It is finally time to make our way to the Capital with all the south content completed. While the enemies here won't be terribly hard if you've been following along the guide the bosses can still be quite challenging. This episode we focus on tackling a lot of the upper portion of the capital city. While there isn't any incredibility important loot this episode there is quite a lot to do here and it's good to fully clear out the capital as we'll lose access to it later.

[@jordywillems8225]

Is it going to be a problem using the frenzy flame at the giants ? Been following the walktrough but i wanted to go in blind for a bit ?

Ps buckler parry is wayyy good on a mage. Shield be gone

[@shutupimstilltalking]

@@Crusader-777 if you find yourself getting destroyed I have some tips you should and shouldn't listen to. 1 Intel scaling sword? No get rid of it. It's so much cheaper to just buff the weapon with magic or ice. I prefer a high stagger weapon like lordsworns greatsword, but if the weapon is a sword and has a built in status modifier that's better against bosses. 2. ashes of war are pointless. Unless the ash of war is going to help you live or get your spell out it will just cancel your weapon buff... however endure raises your defense and poise, to my knowledge doesn't disrupt the buff. 3 the talisman that raises defenses at full hp mixed with an endure is almost 100 percent damage negation. 4 armor is great but poise is better and that talisman plus endure pretty much has your back. I just wish I could find a high poise low armor, weight set. 5 also you can kill that weird gatekeeper from godricks castle for the second best parry shield however I've been liking having a sword that can double as a shield.

I call this game "Epic." The scale is amazing. It's very difficult to tell someone how "Epic" this game is. 10/10 for sure. I wish it had a quest log. It doesn't need to tell me where to go, I need it to refresh my memory of what I'm looking for. But still, amazing

​@@thatboydingus3353eh, I don't even follow the story. You can just go and do whatever you want. The way I personally play is to fully complete a region before moving onto the next.

I was constantly in awe in the capital. It's HUGE. Never expected that it will dwarf stormveil for example. It's like 5 stormveils together. It's how Anor Londo could have been with more budget and experience.

[@SirGuidemere91]

[@undefinedvariable8085]

And Irithyll. Actually, Leyndell is probably the equivalent to DS3's Irithyll; around about the same point relatively in terms of progression in the game, big skill check with the area boss (Pontiff), and opens up to end game.

It's too much of a maze for my taste. The first part is very confusing. I guess for future playthroughs I'd just bee line through it because most items aren't important.

[@legodac]

I have to say that I have noticed so many people comment how the wish the guides didn't talk. I beg to differ and in your case Sir it is most welcome and often profitable. Even when you may not do something you make a comment giving another avenue. Case in point, around 23:36 you mention running by the big Envoy and killing him to get his weapon, even you didn't I veered off course, cranked up my discovery to 283 and got. Very cool weapon, I even went and got the Envoy crown which I think is 15% more damage on the weapon. The charm I already had but I feel as you do, I don't like sacrificing defense to gain some attack, makes no sense. I really appreciate your presentation methods, thanks so much cowpuncher!!

[@UhhhGoblin]

been watching u since my first try at dark souls games, now i dont end up watching them as much because im a lot better than i used to be when i started lol but god damn man you taught me to check every corner, every cliff for a secret. Thank you my man

[@Muhyee21]

I like to 100% my souls games and I always watch your videos after clearing an area to see what I missed. It's amazing that I found my way around in the capital with so many interconnected alleys and found everything you did! On the other hand I missed the entirety of Caelid Tower in the previous video!

[@brucedoezema6886]

The little bit where you quick equipped the lamp just blew my mind, carry on...

[@Gljiws]

it realy shows how much experiance you have playing this game. as a mage i had to farm runes to level up like crazy( oround 2000000-3000000 runes). and i stiil dont have as easy time like you in this are. its not dificult mind you ,but you are simpresive to watch. chears mate and thanks for the guides.

Never been big into gaming until i started playing elden ring about 6 months ago on my buddys console. I went out and bought my own and in love with this game.

The capital was surprisingly easy to loot and just go through in general. Like there isnt a lot of missable/hidden areas. as long as u actually look around and explore u should fond most of the stuff. I already went through the capital and am now watching the walkthrough for it and i got 95% of the stuff here.

I just got it too, thanks for the comment. Took me a min. But you can stand on the pointy decorative tip and do the jump trick , jump and hold sprint, then jump to the ledge just under and to the right of the giant spear. Took me a few tries of running back up. Clear all the enemies on the path for an easy time Requires 40 dex, so not a big deal if you are not going to use it. You can grab it easier later

[@visigothsloth4819]

I LOVE IT when he's like "these guys are pretty easy" lol. Uh, my health bar isn't even half way to the compass line. I'm always trying to find roofs or stealth means, cause these guides are SO organized and great. Not like Joe Hammer who deletes negative comments, lol.

[@ace_white3590]

You missed a chest in the room above the ladder you climbed like 8 times starting at 4:01. It’s only a perfumer bottle though.

[@joshwyble6558]

Each time he would go back into that room I was thinking ok this time he is going to grab it but it just didnt happen.... Maybe I'm too nosey because I break everything in every room, look over every ledge and attack every wall and yes it takes a while but I have found some awesome loot and secret passages by doing this.

I have not slept at all, good morning though, like cowboy said “Let’s get to it.” This is gonna be a good one.

[@Morghan]

@Brandon Smythe lol, i understand you 100%

[@tantam7314]

Hahah same here, this is my first time playing this type of game, like ever, snd when I first started to play I was so lost and almost returned the game. But I decided to give it one more day and to watch some KZbin videos. That same day CB dropped the first episode of the walk through and I’ve been following step by step ever since. I will play it, let cowboy go untill he gets to a point where he won’t get attacked if he stands there for a minute, I pause the video then follow right along and then when I reach where he is I play the video and repeat. It sucks when I’ve run out of video for the day though snd at that point I just kind of run around goofing off killing things. Going back and killing stuff I had a hard time killing esrlier in the game, or I go try to find secret stuff CB missed which I’ve only found like 1 or 2 things. The biggest being the secret room in the cuckoo church in Raya Lucaria. There is an entire sun room area hidden behind a secret wall that we missed in the walk through. With coffins and some rune arcs. It also opens the church up a lot and let’s s bunch of light in Lol.

[@tantam7314]

Also, I have been waiting on us to get to the Capitol for a good week now cause once we get through there is a whole new area for me to run around and discover shit in cause I’ve been over every inch of the southern areas. I won’t fight any bosses or pick up any loots nor do I go into any dungeons or anything, I save that for my time with cowboy haha but I will Venture ahead in the open world area snd just kill cool new respawn enemies or I’ll pick an area and try to kill everything in it after we have gone through it. Like I’ll take Liurnia and try snd go around with out hitting a grace and kill everything so if you run around there will be no enemies what so ever and it’s just you by yourself with the occasional merchant. I haven’t been able to do that yet I’m Caelid though lol

[@tantam7314]

@Brandon Smythe haha, I got that one as well on a later run through bored. Also because of there not being anything I care to watch on tv so I just run around this game goofing off waiting on CB to drop the next video I have leveled up past him and he still kills everything much easier than I do. Haha. I’m new to these games but yea, I’m quite a few levels above CB’s character for thee videos just cause of all my running around exploring.

[@tantam7314]

@Brandon Smythe same here, I cheated a little and went snd got the lord of blood area earlier than we did and used the bird off the cliff farm after doing the ball thing a bunch as well and I’m not level 172. Now I will beat the boss in half the time it takes CB and almost all the bosses up to this point since I leveled up last CB has been fun but pretty easy. HOWEVER, the seed beast in the bottom of that ghost cave yesterday has kicked my ass time and time again. I still haven’t been able to beat it. For some reason it’s already spawned when I go through the mist and is ready to attack. Before I can even get through the mist and start swinging or doing anything it’s already attacking me snd kills me. I believe out of 8 tries i was about to get out of the mist snd move 2 times. Both times I rolled away and called my mimic and before the mimic could even form the damn thing killed it then me. It acts WAY different than the one in CB video. It’s almost like it’s spazzed out like those 4 armed soldiers do when you hit them and they don’t die and just start swinging wildly everywhere. I think it’s glitched on me. Super frustrating to say the least, that’s for sure. Lol I seriously haven’t been able to get one swing or one spell cast before dying and that’s even if I pop a rune arc, pop my physik to give me the bubble of protection snd out on a heavy shield and armor. Still 2 shots and I’m poof. I’m my vigor is 50 and 55 with the rune arc.

[@anthonyk7924]

@26:58 you can jump straight across the gap to the other roof and get a rune 12. Just after picking up the black bow. Continues SW jump gap.

Cowboy: "The guys who are gonna struggle here are gonna be our mages" Me, as a mage: "Nope, Moonveil still one-shotting most enemies"

[@derektutton7250]

What are your stats to do one shots?

[@joshjeffrey3044]

@@derektutton7250 At the time about 60 int and about 22 dex (Note Dex will only have an effect if the Katana itself makes contact with the enemy. I.E Dex does not effect Transient Moonlight). Later in the game the Stargazer's heirloom and the Shard of Alexander can help with this. By "Most" enemies I'm meaning the regular joes, not bosses and special enemies.

[@joshjeffrey3044]

An interesting note here is that how little Dex effects Transient Moonlight. I did some testing in the Academy of Raya Lucaria on the Abductor Virgin after the debate parlor. Base damage on Transient Moonlight 1052. Damage with Prothesis wearer's heirloom (boosting DEX): 1052. Damage with Stargazer's heirloom: 1073. The reason I point this out is that for the Moonveil boosting dex ONLY boosts the contact damage of the Katana, not the weapon skill. If you only care about weapon skill damage keep boosting INT

[@prax77]

[@GhostlyKudu2]

Honestly cannot believe how trivial you made this area. I naturally came here after Liurnia, found Altus tricky but not terrible, would have been around level 60. I got my ass handed to me so much in the capital first time round, it was the first time since probably Margit that I felt properly roadblocked. I still get that sense of dread whenever I'm back there and I think that the Leyndell theme might be the most fitting music for a zone in the whole game, beautiful yet filled with hopelessness. It perfectly translates that feeling that something here has gone very, very wrong

[@cloudbloom]

I got lucky getting each of those bubble horns the first time I fought one of the small marshmallow dudes and the big one, just happened to drop the first time. Rng gods were feeling generous that day

[@purpleshaqi9273]

I’ve just had the same thing! 😂

[@joshwyble6558]

I used the area where you first encounter the marshmallow dudes to gain some levels and once I was ready to progress further into the area I had close to 40 of those horns and a dozen or so long horns . I'll keep one of each then sell the rest. But on Dark Souls 3 I started keeping the weapons and store them in my chest and I have about 87+ Lothric Knight Swords so its no secret my level grinding sweet spot was Lothric Castle because the knights would sometimes drop embers as well as titanite chunks and of course the sword. Alot of people think that it is hard to obtain certain items due to the low drop rate but to me it's not a big deal to kill the same enemy over and over until it drops the item because I'm old and I grew up on games like Dragon Warrior for the NES and sometimes you had to farm forever it seems to get an item due to the drop rate being so low so I'm well accustomed to grinding and it gets boring at times but at least while you are farming you are getting experience and other items you can sell for money

[@robertfaulkner1824]

Never played other soils games… the black bow is my favorite bow as is but S scaling ?! That’s nuts. In addition to barrage it’s the only long bow that gets a quick fire shot after landing from a jump (like a short bow ) . It’s a very good blend of short and long bows. Great for status effects. If only want one bow I’d recommend this one.

Not sure if it was luck or not but the knight at 25:30 dropped his whole armour set for me. Just thought I would let y’all know in case it is something that has been missed

[@scottmurphys]

Cowboy - there is a grace in the house down there if you really need it.... Me- Hell ya I need it, 20 hps and not flasks!

[@nuckinfutzsf822]

Mages! Dark Moon Greatsword makes this so much easier but beware you may wish to free the Dung Eater from the sewers and make him drink the potion Seluvis gives you to get his Spirit Ashes before you give the Knife from Noskella to Ranni.

[@Mr.Buggles]

"Right round the corner there should be a guy with a horn" 😳🤣😂🤣

[@gabrielfinlay4396]

You must be British?! 😅

[@onyxusthe1768]

Came to find the second Grace, stayed because you're kicking straight ass.

[@mukamuka0]

Thanks man... I'm super boring after clear all enemy, walking around for 2 hours in the empty place trying to find a way to progress.

[@rickace2307]

I have watched your play through so far but decided to do this one by myself and it took me weeks cuz I kept dying ALOT. But now I don’t get lost lol. I remember the map now 😂

[@bobbrooks-u5g]

ive followed the guide thoroughly since episode 1 and malenia hasnt come to me at a grace since before the minor erdtree church. what did i do wrong?

[@raymondschaer6199]

Nice guide. I would be helpful if you post your level and stats along with main loadout items so people can get an idea if they're ready to take on this area.

[@anggaroymargita6072]

don't be jealous of me cowboy because I got that envoy long horn from killing that big bubble guy . thank you for awesome walkthrough video

[@MauR1CEnl]

Thanks, i was kinda overwelmed with the size of this area and where to go. This helped alot.

[@TJuice1986]

The imp @24:56 screams to others for help and has a hard time swinging the weapon he’s using. I’ve never heard an imp make a sound, but this one does! For anyone following this, hold up a shield and don’t kill him. It’s pretty cool to experience.

[@rubenlaredo]

Fighting cowboy your videos are awesome and you completely rock, thank you for all your videos pal

[@lunacyc9]

yo i watched this video and learned how to parry, best things so far

[@TrophyHunterTyler]

0:24 to the left of these doors (he blends in with darkness) you may have Boc the seamstress here. IF he is here just use the "you're beautiful" voice and then interact with him. Do NOT give him a larval tear he will become a lifeless human at rannallas feet. Tell him he's beautiful and let him call you Lord and this NPC won't get a bad ending

[@TehHobbitses]

You can reach the legendary weapon by jumping to the rooftop below it and then jumping across to where you drop down at. I managed to grab it that way just yesterday while testing to see if I could jump that way or if I had to get down from the top.

[@viniciussartori5082]

Tried this with light load, jumped onto the corner and then towards the middle where the legendary is. This works, nice hint

[@TJuice1986]

You missed a chest in the room @4:42. It contained perfume bottles. It’s behind some portable devider walls.

[@Tom-V]

I honestly love this area. And jeeze those three corpses at the end! Rude!!!

[@TheMadAfrican1]

Amazing how doable the capital is when you have the right weapons and level. I tackled it a lot earlier than this, with no big weapon to stun the knights, and it was a struggle. Fun, though. Except for the crucible twit. Trivial once you can parry? Yes. Still exceptionally boring to fight? Heck yes.

[@bamandontshadowban]

At 4:01 and again at 4:27, note there is a chest that contains a perfume bottle that you ran by twice. It's hidden behind a chair in a somewhat dark part of the room.

[@cloudb.1071]

Minute 18:18, that's the location of the Bolt of Gransax, which is one of the best long-range weapons in the game, and you can actually get it right from that spot! Just jump atop the gazebo and then jump onto the wall's edge. It could take you a few tries, but it works.

[@johnjuanwong]

Excellent walkthrough dude!

[@collinnewbs5119]

Alvenue balcony made me chuckle. Love you cowboy!

[@shanejan441]

Hi!! What armour set is Cowboy wearing??? Looks amazing! Great job with the walkthrough series!!!

[@joeecou8]

Howdy. In the future, for every rare drop farmable item can you please mention how rare and hard it is to get. I literally have gotten everything to drop first time while following these videos. I got both bubble weapons back to back.

[@secondplacechamps4199]

it took me around an hour and a half with the silver scarab, silver foot and the arcane mimic tear mask (to boost arcane/discovery) in order to get that long bubble horn for my faith build. it's hands down the most fun weapon in the game and it shreds!

[@morrigan7017]

There’s three horns too, the medium is the best for the big bosses tbh but I’m not looking forward to farming it at all.

[@secondplacechamps4199]

@@morrigan7017 yea it was definitely defeating lol i got it on my last try. said okay if i don't get it here ill just try again tomorrow and boom, the game must of felt a bit sad for me lol

[@farishizuddin3582]

Thx for the walkthrough cowboy. See you in a month(going to school sucks)

[@synicalfutilist4890]

“All the stuff I’ve killed, I want to keep alive” lmao that will stick me for a while

[@djhusker]

There is a rune on the of the roof a couple of buildings down from where he got the black bow. It's on the back side of a roof slope.

[@Epicnossity]

That part right before you started the rooftop area hoping to get the envoys long horn I actually got it while I was following along in your guide... had a quick laugh, hopped on the interwebs, and realized how broken the weapon is and how lucky I am to get it. Currently looking up OP builds for this weapon. So excited :D. Hope you got it soon after cowboy!

[@_SKDK_]

Most beautiful area of the game so far Imo. The night stars in sof/nok are cool and all but we've seen that before in with lothric/boreal. Leyndell looks completely different from the castles we've seen before. I prefer the roman/greece feel instead of the euro gothic feel.

[@charlietorbert1446]

Found it funny when he said dont deviate from the path after i ran through the capital and beat all the bosses up to the the mountain tops of the giants just so i could get rivers of blood

[@paulgratton6389]

Loving your walk throw gone from part 1 to part 56 so far on my second play throw

[@rkj5480]

The big envoys weapon is one of the hardest weapons to drop in the game apparently. I got one while simply doing run backs to my runes.😂

[@thebluelunarmonkey]

22:15 Finally some progress on crucible knights, had him on his knees several times begging me no to run him thru with the Fang. Car Revenge on Brass shield - same frames as small shield.

[@thesecondshambler]

If you can one shot the perfumers then this section is much, much easier. Those guys overwhelm you fast if you can't. I think I did this a bit too early in my play through (I still have lots to do in the previous areas).

[@rensgreuter8152]

It's simple, wait till the fire finish and attack....

[@SoulSeekerDR]

I could not parry to save my life, lol, literally. I suck at parry. God bless

[@thecardon]

Not that its super important but where the black bow is at 26:55 if you hop over to the roofs just south there is a rune 10 or 12 I think? I can't remember the number now

[@stevengan9004]

It's 12. Thanks for that.

[@stephenbennett6108]

Back here because I finally need to finish this game

[@Runsofourlives]

I'm here in the capital for my first time ever today. I killed my second herald and get the bubble horn. Excited I move on I kill the envoy and he drops the longhorn, first try. I nearly got up and walked away from my computer. I spent hours farming the nobles thin blade and both of these things drop within 30 seconds.

[@hp4lyfe]

It’s crazy how comfortable I am fighting crucible knights now lol

[@ericsavala4686]

As a mage I made the mistake of bad flask allocation. It was about 50/50 but you need way more for FP as your blasting through TONS of enemies. Most enemies are slow in the capitol just gotta be careful in those tight rooms.

[@BigCuttyCrack]

The flute in the background music reminds me of the forbidden palace music in sekiro

[@CrimsonTear1996]

24:26 great video, a little sad that the item on the rooftop across from where youre standing right there is the only item that made me look up this guide 😂

[@Gerdoism]

Her: how’d you die? Me: ….by bubbles

[@amirzt9611]

We finally reached the capital😍

[@knall1971]

I accidentally torched the city before this walkthrough came out (as I’ve wondered all over the world doing goodness knows what to progression lol) i killed a few bosses Mellina and few others and ooos now we have giant kitty litter box Can become the Elden lord but want to wait and see what’s left to do in other areas. I’m hoping I’ve picked up what’s needed for the platinum in city though 🤞 Have to say thanks for these cowboy sitting by at home feeling miserable with the mighty covid these help a lot to pass the time 👍👍👍

[@ThePorkchopExpress975]

compared to cowboy im severely under level for this arrear. takes me three swings to kill a marshmallow man

[@マリー-v4p]

This is where I tapped out. Game got too hard ❤
