I was a bit hesitant to publish this video because, even though a lot of effort went into making it, I am not super happy with the final product. It still has helpful information and I hope people get good use out of it!
I am trying to figure out a good format for how not to miss anything on a playthrough and think I've come up with one but it will take time and I can't make any promises as to when a video of that kind will be out.
I will turn my attention back to complete guides for the remaining quests in this game (Latenna, Bernahl, Blaidd, Boc, Etc.) and keep thinking about how to approach a guided playthrough of this massive game.

Have a great day, and as always, thanks for watching!

By giving Nephali the potion, you get her as a summon later. (This fails Nephalis quest)

By giving Dung eater the potion, you get him as a summon later. (This fails DE's quest)

You can get the stormhawk Axes without falling Nephalis questline.

Seluvis questline rewards a magic Scorpion charm that's easily missable. If you give ranni the potion (the second potion) from Seluvis, it fails rannis quest and you need to use a dew to reset the quest.

You can summon the jellyfish somewhere in the Consecrated snowfield or mountaintop of the giants for a gesture.

Summoning targoth during the rahdan fight gives you a gesture.

Patches can be missed easily and will die if not Interacted with. Don't actually kill him during his boss fight. Complete his quest at volcano Manor before killing rykard. The item he he wants tanith to have does nothing as of now (Shaded Castle encounter). He will be at his cave for his "final" encounter. Punching patches in his cave and getting to low hp gives you a gesture. Once again Don't kill him.

Speaking to melina at a Church somewhere in altus plains gives a gesture.

After millicent moves to altus plains, Buy the threads spell from gowry and speak to him for a gesture.

Seems like you need to do NG+ at least once to get everything on a single save.

Blaidd is a big help (a summon) at the start of the game in a fight for getting you the best curve sword in the game.

[lhg]

Don’t know why they keep the mechanics that once you killed area bosses, invader will be gone as well. Serious what purpose does this serve

[JaxkGoesHeavy]

I've been literally using every single one of your videos for these complicated quests thank you so much!

[Spookyglam]

Thank you so much for this!!! I unfortunately missed out on the Rogier quest because I beat godrick before I spoke to him (because I didn't even know he existed) and I already started the renna quest line because I was eager to get new spells from the puppet mage that works for her. She started this game less than a week ago and guys like this have immensely improved my experience in elden Ring Thank you so much again 💛

[CrazyKoenie]

nepheli's quest stopped for me because i killed Kenneth, so i decided to waste Gostoc. Then after i killed Mohg, Nepheli moved to stormveil castle and so her quest was completed. those npc quests are so illusive

[MaxJolin]

Whooaahh, Elden ring never fails to surprise me, even months after release and loads (Way too many actually) of hours in the game.

[anselhelzengaming]

You know, you can still get Nepheli's Storm Hawk Axes even if you complete her quest line. One is in Leyndell Capital and one is in Castle Sol. You can look it up online, but as long as you typically search around in areas you probably won't miss em.

[dwagongorawr]

Dude that marshmallow merch actually looks awesome.👌

[dogs-game-too]

Love your videos, keep up the great work!!

[WhiteBuffaloWakanGli]

I do enjoy the quests, but I really don’t like how NPCs get locked if you progress too far on the map/bosses, before talking to them. They should stay in their spot until you interact with them.

[creepyboy]

I was locked out of a few quest just by going to far in story! Really could use all those smithing stone rewards! Guess i try again in new game+!

[Sugondese-hfvh]

If you skip out on blaidd and talk to ranni you can still meet him trapped in darwils evergoal (When I started the game on the 1st day of release blaidd was hostile for no reason and I had to use a celestial dew to do rannis quest

[uchihahh]

rya's and middle steps in alexander's quest are super missable, most of fya's story trigger after 2nd and third assassinations but you are very close to taking down rykard by then, you will miss he questline and she is nowhere to be found, and alexandder can just glitch out if you didn't meet him before radahn fight, causing him to be stuck at radahn's battle arena until after you defeated fire giant and the ritual. Seluvis' quest is also super easy to miss because he dies very fast, if you get ranni the finger slayer blade he dies, hinted by blaidd leaving you the message of taking care of a traitor, while his quest really requires a lot of things, especially the final step of amber starlight shard, that is up on the altus plateu, which for me is usually later than norkron city. In fact heading up altus ruins early steps of most of the early quests in general. Also be careful after obtaining the magic scorpion charm from seluvis, do not carry out his plan and let him die, otherwise ranni will ditch you can cause you to mess up her questline unless you use a celestial dew, the final carry out doesn't change anything besides pissing off ranni so don't bother.

[Jacob-thom]

Your guides are super helpful, you should do a gesture guide

[jasonlee]

You sir is a site of grace, in my journey to explore Youtube Elen Ring contents!

[MRGATRY]

One of the hidden secret quests you forgot to mention was the Marshes of the Mellow quest. It's brief, but after you kill Astel, look carefully to the lower left half of your screen. A furry cat named Marshmallow is trying to get your attention. When you aide the fur ball you get an Ancient Feline Catstone, it's the equivalent of the Dragonstone.

[blazzered]

I really wish FromSoft would’ve kept the quest system like DS1, in which quests would ONLY progress by either talking to the NPC, and/or buying everything they’re selling. In DS1 you can make your way to Gwyn, and then go back and complete Seigmeyer, Logan, Griggs, etc. afterwards since they don’t move based on bosses.
After DS1, all quests progress now by bosses killed and areas reached, which imo is a bad system because now you can miss out on quests/rewards without even realizing it until it’s too late, and especially in games like Elden Ring now where things get complex you could be *forced* into NG+4-5-6 all because you find out you missed a single step in someone’s questline, missing out on a reward, that will require an entire new game… I understand giving reason for NG+ but it gets to a point where forcing beyond NG+ is just asinine.

[leonshore]

AMAZING. PLEASE keep these coming! I'm trying to piece together the chronological order for everything. Should I go in order from watching part 1 first and following that, or this one first?
