FINALLY! Volcano Pots are one of the easiest to farm and not only wreck enemies but stagger nearly everything. Been loving these pots since my first run.
Same! I actually went back to the Volcano area to farm more of the rock a couple times. It’s super easy to pick up 100+ volcanic rock! My favorite pot for sure.
@@andrewrchooven1996I just recently discovered the power of volcano pots and they won me two really difficult boss fights that I would've lost otherwise
Don’t want to waste ingredients? Load up on a few rare pots, unequip weapons and summon mimic tear. You fight with your weapons while your mimic throws pots. Like giving the halo marines rockets and having them ride shotgun on the warthog.
The crystal darts only send them into a fervor and they attack what ever is closest, meaning if you are the only enemy around they will still attack you, the bewitching branch get them to fight for you
Especially frustrating because I pick up EVERYTHING but haven’t crafted anything. Just saving ingredients until I need them, so you’d think 100 hours of resource gathering you should be able to craft a decent amount of anything. Nope, I mean I don’t need to farm rowa fruit but that’s about it. Mostly pissed about the inexplicable item rarity why are there only like 5 poison curing boluses available to buy in the entire game. Bizarre that you can respec 3x as much as a basic cure poison (not including incants/crafting)
Odd because I just reached capital of ash before deciding to gather all the crafting stuff I missed...discovered i have soooo many crafting materials. Only thing I needed to farm was some land octopus ovaries. @monhi64
@@monhi64 I don't think you're picking up as much stuff as you think you are. I don't farm at all, and I make extra pots to put in storage, any throwing knife I want, and any grease or arrows I need. The only things I run out of is livers, ovaries, and the very limited materials like arterial leaves and jar shards.
12:20 For the miranda powder, you can just farm that and altus bloom at the same place. From the abandoned coffin site of grace near the perfumer's ruins, you can find around 4-5 giant miranda flowers and a bunch of smaller ones in the water next to the ruins. After getting those you can just go to the ruins, pick up the altus bloom, and then kill the additional miranda flowers in the ruins so you get both ingredients in 1 run.
I highly recommend using sleep on rune bears and lobsters .... it allows you to burst them down before they can do much to you. Those 2 enemies used to be a huge pain in the ass, but I always have a couple sleep pots on me for whenever they show up.
But then the question is why even fight them in the first place. I do know there’s at least a couple rune bears that have a unique drop, that’s arguably worth going after. Not sure if there’s any reason to target the lobsters though
Well, we've known about using sleeping pots to deal with the godskin duo... right? I still don't use them even though they're good. The good news is...If you've never crafted anything but have tons of play time hours, you most likely have HELLA ingredients to make a lot of these pots.
"Well begun is half done" | Gathering all your materials as soon as they are accessible and creating stockpiles before taking on the bosses helps make a run like this feel less of a grind. This has been an amazing run on Twitch. Thank you for making a guide for YT as well!
This isn't a great recommendation for pot only runs imo, since an oil pot will increase the next instance of fire damage by 50%, but you use up a pot for that increase. So say a fire pot does 100 damage, with a oil pot and then a fire pot, it's 150, but with 2 fire pots instead of the 1 oil and 1 fire, it's 200.
Swarm pots are amazing too if you build for them. Almost 1000 damage against enemies that are immune to bleed. Against enemies that can be bled and it’s a wrap.
I do like to keep some volcano pots and throwing daggers around even if I'm doing a ranged spell run. The pots are fantastic for cheesing the Avatars in the Haligtree. For the Avatar surrounded by the knights and mounted crossbows just get passed it, rest to reset the area, climb up the ladder, and angle it to catch the Avatar on the fringe of it while stepping back as not to get hit. Will take it out in short order. The other Avatar wait until you get to the grace by Malenia and take the elevator up. Wait until it is walking underneath you and you can pelt it with the pots retreating into the elevator to avoid the attacks. Also watch out cause some soldiers could drop down and attack you from behind. That's how you cheese some of the most pain-in-the-butt Avatars.
Yeah consumables were my main focus going into elden ring, seeing as they were near useless for 80% of every soulsbourne game barring DS2 I have always had an obsession with making them work, I saw that Fromsoft were changing the way they were handled, limiting the number of pots you had, which made me sure that they would be more effective individually. This led me to choose bandit as my first player character, not for the bleed builds but because I intended to be crafting a lot and needed a high drop chance (not that this really mattered, as most of the crafting materials you will be using already have high drop rates even without high arcane, and the hard to farm ones are still a pain to grind out with arcane boosted). I thouroughly enjoy consumables in elden ring, every character I make uses some form of consumable, depending on my stat spread, leading to some of the most entertaining battlemage builds. I just hope that one day fromsoft adds a baltic sling as a ranged weapon and allows us to load throwables into it, honestly they already have so much groundwork prepared for it, you could use ruin fragments as the basic ammo for it, it would give bombs a faster travel velocity and in general making them more efficient and fun to use, an alchemist grenadier build would be so fun, make some ammo that can heal or buff your team mates, become the status effect king.
A great place to get smoldering butterflies and thin beast bones is the eastern table land in liurnia. It's near the camp where you get the fire cleanse me spell.
Great video, only thing I'd add is the the poison spraymist perfume. It is similar to fetid pot poison where it ticks do way more at 24 a tick, but also lasts longer than fetid pot poison at the cost of FP usage. It totals at over 2k damage I believe.
230 hours after starting elden ring i decided to try using those jar consumables, since I'm always used to avoid consuming those (specially on the ever-autosaving from software games). I learned the actual mechanics and looks very nice
@Casper's Studio did it happen to you that you amassed a "high" amount of jars and flasks of perfume and never used them because they pretty much seem "consumable"? I've read about the blood perfume, but never used it
wow, excellent. Thank you very much for this. I am very confused on the cracked pot stuff and consumables. Not really very understandable. How ever, you just helped me on a design build I want to make as a Pirate. The Jelly Fish shield I had NO idea was there. Will add that to the build as well.
Part of game’s balance is focused on consumables. Ditto summons. Fact that some people ignore these and still claim the game is too hard is a joke. A few more tips: 1. make sure to kill the slugs when farming smoldering butterflies. They can drop another one and will probably die in one hit. 2 With fetid pots most people already probably guessed, but using them can activate Kindred of Rot’s Exultation and the mushroom crown. 3. Trina’s don’t respawn so use sleep pots and arrows sparingly. Honestly I recommend the arrows rather than the pot for this one because you craft more arrows and the rain of arrows ash of war consumes a single ammunition but drops a barrage on the target. 4. Arteria leaf is another that doesn’t respawn so be sparring with them. 5. Don’t sleep on the ironjar aromatic. It gives 40% physical damage reduction, boost status resistances by 45%, and makes enemy weapons bounce off of you, making it great for crowd control since you can essentially ignore incoming attacks and do a big counter of your own, like a big AoE spell or a charged heavy or weapon skill. Especially if you also pop the baldachin’s blessing.
Just found your channel! This is so cool, I was like you I hardly ever bothered to use throwing pots in my playthroughs. I have always used bows and arrows, and other things like the cotton balls to break falls, etc. But I never really looked into pots at all! Can't wait to try some of these, thanks for sharing the info
The best mushroom farm spot I know is right outside the very first catacomb (stormfront catcombs I think). Just walk out from the grace to the catacomb entrance and there's 2 mushrooms you can pickup
As far as I know you can get infinite aeonian butterflies in the aeonia swamp in caleid. I might be wrong and sometimes you need to rest and search around a dozen times to get them but eventually you will find some just flying above the swamp. Little tipp, for me the roots around Commander O'Neil was where I found the most aeonian Butterflies.
No. If there was any respawning spot for aoenian butterflies, the pvp community would have found it a while ago, since rot pots and rot bolts are super common in pvp, especially invasions. Instead, if you want to have a supply of them, you have to farm basilisks in the lake of rot.
I have been following your All quests guide and am on episode 4, i have also been doing my own thing and im on about 110 hours this playthrough, I do like using pots and this has convinced me im doing something correct for once ha ha.
Haha, I thought everybody spammed fan daggers, volcanos and kukris. Splattering a dragon's head up close with fans feels and sounds good. I use kukris to soften up fat targets as they approach and build up some bleed if applicable and the raw damage ain't even bad for the effort. The range on kukris always surprises me too.
There's actually a great mushroom farming spot in Limgrave, way at the North of Agheel Lake. Just keep going past the spot where the NPC invades you, and you'll find this shady area with a TON of them, easily accessed.
I've only been watching this for a minute and a half and I have no idea how accurate this is, but the presentation is really good so I just wanna keep watching
I like to start games as a wretch, because of the great starting stat spread that makes it possible to respec into any build you want. Fire pots are a great asset in the early game, before I find a good weapon and armor.
Consumables saved my ass many times on the back half of play through #1 (still on first play through 🕺) . I'm getting better with combat mechanics, but until I can beat bosses head up , no summons, I will certainly continue using pots . I've yet to use any greases though
For Aeonian Butterflies, I think a late-game spot is in those ponds of rot at the Root of the Haligtree. In the huge area before crossing the gap heading towards the Milicent encounter. I think it is dropped by those "baby" servants of Rot that are submerged and only comes out when you are close to them.
Plsion Spraymist is my go-to consumable, it has insane Poison buildup of a special Deadly Poison that is STRONGER than Scarlet Rot from weapons (0.21% Max HP)+21. Its Poison buildup works like this, its ticks 5 times a second for 7 seconds. Its base is 26 and goes up to about 34 at 45 Arcane. That my not seem like mich, but remember that is each tick (and there are 5 of those per second), and 1 full second is roughly 170 Poison buildup. These things are great even on builds with low Arcane, my Strength/Intelligence build, which has the lowest Arcane stat of 7, was able to Poison Fire Giant with just two. Any attack that leaves the target still is a great opportunity to use them. At 35 ish Arcane Maliketh was quickly Poisoned while not spending much time in it. Its not too difficult to make use of them to delete 1k health from bosses who can be Poisoned.
When I start a new game I sell every craft material to get leveled up, but after I save every feather and bone and when I got the volcano pot I'd spend an hour getting the rocks of the mountain and its the only material you need besides the cracked pot, so you are absolutely right about the volcano pot, when I first used one my jaw dropped
It's so funny that this video came into my recommended because I was literally just thinking yesterday that I never use consumables in any souls games because I never want to rely on something that's finite. After watching this video, I think I'm going to give it a shot on the playthrough I just started.
The reason people don't use consumables is that you have to know which ones the bosses are weak to, otherwise you wind up wasting a lot time and resources trying to guess your way through. Unless you follow a guide, it's just not worth it.
arteria leaves can be farmed at the giants gravepost, from the giant across, using silver tear mask and silver scarab, I've been using uplifting aromatic from the start, it's sooo good. Great videos btw
Holy water / sacred order pots are also great against those who live in death - they stop them from ressurecting and a simple sacred water pot one shots most of them throughout the game. Bloodboone pot can be really awesome. I used it with the guts sword + lion claw + physic that increases poise dmg in pve. 2 lions claw will break most things poise with the physik, so you can brute force alot of bosses with lion claw chains / pancakes.
Yes using consumables is something too many player sleep on. With consumables you can play like batman and always have the right one on your belt to counter whatever tough enemy or boss you are fighting. Just having the right pot and weapon grease to max your damage on a boss on top of using the right liver to counter the types of damage they do can really help a lot.
I’m not interested in doing a consumables only run, but Idefinitely use pots. They are great projectiles and deal great damage. Will consider the rest of these options as well.
The new Great Jar Helm from the DLC does better damage to pots than the regular jar helm. The regular boosts your regular jars at 15% and the Great Jar Helm boosts your regular jars AND your hefty pots at 16%. So its best to go get that Great Jar Helm and use that.
So, I'm just going to openly admit that I'm cheap when it comes to Death Birds, I make Holy Pots, and I basically never use all of them to kill it... >.>... YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME FOR THIS!!! If I had a dirtier move for Crucible Knights, I'd revel in that even more, because I ain't about to put up with their shit! Edit: The character that I'm furthest with primarily uses archery. and I collect cookbooks to have every type of fletched Bone Arrow that I can. I want to use weaknesses, and I already have the Bone Bow, thank you for asking.
Frankly, you’d want Vigor, and the stats that any of your pots scale with. In many cases, that’s Strength and Dexterity, in others it’s Intelligence, and in the case of two pots, it’s Faith. So some of everything really, though you don’t need that much Faith. Even with low Faith and the right talismans, they melt Deathbirds. With the Golden Epitaph’s buff, they oneshot Deathbirds.
Good video! To mix and match i use these buffs and determination to whack sh*t out of of enemies on one to three hits... These pots and daggers offer great ranged option to hyper powerfull melee. After 500hrs still fun game
“The new rivers of blood” gotta admit i love the nerfs it received even tho i was the one using it and all my friends were complaining, sometimes even at coliseums people would leave the match cuz i had one but they didn’t realize I’m not a spammer, killing someone while not using the skill even once always feels menacing because i know they were worried abt my OP ability when they should’ve been worried about me
in your experience/s what pots will melt mellinia blade of miguella. i have only gotten her into her second phase once and she ended my existence insanely quickly
One of my favorite builds was the walking conundrum. Str based katar wielding assassin who spammed flames of redmane (pre nerf rip) and specialized in consumables
youtube's algo is so weird. it's showing me this because i watched a movie with eddie redmane the other day. now i'm seeing stuff about redmane firepots.
Because consumables are a hassle to use. you need to farm the mats, find the cracked, ritual, and hefty pots, find the cookbook, then craft, then assign them to a button that is shared by your flasks + other items. then when you run out after chucking a bunch at a boss you need to restart the process. oh and you can only carry a few so if the boss is still alive after you use all of them, well, you better have a good weapon to finish the fight. another point is that ashes of war sort of outclass consumables. some AoWs deal a certain element type or can stance break bosses easily. and it doesnt require half the amount of prep that it does to use consumables
Ive found Throwing knives great against malenia aswel, not to hit her but to trigger her more tricky moves to dodge from a distance or to bait her into attacking you as attacking her is risky
Yea I been loving the volcano pots since day one. Just destroyed the hardest tree avatar In Caelid at level 70ish with only 4 volcano pots the other day. They are fun to farm too in the “Altus plateau loop” as I call it haha
Right, now what's more fun, to use a melee weapon with a semi-complex move set, respecting enemy attack patterns, untilizing guard counters/parries/blocking and all that jazz, looking for an opportunity to strike back or just throw pots at things?
Arcane for bleed/poison pots improves proc rate (and damage of flies) per pot. Dexterity is most recommendable for knives, if you got enough strength for jellyfish shield as he has, you got enough.
These games are limitless with viable play options. If you don’t want to level up you can put those items you found to good use. The perfume bottles are cool options too. Your imagination is the limit.
dont sleep on the oil pots. only require 1 material to make melted mushroom that is and throwing them makes the next fire damage slap hard. Crazy combo vs the tree avatars
I, for one, never use any consumables on ANY game I play. I just think to myself "what if I need them later, when tougher situations arise?" Well right now I'm stuck at Commander Niall, with my useless garbage build ( lvl 87, perks put up completely randomly, as it is my first time ever playing Elden Ring, or any Souls game really ). Failed a good 100 tries already, wasted all of my Bewitching Branches and still didn't kill him, weapons or spirit ashes don't do anything to the guy lol. Perhaps it's about time to start using consumables in game :)
Shouldn't one be able to buy more "old fangs" after turning in Pidia's Bell Bearing? Also I was wondering if boosting your Arcane helps when obtaining the "limited" ingredients? Like maybe get multiples instead of just one each pickup. 🤔 Do the Twin Maiden Husks ever restock their supplies? Also loved the change in background music when you started talking about the "crystal dart" 😎🤘
they wont restock but arcane increases the chance of dropps for these incredients. for example the fangs for the redmanepot drop form certain misbegotten and boars at a standard discovery rate of 100 around 5% of the times, adernblatt (no idea what the englishh name was, its the red flower thing needed for the damage aromatic) drops from fuzzy trolls in the mountaintops has a 30% droprate. if you increase this 100 discovery up to 250 via the silver scarab talisman (+75) a silver pickled foot (+50) and for example add 25 arcane points (+25, every additional point in arcane in creases the discovery counter by 1) the fangs would have a dropchance of 12,5 percent for every killed boar and adernblatt would drop around 75% for every fuzzy troll you kill. i hope this answer helped you a little with the question
Can't remember the name of it, but there's a site of grace in Liurnia that's right next to a fire with smouldering butterflies. You literally don't have to move to farm them. It's in the Ravine.
Is that where the first merchant at the lake is? There is a butterfly on his fire, a nearby mushroom and also squirrels and birds so you can get plenty of materials there.
What were they thinking makingthe Cursed-Blood Pot? Should douse the target in bloodflame and leave a pool of it on the ground, or at least do something like when a Sanguine Noble does the blood pool attack and slow enemy movement while doing damage.
the quickest way to farm fulgar bloom is probably by the minor erdtree in dragon barrow just jump off the cliff and respawn at the stake right next to them
I farmed aeonian butterfly from basilisk from the first grace in the lake of rot 5 or 6 of them easy to do and u get about 1 every other run but then sometimes u will be 3 or 4 on the same run
I've always saved up consumables in almost every game I've ever played expecting to use them at some important time, then I never do. I just don't even think about using them, tragically.
Problem I usually have with consumables is the very limited resources where they can only be farmed like two or three at a time, or rarely from an annoying enemy. I understand limiting valuable resources, but it just makes me not want to use the things. (Volcano pots are still great.)
FROST POTS STUN MELANIA OUT OF WATERFOWL DANCE And a lot of bosses will dodge throwables so using glinstones is an easy way around that as they dont dodge the projectiles.
