dream come true

[wooden mortar]

[dusky wolf]

ye why

[wooden mortar]

[dusky wolf]

yea he gave me it he got spare

[wooden mortar]

is there more spare🙏

[dusky wolf]

also prosthesis and rotten winged

[wooden mortar]

name the supplier bro

[prime talon]

mf NO

its me :p

[prime talon]

atleast they wasnt begging for 1.6bil runes and a sacred relic sword 😭

[wooden mortar]

that was an honest try that many people don't do. people should be commended by my bravery

[prime talon]

bro..

im crine

[wooden mortar]

so perchance is there more spares

[prime talon]

no

[wooden mortar]

wait how did u even get extra shard of Alexander

[dusky wolf]

ng+

[prime talon]

by playign the game idk bro

u should try it

[wooden mortar]

ng+ starts counting everything time you make new character?

[dusky wolf]

ye

[prime talon]

i lost my skill i can barely get malenia low out of 1st phase

[dusky wolf]

ngl when i killed her i used mohgs trident

[prime talon]

have u seen that dual gravestone shield tank build with the mimic tear

they bullied malenia

[dusky wolf]

the one that can tank the waterfowl dance?

[prime talon]

yh

[dusky wolf]

theres also one with the rapier and a shield

[tender quiver]

and give her a free heal lol

better to learn how to avoid it

[dusky wolf]

i saw some clip they used it on consort radahn

[prime talon]

its a shield for a reason ur meant to block it

[tender quiver]

which still heals her

[prime talon]

u dont die atleast

and also u could probably rinse her with a poke weapon before she does it again

[tender quiver]

frost pot cancels waterfowl and doesn't give her a bunch of healing

there's other ways of dpsing her to hell that are more efficient too

[prime talon]

why do you always have to try and argue against everything i say

it getting quite annoying'

[wooden mortar]

how to use steam qr code scanner with the qr code being in the same device as the scanner

[prime talon]

what are we on about bro

[wooden mortar]

clicking the link doesn't work and there's no paste option

[fierce cape]

Which is better banished knights halberd or bloodhound fang?

[tender quiver]

because I'm giving my input and suggestions to do things better, that is all

no aggression or anything meant by it

[prime talon]

sometimes inputs arent needed

[prime talon]

ikik

[tender quiver]

you can just ignore me if it bothers you

[prime talon]

i did like the waterfowl thing tho

[fierce cape]

?

[feral gorge]

different weapon classes so its impossible to directly compare

try both out, see which moveset you like more, use that

[civic bone]

as a bloodhound lover id say bloodhound is stronger, bcause of its ash of war

but the banished knights halbert is also a really good weapon

[feral gorge]

as a bloodhound hater i will say it is the single most overrated weapon in the entire game

not even that its bad, but its used by over half the playerbase because of stupid youtube videos claiming its the best weapon in the game

its nowhere near there.

[civic bone]

my first run was with that weapon and i managed to use it to complete the game and even complete the dlc, and i know its overrated but its a good weapon for beginners since its really easy to aquire early game

[feral gorge]

completing the dlc is not a solid benchmark for a weapons rating tbf, literally every single weapon in the game can do that

[civic bone]

arguably, every weapon is really strong if ur good in optimizing that weapon

[feral gorge]

thats exactly what im saying yeah

theres over 300 weapons in the game, yet every other person you see is running bhf

[civic bone]

i still remember the time i found out that some ashes of war have a follow up. was at i think maliketh when i found it out about bloodhound

[feral gorge]

😭

[civic bone]

tbh, after that first run ive never used it again. just bcause i love katana's etc more

[feral gorge]

i personally love 2h twinblades, even though they arent the strongest

[civic bone]

ive also once done a str run, but stupidely op. constantly stance breaking a boss is fun at first but it makes the game super easy

[feral gorge]

the moveset is extremely fun and you can still very comfortably beat the entire game/dlc with them

[civic bone]

dual wield bandits curved swords is also super op. strong weapons and really versetile

ive done a rl1 with it and to kill for example an undead drake (forgot their names) i just applied holy affinity instead of bleed

[feral gorge]

ghostflame dragon

[civic bone]

thx

they are one of my fav drake types in the game, just bcause they have a different move set

btw, why are they called ghostflame dragons bcause they are drakes right? (2 legs and wings that also function as hands)

[prime talon]

nah aura

[civic bone]

ooof, i see ur doing the dual bandit curved swords

[prime talon]

yes

i barely jump attack

[civic bone]

do you have millicents prostesis?

[prime talon]

i lowkey like them just for how they work when u attack

[civic bone]

id say for malenia jump attacks can only be done for certain type of attacks, bcause she sometimes has a follow up that is too quick to dodge after doing the jump

[prime talon]

i still do a lot but i see myself normal hitting more for certain bosses

[civic bone]

i know, had the same for the final boss in the dlc while doing my rl1 run

[prime talon]

i dodge waterfowl dance but its always when i want to heal she'll run at me and do the dash + 9 swings attack

and i get ONE SHOT

[flint geyser]

should i use blood affinity or bloodflame blade incantation for nagakiba

[civic bone]

best thing to do is just kinda wait till she is a bit furhter away to heal

[civic bone]

does nagakiba not already have a bleed effect?

or am i delusional?

[prime talon]

bro istg its either i will do up to 2nd phase or die instantly

[flint geyser]

yes but blood affinity gives more buildup

[prime talon]

it does but its low

[civic bone]

hmmm, maybe bloodflame for the aura? (ur blade is flaming red)

[prime talon]

i used blood affinity for perm buildup boost, it will give u 102 buildup

with like 40 arc atleast

[flint geyser]

thats very high

but idk how much bloodflame gives

[feral gorge]

keen with bfb is better

[prime talon]

it has good buildup but if ur looking for bleed wpns just go for bandits curved swords or sum

[feral gorge]

blood affinity you only want when youre high level, like 200+

if nto that then just go occult

[prime talon]

my build gives 100 build up on both swords and it does mad dmg

[flint geyser]

i like nagakiba for the long range

[civic bone]

there is another curved sword that has a standard bleed effect. i once used it to combine bleed with frost

[flint geyser]

and occasional bloodloss

[feral gorge]

Adds fire AR to weapon (0.4 * Spell Buff; only uses faith scaling) and bleed buildup to weapon; the 2 bleed ticks 10/s for 2 seconds (19 total ticks)

[prime talon]

hol on im mid malenia fight, 2nd phase rn

[civic bone]

gl

[flint geyser]

okay i will try keen + bfb thank you for the advice!

[prime talon]

damn half hp

she keeps making me think she'll do waterfowl but she's just levitating for the heck of it

[civic bone]

my next elden ring run will probably be a rick soldier of god build (seems like a fun build to try)

i could maybe do a rl1 run again (or start my current completed one in ng+ to already use the items i have)

[prime talon]

no way i dodge all of waterfowl dance but i get killed by the dash +9 hit attack bro im so bipolar with how i can dodge

[civic bone]

which combo is that?

[raven wave]

Wondering the same thing

[prime talon]

idk but its annoying

[civic bone]

like, i dont remember her doing a combo higher then 3 outside of her clone and waterfowl attack

[prime talon]

its like she dashes forward, doies a flurry of hits, then a big hit

i could clip it next time i get hit by it

im mid 2nd phase cutscene rn

[civic bone]

ah that one, idk how i did it but i probably dodged that one purely with muscle memory

can you dodge clone attack perfectly?

[prime talon]

clone attack?

which one is that, if its a 2nd phase attack i havent seen it

[civic bone]

gl, ur probably gonna die during that one

[raven wave]

She stays in one place while she sends her clones lunging at you a few times then she comes with a lunge herself

[prime talon]

ah well gg

[raven wave]

It’s a phase 2 attack and you can simply run away from it and roll into the last one if you’re not far enough

[civic bone]

and under her is a damage area so you cant stick close to her

[prime talon]

wait i mean i could probably melt her before she does it maybe

cus i do that before she can even use waterfowl once

[raven wave]

It’s not a exactly a very hard move to dodge

[civic bone]

i learned a specific way to dodge it which is a bit cooler then running away XD

[raven wave]

That’s nice

I still run away

[civic bone]

i think its just overwelming the first few times you see it

[raven wave]

What’s bad is not knowing what distance to keep from the scarlet aeonia the first time you fight her

[civic bone]

i got a move which is: dodge back, dodge forward, walk, dodge forward, dodge sideways and this should normally let me dodge all her attacks

[raven wave]

That got me a few times on my first time playthru

[prime talon]

i die on the attack when she goes up into the air like she does for waterfowl and slams her blade into the floor, with a pink circle exploding

[civic bone]

it almost had me on my rl1 attempt bcause i got impatient

[raven wave]

That’s cool but running away is alright here because she closes the gap and sets up the punish herself

[civic bone]

i know, but i couldnt really use that punishing window bcause i had to regen stamina so i thought, why not just do a dodge like that

[raven wave]

Yeah you simply run away and maintain your distance, it’s her scarlet aeonia attack

[prime talon]

oh my god how fat am i, i was deciding on what fast food to eat mid malenia fight 😭😭😭

jesus

[civic bone]

isnt there like a specific que where you can kinda guess that its that attack and just run away?

[raven wave]

I mean power to you for min maxing punish windows

[prime talon]

idk

[raven wave]

Popeyes obviously

[prime talon]

im aussie lad

[civic bone]

like, if she just jumps in the air its that, clone attack or waterfowl

and all the other times she jumps are after she did an attack and that attack is just her slamming her sword on the ground, doing a little explosion (but when ur behind her its a free punish window)

[raven wave]

Idk what yall have vegemite on bread ig

I wish you could just backstab malenia

[civic bone]

like some dlc bosses(forgot his name but the one before midra)

makes the fight so much easier bcause i can just repeatedly backstab him

[raven wave]

Before Midra?

Ah Jori

[civic bone]

yeah that one

[prime talon]

im thinking hungry jacks (ur burger king essentially)

[raven wave]

Elder Inquisitor

Yeah well I always backstab there I cannot be bothered to fight it

[tender quiver]

this means you are becoming capable of fighting the boss without actively thinking about how to react to specific moves
You're almost there

[civic bone]

when fighting him i accidentally backstabbed him and then did that repeatedly to the point where he just couldnt do anything

[raven wave]

Do they have any version of a chipotle chicken burger

[prime talon]

idk what cipotle has

[tender quiver]

I fight bosses while doing my work often because my brain can focus on the problem while I focus on the fight smile

[raven wave]

That’s the Strat

[prime talon]

getting there.. i hope.. im like 1 in 3 tries to get to 2nd phase

[tender quiver]

and by I, I mean my hands

[raven wave]

No way Australia doesn’t have chipotle and by that I don’t mean the brand

[tender quiver]

chipotle is only in the US afaik

[prime talon]

thye dont

[tender quiver]

I googled it

their largest non-us market is canada, and that's only 41 restaurants

[prime talon]

yo i made it to 2nd phase with 10, +12 pots left

[tender quiver]

ignore the AI text nonsense

[tender quiver]

you got this twin

[prime talon]

HOW DID I NOT DODGE THE NUKE

thats such an easy thing to dodge too bruh

and i mean like i got her half hp

[native aspen]

||after burninge the erdtree with Malenia, there will be no way to get to the three fingers anymore to later use the needle and get rid of them entirely?||

[prime talon]

im not THAT bad

[raven wave]

Uh what

Do you intend to remove their mark

Or do you wish to get it

[native aspen]

I want to get to then entirely remove it from the game, unlocking other endings again.

however I feel like there is no way to do this as I'm asking in my previous question?

[civic bone]

||i think its always possble to get rid of the frenzied flame mark if you havent killed millicent or defeated malenia btw||

[civic bone]

||if you want to get it, its also always possible to get the mark at any point during ur run||

[raven wave]

Do Millicent’s quest line, defeat malenia to get Miquellas needle and then beat placidisax and use the needle in his arena

It doesn’t matter if you’ve burned the tree as long as you can continue Millicent’s questline

[native aspen]

||I didn't yet recieve it yet - this is kinda included in the question, as from my understanding melina would be gone instead, being at the forge of giants with the three fingers blessing. I want go get her dialogue and after this get the three fingers blessing -> remove it later. This is not possible?||

[civic bone]

are you trying to get all the endings? bcause if ur planning on doing a ng+ to get the other endings, you dont have to remove the frenzied mark, it should automatically be recet if ur starting ng+ (if i remember it right)

[prime talon]

atp do i just use mimic tear for malenia

[civic bone]

dont cave in to the thoughts, you almost have her

[prime talon]

i dont know man

[civic bone]

just do her without, the feeling of satisfaction will be that much higher

[native aspen]

I were planing to reload the save in order to see different endings but the ||frenzied flame|| one

[prime talon]

its really tempting..

[raven wave]

If you didn’t receive the mark of the 3 fingers then why are you trying to remove it

[civic bone]

ah so,|| btw do you know that there is a secret cutscene tied with the frenzied flame ending?||

[raven wave]

If you don’t have the mark you are not locked into frenzyflame ending anyways

[native aspen]

I feel you - I'm at her atm, too.

[prime talon]

gl

[raven wave]

You’re free to choose any ending

[civic bone]

he wants to copy his save files right after defeating the final boss so he can just get all the different endings back to back without having to do another playthrough right?

[native aspen]

I do want to receive it in order to get an item and then banish their influence from the game entirely. (that's the plan)

[civic bone]

||if you burned yourself at the forge of the giants instead of melina you will get a secret cutscene during the frenzied flame ending||

[raven wave]

What item?

[native aspen]

||Frenzied Flame Seal||

[buoyant ether]

can u recommend me any parry shield to use, im very close to the golden kingdom if it helps

some good perry shield for now to use

[civic bone]

buckler

[raven wave]

I mean you’re gonna have to go through the entire Millicent questline beat malenia beat placidusax route anyways

If you want to remove their mark

You can save right before receiving the mark if you wanted to get other endings

[native aspen]

not sure about this - never been there - however it sounds to me from minor spoilers I had - when using ||Miquella's Needle|| I'll not get to the|| frenzied flame ending|| at all in this playthrough?

[prime talon]

chat 8 pots left and 2nd phase do i have this

[raven wave]

Believe

[prime talon]

hol on we need some peak music

[native aspen]

I finished Millicents quest already, I'm pre Melania/||Burning||

[buoyant ether]

i killed that zombie that gives it in the castle😭😭

is there any other guy that sells it

[civic bone]

there is a merchant on the coast west side of limgrave that sells it

[prime talon]

is the 1st part of waterfowl dance even dodgeable

[civic bone]

you got a bell bearing from him, go to the twin maiden husks in the roundtable and give that to them. you can then buy the items that he sells normally

[buoyant ether]

that guy under the bridge?

[civic bone]

yeas

[buoyant ether]

ok thanks bro

[raven wave]

No worries then just get the mark, burn hyetta for the seal, beat malenia for the needle then beat placidusax and use the needle

[civic bone]

yes and no, you can dodge it by confusing her tracking mechanisme, but dodging through it is not possible

[raven wave]

Then you can burn the erdtree and resume your other endings

[prime talon]

yeah ragebait

i want style points 🙁

[ionic schooner]

Yes, but it's much harder than second and third part and if you build properly you can tank it partially just fine

[civic bone]

you can always look it up for how to dodge waterfowl point blank or watch a youtuber that did her rl1 with a +0 weapon

with the latter being the best way to kinda learn how to dodge it

[ionic schooner]

Easiest dodge is to start running away as soon as you see her going up and then rolling into the attack right before it ends

But obviously you may react too late, especially considering that malenia has like 4 attacks that look pretty much the same as waterfowl start

[civic bone]

my go to way is if im far enough away just run away from her and then jump away. then dodge into the second fury and strafe the third

[native aspen]

||yes, that's obvious an option - however then I need to finish the rest of the game ash capilal thing and crumbling, maybe more, never did this)twice?! Sounds easier to me to remove their influence right away.
I wanted to know:
a) After burning the Erdtree, there is no way to get the "blessing of the three fingers" anymore?
-> b) even when removing the blessing with Miquella's Needle - this means goodbye to Melina (didn't I even "save" her?)||

[prime talon]

why would they make malenia this way??? like why do 4 moves look EXACTLY like her waterfowl start up

[ionic schooner]

Because she's so easy to cheese they had to make her annoying so that there's at least some challenge

You can literally just spam her to death with any weapon with good poise damage

[prime talon]

did you say... CHEESE?? holy put me on

nah jokes

[ionic schooner]

Well, there's millions of ways to cheese her

My favorite is this incantation https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Burn+O+Flame!

If you hit malenia at least once with it she goes into infinite stunlock

[prime talon]

thats gotta be patched

[ionic schooner]

If fromsoftware wanted to patch every single cheese in this game it would take more efforts than making elden ring 2

[native aspen]

uh, I did see a pvp video with a similar trick, using zweihander+handaxe combo (frame timing thing) - would this work here, too? (not like I'd like to win this way)

[ionic schooner]

Probably. She's just very vulnerable to poise damage overall

You can take morgott blade and just spam her with basic attacks

And that's enough to break her poise 90% of the time

[raven wave]

A. You can get their blessing even if you burn the erdtree
B. It’s goodbye depending on what you did.
If you get the blessing of the 3 fingers before burning the erdtree you will be burning yourself instead of Melina. She will come and declare you as her enemy, and after your become the lord of the frenzied flame she will appear in a cutscene at the end of the game vowing to kill you.
If you get their mark after burning the erdtree she’s dead, and won’t come back even if you get their blessing

[native aspen]

||I did this- however the SoG at the three fingers is not available anymore - there will be a different way to them?||

[raven wave]

Idk how that’s possible

You’re sure you had the grace right

[prime talon]

can someone tell me how i have nearly killed malenia but not rennala??...

[past eagle]

Ashen Capital has zero impact on the sewers and frenzy proscription.

So you just didnt grab the grace doen there

[past eagle]

Difficulty is subjective to each person

[prime talon]

no i have killed her many times its just that i havent killed her on this ng

and u may be thinking of the dlc one,i killed that one earlier today

oh ive already killed her

i never got the grace LOL

[native aspen]

||my bad. I think I expected the grace more in the middle. It's here. Same as Hyetta || tyvm

[buoyant ether]

should i offer them?

[raven wave]

Yeah no worries. Also btw you don’t have to spoiler stuff here

Grace is called frenzied flame proscription I think

[past eagle]

Gives you access to those npcs shops since they're now dead

[raven wave]

💀

[prime talon]

back to malenia

[buoyant ether]

should i use the buckler shield?,

[past eagle]

If you want to

[native aspen]

well, I remember the first time I came here for help (reading other peoples screenshots) and I got a little bit tilted about being spoiled in mayor aspects 😮 So for myself, I mark content new players might discover on their own

[buoyant ether]

if its good for parry yeah id

idk if its good

[raven wave]

That’s noble of you but this channel is for help so we don’t require spoiler tags as someone asking here pretty much is not playing blind

[past eagle]

Iirc it has the same parry frames as others, it just weighs less

[abstract trellis]

buckler has the shortest recovery and almost the highest active

so it's kinda just preference

[prime talon]

malenia 2nd phase is so bs

[abstract trellis]

if you can afford the weight and stats, a good medium shield like banished/brass/messmer soldier etc with carian retal will kinda just br better in most cases

[slate plank]

i think i screwed up something everything fire.

[raven wave]

Everyone who knows ball knows that you should parry with curved swords

[prime talon]

what

can u even do that

[raven wave]

Indeed you can

[prime talon]

i MIGHT try ts

[slate plank]

I know Ball he's an Egyptian god

Bal

Baal

[raven wave]

Baal is a demon from the Ars Goetia

[prime talon]

yo wtf it takes 3 parries to down malenia??

[raven wave]

It takes 3 parries on any boss

To stagger them

[prime talon]

whattt

[raven wave]

Yeah

[prime talon]

thats mad

[raven wave]

Or should I say major boss

Not a black knife or champion duelist posing as a boss

[prime talon]

pre nice run

[fierce cape]

Alright guys how do I use these ash of war things and what are they

[prime talon]

they r a weapons ability

if on pc, press control then right click

idk abt on roller tho

[fierce cape]

1 per weapon?

[past eagle]

Correct

[fierce cape]

if i wanna change it from one weapon to another is it possible

[prime talon]

u can hold 2 weapons at once tho

[past eagle]

They are interchangeable

[prime talon]

yes, with the whetblade in the 1st ruins u see, on the right side is a dungeon looks staircase and u find a chest behind a door

[past eagle]

@prime talon are you wearing rakshasa set btw?

[prime talon]

yes

[past eagle]

Ah nvm, was wondering about the debuff icon just in case you had daedicars Woe tali on by accident

[buoyant ether]

im level 46 is there any recommend boss? i finished the academy

[prime talon]

btw are great runes equippable??

[past eagle]

Activate them in their respective divine towers and then you can equip them at a grace.
You then need to use a rune arc to active the effect of your equipped great rune

[prime talon]

is the effect perm?

[past eagle]

Until you die

[prime talon]

oh

so its not good for bosses

ill keep that info for later

[past eagle]

It can be

Morgotts would probably be best for you, huge boost to hp

[fierce cape]

How do I do a crit on a boss? I stand near then and click when theyre on 1 knee and nothing happens

[prime talon]

behind or infront of them

[past eagle]

Humanoid bosses hou stand either at their chest or their back
For bigger enemies you'll see a yellowish glow wherever you need to do it

[prime talon]

i died to the clone move bruh

running seemed to work

[past eagle]

You can sprint to avoid all the clones, just need to dodge when she lunges herself

[prime talon]

alr

bro its always this SINGLE barrage attack that i die to

i dodge waterfall and as soon as it comes in i die

you do not know how mad i am.

im genuinely going to cry

it was that one move i always have trouble with too

the stupid dash with a flurry of attacks

that 1 hits me

im FUMING

[native aspen]

you processed much further than me, through! Keep going - when you made it that far, you're at 90% anyways. The knowledge you got won't be unlearned

[prime talon]

NONONO THATS HOW LOW I GOT HER???

on that attempt i sent a photo of, thats her after lifesteal

[civic bone]

ive had bosses on litterally 1 hp left and died. but its a good sign, you almost have her

[prime talon]

idk bro 😭

[slate plank]

idk where to go now i killed all the guys here.

[inland thistle]

Can someone help me with warpriest?

[slate plank]

I have one spot at the top but idk if there is anything there.

[blissful jewel]

I have 329h of nightrein and still stuck lv2 abyss with randoms. 🙁 the best was depth 4 but u used to play 2 player.

[ionic schooner]

There is a lot there. Come back to the lift of rold

[random gorge]

stacking multiple different damage negation passives is the high depth cheat code if you arent confident avoiding imo

[ionic schooner]

You missed two big locations

[slate plank]

im at the lift of rold

[ionic schooner]

||You need two parts of secret haligtree medallion||

[slate plank]

i have it

[prime grove]

Is it worth it to build
Blasphemous blade
Hand of malnia
Dark moon
To 10?

[fierce cape]

can someone tell me where the map is?

[civic bone]

its that light spot in the dark area

thats where you will always find the map of the area

[fierce cape]

this

[civic bone]

yes

[prime grove]

[ionic schooner]

Any weapon you like is worth building to 10

[prime talon]

took a break and 2nd phase with 10 pots left

i got this

yeah no 1st attack is waterfowl, ill never beat ts ig

[ionic schooner]

But I would say that dark moon greatsword is the weakest out of three

[vocal moon]

@tender quiver Long time no see

[prime talon]

that pc-co-op looking juicy but i musn't give in for i am the elden lord 🤞🥹

[willow sun]

We yes WE are Elden Lords

[prime talon]

im doing malenia and a lord doesnt back down against the face of death

[willow sun]

You’re… what?

[prime talon]

fighting

LOL

[willow sun]

😅

[prime talon]

actually i think that works better

[vocal moon]

@burnt thistle i remember you good old friend

actually bro might have me blocked 💀

[prime talon]

i'd rather die trying than to die fighting ykyk

[kind pond]

does the radhan skip in the church still work?

[past eagle]

We dont do glitches or exploits here

[prime talon]

radahn isnt hard

[kind pond]

no i mean to reach radhan , there is a glitch to skip his tower and go straight to him

i mean does that still work

[past eagle]

^

[broken venture]

You mean base game radahn?

[past eagle]

Read the rules

[prime talon]

genuinely just kill godrick and wtv its really not hard

[prime talon]

stop trying to ragebait

[simple totem]

genuinely just kill malenia its really not hard

[ionic schooner]

Just take morgott blade and spam n1 every time she tries to attack

And when she gets stunned crit her and use point finger emote to ragebait

[civic bone]

ur almost there

[winged rock]

Deadass though Melania is such an overrated boss

I beat her 3rd try on my ng+4 run and first try on all the others

[primal blaze]

Are upliftings worth using in an rl1 run

[abstract trellis]

it's a weaker damage boost than the golden vow ash of war, and also only works on physical damage, so only if the bubble is that valuable to you

[tidal crow]

hey guys

[abstract trellis]

could also just overwrite the damage boost portion by casting the vow ash afterwards

[primal blaze]

Wouldn’t the damage negation be useful or is it not worth relying on

[past eagle]

Its for 1 hit

[regal orchid]

you have other options

[abstract trellis]

it's only for a single hit, so if that's valuable enough for you then you can use it

[past eagle]

Useful in a pinch

[primal blaze]

I’ll stock up for annoying fights only then, like the fire giant.

[fierce cape]

How do I get there?

[past eagle]

Rannis quest

[abstract trellis]

look at the path that leads to the entrance
follow said path

[fierce cape]

Ok

[past eagle]

Give her the fingerslayer blade to get the inverted statue which let's you invert the interior of carian study hall, which let's you get to an elevator that takes you up to the bridge to get to the tower

[fleet owl]

what is the weapon called you use against the snake rykard?

/ what does it look like?

[broken venture]

Serpent hunter

[fleet owl]

thank you <3

[hidden tundra]

the spear you get in the arena you fight him in

[grizzled sable]

hmm

[fleet owl]

beat him in my 2nd try!! c;
yah ik ik, I picked it up, and then traveled to chance my attributes first, and then forgot which one it was x.x

[hidden tundra]

lol it happens

glad to hear you beat him

[fleet owl]

what is that?

[hidden tundra]

it is for part of ria’s questline for one of its endings. personally i just ignore it as it is a bad ending with no real rewards

[slate plank]

what mogh do i have to kill to get dlc?

[fleet owl]

oh :c

[hidden tundra]

the one in the mohgwyn dynasty area. sewers is an illusion

[fair steeple]

should i level intelligence so that i can use sword of night and flame? I’m using the greatsword rn and i just got the coded sword

and my intelligence is at 9

[buoyant ether]

i cant open rennas rise what should i do

[fleet sun]

find fingerslayer blade, if you aleady did, just reload the area

[slate plank]

idk whats supposed to happen but i been waiting a half hour

[fleet sun]

invasion can take a while, another method of varre questline is invading an npc

[buoyant ether]

what level is like ok for that ice dragon next to loretta

[broken venture]

The level you find it at

You don’t have to kill it just get it to half health and see what happens

[minor iron]

how are you?

[granite vault]

wrong channel maybe? xD

[sharp plume]

odd image

but it's appropriate

[weary dew]

How do I get the thorny Cracked Tear?

[broken venture]

Go to the thorny cracked tear store

[granite vault]

its from the snowfield avatar

i think

and that guy is like east of ordina kinda

[late zephyr]

im ising bloodflame blade should i upgrade my seal simce im on my new fresh charavtee

[granite vault]

its a confusing spell honestly. but i know it doesnt scale with stats. i doubt it scales with sacred seal level but im not too sure

[feral gorge]

fire damage of bfb scales with the faith portion of your spellbuff

basically if your seal scales with faith then yes, upgrading the seal will increase your bfb damage

but not by much

[granite vault]

oh dam youre right. only bleed isnt affected by stats. w misinformation by me

[late zephyr]

btw on my fresh save should i kill alexander

and is the alexander shard really make a differencr? vz thwe weaker one

also in this run ofc im going to play the dlc

[fleet owl]

how do i get there?

[granite vault]

if you wanna min max doing he quest is better. its 10% if you kill him early. 15% if you do the quest

[wooden mortar]

guys

What's the weight range for med. load

[granite vault]

30-69% of max

[mighty river]

anyone got tips for beating mohg?

[simple totem]

purifying cracked tear
mohgs shackle

60vig and a max level weapon
avoid using fire damage
do not roll away from him in p2
use the flying attack to reposition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCFH1Fu58Xs&t=6s
use this if you need a reference for attack windows

[mighty river]

Okay

Thank you

[simple totem]

goodluck

[mighty river]

I really need it icl 😭

[winged rock]

Be aggressive

His long pole is easy to dodge and his spells suck

[simple totem]

be patient and use the appropriate attack windows

[winged rock]

Lies

[fierce cape]

how do i beat dragonkin phase 2 thunder attack

[simple totem]

which one

[winged rock]

Dodge

[simple totem]

where he flies away and shoots a bolt in to the ground

[fierce cape]

aoe attack

thudner everywhere on the ground

[simple totem]

you should be able to strafe out of the way

sprint and jump left/right

[robust niche]

Who wants runes

[noble falcon]

No one, get out

[robust niche]

Chill

Its free already dropped

[sharp plume]

you can actually dodge it with good timing or just run away

if you're talking about the one where he throws a big lightning spear on the ground slowly

[fierce cape]

bro forget that attack

this guy is impossible to hit

[gusty imp]

I got to lvl 80 focusing on str and I'm not sure about what weapon to use

Up until now I've been using just highland axe with that flame ash

I'm a complete noob about the equipments available in the game, I'm literally just upgrading this axe cuz I like it and using Banished Knight armor and shield cuz it looks nice

Just cleared the Dragons before Fort Faroth and I'm about to enter

What would you recommend as a better weapon that doesn't take too much of a swing to hit?

I tried some colossal weapons and I don't like em

[late zephyr]

but is it a major difference espciallly in the dlc

[simple totem]

5% is 5% in the base game and dlc

just kill him if you cba doing the quest

[simple totem]

are there any other weapons classes you are interested in specifically

[late zephyr]

but is it drastic in normal new game?

[simple totem]

its 5% twin

no

[late zephyr]

so jist kill then?

[simple totem]

if you dont want to do his quest yh

[late zephyr]

but do you usuallg kill him?

[gusty imp]

Not really tbh I'm enjoying axes, I'm just wondering if I'm missing out on maybe some better options. I got the Warped Axe drop from an omen recently
You reckon that's a better choice?

[simple totem]

both are great its hard to say which is better

warped axe has a different moveset

the light attack chain would be better than highlands

would suit you if you want to be faster

[late zephyr]

whats cba?

[gusty imp]

Ooh that's smth I'd like to check out then! Ty mate!

[simple totem]

cant be bothered

[sharp plume]

asked*

[simple totem]

arsed*

[late zephyr]

u usually kill him or nah?

[simple totem]

dont really use aow setups but if i did then yh id kill him

[fair steeple]

what do i do before burning the erdtree? and should i level dex for the bolt of gransax or stick with my strength build

[simple totem]

use the weapon you like more

anything is strong if you build around it well

[sharp plume]

occult erdsteel dagger

[fleet owl]

how do I get ther

[alpine merlin]

Trading isn’t available but does anyone have a spare rivers of blood I have one on main that I can give back

[simple totem]

wym isnt available

and people wont care abt getting it back someone will just hand you one

[alpine merlin]

Something about bot outage thing

Ahhh okay I see just helping my friend go through the game too used to speed running with rivers of blood 🤣

[rotund root]

how many +25 smithing stones can you get in one play through?

[honest hemlock]

wdym bot outage

[alpine merlin]

Got told to look at the trade channel but there isn’t one due to bot outage

[primal blaze]

Can i have some advice for radahn in rl1, I’m about to go for him but i haven’t fought him since late 2024

[honest hemlock]

oh the mod bot is down?

[alpine merlin]

Yes

[honest hemlock]

that's odd

[honest hemlock]

starscourge or pcr

[primal blaze]

Starscrouge mb

[simple totem]

tragic

[rotund root]

get on ur horse and run when he flies into the air

[honest hemlock]

https://youtu.be/ipU-OeVNi5U this video will show you the most consistent dodges and positioning for the fight, whatever you see Nathan doing is what you should try to do

for base ng and upgraded weapons you can melt him fairly quickly but just be patient and be ready for some of his evil moves

[rotund root]

how many smithing stone +25 can u get in 1 play through

[fleet owl]

how do I get theeeeeeere :c pleeeeease

[honest hemlock]

if you need specific help with something (i.e one particular move) I could probably ping Nathan or troooiiaa or Recycle and they can help you more

otherwise just upgrade your weapon as much as you can and copy the video's positioning

[primal blaze]

Thank you

[rotund root]

@honest hemlock

[honest hemlock]

what's up

[rotund root]

how many smithing stone +25s can u get in 1 playthrough

[honest hemlock]

like atleast 21 I think

idk off the top of my head

more than you'll need for sure

[rotund root]

i need to find 2

[sharp plume]

go around elphael there's one in a chest somewhere

I think it's in the bottom part where the royal revenants are

there's one inside a giant skull in mountaintops

I think it's somewhere in the area after the path to haligtree

the catacomb you get into after using the secret medallion

[stiff hatch]

Can someone help me with ulcreted tree spirit

The one in the fringfolk hero grave

[mental osprey]

From the avenue balcony site of grace, go back to where you saw the erdtree avatar then take a left to the giaaant door.

[simple totem]

#xbox-co-op

[fleet owl]

what is a erdtree avatar?

[mental osprey]

Its the uhm, giant wood flower looking thing with the big staff wait let me get a picture😭

[sharp plume]

I'm sure she saw the one jumpscaring people around the leyndell streets

[mental osprey]

Thas the one

[fleet owl]

oh do I have to beat him?

[simple totem]

no

[mental osprey]

Not at all, just take a left

[junior meadow]

Chat how do I kill Astel without spells

[fleet owl]

alrighty thanks thanks!

[simple totem]

hit his head

[mental osprey]

giant weapon

[junior meadow]

im using dual sacrodermal

with blood

do i change or what??

[simple totem]

dual what

[drifting drift]

what is a sacrodermal 😭

[junior meadow]

bro 😭

[worldly tapir]

ohh

godskin peeler

[mental osprey]

Godskin peeler

[junior meadow]

im spanish im just trying to translate

😭🫰🏻

[drifting drift]

oooh

[mental osprey]

😭🕊

[burnt thistle]

do you think you should use this because you're using twinblades, because you should not

[mental osprey]

Thas a hella fancy name in spanish

[drifting drift]

what are chain attacks anyways

[drifting drift]

its amazing

[junior meadow]

but is a chain attack with L1

[drifting drift]

the weapon is good

[red rampart]

You know that moveset you get when spamming light attack?

[drifting drift]

yeah

[clear pond]

Back to back attacks

[burnt thistle]

when you press R1 repeatedly your character does a combo, then repeats it
a combo is a full chain attack
you are spamming jumping L1, and not a chain attack

[drifting drift]

oh

[polar girder]

a2 translation

[junior meadow]

damn

[red rampart]

It boosts the last input of that spam

[drifting drift]

ok so its the most mid thing of all time

[red rampart]

Yes. Perhaps less than that.

[junior meadow]

brodi i just translated 1 word i didnt know It would have a whole New government name in english 😭

[drifting drift]

dont use it

[polar girder]

aye why you use alexander shard for seppuku

[junior meadow]

im not using sepukku

[burnt thistle]

they're using blood slash*, but also they should still be spamming jl1, not l2

[drifting drift]

he using blood slash

[polar girder]

o just noticed lololol

anyways why blood slash

[red rampart]

I think theres a nieche axe and another few weapons that have few inputs and with quick animations, thats really all its good for.

[polar girder]

I mean idk just askin

[burnt thistle]

because they don't have another blood ash, or black whetblade, see +8 weapon

[drifting drift]

well im not planning on using them really so its mid

[burnt thistle]

4 talisman slots and a +8 weapon however, is pretty weird
go upgrade your weapons

[junior meadow]

do i get to access to the boss fight if i tp

[drifting drift]

ye

[burnt thistle]

what

[drifting drift]

you get access to everything

[polar girder]

whatver, atp just get winged sword insignia then millicent's prosthesis and you stack them together

[drifting drift]

too endgame for him

[junior meadow]

bruh 😭

[drifting drift]

hes low lvl

[rough pilot]

Question. Is there somewhere I can look up a guide on how to do order of things? Trying to do my 1st region lock 😅

[polar girder]

winged sword insignia is in the stillwater cave, right under the first grace of liurnia

[drifting drift]

oh yeah its not rotten

[junior meadow]

im already here to enter the boss fight, if i tp back up can i go here again? i already gave him sum tries and after dying for the third time came here

[drifting drift]

i keep forgetting i watched too many build videos

[burnt thistle]

yes

[polar girder]

and if it was rotten he wouldnt be able to get millicent's prosthesis, its either that or the rotten sword insignia

for now the prosthesis is better bc gives bigger increase and gives 5 dex

[drifting drift]

ng+

[polar girder]

ofc end game

[polar girder]

oh yeah but hes in ng yk like for now

[drifting drift]

i havent played elden ring in a while

[polar girder]

aye @junior meadow rn you can get the winged sword insignia, its as I said in the cave right under the first grace of liurnia

[junior meadow]

thanks bro

[alpine merlin]

Are there any swords I can get for a fresh new account I forgot where everything is haha

[polar girder]

mb, actually the rotten one gives bigger increase but the prosthesis gives 5 dex

[polar girder]

like what kind, there are straight swords, curved swords, light greatswords, greatswords and colossal swords

[junior meadow]

where exactly?

[alpine merlin]

I’m trying to get rivers of blood again as that is what I mained but the account is early early game

[polar girder]

stillwater cave, get to the bottom and put a waypoint right under lake-facing cliffs

[simple totem]

keen uchigatana with bloodflame blade and double slash is a stronger rivers

[polar girder]

if you lf katanas you can get the uchi at the deathtouched catacombs in limgrave or you can kill yura for nagabika near seaside ruins in limgrave

[simple totem]

wouldnt get kiba its bad early on

[polar girder]

still an option to get, as uchi aint the only one

[primal blaze]

Is it a bad idea to go straight for malenia and the dlc bosses after killing morgott and radahn in rl1?

Anything but fire giant tbh

[junior meadow]

struggled with the name bruh in spanish it's translated as "cliff in front of the wetland" 😭

instead of stillwater cave

[simple totem]

you would want a max level weapon for mohg, malenia and dlc content

fire giant goes down pretty quick w a good setup

[polar girder]

I've playing in english for 2+ years so I forgot the name, the thing is, get to the bottom and place a beacon next to that site of grace, and just go there once you are at the bottom

[junior meadow]

can i write u in dm to send pics, i mean i can here but not to fill the chat

[polar girder]

okay

[merry obsidian]

Can anyone help me beat ng+6 Elden beast?

[simple totem]

#playstation-co-op

[merry obsidian]

Ya

[errant sedge]

what do i keep if i do ng+

and what do i lose

[subtle torrent]

Anybody doing the gold runes drop anymore?

[simple totem]

you lose key items and bell bearings that are not in the main shop

so smithing stone bell bearings will stay

[errant sedge]

ive given bell bearings to the husk guy

[shrewd sentinel]

Those are women iirc. The name is twin "maiden" husks

[errant sedge]

yeah

[shrewd sentinel]

Maiden is usually used for women

[queen jungle]

meow

[pliant condor]

Uhm can someone help me get into the dlc ?

[simple totem]

wym by help

[junior meadow]

[pliant condor]

Like i bought it downloaded it and now i am standing here in moghs palace and have no idea what to do

[simple totem]

explore until you find mohg/ search up his location

its pretty straight forward

[desert mist]

🤣🤣

[pliant condor]

Hes already dead

[simple totem]

is radahn dead

[pliant condor]

Under the earth

[pliant condor]

Yeah

[simple totem]

then there should be an npc in mohgs arena

[pliant condor]

He got erased out of existence

[simple totem]

if there is you can interact w the hand in mohgs arena

[pliant condor]

But there isnt thats my problem

[simple totem]

if starscourge radahn
and mohg, lord of blood are dead
you probably didnt download the dlc

check if the games shows shadow of the erdtree in the bottom right when you launch it

[pliant condor]

Hmmm i will instal it again then

[desert mist]

ehhh restart game? reload area

[buoyant ether]

what build should i use

[pliant condor]

Hmm i already did that maybe i restart the console

[simple totem]

[pliant condor]

How good are you ?

[buoyant ether]

[junior meadow]

[carmine gate]

What talismans should I use for a scythe build

[buoyant ether]

[broken venture]

[carmine gate]

[carmine gate]

[junior meadow]

[keen lodge]

go to rennala's arena and take the item inside the chest, then go back to astel's arena and you can go through the back

[junior meadow]

that was it

thanks🫰🏻

[sand yoke]

where is the knights lightning spear incant?

[obtuse bone]

some catacomb

[simple totem]

explaining exploration through text with 0 context on where you are is long

would be easier to search it up

[buoyant ether]

leonaras or nagakiba

[turbid radish]

Nagakiba

[junior meadow]

u don't wanna use uchigatana huh

[buoyant ether]

been using it since the start i wanna change

[buoyant ether]

i heard the nagakiba touch the ground so it makes it hard to use or something

[junior meadow]

nah

but my fav katana is Lunar Veil

moonveil*

[buoyant ether]

when ill get there i will let u know

or its early game one

[junior meadow]

early mid

[errant sedge]

[junior meadow]

[fleet owl]

[errant sedge]

do i lose the remembarances

[simple totem]

related to the dlc i wont spoil it

[fleet owl]

I want malenia to spoil me

[fierce cape]

dragon kin is the worst boss of all time

[burnt thistle]

bite his ankles

[fierce cape]

I had to wait for him to attack -> dodge -> find an opening -> land ONE hit if im lucky because his hitbox is trash and because he does NOT stop attacking -> repeat

[burnt thistle]

yeah you're going to find that as a trend until you learn where you can attack mid combos, if at all

[dapper haven]

is that the sentinel guy on the horse before maliketh

[burnt thistle]

that is a dts yes

[dapper haven]

word. i agree its tough getting in on those guys. i found pretty good success rolling in on most attacks myself. its like a smaller version of the regular tree sentinel

[junior meadow]

no. but u can't dup the ng rememberences in ng+, so dup them now

[dapper haven]

also it may have been luck but i landed a fair amount of jump attacks without getting hit

[buoyant ether]

what builds ud recommend

[late zephyr]

guys im making a double slash nagakiba playthroufh which affimity is the best

[simple totem]

keen

[simple totem]

#1329521082054475796

[buoyant ether]

thx

[late zephyr]

why not bleed and occult

im just anxiety with the buff running out like the bloodflame

[spare stirrup]

Ok

[carmine gate]

Could someone aid me rq on making a build using rivers of blood

[junior meadow]

Alexander shard rotten winged Blade

[carmine gate]

How I get rotten winged blade

[junior meadow]

rotten winged sword sorry, killing malenia

[sharp plume]

finish millicent's quest

[junior meadow]

yeah tripped there

sorry

[carmine gate]

If I chose the 3 fingers ending can I do quest?

[sharp plume]

and it's shortly before malenia, no need to kill her

[gray breach]

I can’t find Alexander anywhere,he’s supposed to be at volcano manor

[junior meadow]

yeah yeah neuron activation

[carmine gate]

Whzt do I use instead of that cuz I'm not near melina at all

Millicent*

[junior meadow]

theres a winged sword talisman, without rotten

[carmine gate]

I have that

[sharp plume]

he will never be at the volcano manor, you can find him near a magma wyrm encounter at mt gelmir standing on lava

[gray breach]

I know I killed the magma wyrm though didn’t find him

[sharp plume]

is the message of his still there outside of volcano manor?

[gray breach]

Guess it’s because i didn’t talk to him after defeating radahn

[sharp plume]

if you didn't he's still there probably

[ashen echo]

I got a bleed bulid does anyone know what I can use to do more damagee

[junior meadow]

lms

[junior meadow]

and the equipment

it's more about the equipment than stats

[ashen echo]

Okay I show you

[ashen echo]

There

[junior meadow]

if u using that jump talisman i would recommend a dual blade build

like godskin peeler

and put them with blood

[proven terrace]

Question is there any spot to grind runes fast I’m like lv 50 mage and I wanna get to like lv 200 for a sovereign carrion build

[ashen echo]

I was using the Scavenger blood curved sword

[ashen echo]

Is the scavenger blood curved sword good?

[junior meadow]

there are much better

[ashen echo]

So which one is better?

@junior meadow

[burnt thistle]

take off the soreseal

[errant sedge]

is the black dumpling any good
i got it randomly while farming for magma blades

[burnt thistle]

if you are understand and are using howl of shabriri, sure
otherwise, no

[errant sedge]

im nt

[ashen echo]

I did but what can I use for more damage

[primal blaze]

Should I go for rellana or the Haligtree. Doing an rl1 run and i just beat Mohg and Radahn

[burnt thistle]

curved swords ultimately shine when using two, and spaming jumping L1 attacks that hit 4 times
otherwise if you stick with one, and have no dlc, consecutive damage talismans like winged sword and millicient may still find benefit if you use ashes of war like spinning slash or are otherwise aggressive
you should have 15 faith for flame grant me strength, and put golden vow on a dagger to buff.

[ashen echo]

So do you think I need seppuku on my sword or no?

[burnt thistle]

... no
cragblade if you wish to weapon buff, or bloodflame blade if you want bleed for whatever reason

[frosty vault]

whats the worse weapon overall( weapon that meant to be weapon not hitting with staff or seal) its googleble question but I want to know your side of view

[ashen echo]

I have double slash is that good?

[burnt thistle]

ivory sicle, varres bouquet, occult weathered sword, occult erdtree dagger

[frosty vault]

thanks sorry for googleble question

[burnt thistle]

go try it out and see if you like it, but if you were to spam damage ashes you'd also want alex talisman

[ashen echo]

Okay and anything else

[burnt thistle]

get a bandit curved sword and actually do damage
if you really like the 2h curved sword moveset, use a shamshir

[tough ore]

Is there any good sorcery with 40 int requirements i can use against fire giant?

[spare raptor]

I need to get the bolt of gransax, for an achievement, but I already unlocked ashen capitals there any way to get the achievement without replaying the game?

[stuck marten]

Can someone help me with rellana?

[last violet]

Can someone help me

I’m stuck on radabeast

[stuck wyvern]

Trading.

[spare raptor]

wdym?

[tribal thistle]

Oh crap this is gen help my had

[spare raptor]

can you elaborate?

[abstract trellis]

Cross Naginata and Guardian's swordspear both work well infused with keen, so there's those two

[tribal thistle]

Don't they have a weakness to a certain damage type? Idk which one sadly

[tribal thistle]

Cross nagitana is a spear right

[abstract trellis]

Yea

has a unique moveset though

[tribal thistle]

I haven't used a spear, just my starting katana
I'll look around for it though

[abstract trellis]

It has some innate bleed like your katana so that's nice

can also buff it with blood grease/bloodflame blade, the latter also being in liurnia

[tribal thistle]

I basically just have dex health and stamina built j probably don't have stats to use spells

[abstract trellis]

from the first main liurnia grace with the merchant if you hug the left cliffside you'll eventually stumble upon a sizeable cave

[tribal thistle]

I'm gonna screenshot this because I'm not home rn

[rustic badger]

4 play through, 4 different endings, should I make new characters to get the other 2 or NG+?

[abstract trellis]

The spell has pretty low requirements so it's not a hassle to use, it's basically just an infinite use blood grease essentially

only needs 12 faith and 10 arcane

small investment that'll help a bunch for pretty much any weapon that already has innate bloodloss

[buoyant ether]

im stuck at godfrey, anything to do?

[abstract trellis]

the golden shade ?

[rustic badger]

The golden one?

[tribal thistle]

Isn't there a blood infusion somewhere?

[buoyant ether]

yeahhh next to the tree

[tribal thistle]

Like an ash of war with innate bleed

[abstract trellis]

The infusion comes with the drawback of chunking your physical damage quite harshly so it's not too useful for lower levels

[rustic badger]

Affinity’s?

[buoyant ether]

yes

[tribal thistle]

Oh I'll just keep looking for something keen then

[tribal thistle]

I think? I didn't read anything I just started fighting stuff

[rustic badger]

They’re both next to the tree.. but tbh use spirit ashes to help

[abstract trellis]

you can get the iron whetblade in stormveil that lets you put keen on your weapon with any ash

[tribal thistle]

Really? That's convenient

[abstract trellis]

do you have at least 40 vigor and a +15 or higher standard weapon

[digital blade]

idk what you guys were talking about vigor being important i managed to beat rykard with 23 vigor

[abstract trellis]

It's in the big dining hall with the grafted scion, one of the doorways leads to a fog wall locked by an imp statue, with the whetblade being behind said wall

[buoyant ether]

far isnt it?

[tribal thistle]

I haven't been to that room I'll have to find it

[buoyant ether]

ok thanks ill find it

[abstract trellis]

quite
i'd take the blood infusion off the katana and upgrade it more

for one, upgrades are the most important thing for a weapon's damage

[buoyant ether]

i wanna change the katana to elenoras

it looks cool

[abstract trellis]

blood infusion isn't doing you favours either since godfrey can't bleed

[buoyant ether]

can u take this off specific katana?

[abstract trellis]

go get that and upgrade it then

[abstract trellis]

you infused it with blood by putting that skill on it, if you just take the skill off or put a different one on you can make it standard, or something else

asides from the minimum stats you need for your weapons, try and focus vigor to 40

[buoyant ether]

im in the middle because in some bosses as much as i know that aint good cause some of them cant bleed and i have the nagakiba and i know that its very versatile

[buoyant ether]

so to upgrade only vigor?

[abstract trellis]

blood infusion reduces your damage in exchange for bloodloss

if you infuse it with a basic physical affinity like keen, you can buff it with something like bloodflame blade, so now you have both good raw damage and bloodloss at the same time

[abstract trellis]

Eleonora's poleblade needs 19 arc but otherwise yeah level vigor

[buoyant ether]

yes

thats what i have

[tribal thistle]

Isn't unsheathe like op

[abstract trellis]

Godfrey is weak to lightning so you could use lightning strike

[abstract trellis]

not OP but yeah it's pretty nice

good damage and 30 poise damage

[tribal thistle]

What's poise damage do

[abstract trellis]

when you hit an enemy enough they sometimes get staggered, and can be riposted for big damage

poise damage dictates when that happens

enemies have poise, weapons do poise damage

[tribal thistle]

oh
I've just been using heavy attacks because they deal the most damage

[abstract trellis]

if you do charged heavies often you've probably stance broken a few bosses/enemies by now

it makes a very distinct noise

[buoyant ether]

wait , i have also that one on top

[tribal thistle]

Yeah Margit and God Rick just kinda fell over every few hits so I just kept wailing on them

[abstract trellis]

Yeah that was you stance breaking em

Good mechanic to make use of
some weapons/ashes of war naturally do more poise damage than others though

[tribal thistle]

Like how big heavy weapons will hit hard and be slower

[abstract trellis]

eveb the small hammers do quite a lot

[buoyant ether]

ehat enhancement should i use with thunderbolt

[abstract trellis]

kinda just depends

[buoyant ether]

i have a few

[abstract trellis]

specifically for godfrey, lightning, so your basic attacks will do lightning damage

for everything else, keen

[tribal thistle]

Are any of the hammers good with dex
I've seen my brother do strength stuff and it doesn't interest me

[buoyant ether]

ale thanks for the help!

[abstract trellis]

Morning star is a very nice pocket weapon

has innate bleed, high poise damage charged heavies, can deal both strike and pierce damage, quite lightweight

works absolutely fine on keen with dex

[tribal thistle]

By the way is it strength or endurance that raises carry capacity because I was told light roll is best

[abstract trellis]

endurance
light roll isn't worth gunning for

[tribal thistle]

So keep the armor on?

[abstract trellis]

the i-frames are like exactly the same as medium roll, the only main difference is that you travel further (which is actually a hinderance sometimes)

[abstract trellis]

yeah it's not worth levelling endurance a bunch or going naked for

[slate plank]

What should I do with stats now. I am using Starscourge Greatsword

[tribal thistle]

how is it an active detriment sometimes?

[abstract trellis]

could get faith to 15-25 for some useful buffs

15 gets you flame grant me strength, 25 gets you golden vow

after that there isn't really much else you'd need, so put em wherever

[sweet comet]

wth guys why my friend got his grace looking like that the hell??

[abstract trellis]

It can mess up some punishes for bosses by making you roll too far away

[slate plank]

i can even see that tiny image

[tribal thistle]

Oh I've always been rolling in to them to keep attacking

[sweet comet]

Ill let him send me a clear one 1 sec

[abstract trellis]

then in those cases light roll would change absolutely nothing

[sweet comet]

Ig that bettter?

[tribal thistle]

once I'll get home I'll put the samurai armour back on my guy then

[slate plank]

where do i get the flame and vow spells?

[sweet comet]

why grace for him look like trees bro 😭

[abstract trellis]

FGMS is in caelid, golden vow is in Mt. Gelmir

[last violet]

Can anyone help me with Elden beast

[high raptor]

What Grace

[sand yoke]

i found it dw

[buoyant ether]

which one here is better againts magma wyrm?

[sand yoke]

took a little thinking

[primal blaze]

Do you guys prefer the strength knot tear or the barbed tear

[rustic badger]

Do the miner bell bearings carry over into NG+?

[rustic badger]

Barbed

[tender quiver]

Only if you've given them in

[rustic badger]

Fantastic, thanks

[noble falcon]

Square off or rkr

I think

Unsheathe too

[sharp plume]

first off remove a thing or 2 so you're not at heavy load

[red rampart]

Barbed is usually more AR if you plan on using a lot of heavies

[fierce wren]

How do I make progress in the story idk how

[slate plank]

Do those grace arrows go away when you completed what ever is in that direction?

[burnt thistle]

no

[slate plank]

Whelp time to buy the DLC.

Are all the grace I saved going to reset if I start ng+

[burnt thistle]

yes

[blissful pebble]

Guys dm me if u interested in free help or drops

[buoyant ether]

i want to use vloodflame blade but i have 9 faith and it needs 12, is that minor?

[burnt thistle]

that is minor

[fierce wren]

Need some help

[tender quiver]

With

[fierce wren]

The story i idk what boss to kill or how to progress
