In this segment, MAA guides viewers on how to unlock the “Sword of the Night,” “Shield of the Night,” and the complete “Night” armor set with helmet, armor, gauntlets, and boots in the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The process includes starting at the Mor Ruins, heading toward Bonnie Village, and following specific steps to reach a tower and a hole that leads to a cave and ladder to Bonnie Village. There are two crucial tasks in the village: obtaining a new emote by heading north and reaching a sight of Grace, and finding and entering the Bonnie Jail dungeon to collect the armor set and shield. The dungeon involves navigating a somewhat maze-like path focused on descending deeper into the area while avoiding enemies.
00:03:00
In this part of the video, the guide describes navigating through a dungeon. After ignoring some items, you proceed through several doors and down stairs to reach a balcony. Here, you use a large jar functioning as an elevator, which takes you near the dungeon’s end. After defeating an enemy, you re-ride the jar to access a previously unreachable area. This area contains a set of armor and a shield. Once collected, you can complete the dungeon or return to the entrance. The dungeon boss is easy and provides a spirit summon upon defeat.
Next, you return to Bonnie Village, move east across bridges, and visit two sites of Grace to reach a church district and eventually a cathedral. Rest at the site of Grace and proceed inside to talk to a character named Yamir, who gives you two items vital for continuing your mission. With these items, head to the Cillian Coast, and follow the beach north-eastward. The specific navigation details are skipped but are important for the journey.

In this segment, the focus is on traversing across a shallow water path to reach and loot a level 9 ghost glove wart for summoning upgrades. The narrator suggests the Mimic Tear as the optimal choice for summons. Following a path to the finger ruins of Ria, the aim is to rest at the Site of Grace and follow the fingers pointing to the center of the area on horseback, avoiding small and large crawling hand enemies. At the center, the goal is to interact with a horn to complete the first section of a side quest, provided you have the necessary necklace from the cathedral. Completing this unlocks the Crimson Seed Talisman +1, enhancing HP restoration from the Crimson Flask. Fast traveling back to the cathedral and talking with Ymir begins the quest’s second part, awarding the Ruins Map and beloved Stardust, which increases sorcery and incantation casting speed at the cost of taking more damage. The video then guides the viewer to navigate the church district, taking rooftops to avoid enemies, and ultimately reaching a lift leading to a new Site of Grace at the storehouse’s back section.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the guide walks viewers through accessing the Shadowkeep area. Starting at the site of Grace, viewers are instructed to climb a series of ladders and stairs, bypassing certain sections and ignoring non-essential enemies. On reaching new sites of Grace, such as the back gate of Shadowkeep, viewers must perform specific actions like using an emote in front of a statue to uncover secret areas. Key highlights include navigating through straightforward paths with occasional enemy encounters, and ultimately sounding a hanging bell to unlock the Cillian Seed Talisman plus one, which enhances restoration abilities.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the next steps in the quest involve fast traveling back to the cathedral to talk to Ymir and exhaust all dialogue options to receive the Ruins map. This includes discussions about glint Stones, Mika, and the black armor. The same process must be repeated with the Knight in the room. After exhausting all dialogues, you need to rest at the site of Grace till nightfall. At night, return to the cathedral, where Ymir will be absent from the throne, revealing a hidden hole and ladder underneath. Climbing down leads to encountering an enemy with Beast Claws. After defeating the enemy, proceed uphill to ring a sounding bell, triggering a teleportation to a boss fight against Mattier, the mother of fingers. It’s highlighted as a challenging boss battle, but utilizing the mimic tier and summoning support can help manage the difficulty.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for quickly completing a challenging phase in a game. The phase involves fighting enemies that are tough but manageable, especially with the Shadow tree blessing and a strong character build. Upon defeating these enemies, players receive the remembrance of the mother of fingers, which can be traded at the round table hold for either a glint stone staff or a colossal weapon, both requiring level 20 intelligence.
The video continues with teleporting back to the cathedral and encountering an invader named Jolen (or Yolan). This invader fight varies in difficulty based on the player’s build and level. Afterward, another boss named Yamir appears, who is easy to defeat with a strong build. Defeating Yamir yields several items including an armor set, their Bell bearing, and a staff.
To proceed, players need the iris of occultation, found by going to the Mor ruins, south to Fort Reprimand. Inside the fort, players should follow a specific path to locate a hole in the ground leading to a mini-boss. Defeating this mini-boss grants the iris of occultation, necessary for obtaining the sword of Knight option in the next step.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker instructs viewers to return to the cathedral and speak with the Knight near the pillar on the right. Depending on progress, there are two options: choosing the iris of Grace for a knight summon or the iris of occultation for the Sword of Knight, a one-handed Katana with an impressive move set. The side quest concludes with acquiring this sword, and the speaker suggests equipping the associated armor. The weapon can be leveled up and is effective for bleed builds due to its blood loss buildup and AOE damage ability, even without using the shield. The armor is light enough for most players to remain in medium weight class.
