 So there are a few secret paths in Elden Ring, some of these are just more efficient to make life easier, some are needed to progress certain quests and some are hidden which ain't needed but help a ton of you guys to how we play this game. For today guys I bring you all hidden path secrets, portals and entrance points to hidden areas I think you need to know about. How's it going guys? My name's DPJ and if you do enjoy the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more be sure to subscribe. Okay so secret paths, portals and areas, let's get into it guys. So with no real particular order here, first up guys let's start with a hidden portal to best your sanctum. So this portal is located behind the third church of Mocha and it is great, it's a great spot to go to, to use this portal for earlier players to avoid danger heading to that best your sanctum. This is a great area for lots of early players to earn tons of runes and it's a place, I mean it's a portal that a lot of early players like myself did indeed use to avoid a lot of danger going through this massive area here. So yeah guys a nice and sweet one to start the video off. Okay so next up people we have the pureblood knights medal. Now this is actually an item you can use to teleport yourself to one of the best early farms in this entire game, in fact the best farms in this entire game are located in said area. But if you are a relatively new player guys you can make use of this medal, this quest reward and come to the south east of the sea off the river. This place here guys and all these grace points behold incredible ruin farming spots. Some even consider these exploits, well a couple of them really are. Now you've probably seen some of the ruin farming spots on this game, a lot of them are taking place in this area and if you want to come here early on guys you can. What you need to do is people firstly beat, Godric the grafted, he's the second main boss I believe. After margit the foul omen you then have to fight Godric, once you've done this guys come back to the very first point in the first step. Upon loading in here to your left there will be a glowing rock on the floor. Going into that with this rock this will start off a quest with a white faced vario I believe his name is pronounced, I in certain I in French. But this quest will then take you to the rose church located right here guys. Now the quest is quite short to be honest, it involves you invading other players, three other players doesn't matter if you win lose or draw, after you've done that he will give you a cloth, you have to take the cloth to one of two said areas to get it soaked in blood, relatively straightforward guys and then once you come back he will give you this medal. As soon as you use the medal guys it will teleport you to this area right here within the seaworth of the river so make use of it if you can and that quest is still available for you. If you haven't guys the only other entrance I know of to this area is located within another secret area, the hidden path to Hallig tree. So firstly guys how would you get to the hidden path of Hallig tree, well initially you will need to get the dectus medallion, once you get the dectus medallion I mean search a guide on youtube guys there are hundreds of them, relatively easy to get but once you get it you can activate this lift and come up to this area here. Now then you have to progress around here guys through this capital, take out a couple of main buses in the phantom god tree and the almond king then guys you'll gain access to the forbidden lands allowing you to come up to this lift, the gran lift of the road. Upon activating this guys you can come all the way up here which you will need to do to castle soul. Right at the top of castle soul guys there is a boss called commander Nile, when you kill him you will give you one half of the Hallig tree medallion, the other half guys is going from an NPC located right around here right next to this grace. So come here guys go up this hill you will be an NPC hiding in a basket, hit the basket I'd say with your fist do not hit it with a heavy weapon because if you kill this NPC you are done for. But yes once you clear this dialogue guys exhaust this dialogue and you'll give you a lot of a half of the hallig tree medallion. Then guys you need to come back up to the lift of the road, the gran lift of the road. Once here guys press right or left on your d-pad and it will give you access to the hidden path to the hallig tree. Once you are here guys you need to come to around this spot right here, I think it's a smart to head north first to this grace right here then head west through the portal and NPC will spawn in you will be invaded here where you have to kill this invader first then you'll gain access to the portal and his portal guys will take you directly to where you need to be to farm those beautiful runes within southeast of seaworth river. So guys another well secret entrance is to the capital and that's without needing the dectus medallion now to actually get access to up here guys if you don't have the dectus medallion which you can get pretty easy anyway but I thought I'll just add it to this list either way is to come up here so I'll say you're at a sorcerer's aisle come up here to the ravine follow this path all the way up here guys and you'll come to this small village now if you climb all the way up to the top guys you'll end up I believe about there now this is the magnum world boss you can beat the boss guys you actually gain access to this path right here and you can come up this way or is it that way either way you gain access to this whole area guys without having a dectus medallion and you're seeing that on screen now. Next up guys we have a hidden path to an area within a volcano manor it's basically the depths of volcano manor and to get here guys you need to come to the Veilucaria Academy once you are here people where if you come here and the door is sealed as a massive seal on the door you need to come to this spot on the map right here there will be a sleeping dragon you need to come behind it and get the key once you get the key you can go to either entrance within the academy and the seal will be removed then you can enter this place now once you progress through this place you'll come to this spot on the map right here like a giant lift contraption I don't know what this is why this would be here I have no idea but either way if you ride it to the bottom you'll see one of these mechanical mothers that's my nickname for them who try and pick you up and put you in there well microwave bellies should we call it yeah microwave bellies sounds good and actually guys that's what you want them to do because upon you dying with inside their stomachs their bellies their microwaves whatever it is I don't know you will actually spawn back in your reappear underneath volcano manor and more importantly as part of their quest in the game the temple of Igley so if that's an area specifically looking for this is actually how you get to it okay so next up guys is a quest item you get from running so upon doing run his quest she eventually gives you an item called the carrion inverted statue now though this isn't a very important area and I've probably don't even need to include it in this video let's follow wood anyway now upon getting this item from running come to the study hall right here on the map upon entering the study hall guys you can place this item on this table upon doing this it inverts the study hall and from here guys you can actually find a pretty unique area and there's a couple of items in here guys you definitely don't want to miss namely a talisman which gives you five three extra intelligence points and also an item which can have an effect under ending so keep that in mind guys but yes the carrion study hall secret area I thought I'd include it for the heck of it because it's a cool place I'm talking about a running quest there is a part of it guys where you need to come to the deep root depths the Ansel River more specifically this area right here the Ansel River main for me I'm not sure what happened but something didn't trigger in my quest because other guys I saw on YouTube they showcased an actual portal but for me that didn't happen so I had to find an alternative route down to the Ansel River and the Ansel River main now you can get down to the Ansel River by going to the Ansel River well right here guys but that spawns you down at the bottom side of it where you're free to explore all this area but you actually can't get up to the Ansel River main and if you want to progress around his quest you have to be here now the only other way I found was via another secret path and this secret path guys requires you to take out a few bosses firstly Radhan who's located in this big area here guys that quest is triggered and started the you come to the impassable great bridge then come into the red main castle and starting it there once you take out Radhan you get a new area open up which you access via 4 height west called Nakran upon coming to Nakran guys you have to fight your way past the mimic tier boss and go to the twin gargoyles now the twin gargoyles ain't an easy fight but if you're skilled enough you'll take them out they definitely don't need to be two of them though but hey from the stuff where I just thought we needed a challenge I don't even know what was going through them might as well but hey but once you take out guys the twin gargoyles when you come to the back of the room there will be a grace there for you to activate but just right at that grace there will be a cuffing now if you enter that cuffing guys it takes you up to the deep root depths mainly the great waterfall crest grace point from here guys if you follow the path I take on screen now and follow all the way to the very northwest of this area there is another tomb for you to get inside upon getting the side of this tomb guys we will actually spawn in at the Ainso River main where you need to be the Rani's quest there's also a few other cool things in this area too guys so you may just want to explore even if you ain't doing Rani's quest yet but yeah once you've had a playthrough answer with a main if you come down here guys to the lake of rot shore side and you make your way across the rut and down to this grace just behind this point guys that is another tomb getting in this tomb guys will take you down to a bus called Estelle natural born at avoid which is a great bus fight by the way okay so next up guys we're going back to the hidden path to the Hadid tree if you come very north at this place you'll come to this area right here the Ordina rhetorical town within this area guys is actually a portal which takes you to the hidden Hadid tree area which I've only recently just found out about so there's no doubt people watching this they have no idea about this so within this little town guys if you come through you'll eventually come to this platform where there's a glowing blue symbol on the floor which you can stand on now if you stand and interact with this thing you'll be teleported to another dimension within this dimension guys you need to light four candles which you'll see me doing on screen now just speed it up once you've lit all four candle guys they seal at the top of these stairs will break and you'll be able to access this portal which will take you to the secret area right here guys which beholds many more secrets and there we have it guys there are a couple of more I could cover there's a couple of chests that teleport you to different bosses but nothing of spectacular importance in my opinion I mean if you're an early play you can come down to the tower of return you climb to the top of this there will be a chest which will teleport you to the capital and if you run past this giant on your right hand side there will be a chest which beholds a great talisman for you if you pull up your map and it seems as though all the graces across there it's because you need to activate the grace that's here and you should be good but yeah guys if you know of any more hidden locations spot secret portals whatever be sure to let me know and everyone else
