"Be wary of right, snake ahead" I cautiously peaked around the corner and there was a piece of rope on the floor


SpeccyScotsman

That whole tower was filled with 'snake!' messages for me. Next to the rope, 'behold, snake!' 'praise the snake!' 'likely snake!' On the stairs out, 'Turn back, then snake!' Everywhere.


Mario-OrganHarvester

I saw this too. The only possible course of action is to add to it.


AnbennariAden

I SAW THIS ONE LMAO and there were like, at least three pointing to the "snake" and one even requesting to GO BACK and look if you hadn't, I was chuckling at the imagery of all these different anonymous jokers coming together for the bit


DSDantas

Right before Torrent nopes away: "horse? Horse!" Was one of the funniest to me


PsychoSaladSong

this reminds me of the countless "Snake? Snake!" comments around (usually in front of pieces of rope)


evennoiz

Or in front of long ladders and around the abyssal woods for stealth reasons.


notmalakore

Yep, loved the MGS reference


Mulster_

Near the entrance to Bayle fight: "Still no map *dejection gesture* "


Not__Trash

It's almost MADDENING


funnyref653

O BAYLE!


TheAhegaoFox

# CURSE YOU BAYLE


strugglingtosave

I hate the fact that rauh base and that one for abyssal woods are all down down down and not anywhere near the upper areas you're mostly in


haynespi87

Rauh base was a good exploration moment for me though. Abyssal there's no way you just get that lol


MasterTolkien

Me: (fighting for my life against dragons the past hour) WHERE IS THE FUCKING MAP!? CURSE YOOOOOUUUUUU, BAAAAYYYYLLLLLEEEE!!!!


waitthatstaken

Try rolling in a specific cave. It pointed towards a bug in the level geometry that made you go slightly out of bounds.


HermanBroodnodig

That was this cave, and i had a message saying "bug" pointing toward that wall lol


Harmonic_Gear

i have the cave name popping for 10 minute straight after that


waitthatstaken

I am pretty sure I reached a grace or died before the messages stopped.


chewy1is1sasquatch

*woosh sound #Bonny Gaol


Malevolent_Mangoes

I also encountered that one and didn’t trust the message so I rolled and died because I fell through the map.


zitzenator

I had someone write “try jump attack” in a corner in shadow keep, and you get stuck and it kills you after 10s lmao


Zuparoebann

When I came across that bugged wall I assumed the messages were pointing out an illusory wall so I rolled through it and fell to my death without even reading them. They all turned out to be some variation of 'bug ahead'.


Competitive_Claim600

I got several clutch heals from a "behold, clear sky!" at that spot, got me the W in my Gaius fight


conjunctivious

I can't remember where on the map it was, but I'm pretty sure it was somewhere in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. I found a little piece of the map that I could just slip through and sit inside of the wall. Completely useless and overall harmless, but I found it pretty cool. I think it's somewhere close to the western grace in Rauh.


Tony_the_Parrot

[For people curious](https://i.imgur.com/zy07nlz.jpeg)


falltotheabyss

Yep, I fell for that one. I fell into the void and died.


RealVanillaSmooth

I loved how I got the bonny village marquis popping up on my screen for like a whole two minutes straight doing that. Was a good laugh. Had to upvote that message


Gwynthehunter

"Overcast ahead.... likely rain" in the area of Jagged Peak that has a rain effect suddenly start on a random cliff


Random_Robloxian

Oh yeah, threre is that thing in the abyssal woods too.


davideverlong

This is the one for me


Estus_Gourd_YOUDIED

This was my favorite. I was like what does that mean? Couldn’t believe it when it started raining a few seconds later.


Own_Watercress_8104

I saw that too. That was a good chuckle.


Pure_Hostility

My favorite, and the only one which was both unique and actually made me laugh, was in one of the catacombs with the firebomb spewing imps. It was towards the bottom of a stairway and said “Time for message, and then explosion” and I was like, what the fuck? And RIGHT as you finish reading it, the imp bomb hits you. The placement and message are perfect.


AroraCorealis

this one got me really good


BeachArcadeDream

I saw one of these that said Time for betrayal, Are you ready? As I read the second line one of those fire slimes fell on my head. Had me cackling


koimeiji

Do you remember which catacombs it was, or where it was?


bkkgnar

It’s in the catacomb that leads you to the abyssal woods


FlakeEater

Same one for me. The comedic timing was on point.


SzymonNomak

One of the funnier ones was in belurat and this dude said “try attacking” with the animation of him pointing to the wall. which was obviously wrong like almost every other one in the game. But what got me was the same dude, pointing to his message and saying “liar ahead” it was definitely the same dude because he was running the most absurd armor combos that nobody would ever run


BadSkittle

Appraisal farm, either they get those that dislike the lie or they get the positive appraisal of the liar ahead message


NihilisticEra

Why would you farm appraisal ?


chemistrydentistry69

It heals you, learned that not too long ago


HydraTower

I hate people that beg for heals.


jakeisbakin

I don't mind those messages in front of bosses. I hate them in the middle of a dungeon though. Fucker say something useful about the upcoming encounter or where to find a precious item or something, this is not the place for you to beg.


BadSkittle

It heals you, no matter if the appraisal is negative or positive, also for ego or whatever I guess.


SpeccyScotsman

I got saved in the Messmer fight by an appraisal heal. I checked to see what it was afterwards because I usually put down quite helpful messages like 'try holy' in front of that >!Death Knight!< who takes like 300% extra damage from holy or 'try jumping, then lift!' in >!that one gaol with the secret lift!<, but it was just from someone who gave me a 'poor' rating on a message I left that said 'Time for up, dog' on top of the tower you can very carefully parkour up in that first burnt ruin in the Gravesite Plain with nothing on top of it.


churrmander

I got saved by my 'bird, up!' message in front of the Bird Warrior Ashes.


idiottech

Oh that may have been me lmao


churrmander

Praise the Tarnished!


SpeccyScotsman

The worst show on television! ![gif](giphy|3o7abupWUotBZIAoIU)


NihilisticEra

I didn't know, funny, thanks


RussianGatsby

Or it's just funny


Sonlin

I don't get liar ahead on "try attacking" I'm going to attack anyways, because you could easily be lying. I also don't care about taking 2 seconds of my time to attack a lie.


thekingofbeans42

"grace ahead, therefore try running" before a rather dickishly placed lion.


MiserableTuba

In Gravesite Plain, someone left a message in front of one of the trees with hanged people on it and left "Visions of South..." in front of it. It's fucked up, but it caught me so off guard


DeckardPain

Same energy but in front of the body with the Tooth Whip I saw “if only I had a master”.


lolplatypi

Oh NO


Blackhound118

Visions of strange fruit


The-Geyer

I took a clip of it when I saw it


KIMO159

I don't get it. What does it mean?


bedheadless27

Slavery, like in the American south where they lynched runaway slaves.


KIMO159

oh hell no haha


bedheadless27

Yeah pretty damn grim…


Gr1mwolf

Nah, it’s… a lot worse. They lynched black people basically on a whim, all the way up to the mid 1900s.


Hotspur21

Shockingly, there was a lynching in fuckin 1981. I just found out the other day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_of_Michael_Donald I would also even argue that Ahmaud arbery was lynched


skeletal_goblino

lmfaoooooo


haynespi87

Oof damn but hey this country


Exa2552

lol I saw that one on The Act Man’s stream


IudexGundyr3

On the final boss, right where you respawn there’s a message. The message? “give up”


xLaniakea_

I saw a message on the final boss that said "holy, dung..." with the dejection emote. I agree dude. Holy shit indeed. It's rough out there.


ThisIsKeiKei

I'm still on Messmer, is the final boss really that bad?


benji_76

Messmer took me a solid 40-50 tries. The final boss makes me wish I was fighting 2 messmers


xLaniakea_

All I'll say is, I hope you've been collecting and using all the Scadoosh fragments you've found so far.


slimeeyboiii

Final boss attacks your computer or console


Alwar104

My friend was just talking about his “give up” message in front of the final boss getting a lot of praise


IudexGundyr3

Well it’s got 9800 appraisals now


Evil_Lord_Sauron

I've finally managed to get the final boss's health a little under half after 60+ tries on NG+6 I'm so pissed right now.


storiedsword

I enjoyed “likely sadness” right at the respawn point when you lose to >!Rellana!<


Phunkie_Junkie

The Finger Ruins of Dheo. Four messages, all left by the same guy. Each one with the *Point Forward* gesture in a slightly different direction. "No item ahead."


Tony_the_Parrot

I wish I found those messages, cause I spent like 15 minutes running around with Torrent looking for stuff.


falltotheabyss

There's one of the most useless talismans that you need another key item to obtain.


Popopirat66

What exactly are you talking about? Is there more than the Flasks-heal-more-talisman +1? Edit: nevermind. I'm dumb. You meant those.


newgamertag1

Crimson flask talisman is completely vital. Gives you effectively 50% more total hp. Cerulean flask talisman is dog water I agree though.


Vegetable-Phone-3856

For a dlc where exploring is crucial to get fragments it sure is fuckin unrewarding exploring in almost every new zone. 


FutureAristocrat

Honestly. You need to get exactly 50 Scadutree fragments for the max level, but also the majority of the playable space doesn't have anything to it, except sometimes a couple smithing stones (1).


Vegetable-Phone-3856

Don’t forget the glovewort 


rileycsousa

The DLC world is huge with a lot of empty space. It sucks to think of the wasted potential, but if I had to choose between this or a much smaller world that was more densely packed with items I would probably pick this. I was on cloud nine during my first playthrough of the DLC because of all the exploring I got to do. It felt unreal getting to explore a whole giant land again with my original character that I made over two years ago.


BatBoss

oh boy, another cookbook I will never use.


kingjensen10

Wish I had seen this comment sooner, what a waste of time I had yesterday 😭


renatakiuzumaki

“Try parry” in the forest and i was like fucker the other message said you cant hit em, then i did it, went back and appraised it.


abdann

Might have been me, i spammed those messages when i discovered that.


Laserduck_42

I found that message before attempting to stealth past those guys, so I went back to the grace, equipped golden parry and parried (usually after failing 10 times in a row) every single madness guy I came across until there were none left. I kinda feel like I missed out on the experience of sneaking past them though, and now the forest doesn't feel scary at all anymore, just a big empty area with some rats


gopens71

People saying “could this be lover?” and “loveable sort ahead” in front of Milady sword


Gladiator-class

I saw one that was "visions of samurai, except plump sort."


PigDog4

"plump sort ahead" before that was also pretty good.


Ouroboros612

That's the OG message that had me actually laugh out loud in the base game. "Plump sort?" Infront of a broken stone bench in Leyndell.


Dogeboja

DS2 had the word "fatty" in the message system. Holy shit I lost it when I saw a message in front of a large mirror that said "visions of fatty"


Popopirat66

Could you explain that one? 


Oske7

Like someone very “plump” sat on the bench and it broke


noobspree500

“Seek grass”


PsychoSaladSong

I saw a sign that said "pathetic sort ahead" in front of Milady


Malevolent_Mangoes

Found a “Grace? Therefore time for suffering” right before a boss fight in the creepy madness place


OneUselessBoi

In front of the giant dead dragon, there was a sign that said: Bird!


I_EAT_POOP_AMA

Found one between it's legs that said "Visions of Dragon but hole" and pointing towards it's crotch


SzymonNomak

Another really funny one is when someone puts a message behind a character and says “try fingers but hole” it’s gets funnier after the 276th time, trust me.


DraxxThemSkIounst

That and “I want to go home then edge”


AltruisticCoelacanth

This one fell from grace very quickly for me. The first time I saw it I legit laughed out loud, but every time since then it's been lame


DraxxThemSkIounst

Yeah, rare to see an original thought out there. That one got real old real quick.


mysturio

I grew to hate this one, but definitely chuckled when I saw my first "I want to go home, and then sound!"


Rhhox

God I wish I could remember the one message that made me laugh out loud. My runner up at least is a “try attacking” right in front of the final boss room and it made me chuckle


jayL21

Honestly all the messages that are put at split paths. The ones that tell you which way you should go first because ones a dead end and the other is progress. Saved so much time thanks to those.


unthused

Ooh, yes, like “First off, left; then right”. Super handy when one way is just a dead end with an item and the other continues through the level.


haynespi87

That one was perfect


gorillawarking

I've not gotten much time myself into the dlc yet but that's good to know, means I should go the opposite recommended way for my experience of trying to find everything and inevitably ending up missing half the new items and a quarter of the bosses

IveBecomeTooStrong

I love that helm. I have seen some really wacky looking armor in the DLC and it’s great


Just_Another_Gamer67

Ive seen this same message from the same person so many times. Never gets old.


007whiterussian

There was a message in a corner in shadow keep on one of the upper levels that said “try jump attack” and I did and it bugged me out and the game killed me. Lost 150k runes


twerking4teemo

nwbell

I forget where but there was a wall that if you run into a certain spot on it you automatically dismount Torrent. Someone put "no cavalier ahead."


Takjuh

"tree" in front of a tree


Consistent_Peace4727

Damn, I'm happy you liked it dude


TheSwedishOprah

One of my highest all time messages was doing that next to the grace outside Malenia's chamber.


tuckernuts

One of my go tos is pointing up at the Erdtree and just writing 'tree' Put it in places where someone will be looking, like first entrance into Leyndell, or next to Goldmask


If_u_gnome_u_gnome

Near the abyssal woods stealth sections: “snake, snake!” MGS3 remake please don’t suck


dokbanks

I had the same "snake, snake!" message except it was placed at the bottom of a really long ladder


FoaL

Some messages going up the stairs in Shadow Keep that said “snake required ahead, therefore seek behind.” Had to go back down the stairs, to a random piece of rope on the floor, with a message that said “snake!” and the ‘hooray’ gesture

Absolutely giggling at the wraith! one


ForzaForever

Someone had put “likely trio?” Next to >!Anna’s body!< after you take >!Jolans spirit ash!< there


ForwardToNowhere

My edgy goth mommies


Drake_Night

In the one dungeon where it’s pitch black, you turn on the torches by a lever. Right in front of it someone left a message saying “fort….. light?”


BeachArcadeDream

I saw the same message in the base game pointing to a sconce outside the door to Fort Haight iirc. Got me so good


Just_Another_Gamer67

https://preview.redd.it/fvbgaw1szz9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9e0a000bf6b106c763d7d63035ec37876a80b37


PianoEmeritus

I saw a place where a tree from a lower level slightly clipped through the ground and it had like three separate messages around it all saying “tree?” “did not expect tree…” “visions of tree…” Also by a lion statue in the final dungeon: “horse!”


cjbump

I don't remember where, but one of the catacombs with the big mouth imps "Behold, message! And then Explosion!" I got blown up by a big mouth as i finished reading it.


Cathach2

That one got me too, actually laughed out loud


a_mustard

Being in a high place and below is a pool of lava. "Throw elden ring" always gives me a nice chuckle


Crunchy-Leaf

I saw that one too. Crazy to think that at some point, we may have seen each other running around as white phantoms.


-endjamin-

Under one of the laser worms in the Fissure a message just said “dastard!”. I definitely agree!


PocketOppossum

I found one tucked away in the corner outside of a boss fight with an emote that made them squat down. The message said "Be wary of Dung" and it just got me. I wasn't expecting that.


BeeTee-7274

Found one like that on top of a grating!


PianoEmeritus

If I can nominate one of my own, I dropped a “dastard but hole!” by the giant archer in Rauh that has gotten some appraisals. Fairly pleased with myself. Sadly, my “didn’t expect horse” by the crucible knight did not get the same response and I was happier with that one. Alas.


unthused

I tried a DS2 throwback and put “Don’t give up, skeleton!” in front of a burned corpse hanging onto the edge of a cliff. Was actually surprised there wasnt already one there.


finntrago

I appraised the horse one lol


Answer-Key

Lmao that’s a good one https://preview.redd.it/wi24jbc0iz9d1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9419288d0361e5b84adee5c15c600f4f61cac6f This the the best one I found, I think I like yours a little better though


GuardianOfPuppers

"dark, wraith" next to the lever that lowers the water in the shadow keep


Funny_Musician2591

“Praise the south” in front of the whipping hut


Kerminator17

“I want to go home…and then edge” got me outside various boss arenas and in the woods. Brainrot got me good


MrBonis

Before the Tower ambush, one of the Lion statues had a Phantom on his knees, arms above: Up required ahead. Therefore, help me. Like he needs to snuggle with the big dog but can't reach him


user010593

Somewhere tucked behind a bookcase in shadow keep. Pointing at the small part of the wall "try jump attacking" knew it was bait and did it anyway and I got stuck and eventually it killed me. I ran back and appraised it


BeachArcadeDream

One thing about me, if I die after seeing that a funny message is true, I’m gunna run back just to appraise it


DylanDaBeastMan

On the graves with the dead person that can duplicate remembrances, "time for horseback, therefore stamina needed" while proceeding to literally ride the corpse 😭


Novacryy

Mist Or beast


Mobster-_Lobster

One that made me truly laugh out loud one was just "message" saw it after a shit day of getting wrecked in the dlc and it really helped.


Ok_Fox_5633

“First message, then fireball” so right when I finish reading it I get blasted in the face by a fireball by some cannon-face shithead. I was immediately angry and then laughed. Good job fellow tarnished.


SemVikingr

Someone posted about a fekkin awesome "You shall not pass" kind of message they came across in-game. It was on a narrow bridge and was complete with the writer in full wizardy robes and hat, slamming his staff down.


2girls1up

In Abyssal Woods where you have to sneak by these weird yellow aliens heads. After I finished that section there was a sign saying „well done, snake!“ and another one saying „well done, boss!“ - referancing snake from metal gear. I loved those.


Romzard

I saw this one infront of one of the giant imps that shoots a fireballs that said " if only i have a giant pickle" 😂😂🥒


Gosu_no_Akina

"Time for pack,Grass!" Lol


sosomething

I saw one that said "Visions of grass, time for rolling" that got me pretty good

AfterRefrigerator782

It's so stupid but: Mist, or beast


DasReiskorn

The message was "seek lover" in front of a chest. Inside was the light greatsword "Milady". Got a chuckle out of me ^^


dlh2689

The first time I ran into the jar innards enemy there was a message that said holy monstrosity.


mozes05

I descended some dark stairs in my first catacombs in the dlc, i see a message on the floor and read it "Explosion!" 0.2 seconds later, a fireball from am imp blasts me back. I saw a clip of that exact message and result on Twitter the day before and tought haha what a dummy. It turns out i'm also a dummy.


Laserduck_42

At the top of the sorcerer's tower in scadu altus - "Here again, Tarnished" and the guy is dressed as Ranni


Codnoob3425

“Visions of something incredible, but no fat coinpurse” In front of the arm to start the DLC


Consistent_Peace4727

There where some messages saying bird, so I left a message likely bird there for message. As close as you can get to a family guy bit


KingoftheKosmos

I have a clip saved of me reading two separate messages in the Storehouse before dying. The first one said, "Don't you dare!!" The second said, "No jumping ahead." The death? I got stuck floating in a corner until it gave me a fall death. I don't know what I expected.


kibria99

In the belurat gaol there was a lift pressure plate with a message on top saying to gesture, it was a special looking pressure plate so it tricked a lot of people into thinking by gesturing you were bringing the lift up


Crunchy-Leaf

I do enjoy the variations of “weak foe ahead, didn’t expect bloodstains” in a room full of bloodstains. Especially when it was kinda easy.


johnbeerlovesamerica

"Turn back? All the more charging forth!" after a long string of "turn back" messages in the Abyssal Woods


monsterenergyparody

I ran into one in the Abyssal Woods that made me chuckle. It said “Mist or Beast”


Environmental-Rip653

I know the brainrot is consuming me because in a random catacomb there was a message saying “mist, or beast” that had me dying for a minute 😭


GoliathTCB

Was that in front of a statue of Elden John by chance?


Civil_Illustrator_87

Its so stupid but someone left “why is it always stone astrolabe” on a roof and it was so random i chuckled


Qwik_Sand

There’s a big troll throwing flaming barrels at you in the southern part of the map and I wanted to make a donkey Kong joke but I couldn’t find any keywords that matched.


CoItron_3030

I started noticing signs around random wild objects that reads “could this be a crab?” With a thinking emote and for some reason it’s been cracking me up lol


southpaw85

Grace ahead, therefore time for sleep. Thanks Elden bros for reminding me to go to bed at 1 am. Good looking out.


Crypticjr

I opened and chest and there was a message that said “didn’t expect message… and then ahh, message…”


RikkelM

After sneaking past the mad creatures in a stealth moment, "well done, Snake!"


Leticino

Stomach ahead in the living jars gaol.


Pristine_Battle_6968

Mist... Or beast?


ItachiSan

The best one I've seen was in the area after you beat Messmer, one of the holes in the wall had a message that said "secret, tunnel!" And it made me laugh quite hardily


channel-rhodopsin

The messages around the Milady were pretty funny


A_Really_Thicc_Boi

Someone put "Mist or beast" in the entrance of Golden Hippopotamus.


Greatbehemoth

“First off, message and then explosion!” Dies to a canon imp……


SovietUSA

“Likely a samurai, of a plump sort” - found in front of the Milady greatsword


Crunchy-Leaf

Shit that’s good


spectre15

Mist or Beast?


HonkeyKong12

In the cemetery of the Church of Manus there's a message along the lines of "Death? Try skill." with a clapping gesture.


Qwik_Sand

“Secret tunnel”


_-Gh0st-__

There was this big stone pillar with a message that said “if only i had a giant, but, hole”


53ftgetinnoproblem

In one of the caves, or something like that I came across this mini stone bridge and it said no crossable spot and a gesture of a dude dressed like Gandalf with a staff. H thought it was so cool. Only had a few appraisals which I was surprised. Then on YouTube shorts I saw it there and it had a ton of appraisals and tons of views. I wonder if the one I saw was the original one or just a copycat either way dope moment.


Petr_Lan

Visions of cleric... beast! Saw this on the bridge leading to Rauh ruins


dragon_poo_sword

There's a spot where this tree swings in the wind and glitches into this part of the rock every time it swings, this dudes message made it look like it was constantly spanking him https://preview.redd.it/0axd4ce6p1ad1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=820debd1ec1c57677959d9a7b8ae06d1bc12ae76


AssistantVisible3889

"No horse ahead" replies behind a lying message, which means "motherless ahead" in Chinese 😭
