releasing the same day as the Elden Ring DLC is absolute suicide by their marketing team. 100% even if the game is the greatest souls like of all time it will be forgotten and overshadowed, probably never even mentioned in many circles.
Erdsteel Dagger's heavy attack spam has extremely fast multi hits, and props Talisman effects very quick. Godskin Swaddling Cloth with Bloody Slash Erdteel Dagger is wonderful.
At this stage I'm convinced that Hunter is an AI running on Gino's PC that edits these vids when he's not streaming, getting this much stream footage cut up this quickly is humanely impossible
I started Elden ring day 1 on the Bandit with daggers, they have never been bad, I melted bosses so fast that I missed whole boss phases and thought my friends were lying about.
They changed the date. They literally stated it'd be suicide to launch with it. Plus Enotria had that release before Elden Ring announced it, so they had no idea 😅
its funny how people will say "x in elden ring sucks" but you just make every weapon class look so powerful due to your insane skill level at the game, its almost unfair lol. but you really do such an amazing job at showcasing any weapons true power
@@FedoraFlickNickehh yea there’s that too but it’s much easier when you have every major boss memorized and very rarely get hit lol. That’s something no build can give you
Just wanted to say, watching your videos and streams has encouraged me to start trying out some challenge runs, and I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do, and keep creating the awesome videos!
Funny thing is: The legendary ThePruld is actually making a bunch of (if not all) the cutscene animations for Enotria. I knew this sponsor seemed familiar.
Gino at the start of the run:"I dont think daggers are gonna be that good." At the end:"daggers are fucking broken" Edit:I forgot the dude at the end of both sentences
It's hilarious how powerful they get with the usual bleed shenanigans...not sure there'd be anything new about it except using the successive atks buff maybe.
1. Black Knight Sword 2. Hollowslayer Greatsword 3. Astora Greatsword Honestly I didn't try all that much different weapon types, just normal swords, katanas, greatswords and ultra great swords. I platinum'd the game and had a like 66//60 build with all the soft caps by the end. I also used the splitleaf greatsword but the only weapon that really spoke to me was the black knight sword, which I had just used for the first NG cycle of DS1's platinum. It had the best damage of all the weapons. Also I never understood twinblades, the combo everyone loves uses too much time/stamina for it to be worth it vs a higher damage weapon, for the hard bosses you usually only have time for like 1 safe hit.
This run was awesome to watch. Daggers was the second run I did after my first original playthrough in Elden Ring so it's cool seeing everything now that we know a lot more about the game
daggers was the first run i ever did and it kinda disappointed me to see so many people talking about how bad they are, if you maximize crit or bleed, a lot of fights can become pretty trivial
Something interesting I found about crits they get a massive buff when your at full buffs from winged sword Millicents and the thorny cracked tear I hit one with a curved sword with base the base crit multiplier and the dagger talisman for almost 6k
They're not great, but I'll stand by a late-game blender build: dual wield poison-infused Bloodstained Daggers. (Alternatively, go Occult infusions + poison mist. Poison build-up is pretty much a non-issue, either way.) Run both Lord of Blood's & Kindred of Rot's Exaltations, Winged Sword/Milicent's Prosthesis, and whatever fourth talisman you want. Get minimum stat requirements, but, otherwise, pump everything into Arcane, Vigor, and Endurance. Innate bleed build-up _with_ non-somber upgrading means you can double-dip Arcane scaling for damage & multiple status build-ups. Poison exists solely to buff with Kindred of Rot's. You can _easily_ pump out thousands of damage in just a couple of attack chains once everything ramps up --- it's actually a little terrifying, and makes short work of bosses with limited mobility (like Mogh and Placidusax).
1:47!48 that is dolores, the sleeping arrow. one of the 2 options for seluvis' first puppet purchase, the other being next to him, fingermaiden therolina. he actually sends therolina to aid against the radahn fight. and bcuz she is a puppet thats why she never speaks, only bows. sadly, that isnt letmesoloher(official retcon needs to happen last year) its jarwright.
realizing that 4 hours on youtube is actually possibly 2 or 3 days of playing consistently on stream is so amazing. your elden ring content is literally so top tier and even with the appropriate amount of memes edited in! i thank thee foul Tarnished
Damn you Gino xD I just started a new playthrough earlier this week, went with a faith/arcane pure caster with dragonbreaths for funs and to get ready for the DLC later this year. And then you come with a great vid on my favourite weapon type, now I am very tempted to either just start over again or just switch my current build to daggers instead xD
Mix. Erdsteel with any of the arcane related infusions will get you nice scaling on those stats. A good caster needs a backup weapon anyways, for emergencies. Made a longer more detailed comment but TH-cam deleted it
@@nnaammllooss11 a good caster always should have a backup in case they run out of magic or get in a too tight spot. Any who claims they don't just doesn't have any idea what they are talking about and will soon find themselves dead. One of my earliest playthroughs was a dragon caster like you, with reduvia as a backup (Dragon seal scales MUCH more with arcane than faith, the latter barely affects the power of it) and it worked great, the blood blade comes pretty fast and uses low fp, you can really treat it as a cantrip or extra spell. You can make use of that for a dragon communion build. Safe travels, tarnished
I can and have done full casters before successfully and it works fine tbf, for PvE you definitely dont need a melee backup if you have a good build xD But it does help and is never a bad thing to have. That said, I will definitely give it a good think. Erdsteel and Reduvia are solid options so I might switch my occult spiked club for one of those. But I haven't fully decided yet if I stick with what I got now, or if I switch to full daggers again. Both build options are a lot of fun.
1:58:00 There are multiple theories why Seleen became a Graven Mass. One theory is that was her plan all along, that's why she wanted the bodies of Azur and Lusatt, so she could fuse with them and become a Graven Mass (and Graven Masses *are* kinda the thing that Primevil Current sorcerers are known for) The other theory, is that when Seleen "killed" Renalla, she didn't know Renalla effectively can't die, because she has about 1000 re-birthed clones, so Renalla just came back and turned her *into* a Graven Mass.
my favorite build that I can never do because they keep being end game in my elden ring rando runs is great stars and rot hammer with poison mist and hooffrost stomp (or whatever they're called) cuz then you do rot poison frost bleed all at once
I actually did this exact type of run in 2022 while on deployment. Reducing and scorpion stinger for early game, then swapping the scorpion stinger for black knife for mid-late game was the way for me to go. Was lots of fun fighting Radagon
Idea for Twitch / TH-cam quality differential. Take Twitch VOD, cut audio, overlay audio on TH-cam VOD. Upsides of no loud notifications with the benefits of TH-cam's higher bitrate. Bit more effort but definitely doable
One shooting the death rite bird in the consecrated snowfield with the inseparable sword and some buffs is one of my favorite parts of my runs. Holy just works so well on them.
2:04:13 Gino casually going into his menu to check something literal MILLISECONDS before God Devouring Serpent strikes and him actually getting the dodge made me LOL and gave me so much anxiety
these vids got me back on elden ring, starting with a strength build to get used to it again then im thinking about daggers cause this looks really fun
1:42:13 lustat's lore is something along the lines of he was shunned for primal magics(like azur and sellen) and was imprisoned in the sealed cave by the sages of selia town iirc. i cant remember where i heard all this(prolly vaati vidya) but i do know he azur and sellen are all hated by the college for the primal magic vs astral.
As someone who isn't super great at this game, it's on the verge of infuriating seeing just how many attacks you can either just stand still or casually walk to avoid.
@@nikalasguadagnino1296 I'm sure it will be a fine, maybe even a great game, but all the souls tubers being sponsored just means they have a big marketing budget, which has nothing to do with the quality of the game. Take raid shadow legends, for example.
Its crazy your content made its way to me after dlc release and now that ive seem this its crazy my first play through and first time on any souls game i beat elden ring with the reduvia, i just liked the quick slashing and fighting style, i was only overpowered though by being over leveled on some bosses or mini bosses, now that i know what can make me better im hype to play ng+2 dlc i haven’t touched the game since i beat it
Crit damage ignores defenses so elemental (higher AR) is better for ripostes! 40 dex keen misericorde is 334 AR, whereas it hits 421 AR lightning infused. Even sacred/magic/cold hit higher AR than keen with base int/fai.
Crits do NOT ignore defenses. That’s a myth. But crits on daggers do so much raw damage that you always get a very mild defense calculation. So split damage is usually better than pure phys.
If you're locked on to the head, glintblades will shoot at the head. Not sure though if you can unlock at all, some spells will shoot at whatever you were locked onto when you fired it while others require the lock on to stay on
Great video but what a missed opportunity at 8:31 "This is Madness" he was saying "Madness? This is SPARTA!" as you kick him off to his death Thats how I'm going to choose to remember it 😂
This was my first playthrough. Daggers only. After I got reduvia it was set in stone. Love daggers in this game, it's the only game where you can really make daggers work.
Wakizashi was weirdly important for my first playthru, I got banished to Caelid by the chest like immediately and stumbled into the cave with my starting stonesword key and picked it up lol
Is there a place where you have your routes for no hit runs? I was trying to attempt one myself but it would be nice to see something I can follow at my own pace.
Twin Great Knife or Great knife/Reduvia on a Dex/Arcane build (or twin Bloodstained dagger for Str/Arc) is one of the best builds in the game. The multi-hits talismans, combined with the speed of your attacks & LoBE/SoA = huge numbers, plus super easy status procs. (The only thing that bugs me is you can't put Seppuku on a dagger, which is ridiculous but the other bleed AoW work just fine).
The parkour sectons make my teeth itch, if on a small platform I prefer to jump in place and then hold down circle (I'm on playstation) in the air and hold it on landing, the player character will then go into a full sprint from standing when a direction is selected and you can do immediate long jumps.
main build for my playthrough was buckler shield, mescord w/bloody slash and the assassin's charm for regen. loved it no matter how weak it is comparatively
I can barely get through a lot of these fights while TRYING my best, and here you are fing around in your menu, dancing around the bosses like you're walking in the park...
I did this around summer time last year, and its not as bad as you think. Elden Ring was my first souls like, but immediately i picked up daggers as soon as i saw them. For one, horse back combat is impossible, so most knights cavalry bosses were done on foot. Dragons were also the same way. Second the attack speed of the daggers and the talismans that give you consecutive hits are amazing. Blood loss occurs every like 2-5 combo attacks depending on resistances, your own stats in arcane, and what weapons you use. Rot and poison are stackable and really easy to afflict on an opponent. Theres not real weapon for frost or death, but regardless, it still strong cause of the blights that are available. Third, you absolutely have to be in the enemies face. Theres no if ands or buts about it, but at the same time, most daggers that arent special have quickstep, which is a roll that is replaced with a slide and lefts you even do a semicircle around an opponent, making you very agile and can even pull of the nastiest backstabs sometimes. For me, my primaries were the Bloodstained Dagger in my main hand (this can be farmed as early as Weeping pen. by killing the large Demi Human resting on the bridge to the left of the Demi human forest.) And some fist weapons (for enemies that are slash/pierce resistant), and in my secondary hand, id have both Reduvia, for blood loss, or the Scorpion Stinger, for rot in the secondary hot bars. I actually capitalized on the usefulness of the daggers because I used the Black Whetstone on the Bloodstained Dagger to make it so that it scaled with Arcane, and so that it not only applies natural Blood loss, but Poison too. So basically Right hand was BSD, and left hand was either Red. or S.Sting. Theres also a ton of other daggers i used but these just seemed great for statuses and such. I had a blast with the daggers. They definitely do a bunch of damage but it for sure sacrifices being at a safe distance. It also really teaches you to learn the enemies moves since you arent gonna be able to gain distance on them fast enough. 10/10 would recommend.
I started the convergence mod yesterday as a blood initiate. So I went to grab the reduvia... and I noticed in convergence, it does STRAIGHT fire damage... like bloodflame... that mod is so friggin awesome man... and anybody who hasn't played it yet. I suggest they do... it's simple to install too... if I can do it, ANYBODY can
Incredibly fun watch. The way you eke out just that smallest little bit more damage than Everyone else who plays this game , makes all the difference Ducking under attacks other people would dodge. Or just tank Beautiful
Every time someone has told me something, at least as a generalized class of things, is useless in Elden Ring, me and my buddy have done a challenge run in seamless coop to test it. We heard fist weapons were bad, and we glitched into Leyndell at like lv56 and killed Morgott sub 60. We heard throwable items are bad, and recognizing that they definitely don't do enough damage for some bosses we decided to use bows and crossbows as well since they're gated by max ammo amounts. They're not as good as fists, but they work real good. Every time we go back to our standard dex arcane bleed and pure mage builds, we realize there's something about doing challenge runs.
this is the second video i watched from this guy and when he attacked ranni to test hits... that made me do a deeply disturbed face. Fun vid tho will do a dagger run too
I used Reduvia for most of a playthrough, then Great knife with Endure and Frost/Innate Bleed W/ Reduvia, tanking with daggers at light load is amazing
I used daggers on my first play through. Very effective, however they don't stagger enemies often so I ended up switching to double pole arms and they were much easier to use
My favorite DS3 weapons are Hollow Slayer, Lothric SS (Baller Swag Sword vibes), carthus curved, Nameless King Swordspear, Millwood Axe and like in every From game, Claymore, butcher knife and Black Knight weapons. FUGS and Profaned UGS are fun too and most of the dlc weapons were great. Such an awesome game and has my favorite fashion in it.

I feel sorry for the sponsor, will still play it after the dlc though. Thanks for the suggestions lad!
"set to release June 21st" oh good I sure hope there isn't an incredibly highly anticipated expansion for the 2022 GOTY releasing on the same day...
Fun fact daggers are the only way to tru on hit one shot fire giant using weapons
releasing the same day as the Elden Ring DLC is absolute suicide by their marketing team. 100% even if the game is the greatest souls like of all time it will be forgotten and overshadowed, probably never even mentioned in many circles.

Interesting
or you can put flame art on it to double down on the faith scaling for much more damage against bleed-immune bosses
Releasing on June 21st is tough 💀
they said in an interview that theyre moving the release b/c of elden ring dlc..
oof
That's rough buddy
they aint getting NO players first month
@@masonparker6652that’s a smart move tbh
At this stage I'm convinced that Hunter is an AI running on Gino's PC that edits these vids when he's not streaming, getting this much stream footage cut up this quickly is humanely impossible
I am become Hunter, destoryer of VODs
Hunter is an absolute unit.
the dagger streams are almost 2 weeks old lol
I would say it's humanly possible, yeah.
It’s not
Beat elden ring today
Fuck yeah man. It's a hard game good job
Good job bro. Did u have fun?
Liar
gg
Liar ahead
What is a spear, but a dagger on a stick
What is a sword, but a dagger for very large individuals
What is a axe but a dagger on the side of a stick
what is a warhammer, but a very dull dagger

I started Elden ring day 1 on the Bandit with daggers, they have never been bad, I melted bosses so fast that I missed whole boss phases and thought my friends were lying about.
That happened to me, but my steam has always been bugged so i missed the misbegotton and crucible knight boss
Enotria releasing when Elden Ring DLC drops 💀
its gonna get like 4 players bruh they gotta release earlier 😭
@@Chickenpatty4000the dlc? Bro the dlc is probably going to be the best game this year and it’s not even an entire game. I bet it’s going to be insane
@@ethanschroeder3428no, he meant enotria. Elden ring’s gonna break steam with how many players it’ll get again
@@ethanschroeder3428yes enotria will take away the dlc players 😂
They changed the date. They literally stated it'd be suicide to launch with it. Plus Enotria had that release before Elden Ring announced it, so they had no idea 😅
I haven't seen anybody else mention this, but flame art erdsteel dagger(s) absolutely shreds
Using it on a pyro build atm and yes it's pretty freaking good
Can you do this with the bandit class?
its funny how people will say "x in elden ring sucks" but you just make every weapon class look so powerful due to your insane skill level at the game, its almost unfair lol. but you really do such an amazing job at showcasing any weapons true power
honestly, most weapons in ER can be strong if built decently
it's mostly bad first impressions I feel
It’s less about skill and more the fact that any weapon/playstyle works when you upgrade/spec into it
Nah, he’s insanely good at the game, much much better than I am, but even I could make any weapon look good by simply building into its strengths.
@@FedoraFlickNickehh yea there’s that too but it’s much easier when you have every major boss memorized and very rarely get hit lol. That’s something no build can give you
It also helps that you’re able to predict and dodge almost every attack with ease, something many cannot do
Just wanted to say, watching your videos and streams has encouraged me to start trying out some challenge runs, and I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do, and keep creating the awesome videos!
What's your favorite run you've done so far? My friend group always does soft challenge runs with really vague restrictions lol
I just wanted to say

“Get smacked in the face with my blood sword” is quite the quote 😂
Funny thing is: The legendary ThePruld is actually making a bunch of (if not all) the cutscene animations for Enotria. I knew this sponsor seemed familiar.
Holy shit that alone is enough to get me interested in the game
Gino at the start of the run:"I dont think daggers are gonna be that good." At the end:"daggers are fucking broken"
Edit:I forgot the dude at the end of both sentences
The edit just adds to the comment 😅
Thats Gino at the start and end of every run. Conclusion? Gino is fucking broken.
im probably the only one out there but im really looking forward to a claw only run if u even deem 4 claws to be worth a whole run
I bet he will, since he is doing scythes and there is only 4 of those
It's hilarious how powerful they get with the usual bleed shenanigans...not sure there'd be anything new about it except using the successive atks buff maybe.
that fire giant stun was so funny because he got stunned from fall damage

You can parry the black knife assassins, both the physical attacks and the aow, if you have golden parry or carian retaliation.
I love the black knife, I did a run where I only used its ability and I absolutely destroyed the game with it and black knife tiche
So who else wants to bet that enotria will be super over shadowed by Shadow of the Erdtree since they release the same day??
I really hope people give it a chance. Since basically all the big souls streamers are pushing it so hard I feel it'll be really good.

"Madness? This is SPARTA!" as you kick him off to his death
Thats how I'm going to choose to remember it 😂
This was my first playthrough. Daggers only. After I got reduvia it was set in stone. Love daggers in this game, it's the only game where you can really make daggers work.
Over 3 hour EDITED video, you're a legend man
I like how Gino is such a pefectionist with these games that everytime he gets hit once or misses an attack he says "devastating" lol
Wakizashi was weirdly important for my first playthru, I got banished to Caelid by the chest like immediately and stumbled into the cave with my starting stonesword key and picked it up lol
When Gino dies the opponents screen shows 'god felled.'
Is there a place where you have your routes for no hit runs? I was trying to attempt one myself but it would be nice to see something I can follow at my own pace.
That giant fly made me laugh way too hard. Glory, brave fly!!
Damn this london playthrough looks mad
Twin Great Knife or Great knife/Reduvia on a Dex/Arcane build (or twin Bloodstained dagger for Str/Arc) is one of the best builds in the game. The multi-hits talismans, combined with the speed of your attacks & LoBE/SoA = huge numbers, plus super easy status procs. (The only thing that bugs me is you can't put Seppuku on a dagger, which is ridiculous but the other bleed AoW work just fine).
loBE and SoA being?

The parkour sectons make my teeth itch, if on a small platform I prefer to jump in place and then hold down circle (I'm on playstation) in the air and hold it on landing, the player character will then go into a full sprint from standing when a direction is selected and you can do immediate long jumps.
those parrys on Malenia were awesome man, great video
He really needed to lock on to dem grippers on dat golem
That Knight at Fort Haight DOES have Lord of Blood’s Exultation
hope to see no hit runs include the dlc when it comes
main build for my playthrough was buckler shield, mescord w/bloody slash and the assassin's charm for regen. loved it no matter how weak it is comparatively
Alternae title:Elden ring but im british
I can barely get through a lot of these fights while TRYING my best, and here you are fing around in your menu, dancing around the bosses like you're walking in the park...
I did this around summer time last year, and its not as bad as you think. Elden Ring was my first souls like, but immediately i picked up daggers as soon as i saw them. For one, horse back combat is impossible, so most knights cavalry bosses were done on foot. Dragons were also the same way. Second the attack speed of the daggers and the talismans that give you consecutive hits are amazing. Blood loss occurs every like 2-5 combo attacks depending on resistances, your own stats in arcane, and what weapons you use. Rot and poison are stackable and really easy to afflict on an opponent. Theres not real weapon for frost or death, but regardless, it still strong cause of the blights that are available. Third, you absolutely have to be in the enemies face. Theres no if ands or buts about it, but at the same time, most daggers that arent special have quickstep, which is a roll that is replaced with a slide and lefts you even do a semicircle around an opponent, making you very agile and can even pull of the nastiest backstabs sometimes. For me, my primaries were the Bloodstained Dagger in my main hand (this can be farmed as early as Weeping pen. by killing the large Demi Human resting on the bridge to the left of the Demi human forest.) And some fist weapons (for enemies that are slash/pierce resistant), and in my secondary hand, id have both Reduvia, for blood loss, or the Scorpion Stinger, for rot in the secondary hot bars. I actually capitalized on the usefulness of the daggers because I used the Black Whetstone on the Bloodstained Dagger to make it so that it scaled with Arcane, and so that it not only applies natural Blood loss, but Poison too. So basically Right hand was BSD, and left hand was either Red. or S.Sting. Theres also a ton of other daggers i used but these just seemed great for statuses and such. I had a blast with the daggers. They definitely do a bunch of damage but it for sure sacrifices being at a safe distance. It also really teaches you to learn the enemies moves since you arent gonna be able to gain distance on them fast enough. 10/10 would recommend.
I started the convergence mod yesterday as a blood initiate. So I went to grab the reduvia... and I noticed in convergence, it does STRAIGHT fire damage... like bloodflame... that mod is so friggin awesome man... and anybody who hasn't played it yet. I suggest they do... it's simple to install too... if I can do it, ANYBODY can
3 hour gino video? christmas has come early!
Incredibly fun watch. The way you eke out just that smallest little bit more damage than Everyone else who plays this game , makes all the difference
Ducking under attacks other people would dodge. Or just tank
Beautiful

I've also noticed the bile titan issue. I thought I noticed it on extreme (level 6) they ate an entire railgun to the face.
daggers are really OP in pvp, right up there with fists/claws.
Me: you can't stun a dragon.
Gino: oh yes I can.
Kenneth saying this is madness before being kicked off to his death is funny
Did the glintblade phalanx AoW get nerfed since this vid? The staggers don't happen for me.
Are u charging it fully?
Every time someone has told me something, at least as a generalized class of things, is useless in Elden Ring, me and my buddy have done a challenge run in seamless coop to test it. We heard fist weapons were bad, and we glitched into Leyndell at like lv56 and killed Morgott sub 60. We heard throwable items are bad, and recognizing that they definitely don't do enough damage for some bosses we decided to use bows and crossbows as well since they're gated by max ammo amounts. They're not as good as fists, but they work real good. Every time we go back to our standard dex arcane bleed and pure mage builds, we realize there's something about doing challenge runs.
Blade of Calling is my favorite dagger. The knockdown is hilarious!
this is the second video i watched from this guy and when he attacked ranni to test hits... that made me do a deeply disturbed face. Fun vid tho will do a dagger run too
I used Reduvia for most of a playthrough, then Great knife with Endure and Frost/Innate Bleed W/ Reduvia, tanking with daggers at light load is amazing
I used daggers on my first play through. Very effective, however they don't stagger enemies often so I ended up switching to double pole arms and they were much easier to use
Enotria really made such a choice putting their release date on the same day of Shadow of the Erdtree.
My favorite DS3 weapons are Hollow Slayer, Lothric SS (Baller Swag Sword vibes), carthus curved, Nameless King Swordspear, Millwood Axe and like in every From game, Claymore, butcher knife and Black Knight weapons. FUGS and Profaned UGS are fun too and most of the dlc weapons were great. Such an awesome game and has my favorite fashion in it.
we need an infinite stamina flask, that would really kick off dual dagger builds because the huge bottleneck for them is the stamina
