[@ItsShatter]

Here is a pinned comment that I'll update with more missables as time goes on. Here is the first video in my "Guided Walkthrough" series, where we complete all quests and missable content: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3vLYX-ChJ2Ee6M Second “Missables” video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIa9aoOYYrWSqZo 1. Yura’s Questline must be completed before going to the Mountaintops of the Giants (maybe before defeating Morgott in Leyndell) if you want to get the Raptor of the Mists Ash of War. 2. Bernahl at Volcano Manor and his request there. And also Bernahl's invasion at Crumbling Farum Azula. Do this before defeating Malekith to avoid missing it! Have a great day, and as always, thanks for watching!

[@RockingAssassin]

I think Millicent doesn't invade in Aeonia Swamp if u talk to Gowry.

[@Asriel_Cypher]

A lot of people also missed Pidia NPC Questline. I was 300 hours into the game and I didn't know there was an NPC named Pidia.

[@ItsShatter]

@@Asriel_Cypher yeah he doesn’t have much of a Questline- he’s more so part of Seluvis’s Questline

[@Asriel_Cypher]

@@ItsShatter Indeed and perhaps it is that, he is Seluvis. Once he dies, so did Seluvis. Seluvis was a puppet all along. Their voice is also similar.

[@CauseImDuncan]

@@RockingAssassin I can confirm she still does, I found gowry before touching the swamp and got invaded later on the opposite bank

[@charlesajones77]

My only major complaint with this game is the quest progression. Too often it means finding people who've moved, with absolutely no clue as to where they moved to. You have to rely on luck, scour the whole map repeatedly, or just look it up on the wiki.

[@raijinoflimgrave8708]

I started playing a character where I've been scouting the map, and questlines have felt fluid and make sense because I'm not looking for them specifically, I'm looking for everything. That being said, total 100% of limgrave/weeping/stormveil alone took me 50 hours... currently working on liurnia, but this is where quests start to double back and jump up to altus. Not looking forward to figuring that out while going region by region

[@oscarriveraabal9390]

What i hate is when they move to a location you have already explored, so you probably wont go back there and will miss the quest

[@Jim26D]

@@raijinoflimgrave8708 this is what I've done. 170 hours to get to the city. Then I find out I killed to many bosses to get invaded at revenge shack. Hopefully they add an extra grape somewhere.

[@JuicyJews]

@@raijinoflimgrave8708 it’s a broken system that doesn’t suit people who don’t have 10s of hundreds of hours to spend playing a game.

[@seanz5827]

classic soulsborne tbh, if everything was handheld/easy to find you could blow through the game and be done with it, and with a game like this i dont want to be done with it or "just get it done"

[@dylanmahaffey8920]

The vagueness of quests is one of the things people complain about that I really cant argue. Often times these npcs dont give you any idea that you are meant to do anything for them and some even say they are leaving and I just assume I wont see them again. I dont need a game to hold my hand and show me exactly where to go on the map but man these quests can be cryptic.

[@emerystheimmortal417]

@R D No man its lazy quest design and people make excuses because everything else is so good. The ere are examples in this game where they did it right for example Blaidd and Alexander will tell you the next area to meet them. While others are cryptic but also do not account for the fact that in an open world game you may have already been to the area they go to next and have no reason to go back unless you know they will be there.

[@gearardlefore]

I agree with this I’m level 158 and barely finding out there are quests that I’ve missed and boy do you have to watch tutorials on how to complete them! I’m not mad but perhaps a quest tracker would be great

[@Bearwiffa228]

Yeah... A simple journal/quest tracker would be great. Unless they're trying to take it back to ttrpgs and pc games in the 90s where you had to write down all your notes or try to remember 🤣

[@emerystheimmortal417]

@@Bearwiffa228 That's nonsense. The old games were limited by data and so many things when deciding not to add stuff like that. Not to mention the sheer scale of this game dwarves anything those developers could have ever imagined possible. I remember having to write stuff down while playing games as a kid of the 90's but times evolve for the better and in my opinion these excuses are nothing more than that. Fromsoft made a great game in so many ways but in terms of the UI, menus and other little details they fell short because they did not account for the open nature of the game completely making their normal quest design lacking and in some cases confusing as NPC's would visit areas the player had already cleared and had no real reason to revisit. These things do not take away from the game but are the reasons why I would personally only give the game a 9/10 and not a 10.

[@4nto418]

@@Bearwiffa228 Maybe not a quest log but just a log of previous conversations. Fuck if I remember what Ranni told me 50 in-game hours or three IRL weeks ago, and now I'm supposed to know what to do and where to go ?

The “Bolt of Gransax” Legendary weapon located in the capital city is unobtainable once you kill Maliketh. It’s required for a Platinum Trophy/ All Achievements.

THIS is the only Elden Ring content we need. Not all these KZbinrs like "OMG, INSANE SECRET ITEM 98.25% OF PLAYERS MISSED! BROKEN OP, SHOULDN'T EXIST!!" Proceeds to be a video about the Mantis Blade or Wing of Astel or some shit

[@Ecliptor.]

I haven't watched those videos but you can see how many people get achievements on steam, and I'm already defeating achievement bosses that less than 20% people beat... It's not farfetched to think that some items are only picked up by 2% of people.

[@r6host774]

wing of astel is fire

[@GraaD-87]

Actually... the HARDEST thing about Souls series was never the combat, but rather not missing the questlines and NPC-associated items. This always scared me the most: to do something that would cut a quest short, denying myself further interactions and unique assets. Simply entering a level, skipping a summon, not talking enough or giving a wrong answer can ruin such things for the whole playthrough, locking the player out of content.

[@ascendedsaiyan1804]

The Legendary “Bolt of Gransax” spear, found on the giant spear in the capital, is also missable if you don’t pick it up before getting to farum azula.

[@alexisramirez4320]

you can’t get it as soon as you burn the tree down and turn it to ashes

[@dogs-game-too]

Black bow as well. Probably more but I thought it was worth mentioning

[@Emertex7]

I really like this style of time stamps way more than your other Missable videos. I can skim through the "before this thing/boss" and easily know where to stop in my game before I break/miss something. I can safely play my own adventure until that "Danger!" point. Very very, VERY much appreciated. I just wish the other descriptions had lists in this style.

[@presidentrogue5668]

I enjoy finding stuff out on my own through gameplay, and I make it a point to keep from spoiling. Then I saw how much I missed in terms of quests. Definitely the story and quests are a major weakness in what is otherwise an amazing game. Basically, players are highly encouraged to look this stuff up while playing and thereby spoiling the quest/story/NPC aspect.

[@doctorblue5223]

I found by paying attention to the dialogue and searching all areas before moving on helped me with quest progressions. I'm almost at end game and have managed to get most quests started or done. I'm just here to see if anything is left. I think they've always done it this way to make each playthrough feel different

[@janebtar2167]

I feel like they kind of did this on purpose so views on KZbin for their game would go through the roof

[@gregmartin2225]

I disagree... games lay things out way too easily these days. Pay attention to dialogue, inspect individual items lore and use your head. You'll have the time of your life if you're willing to put the effort in.

[@presidentrogue5668]

@@gregmartin2225 I agree that stuff such as quest markers and area lockouts and stuff make it too simple, but this is the opposite end of the spectrum. When exploring Volcano Manor, I found Rykard so I fought him. Come to find out later that this action cleared out like 5 different quest lines. And you can’t go back to an earlier save or anything. There should be a happy medium between these two styles

[@kenneykost8126]

This is how Fromsoft has been since Demon Souls.

[@treshold75]

Latenna' questline is also missable if you don't start it early.

This is exactly the video I've been wanting and I haven't even watched it yet. That title is it tho, I been using all your quest guides cuz I missed alot on my first play through side quest wise. But theyr all like half done because you need to progress the side quest as you progress the story. So knowing what to have done, and when is confusing

[@tobymcgroby8967]

Thank you for this! Like most watching this, I've been in love with Soulsborne games since Demon's Souls in 2010. We both know the invasions/minor-npc spoilers don't negatively affect the player's experience like they would in other games.👍🤓 So please don't let the jaded commenters dissuade you from (thanklessly) making more of these guides. These are lifesavers👌

[@jamescody9982]

There is a shabiri grape in the petrified ruins in South Eastern Lunaria. It's in a cellar. You need to roll on it to break the floor. There is also a "two fingers talisman" that raises faith by 5.

[@CuddleBuddee]

What's up Shatter, just FYI, the patch that came out a few days agov.1.05 finally fixed Alexander from being stuck in Caelid. I did everything I could but he has never moved from Radahns arena for a month on my main playthrough that I refuse to select an ending for lol. I logged in yesterday and he finally moved to his final destination(sparing spoilers for those who care ;) ). Just for your reference sir, for future videos. I enjoy your content, take care!

You can kill edgar while he's weeping at Irina 's body and still get his grape. He will not invade later if you do so. However if you return to where you kill him, the grape will just be sitting there.

Thanks for posting this and thank you for all the work you do re: Elden Ring. Does being transported to Leyndell, Royal Capital, through the Tower of Return transporter trap chest, interfere with any other questlines? I opened the chest but fortunately jumped back avoiding the trap. I am currently about to activate the Festival of Radahn.

I spoke with alexander at the start, and then at rahdan after beating the game, and it worked

[@protocoltonic5352]

i first met alexander at the radahn festival and was able to complete his quest from there. i didnt even summon him against the fire giant and still found him in farum azula

[@bossx26-70]

Most useful video on Elden Ring

[@flkee7308]

nice video mate

[@Brim_the_Wizard]

I can attest to the Alexander bug where he's locked into Radahn's grace site. I never did the first part where he got stuck in Limgrave but I was there for everything else. For me, Alexander left for Radahn's grace site right after I summoned him and beat the Fire Giant fight. He literally only had 1 spawn point left and he refuses to move to Farum Azula for the finale in his quest so I'm locked out of his talisman until NG+

[@Boris82]

Did you check his second 'stuck in the ground' location after exhausting his chat at the Radhan Battlefield? Near Jarburg. That helped for me.

[@octaviaperfect6156]

maybe it was a bug, but i suspect this "bug" may be players not realizing that (as far as i know) Alexander in Radahn's arena is the only time an NPC will repeat their 'final' dialogue more than once when speaking to them, and yet *not actually be done giving out new dialogue* if you spam speaking to him some more.

[@aldosalas2722]

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!

[@doktordaxter]

Im pretty sure you can kill Rykard and then do the third invasion quest in the mountaintops after. When you come back to volcano manor the reward should be at the table where you got the letter

[@dayz112]

yes, i did that way

[@xShotgunSurgeryx]

Really? Both playthroughs I waited to fight Rykard until after I got to the mountaintops and killed Juno. Meaning I was over leveled by that point. Good to know you don’t have to do it like that.

[@roycecarter4663]

I did the Alexander quest well after beating the game and it still worked for me I just had to go back to Calid and talk to him then the quest was able to progress

[@yzwme586]

A couple more that I can think of. Thunderbolt Ash of war is found in royal capital. I think it disappears when it turns to Ash. Golden parry as well but not 100% on if it is there after or not.

[@jormungandr7885]

On my second playthrough I kinda forgot about Alexander and when I went back to the first spot you find him in he wasn't there. He was at the radahn festival but after that he didn't show up in the next spot so I screwed up his quest. Not sure what triggers it but it's best to kick him out of that hole asap.

[@ruckusbuck720]

Fantastic video, informative and concise! Well earned subscription lad, keep up the hard work!

[@sarasattler5269]

You can also get locked out of Seluvis' quest for the magic scorpion talisman even just by picking up the fingerslayer blade or something, without giving it to Ranni yet and getting him killed. I don't know exactly what it was but I got to a point where he wouldn't give me the quest even with everything before it done and I can only figure that was the problem

[@nitogame]

He will only give you the quest if you discover his dungeon and read the message there. You just also give his potion to either Nepheli, Gideon or Dung Eater.

[@mohamedkhomsi3375]

Thank you so much for this. In my 1st playthrough , I lost Seluvis who got killed and also lost Big Boggart's quest. I actually didn't dare to start NG+ before I saw your video. Very nice of you, thanks again.

[@AcquiredCents]

I got "calm down" gesture after he kicked me down the mountain, i went back and talked to him, i can confirm that. 100%. Upon speaking with him AFTER he kicks you to seethewater area. Pulley bow is up on that tower btw, one of the best bows, but can't change ash of war on it.. (i like barrage for status effects) These are THE BEST guides I've found, i ws able to do 100% npcs last playthrough. Now I barely need one, my memory isn't what it used to be though..

[@evergaolbird]

Invader Recusant Henricus is something I only learned through the Wiki and I missed this invader twice on my playthrough.

[@ItsShatter]

I will look into that. Thank you!

[@davidadams8147]

So sad i missed Patch's qu'est the loot looks amazing 😭 also I did the last manor letter before finishing Ria's quest 😭 glad I found this for a NG+ tho 💜

[@EdenA1968]

For me my friend killed patches in 1 shot with his bleed build. What did he offer, anything good besides gear since I already got my dream set.

[@user-xo2og8kv1o]

i really like the game and all, but with how big the world is and how easy it is to mess up or miss quests, i really think there shouldve been some sort of quest markers or quest journal, even if its just to keep track of of all those different story and quest lines. i know, i know, ppl praise fromsoft games for not having those features, but until now their games were very linear, unlike elden ring. and not having any of those features just results in googeling non stop, looking things up and stressing about not progressing too quickly or messing things up. actually poorly designed.

[@Sub4Subcontent]

Me too, n I’ve played fromsoft for years

[@Noah-zp2fn]

apparently the lady to get the polite bow gesture is no longer around after the festival. so make sure to talk to her to get it before you kill radan

[@kyleboshoff3071]

thank you

[@brianbailey1681]

As long as you interact with alexander at some point before farum azula, such as the radahn festival or the lava after a boss, you can complete his quest. As for Diallos, you can complete his entire quest as long as you dont kill rykard, tanith as well i believe you just will miss out on some dialogue but the tonic will be left in her chair even after rykard, i think you can give it to nepheli too but not sure what happens then. At least this is how it went for me the only quest thats bugged out on me is yura’s where he got stuck at his initial location

[@sheluvslxchie]

I’m watching this and I’ve missed almost everything in this video 💀

[@moonlitfoxling8448]

I'm glad you can go into NG+ Sure it'll make everything harder, nut you'll be able to obtain everything you missed before

[@nekownage]

You forgot Rogier Rapiers Questline. You will block out if you starting Rannis questline before.

[@Sworn973]

6:20, you can kill hikard even without access to leindel castle, as long as you have the last two quest, the one inside leindel castle, and the one at the winter peninsula, you can kill haikard, just be aware that you can't talk to the others npc until you finish both invasions quests. I do this when going for Haikard as first boss without losing volcano quests/itens. Do all volcano quests until you only get the last two, that will be impossible to do as you don't have access to laindel yet. then kill haikard and don't speak to any npc there until you finish both invasions.

[@brandonvasser5902]

I was able to do Irina’s quest after beating the game. I had all 3 grapes collected too, and even entered the frenzied flame chamber and got the flame. I then backtracked and was able to do her quest very quickly. She had no unique dialogue even though I could burn her eyes from the get go. I was just item hunting after beating the game and had already done ranni’s ending.

[@GamingonFiction]

Fuck, I killed Rykard too soon. The NG+ to-do list quietly grows. Great video as always!

[@Faust8423]

2nd playthrough i missed alexander in limgrave but was there in caelid and then at mt. gelmir. Although on my first playthrough i killed him on accident before talking to him on farum azula and didn't get his special item to give to the little jar kid.

[@gottinrod]

Isnt there a way to mess up sellens quest as well? Also if you step foot into Altus Plateau it triggers the Radahn Festival, if you go to Redmane Castle you miss out on acquiring the Ruins Greatsword from the Crucible Knight+Leonine Misbegotten boss until after you defeat Radahn and the castle returns to "normal". Also on Seluvis there is a myriad of ways you can get locked out of acquiring his puppets.

[@kajbjerke4485]

Go to Ancient Snow Valley Ruins, head over to Shack of the Lofty, and double jump torrent off the cliff. If you line it up right you can respawn at a stake or marika. No quest line needed

[@ittoarataki347]

Doing the NPC's side quests only ends up in very sad endings. I just realized I just ruined their lives.

[@BaddoBadtzMaru]

I met all these NPCs whether I finished their quest lines or not, I'm on NG+4, and just found Jar-Bairn.

[@robotman2530]

I'm curious if using teleporting trap chests that teleport you outside of Limgrave/Liurnia are exceptions to the instruction to complete first steps of Nepheli’s before leaving Limgrave/Liurnia? I think there is at least one other NPC quest where it is recommended to do certain things b4 leaving certain areas/traveling to other areas, but Nepheli's quest is just the 1 example that comes to mind atm. Since using the teleporting chests blocks you from fast traveling until you first rest at a Site of Grace, I am not sure if using the teleporting chest atop Tower of Return (southwest of Weeping Peninsula) to be taken to Lyndell, Royal Capital just to obtain the Blessed Dew Talisman will have a chance to cause issues with NPC quests.

You have to buy something from the guy that is stomping on Godrick, it took me forever to stumble into. I said stumbled because I gave up already and was just buying something that I wanted from him. He won’t move into the throne room, thus negating Nephelia’s quest as well

I missed poleblade and rivers of blood on my first play through by killing the fire giant first. . Also I didn’t meet Alexander until the Radahn fight but I was still able to finish his quest line. The Dung eater quest is just ridiculous.

[@EdenA1968]

Fore he still pawns there after killing fire giant, this game weird at times :(

[@k-ME-HARIPRAKASH]

What is the armor set you wearing?

[@bvegawpb]

You Edgar doesn’t invade you at the shack you can get the grape where you first meet him at his castle.

I beat the fire giant before church of repose and was still able to get the rivers of blood. I did not burn the tree yet tho.

I never did Irina’s quest and I found her dead when I went back to do the Samurai’s quest. I didn’t see her father there tho. But somehow he did spawn at the Revenger’s shack and I got all the other spawns to finish the shibriri eyes and fingerprint grapes

Swear I've missed nearly all the side quests on my playthrough (around 70 hours into first one) and now I'm at endgame I'm starting to see items that would be useful that I'm locked out of from npcs I never even knew had questlines it's really annoying they should add some sort of journal you carry with you to note down things people say or where they are at the least that's not unrealistic

[@ballsack8937]

I finished the game and randomly went back to explore farum azula and he was standing outside of the courtyard where you fight the dragons

[@notoriousdkl1415]

Hey I’m at the end game and want to know what quests I can still finish at that point in the game hope u can help thanks

[@flamezgamer3218]

Damn wish i seen this before , im still able to xo dung quest even though i only grabbed one curse it seems

[@jeremymarsh1377]

Alexander can be done anytime. I did it after completing the game but I think you have to get half way through his quests though.

[@deathtotrimzy]

Can I still do certain quests' (like Nepheli's quest) once I've wrapped up my initial run and started a NG+? I have been only focusing on leveling up n killing bosses, and so far, I have not been paying attention to what they are saying and have killed NPCs that I probably shouldn't have killed..

[@curliousoakshield2889]

Holy shit... i finally found a youtuber who actually knows the english language

[@justsayin2085]

If people dont wanna miss a lot of side quests, dont kill the last boss in lyndel or finish any diff ending quests like rannis quest.

[@emerystheimmortal417]

Sometimes just entering a zone triggers some quests to fail. In an open world game where freedom is key having all these restrictions is annoying

[@ilteo5398]

What is the name of the armature set of the cover?
