PART 2 OUT NOW: youtu.be/qKT48A63Okc
Elden Ring: Nightreign’s DLC, The Forsaken Hollows, added an incredible new map to get completely lost in, so you can die to the rain because you can’t figure out where you’re supposed to go. WORRY NO LONGER, my friends– through the power of being unemployed and not actually having friends, DIABETOR has learned and mastered The Great Hollow, and now I shall share this knowledge with you, including info about all the POIs, and even an easy route which will GUARANTEE you always shatter the great crystal on day one. The only things I’m not gonna go into too much detail about are the north and south castles, which THE PEOPLE have deemed would be better explained in a dedicated video. Hi everyone, my name’s DIABETOR and today I’m gonna give you a comprehensive walkthrough of The Great Hollow and teach you how to navigate it like the back of your own hand.
