@@killengoth1450yup, so glad I cleared it in the first 3 days it came out. Cuz I was so disappointed I never got to beat the original Radahn before he was nerfed. Was not about to let that happen with this one too
Great video... that journey to get the staff was crazy, but I used this to beat Consort Radahn with a mimic, after failing on him for hours on end. I really wanted to kill him before he got nerfed, so thank you.
Thx for this. I've finally beaten Radahn with this. The DLC difficulty is high but it was manageable on strength build, i beat all bosses without summons or any buffs, but Radahn is a beast that's next to impossible to beat. He's way too op in my opinion especially on NG+4 which i'm on ;)
It took me a couple hours to get everything and to figure out that I did have some stuff but this build is very good thank you for this video I truly appreciate this video
I am currently using an Occult Great Katana build (very fun build) and I just finished Commander Gaius (after like 20+ attempts). I am gonna use this build in NG+ to redeem myself from being beaten multiple times by these bosses. I will have my vengeance. 😆
With this build I have solo’ed every boss.. This sucks because I need a new DLC now. Seriously, great build, very versatile and powerfull. I feel like a pro without actually being one.
If u have 40 dex or higher u can use radagons icon and the increase in speed the other talisman does is so small its not worth using anymore cuz of the damage taken increase
What a great fucking video man. The presentation was flawless and you put so much effort into everything. 10/10. Never forget, you might only be one person to the world but to one person you may be the world :) Have a good one brother.
Thorn build was already pretty powerful before the DLC. Looking forward to trying it out with the DLC stuff. For how powerful the thorn build was, im actually surprised i never seen it get used more. Never been invaded by anyone using it, never invaded anyone using it.
This is literally the first time I've ever heard someone say base game thorn sorceries are powerful. I feel like your definition of powerful may differ from most other people...
@@kurrupoppo6937 That's not necessarily true. For example, has the player leveled vigor? Have they got decent defenses? And even with high damage, how reliably can you pull off these one shots? I mean the thorn sorceries are SLOW, even with max cast speed, so you're definitely gonna have a hard time hitting a half decent player who's paying attention. I'm genuinely interested if you've got some galaxy brain tactics or build that brings out their true power, but if you're relying on your opponent's low health and inexperience, that's not power.
@@richardhandcock it's all about just getting the timing down, if you can bait them into the first animation of briars of sin they won't survive the full 3. It's honestly not that hard. 80 faith and two staff of guilty. Magic scorpion charm, magic shrouding cracked tear. The alberich set obviously. Use golden vow and howl of shabriri. You just have to bait. I love it when it can get a whole squad with one full animation lol.
@@KimoChaser oh okey..thank you for the information... for me, i increase arcane for the bleed proc and the staff to increase the spell damage so faster reduce the target HP hehe
This build is great, but now my goofy mimic spends the whole boss fight buffing itself instead of helping me fight 😂 ill try summoning it with the rivers of blood in hand
I have to confess this is actually how I defeated the final dlc boss on my first playthrough lol. I didn’t have to much trouble with any boss except for maybe messmer but the final boss is ridiculous
I'm trying to use this strat right now, I know I sound stupid but how do you hit him with Impenetrabable Thorns in Phase 2 when he's focusing you hard then splitting focus between you, your summon, and mimic.
Honestly use the heaviest armour you have and use the verdigris discus and iron jar aromatic it'll make it alot easier but its still hard but that's how I beat mine
I'm surprised that the maternal staff isn't stronger than the Albinauric staff. But bleed build up is faster??? I don't really notice any difference. I hope this isn't a mistake that FromSoftware will correct. It took me hours to get this staff.
This build like any Bleed build is weak against status effect immune enemies like the Flower Boss. I did beat it though by aiming at the flower head because the Boss takes more damage that way.
@@KimoChaser ok do explain to me why the last boss of the DLC has 100% dmg neg from its back sometimes side n front with this thorn build..............im soooo close of giving up the game
@@IsThatKris ok now I have a problem with the last boss.......the guy don't take dmg when I'm behind him at all.....when I have npcs n he neg more dmg from the front n side at about 50%....now when my clone killed him it didn't fking count.......now wtf can I do.......u tell me ok I'm using a thorn build which can kill him really quit IF he does take dmg AT ALL
How does bleed buildup work and scale with sorceries? Staffs have no bloodloss-stat.. does it only scale with arcane (but hidden), because arcane is the only stat that increases bloodloss buildup on weapons too?
The spell causes bloodloss, the spell is power tied to a staff, when you raise arcane with an arcane weapon, it unlocks the hidden bleed build up and increases it
Here is a way to jump from a standing position without having to run (using a controller): Jump in place, then immediately hold down the run button (for XBox/PC, it's A, then hold down B). Next, push the stick forward and jump while still holding down B. If you do it correctly, you will perform a jump as if you were running.
I apologize for spoiling things for you, my friend. I will try to be more careful in my future content. It just this particular boss has been chewed up and spit out by most streamers and content creators so I thought it was ok to show him as well as the Divine Beast. Anyway, I do hope you have a great day and enjoy Shadow of the Erdtree.
I believe it's an unfavorable combination. Firstly, the Bloodsucking Tear enhances your attack power, which impacts the base damage of Impenetrable Thorns but not its bleed build-up or the blood loss effect-the most potent aspect of this build. Secondly, the Bloodsucking Tear will quickly deplete your HP while active. Coupled with the health loss from using Impenetrable Thorns, this creates a challenging situation to manage for minimal benefit.
I'm playing arcane build, know nothing about sorc builds, so I can be off by a mile, but due to occasional need in sorcery, I've gotten Albinauric staff. It only needs 10 Int and at +25 it scales B Int and S Arc, so in my case it's 296 scaling. Gonna test it, hope it's a good staff for this particular build.
of course i chose to get all the wrong shit from the remembrances, got the colossal weapon instead of the staff, wp i guess, same shit with the irises got the spirit ash instead of the katana😤
I have to say im getting pretty annoyed by those one sided comments re thorns "let's nerf it". Yes, against bosses it's incredibly strong. But for the overall playthrough / overland / world exploration its actually pretty dull. My night comet build was way faster for those activities. People watch boss videos with full round of buffs and scream "nerf it" 😮😅
You should be able to buy all the smithing stones of both kind except the 10s, go get the bell bearings in the base game, spend a couple million on stones and you'll upgrade anything you want to try out to +24 or +9 before you even swing it.
Insane build, will definitely use this for my next DLC playthrough. But first let me get that last boss..
He’s the last boss of the dlc I have to do, I’ve done everything else and I have to say I’m a little scared to try
Itll be nerfed by then.

Great build, helped me finally beat Radahn. I think it’s worth going to 14 strength for 1h occult great katana and beast claws.
Between you and me, I really have no love for the new Great Katanas. The only one I really enjoyed was the Rakshasa's Great Katana.
@@KimoChaserI totally understand, it’s nice for weapon variety though. Blood tax is solid on the great katana and beast claws are fun to use.
Very interesting build. Maybe I have to look into other bleed guides to optimize it for my playstyle. But I never used thorn spells. Thanks!
having two staves of the guilty equipped one in each hand will stack the buff

It lasted much longer than anticipated.
Is it build was not OP again ? I use this in patch 1.13 and it just 3-4 hit to give 6K damage
