That first knight isn't a guarantee shield drop. He dropped his hammer for me.

[@GrimDMasterMind]

Think the drop was changed from the build the reviewers got a week before. The shield is dropped by another knight later in the Fog Rift Fort.

[@jdmaze1]

One thing to note (for those that are interested), you can break the ghost stones covering spirit springs with a shackle (either Margit's or Mohg's work). In case you are wandering around and can't seem to find the ones to break.

[@borisdragosani7584]

Also works for invisible walls and lights in chariot rooms. But, be careful. It can reveal your location to local enemies

Thank tou🎉

[@POGGERS8764]

Thanks so much had no clue how to get rid of them 😁

[@charlesajones77]

8:28 If you're going to grab the Swift Spear, you may as well keep going along that path (don't make a left) to the Pillar Path Cross and grab the Scadutree Fragment there. Plus Thiollier and a Site of Grace are also there.

[@ryanpanek215]

Finally!! Someone uses markers!! So many people throw these videos up without giving you a couple seconds to see where exactly they are on the map at any given point lol. Stuff is really hard to follow. Another reason your content keeps getting better.

This is wonderful, Just want to mention @ 15:35 there is also another spirit ash up behind this near the cliff.

Is that actually true though? Around 14:00 when you're going through the camp, wouldn't that trigger the first questline advancement? I'm not sure where the exact point is while you approach the keep because I triggered it somewhere else entirely.

These videos are massively helpful. I would have quit Elden Ring early on if it wasn't for your original series. Now it's one of my favorite games ever!

Man I appreciate this. I spent about 4 hours exploring yesterday and I found next to nothing in the game. Finding anything is like a needle in a haystack for games of this size.

1st Thing to Get: the 25 Scadutree fragments you can get without fighting any Bosses to get a Blessing level 12

[@rustyshackleford1062]

Yep, that's why I'm here. 63 vigor getting tired of being 1 shot by dancing Leon's bite attack. Give me one dang mistake Miyazaki not everyone who plays your games is capable of a no hit run.

[@Balladefrede1]

You can get 25 without fighting a boss!? holy moly.

[@ryansiebel2860]

Loving the videos they’ve been great to watch after clearing areas to make sure I really am getting everything possible!

[@hectified]

Before jumping off the cliff at 8:36, head just a bit farther SE for another scadutree fragment and site of grace.

[@mmack66]

Yep. If you go there, you can get one more level of Scadutree Blessing.

[@hectified]

I only discovered it because I overshot the directions in this very useful video.

[@Asdom100]

Magma Blade and Talisman of the Dread is my go to build if a boss annoys me too much. And always #1 choice vs Tree Spirits aswell :D

Hey Dom, thanks for all the help. Question, at 18:00 you mention a powerful, hidden piece of loot. Parden me if this went over my head as I'm sick and kind of out of it mentally, but were you referring to the puppet?

I know it's not an essential item, but there is a Forager Brood Cookbook [5] in the poison swamp near the 17m mark of the video.

To the right of church of crusade, their is a dead corpse of a weird creature- when you attack it, triggers an invader with good loot.

[@dalesizemore6044]

So the rune broke as i was nearing the black knight near the end of this video, i did get slightly off course and ended up riding past the bears. I did talk to all the npc at the sites of grace and killed the black gaol knight in the evergael in first area, but heard no mention that would trigger the rune break?

Are there specifically 2 handed weapons? Or does that mean when you’re using 2 hands on any weapon?

[@wolfiemuse]

Appreciate these. Want to make sure I say something since you're a "smaller" creator than some of the other Souls creators, and commenting and liking the video will help, but yeah -- I'm a part of a very small Souls community (Square Table Gaming, shameless plug even tho it's not mine, my friends) and a lot of us are like, SUPER spoiler free. For example a few of ours only watched the first trailer and then nothing else. So it's been interesting trying to navigate without spoiling myself TOO hard (for example that a certain character is back, hated that I got spoiled on that, but that wasn't you) but there are other small things I really care about. For example, dragon priestess. So I appreciate these videos not being too super heavy on spoilers.

[@cupsYT]

Great video. Scadu is pronounced "shadow" (Old English) I think

[@lordstevenson9619]
