00:07Welcome to MojoPlays and today we're showing you 10 of the hardest locations to reach across FromSoftware's Souls games including
00:13Sekiro and Elden Ring.
00:21Before we begin, we publish new content all week long, so be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to
00:27get notified about our latest videos.
00:30Elfeal, Brace of the Hallig Tree, Elden Ring
00:38Accessing the Hallig Tree requires two halves of the Hallig Tree's secret medallion.
00:42The first half is located in the village of Albenarix, held by a well-hidden LPC named Albus, who is
00:47disguised as a pot.
00:49The second half is found at the top of Castle Sol in the mountaintops of the Giants, which is only
00:53obtainable after defeating Commander Niall.
01:00Once you have both pieces, you gotta travel to the Grand Lift of Rold, where you'll have the option to
01:05hoist secret medallion.
01:06This already grants you access to a massive secret area, the Consecrated Snowfield, in which you have to reach Ordina
01:12and complete its unique puzzle, which has you lighting candles and fighting invisible enemies.
01:16Do all of this and you'll unlock a teleporter that finally takes you to Elfeal, Brace of the Hallig Tree.
01:24Owl's Memory of Hirata Estate
01:26Shadows Die Twice
01:34You've almost certainly been to Hirata Estate if you've played Sekiro, but there's an alternate version only unlocked by following
01:39the Purification Path.
01:40After this, you must speak with Emma on the stairs and again at the Old Grave, then one last time
01:46at the Dilapidated Temple.
01:47Doing so has her offer you Father's Bell Charm, which will actually unlock a modified memory of the Estate.
02:01It's extremely convoluted and you can actually miss it if you don't do it before you fight the Divine Dragon.
02:13Ash Lake
02:21Ash Lake
02:21Ash Lake is located at the base of the Great Hollow, a massive hollow tree which is already a secret
02:26location in Blighttown.
02:27After traveling to the swamp, go to the massive tree root in the left corner.
02:31There's an illusory wall here which you can hit to reveal a hidden chest, but this is actually a red
02:35herring because the wall behind this hidden chest is also an illusory wall.
02:47As you enter the Great Hollow, you'll have to descend it with the Dark Souls trademark platforming while also avoiding
02:52basilisks that can insta-kill and curse you.
02:55Finally reaching the bottom, you'll be rewarded with access to arguably the most beautiful area in the game.
03:08Dark Souls 3
03:13In the Ring City DLC, you can find one of the most well-hidden puzzles in the entire franchise.
03:19It starts with a riddle inscribed on a wall near the Ring City streets bonfire that simply says, Show Your
03:24Humanity.
03:24To solve it, you must exit into a specific spot in the nearby Abyssal Swamp and use a young white
03:30branch or the Chameleon spell which in this area will actually uniquely transform your character into a humanity sprite.
03:36Once this is done, you have to walk back to the wall which will now trigger the appearance of a
03:40hidden ladder.
03:45Going up the ladder, you'll find this little secret area with a few enemies and the Dragon Head Great Shield
03:50as well as the Purging Monument.
03:59You'll find this little secret.
03:59Pure White Executioner Emeralda, Demon's Souls
04:09Finding and fighting Executioner Emeralda in Demon's Souls is actually relatively simple.
04:13It's just that you'll have to manipulate World Tendency in the Boletarian Palace.
04:17She resides behind a gate on the far left side of the starting area in 1-1.
04:28This gate only unlocks if the world is in either pure white or pure black world tendency.
04:33Pure white being super hard to accomplish, if not nearly impossible on your first run.
04:38It requires you to defeat several bosses in that world without dying while in body form.
04:43A single death in body form shifts the tendency back toward neutral, effectively locking you out.
04:47And with this being a minor, quasi-hidden side path right at the start of 1-1, most players will
04:52never see it.
04:59The Fountainhead Palace
05:02Shadows Die Twice
05:09The Fountainhead Palace serves as the final major zone for a couple of the game's endings, but reaching it has
05:13quite a few prerequisites.
05:15First, you must stay loyal to Kuro when confronted by the Owl at the top of Ashina Castle.
05:19Then, you must collect the Lotus of the Palace from the Sunken Valley, the Shelter Stone from Ashina Depths,
05:24and lastly, you need to acquire the Mortal Blade by doing the Senpu Temple side quest.
05:34After all these items are gathered and Owl is defeated, talk to Kuro and have him light the incense.
05:40Finally, travel to the hidden wedding cave door in Ashina Depths and sit inside the palanquin.
05:45A giant strawman will animate and transport you to the Vermillion Bridge, where you'll have to fight the true monk
05:50to finally gain access to Mibu Manor and Fountainhead Palace.
06:00Ludd and Zalyn, Dark Souls 2
06:10Ludd and Zalyn might be a boss fight, but it's following one of the most painful areas to navigate in
06:15the franchise.
06:16You'll have to find them within the frigid outskirts, an optional area in the Crown of the Ivory King DLC.
06:20Accessing the area requires the Garrison Ward Key, which opens the door to the Expulsion Chamber bonfire.
06:26Interacting with a coffin at the edge of the cliff will have you slide down into the frozen wasteland.
06:37Once there, you'll need to go through this giant featureless snowstorm where you can't see anything.
06:42It's notoriously annoying, and while doing it, you'll have to fend off frozen reindeers too.
07:04The Abandoned Old Workshop is a waking world mirror of the Hunter's Dream.
07:08It's a secret location hidden inside the Healing Church Workshop Tower.
07:11To find it, you first got to defeat the blood-starved beast to unlock the side door in Cathedral Ward.
07:16After ascending the elevator and crossing the bridge, you can go around, drop down, and enter the tower through a
07:21little hidden side entrance.
07:23It's full of wooden walkways, and there's multiple ways of reaching the bottom.
07:26Although, all of them are dangerous, and it's way too easy to slip and die.
07:37Right as you enter, you have to look for a small, nearly invisible wooden platform suspended in the middle of
07:42the shaft.
07:43Drop down at the exact spot to reach a large wooden door, and that's it.
07:50The Frenzied Flame Prescription
07:52Elden Ring
08:02This area is located deep beneath the capital city of Landell.
08:05To reach it, you must first find the secret well there, leaning down into the subterranean shunning grounds,
08:10in which you'll have to navigate the maze-like tunnels and pipes to eventually reach the Cathedral of the Forsaken
08:15Bonfire.
08:26After defeating Mog, you can strike the altar behind him to reveal a secret path,
08:30eventually leading to a massive vertical shaft filled with the bodies of hundreds of merchants.
08:35To finally reach the bottom, you'll have to do some hilariously difficult platforming.
08:45Arch Dragon Peak
08:46Arch Dragon Peak might just be the most absurdly hidden area FromSoftware has ever conceived.
08:58It's an entirely optional zone that requires an extremely niche set of actions to enter.
09:03First, you have to travel to the Consumed King's Garden and defeat Osiris.
09:06In the room behind the boss arena, you will find the path of the Dragon Gesture on a corpse.
09:11You then have to travel to Irithyll Dungeon and use the gesture at a small outdoor balcony looking to the
09:15peak.
09:23You'll have to use it between the dragon statue specifically, and after a few seconds, a cutscene will play and
09:28transport you to the peak.
09:29There is a complete lack of instructions or hints as to what you actually have to do here, and it's
09:34crazy enough that anybody figured it out in the first place.
09:37Without messages or guides, how is anyone supposed to find this?
09:44What location did you find the hardest to reach? Let us know in the comments.
