Not gonna lie, Elden Ring is probably the perfect RPG for me… I love the sense of exploration and the dungeons are top notch! Stormveil Castle blew my damn mind, I kept exploring and the more I explored the more I found… secret after secret, crazy platforming and shortcuts… I thought it was unique, but then Raya Lucaria had the same thing! It just goes on and on! I love it… Games don’t all need to be this massive, but should absolutely learn from this game about exploration, true and honest CHOICE and have the bravery to make thing optional! So many games are afraid of making things optional because we might skip it.. but The Witcher, and Elden Ring have taught me that if you make a compelling and enjoyable game with lots to find… we will absolutely find it all! I doubt anyone skipped the Bloody Baron quest, or didn’t do Rannis quests, even though they’re optional. I only just beat Rennalla because I basically did 100% on Limgrave and the weeping peninsula.. etc. I can’t help but explore every inch of everywhere before I move on.

Safe to say that Gameranx is addicted to this game... like many of us!!

[@Nah-NoNeed_]

I wasn’t a fan of the other 4 games (but I enjoyed Sekiro). And this game was just so pretty I didn’t want to not give it a chance. And I’m loving it. So glad I picked myself up a copy.

[@alexanderpalchick8012]

This makes me so excited to get off work and go do some of this that I missed. I’ve run into so few NPC’s with side quests and have been wanting to do more.

[@druxkro4442]

2 years later and 265 hours into this game and I’m still finding new content. This is a big part of what makes FromSoft games so special.

[@marceloararipe1912]

"10 things to know when starting a new game" would be awesome, specially with Elden Ring

[@stendaalcartography3436]

Yes, I was specifically waiting for this category of Elden Ring content. Thanks as always Gameranx!

[@keyboardwarrior5696]

You can also get to the Lord of Blood area by doing a mini questline where you talk to the first NPC that calls you maidenless in Liurnia of the Lakes (he moves from the starting area to the Rose Church after you obtain one great rune). You need to invade 3 times with the fingers he gives you, talk to him again, and take the cloth he gives you and use it on the maiden that's located in the Church of Inhibition. When you take the bloodied cloth back to the NPC, he'll give you the blood badge that you can use to be teleported to the secret area.

[@MichaelJohnson-nj2cc]

The Nokstella probably will be more commonly accessed by finding the coffin in the Darkroot Depths as I reached it prior to advancing that far in Ranni's storyline. Also, there is a hint to how to open the Frenzied Flame Door with a clue before it telling you to approach it as a wretch, a class which started out essentially naked in the game. Surprised the Moonlight Altar wasn't mentioned as well.

[@DetectiveH.]

The sense of discovery in Elden Ring is unmatched imo.

[@ChronoEclipse]

The Frenzied Flame area is actually one of the endings as well... however according to people it is the... very bad ending idk the details fully, but I've mainly just been exploring whatever meets my fancy lol, I really liked the Capital's area (no matter how much it caused me a fair amount of grief) all the bright white and gold aesthetic and design really says a lot

[@Eadwulf_Skald]

What kind of ending it is depends on your own personal ideas. I actually prefer that ending over all the others because it truly breaks the cycle. (You could argue the same with the ranni ending but that's still very different.) The cinematic is awesome.

[@brandonyeager7106]

Fun fact! you can get to Mohgwyn a lot sooner by completing a questline given by White-Faced Varré after defeating Godrick. At the end he gives you a Medallion that teleports you there on use.

[@imsharathb7663]

I have started this recently have to explore 3 more places from this list thanks for posting this video

[@rebelwithoutaclue9387]

I ain’t missing nothing! I’m a freaking cartographer in this one!

[@KamikazeWeed]

There is actually other way to get into Moghwyn Palace by talking to Varre (the guy you first encounter when you leave the spawning dungeon) and doing as he says. Although you might have to fight Radahn first not sure since i already fought him before i talked to Varre.

[@sirnuke2864]

Can confirm that you DONT have to beat Radahn first in order to talk to Varre. I beat him after I overleveled at Moghwyn’s blood Palace

[@KamikazeWeed]

@@sirnuke2864 Thank you 👌 Didnt want to spread mis -info but thought it might be like that since a lot of stuff is blocked by Radahn..

[@Dracojax]

Think you do need to beat either godrick or at least 1 shardbearer to get him to move to rose church

[@Jeykey91]

11:00 There is a quest with a blind maiden that you must give 3 shabiririgrapes. You will meet her down there at the end and she will tell you the secret how to open the door. Also down there opposite of the grace is a illusionery wall 2 in a row that lead you to a second secret area.

[@jameshunt2499]

I realize that this may already have been mentioned but Getting to Moghyen via the consecrated snowfield portal is NOT the only way to get there. I got to the palace super early in the game by completing an NPC quest. Love the videos that you all do!

[@merzsey]

Ubisoft should be taking notes 📝 and so should the rest of the industry about open world games.

[@ryker5194]

Love this game. Easily one of my top five games. And this game also terrifies me. Stormveil Castle and Haligtree gave me SO MUCH ANXIETY going through them the first time around.

[@Jim26D]

Did you figure how to unlock the cells? I just finished exploring what I thought was the whole castle but could not get two locked doors open

[@ryker5194]

@@Jim26D Sorry for the late reply! My bad if you've already figured out, but you have to do some platforming around that area and find a key--and also another area that you need to keep an eye on ledges for.

[@Jasonmakesvideo]

U can quickstep through the lake of rot a little faster but I found my fp better used on the “flame,cleanse me” incantation . U can survive and if u just commit and run south for the next bonfire. . . And heal when u need to. Take care of the rot on platforms and jump as far as possible into the red stuff too and u won’t always get the rot between platforms too. I spent way too much time at this place

[@HDbeachbabe]

I really enjoyed this video, I already found a few of these areas as I was exploring and leveling my character so I can breeze through bosses and wear some gear I have, it's my first souls type game and I love ❤️ it so Much!

[@THExWASP]

really love the secret field bosses that only pop up at certain time of day

[@LordBlobster]

[@navdeepniitverma]

Thanks for the vid, and at 6:45 when accessing the portal if you could show or pont the location on the map, that would have been great help.

[@PaullyG]

I genuinely can’t stop playing this game now. It just never seems to end and I always find the maddest secrets

[@ALAYZA1000]

Glad I found these all lol I was hoping to see something I’ve missed

[@gameranxTV]

[@pgquips3703]

I found an invisible maze that you can only reach by dropping down to an area with reduced fall damage, then it goes top down view and you have to navigate the maze

[@tejathelegend150]

whoa that sounds cool, I don't think I've explored that yet. Can you give any more details on where to find this place?

People that do videos like this are just the best. Thanks man I'm 200 hours in and my hearts just warmed up by seeing jar bug how lovely need to check that place out

[@Issengan]

One correction, you can also get to mohg's palace area if youve gotten over halfway through varres questline. After soaking a cloth he gives you in maidens blood, he gives you an item that can teleport you to the mohg palace area. Best rune farm in th game, 50k runes per time you load the area

[@davidfrye6056]

Theres also another boss below Godrick. You go to the grace right before him and instead of going right you continue straight up the small hill. From there you want to do is turn right and follow the ledge around the area. There's a bit of jumping involved and a small fall but it leads you to another small secret boss.

[@Eadwulf_Skald]

You mean in the basement where you find that Cthulhu face? Rogier sends you there for his quest if I remember.

[@summerkaymike]

This game is a masterpiece!

[@hoodiemelo1565]

After 80 hours and grinding to level 179 quite easily, this went from a difficult game in the beginning to a cupcake by the end of it. Big shout out to mimic tear, rotten breath, and the ruins greatsword. When the game was brutal early on, it was really brutal, exhilaratingly so. But that made me enjoy easy mode so much more

[@jamesratcliffe4418]

Im glad I found most of these places just by naturally exploring, especially the hailgree tree since I was just destroying pots that day in that town

[@deon_strydom_00]

The fact that I found all of these completely by myself just by exploring gives me a real sense of accomplishment tbh

[@Ravenkiko]

You can still explore the frenzied flame area & rid yourself of that "curse" to finish the game with other endings.

[@GalaxiaKnightX]

Really? How is that possible then?

[@Dantaroen]

@@GalaxiaKnightX Dont know if you have found out yet, but you need to complete Millicents quest line and then defeat Malenia and activate Milicents item. You will get a new item that you can use in the twin headed dragons arena to remove the curse.

[@TheStonerSenpai]

another thing to add for the frenzied flame is that you can do Hyett as questline and upon reaching the bottom she will tell you that you have to be naked to go in. Also i you do Hyetta's questline you can spare Melina from her normal fate. also you can follow millicant's questline to undo the frenzied flame but be warned you will have to beat melania to do it

[@richlacerra6668]

I found nokstella and also the blood lord palace both in completely separate ways then you have mentioned, also deeproot depths can be reached from the same room with the frenzied flame behind yet another illusionary wall

[@breathtaker101]

To be honest I rarely know if the dungeon I am doing is optional or part of the main game. Lol Exploration feels so rewarding. I just did the ant tunnels with the dragonkin boss. Love yalls videos by the way.

[@mattsmith6003]

I'd just like to point out how classy and elegant you guys where with being super informative whilst also not spoiling anything. Even the drops or loot you'd get from a place you didn't even get or go near. Great video as always, can't wait for the next one🤘💪

[@bradytherrien32]

4:28 low key was super confused about this cause I found the pot first thanks so much for clarifying that

[@sick6654]

3:34 I love how you say "To the south of Limgrave under the Mistwoods" but the map shown in nowhere near that.

[@MumonguGaming]

Finding the dungeon hidden behind a false wall in Caelid, near the graveyard. The boss or should I say bosses, as there are 3 of them are a toughie. Good stuff in this dungeon, plus other secret walls, so go hitting things and see what you find. This game is awesome, and I hope FromSoftware continue with this format going forward.

[@verg1l9]

Name of dungeon or at least general location?

[@MumonguGaming]

@@verg1l9 Go to Fort Faroth and then find the updraft for Torent. Along the cliff. Drop down and it's just along that wall behind the biggest square tombstone (Big Skeleton in front of it). Hit the rockface around that area from which you just dropped down. The dungeon is called:- Sellia Hideaway. Hope that helps

[@speedspeederspeedest]

The fromsoft games have always been great to play with guides, so much of the coolest shit is "impossible" to find by yourself, even after spending way to many hours playing them. Its truly a modern take on the flipped castle in symphony of the night, a game that really shines (intensely bright) when you unfold all the convoluted secrets, this is just the same.

[@georgethomas4567]

You can reach the Blood Palace two ways. The portal or by doing a quest that involves invading.

[@WideSpreadPanic44]

160 hours into this game (probably realistically about 120 hours of actual playing time) and I'm on "Journey 2" and still discovering new things. this game is absolutely incredible

[@evictorr]

What really got to me about this game recently is that I thought the erdtree looked spectacular, but then I saw it burning and it looked even more amazing.

[@OmniscientSloth]

This game is insane! Every area shocks me with how big it is. I think, “Damn there’s no way I can explore this whole area” Then I fight a boss which opens up a new area that looks twice as big as the previous! Then there seems like there 5+ more areas of equal size! It’s crazy! Is anyone else intimidated and kinda exhausted by the scope of this game???

[@tejathelegend150]

Yeah I totally agree! This game's map is absolutely massive, and it can definitely be intimidating. I decided to go explore the full map and underground, and now I have to go back and search those areas fully for all the loot I missed XD

[@CaptainYokkiller]

The lava castle area basically sums up why I love Elden Ring the game rewards exploration. When I hit the invisible wall and found like the passage within the walls I was like "oh okay thats cool there's a small area in here that'll probably have a talisman in it or something that won't fit in with my build". Nope it opened up into a huge sprawling lava dungeon that hid one of the big story bosses in the game.

[@acb9318]
