Introduction
Welcome back to our comprehensive walkthrough of Elden Ring! In this episode, we dive into the lower region known as the Weeping Peninsula, a part of the southern limb grave. We’ll start our journey from the Church of Pilgrimage, exploring this stunning yet treacherous area, collecting treasures, encountering formidable enemies, and gathering essential items for our adventures. Prepare your spells and weapons as we navigate through catacombs, tackle bosses, and uncover legendary summons that will aid our quest!
Overview of the Weeping Peninsula
The Weeping Peninsula is rich in lore and plentiful with adventures for new and seasoned players alike. Here’s what we’re going to cover:
- Acquiring a legendary summon for spellcasters
- Exploring the Tombsword Catacombs
- Discovering the Rancor Pot recipe
- Tips for defeating skeletons and bosses
- Managing your flasks and health items
- Essential items and talismans to collect
Legendary Summon for Spellcasters
For all my spellcasters out there, our first stop in this episode is to pick up a legendary summon. Legendary summons are crucial for gameplay since they consume over 100 FP, which is particularly beneficial for casters who can regenerate FP effectively.
Finding the Summon
To find the legendary summon:
- Enter the Tombsword Catacombs
- Note: The skeleton enemies here can be tricky unless you have a weapon with a holy enchantment.
- Use the holy weapon to defeat the skeletons quickly; avoid taking unnecessary damage.
- Collect the Rancor Pot recipe, which allows you to create spirits that will attack enemies.
Tip: Always look for items like trunks and hidden doors within catacombs as many treasures are tucked away from plain sight.
Exploring the Tombsword Catacombs
The catacombs house various enemies and items. Here’s how to effectively navigate this area:
- Use Sacred Blade: Equip it to prevent skeletons from respawning; this spell is invaluable here.
- Watch the Elevators: Catacombs are notorious for their elevators and hidden floors. Don't hesitate to jump onto every one you see.
Best Practices in Catacombs
- Always restore your flasks before a boss fight.
- Look out for the Stake of America to easily respawn if you fall in battle.
- Utilize jumping heavy attacks against groups of enemies for maximum damage.
Managing Health and Flasks
As you venture deeper, health management becomes crucial:
- Flask Management: Ensure to restock your healing flasks frequently at sites of grace.
- Wondrous Physick: Customize your Physick with items that enhance stamina and HP restoration. This will prepare you for tougher enemies that can inflict heavy damage.
Suggested Combinations for Physick
- Opaline Bubble Tear: Gives a bubble that absorbs damage from a single attack.
- Crimson Burst Crystal Tear: Offers steady health restoration over time.
Essential Items and Talismans
While traversing the Weeping Peninsula, keep an eye out for important items that can enhance your build:
- Radigan's Scar Seal: Provides boosts to various stats at the cost of damage negation. This is particularly effective for melee and hybrid builds.
- Great Turtle Shell Shield: Excellent guard boost for players preferring a defensive playstyle.
How to Acquire Key Items
- The Bladed Talisman can be obtained from the giant nearby that boosts attack power over time. Be cautious, as it requires taking down a tough enemy.
Note: Prioritize collecting talismans that synergize with your build to maximize effectiveness in battles.
Conclusion
We’ve covered a lot in this episode - from navigating through the Weeping Peninsula to discovering crucial items and taking on the notorious skeletons in the catacombs. Don’t forget to collect the legendary summon, manage your health through flasks, and equip valuable talismans for your journey. Make sure to tune in for the next episode as we delve deeper, exploring the remaining areas and continuing our quest in Elden Ring! Until next time, happy gaming!
what is happening y'all welcome on back to the walkthrough so episode 8 is going to be focused on this lower region now
this is technically considered southern limb grave but in particular when you enter this region uh the map you find
calls it the weeping peninsula so that's what we're going to be referring to next but we're starting things off from the
church of pilgrimage we're basically just going to work our way around hitting everything that we need to here
and the first thing we're going to hit which will be especially nice for my uh for my spellboys out there we are going
to go pick you up a legendary summon now the reason i'm saying for my spellboys is because all the legendary summons
cost over 100 fp uh which is pretty steep you know it's it's more than you're probably going to
towards the late game it might be worth getting fp for those but early game you're just not going to
have it whereas a caster who needs they need that fp to cast uh they most likely will have it but either way into tombs
i think i think this is a skelly one put that on yeah it's a scaly one okay uh so right here another stoneware door
behind this is gonna be a recipe for something called the rancor pot and what the raincore pot does is it it
creates little spirits that will go and attack stuff so if you want to throw out it's like a
fire pot but it creates little darkness spirits um you know if you want that that's on y'all i'm not gonna
you know i'm not gonna get it i'm never gonna use that item there are other things i would rather use my keys for
but i'm gonna let you know what's there that's what we got to get to is that thing
for those that are confused about how we are killing all the skeletons instantly we're using a weapon
that has a holy enchantment on it now we pick this holy enchant up i want to say it was back in episode 2 that we
you know no more respawning skeletons but if you don't have that make sure you whack them under on the ground like that
i'm gonna wait till we're in a room with more skellies to use because i'm running out uh which on the note of using weapon
arts so if you look on the left just above where my flasks and everything are you'll notice it says sacred blade
the fact that you can see it like that means that i have enough fp to still use it now right here i'm going to do a
sacrifice and you can see how now it's kind of faded out and there is a line through it when you see that you no
longer have enough to cast it again so if i want to do any more oh no no there we go we got it okay that
time you're stuck in one of these tombs if you've been exploring on your own or you're not sure
knock them down and then ride them up or the alternative which you'll also see a lot is
elevators where you jump on them and they start going up and below the elevator there's actually
oh my goodness i did not come all the way down here to dive to some skeletons you all need to go away
now that the boss is down i'm not the boss excuse me now that we got a all the skelly's down
you know i'll be fine if i die uh usually in these these catacombs um there's a stake stake america so when
we go into the boss fight if we do end up dying because we didn't have our summon you spawn right here you don't
bleed is scary this is exactly why i picked this up a weapon that has bleed well you can just
um and it's good it's really good to be honest i would not be surprised if bleed ends up getting a nerf
um i mean it's really strong it is really really strong but i don't know we'll see
what happens hopefully they don't nerf it too bad i feel like they're going to just because it's too strong
but just to show off the guy we just got uh where'd he go here we go little headless as you can see 104 fp cost
which we only have 68. uh he's decent he has he has a beefy great [ __ ] along with the spear he can throw the spirit enemy
so a little bit of range combat a little bit of melee combat uh if you are playing a caster this is
probably going to be uh the best summon you'll have access to for a while so i would suggest just just
roll with him you know there's there's a lot of summons and there's a lot of variety out
there but it's going to be really hard to beat the legendary summons and especially if you're playing as a caster
and you need something up front you're not going to find anything to compare that for a while
so we have a stake which is the only reason we're going after this guy even though we're we're already you know
thing you really need to look out for well actually there's two there's there's the jump butt slam that can hurt
and then they also have an attack where they will summon up uh like a bunch of holy lasers in the sky and those will
shoot down at you so just be aware of those two um also the stuff that they shoot will go right through the pots so
definitely uh be aware of what they're doing but otherwise these guys aren't bad and
they they're definitely they're worth doing you're gonna get a bunch of souls from them
um and on top of that probably the more important thing is killing these guys are how we get
crystal tear both of those are fantastic uh so we are going to head back on over to the church there's a couple things
nothing really of value i think there's like a shield you can grab but it's crap a couple different enemies that are just
kind of hanging around i think it's right up here sanctuary stone where's the shield i
thought it was a shield i grabbed when i was out here that's not a very good shield either way
uh so let's work back over to the church we're gonna replenish some stuff and we're gonna change up our
so when it comes to your flask uh excuse me not your flask your wondrous physic this is this is purely
going to be preference um i really like these two for a melee build because extra stamina is going to be great and
the extra boost to the charge attack i like a lot but the two we just picked up are fantastic for general use this is
going to be a good steady hp restore which is going to help a lot if you're in areas that have poison and the
opaline bubble tier is one of the most broken things in the game i like this a lot i'll put this on just to showcase it
um but it'll give you a bubble around your character that serves as a shield and it will
almost completely negate the damage out from any single attack now this is important because it's going
the dreaded massive world ending you know death flare or if it's a thief that threw a knife at
you it's gonna tank one attack and then it's gonna break now this can either be really op
or it can be kind of dooky and it's really gonna come down to how you use it so just wanted to put that out there you
right hands these guys are dicks uh there's that one and there's another one that's just turned around trying to
lure him in but be very careful around these holes uh these ones aren't too bad but later
so he's gonna fire off those explosive bolts but it's gonna be like you're gonna see a volley of them come
your way and you're probably gonna die so uh yeah do not like those you can get them as a summon too
there's like almost everything you find in the game with the exception of like a dragon as a summon
so what we just picked up excellent excellent excellent early faith weapon for my faith boys out there
16 16 and 24 faith has blood loss build up the unique ability stops enemies from using the flask of tears which obviously
is good mainly in pvp but pve as well if you're fighting against a pve invader it'll stop their
ability to back up and heal so all around that's a solid weapon i used that weapon uh from when i got it pretty much
all the way to the end of the game can't go wrong with that now up until now we have been saving the
majority of our keys but this is one we're definitely going to want to get absolutely fantastic item in here
i can't wait to get my hands on let me pop this you can see that bubble i have and like
you know you can see right there that should have been a double hit instead only one of the hits got me
but i had uh you know in a lot of the tubes like that area that's at the start of the game
where i said we're not going to do this for now there's a couple of those quite a few of them where you go inside
there's radigan scar seal and maricopa scar seal uh the america is more of a caster bearing so what this thing is is
bunch of attributes so we're getting three to figure three to endurance three to strength and three to dexterity but
it's going to decrease our damage negation so you can see where we're like you know 24 19 23 23 17 27 you can see
all of those are going to get decreased so we're going to be into the negatives with lightning
but i mean we're getting 12 free stat points for it so to me that's that's a huge value yet um
you know i will gladly take more damage in exchange for having that many stats and later there's even a
there's an upgraded version of it where you get five to each of those stats so take more damage but get 20 free stats
which is outrageous especially for a build like this you know the quality build like those are four stats that i
i'm gonna end up taking that off just because you know i don't want to take more damage and my stats will be at a
spot where they're healthy but right now early on that is a absolute huge value pick and even though you're going to
take more damage i think it's worth it because it'll give you practice rolling which is
right there as you can see how he's like multi-hit combo and the dude will fire off both arrows uh they can also do that
in melee so if you're not careful these dudes and they just go off on you and they play the cowboy bebop opening theme
um down in here this is our sorceress friend that we met earlier uh this is like her real body the one
over there is basically an astral projection we get ambush shard you can't do anything with her right now she's
just gonna talk about you know you frothing degenerates you're not gonna be able to stop me
just heal through it uh she has a long quest line but it's it's much much later in the
game that we're gonna end up doing it so i wouldn't worry about that for the time being
uh let's see every jail we got the church in the tier south for ruins and ambushard selin
just marking their locations on the map uh you know there's there's really no reason to come to those for the time
being so these are gonna allow you to duplicate boss things so just pick an icon that you think
means like treasure or something or we'll do this because it's like a very unique thing
and just leave a marker for them and that way you know oh hey that's right i gotta you know i got a spare boss thing
down there i can duplicate next we're gonna run on up this hill uh we're going right on over to here and
then that'll basically cover all of the western stuff out here and then we go to the east
uh ortiz's rise and those catacombs crater parked glove and a tower with a hamballista earthport cave demi humans
wanna kill this guy and then you're gonna hit this chest and you're about to receive one of the
biggest oh my god moments of this game but you teleport landale the royal capital and you're like huh where am i
and it just gets bigger every like i said every time you find a new spot on their map and you're like there's more
it gets bigger now this giant has a lot of health uh just to put things into perspective limb
grave is the first zone after that i would recommend that you do most of the ernia basically like everything below
where i'm drawing a line then we go over here and we do a bunch of stuff in caleb basically the lower
caleb stuff we're going to do all the lower caleb stuff then we go back and we do the upper of the ernia and then the
upper calid and then we go into the capital so we're not actually going to come to this area
for quite some time but we can get a talisman that'll heal hp over time which i personally don't use because the the
heal on it's kind of low but i'm sure a lot of people are going to want it if you really want to kill this guy and
you can do the same strap that i've showed you until now just two charged heavies on the legs getting critical but
he just has a lot of health it's going to take a while to take him down and honestly it's not really worth it so
just go on get your blessed talisman uh and then why didn't talk about the needle how could i forget uh so earlier
we picked this up uh with this you can alter garments so with the vagabond night armor i can decide to take the
cape off if i want uh that's that's the whole thing with it basically any armor that has capes you can choose to take
this is our first real puzzle tower i know i took y'all to one of these earlier and uh i mean i was just like
yeah hop in this window and solve it bing bang boom it's done um but these this is like what they're
usually like that one you know you go over there and see seek three wise beasts and now we need to go around and
find wise beasts and this one it gives you a freebie this one right here uh after that the next one is hiding in
going to go in here and it's going to give you a memory slot so for my casters out there
i don't know if i can even get onto it it looks like a spot that might have some loot let me just take just just a
it's a cookbook oh the great turtle shell yeah i found that in the let's play that would have
been terrible if i'd forgotten to grab that for y'all great turtle shell is super super good
and come back with a follow-up attack so really really solid choice so now we're going to head up here to do
um there's a little fight that goes down here not much comes of it but it's kind of like a unique dude so we'll just kill
him real fast okay after that follow this path around we need to go pick up a longbow from the
town actually you know what there's a really decent bow we get does partial magic damage a little bit i
and i'll probably do a little bit more on uh decks and strength just to start meeting requirements for other
almost every attack is gonna bounce off so you know you put it on a great shield and stuff really bounces off
active there are already disappeared but i'll point it out next time our hud shows up which is
seemingly only in combat run straight over here on this trap otherwise it'll throw you up into the
these guys are really slow and they don't seem dangerous but if you wait uh they will group up and they'll grab
onto you and uh be like that so don't don't underestimate them just because they're
find something that looks like a cute fluffy bunny rabbit and then it explodes and bites your face off and then all of
a sudden you're like what happened i'm not getting a ton of souls off of them though so i'm not gonna sit here
and kill every single one of them as you can see they're just gonna keep coming so it's one of those things we
man that is a lot to fit into this episode i'm gonna do it all oh and pet cat i think i've seen that
one before uh feline intelligence 2. there's a couple of those there's impedcat there's
one that increases stamina uh there's i've so i've seen that one now i've seen stamina i have seen
fantastic the jellyfish is distracting it's just distracting the stuff i don't need it to distract
this is what i get for nah i should have healed up and i should have pulled out my real size
to wrap this there's too much to fit unless i want to start doing hour-long episodes which i would prefer not to
so good chunk of this area left real fast just to take a look at the summon that we just picked up
this one's pretty nice costs 69 but uh five different spirits and you know there's a big one there's some
they kind of just sit there they don't really do much uh this summons up a whole gang of people and they are ready
to throw down so i can personally vouch for this one i haven't tried this one but in general i
find uh soldier spirits are very hit or miss so i'm gonna go put a level into this one we'll see how they stack up
against our skellies because that is within my range of something i can cast so we're gonna wrap things up here
