Drop rate must be awful, I've yet to see them drop one. Edit: Farmed them for about four hours before I got one and then got three on one run. O, RNG gods, why do you hate me so?

Dom, did you know that there’s a dog that can be seen playing in SotE? Just southeast of the Cliffroad Terminus site of grace, where the brood NPC is, there’s a Bloodfiend + Dog patrolling. If you wait and watch them from a distance, you’ll notice that it starts chasing and trying to catch the falling leaves in that area. Pretty neat touch FromSoft!

One insignificant change is when you meet Leda at her bossfight and didnt help/kill Freya, completed Moore's quest and Hornsent so they are absent from the fight, Leda will only say:"Needle Knight Leda, Dryleaf Dane" and not say "and their ally". Thats it, thats the secret :D you can actually 3v2 them with Ansbach and Thiollier

Two more of those selective enemy drops based on location 1.

Rats in Midra's Manse just before the Midra's Library Site of Grace can drop Swollen Grapes, which can be great if you killed all the Aging Untouchables.

The death blight eyes in the Scorpion River Catacombs can be disabled with Black Flame or with the Black Knife Dagger special attack. The mimic veil also helps get past them. As always, your videos help a ton. I've already bungled my playthrough as I broke the rune, but that's alright. :)

from what I've seen, the only change from summoning is that hornsent will invade you at the church of the bud before Rom if you summoned him at any point, kill or not, against mesmer. if you sided with hornsent and did not summon him, he "rejoins" Leda in the battle royal before radahn and can potentially make the encounter much harder. during the battle royal in my playthrough, he came in soon after Freya and would absolutely blender me if I tried to trade before anspach zones in. So I THINK there's no obligation to use quest summons during bosses, you will eventually get thier sweet loot

Dom you did it again!

Even though I’m still very disappointed with all the things that didn’t get rapped up in the dlc, realizing that Miquella’s curse of eternal youth extends to his mind does make what he does make more sense. He’s a child playing with toys, like that kid in the Twilight Zone that wants everyone to think happy thoughts.

An addition to the summons inside the fight fact, if you progress the finger questline past the second horn you can summon jolan for a number of fights around the map (messemer and ghostflame dragon in cerulean coast are confirmed). What's more for the messemer summon jolan is inside the boss arena just like hornsent which means she probably doesn't increase the health pool of messemer.

I kind of disagree about doing all of the NPC quests. Yes thiollier and ansbach can be summoned later but the Leda fight becomes so much more difficult when all of the NPCs are present. It feels like a punishment that they all fight you for finishing their quests

@kristopfer5788

I honestly didn’t do any of the npc questlines, I only had to fight two people at the end, and I still got the hornsent and moores stuff, the hornsent attacked me randomly by invading me after I beat the final boss when I went back to the rauh ruins, so I’m guessing I should be able to get freyas stuff somewhere.

You eatin good with this dlc bro, I hope this can keep you making content for a while. Love the things you missed and build series

you can also fight the NPC (Ansbach) on the ground floor of shadow keep. found this out by accident when i tried to jump on him to reach a higher area lol

additional tip for the Abyssal woods if anyone’s struggling with parrying, there are flowers that are within the patches of grass that you can hide in that will attract the madness lanterns, you can use this to easily get around them they’ll be occupied with the flower being set off

You can pretty consistently get Nectarblood Burgeons from the sleeping animals right next to Fissure Depths SoG. With 308 discovery I was getting atleast one but most of the time two per farm.

5:05 they're actually called aging untouchables as confirmed in multiple items descriptions

2:08 i got two of them my first time stumbling across that spot lol

You can get Moore’s armor set and shield by killing the wounded enemy near the church in scadu altus first grace. He invades you immediately. Once you take him out, you get his armor which is slightly better than the bull goat set!

The Scadutree boss i took to the third phase a couple times before i figured out to critical it 😂 🤦‍♂️ im so oblivious to things sometimes. That was a fun fight though

Video slaps, as always

Thank you sir!!! Thank you for helping the old man out.. definitely a very difficult game....

For npcs quests, breaking the rune actually makes you miss 1figth for hornsent (that doesn't affect the final stages) just DON'T BEAT MESSMER till you exhausted all npcs dialogues and quests

moore's questline can be broken, if u kill a kindred of rot npc, he will invade you, and if u kill him u got his gear, and his bell bearing would be on the area where you 1st meet him.

youll get the Exultation for Madness upon killing the First Madness watcher. Its not a specific one its jsut which ever one you kill first

18:25 that makes a lot of sense and good reasoning. But I don't care, its a pain in the ass to try to summon while being viscously assaulted.

8:50, it's as much or as less a challange as the gamer wants, neither is right nor wrong. If you can one shot things, you've done the work to earn it.

the abyssal woods made my hair stand on end.

I know you just explained, you can parry the untouchable, but at Midar manse there is a torn page, the torn page may sound weird at first, but you read it carefully, it tells you, you can parried the aging untouchable. - When he thrust his staff at my face, I brush it aside and touch him again - lol dude parried them and poke them in the eye lol

Funny thing is when i seen the notes i was like "hmmm i wonder what it is" 😂😂😂

I just love how over the top Igon is.

Bit late I suppose but there are five or so boar's around the Scaduview Cross site of grace that have a small chance of dropping Empyrean Burgeons.

Actually you can another NPC who has a questline. If you find one of those friendly kindred of rot laying down you can kill them and then Moore will invade you and you can get his armor and shield.

Ooooooh!!! Amazing video!!!!

Please do list all the changes.

If you happen to be traveling at night, and are at a high ledge or peak preferably, look up to the sky and admire the moon. Interestingly, the tree has silver rays always pointing to the moon, maybe it's feeding from the moon's light??

The summoning NPC thing is almost certainly not true? When you summon your Mimic, you do it inside the boss arena, and it still gets the buff to its health and resistances. Why would that be any different for summoning NPCs in the boss arena? I’d want to see some definitive testing on this because from my anecdotal experience, it 100000% still buffs the bosses. They are about 50% tankier per summon or friend or NPC.

I did actually killed NPC Freya in the 7th floor of Messmer tower :(, it was a mistake tho, she got caught while monologing as I was fighting this fire monk.

Actually Moores quest is still doable if you trigger the shattering of the rune. Just don't give him an answer till you have all 6 books. Then give him an answer and after speak to him again and he will reward you the final page.

Wait can someone give more detail about what specifically triggers the breaking of the rune? I’m still annoyed I locked myself out of magic scorpion charm in the base game and I’m hoping I haven’t already done something similar in the dlc

Sure would have been nice if the game had given me any idea that I shouldn't approach the Shadow Keep... I only found out after it was too late that I missed out on a bunch of stuff, just because I was exploring.

Alexander gets summoned from inside the Fire Giant boss room. ✌🏻

In the base game you summon bunch of NPCs for the Radahn dude....

First one makes sense. Glad to know though. Otherwise you could get locked out of that area if you couldn’t get more furnace visage. At least that is my understanding. Could be wrong.

I pooped myself when torrent disappeared and i got a message that he was too scared. Although i do feel liek this area was meant to be bigger, or rather, have more content in it. But it seems oddly empty. Perhaps thats intentional. To add to the loneliness and anxiety feelings the zone induces.

What about the shield from Black Knights? I remember getting it, but is it now not possible to get or you get it somewhere else? Thanks for this video! It makes me sad that I can't kill Leda the Psychopath the moment I see here on my next playthrough tho. I THINK, summoning npc for quest once is enough. Because, dear lord, trying to summon anything while fighting any boss is close to impossible or will cost you at least a couple of flasks to recover. Also, I wish the rune breaking even was more clear, or tied to something else than exploring. The moment I started sniffin around Shadowkeep and saw the message, I knew I messed something up. No 7th cookbook from Moore for me :/

Yes i want full prepatch rundown

Opps...too late, I crossed the line at The Shadow Keep because I was trying to get the map fragment in Ruah (before I found the correct path)...hopefully, I haven't messed up this playthrough too badly.

I had the option to summon Jolan for Messmer. I picked Hornsent instead. What would that of changed in Jolan's questline?

Glad i done as much as i could before i broke the rune, i thought "that's looks like progression so ill do as much as i can before I go that way". Honestly tho i think souls games expect/want you to mess up most questlines first time round cos there's no way you're doing them without a guide, then go into new game + thinking "right, let's get all those things i missed, messed up"

u rock man

What about finding the coffin to dupe remembrance?

i'm reasonably certain the "winter lanterns" are called Aged Ones. At least going by the talisman echalon is pronounced "eh -shah -lon" by the way. not even as an old english thing, that's current

13:35 I’m so mad about this. It locked me out of so many npc quests. I was just exploring and I hit it. Actually makes me extremely frustrated because then I have no choice but to fight the end boss. And there’s no way to restart just the dlc. You have to restart your entire character and I have no interest in that. I 100% finished the main game with your help. This I missed so much because I crossed the line. So I’ll definitely have to watch and see everything I missed.

Items ahead therefore praise the message

idk maybe i just wasn't spooked by the abyssal woods at all, it just felt empty to me, although the 2nd half towards midra was cool
