been loving the pots in pvp the thing is the rope pots were good in darks souls 3. I think their ok in ER but the fact that you have to farm string is a turn off for me string should be buyable I'm just saying. i hope in a dlc they make it so you can buy all crafting materials at least up to uncommon cause i already spend too much time on those darn arteria leafs.
A very interesting side node about freezing pot: according to the Fextralife wiki the frost build up per freezing pot is 380, but Malenia's frost resistance is around 300-310 This means that any one single throw will frostbite her, what is important about that is when she got frostbitten, the frost damage will knock her out of ANY animation. So you could use this to interrupt the crazy waterfowl dance move of her when she jumps to the air and you can CANCEL IT UPFRONT. And also the amount of that frostbite buildup is seemingly not scaling with anything so this probably means it works with any build. I saw this in ONGBAL's video the other day I am absolutely astonished by it: th-cam.com/video/cQvMjDC8Hjk/w-d-xo.html
very few ppl know this, ur mimic use ani type of consumables you have equiped so i have 4 of the perfumes that give a buble and so the mimic will use of them and give me another buble apart from the flask one, this wont consume the items u have equiped
Yeah that is true equip the pots and the perfumes and if you use the mimic he will use them but they won't be used from your inventory he gets his own stash upon summon.
Pots are great. Rot Pots are my go to way to kill those Ancient Dragon in Farum Azula. One or two are usually enough inflict them with Scarlet Rot. Sleep Pots are also great especially against the Godskin Duo. One Pot ( if they don't walk out of the sleep cloud immediatelly) and its good night. Fire Pots and its cousins are also a nice mid range option for Strenght Builds.
I love using the Volcano and Freezing Pots. I'm running a strength/intelligence build with Cold Weapons, so having an awesome source of fire damage is always good to have on hand. They're also really good against groups of enemies like the shield slimes.
Literally, as a player of most of the games they have produced it's crazy how the consumable, throwing pots and perfumes are just op in the right hands.
This is awesome, I had no idea there was scaling on these. I've been using an arcane build on my second character and have been having a blast with the serpent bow as a ranged option for combat. Now that I know I can trigger effects that scale off my arcane with pots there going to be regular in my build. As always great content guys!
Yup! It’s extremely great for non-caster Arcane builds. You still get tons of ranged options. Additionally, there are the Poisoned Stone Clump which can be bought from one of the Caelid merchants. You throw a shotgun of poisoned stones which has a very high chance of poisoning if they all hit. You can keep Poisonbone Darts on you along with the bow stuff you mentioned. Great options!
pots and arrows and bolts are amazing tools if you're running a more normal build like full dex or full strength or str/dex build, it just makes things so much more manageable. arguably i feel like if you're not using consumables if you're playing a more keen/heavy/quality build you're shooting yourself in the foot making things harder than it needs to be. but with that said, farming for consumables isn't the most fun thing so i understand why you wouldn't want to put your time into it, but a lot of it you just pick up as you go anyways.
something worth noting - in the video, it's rightly mentioned that holy pots are extremely strong against the skeletons. what's a bit less obvious, though, is that holy pots also OBLITERATE deathbirds, especially if you've put some points in faith. i personally find them to be erratic and hard to read, but throwing holy water pots does massive damage at very low risk, and it doesn't require the intelligence investment of the litany of proper death/order's blade incantations. making a batch of these and hunting down deathbirds early is a pretty powerful game path. pots are incredibly powerful, and i'm glad they're getting some recognition.
I recently started leveling intelligence so I am going to replace my latern item shortcut with a pot. I am trying out the oil pot since it works well with fire spells/buffs. Nothing says nice like 2000 points of free damage, but it doesn't always work. I think it is an environmental thing where water or rain doesn't allow ignite with oil.
Riiiight. Cuz thats where we re gonna draw the line on realism. 😆 🤣 dragons? Sure. Giant snake man bosses? Sure. Fire burning in the rain? Hell no! What are you crazy??
@@darthj_der7447 There is a weird affinity for realistic PHYSICS that gamers have as opposed to realism. Dragons = ok, as long as the PHYSICS of their flight don't look bad.
The problem is, a lot of people really despise farming mats. Rather find character-building ways to accomplish the same results as whatever pot then waste good gaming time farming mats.
its worth adding that Rot Pots inflict a more powerful version of Scarlet Rot, (same as the incantations and ash summons). it's almost double the damage per second compared to Scarlet Rot inflicted by weapon procs. The Fetid Pot inflicts a stronger version of Poison, called Deadly Poison, but weirdly VERY slightly weaker than Deadly Poison from the other two sources of Deadly Poison: The Serpentbone Blade and Venomous Fang weapons. The best Poison in the game is definitely the Poison Spraymist perfume, which does more damage than even regular Deadly Poison. It does more damage than basic Scarlet Rot, but still does less than the more powerful Scarlet Rot that comes from Incantations, Rot Pots and Finlay/Stray Ashes.
I'll be honest I didn't use consumables much in my first play through because I was doing a faith build and that has enough utilities baked in to cover pretty much whatever you need. My second (and current) playthrough I decided I wanted to do a Castlevania Belmont kind of build and I decided that throwing pots, knives, and other items fit really well (it's like the heart items) and I have actually been pretty surprised by there effectiveness.
I wish holy was more useful like back in dark souls 1. Being able to kill skeletons just by hitting them one more time while down makes them barely a threat at all with no holy. There's the tiny rare exception of the actual ones that have a summoner but again super rare.
I’m doing a all holy dmg run and besides incantations, spells and talismans. There are quite a few powerful shields and weapons that do holy damage animations that wreck. I’ve seen some “Paladin” builds but then end up being impatient and use other spells. The rot knights scythe does a ton of dmg and is another weapon that can exploit bosses thru the yellow shield. People only have shown gravity spell spam but the rot knight holy disc spam does great dmg.
@@DisgruntledDisabledCombat_Vet I did a Paladin build, and its a blast and fairly strong, I just mean the specific holy damage against undead thing being sort of useless. It just saves you one extra hit aside from the rare exception of the necromancer ones.
I was planning to spend a day just making and farming ingredients for pots n potions. This video was the first thing that popped up even though I never said anything or attempted a search. Weird.
I've come to enjoy pots and I love doing taunter ganks where I come out of mimic with piercing fang with nightrider's halberd, do half their health and spook them into a panic roll away. Which leaves me open to land a "flask negating" pot
I've been curious about them since I got my first, those things are insane. As a faith / arcane build using mostly rogiers rapier, I feel they are almost mandatory vs. certain mobs. Farming crafting materals is so easy in this game, not using them is just ... missing out on save damage :D
I literally just made a video on this yesterday! Frost Pot, Rot Pot, and Fetid Pot are the real stars of the show here for those having trouble with bosses. Stack all 3. I also speak on perfumes which are CRIMINALLY ignored.
Ancestor's infant head's a pretty good attack item, too. Magic elemental magma pools And another power of the pots? If they're in your hot bar, your mimic can also use them. And Beastlure pots. You know those rooms that would be easy, if only it wasn't for those damn dogs? Or rats? Throw this in a corner and they'll ignore you. It's like they wanted to keep the "magic comes from artifacts" of bloodborne, so the non mages can still have some.
I do like pots but some of the stuff is so irritating to farm I just choose not to bother. They need to add a bell-bearing Hunter for mushrooms at the very least. I guess a poop one would be good too. Jarburg takes care of all the common flowers at least
After watched so many Elden Ring runs, I asked myself what is the next things people use to beat Elden Ring, and the thing pop in my mind is "Can you beat Elden Ring with only items?" And now this video pop up :D
Thing about the fire barrels though - I just use fire arrows. Less "valuable" than pots in my opinion and they get the job done just as easily. However, there was a lot of new information here that I didn't know and now glad I do know
I think alot of us should use the freezing pots for bosses and pvp that extra damage is nice I was wondering how to get a consistent freeze without having to change up my weapons
Freezing pots (and perhaps some other pots as well) can knock out Malenia out of her signature move. Like, she starts floating in the air before that sword strikes hell, throw a freezing pot, she's in the regular fight again. The easiest way to “perfectly dodge” that ))
Fun fact, there are a multitude of craft able items your mimic tear will use like those broken perfumes and pots if the are equipped in your quick slots. Combining this with the prayerful strike ash of war setting it to a neutral AR, and putting something like sleep or scarlet rot coating in your inventory, would give you a buffing, status effect applying healing mimic tear.
I love using the pots in Elden Ring, but get kinda annoyed by the few that give you the status effect as you throw them... fetid pot, cursed blood, etc. I avoid those ones at all cost lol
100% using these on my mage build. I dont wanna raise my faith or Arcane to get the fire spells so I'm just gonna use these for specific weaknesses to certain elements.
I’m with y’all on this one. I’m not sure why more people don’t use pots. It’s literally another weapon you can use that has so equip load and you can make a infinite amount of you have the resources. Pots and darts are good I use them both on bosses I need a little extra help on
They can actually be farmed from Cleanrot Knights in Both Caelid and the Haligtree. The drop rate is pretty low but you can farm them nonetheless, I ended up with ~250 as by-product just farming the knights for their armor and weapons
@@vonhellman yeah, it’d be kinda a neat feature if there was a really expensive/quest way to respawn all the crafting only ingredients. Not the quest specific stuff like the grave glovewart or whatever, but just the crafting stuff. But I guess that’s what NG+ is for
I wish the Fire Pots were a little more effect. Once you hit Mid-Game, they essentially become useless. Even in the rare instances you can use them against an enemy's weakness to fire, it's almost always better just to add Fire Damage to your weapon. It's a shame really.
Ur joking right? I have like 40 strength and 33 dex on my physical character and the fire pots do like a little over 600 damage, you can get like 1000 damage off If u combine the oil and fire pot
@@theedethproof8147 True. Or instead of switching to a consumable and going through the process of crafting it beforehand, you use a Greatsword and deal 700 damage with each strike. Late game at around 60 Strength, Dual Colossal Swords deals 1700 damage with a jump attack (this is before the recent patch which buffed them more) Pots are still a nice little bit of damage, but their usefulness drops severely.
@@theedethproof8147 If it's a non-boss enemy then perhaps. If it's a boss, then the gap will close rapidly and you're close range anyhow. If it's a tactic you like to use then that's fine, but the process of making distance, throwing the pre-crafted pots, letting it do its splash damage, then being put back in melee with the boss would've been better spent just staying in melee and getting another if not 2 extra hits in while dodging. I'm not saying they're unusable by any means. They're just not optimal... at least in my experience.
@@SharkyShocker yeah I don't know, it depends on the situation and how you wanna play I guess. I've already decided I plan on doing a litter playthrough with just pots a throwables, I think it'll be fun hah
Honestly I do use pots time from time. However the only reason I don’t use them is because of 2 things. Accuracy and unknown status AMOUNT build up. For example. With a poison or rot arrow. I know what I’m dealing in term of status build up. With pots I don’t
IM 130 hours into this game and only JUST NOW know that it doesn’t *consume* the pot, just the ingredients, picking up “pots” is like adding inventory slots for pots! I never made any pots because I thought I only had like 5 or 6 in the whole damn game. 😂😭😭😭
Quick question does the pot helmet and charm increase the effect of the pots or just the damage like will the bleed build up faster or just increase the damage of the pot's attack
Don’t try this on an agile enemy though, as they will just continuously dodge every attempt you make. This really doesn’t work on very hard enemies, more so the slow and bigger enemies such as the giants you chose you display in video.
Not entirely true. You can free-aim and throw them at the ground to still hit an enemy, you don't need to be locked on. And you can also bait almost any fast enemy (all the ones I've seen) into committing to an animation, and then throwing the bomb afterwards.
You know, I kind of like that pots have scaling and that presumably makes them viable for damage dealing. On the other hand, their scaling is standard scaling for what it would be with their element. So they end up being a bit redundant. But maybe I'm looking at it wrong.
Makes a "level everything equally" character super powerful with every element and status, though. Especially since you can just craft more as soon as a fight ends, rather than having to rest for more cerulean flasks and respawning everything.
The annoying part of crafting these is that the rare ingredients in the wild don't respawn, eg aeonia butterflies and Trina's lilly, you'll have to farm mobs that drop them

If it's a tactic you like to use then that's fine, but the process of making distance, throwing the pre-crafted pots, letting it do its splash damage, then being put back in melee with the boss would've been better spent just staying in melee and getting another if not 2 extra hits in while dodging.
I'm not saying they're unusable by any means. They're just not optimal... at least in my experience.
@@SharkyShocker yeah I don't know, it depends on the situation and how you wanna play I guess. I've already decided I plan on doing a litter playthrough with just pots a throwables, I think it'll be fun hah
Thank you so much this makes it even more fun
Please do a video on great runes and which is the best
Nice video. Thanks for the info
Honestly I do use pots time from time. However the only reason I don’t use them is because of 2 things. Accuracy and unknown status AMOUNT build up. For example. With a poison or rot arrow. I know what I’m dealing in term of status build up. With pots I don’t
IM 130 hours into this game and only JUST NOW know that it doesn’t *consume* the pot, just the ingredients, picking up “pots” is like adding inventory slots for pots! I never made any pots because I thought I only had like 5 or 6 in the whole damn game. 😂😭😭😭
I don’t understand the pot system, when I use a pot, do I lose it forever?
shame the pot part of the quest bugged out for me and hes stuck at the rodahn fight area even after breaking him free with oil
I recently saw ur life-sapping Malenia build, and I was curious if you had any recommendations for an arcane Morgott build.
Can you reuse pots? I can't seem to make more pots when I run out.
I wish after you "cleared" a area you got a bell with the resources to buy them.
7:08 AI's do not have stamina bars.. this only is in pvp (they do however have posture that can break but not be freezing them)
Quick question does the pot helmet and charm increase the effect of the pots or just the damage like will the bleed build up faster or just increase the damage of the pot's attack
Where can I find the scarlet rot pot recipe?
Which cooking book gives the frozen pot?
The reacurring fire damage pot is insane
I just made 5 sleep pots. Then I found out there are only 20 cracked pots scattered around the map! WTF
video should of included grease, iv always wondered what the dragon wound grease does.
so do i get the 1 hit frost bite even without the jar helmet and companion talisman?
I've been using pots from the start. I made a quality build on my first playthrough so I can't use any magic. These pots are great substitutes
Don’t try this on an agile enemy though, as they will just continuously dodge every attempt you make. This really doesn’t work on very hard enemies, more so the slow and bigger enemies such as the giants you chose you display in video.
Not entirely true. You can free-aim and throw them at the ground to still hit an enemy, you don't need to be locked on. And you can also bait almost any fast enemy (all the ones I've seen) into committing to an animation, and then throwing the bomb afterwards.
Holy hell, that's a lot of pots.
Ok, but how to get old fang quick?
Can you reuse the pots tho after crafting?
I could definitely see the utility of frost and holy pots.
i just wish there was somewhere to buy string so i wouldn’t have to farm demihumans just to make rope pots
Im not very good but pots are my go to weapons when I get stuck
Wait I had no idea Holy pots wouldn't let skeletons revive, I need all the pots now, that is so annoying to me
You know, I kind of like that pots have scaling and that presumably makes them viable for damage dealing. On the other hand, their scaling is standard scaling for what it would be with their element. So they end up being a bit redundant.
But maybe I'm looking at it wrong.
Makes a "level everything equally" character super powerful with every element and status, though.
Especially since you can just craft more as soon as a fight ends, rather than having to rest for more cerulean flasks and respawning everything.
ok, mind blown. I assumed the pots were consumed rather than governed how many you could craft..
are they better than my trusty kukri? i love that thing its sooo good
If your reading this, PSA you get the cracked pot back into your inventory after you throw it.
Those crack pots man 😂😂 always chilling outside 7-11
Literally made a hairy buff-ass dude and named him Hairy Potter. ;)
The annoying part of crafting these is that the rare ingredients in the wild don't respawn, eg aeonia butterflies and Trina's lilly, you'll have to farm mobs that drop them
