This is the most comprehensive faith guide I have seen. I have collected pieces of this info from other websites, but no one has organized it into a coherent guide like you did

Absolute game changer, I was getting frustrated with not having any good incantations early game but this is exactly what I needed as a faith based caster. 10/10

Tip I wish you mentioned: To cast spells from horseback you need to move the seal to your right hand. Really had a hard time with that Golden Knight lol

I've got over 200 hours on my faith caster so I kinda just watched this for fun. I'm impressed by how well done this guide is. Good work!

My favorite early game armor and weapons are the full chainmail set and morning star with a Sacred Blade ash on it and the Cipher Pata on swap. I can stay at base endurance and focus on pumping faith to 30 and vigor to 25 early game and slaughter everything while capping strength at 12.

Greta video. I found it really hard to find good spells and weapons at first this is going to help new players a lot

this is still an amazing guide 2 years later however i wanted to share two notes i learned over time. 1. I personally recommend the stone sword keys as your keepsake. you get two of them, meaning you can IMMEDIATELY open the fringefolk hero'es grave... why would you do this ohhh i dunno... dragon runes, dragon communion seal, a golden seed off the boss, banished knight oleg as a summon, a greatbow, the erdtree favor talisman and another stonesword key. yeah you get a lot. 2. also also, put just two points into arcane and you can use the basic dragon spells, and guess what talisman finally works with dragon breath attacks? that's right, the roar medallion 3. speaking of states, put one point into strength and you get access to most maces and especailly the morningstar, put wildstrikes on that with bloodflame blade and thank me later. 4. speaking of weapons, if you want to rely more on spells for damage (who can blame you catch flame is awesome, btw also cheap in the faith requirement and the fire damage scales off your faith so dont worry about low arcane), put ENDURE on your weapon, lets you trade with all of your spells

Important to remember, each state has brake points, after which they give reduced benefits, so do some searching before sinking all your hard earned runes in to a single stat.

Absolutely perfect. Clearly showing where and how to get each thing and explaining why you chose those things to be important early. Thank you!

In the ailing village in the weeping peninsula there’s a really good spell there as well. Might want to check that one out

I cant believe im level 80 and didnt even know there was an area north of godricks castle -.-

Perfect timing with this upload was just binging your other videos, i think faith is as fun as its ever been in the fromsoft catalogue

Oh my goodness, I needed this video. I'm new to the franchise and started as a Prophet but am doing it all wrong! Thank you so much. Subscribed!

another tip for fighting that knight crouch walk behind him and use the poison gas spell. he wont attack and poison him then back stab. if you have a bleed weapon do that 2. and people trying to do this the cypher pata does not have any weight into it. so you can use bronze shield with baracade on it. and another sword to enhance it with holy use the regen spell 2

This is absurdly helpful, I was headed this direction with my build and the lightning and extra memory slot knowledges are gonna be huge upgrades.

how do you aim the lightning spear? i can never hit my target lol

Awesome build!! Btw can you play it with confessor? Or do I have to start over? (Please say I can play it as confessor)

That faith weapon kinda sucks

awesome vid! any chance at making the ideal build vid for a hybrid between int/fai ? if so much appreciated :D

You don't need to kill the invader to get that faith based weapon just jump down and run to the right and grab it. The invader will still come kill you byt he takes forever and you get the thing.

How do you wear this armor with so little endurance? I cant hardly put anything on because of heavy load :/

Hey I just wanted to ask if I can transition to a more dex build after following this tutorial in the later half of the game?

I've completed the game and didn't even realise you could jump off that balcony at 5:00 ffs lmao

Great guide, but why can't I throw fire spell while on my horse, I have to get off to do so,

Finally, a detailed video on where to get Prophet spells and gear! Thank you!

Beating the Golden Knight is.. I dont get it. He one shots me and I cant target for crap with that fire spell

thanks heaps CRPG Bro - i'm now building momentum in the game, enjoying my boss & creature encounters more with these spells and set up as prophet. followed a lot of your set ups in your videos! much appreciated. clear details and easy to follow.

Do you need an certain item to use the fire and lightning bolts while on a horse riding?

Good video, when people that do walkthroughs instead of showing the paths they take they cut out the part of exactly how to get there especially when you teleported to the dragon burnt ruins to go into the mine, you didn't show the part to get the talisman you automatically cut to the talisman. Edit; (He has a separate video how to navigate the mine).

Oleeee gracias, una pregunta... I try in english: When i start, i got only one slot to talisman. Who i got 2 or more slots? Oh and big hug from spain

Faith arcane is the real game changer. people sleeping on this build still.

So my experience getting the incantation talisman was that running straight through would get me killed 9/10 times... i had ot end up killing a couple of the centipede guys with lightning spear... so i guess it COULD be done at the start but damned if i know how to do it. Everytime i go for the ladder on the side of the building the centipede below would just one shot me. So i have zero idea how you managed to get up that ladder without getting wrecked--- but kudos to those who did it at the start.

Can I have these spells while holding a STR based weapon? And I would electrify it? And if I do that so, should I start with Prophet or Confessor?

I’d also like to add, if anyone wants to know just how good the catch flame incantation is: I’ve used it solely to kill every boss I’ve encountered all the way up to godrick. I’m talking ulcerated tree spirit, tree sentinel, crimson knight, blood hound knight, etc… it’s a very powerful spell and if you time it right, you can also just ride around on horse spamming it at enemies.

I wished you showed exactly where you where to fight that guy at 6:02....

How do you allocate your stats for say the first 40 levels?

Do you think weapon like the winged scythe is usefull for the prophet build ?

which seal is the better one for this particularly build --> finger seal or godslayer?

My game just crashed and uninstalled it itself off PlayStation 4

Personally, Lightning Strike is my fav early aoe, a lot easier (and fun) to get. It's in weeping peninsula, behind the tunnel (not through)

Early dragon spells are amazing specifically the scarlet breath it’s Been a great source of damage cast and use a whole blue bar on boss then wack it’s health down it does a good bit of damage and the rot of course

How do you cast from Torrent? It's grayed out for me and I can't cast.

I cant use my first spell on horse back

One thing I found to note is the sacred blade ash of war found near caelid giving you faith scaling on a desired weapon and a holy damage buff

Why can't I cast my fireball while I'm on my donkey?

how did you manage to go in the second zone without going into the castle? Nice Video btw!

Early dragon spells scarlot rot is OP you can proc scarlet rot on bosses run around and they die. I havent even went into the first castle yet but i wss able to defeat the magma dragon with it on a low lvl😊

I can’t cast while on horseback??

Lol got trapped on that boss with 50k

for a better set I used Champion Armor set. Sold by Nomadic Merchant at Caelid South.It has a decent protection and light weight to be able to agile.

bro spam catch flame when u dodge a attack catch flame is OP!!!

Thanks so much this video was very helpful. Normally I hate using guides on first playthroughs but I just can't do it with Elden Ring. I am completely lost haha

I disagree with you pouring points into faith like that so early. You need to have 20 vigor to get past Margit. It’s not 100% true for everyone, but most players will get fucked by most bosses in the early area without building vigor up. It’s also fun to play around with the dragon communion spells with this build style.

What armor set do you suggest for a strength/faith build ??

Thank you so much for your video, really a appreciate it!!!

dude you are awesome thanks bro!

I know the game is new, but does it not feel harder than any other game in every way? I would say bloodborne’s DLC bosses rival elden ring’s tougher bosses, but even Margit felt somewhat difficult at level 7 when I killed him and same with Godrick at like level 20

Very good guide, no cheese no cheats or going to extreme skips thru the maps. Best faith guide for early game

I can’t cast incantations on horseback anyone know why

I watch with subtitles and they get wild around the time you start describing the lightning spells. The honed bolt will now forever be called Hornet Boat in my house 😂 it sounds terrifying.

Big help. This game is massive and I need the help!

Amazing guide, helped allot. The one thing still eluding me is how to get gear that doesnt make me overweight or should i spend some levels on endurance aswell?

Lol why not just get 13 arcane kill the old dragon and buy some nice incarnations from the 5 dragon hearts in the dragon church east

Oh one thing... In south zone, when you start, you see Morne castle... Well, if you go to left zone in one ruins, you can pick a scyte wing, one faith weapon. 16 strengh 16 dex and 24 faith

One thing: gaol is pronounced jail, lol

Um..so starting with prophet and two handing a rusty sword isn't optimized?

Could you just not be bothered to get the map so people could have a clear view of where to go? lol

So, I am following this awesome guide, and ran into something very odd...I can't cast Flame Sling from horseback (trying to kill golden knight). The minute I mount up, the spell icon goes dark, and pretty much nada. I certainly don't have this issue on my Astrologer, so I'm at a complete loss as to what's going on. It's kind of brought the whole process to a screeching halt :) EDIT: oh, FFS, the caster thingee has to be in your right hand to use it on horseback. Seriously?? lol

this video is very useful, you deserve my sub and like !! which stats need to be increased? faith and strength?

Nice! I'm going to see if I can adapt this to the confessor & maybe swap out the patas for the coded sword.

Can I use the all the pyro spell with Astrologer?

This is the best elden ring video I've seen so far. Could you make a similar one for mid game too?

Imo most important to get on char creation is cracked pot there are only x much so

Thanks for this. Being playing the Prisoner SpellBlade that rocks. But was thinking about the "other" side of magic 🙂 What do you do if / when u out of mana and out of potion ? Can you melee do any damage ? Might give it a try for 30-40 level to get a feeling of the class. For a Little break from Prisoner, play her to much 🙂 All you the first youtube i watch using spell like this, That what look interessant. Thanks kindly.

you should have added a third memory stone, using a shortcut to Liurnia, you can just ride there and pick it up. It's on the left arm of Liurnia in a big tower. It's a fun journey, no bosses along the way

My question is, should seers / incantation builds use bulky armor? Or should they just focus on cloth? If not cloth what types of armor is good?

Dude, that is awesome as heck. Beaten the game with an INT build and now want a FTH/ARC dragonmage build and had no idea where to start. THANK YOU. Awesome starter guide. 😃

im amaze of how honest and clear this guide is, some will show a build dmg with a +6/+10 wep on an early enemy without telling.. this guide literally a guide without breaking the fun of the game and realistic dmg output (which shown me how 30 faith works).. kudos man im subbing now

thank you for this, soo many helpful youtube guides that said early game where actually super hard early mid game stuff that i just could do, after watching this i literally managed to go and collect all this stuff, thanks for making a noobs journey easier!!

great info if a little difficult to follow. You tend to skip through HOW to get to places sometimes. Cheers and thanks for the video.

I'd say one spell to definitely get if you're going faith build is the rot breath dragon incantation and the upgraded version. It can apply scarlet rot which does a stupid amount of damage over time I'm talking like 3k-4k with one proc/use of rot breath

Thank you for showing how to get all of them, you are amazing!

I have a question and I’m hoping at least someone can answer this but how do you get 2 slots for the talisman/medallions

Very helpful video

Why don't you use swords and instead of the pata

one tip i dont know if anyone has commented but when you fight the night u can lure him in abit in the trees area where the monster on the boat u can summon your minions to help tank up damage

I'm really liking faith builds. I have a "paladin" in my confessor. Now I want I want a prophet. So before I make one, you recommend HP to 15, then pump faith to 25? This helps alot. Some other guys show their end game character with perfect stats and best in slot gear. But their videos didn't help me. Thanks for the video! This helps.

Hey, nice vid. I got a question btw. If I level up my seal and thus increase the scaling with faith, will it boost the damage on incantations ?

Would have been so much easier to follow if he had the map

Honed bolt is really good in water. Example 17:35. It has a bigger aoe.

Best guide. Thx

Hey man. Can you please let me know what are you wearing in the video. Cheers!

The rotten breath dragon spell is pretty good and doesn't require much faith

Do you have to beat the storm veil castle first to get to the knight with the lightning powers?

Super handy video. Great explanations, great time stamps, great content - very much appreciated!

My Prophet is SET now👏👏great guide

5:16 the prophet? seems like the wolverine

Do anyone know why the first talisman doesn’t spawn for me?

Is winged scythe any good for a faith build?
