Beating Elden Ring With The Worst Damage Type

"Triple A quality"

No this just earned you an unsubb and block. Raid is such a trash game. Peace sellout

@@half-blindentity9846 nope, that is absolutely not correct. Because a character with only Vigor isn't going to be able to do much damage. Min-Maxing: The concept of minimizing undesirable qualities of a character so as to maximize desirable qualities in order to achieve the most powerful character possible in an RPG.

@@Purriah I think he was kidding lol

@@Purriah i mean it kind of is correct, giantdad is a min max for endurance and vitality (health)

@@moonlight-qr6px Yeah, but only because of how ds1 worked. Min-maxing is maximizing your gain while minimizing the cost. Giantdad was minmaxed like that because you could just level vit and end while using a raw infusion with minimal damage loss, so it was the most efficient build point-per-point.

@@MetalHev slight correction, a chaos weapon was used for giantdad, raw is absolutely dogshit in ds1

also he earned his money back probably thousandfold lol

The pain of no damage

I hope in the dlc they introduce more bosses who are weak to holy damage

Much like in dragons dogma where everything is weak to fire, in elden ring, everything resists holy. from this we can gather the wisdom "unga bunga burn this motha"

I'm a holy build (along with many others) and I do a good amount of damage especially with my red lighting

Bear in mind that's only 20% of the damage it's capable off. Against a boss with 0 holy resistance, that would be dealing in the low 2k

@@glorytoukraine5524 I mean, that’s still not very great damage for a “Legendary” Incantation. Ancient Dragon Lighting Strike was doing way more than that, on an easier cast, and with better AoE. Elden Stars is a comically terrible incantation, and desperately needs a huge buff.

What is your preferred weapon type? And if it isn't hammer I would like to tell about why you should be hitting the monster on the head.

@@wereowl9369 You can always go back to smacking the head once the tail is off. It's a free carve, my dude. The bonk is a trap, laid out to impoverish hunters.

@@wereowl9369 Scientific studies that I totally haven't made up just right now prove that hammer mains are 47% more likely to die from tennis elbow, just sayin'

@@darthplagueis13 Hold on before we continue what weapon do you use?

Bloodborne should've been a great example of doing that. Fromsoft likes to carry over mechanics like that.

ALWAYS dodge towards. Especially projectiles

@@jackwithrow536 alot of enemies punish that sorta thing unfortunately, godskin noble and commander nial for example

@@el_buro What do you mean? The only two attacks I can think of that they do that meets the "don't dodge towards" catagory would be Niall's frost AoE and Noble's flame circle, but aside from those two attacks and a couple others, you should be dodging towards an enemy's attack to minimize the amount of time you spend interacting with a hitbox. For example, if an attack is coming from your left and you dodge to the left, it's a lot more lenient on timing because you need fewer s to dodge that attack. There's always exceptions to every rule, I mean even Bloodborne had attacks you shouldn't dodge towards; BSB's poison AoE, and most AoE's in general are just easier to dodge by getting away from the attack.

Sometimes, its more efficient to roll away for example, when they charge. The timing is a little tide, but you have a greater window to damage them.

Sad to tell you but you would run out of FP before kill on some enemies lmao

@@zackfoster3208 False. Look at that damage! Elden stars is such a great incantation.

story of my first playthrough, the one time i want to play faith in a souls games

You can always use fire in this game. Especially blackflame

Dual wielding different weapon types in this game isn't a good idea.

@@asdergold1 A good idea? No. But cool looking? Yes, if it's the Runed Sword and Cypher Pata at least.

@@Trevor21230​disregard the haters brother. I'm rocking a sacred blade Uchigatana with Cypher Pata offhand and the coolness factor alone makes it worthwhile.

he banned black flame despite ti being fire damage and not technically a status so its possibly he would say the same for the black knife becaus eof its health burn. I know the health gets returned after a bit but its still quite strong as it effectively lowers the bosses health by like 15%.

I believe the black flame is derived from destined death so it would make sense that destined death is also banned.

Fextralife moment

One of my favorite Elden Beast kills was with the BUBBLES Absolutely destroyed him despite being holy lol

@@xhumanwine dextralife

Try Winged Scythe. Deals holy damage, has a bleed and a good damage weapon skill.

I once tried to do a holy scythe build but gace up when realized i sis more damage from the scythe's bleed than its holy dmg :/

I completed the game with the halo scythe. Just get the right faith boosting items / tears / talismans and a nice summon like black knife tiche and your good to go from a distance ez

Honestly you should only use the halo scythe if you're doing a golden order paladin type build who shoots out rings of light incantations like a machine gun. Furthermore there are a lot of golden order boosting items such as golden order seal, Gold mask's mask, holy cracked tear, golden vow, fire give me strength, both incantation boosting talismans and of course Godfrey's icon/Alexander's shard. Lastly use the scepter of the all knowing to further increase holy damage by marking enemies with a debuff that decreases their holy damage resistance. Yes it's a lot of work and I mean alot of work to make the build viable but if you're going for Goldmask's ending then you have to match his brilliance or you're just a poser pfft..

Been buffed now since the weapon does have an actual hitbox during the ash. But now for things Holy is actually useful for. Using most ashes, especially Spinning Weapon and Phantom Slash on an Order's Bladed weapon along with Last Rites against any undead is overkill. So much damage. Last Rites got buffed to 100% and those two stack. I've done 18K once with Phantom Slash. Honestly no idea how, I didn't even do the follow-up!

I did a bleed only run last week and yeah. I killed Godrick before he finished his 2nd phase fire attack. With lv 16 btw.

Ewww

I mean... wouldn't any boss be harder if it isn't being cheesed? Isn't that the whole point of "cheesing" a boss?

@@thatonekid20111 crazy how this guy is having a harder time fighting the boss instead of not fighting the boss. Crazy

@@Kaitri Godrick*

I was going to mention Giant's Seal, but it doesn't boost catch flame. Does make me wonder if it would allow less FP efficient fire spells to still be viable.

@@rainestar6781 oh absolutely man. Offhanding is an option that everyone should ALWAYS keep in mind

@@rainestar6781 yes! Cuz it's a whole twenty percent for most pyromancies. Esp the op ones you unlock from the tome in the same area, but maybe it could make the flame surge and whirl o flame ok (but probably not lmao)

@@Shmethan The best uses for Surge, O Flame! and Whirl, O Flame! is roll catching or killing really fast enemies like dogs that love to jump to one side just as you toss the nuke that you thought would be hilarious to overkill them with. Flame Fall Upon Them CAN work for that too, along with pretty much any other trash mob you don't feel like nuking, but sometimes the shotgun spread of hits just completely misses.

I’m not one that destroys things when frustrated at games, but I 10000000% would have thrown my control pad there fucking hell

Seriously, my 3rd time fighting malenia I got her to one health 3 times before I killed her because I kept getting cocky with the kill

@@arizonaranger2333 Real talk. These control pads cost £50. I am gently placing them shits down everytime 🤣

@@CptJumper lmao for sure always be setting the important shit down before raging

about 70% sure its because its literally impossible, you cant outdmg that 80% resistance and have enough mana to kill the boss that way or hell, try staying alive longer than 3 minutes in second phase

@@zsoltsiro1310 not without Black Flame! Which he banned.

he could’ve farmed for the magma curve sword off the man serpents in volcano manor it does pure fire

@@HD_COLT At least according to the wiki it's split fire/physical. I looked for so long to try to find a pure fire weapon for a pyromancer build, but nah if you want pure fire your attack is going to cost FP.

The fact that veteran's prosthesis doesn't replace one of your leg is the single biggest L this game suffers from

@@champiggyfrm_pig5271 They could've at least made it a special Fist Weapon that can't be two-handed, like the Grafted Dragon. He doesn't have two prosthetic legs.

I'm gonna say it again, Godfrey's remembrance should have given you bare fists with a Wrestling moveset

Catch flame is actually one of the best incantations in the game, Amazing dmg/fp ratio and easily spammable only problem is range but even then it's good for melee replacement

@@brandentaft5164 Oh I know it's a good incantation, but against a boss with 80% fire resist? Can't have been easy

Only 12 bosses required though

@@Bennieboy918 in the 0 equip load run, he counted anything with a boss health bar, so that could be it.

Hes done an incantation no repeating run

He did kick only which is Weapon Skill only for people who hate themselves

What about things like Unsheathe, Square Off, Night and Flame Stance, etc.?

I mean, you only need to kill: Draconic Sentinel, Piss Godfrey, Morgott, Fire Giant, Wario & Waluigi, Maliketh, Gideon, Godfrey, and then Radagon with Elden Beast. That's 10 if you count Radagon and Elden Beast as separate

You need 2 great runes to get into leyndell, so it’s at least 12

You also need 2 great runes to enter Leyndell, Radahn and Mohg (via Pureblood Knight Charm) can be gotten without any additional kills so that's 14. If you're offline you'll need to do Rykard or Goderick, both of which require an extra kill to get to (Godskin Noble or Margit).

@@donkkonk6197 oh, right, completely forgot about that detail in that case, yeah, around 12

Technically she's using her prosthesis, so maybe the commanders prosthesis?

@@silcrow4045 Or it's a Katana according to the game.

@@alexanderchipman9571 the katana is part of the prosthesis I think, gotta fight Melania again Btw I love the Melania fight, it's the only fight that can withstand my bullshit builds, plus she got her arm cut off by radahn and still kept fighting

I would be happier if I never read this. Not because I care, but because this was a waste of my time. Bye forever.

@@switters8679 Savage

Just pacifist run with Vigour restriction; spirit summons doing all the work

So, summon run?

if your attacks deal no damage, then just use statuses and summons, you're golden

This is why I love elden ring, the little details like a death birds wings, or how certain enemies react to eachother

Gold, a sensible choice for fire proof armour? What are you talking about!? First of all, Gold does not have a high melting point. It's only 1,064 C. Iron, the metal that most armour uses, has a much higher melting point of 1,538 C. Melting point isn't the only factor for heat resistance either. The wearer's resistance to fire would also be heavily dependent on specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity. Specific heat capacity is the capacity of a material to absorb heat. The higher the specific heat capacity, the more energy required to heat up a material to a certain temperature. Thermal conductivity is the capacity of a material to transfer heat. The higher the thermal conductivity, the faster the transference of heat from one side of a material to the other. So how does Gold actually fair in this respect? Gold has a specific heat capacity of 0.126 J/g C and a thermal conductivity of 310 W/m C. Iron has a higher specific heat capacity of 0.450 J/g C, and a lower thermal conductivity of 73 W/m C. So with this in mind, gold is an awful choice for fire resistance. You will cook up much faster inside a suit of gold armour than you would in a suit of iron armour. This isn't nice attention to detail on Elden Ring's part. Most likely, the developers chose gold, because that represents the Golden Order that all these knights serve under. I'm not even sure if the armour is actually made from gold. It's described as golden, but that's probably just referring to the colour. Most likely it is made from a gilded dragonbone or gravelstone, much like the weapons they use.

@magnum idk if any of them are harder/easier than one another. Just challenging in different ways. Depends on various factors (which game you played 1st is usually the hardest. Playstyle is a big factor too.) Moving quickly through levels, and being aggressive vs bosses is always better than the reverse though.

NGL it'd be extremely easy unless you add other restrictions. You can just get one weapon, and upgrade it . Done. You don't need to use more than 1 weapon

This one the decent damage is he trying to see if that's enough damage to killed them before he runs out of spell Mana

I mean, that does make it bad.

The problem might be fp consumption, since lower levels are more efficient

*Radagon's rings of light. Miquella's ring of light is the ash of war for the halo scythe

@@PolarTundra655 there are two miquella's ring of light, There is the ash of war and the incantation

@@rollingkirby Nope. There are three ring incantations. Discus of light, Triple rings of light and Radagon's Rings of light. You're thinking of triple rings of light.

idk if that was a typo or a pun but a lightning dragoon sounds like an awesome challenge run

@@xenasaur520 actually a dragoon is an actual thing. Its a spear-wielding class I recall from Final Fantasy. But it's also of historical significance. A member of any of several cavalry regiments in the British army. Been studying history so I'm learning new things everyday. But. The original idea behind the build was derived from my knowledge of FF's dragoon class, which wields powerful spears. I'm adding in the lightning spell use cause several strong spears in the game have Faith scaling. Like the one you get from a cart in the Lake area, to the right of where you exit the back of Godrick's castle behind a troll

@@vixey6339 a dragoon's role varies from game to game but typically its spear wielding knight + dragons in some way, depending on the game. Some Dragoons have little dragon buddies, some Dragoons are dragon slayers and gain their power from dragons, some end up being both (like in 14), but they're all spear guy + dragon. Anyway, cool build!

I remember seeing no inventory challange which sounds kinda similar. Although they collected upgrades for weapons, as you can use them without opening inventory.

@@MajkelKerman it was Bushy who made that I'm pretty sure

Nothing wrong with treating holy damage a certain way for lore reason, what’s sad is that it’s not treated that way more frequently. For example preventing all undead resurrection, or for example radahn being more flame and magic resistant than holy resistant (or equally resistant to all), dragons don’t need to be holy resistant at all, neither do most mobs, so all in all there should be plenty of uses for holy even if many bosses are resistant to it. What bugs me is more the lack of practical holy spells, they are almost all GO fundamentalism and those suck really hard in terms of moveset and damage, especially given their requirements.

yeah, the elemental damage or status effect experience in souls is always so jank, physical builds on resistant enemies still do a lot of damage but faith or int elemental damage will get roadblocked. madness is usable in pve but it has a single weapon and like 2 decent spells lol

Did he skip Rykard?

Sacred scorpion charm, flocks canvas talisman, radagon icon and dragoncrest shield, with triple rings of light, wrath of gold, sacred blade on a clayman spear, or other weapon with good fth scaling, Miquellan knights sword, orders blade there are a ton of unique weapons that naturally do holy damage. A prime example is black blade, golden order greatsword, and for dex option black knife and ornate swords.. I also feel that sacred blade also works well with sacrificial axe. Golden land is good. Holy has alot of powerful attacking options if you have decent faith. A problem though is all the enemies that have holy resistance.

The thing with elemental weapons is that they are alot more complex than physical ones. Enemy resistance plays a huge role in the damage you do as well as your attribute scaling. If you use a holy weapon with no faith for example, you will lack. Same goes if you are using a hybrid weapon and only fth but no str or dex. Elemental weapons are powerful but demand more investment for not only stats but also information as you have to know the best things to use them against. Holy is in fact the attribute that replaced the dark attribute from dark souls which, despite people thinking it sucks. Is always VERY strong in each game and its own fully developed elemental type. Same goes for holy. :)

@@nebulouscat2210 Oh I've got all that stuff, I'm just kinda wowed by the fact that they made so many cool Faith weapons and spells for it and then made it the most common resistance
