Elden Ring : Man vs Wild (Escape Volcano Manor)

I'm Bear Grylls, and I'm gonna show you
what it takes to get out alive

from some of the most dangerous places
on the Lands Between.

I've got to make it through a series of challenges

in the sort of places you wouldn't last a day
without the right survival skills.

Now, I'm in Volcano Manor.

It's a lethal environment with mile upon mile of lava

This stuff will burn any Tarnished alive in, well, hours.

It's a place where the snakes walk,
the villagers throw firebombs

and the steep drop kills
hundreds of Tarnished.

I'm gonna have to dig deep to show you
how to survive in my toughest challenge yet.

Here we are at the Chapel of Anticipation
where all Tarnished souls begin their journey.

To make it to Volcano Manor
without lighting any graces

I've chosen the class with the highest
Vigor, the Knight.

That thing doesn't seem too happy...

After an unfortunate encounter
with a Grafted Scion,

I find myself with a valuable bottle.

I need to pee and I don't want to waste that

so what I'm gonna do is
use this bottle.

Careful not to light any graces,
we set off towards Volcano Manor.

hang on, something's not right...

I've managed to escape the
Chapel of Anticipation,

but I've soon discovered a problem.

So, it turns out the developers patched
the soft-lock I was going to use.

When you open this door to Limgrave,

the Stranded Graveyard grace
lights up automatically.

Not ideal for our challenge,
but we'll find another way.

It's time for a risky move.

I'm going to leave my urine behind

and attempt a glitch called "Zipping".

To escape without lighting a grace
I need to point my camera west,

raise my shield an inch forward like this.

The block animation overlaps
with the walking animation

creating an incredible burst of speed.

There we go, no graces unlocked.

Time to move on!

With the glitch successfully executed,

we can now reach the Academy of Raya Lucaria
by carefully descending and using portals.

We need to stay quiet at we sneak past
this massive slumbering dragon.

Well, that didn't work at all!

After obtaining the key, we can
finally access the Academy.

If you're ever in a tight spot with enemies,
just quit out of the game.

It will reset their positions,
giving you a chance to escape.

In the depths of the Academy, we find
the Abductor Virgin,

a terrifying metal construct built to
transport victims to Volcano Manor.

Imagine having one shot at life and being
called an Abductor Virgin.

This is gonna hurt, but it's our fastest
route to Volcano Manor.

Despite the pain, I've made it to my destination.

Volcano Manor.

Now this is where the fun begins.

I've been eaten alive by an Abductor Virgin.

And now trapped in the fiery depths

of Volcano Manor.

The first thing I noticed out here

is just how scorching hot it is.

Everything is just filled with this

eye-soaring lava.

And this stuff will burn

any Tarnished alive

in well... Hours.

With no way out

and only the most basic survival tools

our goal is clear.

First, let's test how stuck we are

by using our Memory of Grace.

If we're lucky, it'll lead us to somewhere that isn't here.

Well shi

Since we're definitely stuck,

our priority is finding shelter.

A Grace where we can heal

and respawn after death.

Once we find a Grace,

we'll have a safe haven to return to

instead of respawning in a pool of lava.

Our search for the Grace leads us

to the Subterranean Inquisition Chamber

but it soon becomes clear

that we've hit another roadblock.

(Houston) We've got a problem.

We dropped down from up there

to light this Grace which means

we're trapped in this area.

Our only hope for escape is defeating

the Formidable Abductor Virgin Duo.

Hopefully, this shouldn't be too hard. (Foreshadowing ?)

Oh...

Yeah nope

It's clear we need to find another way

if we want to escape the treacherous Volcano Manor.

(Controversial opinion)

Let's rewind a bit

to when we first arrived

at Volcano Manor.

Instead of venturing into the caves,

we take an alternate route through the scorching lava.

ded

We'll need to thread carefully here

the lava may not be as deadly as expected

but it still not a pleasant walk.

We continue upstairs

trying hard not to anger the snakes

and keep heading up

until we reach the Great Bridge.

The path through the lava

opens up to more parts of Volcano Manor.

But our exit is blocked again by one-way doors.

We could really use a Grace around this place (I agree)

Escaping the lava is draining most of my health

even before I do anything.

Look over there ! (Dad, is that you ?)

I bet I could jump over the railings (oh nvm)

(he jumped indeed)

Yeah, this will make the perfect place to set up camp.

We got a safe spot now,

but we're still not out of the woods.

We only have a small portion of Volcano Manor

accessible to us.

The rest is locked behind the area boss.

The Godskin Noble (aka Fatty)

A thicc one

We might be able to get some ? out of that one.

oof

Didn't think that would work

but my god that was awful.

Tonight on Bear Grylls:

I get Trapped in Volcano Manor

Had to get kidnapped by Virgins in Hogwarts

And James tries parkour for the first time.

Wait... What the fu

Subscribe to ymfah

Also, stay hydrated

And don't neglect sleep

And have fun in life !

Did you wash your ass today ?

Yay ! He made it !

Failed attempts : 14 (I think so)

With precise jumps and quitouts,

we've managed to parkour over to the other side.

This area is normally used as a shortcut

after killing the Godskin (the thicc one)

Wait, what's going on here ?

We might be able to use this area to cheese the Godskin

Thicc boi does not agree with that

We can't cheese the Godskin Noble

and the shortcut elevator is inoperable.

So our next plan is to use more parkour (oh no)

First thing you do, is jump around

until you hit a tiny (Tom ?) nook.

After that, jump forward one more time

and carefully inch forward, like this.

Now come the hard part

we need to jump to the right

and then climb up quickly, to get over the ledge

So what you do once you get up here,

press Menu and hold the Run button

and... Jump !
