I’m loving this walk through, you helped me get through my first Elden ring playthrough and I watched your let’s play during/after Covid. I’m so glad I get to do it again and have your videos to guide me cowboy. I just wanna say thank you and that I appreciate your work and tolerance for the bafoons who are whining.
The Storehouse is one of my favorite all time areas in any Fromsoft game. Absolutely love the puzzles and the fact you keep coming back to it for more loot. That one fire knight though ugh. Iykyk 😊
If you are not getting the summon signs you may have missed additional dialog with Leda. Go back to her and finish talking to her and then they shoukd appear! Worked for me!
You can actually get the revered spirit ashes in the specimen room just by jumping up onto the table and onto the specimen, no need to drop from the feet
Nice job. I spent a lot of time in this area looking for things. The item on the skeleton on the first floor can be reached by climbing the bookshelf near it, so no need to drop down.
I tested Spirit Summons with the knights at 3:30, and guess what? Ornis caused a bleed proc on both and completely MURKED the Black Knights! Ana and Jolan also went a bit crazy, but I had no idea Ornis could cause bleed with his weapons.
In my playthrough i happened to save and quit near the dead furnace golem to the right of the entrance of the shadow keep and when i logged back in the next day i was standing by the grace in the water way. Not sure how i glitched myself down there but it was neat.
To get the revered spirit ash, there's a way to jump down onto the book cases and just do a few basic run and jumps to get it also. 🤷♂️ I'm just throwing it out there.
Shadow Keep is a masterpiece in a game that already has a few masterpiece dungeons. In the past something this large would have been a whole game. It feels like half the size of The Old Hunters.
I farmed the Fire Knight and in about 20 minutes eating silver horn or silver toe foots and there's a helm that brings discovery up I came away with 2 greatswords, 2 helms, the armor and leggings. Yes, definitely a good farm spot.
Come on, just release the next part of shadow keep today. It's the weekend Edit: he released it! Fantastic. Best walkthrough channel in the history of YT
28:41. It doesn’t matter at this point, but you can pick this up right as you walk in or by jumping on the bookcases. Just jump on the cinder blocks near the corner of that.
So 28:37 you can actually jump up at the first floor grace grab that item. Not a big deal but better than dropping from the feet then running all the way back up.
I was gonna mention that you missed a set of armor by those rune bears, but I figured you would eventually get back to picking it up so I didnt mention it.
There's so much more here that wasn't talked about. There is an entire floor I can't access that have items. And there is also a ladder going inside a bookshelf that has one fire knight standing on the ledge. If you look at the very top at the ceiling beams, there's also a ledge with another ladder that continues to go up. I have NO idea how to get up that high
I go back and forth witch weapon I like better between tge backhand blades and Milady. Both are so fun. I'm still ticked the dancer blades aren't better. Coolest looking weapon in the game.
Only way to get talismans from Leda is helping her. Both buffs 20%. 1 is amazing for backhand blades. Dash atks. Other is too but it's after rolling or backstepping. 20% buffs are rare.
In the warehouse were more loots. Like the hidden room u can see on the right site behind the first grace. (Not solved yet how to come there) and the purple shiny loot on the head feom the statue u jumper from the feeds side. (Not solved yet how to get it.)
And siding with Leda both times gets you two talismans, Hornsents armor and weapon, and Ansbachs armor and bow. You miss out on Ledas rune and the swift slash ash of war.
It took me 20 minutes to farm the fire daggers. Something happened when I shut it off and reset to the second before I got them so I had to farm for another 10 minutes to get them. The sword I got quick
he uses a fire ash of war, when activated the backhand blades get covered in fire, the ash of war is called flaming strike you can youtube how to get it.
So I'm not sure why, but those "Feet" you jump on twice, well they are nowhere near any railing let alone close enough to anything where I can jump on them, is there something I missed that moves them or anything?! please help! Thanks!
Why don't you also put on the Silver Scarab talisman when you're trying to get drops? Does it not work with those Silver Horn Tenders? And could you also use a Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot to pump your Discovery higher? You might get better results combining all those things.
i've gone ahead alot but i still haven't killed messmer, but i don't see the 2 summon signs for leda and hornsent, is this opportunity completely missed and i can't do it unless i start a new save or ng+?
Go back and talk to Leda again and make sure she says "the black keep" at the end of her dialog and the signs will be there. THat is what fixed it for me.
Dammit i didnt know about the questline and i already beat messmer. Had no clue you could choose Leda or hornsent..... I hate it sometimes how easy it is to miss this cool stuff. I guess im just locked out of that until my next playthrough?
I completed all of this, but can't get invaded after drinking all the nectar from St. T. I wish the A.I. was smarter in this game, but it's still one of my favorites.
I don’t see the summon signs, I did already start the Messmer fight but I died, do I lose the opportunity if I don’t get it before starting that fight?
Serious question: how In the Hell did they ever see the St Trina sword be a valid option to fight... the idea is supercool. So is the way visual part. But in practice its a death sentence really.... or am i missing out on a special moveset and armour ash of war type thinymegig....😮
11:07 the summon sign isn't there for me oh god what did I do wrong, wonder if it was because I got Freya and Hornsent to fight the golden hippo with me
FYI, Main Gate Plaza's site of grace is glitched. If you exit and load the game from there, you just die and lose your all your runes and can't recover them
What if we don't assist Hornset or Leda? We miss out on the ash of War only or do more bad things happen ? I can't decide I've been stuck on this decision forever now :c
If you two hand the weapon it becomes duel wield. It works with several of the DLC weapons. Off the top of my head; back hand blades, the boss light great swords, the martial arts.
The Obsidian Lamina. He drops it after final boss. If you assist Leda in the fight, I believe he only drops armor & longbow. If he’s outside battle arena after final boss fight, you’ll get it then. I sided with Hornsent & still got it.
@@FightinCowboy Part 2 of my question .. Can I still get Ledas Sword if I help Hornsent? Or will I end up getting both npcs weapons at the end no matter what?
It’s the Haligtree Crest Shield. It can be farmed only from the knight next to the church at the bottom of the Haligtree. If you go to Haligtree Roots grace, up the elevator and out the church door, then curve around the building to the right, the night will be squatting down against the side of the building. You can also start from Deeproot Depths and use the vines to work your way down through the hole atop the church and out the door or drop directly into the graveyard. This is the church with the pest fuckers and the graveyard divided into nights on one side and pests on the other. It has a 4% base drop, so pump up your item discovery
@@FreshGanesh Or you can go from the drainage grace, run towards the church, and drop off the top the church right to him. It took me like 20 mins to get the shield from him.
The easiest way to get the sword is to use knight's lightning spear incantation to kill the fire knight entirely. This gave me the sword in 1st attempt. Cheese.
Haligtree Crest shield. I gave directions in a later comment here, but it can only be farmed at the church with the graveyards at the base of the Haligtree. The armor is the Tree Sentinel set from base game.
You don't have to assist any of them now. Wait and help ansbach when later in the keep. You want Ansbach for the last boss. You het rid of his juicy scythe if you assist Leda against him. But you can just let the first invasion go. You do not have to do anything.

When you're waiting for one episode but you get four instead 🎉🎉
I sometimes wonder if CB ever sleeps 😅 Thank you CB you're a legend!!

You gotta watch his “let’s plays” 🤣

That Fire Knight Greatsword is a babe. Doing Faith/Strength, fully upgraded with Crucible Wings and made it Sacred...shreds
I'm still trying to get it to drop lol got all his armor mfer just wont drop that sword ... I'll farm it after i beat messmer....
@@chrono050 Took me about 45 mins even as arcane build, ~75 arcane. Low drop chance sadly.
I was lucky then it only took me 8 attempts killing this fire knight to get the drop
My god that whole river area plus a whole map fragment hidden behind a false wall…
If you are not getting the summon signs you may have missed additional dialog with Leda. Go back to her and finish talking to her and then they shoukd appear! Worked for me!
Spot on, thanks man!
my favorite part of these videos is seeing how the comments section can endlessly churn out bizarre spelling permutations of "Scadutree"
You can actually get the revered spirit ashes in the specimen room just by jumping up onto the table and onto the specimen, no need to drop from the feet

Thank you for what you do man because of your help ive had the most amazing gaming experience ive had in a long time!!!
The main gauche in your left hand has incredible parry windows HIGHLY recommend
FYI you can get the revered spirt ash from jumping up the tablets on the floor by the grace. You don't have to drop from the feet.
The amount of time and effort you put into your videos is amazing!! Thank you for your work brother
slightly south of grace Ravine North there is a beetle that drops an ash of war called the poison flower blooms twice.

20:32 at the storehouse first floor, you have a Revered Spirit ash on top of the big statue right infront of grace
I guess I had to go back and talk to needle night Leda at high road cross, all good now
Got the fire knights sword after about 20 runs. Really enjoying the weapon with my faith/str build
I was gonna mention that you missed a set of armor by those rune bears, but I figured you would eventually get back to picking it up so I didnt mention it.
Wild to me that about 1/5 of the map is “locked” behind an illusory wall 😂 FromSoft never change please
Literally could not figure out where to go after messmer. Thanks
the fire knights armor set looks so good with the helm, gauntlets and greaves of night
There's so much more here that wasn't talked about. There is an entire floor I can't access that have items. And there is also a ladder going inside a bookshelf that has one fire knight standing on the ledge. If you look at the very top at the ceiling beams, there's also a ledge with another ladder that continues to go up. I have NO idea how to get up that high
Im having the same issue
So, idk if its just me, but do yall see a purple item in the beard of the guy we run up. the "feet" one at 28:42
We get it later
I go back and forth witch weapon I like better between tge backhand blades and Milady. Both are so fun. I'm still ticked the dancer blades aren't better. Coolest looking weapon in the game.
Only way to get talismans from Leda is helping her. Both buffs 20%. 1 is amazing for backhand blades. Dash atks. Other is too but it's after rolling or backstepping. 20% buffs are rare.
True but is it worth sacrificing all the other stuff for on a first run? I don't think so
Why are you walking around with 4 million runes 😅
He's staying in level 200 for pvp reason
In the warehouse were more loots. Like the hidden room u can see on the right site behind the first grace. (Not solved yet how to come there) and the purple shiny loot on the head feom the statue u jumper from the feeds side. (Not solved yet how to get it.)
And you miss out on Leda's fear which her set buffs dash attacks which can make your backhands even deadlier
I’ve followed everything from the beginning of this walkthrough and those summons signs for the npcs are not showing, hornset and needle lady
then you didnt follow everything
same for me
Rest at the grace where Leda is (outside castle Ensis) that's fixed the problem for me
ive rested at the grace where leda is but still no summon signs. please someone help
@@taiwotolulope3796 Go back anmd talk to Leda again, you may not have finished her dialogue.
This was my favorite part of the dlc!
What ash of war is he using on the backhand blades?
And siding with Leda both times gets you two talismans, Hornsents armor and weapon, and Ansbachs armor and bow. You miss out on Ledas rune and the swift slash ash of war.
You also miss out on ansbachs weapons and incantation, and he won't be available as a summon later. Trust the process
What a fun area, best in DLC so far.
It took me 20 minutes to farm the fire daggers. Something happened when I shut it off and reset to the second before I got them so I had to farm for another 10 minutes to get them. The sword I got quick
Main Gauche. Pronounced "Man GO-sh" (as in French for "Left" or awkward) literally means Left Hand. It's an offhand parrying dagger.
So if u didnt see the summon signs at the start like me and progressed through the shadow keep u will still have the summon in messmer fight
Hey Cowboy- how did you set up your backhand blade so that it's coated in flame?
he uses a fire ash of war, when activated the backhand blades get covered in fire, the ash of war is called flaming strike you can youtube how to get it.
The back hand blades are low-key homage to the Sell sword twin blades
So I'm not sure why, but those "Feet" you jump on twice, well they are nowhere near any railing let alone close enough to anything where I can jump on them, is there something I missed that moves them or anything?! please help! Thanks!
Why don't you also put on the Silver Scarab talisman when you're trying to get drops? Does it not work with those Silver Horn Tenders? And could you also use a Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot to pump your Discovery higher? You might get better results combining all those things.
I'm pretty sure he knows, he farmed the sword offscreen and already got it in the next episode. Also you can't stack the fowl foot with horn tender.
@@wzx6x6z6w I didn't know you couldn't use Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot with Silver Horn Tender. Good to know.
Miyazaki is the Tarantino of souls games @28:27.
U gonna have to go back thru some vids and double back
@chefboi5809 I ended up finding the spirit ash I missed thankfully.
i've gone ahead alot but i still haven't killed messmer, but i don't see the 2 summon signs for leda and hornsent, is this opportunity completely missed and i can't do it unless i start a new save or ng+?

You have 7 lv revered ashes I only have 6 by the end of this video did I miss something?
same here! trying to figure out which one i missed along the way : (
Man where can I get some Rune arcs bro I’ve bought them all from every merchant possible, but seem to always run out.
I think that if you use the fingers and invade other player´s worlds and defeat them you get rune arcs
Pvp and co-op
@@FightinCowboy gotcha thank you 🤠
Also farm rats they drop them still even after all the patches 👍👊
Dammit i didnt know about the questline and i already beat messmer. Had no clue you could choose Leda or hornsent..... I hate it sometimes how easy it is to miss this cool stuff. I guess im just locked out of that until my next playthrough?
I completed all of this, but can't get invaded after drinking all the nectar from St. T. I wish the A.I. was smarter in this game, but it's still one of my favorites.
Try speaking to thollier some more
So, quick question can you go back after you touch the hand? I haven't played the dlc yet.
Yes you can, anytime.
I got the fire knight great sword what’s best ash of war to go with it ?
I don’t see the summon signs, I did already start the Messmer fight but I died, do I lose the opportunity if I don’t get it before starting that fight?
Serious question: how In the Hell did they ever see the St Trina sword be a valid option to fight... the idea is supercool. So is the way visual part. But in practice its a death sentence really.... or am i missing out on a special moveset and armour ash of war type thinymegig....😮
11:07 the summon sign isn't there for me oh god what did I do wrong, wonder if it was because I got Freya and Hornsent to fight the golden hippo with me
Is there anyway to be able to have the summon options again if you already beat messmer? Totally missed this 😩
Ps plus and have a friend you can get both quest item thats how i get my magic and weapons
FYI, Main Gate Plaza's site of grace is glitched. If you exit and load the game from there, you just die and lose your all your runes and can't recover them
Still happens. Lost over a million runes. See your comment after it happened.
As soon as you said “Two Furnace Golems” I asked myself “Do I really need to finish this game?”
They make the game just not fun to play.
I do not have choice of summons on the ground,nothing there. What did I do wrong??
Did you already enter the Mesmer boss room? They disappear after you enter
There not there for me either and I haven’t entered the bosses room haven’t even made it that far
What if we don't assist Hornset or Leda? We miss out on the ash of War only or do more bad things happen ? I can't decide I've been stuck on this decision forever now :c
You miss an ash or a talisman depending on which you side with, not picking a side means you miss out on both
@@FightinCowboy Thank youuuu! I ended up doing what you did and siding with Hornset, thank you so much for your videos you rock ! 🫶🏻

What have i done wrong!!?? 😢😢😢
What's the point in keeping all the runes?
Another amazing video thanks again cb
How did you get 2 backhand blades to dual wield them. I thought there was only one.
If you two hand the weapon it becomes duel wield. It works with several of the DLC weapons. Off the top of my head; back hand blades, the boss light great swords, the martial arts.
they're two-handed by default. Just two hand the one you have and presto magical two swords.
I goofed and went ahead and got mesmer. Does that make it so i cant fight Leda?
yeah I did that too. It ends hornsent's questline
@@ashwina.vardhan5831 I did that as well, does that mean I can no longer get hornsent´s weapon?

Got that and the shortsword within 5 minutes of walking through
By assisting Hornsent here, can you still get Ansbach's scythe later?
The Obsidian Lamina. He drops it after final boss. If you assist Leda in the fight, I believe he only drops armor & longbow. If he’s outside battle arena after final boss fight, you’ll get it then.
I sided with Hornsent & still got it.
