Elden Ring: 10 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do

Elden Ring (PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S/One) is filled with various small tricks and moments you possibly didn’t even notice. Here are some things you can do and see that you may not’ve realized.

Fromsoft games are the only games where the "Things You Didn't Know" videos actually tell me something I didn't know, thanks gameranx! I should make you pizza sometime

Note, wearing a talisman that greatly increases your carry weight makes it so that you can run normally in fields of lava, rot or poison.

The Laws of Regression does not only work on the statue as mentioned in the video, it also reveals other hidden things - aka hidden walls AND the hidden walkways mentioned earlier in the video.

I explored a bit before I did stormveil, so I kept hearing about the two fingers. I thought it was some kind of metaphor. Like “the king’s hand” or something. Imagine my surprise when after I beat Godrick, I went back to the round table hold and found myself in front of two giant literal fingers. Sasuga, Fromsoft.

The invisible walkways is a nice throwback to Dark Souls, the crystal cave area & I died to gravity many times there.

Elden Ring really set the bar high for the next generation of upcoming RPGs

Apparently using Margit's seal reveals all illusionary walls, no matter how many hits it should need. This is dope.

Tips for Scarlet Swamps: If you do have the Black Knife set ( given that you're at Haligtree already ) you can actually move like normal at swamps that would normally slow you down.

You can also use moghs shackle to tie him down for a few seconds. Helps alot. You can find the shackle in Lyendell Catacombs

Game Devs: you know what would be really really give that rando wall a boss level health bar.

This video reminds me why I’m bothered by spoilers less and less. Thanks for helping us catch what can be easily missed. 48% of this game’s fun is the community

The Crystal Tear for Mohg was a nice surprise for me. I had no idea I ended up facing a major boss, and after two tries against him, I went for my tears and... I saw that red one. So I equipped it and tried again, actually expecting nothing to happen. I ended up beating him, amazed by the details of that potion (It's shown as a red sphere around you that cracks a little everytime Mohg says Nihil, until it breaks) . Everything was so random I just repeated to myself "This game is simply insane".

If you’re thinking about getting Elden Ring just do it . 40 hours in and I’m only 16% progressed. Been spending hella time just running around doing a bunch of different stuff since there’s so much to do. First souls game experience and hot damn. I’ll be playing it for so long and I have no complaints.

You can also backstep through swamps. It's slower than quickstep, but WAY faster than walking.

The thing for Mohg's curse doesn't completely negate it, but it does HEAVILY reduce the damage and prevent it from staggering you.

About the 50 hits wall, Zullie the Witch has an interesting in depth video about it. Basically, isn't meant to be a secret wall and is considered to have 9999 hp, not really needed to hit it 50 times.
As to why it shouldn't be removed : it can potentially lure enemies in the sanctuary zone, meaning you'd have no way to fight back against them if this passage is open.

[exxy]

For the Fringefolk Chariot, I tried to cover the way to get it relatively easily. Essentially when the chariot rams the wall you're standing on. You'll see the screen shake. As you see the screen shake, that's the visual cue to shoot an arrow to snap the wire holding the pot. I would recommend lining up the shot with a practice shot prior to attempting it so you don't mistime it or worse, waste a pot.

Gameranx be posting so many Elden Ring videos I'm gonna purchase this now. My first souls type game too so let's see how it goes 🙃

[zeldaofhyrule]

3:10 for the invisible floors I used my Bow to make a path so I know where to go.

[matthewjessey]

I thought regression alone reveals secrets meant to backtrack to find a secret and I jumped of a ledge near it to get the bolt of gransax which was a legendary weapon. That message was why I looked around and I saw it lol. Crazy it serves 2 purposes

I know and understand that it is assumed that everyone has experienced pretty much all of this game by now, but that isn't necessarily the case.

I've had this game since release, currently 170 hours in, and really taking my time to enjoy my first playthrough.

That said, while over the years they're usually pretty good about it, this video should have came with a spoiler warning. At least towards the end of the video. Some big ones since points 2 and 1 reveal massive story and ending spoilers.
