I'm not sure if this has been covered but, if you die in a boss fight and lose a lot runes, go back to the boss fight, pick it up, save quit. You'll restart outside the boss arena with your runes. I've dumb smarted the game on this one 😅
Important to note that rainbow stones will stick to whatever surface they contact. If that surface is slippery, like a ledge or small outcropping you can't stand on, it will appear like you can stand there. So don't use them to check that.
I usually just go to a vendor and sell the Golden runes. It's by far the fastest way to use em. Plus there's almost always a grace right by vendors where i can quickly use those runes so i don't lose them. Amazing video. Great tips. Several were new to me!
a few more for you- using block cancels a bunch of minor animations. want to pick up an item off the ground without having your character stop for a second? hold block. Want to quickly change direction? blocking prevents the pivot animation which locks you in place and can easily get you killed. fell off a big ledge and want to stand up a bit quicker? press block. Need to grab a riposte with a colossal sword but that heavy backswing is too slow? Blocking cancels the recovery, letting you grab that sweet crit. Blocking is awesome, you should use it.
I've done it your way all the way through the main game, but I found it it's somewhat of a problem in the DLC cuz everything's so much faster. I'm almost thinking of switching back. Or at least putting my healing flask back on the bar and maybe leaving the blue one in the pouch.
It's plenty fast enough on the belt with muscle memory. My setup is... Y-up: FP flask Y-down: HP flask Y-right: Torrent Y-left: physick Lantern and telescope go on the other two slots because they don't need to be used in combat
Only fast if you've got macros on paddles or are rocking the claw grip lol. Having to let go of both sticks for even a second to heal can often be a death sentence. Imo, it's better to just keep a tidy pouch of 3-4 items max and memorize the order and position you're currently at. For me it's the same mental process as remembering what gear I'm in when driving in Forza and using the bumpers to shift.
This is helpful but reliving the painful deaths Cohh dealt with hurts the soul all over again! On a real note, watching you play has helped me with my Faith build and getting the right buffs. Thanks for the tips Cohh!
Standing sprint jump is one of the most useful mechanic tips I've ever come across in soulsborne videos. Everything else was great too, definitely added to my list of youtubers to watch.
The crystal darts also work on the golem smiths in the forges. When you see two of them near each other, using a few darts is way faster (and safer) than trying to crit their backs.
One thing i discovered yesterday: While riding on Torrent, if you press the buttons that, while on foot, allow you to dual wield your right hand armament (triangle + R1 on PS) you'll switch to your left armament. This is useful if, for example, you have a talisman or caster always equipped on your left hand and you want to use it on the horse without changing its position in the Equipment🎉
Little note about selling runes to vendor, the sell price is what you get for using them, so you can more accurately use the ones you need to level up for example, without having 50k leftover for example because you used a much higher rune than you needed.
If you want to traverse lava in the fastest way possible without using FP (so no quickstep/bloodhound step), you should learn how to do the "ravioli step" or reverse backstep, which is tech mostly used in PvP dating back to DS1. Preferably with no weapon, two-handing bare fists for low stamina consumption and a fast attack. The way to do it is, facing forward, press B/circle to backstep, but very quickly flick the left stick backwards before the backstep starts. If you flick too early, you'll just roll backwards; If you flick too late, you'll do a normal backstep; If you flick at the right time, you'll do a backstep in the opposite direction of your flick. Then, quickly do a Light Attack forward (so you do a backstep attack), and repeat. It's harder than just spamming backstep, but it's significantly faster. Also, for saving yourself from death, it's very useful to learn how to quit out of the game very fast. You can do the whole combination insanley quickly once muscle memory kicks in. It has many advantages over using the Pureblood Knight's Medal. For once, it can be used while falling and it will respawn you next to the ledge you fell from (unless you dropped from a few ledges while spamming rolls, in which case it will spawn you where you were standing before you started rolling). It's also almost instantaneous; in comparisson, the Medal does an animation first during which you can be killed. Like the Medal, quit-out also works during boss fights, but it spawns you right before the fog gate instead of forcing you to go from the Grace to the Boss Gate again. And more importantly, it doesn't respawn the non-boss enemies that you already killed, and it spawns any living enemy that was chasing you back to their original positions.
For the group passwords and messages, if you have the same community or group passwords and someone defeats a shardbearer or beats the game you get a 5% rune boost for a while
A lot of this stuff I remember from previous ER "tips & tricks" vids when the game was newer, or just from my time playing. It's been a couple years though, and certain things (mostly button prompts) are foggy in my memory. My friends and I are picking the game up again prepping for the DLC, and this was a good refresher. There were a couple I was unaware of, for instance, I was under the impression that the shackles were 1-use items, I didn't know you kept them (mostly because I didnt use them in my initial playthrough). I also didnt know the trick with the crystal darts, which is infinitely helpful, since those boss fights tend to get incredibly frustrating later on in the game. Good stuff.
If your character uses FP try putting the FP flask on the bottom of your additional Y directional menu. In a fast boss battle it makes a real difference having both your HP and FP flasks in the same position only needing to hit the Y button first. This works well with the HP flask too if you load a lot of items in the down arrow of your standard directional button menu.
If you attack while stand on the edge of a drop you think will kill you, and you dont drop down, that means the drop will kill you. If youre attacking or swinging you weapon and your attacks allow you to drop down then you will survive.if the drop is too high your.attacks will stop you feom going over the edge and thats a cool mechanic most people arent hip too as well.
Some good tips for rot and poison swamps to, if you roll in the poison and go back to shore, let poison/rot effect you while out side of the marsh the poison/rot damage is halved. Also if you end up rolling in the poison/rot and want the build up to stop, that is what the soap consumable is for, it cleans it off of you. Also the soap can be used to wash blood off of your character.
For the charged jump segment if you’re running and jumping sometimes you do lil baby jumps that basically don’t take you forward but if you’re blocking you don’t do those baby jumps
3:34 I don’t know if someone has already said it in this comment section but the shackles also work on the rock mounds in the dlc to unlock the Torrent wind currents And those chariot puzzles in the heroes graves
If you open the map, press Y, navigate to a site of grace you want a hotkey for, then click either the right or left stick (i forget which), you'll favorite it. Then teleporting there is as fast as the round table hold combo. Just use Back>Y>Y>A instead of Back>Y>X>A
I learned 6 things from this, that is the most I have learned in a single video about tips, most tips videos really give out the same tips that are easily learned by playing and paying attention decently enough but these are all useful tips. Thank you for this.
The only one i didn't know about was using the stomp (cause i use rainbow stones) to reveal invisible walkways. Most of the time I'm the one telling friends about these things, so this video is super useful cause i can just send them this instead of explaining 3 or 4 of these in a row. Also want to say, for the sprint jump, you don't need to specifically jump and hold sprint in the middle of that jump to do a standing sprint jump. You can also press start (open menu) and press _and hold_ back/sprint for however long it takes to be "sprinting" (like 0.2 seconds or something). really you just need to be able to press and hold your sprint button during an action that stops you from backstepping.
Another thing i found out about the extra runes is selling the runs to a shop person instantly gives you the runes without animation meaning its incredibly fast. I usually use those runes for shopping so i found it useful And yes you get them all the the proper amount
addendum to the shackles: it will also destroy the Tree Sentinel chariots in the Auriza Hero's Grave by raising the pedestral, just dont do it in the Gelmir Heroes Grave cause you need one to go through the lava
You can 100% sprint in lava. I do it and I just checked again to make sure. I think your resistances/damage mitigation determines it. I'm wearing the Solitude set and can sprint through lava and anything else just like on regular ground.
You can sprint in lava after starting NG+. In a regular NG cycle you'll be slowed as shown here. Nothing to do with your resistances or damage mitigation, just a little QoL feature unlocked in subsequent NG+ cycles.
I only knew like 2 of these but I'm not that new to the game, I'm already an Elden lord but most of these I've never even think about something similar. Kewl, you definitely changed my tricks repertoire
Damn that lava trick is legitimately how i run from shit in my dreams!! When i try to run and i can't because i actually realize its a dream i get semi-lucid and start running backwards in tiny hops.
Like most people here, I have so many hours in this game and still learned so much from your video. You're doing god's work, like and subscribe from me
I found (xbox) mashing b+a quickly with moving can get a sprinting jump, also two handing my halberd helps get a better jump (sometimes i have a shield or the dragon head)
I happened to make a really popular message in the DLC a month ago and it has thousands of appraisals. It helped me beat Bayle, and Radahn. So leave a good message and it pays off!
The Shackle tech also works for players using the mimic veil, if theyre being sneaky and trying to play hide and seek when youre invading them you can break their illusion from afar!
Thought I'd hate it but started a few weeks ago and actually love it, but I will say this: I think I have died to the Gravity Boss more than any other reason for dying.
For the consumable souks trick you can use them after you press R3 but that still takes a while the fastest way is to sell them and it will give you the runes, fastest person to sell it to is hewg the blacksmith in round table

You can’t open the map in combat
@@W2wxftcxxtcrw yea but you don’t have to be in combat in order to fall to your death
Cohh's learned fear of gravity is very apparent in the first few tips. 😄
Great info and several things I didn't know!
I usually just go to a vendor and sell the Golden runes. It's by far the fastest way to use em. Plus there's almost always a grace right by vendors where i can quickly use those runes so i don't lose them.
Amazing video. Great tips. Several were new to me!
Several of these are just so dope. Holding down or up to reset list...genius. like it's so subtle and smooth.
This was actually super helpful! Even though i had 200+ hours in this game, I dint know the jump, crystal dart, and Mogh token return. Incredible
Awesome! Glad they helped :)
Crystal dart just saved me a lot of heartache
500 hours on the game, I didn't know about the R3 mechanic when consuming runes hahah. Thank you Cohn
a few more for you-
using block cancels a bunch of minor animations. want to pick up an item off the ground without having your character stop for a second? hold block. Want to quickly change direction? blocking prevents the pivot animation which locks you in place and can easily get you killed. fell off a big ledge and want to stand up a bit quicker? press block. Need to grab a riposte with a colossal sword but that heavy backswing is too slow? Blocking cancels the recovery, letting you grab that sweet crit. Blocking is awesome, you should use it.
Read this and was like that sounds super useful. Then remembered I'm dual wielding and can't block. Bugger.
Sprint Jump ! Holy crap. Thank you so much for this tip. 150 hours in, many failed jumps and now this!
These were actually extremely helpful tricks, some that I didn't know of before. Thanks! The "Charged Jump" thing is a gamechanger
Put all your flasks and the horse whistle in your belt. Easy button presses to get them off at short notice and no cycling

The shackles tip was great 300 hours in and multiple playthroughs and I had no idea the shackles took turrets down and invisible walls. Very cool
For the group passwords and messages, if you have the same community or group passwords and someone defeats a shardbearer or beats the game you get a 5% rune boost for a while
Yep. I've got my list full of active communities. The buff pops regularly.
I told myself I will leave a like if there is ONE thing I didn't know. I left a like after watching the video for 1 min 50 s.
Message appraising restoring your health is one of the coolest things. It comes it handy all the time, never in a boss fight clutch yet though!
That moving backwards thing cracked me up, literally never thought of that
Its been 80 years since ive came accross a tips and tricks video that isnt clickbait BS. Thank you.
The tip with turning with torrent is a classic in MGS V - you can use his binocs to turn around completely without animation, really useful.

That Mohg tip is OP
This list is so good. The way I gasped about the bit with the shackle... AND THE MOHG PALACE PORT CHEESE?? Subbed and appreciated, brother.
The shackles work to unplug the spirit springs in the dlc also. If you’re having a hard time finding the stack of rocks, just pull out the shackle.
