So weird to give the spell a long wind up to cast, just to give the skeletons a long wind up on their swing. You’d think just having one or the other be a long wind up would balance it.
@@Skumnut exactly, but I wonder how much that would improve if you weren’t giving bosses 30 straight seconds to walk out of it. Awful spell lmao The axe at least has shortened wind up, and is melee so those guys practically can’t miss unless they actively try to.
@@edwardblake8575 the cast time is way faster, and even if you get staggered the attack will continue so you can reactively trade with it. It's also easier to hit with since the enemy will be directly in front of you. I'm pretty sure it does more damage too. Really, it's just better in every way
I don't know how anyone at From could look at this spell for more than 5 seconds and think it's okay. The damage, cast speed, and the rate at which the skeletons attack all need to be increased pretty dramatically, and perhaps some sort of tracking should be added as well.
I would prefer an entire rework. Make the spell cast a cloud or portal above the enemy that follows them and causes the skeletons to come out from the bottom of the cloud and stab the target
The accuracy of this spell was insane. I can't believe it the hit the enemies each and every time without failing or missing. Truly one of the spells of all time.
Literally all the need to do to make this spell viable is to make the projectile that shoots out to determine where the skeletons spawn visible and to make the skeletons attack faster and turn while attacking to track enemies
The skeletons should start spawing as soon as the casting animation starts, not when it ENDS, and they also should attack 3 times as fast. Even then it would be shit compared to the STARTING spell, but hey
@@jooot_6850 thats absolutely not the reason he adds those useless items,armors,weapons,spells he simply dosent know how to properly balance a game thats why the games he was more involved the stuff is either worthless or completely broken and thats why in ds2 literally everything is viable.
for those wondering why the skeletons sometimes go completely off-course, sometimes get stuck on objects, and almost always prompts the boss or enemy to dodge it, it's because of how the spell is designed. Due to machinations unknowable to even Michael Zaki himself, the spell actually has two components. Instead of spawning the skeletons on whatever you're locked, it spawns an invisible projectile that spawns the skeletons when and where it expires, i.e. when the projectile either hits a wall, hits an enemy, or uses up its lifespan. The skeletons sometimes go off-course because there's a limited angle based on the player character where projectiles are allowed to emit from, like a 'cone'. No projectile can face a direction outside of this cone. This normally isn't an issue when locked-onto an enemy and using literally any other projectile emitter as your character can turn to face them even mid-cast. However, Tibia's Summons locks your character's direction and subsequently cone through the entire duration of its cast, so if you lock onto an enemy and it moves out of your cone, when you finish casting the spell the invisible projectile tries to spawn outside of the cone, but is forced to spawn inside the cone instead and end up hitting either a wall or despawning in the sky causing the skeletons to spawn in the middle of nowhere. The reason why bosses almost always tries to dodge the spell whenever the skeletons appear is because of the same reason. The invisible projectile hits the boss, flipping a switch in the AI to either prompt it to dodge or get aggressive and counterattack. Then the skeletons spawn, but by the time they do anything the boss has either tried to dodge the invisible projectile or rapidly approaching your location.
To make Tibia's summons decent, you need the Prince of death's staff (boosts death sorceries), get your dex to 30 and wear the Radagon icon talisman (this puts you at max cast speed). For bosses that input read, you can try throwing a dagger to trigger dodge animation, then cast....with dex at 70 (or dex at 30 and Radigon icon) you may hit them with full spell.
You could also have Azur's Staff in your offhand so no dex investment is needed. Although tbh you kinda need to have 80/80 on PoD because of how backloaded it is. Carian Regal would just produce better results if you were only at like 80 Int
@@LowTierVergil Tibia's summons is definitely best in NG+......with enough levels in int/faith, prince of death staff becomes the highest scaling.....2 of them ends up with a boost of over 20% (one boosts 10%, then that gets boosted by the other for 10%....ends up being more than a flat 20%). I actually like Tibia's summons, when paired with something like ancient rancor
If you have to do all that to make the spell even viable, then it is dog shit. Using the prince of death staff with 80 80 isn’t unique to tibias summons. It just becomes the best staff in the game. Literally every other sorcery also becomes better, and are still better than Tibias Summons. And if you mean just use it without 80 80, then yeah no. Why would you boost tibias summons by 10% when you could just use any other sorcery, and you’re sure as hell not using the staff in your main hand until you’re at least 55 55. Furthermore you’re incorrect about casting speed. Radagon icon gives 30 virtual dex, not 40. Azurs staff gives 40.
@@Nachtmar3 I didn't say it was good. But I also didn't say anything about maxing out int/faith either. You only need to hold the Prince of Death staff in your off hand for the boost (yes, you get more with 2 of them in NG+). I was only talking about how to make it decent. I have done play throughs using only death spells, and have one shot many things with Tibia's summons, and it is also very good for pulling aggro or thinning out trash mobs before fighting something larger. Not every spell needs to be OP to be usable or viable in some way. As for Radigon's icon, yes I reversed the numbers, you need 40 dex plus the icon's artificial 30 for max cast
The weird behaviour of this spell makes more sense when you realise that internally it is shooting an extremely fast invisible projectile and then summoning the skeletons at the location that hits. Which if you're locked onto an enemy _should_ be the enemy, but something could get in the way. And of course after the skeletons are summoned they don't track whatsoever, but that much is obvious.
Imagine how cracked this spell would be if it literally just summoned random NPC skeleton buddies to follow you around, then you can have as many as you can cast All sorts of weapons too so bosses can't just AOE strike to kill them all, no they have archers to worry about sometimes
There are a few spells which I think are worse than Tibia's (which is hard to believe after watching Skum's video). Freezing Mist is a spell from Seluvis and 'can' be useful at times, but for many bosses it can be tricky to keep the boss to stay in the mist. I remember NapstarF using it in a sorcery relay run against Rykard and you would think that it would be ideal for this boss (and that the lava would nicely reset the frost constantly). But it was pure pain (and agony), boss fight took over 20 minutes with this as far as I remember. Also, the spell doesn't do anything else than frost buildup, so you can not kill the Elden Beast with it. Briar's of Sin is a sorcery which causes bleed buildup. Yes, bleed is OP in Elden Ring. But remember that both the statue and the big fish in the tree won't bleed, so beating Elden Ring with this spell is maybe impossible if you can not get infinite FP in some way (because the spell also deals a little bit of magic damage as well). Worst spell of all: Fia's Mist. This spell is basically useless in PVE, because all enemies are immune to Death Blight (and I rarely see someone using it in PVP either).
Imo because the purpose of Candlelight is visual and not damage, I wouldn't count it here. Meanwhile, Tibia Summons is specifically meant for damage, nothing else, and is the absolute worst spell at executing its purpose
Starlight at least has some use rp use for lighting up areas, even though a torch does the job better, it's essentially a fashion item. I'd say it's not the worst sorcery because it actually does what it's meant to do. Tibia summons on the other hand...
2:40 my man did NOT just diss boulder heave, at least that shit can hit and it does good damage. I mean how else are you supposed to kill Midir as a pyro? Great video tho x)
Its not so much missing, the spell hits exactly where you cast it at. The problem seems to be that the spell takes so long to take effect that whatever you cast it at has plenty time to move. in other words this is one of those spells that you must aim where the target WILL be instead of where it is. Though i have no idea if thats at all viable in this game, since everything moves so fast.
The weapon art seems to have that advantage. Once you activate the art, no matter what happens to your character, the skeletons will appear. So very often in either PvP or PvE, I'd take the hit, go flying, but the skeletons would appear where I was to deal nasty damage on my target.
Funny thing is in convergence it is actually the first and the best spell for the necromancer until you get to the last half of the game. They fixed it well and it feels good not shitty with the only changes being casting speed and it casts more like glintstone shard. Not a staff slam.
My second playthrough ever was a necromancer archer, and i was so excited to use this spell because i thought it would summon actual skeletons to fight for you for a short time Needless to say, my disappointment was unfathomable. Honestly it was the Ashes of War that saved that run for me. I was shocked at how unexplored the death sorceries were
They could easily make this spell actually work if the skeletons slid across the ground auto aiming on the target. Also just make it so 4 of them spawn all around the target so the only way to avoid it is with i-frames.
Skumnut is now my favorite youtuber... because he's the only one who's both an intelligent life form, and fights Mimic Tear legit. Others are too afraid to face themselves, but he's ready, every time.

As much as I love and appreciate the amazing games that fromsoft creates, you can sometimes tell they don't play their own game. Designer devs not being well versed in the game results in shit like tibia's summons existing, and the weird bullshit that is trying to make a split int/fth build for either death sorceries or golden order incantations. Golden order seal does good damage at 40/40, while prince of death's staff at 40/40 is trash. Why? What does that add to the game? Anyone who wants to use death sorceries can't get good dmg out of the STAFF MADE FOR CASTING THEM until you're above 70/70 int/fth? Like who comes up with these asinine ideas when all in all the game is still incredible? The answer is: The devs do not play their own game. And whoever they hired for QA clearly doesn't have a good understanding of weapons, damage, scalings and other combat mechanics. Because if they did, shit like prince of death's staff, devourer's scepter, varre's bouquet, and many more weapons would actually make sense XD
Damn dog 4 times on that same build? It sounds like it must at least be fun to play. I've been theory-crafting an int/arc run, Albanuric staff and occult/blood claymans harpoon, briar and bubble sorceries,maybe frost too.
Tibia Summons would be a totally functional spell if they were summoned surrounding the targeted enemy's current position to a certain range (like 3x longer than the current range lmao) instead of needing to stand right in front of something and eat damage just to get the spell off. Or really it could work A LOT of other ways that summon skeletons to run up and try to hit something, but the current version is not it. It is absolutely baffling that they make these kinds of spells that are next to impossible to use and are massively outclassed by many other spells, especially in a spell group that has so few spells already. Just make it a good ****ing spell, what's stopping them! A ton of incantations too are very difficult to use, or have been nerfed so that they're outclassed by lesser versions, or even after being buffed are still functionally useless.
thanks for making long videos i love it like a whole journey even tho i beat all these games so many times over these challenges make me want to go back to all these great fromsoft games
My current theory is that, instead of just spawning where you're locked on, it sends an invisible spell orb or something of the ilk, and the first thing it touches gets boned.
You’re the only Elden Ring player I respect because of your character creation. I feel like you’re the only one that really *gets* character creation’s true purpose. Thank You for your authentic greatness in this regard.
There are a lot of spells that unintuitively are spawned by invisible projectiles, and if those invisible projectiles are blocked by geometry or another enemy then that's where the spell with appear. Tibia summons is one of those spells.
I don’t know what I did wrong with sorcery, but like a third of the way through my magic play-through the damage was dropping off and I just became a melee user scaling off of intelligence and used like 0 spells until the end of the game.
Fun fact(s): The spell has long range, but it also casts an invisible line to the enemy so it knows where to place the attack, which means it can be blocked by objects and terrain, and it can straight up just miss the boss hitbox sometimes too, in case the spell needed to be any worse of course. Oh yeah! And do you know how enemies won't dodge night sorceries? Technically this spell also is supposed to bypass dodge detections, but they forgot to apply it to the hidden casting line, so technically the enemies dodging it aren't even dodging the spell itself, they are dodging the line!
I'm surprised you never went for the Azur's Glintstone Staff and went for increasing your intelligence/damage as that staff also increases your casting speed and stacks with the Radagon Icon (and is slightly faster). Using both would've given you the fastest possible casting speed.

And whoever they hired for QA clearly doesn't have a good understanding of weapons, damage, scalings and other combat mechanics. Because if they did, shit like prince of death's staff, devourer's scepter, varre's bouquet, and many more weapons would actually make sense XD
The guy at 39:22 I can only say he looks like one of the people from demonslayer who forge the swords for the demon slayers but wearing a sombrero
oh god the intro where you didn't even hit godfrey once just hurts me in ways I never thought possible. You are a true champion!
Should've named it "can I beat elden ring by boning everything?"
It sucks cuz I'm going with a death build and this spell fits
as someone whose beaten the game 4 separate times using exclusively the oracular bubble sorceries, i would never even attempt a tibia summons run.
Damn dog 4 times on that same build? It sounds like it must at least be fun to play.
I've been theory-crafting an int/arc run, Albanuric staff and occult/blood claymans harpoon, briar and bubble sorceries,maybe frost too.
@@whitekony1006 brair are fun with the thorn staff and albrich's armor.
bubbles are fun because they are deceptively strong, and have alright stagger.
Tibia summons is the epitome of free aim magic.
As someone who did a necromancer build, you HAVE to free aim it where you think they will go.
Not even Tibia’s Summons can stop the climb, god damn
"I fear the man who has practiced 1 move 1000 times...except this guy, he sucks"
Thank god someone is coming out with fresh content to keep me from hollowing
he uploaded when i was seeking a video to watch while eating thanks skum
Tibia Summons would be a totally functional spell if they were summoned surrounding the targeted enemy's current position to a certain range (like 3x longer than the current range lmao) instead of needing to stand right in front of something and eat damage just to get the spell off. Or really it could work A LOT of other ways that summon skeletons to run up and try to hit something, but the current version is not it.
It is absolutely baffling that they make these kinds of spells that are next to impossible to use and are massively outclassed by many other spells, especially in a spell group that has so few spells already. Just make it a good ****ing spell, what's stopping them! A ton of incantations too are very difficult to use, or have been nerfed so that they're outclassed by lesser versions, or even after being buffed are still functionally useless.
All the wind up of a fully charged Greatsword R2 with none of the satisfaction
thanks for making long videos i love it like a whole journey even tho i beat all these games so many times over these challenges make me want to go back to all these great fromsoft games
My current theory is that, instead of just spawning where you're locked on, it sends an invisible spell orb or something of the ilk, and the first thing it touches gets boned.
At 3:38 he locked onto the Bloodhound Knight on the opposite side of the wall for anyone who's confused and curious.
"we got satan, lucifer, and el diablo" 💀 who's gonna tell him? probably why the build is so shitty😭😭
I was going to say 'That's not Magic Glintblade', but holy shit.
Bro could've hitten godrick with the Ash of war 💀
Mi BOMBACLAT ahh spell🗣️
When is the legs only run ? I know you saw that trailer 😂😂
You’re the only Elden Ring player I respect because of your character creation. I feel like you’re the only one that really *gets* character creation’s true purpose. Thank You for your authentic greatness in this regard.
There are a lot of spells that unintuitively are spawned by invisible projectiles, and if those invisible projectiles are blocked by geometry or another enemy then that's where the spell with appear. Tibia summons is one of those spells.
Skum when will you get the WR in oneshotting Bog as fast as possible?
It's always funny when people get caught in Rosus's summons
I find the weapon art really good, the spell just sucks.
That godfrey battle was hilarious I love it.
I don’t know what I did wrong with sorcery, but like a third of the way through my magic play-through the damage was dropping off and I just became a melee user scaling off of intelligence and used like 0 spells until the end of the game.
hear me out.
Elden Ring but every animal, enemy and boss is Maliketh.
Or else Hoarah Loux.
I think this is the first time I'm seeing a Mariner moveset, usually they're dead before I can see it
Fun fact(s): The spell has long range, but it also casts an invisible line to the enemy so it knows where to place the attack, which means it can be blocked by objects and terrain, and it can straight up just miss the boss hitbox sometimes too, in case the spell needed to be any worse of course.
Oh yeah! And do you know how enemies won't dodge night sorceries? Technically this spell also is supposed to bypass dodge detections, but they forgot to apply it to the hidden casting line, so technically the enemies dodging it aren't even dodging the spell itself, they are dodging the line!
There's something very funny to me about skum saying "hes stuck in the closet" after listening to Bridget's theme
I feel like you gotta free-aim this spell to hit certain enemies, but that might also require clairvoyance beyond the ken of normal men.
me: *scratching my head*
skumnut: Stop scratching your head
me: wtf?
I'm surprised you never went for the Azur's Glintstone Staff and went for increasing your intelligence/damage as that staff also increases your casting speed and stacks with the Radagon Icon (and is slightly faster). Using both would've given you the fastest possible casting speed.
