Elden Ring DLC - BEST Magic BUILD, Night Comet, No Hit All Main Bosses in SOTE & Base Game 

Very good summary. Thanks!

Totally. I use night comet all the time to clear dungeons without melee.

Thank you for letting me know. I recorded a bunch of videos like that scheduled... Good idea to give more time in moving between the items.

You can slow down the playback of the video too. Better than trying to pause when its so fast.

@@c.b.295 yup, will do (after a few schedule ones).

Sure. Maybe madness buff was the one you didn't add. Try it, cheers.

​@@casualggIt's very Good I started playing this week and Finished Elden Ring and am collecting everything Before purchasing the Dlc,So you think I should buy the Dlc as people said mage is not viable in Dlc but I got through the base game comfortably with your similar build

@@notorious4204 Mage is more than viable in DLC. As you see in the video, it is more op than probably 95% of the builds outside there in my opinion, after the nerf of impenetrable thorns, which can be considered as a mage/spell build anyways.

​@@casualggThank you for replying btw is this NG+

@notorious4204 yes, NG+ where I use two staff of loss. Not absolutely necessary for NG. Can use one staff of loss and lusat glint stone or other staff.

👍 great! Respurces means crafting materials?

Thank you for your comment and suggestions! Others suggested going slow in the gear scanning through part of the video. I will do it in future videos besides a few that I already edited that way. Here is the script for the heavy buff process I wrote down. It is a bit tedious, but hope this helps: We throw a frenzy flame stone on the ground, eat pickled turtle neck, and wait until the madness reaches about half of the bar, cast Golden Vow, drink our Physick, cast Howl of shabriri, after madness triggers, swap to Mushroom crown eat raw meat dumpling to get poison switch Aged one’s Exultation to Graven-Mass Talisman switch both hands’ weapons to staff of loss drink FP flask enter the arena while we go through door swap kindred of Rot’s exultation to magic scorpion charm We are ready for the fight.

Poison buffs are the ones I didn't add even to the heavy buffs at the end of the video. So the items you called out are what we can add on top to improve our damage if we are in higher NG plus games. I just released a video of finger Sorceries. Please check if that's interesting to you.

Thanks! It is definitely on my list - the first item came to my mind is the Rakshasa set, and bloodsucking tear to replace spiked tear. Any other dlc item worth to look at?

@@casualgg this isn’t dlc but you didn’t include the white mask in the original video which with the blood loss just gives a damage buff

@@georgeradford215 Got u. Also more buffs from madness, etc. Thank you!

Yes, each boosts Invisibility sorceries by 30%. Huge damage gain

I didn't wear white mask. Only using the norm buff (07:40). I was trying to do no hit on that boss, so I went pretty much all for defense. If you have trouble with the boss, don't use howl of shabriri (I actually have no option for a replacement here as it is spell damage). Then wearing heavier armor is going to help a lot.

@@casualgg I'm not sure how i posted this comment on the wrong video but I actually meant on your cross naginata bleed build while you were fighting that boss you were basically face tanking him.

@@drewskii3289 haha, I see. That video was at the beginning of the DLC, when I was not very familiar with the boss mechanics. I was using the IronJar aromatic, which prevents us from rolling but gives us a ton of defense. When you see the body is covered like melted iron, the effect is active. It is a very good defense mechanism there. With this aromatic, we probably can wear anything.

Thanks. Yes, Madding hand is equipped in the off-hand to get the 7.5% damage buff. Cheers!

😂

Sure thing. Thank you for your comment! Cheers!

07:40 - Normal Buff 07:57 - Heavy Buff (for hard bosses)

@@casualgghow do I get two staff of losses

@@casualggand also I’m level 234 if you could level up anything else, what would it be?

@@noori-hd4ql You will need to go to another NG plus game to pick up one OR ask someone to drop you one if possible.

@@noori-hd4ql Put intelligence to 99, more vigor and mind if needed. And some dex to increase cast speed as the last option.

It seems there is a lot of variations in your setup. Also, when you cast the spells, do you fully charge them?

@@casualgg In all cases i use the specific set up to boost the specific spell to the max. Azur crown boost comet and Lusat crown boost Stars of Ruin. Lusat staff is also the highest damage for those spells. So for me at 80 int a maxed out Stars of ruin beats a maxed out Comet, which beats a maxed out Night Comet. Which should not, because everyone says that maxed out Night Comet achieve the highest damage of all spells. So what am I doing wrong ? Also yes, all these damage are for fully charged spells with the same talisman set-up.

@@Sadoruro I don't think you are doing things wrong. It might be how it is designed to be - I haven't tested it myself. Well, it is not all about the damage. Comet is good and similar to night comet, while enemy can detect it is coming and dodge it. Star of ruin is pain for me to cast and make sure it tracks enemy. To be honest, I have never made it actually work well. In the end, it's gonna be a combination of factors to make one spell your favorite. Can you share what talismans you are using?

Okay. See the following video where I tried to recreate what you said, which get very similar damage numbers as you did. I think the point in my last comment still holds - if you try comet on Malenia. She probably will dodge 9 out of 10 casts, while she might take all 10 casts from night comet. Bosses who move fast will not take all the hits from star of ruin, so even it has higher damage on mobs who don't move, its effective damage in real fight is much lower.

@@casualgg oh thanks for doing that experiment ! I think there's no doubt that IA not able to see Night Comet is a huge plus for the spell ! However this could mean there's room for doing even more damage in your build shown in this video maybe ? With all your buffs, Star of Ruin could melt bosses even quicker than Night Comet (at least the ones that don't dodge)

We equip black dumpling, madding hand, and Aged one's exultation. If we use incantation such as Howl of Shabriri util madness triggers, we get buffs from these items.

He has 2 of the same staff. They stack buffs to invisible spells which comet is

Need to be at least in NG+ to pick up another or ask someone to drop you one.

@@casualgg thanks!

Maybe a timestamp that I can look at?

Only upgrade the one you will use to cast the spell.

@@casualgg thanks mate !

Definitely it is for real 🙂 I played this build a year ago, and DLC just made it absolutely a beast. After the impenetrable thorns nerf today, this is what I absolutely recommend.

Ng

Thanks! This is in NG+. It was already strong in the base game, even in NG+7 (see the Malenia fight linked in description if interested). For DLC, there is room to further use buffs from white mask and blood lord's exultation, which I didn't use for the final boss fight.

Btw, all the fights, except the DLC Radahn and Elden Beast fights, all used the normal buff at the end of the video. The final bosses used the heavier buff.

​@@casualggthanks for the clarification

Thanks. If you don't have another staff of loss, use one in off-hand and lusat glint stone in another hand (may need more FP). Long buff routine only applied to the final Radahn and the elden beast (the latter doesn't need it I think). Other fights were all using the normal buff.

This is in NG+. There is another comment others tried in NG+9 which still does massive damage.

​@@casualggappreciate the response! I'll definitely have to give it a try

@@GodModeGaming_17 Sure thing. Pretty sure this will not be nerfed, as it stays there forever. Have fun!

​@@casualggquick question, for your demonstration of beloved stardust, which talisman do you recommend as a safe swap out? Aged ones exultation?

@@GodModeGaming_17 Switch aged ones exultation to graven mass talisman. Heavy Buff (for hard bosses) process started at 07:57.

i think that's the guy chewing chips.

It still has room to buff the damage though. While in NG+8, you might want to play more conservatively. I didn't play there, but should be a very good try. Its cast speed and damage win over many builds already. Might need some skill to dodge a little bit more as it may not kill every boss just like NG+.

@@casualgg I tried it and you're right. Definitely need some dodge skills but it still does massive damage

Great! Thanks for letting me know!

They both boost the night comet’s damage

@@casualgg how can i have 2?

@@XELASK82 We need to go to another playthrough to pick up one. It is in Caelid, we can use the teleport from the beginning of the game to get there in like less than 5 min. Or ask some friend to drop you one.

😂

LoL, forgot to neutralize before the bow..

😁

Oh, I don’t know that. Will incantation like howl of shabriri still build up madness?

@@casualgg yeah, it still, but it took me like 5 times cast the spell to get full the bar

That’s the part I didn’t figured out yet. Sometimes it takes 3 and sometimes it takes 5. I feel holding the button may help.

the build is good lol any build you use, radhan will still “not give you a chance” theres nothing you can do to stop him from fighting, just get good

If you are in higher NG plus games, this build still does massive damage, but you probably need some dodge at least. It is not a one-shot build :-)

Correct. This is not a one-shot build.
