It’s a well-established fact that Elden Ring holds many secrets and easter eggs; the game is huge, vast, enormous. It doesn't matter how many hours you’ve put in, there’s likely something in The Lands Between that you’ve missed. Enter Reddit and its leagues of players who have a handy discussion that will point out some incredible secrets.
On the Elden Ring subreddit a user asked the collective, “What are the biggest secrets in the game?” They specified they didn’t want lore, they wanted secrets they could hunt down for themselves. And Reddit did not disappoint.
Elden Ring will be expanding soon with the DLC Shadow of the Erdtree

The top reply is a hidden corridor holding a chest which can be found in Deeproot Depths, “located on the wall adjacent to Hyetta (in the area where the Frenzied Flame Proscription is located). Roll towards the wall; it will disappear, revealing a short hallway. At the end of this hallway, there is a chest. Behind the chest, another disappearing wall.” FromSoftware has always loved their vanishing walls, I know I spent plenty of time rolling into random walls, just in case.
Another user recommends a slightly different action to the norm when you arrive at Weeping Peninsula, “at the first merchant when you hit the spiritspring w torrent, don't jump on the plateau, instead jump southeast to land on the tower there, and grab the best early shield in the game.”
I’m currently replaying Elden Ring, so I’m making note of all of these tips. There’s a bit of everything in the thread including, “You can use crystal darts to short-circuit stone imps, erdtree burial watchdogs, and giant golems.” from one user. Or another who jumps in with, “The cinqueda, the dagger used by Gurranq, can be obtained by platforming down the cliff behind the Bestial Sanctum. The way down isn't exactly obvious and will take some weird jumping to reach the bottom.” Whether you’re playing for the first time or the 10th time, check out the secrets in this thread.
