Hoarah Loux acts as the actual healthbar for the first Godfrey phase. So when you hit Godfrey's model, it's actually Hoarah Loux taking that damage below the arena. It's a thing From has been doing for a very long time, it was the same with Ludwig in BB

Zullie the Witch has a video showing a bit further than this, apparently if you disable fall damage and drop down where you did, you end up in the Elden Beasts arena.

The Erdtree is hollow?

There’s a spot in the secret city under the left tall guilded building way down, it has 3 stored melanias but they don’t move or do anything. I assumed it was a glitch and moved on cus game is so big. I know how to get there but it’s very tricky and requires using the flying sword movement to jump far

[BrandonHernandez-imzu]

Its amazing to me how y’all even find shit like this. Had that been me just walking around and stumbling onto Horrah Loux I would’ve probably screamed out loud 🤣 I was like wtf

[Crap_A.I_bird]

I was kinda expecting you to end up falling into the deep root depths but no instead you were greeted by some shirtless guy hiding inside a big tree

[ivanjerginov]

I'm probably wrong, but I feel like the tree spirits, the weird worm things are sorta like, detatched roots of the Erdtree, just some head cannon, wonder fi there is some stuff in game that answers it.

the waterfowl to get to areas is actually really creative

Thanks to Zullie, I already know about the "hidden boss / actual boss healthbar" thing From does.

This happens to pretty much every boss with a 2nd phase that has a new model, The 2nd phase form is always hidden underground until the 2nd phase starts, it also acts as the Bosses HP bar in the first Phase.

I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong) horah loux is the health bar for godfrey and in phase 2 he moves to where godfrey was.

It appears that dex builds are able to truly free roam in this free roam

For anyone who wants erdtrees favor +2 without any trouble, try assassins gambit.

ngl, this brings back the nostalgic feeling of finding out of bounds secrets like the marine in 343 guilty spark

Zullie the Witch did a video on this; I can't remember the specifics, it may have been impossible to reach without no clipping, but the Elden Beast arena is down there as well. Even if you can get to it with the method in this video, the wall of the boss arena prevents you from entering either way.

[elgus]

You can actually reach the same spots in normal Leyndell, but you have to use weapon swap Malenia's hand to reach them.

[jumpierwolf]

Also if you drop all the way to the bottom of the erdtree without dying then you get to the elden beast's arena.

[sleegon]

Did not know this was possible thanks for showing me. I do have 1 special spot that I do not know if you can reach, but it might be possible. The outer wall of the haligtree behind it is an island that is really close to the outer wall, think you could reach it?

[lucaszembrzuski]

There is an area to the left of the dragon that spams lightnings with birds all around in the farum azula, you have to drop down there, but you can also drop down from the bridge just before the dragon. Somehow i have never seen any streamer go there, just like they don't know about the place. Lobos, Ela, Hob etc..

[dawnweaver]

you can get to placidusax's area with out the cutseen by the zip glitch.
