true, but it does better damage against them. it just hits harder physically than most katanas. by hitting harder i mean you can stagger enemies easier with it.
Jump attacks also work fairly well Though hammers etc, do a lot more damage torches too, work great in a pinch. that's what i've usually done in my playthroughs, if i dont have a hammer (at least in the first cave)
@@sergejdoll611 heres the thing, both of those weapons get way higher on the damage charts, but still do either the same or less stagger damage, and they are only really powerful for the ashes of war. basic melee hits like a truck with the meteoric. my first samurai play through i basically dual wielded katana's til i hit level 100, mostly using moonveil and the meteoric blade. never having more than one cerulean flask, and hardly any FP. that style of play forced me to only use "transient moonlight" when absolutely necessary. it also allowed me to see how basic melee with the meteoric just hits different. on heavily armored, shielded or stoned skin mobs the thing may as well be a blunt object.
Yeah when two handed no weapon bounces off the stone enemies to my knowledge. It's only when one handed if they aren't blunt style or strike weapons like a slashing weapon do they bounce off, I've found this out in my times traveling the lands between lol.
EDIT: I was wrong here, but will leave the original comment for sake of completeness. It's totally a NG+ thing. Fire Prelate Greaves allow you to run on lava & swamps (both poison & rot) that would otherwise slow you down. I'm shocked this information isn't on the wiki yet, but here you go! Super useful for a couple hero's tombs, Shaded Castle, the Haligtree rot pond, and so on.
Are you sure it's the leggings and not NG+? In NG+ you can run normally through lava and deep swamps. Just a little bonus for new journeys. It'd be neat if there was specific gear that'd allow you to do so earlier, though.
Two things I found recently. 1) Godrick’s grab attack in the second phase where he holds you to the floor and incinerates the player can grab multiple players. 2) Crucible Knights (at least in capital) can have gold eyes
I've seen at least 11 other enemies with gold eyes. I think it's a random spawn that when its killed will give you 9x the runes. I killed the blood crow at the faming spot and when it had gold eyes I got 88,000 runes. Crazy!
If it's not a Boss (as in the big proper HP bar and music), it can have gold eyes. Possibly some of the ones that are specifically spawned in (like the Minor Rune Bear in South Lake Agheel) from another creature may not have those, but the ones that are already spawned in normally, should all be able.
Another tip, if you use Fire Prelate Greaves (only use the greaves, not the entire amor set) you can run on top of lava, and the fire damage is minimal. Very useful in some parts of Volcano Manor and in Gelmir Hero's grave.
Here is one. -Wielding the scythe dropped by a skeleton increases your vitality (death resistance) -Firing serpent arrows from the serpent bow, constantly builds poison even after the original prock. -If you use the beast repelling torch, blood flies can't target you. -grace mimics can dispel illusion walls due to its path finding -using a minors pick ignores the poise armor that miners and crystal enemies have even compared to other heavy weapons.
Twiggy Cracked Tear has a ton of interactions that change the feel of the game entirely. I abused that physick my first playthrough. If you die so that your runes are on the ground somewhere then use the twiggy physick (or twig item), you can die again and your runes will remain on the ground. This is especially useful for the tougher platforming sections of the game or if you have your rune pile at a boss fight. If you decide that you want your runes back and don't want to continue on past them, you can just activate the twig buff and then intentionally die. You will then respawn will all of your runes and can spend them if you prefer and then change your physick to a more combat oriented one. I feel like this is an overlooked strategy because it kind of breaks the formula of souls games in general; however, his was my first souls game so I had no bias or pride/honor in that regard. I started abusing this after one or two traumatic deaths where I had more runes than I was willing to lose at the time and it was a game changer as a souls rookie. This is not something I use anymore now that I die less often and know how to farm runes pretty effectively if needed. But for weird platforming or recovering your runes from a boss room, this is the way to go.
Also, regarding the Fire Chariot's eyes? I was messing around and it turns out they don't *just* follow you. If you're in stealth and they become alerted, the eyes will move to where the alert came from, not just stay fixed forward or see you through walls. The attention to detail is kind of crazy to be honest.
ANY weapon will NOT bounce off of the stone miners when wielding it two-handed. The Meteoric Ore Blade is not special in this. Take a Claymore or a Guardian Swordspear, or anything else, and whack them two-handed. That's how you deal with the Crystallian Gank Squad fights without needing to go out of your way to upgrade and entirely different weapon for them. Also, I only found this out after over 300 hours of play time - you can backstab the Flame Chariots. Like, the actual driver. Anytime I'd tried hitting them before I'd always just do normal swings at them, but a little while back I missed a jumping crit off a ledge against one and landed behind it, so I went to attack the driver as usual protocol dictates. But I backstabbed him, which I'd never seen before. Wondering if that's only possible when it's unaware of your presence?
Finally, you mentioned my rats. I've used them forever, they're awesome and I've even used them on my Level 1 playthrough. They're amazing. They spawn a set distance away BUT...if you're not locked on, they summon a lot closer. When you +10 them, you get 5 and they're a wicked for taking aggro. It's the best summon in the game and can be called at anytime for group aggro. Just don't lock on when you summon them and they start a little different and closer.
The super fast elevator next to Malenia’s arena is actually faster than gravity. If you activate the elevator then jump down after it, it will actually go downs faster than you can follow.
The rats are not the only spirits with an unusual spawn, the same thing happens with the land squirt ashes (which makes them utterly useless for certain fights because they obviously cannot move).
On the meteoric ore blade thing, I’m not sure it’s doing what you think it is. Two handing your weapon prevents bouncing off of the miners, and the high damage can be attributed to the split magic damage which the miners don’t resist. Could be that it does do what you think, but maybe test two handed moonveil (or any other katana with magic infusion) to see if it preforms the same to be sure.
@@Orionsdiscountbelts That is false. If you two hand any katana the light attacks won't bounce off the miners and the meteoric blade itself will bounce off if you don't two hand it. The only unique thing about the meteoric ore blade are its heavy attacks and that it does 20% more dmg to gravity enemies like the onyx/alabaster lords, fallingstar beasts and Astels because those are "lifeforms born of falling stars."
Regarding weapons and their damage type, the bloodhounds fang is a curved great sword that does slash damage I believe. So when you attack those rock enemies it usually bounces off. The miners and golems. However when you do a charged heavy or the skill bloodhounds finesse it goes right on through. Not sure if this is unique to this weapon or curved great swords or even if all heavies go through.
I've never seen anyone mention this, perhaps because it's common knowledge but a lot of attacks bounce off of walls. But some don't, and some allows you to hit enemies behind walls, gates, doors etc. especially jump attack. I've killed a ton of enemies by just jump attacking up against a thin wall. they do sometimes retaliate but it's super easy cheese in a lot of cases. of course longer weapons tend to work better for this. also a little tip if you think the mausoleums are annoying, take a sword or something and just hold R2 while running around each leg. this will slice up all those skull-stones and it'll drop in a few seconds. easy peasy. (i do it, because they're annoyingly loud)
I wonder how the deathbed dress interacts with illusory walls. Other 0 damage AOE attacks like Margit's shackle actually break them. Does the dress do that aswell?
Speaking of RKR. If you have a weapon that does 2 attacks with a charged heavy, RKR will apply to both hits, just like with 2 handing the claws. There are a few straight swords and curved swords that have that kind of charged heavy attack.
if everything wasnt bottle neck at the D-pad. I'd 2 hand more often. I actaully like breaking shield via a bastard or straight sword, I can fight all main bosses less my mimic, now. Alot if has to do with being able to HEAL..via erdtree HEAL. It'll heal more than a max out heal flask.. You can do God Vow and CHARGE the bolt of gransax..it'll basically knock Malenia on her Arss and knights too. You can use bolts...it cause less damage...but has faster casting speed ( both mid range) The rock sling is long range..but having to mess with the D-pad..from sorcery to incantation. I found a work around...via Regal Omen Buirn..it's a reuseable ITEM. In a nutshell I can cast LONG range MAGIC...it's just in a different slot by simply clicking down on the D-pad and not having to cycle through magic spells. On top of swapinng between staff and incantation. Im already goofing around with the D-pad enough as it is. Once enemies gets CLOSER...Ive swap from the gransax to katana or daggers...for SPEED. Their health bar is depleted by this point..any Katana or weapons with quick slice will pretty much kill them..Katana works best ( dont need target lock) becuase you can SWING and sort of rotate the joystick..it'll hit anything within the radious. Im used to other games such as dragon dogma...I have access to 3 different ash of war attacks at any given point. If i use a SHIELD...I have access to 3 different skills to that. If I use Magic...I have access to 6 different SPELLS. by simply holding LT or RT.....then x. y. or b If you dont hold down LT or RT...you'll still have soft or hard strike/attack. None ask of war..or SKILLS. I DONT have to CYCLE the D-PAD...Other games use this type control lay out. In ER...you can only CYCLE in ONE DIRECTION..if i use a magic spell and cast a different spell...I'll have to click the D -pad UP 5-6 damn times. jerking off with the D-pad. On top of clicking LEFT...to swap between staff/incantation Yet LEVELING UP is about DECREASING spell casting or weapon SWING time. Jerk off the D-pad some more...just to 2 hand a weapon. it's just too DAMN CLUNKY
The Radahn Soldier ashes got some neat surprises. Found in the War-Dead catacombs, after the fight with Radahn. Now take these guys to the town of Sellia for example. Where all the hidden mages lie in wait to ambush you. These guys immediately get aggressive, and will storm in the town, attacking anything on sight (or unseen, in this case). They have many fire and heavy attacks, which can also cause a lot of staggers (they where constantly stance-breaking and knocking down Malenia for example). Despite their zealous nature, they also have a caviat. As these men will try to attack anything. Which includes enemies on a roof, or some that only spawn in when the player triggers them. For that, you can go to the moonfolk ruins, where a few wraiths are lying in wait. They will suddenly start staring angrily at a wall, and not move at all. Taking some distance away, doesn't even teleport them to your side, like other summons do. So when the revenant deeper in the ruins crawls out, you'll be on your own. While the soldiers are still gazing at that wall. This is most likely, due to them being aggressive towards any potential threat. And since the wraiths from the other ruins have not been triggered yet, they are fixated on those points. Not changing their target for whatever reason, untill it is dead. But that is merely my speculation, I might be wrong about that.
What a crazyyy unique detail regarding the merchants. I don’t think I would’ve noticed that for a long time, if at all. Love your videos man - always good stuff.
The wandering nobles in limgrave talk. If you sneak up on them without being noticed you can hear them praising Agheel. I did it in NG+ before you agro the dragon.
***Helpful w co-op***. If you're late game and want to help a buddy out in the capital before the fire, they can summon you in the hallway right after the East capital Rampart site of grace and before the elevator.. only works in that hallway and will make it tough to go through the whole capital without dying but fyi.
If you take off all of your armor to fight the mimic tear, it will be able to throw ruin fragment at you even if you don’t have them equipped. This is probably because you fight in a ruined city so it can just pick them up off the ground.
I used the rats a lot on my first playthrough. helped me learn boss movesets, but were weak enough that they never gave me an easy win on a boss. Shame they aren't early game summons.
I have a thought/question for another potential thing to try with the Deathbed Dress. If it does indeed constantly send out healing... what if you wear it and approach a revenant? They're damaged by heal spells, does the dress hurt them?
I was just about to comment this exact thing. I'm too chicken to test it myself, but I know some brave soul---er, Tarnished out there will be willing to try it.
The running attack after you block was present in ds3 pvp (i dont ramener the name it was given). If you do use it be really carefull beacause it gives à clear tell for an easy parry
Note: The chariot ain’t alive Unless you pretend the dude inside who is controlling the chariot knows where you are by just smelling you or pure luck The chariot eyes are binoculars They are connected to the driver eyes so that way the driver can see you from inside the chariot
The chariots eyes remind me that in MH:W, Shara Ishvalda would stare into the player camera and not at your player character, it would stare at you playing and it was that much more unnerving
That 2nd secret makes Elenora's Pole Blade charged heavy (when dual wielding it) demonic 😈 Edit my reply might be one if the biggest brain strats i ever had if it works i gotta test it
are you sure you said the right blade? elenoras pole blade has a special ash of war you cant change.. is there another twin blade you meant? twin blades are my fav so id def like to try something new with them if ya got some real out of the box ideas
@@lahchrissa using determination acts as a buff as a weapon art and isn't exclusive to any weapon there for if you are slick you would do the following: Start with normal (on hand) weapon with interchangable weapon art and have determination equipped Use determination weapon art Switch to Elenora's Poleblade and 2 hand it Charge the heavy attack and reap the reward of huge damage output (Elenora's Poleblade when 2 handed has a unique charged heavy attack that deals many hits to the enemy)
One thing I did that I've never seen again or did again but when it first came out me and my buddy were fighting God Rick the 1st time and we staggered him right as he was changing phases and it knocked him outta it
-Summoning the wandering nobles when fighting agheel, they just lay down and pray(?) just like the npc nobles in this area when agheel pops up -i also did not realize until second playthrough that there are demi-humans masked as bushes in limgrave (other than boc)
I think for the Chariot enemy the head is actually a Giant's head mounted on it, see how it breathes fire and giants worship the fire god, I thought it might make sense
The dress works the same way as the cloak spells in Skyrim, and they had the same problems there, especially apparent on the ebony mail. Its kinda funny how similar it is
If you complete Ranni’s quest line by skipping getting the Fingerslayer Blade but then go to Nokron and try to get the blade from the chest, you get a unique message instead. Possibly indicating that FromSoft anticipated players finding skips.
I remember in Dark Souls 3 that you could pause running while blocking. If you were running while blocking then stop, continue blocking and then start running again, it would continue running at the speed you were going at before you stopped without any wind up. I never tried attacking while doing that though. Who knows - that could have been a mechanic that has existed since then
No idea if this was covered in another video or mentioned in comments, but something I found playing around with Margit's Shackle. Aside from binding him during the fight and exposing illusory walls, it can also make that guy appear who is crouching and invisible and complaining about no one can see him.
I've just beaten this game at 190 hours first play through. Even with that time theres still so many things i've missed. Even now i didn't know armors has effects lol.
There is a few unique attacks on certain weapons , I find the back step light attacks interesting but only seem to differ when single handed, another thing I discovered that baffles me if you change the knights great sword to blood affinity it’s 101 blood loss with just 7 arcane
See if the dress triggers a fire pillar to go up or down, I was chilling near one of the fire spitting pillars and dropped a glow stone. As it healed me it kept constantly triggering the Pillar.
Did you know that using giant hunt on thrusting weapons can cancel crucible knight combos. Try it out with low level characters and it can almost stun lock them
the meteor blade is buffed with INT and the rock enemies are weak to magic damage, so this gives the meteor blade 2 buffs when fighting the rock enemies.
You think those eyes are creepy? Try go down to the puppet factory and focus on the eyes and move around. Super creepy, but the eyes of the puppet/people follow you. Maybe they haven't fully transitioned into puppets and are trapped in their own bodies.
Idk if this has been said or not, I can't remember hearing it anywhere... but when you did the closeup of the merchants hat... are their hats embroidered to look like shabriri grapes? I mean it would make sense, what with their whole subterranean shunning grounds, and link to the frenzied flame... but idk. Just something I noticed at 11:50
the wakizashi dagger from previous episode actually doesn't powerstance with other daggers. started a dagger rogue run and was surprised to find this out once I got a hold of the weapon.
@@coltonpenn yeah I know. was just the part where he talked about powerstancing with similar type weapons. That's one dagger that doesn't work with other daggers.
This is great!! One comment though. I don't know how time-consuming this would be, but breaking the Elden Ring videos up into categories (i.e., New Secrets, Pro v Noob, builds, etc.) would be massively helpful! the content is great, but navigating through more than 340 videos to rewatch something is untenable. :D Thanks for all the great content!
Deathbed dress v revenants equals constant free damage as any healing spell will do the appropriate amount of damage rather than heal. As a result of their curse!! :o could these revenants be the children of the dung eater?
I don’t know if any of the videos have said this, or if y’all would even want to out it in. 1 item in game causes a make characters junk to grow. It’s the commoners shoes. Check it out. It’s just hilarious
Hey my thing made it into the vid 😁 I've been looking at other summons & so far only the rats have a different description at +10 by the looks of it, wonder why???
Have you discovered a way to summon a player with the ashen capital to assist a player with Morgott? I've heard a few players claim it's possible but nobody has actually demonstrated it.
If ur in the sewers of the capital and decide to fight the dung eater if u kill the hands in the room first u can trap him in his cell between the door and the wall and cheese him that way.
Is it possible you could look into the glitch where if you put on the either the talisman or armor that makes footsteps quiet, then using a mimic veil. Doing so will transform you into an object, but your body will appear in the middle, and it is visual to other players.

a different spell...I'll have to click the D -pad UP 5-6 damn times. jerking off
with the D-pad. On top of clicking LEFT...to swap between staff/incantation
Yet LEVELING UP is about DECREASING spell casting or weapon SWING time.
Jerk off the D-pad some more...just to 2 hand a weapon.
it's just too DAMN CLUNKY
good video, I feel sorry for the enemies which just see me and run away, except if they are scarabs.
Hollow: *Runs*
Chariot: *I SEE YOU!*
You just have to 2 hand katanas to stop it from bouncing off enemies. My Uchi does the same thing. You don't need meteor blade
The Radahn Soldier ashes got some neat surprises.
Found in the War-Dead catacombs, after the fight with Radahn.
Now take these guys to the town of Sellia for example. Where all the hidden mages lie in wait to ambush you.
These guys immediately get aggressive, and will storm in the town, attacking anything on sight (or unseen, in this case).
They have many fire and heavy attacks, which can also cause a lot of staggers (they where constantly stance-breaking and knocking down Malenia for example).
Despite their zealous nature, they also have a caviat.
As these men will try to attack anything. Which includes enemies on a roof, or some that only spawn in when the player triggers them.
For that, you can go to the moonfolk ruins, where a few wraiths are lying in wait.
They will suddenly start staring angrily at a wall, and not move at all.
Taking some distance away, doesn't even teleport them to your side, like other summons do.
So when the revenant deeper in the ruins crawls out, you'll be on your own. While the soldiers are still gazing at that wall.
This is most likely, due to them being aggressive towards any potential threat.
And since the wraiths from the other ruins have not been triggered yet, they are fixated on those points.
Not changing their target for whatever reason, untill it is dead.
But that is merely my speculation, I might be wrong about that.
🧢🥱
What a crazyyy unique detail regarding the merchants. I don’t think I would’ve noticed that for a long time, if at all. Love your videos man - always good stuff.
The wandering nobles in limgrave talk. If you sneak up on them without being noticed you can hear them praising Agheel. I did it in NG+ before you agro the dragon.
***Helpful w co-op***. If you're late game and want to help a buddy out in the capital before the fire, they can summon you in the hallway right after the East capital Rampart site of grace and before the elevator.. only works in that hallway and will make it tough to go through the whole capital without dying but fyi.
If you take off all of your armor to fight the mimic tear, it will be able to throw ruin fragment at you even if you don’t have them equipped. This is probably because you fight in a ruined city so it can just pick them up off the ground.
You throw ruin fragments. Haha. So they are rocks. So good to know for my snake build
U should do build videos coz I’m not a fan of monster hunter but love the channel so can’t wait for more Elden ring vids
They have made build videos when the game was at its highest peak. check the channels history my dude
@@camelshoeyh I watched every Elden ring vid since the release, I’ve seen them all they should just do more
13:36 PvP just got a little more like a fighting game. This is rad!
I used the rats a lot on my first playthrough. helped me learn boss movesets, but were weak enough that they never gave me an easy win on a boss. Shame they aren't early game summons.
I have a thought/question for another potential thing to try with the Deathbed Dress.
If it does indeed constantly send out healing... what if you wear it and approach a revenant? They're damaged by heal spells, does the dress hurt them?
I was just about to comment this exact thing. I'm too chicken to test it myself, but I know some brave soul---er, Tarnished out there will be willing to try it.
its made to only affect players. it doesnt work on pve
The running attack after you block was present in ds3 pvp (i dont ramener the name it was given). If you do use it be really carefull beacause it gives à clear tell for an easy parry
Note: The chariot ain’t alive
Unless you pretend the dude inside who is controlling the chariot knows where you are by just smelling you or pure luck
The chariot eyes are binoculars
They are connected to the driver eyes so that way the driver can see you from inside the chariot
The chariots eyes remind me that in MH:W, Shara Ishvalda would stare into the player camera and not at your player character, it would stare at you playing and it was that much more unnerving
That 2nd secret makes Elenora's Pole Blade charged heavy (when dual wielding it) demonic 😈
Edit my reply might be one if the biggest brain strats i ever had if it works i gotta test it
are you sure you said the right blade? elenoras pole blade has a special ash of war you cant change.. is there another twin blade you meant? twin blades are my fav so id def like to try something new with them if ya got some real out of the box ideas
@@lahchrissa using determination acts as a buff as a weapon art and isn't exclusive to any weapon there for if you are slick you would do the following:
Start with normal (on hand) weapon with interchangable weapon art and have determination equipped
Use determination weapon art
Switch to Elenora's Poleblade and 2 hand it
Charge the heavy attack and reap the reward of huge damage output (Elenora's Poleblade when 2 handed has a unique charged heavy attack that deals many hits to the enemy)
Should stack with Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Millicent's prosthesis and thorny cracked tear.
@@FlyfishermanMike this video had my interest but now you have my attention 👀
That block run attack tech is awesome
The block run tip is the best tip you’ve given me. I appreciate all the others, but that one just changed my PvP game
8:40 You never bounce when you two-hand your weapon. This has nothing to do with the katana.
That meteoric ore blade passive is cool I'm gonna definitely be using that when I do a katana build
hes just two handing it to avoid bouncing.
Try wearing the dress next to a pillar trap. I think it would constantly activate and deactivate.
One thing I did that I've never seen again or did again but when it first came out me and my buddy were fighting God Rick the 1st time and we staggered him right as he was changing phases and it knocked him outta it
8:56 you hold the blade 2 hands wich causes never to bounce off with any weapon
-Summoning the wandering nobles when fighting agheel, they just lay down and pray(?) just like the npc nobles in this area when agheel pops up
-i also did not realize until second playthrough that there are demi-humans masked as bushes in limgrave (other than boc)
I think for the Chariot enemy the head is actually a Giant's head mounted on it, see how it breathes fire and giants worship the fire god, I thought it might make sense
The dress works the same way as the cloak spells in Skyrim, and they had the same problems there, especially apparent on the ebony mail. Its kinda funny how similar it is
Meteoric Blade is very underrated in PvP and PvE
I used 5 rats to kill Gideon and just buffed them they stun lock very well
If you complete Ranni’s quest line by skipping getting the Fingerslayer Blade but then go to Nokron and try to get the blade from the chest, you get a unique message instead. Possibly indicating that FromSoft anticipated players finding skips.
I remember in Dark Souls 3 that you could pause running while blocking. If you were running while blocking then stop, continue blocking and then start running again, it would continue running at the speed you were going at before you stopped without any wind up.
I never tried attacking while doing that though. Who knows - that could have been a mechanic that has existed since then
I just checked, this is definitely also a thing in Dark Souls 3 too! 😁
No idea if this was covered in another video or mentioned in comments, but something I found playing around with Margit's Shackle. Aside from binding him during the fight and exposing illusory walls, it can also make that guy appear who is crouching and invisible and complaining about no one can see him.
It is a small damage large area effect. Anything affected by that would propably react. Could even likely use it to drop air scarabs.
In the chariots are two additional little dudes. They turn the wheels and control the eyes it seems.
Great video man, thank you!
The meteor blade actually helps when fighting the crystallinians
When the eyes of those fire spiters follow you that always creeped me out “I was like DON’T looking at me”
The level of little details are just amazing ,
Few hundred hrs and im still learning new things. Thank you~~
The throwing pots at the digger's backpacks is invaluable.
I've just beaten this game at 190 hours first play through. Even with that time theres still so many things i've missed. Even now i didn't know armors has effects lol.
i want to mention this, i discovered this since bleed builds first got its buff. sepuku with the dress breaks as well
Wearing zamor bracers with rotten duelist armor changes the color of Zamor bracers. *Some guy on reddit
Here's a tip: The mausoleums sleep between the time of late-night and morning. test it out!
Oil pots add extra fire damage to enemies when ignited after a pot
Poison pots inflict poison on enemies
There is a few unique attacks on certain weapons , I find the back step light attacks interesting but only seem to differ when single handed, another thing I discovered that baffles me if you change the knights great sword to blood affinity it’s 101 blood loss with just 7 arcane
Wow. Running attacks. Thats craaaaaaazy
See if the dress triggers a fire pillar to go up or down, I was chilling near one of the fire spitting pillars and dropped a glow stone. As it healed me it kept constantly triggering the Pillar.
Did you know that using giant hunt on thrusting weapons can cancel crucible knight combos. Try it out with low level characters and it can almost stun lock them
I scanned through a handful of the comments and no one noted that whips mutilate the miners. I carry a whip specifically for mining areas.
the meteor blade is buffed with INT and the rock enemies are weak to magic damage, so this gives the meteor blade 2 buffs when fighting the rock enemies.
You think those eyes are creepy? Try go down to the puppet factory and focus on the eyes and move around. Super creepy, but the eyes of the puppet/people follow you. Maybe they haven't fully transitioned into puppets and are trapped in their own bodies.
THANK U SO MUCH. I needed that
Idk if this has been said or not, I can't remember hearing it anywhere... but when you did the closeup of the merchants hat... are their hats embroidered to look like shabriri grapes? I mean it would make sense, what with their whole subterranean shunning grounds, and link to the frenzied flame... but idk. Just something I noticed at 11:50
Fun fact you can use scarlet aeonia with a seal that you can’t wield and apply rot
the wakizashi dagger from previous episode actually doesn't powerstance with other daggers. started a dagger rogue run and was surprised to find this out once I got a hold of the weapon.
Try it with a katana 😉
@@coltonpenn yeah I know. was just the part where he talked about powerstancing with similar type weapons. That's one dagger that doesn't work with other daggers.
This is great!! One comment though. I don't know how time-consuming this would be, but breaking the Elden Ring videos up into categories (i.e., New Secrets, Pro v Noob, builds, etc.) would be massively helpful! the content is great, but navigating through more than 340 videos to rewatch something is untenable. :D Thanks for all the great content!
Godslayer greatsword's unique r1 moveset is actually the Scythe r1 moveset, the 1st 2 swings at least
The 5 rats should be 5 little neco-arcs
Deathbed dress v revenants equals constant free damage as any healing spell will do the appropriate amount of damage rather than heal. As a result of their curse!! :o could these revenants be the children of the dung eater?
These are the best!
Do you have a Playlist of these kind of videos? It would be really helpful.
I don’t know if any of the videos have said this, or if y’all would even want to out it in. 1 item in game causes a make characters junk to grow. It’s the commoners shoes.
Check it out. It’s just hilarious
The katana dealing strike damage is a game changer lol
13:50 this a game changer
You literally made a video recently about the eyes
Hey my thing made it into the vid 😁
I've been looking at other summons & so far only the rats have a different description at +10 by the looks of it, wonder why???
On the rat summons, I'm not sure if it's just a bug on my game but it didn't cost any runes to upgrade them only the flowers I think
That is true
Yup, the rats are 100% free apart from needing the materials
What is that chest piece that's up and to the left of your death bed dress? I've never seen that before
Have you discovered a way to summon a player with the ashen capital to assist a player with Morgott? I've heard a few players claim it's possible but nobody has actually demonstrated it.
should try the meteoric blade on crystalians, see if it works on them as well
Block sprint old tech glad it's still here
Rats also cost only runes to upgrade, they don’t use your grave glovewort!
Keep it up 👍🏽
No weapon bounces of the diggers if you're two handing (and with enough stats to use)
If you use a flail or whip against the rock enemies the weapon doesn't bounce off of them
If ur in the sewers of the capital and decide to fight the dung eater if u kill the hands in the room first u can trap him in his cell between the door and the wall and cheese him that way.
I believe the 1.06 patch fixed the Deathbed dress bug.
Will the deathbed interact with the fire spewing pillars in the catacombs?
Two hand your weapon = no bounce
One hand your weapon = bounce
It doesn't matter the damage type, strike is their only weakness
May i ask what that armor set your wearing at the beginning is? I don't recognize it.
Is it possible you could look into the glitch where if you put on the either the talisman or armor that makes footsteps quiet, then using a mimic veil. Doing so will transform you into an object, but your body will appear in the middle, and it is visual to other players.
