterns to get some secret goodies

The environment design reminds me of Grime, with inorganic substances giving rise to organic shapes and creatures.

I enjoyed fighting metyr,mother of fingers. The background music and overall ambiance of the fight sa so good.

4:19 was this a "roll only for movement" playthrough? The irony that, after ALL of the rolling, you still got hit by the attack that went after you lmao

Could someone tell me why secret No. 1 is significantly more incredible than secret No. 7?

Metyr gave me a Monty Pyhton vibe for some reason. The animations, not the people.

they didnt mention Euphoria has 3 phase the first is what the showed, the spin to win attack. But as you attack the blades will continue to glow more intensely. phase 2 lasers will shot out the the spin attack and phase 3 a holy comet asur will blast out

Try alter Ymir clothes. That way you get even cooler and more unsettling version of it.

What kind of build is Andy/Oxbox using in this video? Looks fun as hell

I don't know about DLC, but the base game has this epic boss hidden down a hole named Rick.

Doesn't Midra's flaming head indicate that they successfully became Lord of Frenzied Flame and destrpyed the Lands Between at some point in the past? Because I didn't get my fire head until I beat the Elden Beast.

So Scadutree is literally just prounanced as shadow tree? Why the hell didnt Fromsoft didnt just called it shadow tree? Would have saved alot of headache.

I was able to use iris of grace on the twins as well as that invader guy, i have them both as summons now

Torrent knows what they’re about

I see everyone making this mistake about the stone shef sword. The altars are in the same places but depending on which one you go to first you'll get the sword then the other two will give you the light and dark sword

10:47 completely missed the chance to make the joke calling matyr one tough mother

Thought I found everything... Turns out I missed the divine bird warrior spirit ashes. I assumed they were just the horned warriors lol also got their armor set aswell. I also missed the teleporter in scadu Altus that leads to the divine bird warrior in the ruins on the top left of the map. Wonder what else I missed?

Angriest deadliest sunflower ever? What about Flowey?

I'm still mourning the fact that I went back into Elden Ring to polish my skills, saved ny game and put ny ps5 into rest mose, not knowing that apparently there's a glitch that causes that to scrub your save and for some reason the onlyy cloud save back up I have is from when I was level 29 and was still running around unlocking stiff around Limgrave. I'm trying very hard to reignite my enthusiasm to get my Tarnished back to being and boss wrecking bad@$$.

That is how everyone should greet their mother

If you ever do a part 2, St Trina

There are 2 of each iris. You can definitely get both ashes or weapons.

It's very upsetting watching these videos because I've come up with some creepy things but I never could have thought of mother of fingers. It's wonderfully horrible and I just can't quite make anything like it

There are two of each iris in the game so you can get both spirit ash or both weapons.

Never change andy

Slight correction on the Irises, there are two of each iris. Additionally if you care about Spirit Ashes at all and aren't a katana loving degenerate you should give Jolan the Iris of Grace despite it being very mean. It gives you her ash, but if you take that ash to Anna's puppet you can get the upgraded combo Spirit Ash of Anna and Jolan which is the new undisputed best ash in the game, dethroning Mimic Tear because they are stupid strong, use the better NPC invader AI and there are two of them.

Elden Ring: King of AI Finger Boss Fighter

You never showed a single example of euporia charged up lol

Hey! You leave King Bulbin alone! He's doing the best he knows how!🤣💜 😎🍻😎

to be honest, the way to open the door to the hinterlands doesn't seem terribly convoluted for a from soft game.

Would rather fight an angry furnace and defeat him so he wont respawn than to go through catacombs with imps and traps
