Miquella's Great Rune can be used during a battle with PCR to undo the effect of his Grab attack.

'The entrance to that region of the map isnt in this region of the map'

To get this, you need to cure one of the Pests. Few have fully completed Moore's quest.

The Jolan and Anna summon?

The Stone-Sheathed Sword altar hidden in Fog Rift catacombs.

Most people use the ones in Rauh and Recluses River. The catacomb one is very well hidden, it’s behind 2 secrets, and given the first one has a reward (blink bolt ash) people assume that’s all that’s there.

My guess you'd need to summon/something to get a special dialog scene. Like with the >!Jellyfish!<

I've been there (I believe) but didn't think much of it. Are there any ghosts, or other indicators on who/what are around (corpses, items, etc.)?

Just confirmed, seems to actually be tied to that big flower that's in the tunnel there.

Did a few tests, you can leave the tunnel and come back to summon again, as long as you don't kill the big flower. If you kill that one, you can only summon once, then not again until the next grace reset.

Isn’t there a field boss there? One of the giant rune bear things?

Maybe use the jolan ash

The gold ring that gives you more souls.

The Stone Crusher that is easily missed.

The two headed dragon boss.

The Gold mask set

The Lazure set and that other wizard guys set

Those are just some examples.

Areas

The massive underworld areas can be easily missed. This goes hand in hand with the lategame section in southwest Liurnia up on the plateau.

The Subeterannen Shunning grounds have an entrance that is rather obvious in the endgame, but is actually available much earlier in the game.

The Consecrated Snowfield and Halligtree can also be missed, since the access isn't that obvious.

Didn't know this thank you!

Most hidden items are typically just hidden in out of the way areas or in dungeons but there are a few that you have to parkour for such as the claw talisman in Stormveil Castle or the various items in Raya Lucaria.

Press X six times, then down, left, down, left

Hit it with your weapon

Yeah, I've found a few. Don't want to spoil to much, but let's just say there's several in Raya Lucaria Academy.

Yeah there is a cave with loads of spooky skeletons and it has about four of them - hides two bosses behind them too

I just did a Catacomb that had 5 illusory walls alone lol

A good few maybe around a dozen.

Hidden paths are usually found in lore-relevant places. Anywhere that's populated by mages or summoners tends to have one or two.

There's a secret tower through a dungeon at the highest point of Raya Lucaria with a great view

That one cave with the blue dancer charm.

I have over 300 hrs and still haven't gone there lmao

The Church (not Cathedral) of Dragon Communion

Just kinda vibing out there on it's island luring unsuspecting noobs to their watery graves before they figure out you have to go through a cave to reach it.

I like deep-root depths, going into elden ring for the first time I'd spent months watching content for it on YouTube and whatnot beforehand cuz I didn't get a PC until recently, but somehow I had never come across deep-root depths in all the content I saw so I was so surprised to find an area I hadn't even heard of

You will never find some things without consulting a Wiki or a YouTube video. There is a cave in Caelid with a hidden entrance. What are you expected to do? Hit every section of the cliff wall in case there might be a hidden entrance?

Last night I was in the Zamor Ruins and got a spell but missed the underground entrance to get the bell bearing. Now I have to go back there.

In game there are strong hints to secrets in game.

Where they are varies, but it's usually:

• In items descriptions
• NPC dialogue
• Told by players through messages / bloodstains
• Hidden in plain sight (and disguised as set-dressing)

Don't discount these avenues. If you treat the game like it has secrets and try to find them, then you'll find them. But you won't find ALL of them.

Thus, you have more content for subsequent playthroughs.

Read item descriptions, especially key items.

Buy the notes from merchants.

Read player messages.

I played blind first run and I think I got like...90% of the content, areas and npc quests without issue. And that was before they started marking NPC locations on the map.

I think it’s really simple. Resist the urge to look up anything and play the game totally blind from here on out and when you finish the game you will think to yourself “wow I wish there was more Elden Ring”. Then look online and see everything you missed and you get more Elden Ring.

I watched videos and found nearly everything first play through and I regret it, lots of wasted time tracking down some weapon or talisman that I don’t ever use when I could have been getting gud. Do yourself a favor, just play it and don’t worry. Plenty of sick items to go around, if you really really need something specific watch fightin cowboy or get someone to drop it for you. I have so many S tier weapons that just languish in my chest, and for what?
