Is there an alternative to the lizards greatsword because I it won't drop for me
@@annaunderwood3562 If it won't drop See if anyone has a Base Level one who plays on same System as you Either PC or same Console and see if they'd give you one..
Do you have an updated Plague Doctor Int/Faith build?
You re the only one Im follow about OP's early. No fillers, correct information, no screaming during the video. Thanks!
Really thank you for the guide. When it comes to Ash of War Carian Sovereignty, if you buff it with the below:
1- Golden Vow
2- Howl of Shabriri
3- Seppuku
4- Terra Magica
5- Magic Tear
6- Tear of charged attacks
7- Ritual Sword Talisman
8- Lord of Blood Exultation talisman
9- Shard of Alexander talisman
10- Godfrey Talisman
I managed to deal 9,000 damage first attack and the follow up around 10,000+.
you can use bloodsucking cracked tear instead, it's better
Whats crazy is with videos like these, I’m typically skipping to what I need to see. But the amount of effort and creativity in your videos make me actually want to sit and watch first then build it. Super engaging and not over the top. Kudos to you just gained a subscriber

@@apersontonguecantellit’s in the dlc dude, the video is based ON DLC did u not read the title ☠️
Nizar is the only one who can get away with this level of crazy editing. I usually hate it but I love his vids haha
Just when I thought I was done with ER for this time, Nizar pulls me back in
I remember watching your early Elden ring builds, they were so fun and good to use. So once the dlc dropped I spent an hour trying to find your account since it’s been a year. And glad I could find it keep up the work man 💯
WARNING: if you book it straight past Bonny Village, or approach the shadow castle, you'll set off an ingame event that lurches NPC quests forward. It's an invisible line you cross. So. If you don't intend to do that, don't head straight there.
Can we get to Ymir and the Carian Sovereignity without trigerring that quest progress?
@@adamlantos2319No. you have to progress quest lines to a certain stage before going for this or it will lock you out of some rewards and summons and such
@@tipiilegends5482do you know all the stuff it locks you out of bro?
MINOR SPOILERS: It says "A great rune has broken" or something along those lines so just look up what to do before this. It's nothing too major but a PSA in the video would have been nice.
Probably haven't said it enough, but I use your vids for almost every game I play.
Thx for all the work. You are a master craftsman, and I enjoy borrowing your tools.
I think a point-blank shot from Impenetrable Thorns is the most damaging sorcery in the game now that comet azure has been nerfed
Yeah , I’m thinking about using the new staff and probably making that my only spell , and use the lizard sword/moonveil
Thorns is better but don't sleep on crystal torrent
@@kewlazzname oh no I’m not lol my only issue with that is the cast time , doesn’t it leave you kinda vulnerable
@@HailDarkseidyes but thats why it has good range as well
The shadow lizard wizard cracked me up. Love it!
Love the progression from the main game builds into the dlc, especially from a lore perspective for your original characters 🔥
You're editing skill has had ridiculous growth since I started watching your videos. A true feast for my eyeballs.
Excellent narration and structure, really appreciate the video and editing .
Thank you for no DLC spoilers - I'm currently just getting around to playing it using your Frenzy Madness build! :D The best builds by far man keep it up!
This is by far the greatest battle mage set up explanation video I’ve seen 🔥
You make the best build guides...Please never stop. Thanks for all your hard work.
3:24 I have a theory. I think they nerfed the hoarfrost stomp into the ground so hard…(you could even say they “stomped” it into the ground)was because they didn’t want the hoarfrost stomp and the divine beast frost stomp to be identical 🙃
Agreed it seems off
For FP regen, you can now craft a Lulling Branch (from cookbook after beating one of the bosses). Pro: it regenerates 150 FP pretty fast.
Con: Slowly builds sleep. Depending on how high your Focus is, it'll probably induce sleep on you. Counter this with either armor that has a high focus rating, or the Clarifying Horn Charm (a +2 version is in the DLC) talisman.
From which boss does it drops mate, i cant find it
@@kris_k3436 after beating the Putrecent Knight, the cookbook is on the ground to the right of St. Trina
Unfortunately, carian sovereignty got a shadow nerf with the latest calibration patch. You no longer get hyperarmor during the charge with greatswords. It still does insane damage and can poise through small hits
Nice 👌👍 Thx for ur time on Elden Ring builds !
Oh thank God 🙏 I've been struggling as an Int player and don't know where to look
His other build based on night magic is not bad either. Super simple but it works. Ive actually been taking down dlc bosses with just night shard and night comet
Thank you for making these videos. Elden ring is so massive its impossible to find out all these combinations out myself. I will try out this build.
Thats some good video editing bro , and the mage build help is awesome !!!!
Thanks so much for updating this series! Best Mage guide on the web!
“Lizard wizard” had me dying bro 🤣
If you go pure frost/cold/storm, you could be The Great Lizard - Blizzard Wizard”
oohhh what perfect timing. Was just about to make a mage build. You rock Nizar!!
Finally the lizzard sword has been aknowledged for all its glory.
Nizar GG does great videos, but had a random thought
"He should make DLC versions of his get OP early builds for each class"
Just sounds like something fun, A build that goes from early game to Mid/Late game then finally goes to DLC
I can't wait to see Rellanas Twinblade. It looks like a great weapon
Honestly, I've searched for days for this video to drop! Thank you!!
Great editing.
lol I typed in “int build Elden ring playthrough “. Now im here 😂but im glad because your an aggressive sourcer , so it can be done thank you. Good video
Hey man your builds kick ass. Used multiple of them in the base game. Thanks
Hmm didn’t think about lizard gs with carian sovereignty, nice job with being thorough in your explanations! Will def be copying this ❤
Your videos are always the best! I am so entertained!
With Vanishing Spell at 6:34 if you move around while using it you pretty much teleport (it is short distance but still). It has some potential.
I'm a bit sad your accent is gone but your english pronunciation has improved so much. And your vids are amazing as always
Warning for people who haven’t done the DLC: going for this will trigger a point of no return event. It will advance NPC quests and you’ll miss out on unique items, so be careful.
Shit… 😂
Or going to the castle too😢
Just picking it up? You can get to it without progressing anything
I had a Int/Fait build that I brought into the dlc and I say the new death, finger and spiral spells along with that staff that allows you to cast both sorcerer and incant was a fantastic addition
amaaazing video. Helped me a lot. I was so confused, thank you! Liked and subbed!
As always amazing content 🔥 💪🏽 intelligence build got some really awesome spells this DLC. Love the thorns and putrescence spells
🎉Just legendary video, the editing is perfect, love that Halloween styled fonts! And most importantly the build itself is fun and well rounded. Also recommend adding the new ghost flame ash of war to the build~
Need a build to beat the final boss. Been following your mage guides since you made the 3 pt series. I’m stuck I’m on like 120 attempts 😢
Not first, but not last...
Correct
Shut up
But the best.
The jones effect
“If you ain’t first, you’re last.”
I didn’t know that weapon was in the game until he said “lizard, great sword”
Just started playing Elden ring last week. After watching this, I’m regretting making my basic Dex Samurai. Only weapon i use is a +4 Ugikatana 🙃
Awesome video, it will be great if you make a video guide with thath build until you enter the dlc
I love you man thank you for every build
Wow these AoE spells are exactly what I wanted from a mage build. CC is a must for a squishy mage.
Love the editing, might try the build even if I'm a big sword goes bonk kind of guy...that bleed spell and the big sword aow look amazing
Ahh yes, time for my favorite build creator to begin cooking 🥘
amazing stuff as always
Base sorceries are so strong, they don’t need an upgrade. I was lvl 130 mage and I flew through the dlc.
I'm starting the dlc with (my only character) lvl 160 but on ng+4 or 5, it's been a long time since ce I played i don't remember how many I did. And yeah, it's not convenient lmao base game spells not cutting it for me
Vanishing isn't a troll spell. You can chain cast other spells with it so when you appear, the spell just casts. Its not for defense like bhs. Its for attack. You can increase the casting speed with talismans.
Ill try it out
I feel night comet still wrecks. It hasn’t let me down yet, and between meteor astel and azure most of the bosses got ripped through ❤
I ran through the entire dlc at level 136 and 3 runes slots as an int build. I probably couldn't have done it if I wasn't a caster. Shard spiral for the MVP.
What spell do you recommend for final boss of the dlc?
@alexanderhauge2636 : There's no easy way around radahn, especially in his second phase. I did it by using comet and shard spiral charging the comet when I had an actual openings. Lhutel the Headless is my go-to summon for this fight. Lhutel will consistently teleport to break agro and then re-engage with range attacks. This can sometimes get Radahn to run across the map to engage the summon, that when you charge the commet to land heavy hits. Lhutel can survive the entire fight provided you share in the agro. There's no cheesing this fight as a caster. Optimize for spell dmg for build. Talismans: blue scorpion charm,Godfrey icon, and Beloved Stardust. Weapon: Lusat's Glintstone staff (80 int is a must). Best of luck, you'll get'em.
@@daniloventura112 thanks for a very nice explanation.😀 I will try my best. Currently I am a fire Knight using the fire Knight grestsword and the game is difficult but still doable. But I must admit. The last soul game I played was sekiro and the boss battles in that game gave me more feelings of Mastering the game. In elden Ring bosses for me at least Comes Down to much luck. However the level Design Story and details are incredibly. Love this game.
Oh man I was waiting for your int build for the DLC!!! Finally I won't be squished any more, time to flatten the other side
Too bad we need to rebalance to faith in the DLC, I was hoping to stay fully int
Yay! My favorite ER Creator --- when will the dragon priest guide come out?
Your builds are effective and fun!! I was looking at the new sorceries myself and really like your insights and combos for the dlc. Loved your builds for BG3 too! #gg
You may want to say you progress npc quests far enough to miss things.
Hey man great video! Your build guides are always fun and still pretty op and the lore is chefs kiss lol. Do you think you can make a video with dry leaf arts?
It’s a very nice video man !!
Honey, wake up, new best Elden Ring dlc just dropped
I appreciate the blurring sm
Got those two staves mixed up. The Maternal staff is int/arc. The great beyond staff is int/faith.
Also, if you do decide to go int/arc for the thorns spell, the Maternal staff ends up being the best mainhand staff you can use.
The lizard impaled by the blue sword in the asf of war lmao
Yes finally someone who realizes the power of the lizard hahaha
the God of mage builds has awakened
Great vid - What's the armour set? Helmet especially
Awesome Video, bro.
Thanks never played mage but ng7 i will try it
A dragon build using bayles incantations and the dragon form would be super cool
Is the Golden Order plague doctor going to be getting an update? This DLC has so much int/faith stuff, it’s great.
Wondering about this too, the plague doctor was the build I took into the DLC, and the Death's Poker still melts, I need more!
😂 love it dude! great video !
This builds really good thank you
What a great videoL thanks a lot. I was sad with my mage of the basic game. I try out your tips. Thanks again Pro !😊
Why were you sad??? Int casters are one of the strongest builds in the base game.
@@ivanvoloder8114 Yes, i know. I mean in the DLC i have Not found same good spells and Items . You Herpes much. Thanks
@@rheinbrick4511 You herpes much??? Man you got issues.😆
Hello Nizar , really appreciate the video helped me a lot! I would like to ask what Physick Mix you use? You use the " classic " combo? (No fp cost for a certain peroid and sorcery boost )
Just completely skipped over the part at 2:20 on how to get through Moorth ruins...nice
Use Torrent. Jump off the side of the roof, then use the extra jump to the little ledge under the roof.
Wow the same outfit as mine! 😊
honestly dude your base game late game guide is still wrecking the DLC for me.. I 1 shotted rellana & dancing lion .. beat hippo with ease so far.... I do like the black orb AOE spell in place of the teal artillery bomb move. I'm trying out the defensive finger move in my arensel but so far I feel like the hammer is better. will keep testing
The lizard sword seems pretty good tbh
Nice edit btw
Ready for the Spellblade video!
Which builds are easy to change as in versatile and fun, that helps to use most weapons and spells to mess around with ? Im astrologer tho, would appreciate the guide
THE Mage is back
He says late game and that’s was legit the 4th boss I encountered, I later realized I was all over the place and almost locked myself out of everything the dlc had to offer 😅
What the starting class that you’re using?
THIS is what I have been waiting for. This…
Loved the vid and the showcase! As a lvl 713 im gonna have much fun! If i want to use both ash of war what weapon do you suggest? I already have the lizard with carian sword ash
Can’t wait to make the great katana build
Is the armor set you are using relevant for the build?
The Godfrey icon for some reason doesn't work with the new chargeable gravity spells or the divine beast ash of war, in case you are using mostly this you might want to replace it
Would like to see a new bow build with all the new different bows and talismans that we got
What spot, or technique do you use for farming runes ?
W video but bro I’ve gotten so many builds from you I really need another updated int/fth build also the maternal staff is the int/arc and the great beyond staff is int/fth
Carian Sovereignty will probably end up seeing both a damage and poise nerf. I could see the damage of the blast wave on the vertical slash (it has 2 hits, 1 for the initial slash and a second with a wave that knocks things down) being dialed down slightly and I would be surprised if we didn't see a mild reduction to the stance damage on it. 91 stance damage for the two swings is insane.
It’s already been nerfed since release
Too bad the poise is misleading on it. You can only get poise on certain weapons not all. The ash of war is actually garbage if you cant even land a hit with it and you can easily get knocked out of it, so yeah no poise
Carian sovereignty not doing much damage for me… any idea why?
@@Kemist_tree96 Probably stat spreads or talismans. Even with the most recent patch mine is still hitting for around 5k with insane poise damage
@@Th3_Raven that’s crazy… I’m only hitting 400.
Int is 80.
What talismans you wearing?
thx so much
