Unleash the power of the shadows with my new Shadow Mage build! It's a high Intelligence build that offers stealth, devastating sorceries, and deadly close combat. And the best part? You can create this build right from the early game!

I've watched at least 15 videos on how to maximize a mage and got a ton of different answers that didn't seem right and I was having trouble around level 70 with certain enemies. This video is so much better, answered questions I didn't even know I had, and I'm now destroying. Much respect, thank you.
Thank you so much, Ryan. Glad you found it helpful.
Everyone says something no one knows what they talk about. The best thing to do is try it out for yourself and finish the game to learn more about it I searched up how to build bloodhound fang and I got different answers like arcane should be focused first, dexterity first and than endurance, primary stat should be faith and than vigor
@@Mr_Slayer-mt5rj @user-op5sm8ve6n Exactly people spout nonsense acting as experts and it had my mage going in a terrible direction early game. This guide turned things around so I was able to get through the early stages until I picked up what I needed to know to make my own decisions about spell mix, gear etc.
I get the try everything and beat the game advice but it just isn't realistic for me. I'm a completionist 250 hours in exploring every part of the map and I just don't have the time to mess around with a ton of builds whether its using a larval tear or NG+. There are just too many good games I haven't started (God of war ragnarok, cyberpunk 2077 and Horizon foridden west to name a few) for me to replay it immediately. I'll probably do a faith/strength build eventually though.
@@RGates33that’s what my build is on my first playthrough I just finished (strength faith) . Jumped right back into NG+ cause I wanted more . Using the Blasphemous blade , buff it with flame grant me strength and golden vow . Does so much damn damage it’s crazy. Really fun build. I wanna do a strength arcane build with the Maliketh Black blade at some point . Looks so cool. Also rivers of blood would be cool with like a dex arcane build .
Very well explained guide, everything on point.
Great overview on where to put in skill points and you went through recommended items.
This video is superb. You use narration but also timestamps! I was so impressed you've got a new subscription. Thank you so much on this. I've added this to my watch later. The gavel is just what I needed for quick close range battles...it's amazing how well it works.
Thank you very my, my friend. It is very satisfying to us against most enemies.
I was just looking for a mage build guide because I just started my mage playthrough. Thank you so much!! Love your videos!!
Thank you, Loh. Enjoy your adventure, my friend.
I like to use night comet, it’s not as strong but it’s very close, and it cost slightly less magic and dodging enemies can’t dodge it.
U can put staff of loss on one hand and carian regal scepter on the other and make night comet hit like a truck!
@@daveed-c137 And, in NG+, you can use two Staves of Loss and REALLY hit like a truck (the dmg bonuses stack multiplicatively, so 1.3 * 1.3 = 1.69, or +69% extra dmg with Night Comet when dual wielding Staff of Loss). And yes, this spell hits way more than normal Comet with the appropriate setup, and cost less FP.
Night comet with the staff of loss is stronger (left hand/duel staffs) with less fp cost than comet and it has more range. Also those enemy's that jump around when you cast are impacted much more. So happy I retrieved night comet.
Na. Bosses still dodge it so it's fake news.
How much intelligence do you really need I’m sitting at 60
Thanks so much! I've no idea how u were supposed to find that gavel without a guide. But seeing u smack Malaenia with your weapons gave me great joy
Thank you so much, my friend. I'm happy you found the guide helpful.
This was my first play through class and man now you’ve made me want to take it into NG+! Thanks so much for the awesome guide, it looks really solid.
Thank you, Jeremy. ❤
What is ng
@@Lucas-bu7blnew game. You can play the game again with all your stuff
I already had most of the spells I just had to get the dark moon and terra Magica and the last memory stone as well as grinding my intelligence and I’ve been having a lot of fun with this build
I'm glad, my friend.
great guide. you go over a lot of really fun spells and also put together a really solid combination of talismans and staves. all in all really helpful video
Excellent! This is all almost exactly what I'm using as a late-game pure mage, plus a few different tips I will definitely try out! Also if you're using gravity sorceries, swap out your off-hand for the Meteorite Staff instead. Meteorite of Astel absolutely wrecks with it.
You packed so much info into such a concise video, incredible work 👍
Love this build! Really good aesthetic and extremely powerful!
Pretty well made and straightforward build. Kepp up the good work, sir!
Just changed my build from faith/arcane to intelligence and this was just what I was looking for. Everything I need, and nothing I don't. I'm crushing it with this build. Thanks.
I'm delighted to know that you are enjoying your time.
One of the best laid out and clearest guide videos I've seen. Nice footage too
Thank you so much. ❤
thank you for the great builds man. i used your lightning build guide and beat the game 6 times through it now im using this. keep it up
Thank you, my friend.
Hey everyone! If you're looking for a powerful and fun Faith Fire build in Elden Ring, be sure to check out my Godslayer build guide. I've included an optimized early-game route and all the latest updates for patch 1.09. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!
th-cam.com/video/R6_O9-umI54/w-d-xo.html
i love all the spells you use. i feel like besides night comet and stars of ruin you named all my favorites
Side note. You don't need 10 strength to get the bonuses from Azur's staff. The strength requirement for Azur and Lusat's staves only affects the melee damage of the staff, and has no effect on casting or the passive buffs
Thank you, Joe.
You'll have 10 strength anyway if you start wretch which while maybe not as potent as astrologer early on its definitely funnier.
@geta bagboy no. All damage boosts in staves and seals come from fai, int, or arc in some cases. Str and dex do not affect any passive effects or damage scaling for spells
Perfect timing for this to show up in my recommended just finished a playthrough and wanted to do a pure mage build
Loved the video! Your attention to details and adding chapters to the video was great! Amazing build.
Thank you, Matheus.
This is a great mage build. Thanks for a the great tips. It’s been fun in my new game+.
I loved every details. Thank you
So excited to try out this build on my 3rd play through! Thank you!
Loved this video so much I liked favorited subbed and turned on notifications, I’ve been needing an explanation on sorcery and nothing has been so in depth and so simple at the same time that I’ve come across. Thanks man.
Thank you so much, my friend.
Thank you for this amazing guide. I mainly played a meele in elden ring but in my second run i wanna run a mage. There're so many guides out there but I really like you're build that helps a lot. Thank you so much
Most helpful video on the topic, thank you!
Hey I really like your videos, you showcase unique builds and are straight to the point. You're inspiring me to do new playthroughs!
Thank you, my friend.
Thank you kimochaser for this encouragement video. I kinda regret choosing mage build but now starting to love it. I love this build now after seeing what you have done and achieved. Amazing 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words, my friend. ❤
Great explanations. Two thumbs up.👍👍
This video is amazing straight to the pointt so much info and no BS . Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you found it useful.
Very, very nice. Going to try this as it looks like great fun - for me, the whole point of playing video games. Cheers, Harry.
The best guide for mage build out there. Well explained ❤
Thank you for making this nice and informative guide! I will try this
Thank you. I hope you enjoy it.
Very in depth guide dude, and for such a short video! Definitely earned a sub.
You are very kind. ❤
another fantastic build 👌
This video is perfect. Covered everything in an easy order, I didn’t even need to skip any sections and the video is under
Thank you, Tariq. I'm glad you found it helpful.
Very clear and informative guide, thanks alot man!!
Thank you so much, Antoine. ❤
Loved this guide. You covered everything needed for a solid mage build. Your attention to detail and your time investment is most appreciated. Thank you!

great video! can’t wait to try the build
amazing build! thanks!
Awesome mage! Thanks for all the details
Thanks for insane guide for mages.
Awesome guide, well explained without giving to much of the history. I had almost all the items listed but wasn't using them.
Thank you so much, my friend. I appreciate that.
Thank you so must. This is great 😊
Awesome guide. Clear logic and instructions
Thank you, Scott.
Another banger of a build video! Keep em coming. *Scurries off to try the Gavel*
Thank you so much, Reginald. That Gavel is insane, brother. Have fun. ❤
Love this guide. One thing I wasn’t expecting was at 5:32 , when I got there I got nailed by a barrage of crossbow bolts haha
loved the golden order build and know this one is great. Have you ever considered making a beastial incantations build?
It is on my mind. Thank you so much for watching, my friend.
I had never considered the Gavel of Haima before! I’m going to try it out
This guide is very useful and accurate, thank you
Thank you for watching, my friend.
Fantastic video - thank you!
Thank you so much for watching. ❤
I like to have some weapons. ... but I also like spell casting. Thanks for the video. ! 👍. I'm sold on Rennala 's Carian staff 👍
Nicely done
Those Haima spells are so satisfying.
I'm new to ER. this set build is wicked 💛💚💜💙 thanks so much for the guide. Excellent mAh dude
Thank you, my friend.
I am currently going through my first time and playing a Int mage, ty for the detailed analysis,
Thank you so much for watching. If I may suggest also supplement with this video I created recently. I'm certain you will find the information there helpful.
th-cam.com/video/NTruxTsOFd4/w-d-xo.html
Great video, and the basis for my new Astrologer build
Thank you, Greg.
This build looks so good for the way I like to engage battles and enemies in general. Been playing elden ring since 2 weeks now and was mostly grinding runes at caelid at the farum greeatbridge. Been progressing the game to a point where I'm at the academy and dying to the red wolf. I'm thinking to strengthen my self and come back for him and the queen later cause my build is high intelligence and they both have high resistance to magic
I've come back around full circle to the caster build, maybe a couple times now. Something I didn't realize the first time watching this build, but actually watching your latest dragon build was the ability to 1-2 spells like the Gavel / Dragon Claw using two staves/seals. Watching you pummle the Crucible Knight like that was very satisfying, as I'm probably not alone in thinking those at one point during the game were a fairly difficult enemy to face.
After watching countless hours of Elden Ring videos, I still think your content is top tier Kimo. The only spell I like to add to this build is Ancient Death Rancor, and I do like to bring in the Moonveil and shield also, as I personally enjoy a block counter, sword and board playstyle.
Thank you so much, Matt. I always try my best to create something different but equally fun. The Moonveil/shield idea is excellent, but I like the pure sorcerer, or pure Faith builds because you can push the damage of your spells to the extreme. I only wish they would buff the death sorceries' damage like Ancient Death Rancor and Explosive Ghostflame. They are not entirely terrible, but they are severely underperforming compared to other spells and incantations in the game.
@@KimoChaser You're absolutely right, however, with Ancient Death Rancor I find the payoff is the consistency and slow speed. It rarely misses and you can cast it before other spells to not agro the enemy, so then you have a wave of damage that hits all at once. Not the best min/max, just personal preference which is what this game is all about - and I love it. I really can't get away from Moonviel, I think it's the best weapon in the game all around. Hits hard, fast and has options with the L2. I don't love it with a shield, but it's decent - and I think the katana powerstance moveset isn't as good as the straight/curved swords. It's just a weapon that does better than most in every category.
@@mattwalker2818 You managed to list the only reasons why would anyone should use Ancient Death Rancor. I'm actually thinking of taking a closer look at it one more time since Death build was very much requested on my channel.
Moonveil is undoubtedly the best Intelligence weapon in the entire game, although I'm more of a Dark Moon Greatsword fan myself. The Katanas power stance isn't as strong as curved swords or Twinblades, but I will take that over using a shield any day.
Best explanation 👏
Best anfld detailed, tqsm
Great guide, thanks
Thank you, Alex.
My favorite guide I’ve seen for this game
Thank you, Charles. Your words humble me.
Excellent guide man.
Thank you so much, Renzo. Happy New Year, my friend.
Great job! and ALMOST exactly what I was looking for XD. I'm planning a walkthrough with a 'pure' mage investing zero points in strength or Dex for both theme and a little restriction to make it more interesting I didn't realize how much stagger the gavel had so I might have to use that one XD (edit) Also forgot to add that additionally equip weight will need to stay light and blue bar must always be bigger than green just to make equipment selection really easy for myself XD.
Thank you for stopping by, Joe. I'm glad you find the guide helpful.
Thanks good video
I suggest substitute comet with night comet. Keep the staff of loss in your left hand to buff its damage by approximately 30% (if I didn't remember wrong). This way you have a piercing, chargeable, high burst spell with similar FP efficiency to glintstone pebble and AI enemies will not dodge it because its "invisible" to them.
Thank you for the suggestion. I did actually go in a small debate on why I didn't endorse Night Comet but it's a great idea nonetheless.
Thank you
You're welcome
Hell yeah I've been waiting for another one of your videos!!!
Thank you, Patrick. I had a lot of fun with this one.
Next one will be death magic perhaps? ^_^
I really need to make one. Many people asked for it.
If you need help or ideas lemme know!!
@@plbennett Thanks my friend.
really good video, this helped me get a better gist of the mage class. i've always done str/dex things in souls in the past, elden ring i decided to do int/dex for the first time. gonna go out and get more of these cool spells. you're very well spoken, the explanations were on point. thank you!
Thank you so much, my friend. I'm glad you found the information helpful.
I agree great video! Nicely done and very through! I do have a question if I'm using Dark Moon Great sword in one hand and the scepter in the other but I have a dagger equipped with the Golden Vow do I still get the benefit? Or do I have to use the weapon in one of my hands to take advantage?
I go full Int, and got surprized how I came to the same build as you
Nice. This is one of the most fun builds I had the pleasure of playing.
pls get this guy more subs this build was fun
In my mage build my go-to spells are usually:
1) Great Glintstone Shard - Decent speed and range and more powerful than Glintstone pebble.
2) Comet - Decent range and quite powerful.
3) Cannon Of Haima - Hits mobs like a truck, 'nuff said!
4) Loretta's Greatbow - Great for sniping enemies when they are out of reach of my other spells.
5) Night Maiden's Mist - Excellent for when I know (or else want to check if) there is an enemy or enemies hiding around corners/behind walls/underneath where I'm standing etc, does extensive damage over time. Just need to be careful where and when you use it as it also does severe damage to the caster. Regardless, this spell _NEVER_ leaves my repertoire.
6) Adula's Moonblade - Decent damage against the right opponents, very good range and builds up Frost.
7) Ambush Shard - Not the strongest of spells but that coupled with the Arrow's Reach Talisman means it can be cast at a much greater distance giving it more of a reason to be in my repertoire; especially useful for hitting enemies with shields from afar.
8) Night Comet - Decent range, fairly cheap to cast, can be buffed via the Staff Of Loss in Offhand, can be charged to do extra damage to unaware enemies and uncharged shots can hit fast and agile enemies as long as you don't chain-spam too much.
9) Roiling Magma - Bit of a finicky spell but can potentially do a lot of damage against enemies. Lobbing the Magma at enemies directly can do a decent amount of damage but where this spell really shines is when you lob it on the ground near to enemies and, after a few moments of delay, it explodes causing even greater damage. Not only that, but so long as it's near enough and enemies aren't already alerted to your presence, the magma actually draws the attention of enemies and they will walk up to it...and then BAM! I love this spell.
10) Rock Sling - I don't use this as often as I used to but it's still a good spell to use, especially if you wield the Meteorite Staff in your offhand (apart from the boost it also seems to travel further when cast in your offhand for some reason). It has very good range, does decent amounts of physical damage and the delay before the rocks are thrown means, when timed right, it can hit fast and agile enemies who tend to attempt to dodge the spell (small enemies) at the moment of delay rather than as the rocks start travelling towards them. Arrow's Talisman also has an affect on the range of this spell.
11) Great Ocular Bubble - Again, like Rock Sling, I don't always use this but this spell can do pretty hefty damage. Like Ambush Shard and RS, it is affected by the Arrow's Reach Talisman. If it doesn't hit an enemy while it's travelling it'll go as far as it can and then hover for a few moments and then go POP! Does have a small AOE so any enemies that are near it will get hurt. The main downside, I feel, is that it requires 18 Arcane to use as opposed to Intelligence but it's not a major deal.
Other spells I like to use when the mood takes me include: Ancient Death Rancor, Rykard's Rancor, Briars Of Sin and Briars Of Punishment (particularly like the latter as it has decent range), Ranni's Dark Moon, Zamor Icestorm, Carian Phalanx and Stars Of Ruin.
great guide
Thank you.
Great video man..
The problem with going for a specific build, is that you will have to spend hours and hours just to get all the gear you need.. I started a sorcerer the other day, and I might have spend 4 hours just to get a staff, and a decent selection of spells, and enough levels in int to actually use them.
It’s great fun to go for all these things by following guides, but starting a new charcter and going for a build takes a very long time!
I couldn't agree more my friend. I like to think of my videos as a template that you can add or remove anything I list there and modify to your own liking and playstyle.
Agreed it takes forever lol. Mind if I ask what your strategy was to grind runes?
Gamed ya m3alem ♥️♥️
Habibi ♥
so much skill much wow :D anyway the build is awesome.
FromSoft should make a soulslike game where it’s magic focused. Kinda like Sekiro has a dex focus
Nice build. I'm building a mage on my 2nd playthrough.
I always changed to moonlight greatsword after consume last mana flask. It works so well and high mana efficiency, good in long run like dungeon
Definitely gonna be my next build
I'm glad you found the video helpful. Thank you for watching.
Worth noting that if you dont use spells that benefit much from cast speed you can use both Graven Mass and also Graven School talisman as they stack.
I also built a 80int character but put a few points in str and dex to meet minimum req for a variety of weapons so i can regularily switch up my playstyle and cover a broad range of gameplay experiences in one build. In addition to a pure magic fighting style like in this vid it can also play with:
-Blaidds Royal Greatsword as a colossal option
-Darkmoon Greatsword+helphens needle (cheers fextralife)
-Moonveil and magic uchigatana
-2x Wing of Astel
-Lorettas polearm
Not gonna get boring like that anytime soon and i can lay my anxieties on running out of larval tears to rest haha.
Those are really good Int weapons. Would love to make a dedicated build for some of them in the future. Thanks, Lukas for sharing.
Great build yet again, do you mind doing a dark moon greatsword build?
Thank you, Jamal. I will try to put together a Darkmoon build.
Thanks very much for the build, it looks awesome. Can you please tell if it's DLC ready, since some time has passed?
Hey, Ximo. There hasn't been a single patch that undermined any of the information presented in this video. If you want to take this build to the Land of Shadow, you will not be disappointed. I will also recommend checking the following videos before making up your mind.

@@KimoChaser thank you very much for taking the time to answer me. I'll sure go with it to the Land of Shadow!
@@gomezdemembrillera Have a great adventure, my friend.
Now I want to play again 😊
Great video, I was level 119 and it helped me a lot
I'm very glad to hear that. ❤
What was your stats ??
Thank you for this guide kimo. I am now level 220 mage with 99 intelligence and still going😊
Sorry for the late reply. I'm glad you found the guide helpful.
I must admit, Mages are my favorite builds in Elden Ring and Souls games in general.
Good guide.
Thank you
The Claymen's Spear buffed with Scholar's Armament is a sweet damage dealing weapon for int builds.
That is also a good melee weapon option. Although wouldn't take precedent over the Dark Moon Greatsword or the Moonveil Katana.
Was my first build. Got invited to help my friends and never got asked for help again. Don't think they liked my laser. :(
Tip: if you killed the turtle at church of vows you can give the scroll to Sellen at the basement of Waypoint ruins you have to defeat a boss to get to her
فخور بيك ❤👍✨
ربنا يكرمك. ميتحرمش منك.
Great build. Just one doubt: at 4:20 how were you able to constantly cast the hammer. For me it has a down time after the 2nd hit
Swap every other cast to the off-hand staff. So one cast per staff and switch.
@@KimoChaser aah got it. Thank you
@@KimoChaser Of cause. Smart.
I got the comet spell but can't use it yet. I'm really looking forward to it
I really hope you enjoy the build, my friend. Thank you for stopping by.
Maybe I should get this game next. The sorceries here look cooler and more useful than those on DS3.. My sorc run had been mostly heavy soul arrow from start to finish with that moonblade thingie from the DLC for when I wanna look cool on NG+ 🤣🤣🤣
