Plz can you tell where the Meteorite staff us? I dont find anything on Wiki or other sites about it!
@@fabulousk9014 The staff is located in the caled swamp, in the ruins, there's a dead body hanging on the window, the staff is there.
@@tyberzann9749 Im not seeing any dead body hanging from any windows, is it actually near the step down to the chest or another building?
Found it, its not near the actual ruins, its near the edge of the swamp where you jump down with the npc merchant just up on the ledge. Guarded by a couple poison flowers.
Can I play in this game without melee combat (Magic only)?
"If you got the aptitude, you've should join the mages at the college of winterhold"
😂😂
That is if you didn't get an arrow to the knee🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😂
Hell yea bro
I always steal his soul, take it to the CoW & sell it to the Daedra at the Atrinoch Forge for a daedra heart.
Then eat it.
I started as a mage. I am now 14 hours in and I had no idea I could change my flasks. That information alone made this video worth it lol
😂
Lol, I'm 14 hours in as well and still too weak to kill Godrick. Mage balancing could use some work.
@@finitesound Change all of your pots to mana and dodge all the attacks. Pretty easy. This is what I did while being underleveled. Also abuse your summons.
@@finitesound Use summons to distract, I used the wolves, bring in the Allie you run into in the castle that you can summon at the entrance, stay distant and be ready to dodge.
Go grind some XP boost INT and Mana I think mine was 30 int mana 20 when I beat him. Equip light armor to move faster, your going to try and avoid the hits anyways.
5 points in Dex so you can pop off spells faster.
@@mrmanceres7653 jelly fish is WAAAAY better for a mage then the wolves. it is unusually tanky and has ranged attacks
Once you get Swift Glintstone Shard, you'll never use Pebble again. Also, once you got your horse, go get the Meteorite staff, and while you're there also grab the Rock Sling spell in the same zone. Rock Sling absolutely destroys bosses. In addition to making the most damage of all spells (if all 3 rocks hit), it breaks their guard and stuns them. Also, you can get a +2 INT head by farming the imps you run into in the early catacombs. It's a rare drop from them, but I got it in like an hour of farming them, so not too bad. For an armor set, the best I have found is the Cleanrot set, that you get by killing a Cleanrot Knight in Aeonia, maybe 10-20 hours in.
Highest damage output setup I’ve used with 50 int, is Frostshard while wearing the Frost Witch Hat, and the charm that boosts sorcery potency, while using the charm that shortens casting time, allowing you to spam Frostshard causing enemies to shatter and take tons of damage
I have farmed and farmed those 'blanking' imps and none of the frackers will drop the ugly ass head.
@@Kaitri my intelligence stat went down while I was trying to read that
@@nixiestarlight158 I said swift, not great, and to get it all you have to do is ride the horse to the place and pick up the book.
Hi, this is real testimony of a spell doctor who helped me bring back my finance, who left i and the kids for 9 month. i had lost all hope about my finance coming back home again. if you're going thr
To add to this build - there's a Green Turtle Talisman that raises stamina recovery speed. Highly recommend as you can easily spam spells and regain endurance quickly and it's easy to get to as a newbie.
thank you for the tip!
When you pick up the Meteorite Staff, look nearby for some ruins that have some Mage garments; hat, gloves, etc.
I can’t find any mage garments!
Yeah with like 0 regular defense.
Armor only boosts defensive stats, so unless you are fighting against magic spells that traveller's set is useless.
@@jessesmans9791 that is one I came across and it was junk compared to my starting outfit.
I did hunt down the sage outfit and let fashion win for now.
@@PoserPunx Hahahaha. Can't traverse the depths of Elden Hell without some nice fashion on your butt.
I’ve been using the scarab helm or whatever because it reduces fp use
This is my first ever souls game i would have been lost without this absolutely awesome guide i can't thank you enough for posting this i really appreciate it Thank you very much You have my subscription big-time,
Wholesome souls
@@anthonyhall4170 💀
This is my second attempt at a souls game, I’ve had the game for a day and already gotten close to snapping my controller in half again
it's not even a souls game lol
@@dylanmackenzie1029 it’s a from software game and people count them as souls games
Pulled the trigger on making a mage first time. Never played a dark souls and this guide is amazing.
I’m thinking about making a mage as well , how is it going for you?
@@chrisabaya3030 I'm doing a mage build as well, I played all the fromsoftware games with other kinds of builds, so this is my first mage build, and I can answer for you decide if it's worth for you:
Some bosses and mobs became extremely easy compared to other builds, you just have to keep the distance and you can first try almost anything, basically some of the fights become easier, but for me that's about it.
Your mana often runs out in bigger areas, and then you have to go meele, with very low hp, usually you die pretty fast, the horseback fights are incredibly terrible, the spells only hit if you face the enemy, which is pretty hard while you're trying to flee, slow bosses are a peace of cake, but fast engager bosses and mobs are a nightmare.
I played about 13 hours and my most reliable spell is still the starting one, I thought there was a lot of cool, strong and useful spells but in reality there is only a handful worth using.
So it's pretty hard to "manage" you have to be careful with you potions, how you position, you will get oneshot by almost anything really, and probably its not really worth it.
This is my first Souls-like and I chose Astrologer as well. Hope it's working out for you; it's going really well so far for me. I'm really enjoying flinging spells at stuff.
@@chrisabaya3030 try it out and see for yourself
@@j3htro203 only a handful my ass. You’ve only played 13 hours. You aren’t obligated to just use the same damn spell all game. There’s way more then a handful of useful. Spells
The tortoise shell is a great shield for mages I found it on the weeping peninsula in a chest and have been using ever since. It’s durable and it’s ability negates most damage and magic damage when in use
There's also an easy spell slot in the tower next to it. For reference these are the towers attop the cliff adjacent to the bonfire near the black knight that only comes out at night.
Question. I found the turtle shell. But it still allows me to use it even with small red x next to it since my stats are not that high. Should I still use it?
@@alloverdaplace2043 If you haven't found an answer to your question; usually when something has an X next to it, that means it either will NOT work at all, or it's efficiency will go down MAJORLY. For example: If I use a greatsword with an X, my damage will be lowered a lot. If I use a spell, I simply won't cast it.
I've never used shields with red X's, but based on the previous knowledge, what could happen is either the absorption will go down (So if a weapon has passive magic dmg, instead of blocking say, 50 of that damage, I will only block 25), or the stamina cost to block a hit will go up tremendously and open me up to free hits or riposte. Not a good situation to be in.
@@octaviarose2067 tldr: don't use equipment with an x mark on it
I've always done strength builds in souls games. Tried both confessor and astrologer for a couple hours for something different. Now I far prefer astrologer. Sticking with that. Thank you for the advice.
Awesome guide. Straight to the point, clear cut info. As a mage player in Skyrim I knew that I would be going to do the same in Elden Ring, so once I get the game I'll be ready. Thanks.
I am playing a mage at the start. And this is going to be very helpful.
I'm getting my a*s kicked as an astrologer 🥺
@@Cactusiano You need to make adjustments, that's all.
And do consider that the Astrologer might not be a good starting class for you personally. So be ready to try something else if you need to.
Magic users tend be slow starters in a lot of rpgs as well. So that is another thing to deal with when playing one.
Me to, have the fear of a sword battle
That was my choice too! I'm a few hours in now and having great fun, how about you?
@@Capper_Bra so what depends on ur level etc, maybe ur not good enough to be a different character, play to ur strengths.
1st time trying a Fromsoftware game so followed this guide with my Astrologer. Absolutely having a blast, thank you ;D
Good for you! dark souls 3 was my first but this is something else!!! good luck Tarnished one!
Same! Was samurai at first but saw mage and looked so sick
@@yetiz_gaming230 nice! I want to try rolling an alt for melee but I gotta git gud at this game first
Hi, this is real testimony of a spell doctor who helped me bring back my finance, who left i and the kids for 9 month. i had lost all hope about my finance coming back home again. if you're going thr
I've always loved playing as a pyromancer in the previous souls game but this time I'm going with a mage see how that will go. This honestly made a lot of sense, you got to the point really nicely.
You can still play a pyromancer in this game, but all the fire and dragon magic is faith based, so you need a cleric... I was super bummed out when I gave in my dragon hearts, saw amazing spells, but then realized I can't cast any of them...
@@HMan2828 prophet is the way to go
@@HMan2828 yeah missing the ability to invest no levels but still do crazy damage with pyromancy is sad, but having such a wide variety for faith builds nearly makes up for it
I've never played any mage in any souls game, so this time I'll try it out. It does look pretty cool from what I could see here, so I'm pretty excited to play myself in a few hours!
Same!
I hope you enjoy it! Have you started yet? How is it going? My biggest tip for anyone playing a souls game for the first time is never to get too greedy, trying to give an enemy one last hit before dodging is the hit which is going to get you killed! My second tip is never underestimate even the smallest of enemies!
Until now I’m hating the experience to play as a mage
1 and 2 was easy mode when playing mage. 3 suddenly flip the script and made mage hard mode by giving bosses lunge attacks when you’re far away. This one feels somewhere in the middle.
Went through 2 runs in ds2 learning mage for elden ring
The swift spell really helps a lot against many fast and flying enemies. The rock sling is powerful, but too slow to cast and had to be used on stationary/kited enemies.
This was such a perfect video for me. Thanks a ton
I'm starting to play Elden Ring now with the release of the DLC and will use this as a starting build! Thanks!
Have you enjoyed it?
@@imaheadout2639 yes, I also used the tips here to get green turtle talisman and meteorite staff and it's working great so far, currently at lvl 57
this is the class I was looking at when I first start. thanks for the guide
If you can find it, I highly recommend the carian sword you find mid game. It uses somber smithing stones, but doesn't need a ton of upgrades to be a viable melee weapon for a mage as it scales with intelligence
but what about your armor then? since u are mage dont u have disadvantage close?
Thank you so much Fextralife. I took way too long making my character lmao I want to use magic but I also like swords. Can’t wait for the prisoner video frfr. I wasn’t even looking at that class because it looked funny but from using your wiki I found out that it’s the class I’m most interested. It takes time to do all of this and I’m thankful for your efforts ✊🏾💪🏾
Thanks for the info. I'm trying a mage for my first run, I also chose the astrologer. I like the seed advice, I may restart to use that now that I understand the basics.
Thanks for the video. I was on the fence between confessor and mage. Now I think I'll be rockin' the mage class to start the game.
Your previous mage guide for the souls remake for the PS5 was very useful.
Glad you also made a mage guide for this game too! Look forward to more mage guides and tips as I will play as this class.
Handy guide! I've always found these games a little overwhelming but these guides you guys are putting out are helping me no end!
The first time I played Elden Ring I used your double greatsword build and ended the game easily with it. I didn't do a second playthrough after that. It's almost a year, and I am starting afresh as a mage using your video as a starter guide. Thanks (Y)
Great video! As a new player to these type of games I’m definitely going with this build and all the information was very helpful thanks!
Thank You, Cas. Been great watching the Live Stream of ya putting this together. Very helpful compilation. - Happy Gaming, Fextra Community!
I just started up a 2nd character to play as a mage and wow does it make playing the same game completely fresh. So much fun, nice guide, thanks.
I’m doing a strength magic build for my first character and it has definitely been a challenge. These tips will help out for sure
I'm planning to do the same when I get the disc on ps4. How do you go about it ? Do you use ash of war to change the scaling or did you buff the weapon using a spell ?. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks
@@Siuiop i'd say dex and int works best. dex decreases cast time (like in ds1) now so dex is a pretty useful stat to have
@@mooseroom but moonlight greatsword
@@came4861 if there's a moonlight greatsword in ER then i'm gonna be a strength int kid
@@mooseroom oh there's definitely gonna be one. Every game has had it except sekiro I think
Rocking a mage for my first playthough of Elden Ring, which also happens to be my first venture into magic in any souls game, loving it so far! Though I wish there was a more satisfying way to progress my spells rather than sticking to one, Glintstone Pebble, for most of my journey!
Later on you get better spells... I'm 30 hours in and pebble isn't even memorized anymore.
@@HMan2828 What is the better follow-up(s) to Pebble as one progresses the game as a spellcaster?
Thanks for the video and the tips!! I've been planning to main mage build on this game, and magic looks pretty strong too!! Excited to start playing it tonight after work.
I’ll be playing your Paladin build. You helped me heaps with D2R and I appreciate you here. Always entertaining.
Amazing layout and transitions. Perfect descriptions and straight to the point narrative.
Earned a new sub definitely coming back to this channel.
been here nearly 3 years--Fextra is all you need. ;)
Arc spells may be less damage efficient but their main application is defense (primarily in pvp), same as homing soulmass in ds3. Keeps you safe while you are immobile casting other spells.
Yup. It's perfect for Crowd control when I have a group of enemies who are running at me. It's My "Oh shit" spell lol
Starting a new character and playing astrologer as I was a samurai before…..this is a great guide! Thanks 😊
Thanks for the video. New to the Souls' series. Mage/spellcasters have always been my pick. The video was just what I was looking for ❤️.
Great guide I was meaning to start as an astrologer.. helped a lot 🥃
Thanks this is super informative compared to the “most op mage builds”
This is my first soul game I used to be on eso but I thank you very much for the tips you gave me and I'm loving this game every time I put it on taking a step by step thank you
This video is amazing. It saved so much time for me and it is not complicated at all.
I’ll try it out, my first mage run in all SoulsLike ❤️❤️
Thanks mate, you are awesome ☺️
Looking forward to a more end-game mage build guide. Really liking being a spell caster so far early game.
While you're onto getting the Meteorite staff, there's a Rock Sling spell nearby too. Look for it, it's absolutely devastating. It also gets a 30% damage boost for the staff itself.
Thanks you! Finally got Elden ring and have been watching your beginner guides to see how I want to play! Great videos dude! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for this video. I am heavily leaning towards the Mage class
This is the first souls game that I actually plan on trying to beat, so this guide definitely helped me decide that I wanna play as a Mage! Great video!
Your guides are going to be so crucial for my playthrough. Please do a prisoner build soon!
This was everything I could have wanted from a build guide. Thanks.
Thank you for the video, very helpful 👍🏼
I've been starting and stopping videos because I don't want to know some secret location that will "Make me OP" and then quickly spoil the experience. I wanted to learn descent starter techniques and make my way through the game myself. Exploration, discovery and challenge is why games like this exist. So I really appreciate your approach. Thanks.
I’ll be playing this class! It’s cool that you replenish mana from killing lower enemies too!
Very helpful, great guide. Thanks for the content!
Thanks for that map marker for the weeping peninsula really helpful
I started as mage, now I'm a mage with great curvesword from the riders. And their armor too.
Big compliment to your build guides (again)!
Perfectly structured and straight to the point 👍🏻
Maybe add some boss fight strategies for different scenarios into the beginner's guides, if you do the ober after some patch or so.
I struggle in tight spaces with NPC backup (i.e. black knife catacombs) or very agile bosses (erdtree spirit).
I just started playing and picked astrologer! I’m glad I came across this video, it’s so helpful!
Playing a Mage at the start, thanks for the video, very helpful!
Loving these breakdowns! Can’t wait to FINALLY play on a few hours.
Change your xbox settings to the Netherlands and you can play now
@@JJ-dz3ob 😂 that’s crazy! Thanks for the tip.
I'm not sure how much Int you get from the glint crowns *haven't gotten one yet), but if your patient you can farm the Imp enemies in the Stormfoot catacombs until you get a 'Imp head(Cat)' helmet drop. Its heavy(8.1) but it gives +2 int. I got lucky on my mage on got one on my first kill in there. It is a fairly rare drop though. I know the academy headpieces give int, but they also lower either stamina or health as a cost.
Olivinus Glintstone Crown give +3 int
@@rotn2013 If you've completed the academy, you can buy the Queen's set from the vendor lady with 2 heads at the round table. Her head, in addition to be STYLISH!!!, gives +3 INT.
Great guide, thank you!
This is the class I’m going 1st play through thanks for the vid
Never really played the souls games but looking at them, especially this mage, it looks like upgraded castlevania 64 with no belmonts. I loved castlevania 64!
Prisoner still makes an amazing Mage, in current meta he is actually the best starting mage because of the starting dex and strength (moonveil). Hold on to all scrolls and turn them into the turtle at the church as no matter the npc quests u break, he never leaves. You can actually get to him at the beginning of the game and unlock the grace up there
Moonveil gets shit on by Meteorite staff anywhere last 20int. Itll do 890 damage 5 times in 4 secs with a Raya Lucaria spell called "comet" and only 13 Endurance. With 30 endurance, terra magicka, Twinsage crown, and Pysick tear i can do 8 hits in 6 secs that do near 1400 each.
Great info…having trouble deciding which build…but you helped me to decide! Thanks…you got a new sub!
Keep up with the great info!👍😁
Nice vid, very helpful, just got game and starting as Astrologer first so this helps.
I chose the Vagabond as my first class. But I've been considering making a mage character, considering I've never made one in a souls game. Thanks a lot for the tips!
Same here, I just respecd my vagabond into a mage build mid game. Loving it so far
same here. love the vagabond
I did the same and spent 5 minutes looking at the start menu before i hit "new game". I have no regrets re-rolling with an astrologer.
@@andresperez6654 I tried that but I thought it would ruin my sword build. how is it?
Magic is always my favorite playstyle. It's pretty close to perfect in this game. I barely ever run out of FP unless I'm being careless, and there are way too many good spells. It's hard to choose, and I keep thinking that I might come across a scenario where I would need a certain spell. Fortunately, we get new spell slots much faster in this game.
I was a bit disappointed that they gave fire spells to Faith instead of Int considering that fire was Int based in Demon's Souls, but there are a few new types of magic for Int based builds to use. Stuff like Madness, Ice, and Gravity.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I can finally be a mage in a vast fantasy world! I can't wait to try it out!!!
Love your guides, love your Voice, go on! ❤️
Elden Ring is my first „Souls Game“ and thanks to you i have a lot more fun.
Thank you for the guide, this helped me a lot seen as this is my first souls game.
Going to try mage for the first time after hundreds of hours
I started as samurai got him to 21 but I felt bored so I made a mage and it’s really fun, lots to learn, try, get and it’s a different play style
Me too!!
same but it was because I decided I wanted a distance between me and some of the monsters
Awesome video, and right to the point.
Thank you! Really helpful❤️
Struggled to pick a starting class... I finally went with astrologer... and stuck with it. At level 20 now... was never a magic user thru any SOULS game... but I'm in love with the Mage gameplayvin this game 💯👏
Same! I normally pick the knight , vagabond type .
Thanks a lot for this guide. Made me realize I probably won't enjoy pure caster, so I will follow the paladin guide instead. Amazing content as always
same!
Same, It's a souls game. Standing afar and casting spells without getting right up to the enemies means you won't get the full experience.
@@kal2352 in your opinion. Different people tend to like to experience things in different ways.
Been trying to find a scorcery merchant for days this helped so much!
Great video, thanks!
Great video, about 15 hours in and 2 bosses down with my astronomer build. Going really well and also if you want to still have a melee weapon you can switch that staff to your left hand and equip a sword to your right to get the added melee damage
yess i do that. who needs protection anyways lol
@@Xannah spam roll and run away strategy 😂
EVERYONE - THE METEORITE STAFF can be found SOUTH EAST of the [Aeonia Swamp Shore - waypoint]. There is a body hanging outside of a stone window. Dismount and walk along the outer edges to loot the body without having to fight the mobs inside.
where in relation to [caelid highway south]? because thats SW of [aeona swamp shore]
it's in streets of sages ruins. NORTH of aeonia swamp shore or WEST of Inner aeonia.
There’s a link on the wikis map eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Meteorite+Staff and eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Interactive+Map?id=1804&lat=-180.24&lng=138.32&zoom=8
@@julienc6178 maybe loot drops are randomized because I did not get my staff in the sage ruins. There I found the spell SLING ROCK
I just got into elden ring and have never played a mage class so this helped alot! 😊 always played as a knight either 1 hand sword or 2 handed weapons for all souls game btw lol
Been looking for this sort of vid, thank you so much! I can wait to build my wizard.
Early pure mage comes down to 2 things...Meteorite Staff, Rock Sling. That spell and that staff will take you VERY far and sorta...spoils you a little.
Everyone starts with the astrologer for mage builds. But I started with the prisoner
thanks this was helpful. looking forward to the prophet guide.
Meteorite Staff is not in the wiki yet. The location of where to get the Demi-Human Queen's Staff is not either other than it is starting equipment for the prisoner.
Do you know where to find it?
Agreed
nothing anywhere on a meteorite staff wtf?
No luck finding info on it
@@Fallenflamez did he say” Caleb” ruins ? I couldn’t understand what he said ,and I can’t find anything ruins similar sounding either
I really wonder how the scaling with the ashes of war will work in the end. If you can achieve weapon damage scaling based on int or faith on the same level as classic str or dex scaling, I don't see the point of having str/dex based melee characters if int/faith also do the trick AND give you sorceries on top. Maybe the scaling won't be as strong?
yeah thats what I've been wondering, would be interesting to do once more info comes out
depends, Int and faith scaling have split damage, so if you're fighting against enemies with int or faith resistance your weapon damage will do jack shit, so there's a trade-off there
Not only like Khai said split damage but dex/str boost defense too. And you don't need FP for like str/dex/quality build mostly.
it will be the same as DS buuuut magic and bows are more viable. Which is good and fun!
as others have said the scaling is split and against magic/faith resistant stuff ur in a bigger pinch also, weapons that have split types can not have coatings applied to the weapon so those useful ones for adding fire or lightning damage to ur wep don't work here, you can also set those weapons to scale off normal stuff still and deal magic damage as far as I can tell. the magic ash of war lets u choose normal scaling still without adding magic damage to the weapon.
Thanks! Please put out a guide for the bandit, too :)
Really liking mage. Thanks for the tips
Going prisoner. I feel like having a reliable melee option in the beginning will help carry me until I can get some decent spells and I want to go more spell sword with dex anyways.
prisonner is better to play mage and sword?
I'm playing Astro now and the sword and buckler I started with is fine for a backup
Well, honestly Dex is gonna be super useful for any casting class as it increases casting speed. Heck, weapon damage for Dez kinda soft caps at 40 while casting speed's bonus doesn't soft cap until 60, so your pure caster may actually end up with more dex than your agile fighter types.
astrologer is actually a decent melee character once you get a turtle shell shield.
Then prisoner will give you wasted points in Strength, but play what you want of course.
I needed this
This helped a lot
The meteorite staff gets stronger with more int. I have 45 int and my staff's scaling is at 206
And so do all staves.
the clarity around the first staff you can get at weeping peninsula is just incredible. I got right to the spot, found the mini boss with no name and got my staff, thanks (not)
the demi human queen staff? hmmm big mystery who drops it
Thanks you helped me a lot
This is my fourth play through and All other times I’ve been more melee so I’m finally trying a mage build
If you can buy spells early why not go with Prisoner? Better gear and all around stats and you can grind for the extra INT and MND with the Meteroite Staff
Mage looks real interesting. Thinking of starting over. Confessor looks cool, but it’s boring me.
I did it yesterday, from confessor to astrologer, I do not regret, it's really cool
If you keep with the confessor, you'll get amazing offensive spells later on, especially if you kill a few dragons, and kill a few pyromaniacs... INT sorcerers only get offensive spells, faith based clerics or confessors get heals, crowd control, AND offensive spells.
Thanks for this 😊. I'm definitely gonna try this class
I found aswell getting a really good set of summoning ashes is good too, i grab the Ancestral spirit cause it does melee and ranged attacks that are medium strength and its tanky, the hardest part about getting it isnt even the boss fight its lighting the pyres to summon it.
I'm going to do a int/str hybrid battlemage. Dunno how viable it is but i like to also fight in close combat and still use some spells. Instead of only spamming spells at range.
Thinking about the same build, think good for start as melee and magic is prisoner or confessor
Spell spamming will be boring after a while, hybrid is where I’m going
Dex synergizes better with int
@@DG-nn8zt yes I wanna do a strength mage build too but would prisoner be better or no? I wanna be a in your face kinda mage
@@Webxhed It does, but only because of the casting speed. However it's not as fun as having a huge ass weapon but still being able to cast spells. :)
