I've done some research (One search on google) and what I could find is that Nanaya is the girl in the painting in that one loading screen, and that she can be found dead in Midra's Manse having Nanaya's torch on her corpse. A lot of people probably know this already lol
i reached bayle very early in my first playthrough of the dlc, got stubborn, and killed him without advancing igon's quest beyond the first time you see him near the ancient dragon man invasion. after i killed bayle, i went back and he was gone, and i found his stuff in the shadow keep lol. i had no idea what was up with him until my second go around
A run like this is really fun because, besides the obvious "Maternal Staff + Impenetrable Thorns go brrr" strat, the DLC alone provides a ton of really useful and strong weapons and strategies like the Falx you can really easily get from killing Hornsent, the Backhand Blades, Milady, Bloodfiend's Arm, Hand-to-hand weapons, Ashes of War like Carian Sovereignty, Flame Spear, and The Poison Flower Blooms Twice, and items like the Priestess Heart that gives a pretty considerable boost to an already really solid build. The DLC even gives us a bunch of items for meme runs like the Mantle of Thorns spell or the Lamenter's Mask.
@@malikhittam1440Yes, the Blue Balls run lol. However, I don't think it would be THAT difficult if you used the Endure Ash of War every time before casting the actual spell since the damage of the spell itself is honestly not that bad.
@@StanleyG23 I'm fine with it being easy. Skumnut usually does these types of degenerate runs. He makes them hilarious even if they're not challenging lol
It's so funny and awesome to me that the VA for Igon pretty much single-handedly has made that one of the most memorable NPCs in not only the FromSoft catalogue but any game really. I mean, he's so damn good that people actually enjoy summoning him for the boss. Obviously credit to the people that wrote the dialogue as well, but the delivery is just absolutely insane.
@ETBrooD there's still a fair bit of difference and skill needed to do VA over theatre acting. There's a lot of the voice stuff you learn for theatre that isn't applicable in a recording booth. A really good sound tech is an absolute necessity to give you the feedback necessary for a good performance. But for a first time VA that is extraordinary. (Source: I am classically trained in theatre, have acted professionally, have taken a short course in Voice recording techniques)
Hunter, are you ok? You just put out a video a few weeks ago… RKR glitch, summon a mimic tear, and drink a bottle of AG1 3 times if you’re being held hostage in Gino’s house.
When i did it it was 1v5. I wanted no help during my first playthrough. And man.,...... 1v5 was not easy. But I realized the best strat was to run and chip of small damage until everyone had used their heals and all the rot pots were used up. The fight took about 10 minutes
Something i noticed so fast on my first run on a str faith lightning build was the amount of bosses in water. Rellana, the dragons leading to Bayle, 2 of the 3 ghostflame dragons, 1 of the bears, Inquistor, Pustrecent Knight, Sunflower, Metyr. Unrelated to the video but watching Gino fight the Ghostflame Dragon made me realise that.
Overall, the bosses are generally *really* weak to elemental damage in some way or another. Magic is probably the "worst", but given how many buffs that shit has that's fine LOL
@@ETBrooD holy is still very viable in base game outside of Fortisaxx, Maliketh and Elden Beast. But if your using split damage its not even noticable. DLC nothing is that strong against holy besides the Dancing Lion, Avatar and both Bayle and Metyr are resistant to all elements. Putrescent, Gaius, Messmer (phase 2) and Radahn (phase 1) get nuked by holy and same goes with the Death Knights and Ghostflame Dragons. So holy is pretty "meta" in the dlc
I do think it’d be wonderfully diabolical if an ascension mod for the DLC made it so once you enter you can’t leave until you beat Messmer. It could have a warning added before starting the DLC that hints you’ll be on a “long voyage”, but I feel like it would emulate the trapped in Caelid feeling on a much larger scale
@@Cman04092 hmm, how about if you haven’t beat Godfrey when you enter the DLC you can’t leave till Messmer, but if you did beat Godfrey you can’t leave till you beat Radahn? Just for the sake of difficulty pacing, someone can access the DLC a little over halfway through their playthrough and if they couldn’t leave till they beat Radahn they’d either hit a wall and give up entirely or have to grind and level up so much they’ll be overpowered for most of the second half of the main game when they return. Messmer (with a few Scadutree blessings) is about as difficult as Mohg imho so it’d still require them to explore the DLC for the blessings before they’d typically be able to beat Messmer
@silasstryder oh fair point, I was only thinking from a story point, lol. Maybe make the mod push the dlc even further back, like fire giant or maliketh. Your plan would also work just fine as well tbh.
really sucks that you can't use whetblades because wing stance on the milady just elevates that weapon to a whole other level, both in visual elegance and power. the poise damage and chasing on the r2 is nuts, and the r1 combos into the r2 of the stance as long as you hold l2 the whole time. milady is easily my favourite weapon in the dlc, the moveset is so cool, the way r2s combo into r1s, with that being carried over to wing stance as well, plus how insane the scaling is on so many infusions, makes it one of the most versatile weapons in the game. i actually prefer the one handed moveset to the powerstanced one, the combos last longer and you get a cool jab on the running r2.
I HEREBY VOW. YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY! BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR AND I IGON, YOUR FEARS MADE FLESH. SOLID OF SCALE YOU MIGHT BE, FOUL DRAGON. BUT I WILL RIDDLE WITH HOLES YOUR ROTTEN HIDE, WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS!! WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING! NNNAAAAНННАА!!!!
Igon is top 10 souls characters of all time. Everyone thinks Kendrick Lamar is the biggest hater but they have nothing on a cowardly scavenger who is so pissed at drakes he refused to die and found his calling
I like these runs a lot better than the “no hit” runs. These are more fun to watch…. The “no hit” runs are like watching a Superman movie, like you already know Superman is invincible so it takes the excitement out of it.
Hey just for the future or any other challenge runs with the dlc, the Scadutree avatar enters a stance broken state when you kill it, because getting the critical hit reduces the next ones health by 25%. The mercy dagger talisman is really good for this fight.
tbh, I think the group-npc fight is pretty cool considering you can change who you will encounter and who assists you depending on the quests and decisions you make.
Hey Gino! Back when I completed the game, i didnt really get any motivation to play after getting all items in my first run. But you dropping so much content, I played more after that. This DLC series got me so crazy hyped ngl ❤
Messmer's eye thing is a seal on the Base Serpent within him placed by Marika because she was afraid of the danger it posed against the Erdtree. Thats why she abandoned him in the Shadow Realm as well.
I wanted to beat the DLC myself, then watch though all of the "first playthrough" streams before i moved onto these condensed edits. Now that im FINALLY finished and caught up, these really feel like a treat. Great stuff, man.
55:54 The thing that Mesmer removes is not an eye, it's a Merica's Scarseal. She put it in place to contain the "based serpent" that dwells inside him.
i truly consider gino's content to be the peak of elden ring content. something about the pure mastery and cold percision he has makes you excited to go play the game again and again. i will have this on before going to sleep thank you very much gino and hunter.
1:01:00 the thing is cuz it deals insane damage if the enemy is poisoned, that's why you use weapons like venomous fang which deals Lethal poison instead. which procs the poison blooms twice dmg to deal extra when enemies are poisoned.
Meteoric ore greatsword is the first weapon I completed the dlc with. Was very enjoyable and I love the aow on it. Learning the final boss fight with it was extremely challenging but rewarding and fun
17:00 Glad I'm not the only person experiencing this. Seems to happen whenever you do certain button inputs at the same time I guess? I always fix it by unplugging my controller and plugging it back in though.
The poison flower blooms twice gives scarlet rot if you hit them with the ash of war, it can be detonated like poison or just applied for the DoT. It gives you poison on the weapon and scarlet on ash of war, good for affliction builds
I love how Igon spends an entire MINUTE yapping about Bayle when summoned, but it's so funny how every line of dialogue he has is specifically to curse out a dragon.
1:01:22 Part of my first DLC playthrough used this ash of war and the poison infusion on the scorpion stinger rapier. Since the poison status was higher, I would often proc poison, skill burst, and then shortly after proc rot, and then do a second skill burst later.
I dont know if you know this but, the long range attack that the sunflower does where it shoots two lines of thorns at you. You can just jump over them when they activate. Love the content❤
fyi you can get the ice guy in enir ilim to walk off a cliff by aggroing him before you run into the room with the fragment, then hugging the left (left as you walk into the room, right side when you're in the room looking out) side of the room. he'll usually walk right off the ledge, then walk off another ledge that he falls to and dies. sometimes he'll slowly walk around the rooftops to you though so you probably want to memory of grace if he does.
I love your vids gino, your vids helped me beat the base game for the first time and i dont really watch amyone else just because your way of explaining things
Tip, you can avoid metyrs Lazer beam, you just stand close enough to not get hit by the dot area, right at its edge there's a gap between it and the spinning laze. Imagine two rings drawn one medium and one larger, the circle which makes up that gap is your safe sone.
1:55:28 ik when I was testing stuff out that Sword of Light/Sword of Darkness stacked with Sacred Order. I'm not sure about Golden Epitaph's Last Rite though
Damn, dude. I know part of it is that you're just an incredible player, but this run really made me realize how low my damage was. You're using only DLC items and finished off at about the same Shadow Tree Blessing, but your single hits were doing almost twice what mine were. Your ability to evade attacks is obviously much higher, but the build knowledge really caught me off guard. No wonder I struggled so much with the last boss! My R1s dealt about 650 damage compared to your 1400. That's a lot more time stuck in the arena trying to dodge flurries of blows. It wasn't the point of this video, but thanks for teaching me something pretty damn big.
I can definitely see some of the reasons why people don’t like the mother of fingers boss but I liked it so much. I used a milady and didn’t have any problems with the fight. The adds even though vaguely annoying, die in one hit and are super slow and low damaging. I have no idea how you’re meant to dodge the quasar attack (black hole laser one) but it only hits once and then isn’t much of a threat. Rest of the attacks seems super easy to punish. Definitely lmk your thoughts if y’all care to, but using a no summons no buffs milady build with poison flower blooms twice found it super fun
thought this was going to be the same as some of the other challenges like this ive seen, was absolutely shocked when you revealed that you have unupgraded flasks
Thanks to the controller that it didn't want to work, so I would never have seen Voicemeeter on your desktop. I love this audio program, and you make really cool videos
It was very clutch for me that they added the upgrade materials. I did mogh early and got into the dlc. I didn't have access to high level smithing or somber smithing stones. I wanted to do DLC before entering lyndell and locked myself to level100.
I've got a pretty interesting challenge for you: Beat Elden Ring as Sanji from One Piece Rule 1: you can only use your kicks to deal damage Rule 2: you have to complete all questlines given by women and you cannot damage or disrespect any of them. Rule 3: you can use summons, but only the ones that are confirmed to be women, like the jellyfish Rule 4: you must kill everyone that weilds a sword(including NPSs, but not including Melania) Rule 5: ashes of wars and spells can be used, but only if it doesn't deal damage I've tried this challenge myself but killing the Draconic Tree Sentinel seems impossible for me. For anyone who is willing to go through the living hell that is Sanji's life, I wish you good luck. Keep in mind that anything that isn't mentioned in the rules is fair game.
Try a no hit run except your goal is to beat the game alongside someone you know that hasn’t beaten Elden ring before (you need to be summoned into their game and help them complete their stages as well as your own)
gino, i have no idea if you read YT comments but metyrs big fuck you laser actually has a no mans land between the rotating beam and the aoe underneath her. you don't even have to roll to it, you can just stand there and buff stack or range her. sick video as always : )
There's currently a bug where if a boss has a status on them, like poison or rot, DLC Ashes of War will instantly cleanse the effect. Found out when helping people fight Rellana (to learn her moveset while earning runes ofc. I ain't a saint)
I don't quite know how to articulate why, but I think the Scadutree Avatars Tree Blast in its third phase might be my favorite boss attack in Elden Ring6
Rellana screams Boreal Dancer, to me. Not only do they have a flashy move style,but they also are a Dual Element Boss with a similar armor and color scheme.

It’s impossible to summon Igon and not crack a smile at his dialogue for the Bale fight. Just so epic
He is the embodiment of 3am motivation lol, felt like I could beat everything listening to him
He really is just Captain Ahab but instead of a whale it's a dragon. Honestly fantasy Moby Dick feels like a missed oppurtunity.
honestly. it feels wrong to fight Bayle without him lmaooo
stopped summoning him after like the 3rd time. hes so annoying
i reached bayle very early in my first playthrough of the dlc, got stubborn, and killed him without advancing igon's quest beyond the first time you see him near the ancient dragon man invasion. after i killed bayle, i went back and he was gone, and i found his stuff in the shadow keep lol. i had no idea what was up with him until my second go around

Those curved sword horned knights are literally open world bosses. Some of them killed me more times than actual bosses did
The bird warriors are worse and the beast warriors are the worst, but they're fun to fight once you get it down.
Their attacks are slow, so it's fun to guard counter them
They have more complex attacks than malenia and rellana lol. Plus hyperarmor and being always near edges of the buildings to knock you down
Infinite poise
The dual wielding ones are a great fight tho. And the swords they drop are really dope, it’s like a holy version of rykard’s greatsword
A run like this is really fun because, besides the obvious "Maternal Staff + Impenetrable Thorns go brrr" strat, the DLC alone provides a ton of really useful and strong weapons and strategies like the Falx you can really easily get from killing Hornsent, the Backhand Blades, Milady, Bloodfiend's Arm, Hand-to-hand weapons, Ashes of War like Carian Sovereignty, Flame Spear, and The Poison Flower Blooms Twice, and items like the Priestess Heart that gives a pretty considerable boost to an already really solid build.

Best thing in my opinion about backhand blades is that for how good they are in PVE it’s even better in PVP
The Skyrim Music behind your Voice is great 😊
Milady is my new favorite fromsoft weapon
I can definitely see some of the reasons why people don’t like the mother of fingers boss but I liked it so much. I used a milady and didn’t have any problems with the fight. The adds even though vaguely annoying, die in one hit and are super slow and low damaging. I have no idea how you’re meant to dodge the quasar attack (black hole laser one) but it only hits once and then isn’t much of a threat. Rest of the attacks seems super easy to punish.
Definitely lmk your thoughts if y’all care to, but using a no summons no buffs milady build with poison flower blooms twice found it super fun
I quite liked it as well, but I agree, the quasar attack (first rotation) is BS
thought this was going to be the same as some of the other challenges like this ive seen, was absolutely shocked when you revealed that you have unupgraded flasks
These runs are awesome ngl

"Here comes the sun do do doo:🎵🎶
that 1 hp Messmer kill was insane
36:07 mount up and use flail to do charge attack, can break the Furnace Golem's stance very quickly
Thanks to the controller that it didn't want to work, so I would never have seen Voicemeeter on your desktop. I love this audio program, and you make really cool videos
It was very clutch for me that they added the upgrade materials. I did mogh early and got into the dlc. I didn't have access to high level smithing or somber smithing stones. I wanted to do DLC before entering lyndell and locked myself to level100.
I love flame spear so much it's my new fav AoW
Blind spot on backhand blade with cold infusion carried me through my first DLC playthrough.
I've got a pretty interesting challenge for you: Beat Elden Ring as Sanji from One Piece
Rule 1: you can only use your kicks to deal damage
Rule 2: you have to complete all questlines given by women and you cannot damage or disrespect any of them.
Rule 3: you can use summons, but only the ones that are confirmed to be women, like the jellyfish
Rule 4: you must kill everyone that weilds a sword(including NPSs, but not including Melania)
Rule 5: ashes of wars and spells can be used, but only if it doesn't deal damage
I've tried this challenge myself but killing the Draconic Tree Sentinel seems impossible for me.
For anyone who is willing to go through the living hell that is Sanji's life, I wish you good luck. Keep in mind that anything that isn't mentioned in the rules is fair game.
I'm in love with Gino's chuckle.
Video idea: "Elden Ring but it's only chuckles"? (no homo)
editor needs a raise, soooooo much content to edit
"How did that sword get in his head?"
That's Nanaya business, dude
This NPC fight is just something else. I am still scarred from my first playthrough where I accidentally locked myself into 1v5 fight. GOTY 10/10.
Let's goo it's here! Thanks for the hard work Hunter
Even more proof the DLC is actually a new game added to the previous one. Glorious !
Messmer literally saying he’s gonna kill him
Gino: 😆
Try a no hit run except your goal is to beat the game alongside someone you know that hasn’t beaten Elden ring before (you need to be summoned into their game and help them complete their stages as well as your own)
gino, i have no idea if you read YT comments but metyrs big fuck you laser actually has a no mans land between the rotating beam and the aoe underneath her. you don't even have to roll to it, you can just stand there and buff stack or range her. sick video as always : )
Igon's Voice actor need a fuckin raise Bro i dont Care How much He is already making he needs a raise
I agree I thought it was weird to receive so many upgrade materials, but now it makes a little more sense. I want to play the dlc at level 1 as well.
The bosses are a huge step up from the base game
Promised Consort Radahn is an exception to this
cancel the whole run he had 4 talisman slots unbelievable, thats getting a subscribe
There's currently a bug where if a boss has a status on them, like poison or rot, DLC Ashes of War will instantly cleanse the effect. Found out when helping people fight Rellana (to learn her moveset while earning runes ofc. I ain't a saint)
I don't quite know how to articulate why, but I think the Scadutree Avatars Tree Blast in its third phase might be my favorite boss attack in Elden Ring6
Rellana screams Boreal Dancer, to me. Not only do they have a flashy move style,but they also are a Dual Element Boss with a similar armor and color scheme.
The big bosses „missing“ 99% of there moves and the little guy atacks do no damage. This is cinema
