I'm currently running a strength build & I just wanted to let everyone know if you have 35 endurance & add radagons soreness with the great jar talisman your equipment load will go to 100.
Malekith's Black Blade is also and fantastic colossal sword, as is the incantation. Scales at B for strength and faith at +10 and it's weapon art breaks poise incredibly easily, deals a ton of AoE damage all around the player while also inflicting a 2-3 second DoT. Highly recommend! Also, for the great jar arsenal, if you're having a lot of trouble there is a way the cheese it. Basically to the right of the summons there's a big tree branch that goes off the cliff. If you're careful, you can stand on the end and (most) of the summons will try and leap attack you and yeet themselves off the cliff and die. It was fun fighting them, but if you're just having a hard time it's an option.
4:46 You dont need to defeat Radahn to get the ruins greatsword, you have an entrance on the back of the castle ! After the cathedral of dragon or caelid catacombs site of grace go into the castle direction and after you beat the giant and the balistas jump on the right side of the clift and go around the wall and you find an entrance , i got there and get the wepon way before Radahn .
Nightrider Glaive. Halberds have always been a solid staple for strength builds in every Souls game, and Elden Ring is no different. Black Knight Halberd in DS and DS3, Mastodon Halberd in DS2.
The halberd from the Tree sentinel is very good. It's fast and does a lot of dmg. Sadly the UGS in elden ring are way slower than in other souls games. Or the enemies are way faster here. idk.
Bit of an unexpected one, but broadsword. It scales surprisingly well with strength (I get more damage from ashes+ strength than from the same points in dex or qualy). The real party begins when you powerstance it (with another broadsword preferably, but any other straight sword with decent strength scaling will also do). I do the same numbers of damage as with my giant crusher, but in like half the time. The DPS lets me eat through bosses like they're nothing. Also, no other stats investments needed. Poor everything into Strength vigor and endurance
I literally just used fingerprint shield in left hand & lightning bolt in right hand to easy solo malenia. There's tonnes of easy ways to deal with her tbh
Ruins Greatsword is a lot of fun! I missed it in my initial playthrough due to triggering the festival and not realizing there was supposed to be a boss there, but just played through NG+ with it and fell in love. Literally just took down Malenia with it today.
You can cheese the enemies at the jar. On your left you will see a tree branch. Jump on it to the edge. The phantoms will jump off the cliff and heres your reward great jar
For the great jar's arsenal you can easily cheese the 3 npc fights. To the right of the 3 red summon signs(while facing the jar) there is a white tree branch hanging over the cliff, if you start a summon sign then go jump on the branch you can bait the npc's to run attack or jump attack at you and they will fall to their deaths, you will need a strong shield so they don't knock you down(i used the turtle shield with it's weapon skills on).
@@DavidGarcia-pi9wn They are easy if all you do is poke them or use a great shield... Until you get 1-2 shotted with 40 vigor. Which is BS for how much hp they got
Tbh if you’re using a shield you’re already at a disadvantage, it’s a crutch for more inexperienced players to be fair by the time I fought then I was level 120 strength build with very light armor Gargoyle halberd+24 @66 strength 2 hand I image they would be incredibly tough at anything under 100 unless you’re a mage then it’s easy or cheesing Whenever I get invaded by players with shields it’s a cake walk because they can only block me once or twice before I break guard then crit These characters were different since they had like 10k health each
Dual-wielding heavy strength weapons like hammers can dish out a lot of damage. Bloodhound step ash of war allows me to dash like in bloodborne and it's impossible to get hit with bosses attacks while using this ash of war. Once u find all whetblade, this ash of war will have heavy scaling/affinity. Strength weapons are great, but the real damage comes from dual-wielding 2 of them. Also a lot of fire ash of war have heavy affinity and scales strength up. Other strength weapons are also great like club, greataxe or greatsword but a lot of weapons have other attributes requirement. Hammers, club etc only have strength requirement and they scale with strength only
I dont know much about strength builds but I definitely want to do one as my 2nd build. I wanna do a build that can hit supper hard while being able tank a ton of dmg. If I remember correctly I think some of the best shields require a lot of strength too
Slow & heavy but staggers almost anything from 1 hit. I suggest to atk only twice since they likely will dodge the 3rd atk. When I break their poise (when they kneel or fall down) I always do 2 charge strong atk since that will do more dmg than a critical. A great one/two handed weapon is the Great Stars since in cause blood loss, heals you with each hit you land & can be buffed with fire, magic, lightning etc etc. The Morningstar would be a good option early game since it build up blood loss & can be buffed.
@@Gamfluent I have 17 end & have the Great Stars, Brass Shield, 2 Lordsworn's straight sword, Short bow, Commoner's headband, Prisoner shirt & pants, Blessed Dew, Axe & Green Turtle talisman and still in med load no problem. Some ashes of war help me with poise so that's not a problem either. Eventually I'll go to 40 end if I have some level to spend but it's not something that bothers me. Armor in this game it's like its predecessor... fashion only since defense on stuff ain't that important. Still I think it only depends on the playstyle of the player🤷♂️
The Rotten Axe with Prelate's Charge ash of war is pretty nice. Buff it with Bloodflame and you'll proc bleed with the multiple ticks of damage. It seems the residual fire trails can also proc the bleed from Bloodflame. Flame grant me strength is a good buff to use with it. You can use it without FP (minus the fire) to get the charge and proc Scarlet Rot.
I Saw all your videos for monster hunter and learned how to play hammer with all your tips, then iceborne and now I found your video for elden ring! Love your videos!
Rusted Anchor. It has a hammer moveset, a reasonable strength requirement, slottable, and a wide hurtbox. It does pierce damage, and does great upgraded. Nice backup weapon
I think the golden halberd deserves a mention for pve at least. The skill is nothing special but it hits like an absolute truck, and is typically a bit faster and longer reaching than the big str weapons. I'm trying to find something to replace it with and just can't.
Yep! I’ve tried nearly everything in this video and I keep going back to the golden halberd. It hits harder and swings faster than any of the big hammers or swords… just doesn’t have a cool special.
Agreed, its my go-to weapon. It doesn't have a fancy special or interesting movelist... but its sheer damage, poise break, range and versatility makes me choose it over the other weapons, especially when paired with my tower shield!
You actually don’t need to kill the golems. I did this last night and I kept dying to the adversaries and had to keep going back through that valley so I wanted to see if there was a quicker way. If you sprint on torrent towards the first golem’s feet before he shoots, he’ll miss. Then you want to move to the right side of the cave till the second one shoots and hit the wall. Then dash towards the feet of the second one and it’ll miss as well. Then you want to dash up the hill towards the left side where there are huge rocks and tree roots in the ground. They’ll block any following shots. And once you’re up the hill, the second golem will still try to shoot you but they’re a branch that blocks it (be careful though because the arrow has a curve To it and if you’re on the far left, it’ll swerve and hit you) After about a minute I think, the golem doesn’t bother you anymore. I don’t bother waiting though, I just start the duels once I’m up there. As long as you’re not far left, you’ll be fine
In my experience, the golem stays aggroed for a very long time, but you can just save-quit and reload to reset aggro and not have to worry about arrows at all
@@lycaon7871 over near Ordina in the secret part of the giant mountains. Dont remember exactly where but a little ways north of that there is a duelist that uses it, thatll drop it

@@wire292 That's the case with all Faith based weapons as far as I've seen U kinda don't need it for them tho, the sword I mentioned has both physical and Blackflame by default, better than having to reapply weapon buffs imo
The Ruins Greatsword has a charged special attack. I've been wondering which of these is the best overall option, and I can't quite make up my mind. So far, the Greatsword is my weapon of choice, though that may only be because I was able to upgrade it first. Double Greatsword does seem like a wonderful option though.
You could go Greatsword Zwiehander if you don't want to wait for NG+. You should still get the powerstance because they are both colossal and the zwiehander doesn't weigh nearly as much.
@@JohnSmith-oz6lm Currently, I've found that the Ruins greatsword has the highest AR and a very good ash of war skill. Tried powerstance with that and my lvl 25 Cold greatsword and doing jumping L1 attacks, but since I'm not one-shotting everything, I decided to stick with my Ruins Greatsword and a greatshield.
I was still in limgrave and had a lot of stat points in grinding the giant guy outside of the third church of marika and I literally could’ve had these weapons weeks ago
It's good with A- scaling when upgraded enough... just remember that weapon ash of war is fixed but the animation is cool tho Edit: Just checked and weapon scale with Str is B when fully upgraded..my bad
I am on level 150, Strength Build, Giant crusher +20, Royal Knight's Resolve Ash of War, but I am unable to defeat the 3 warriors in a row for the Great Jar talisman. The 3rd one defeats me no matter which order I follow. I am able to destroy bosses, but even the game's in build NPC invasion are a struggle. I get why the community has so much hate for Strength build because taking this build is not only the unofficial hard mode, but its bad in pvp and the wind up with the heavy weapons and the damage, etc. Its not fulfilling.
Occult giant crushers, commanders standard skill, raptors feather chest, flame grant me strength, rkr and jump claw talisman equals an easy 6000+ every jump attack.
Using a strength build, Can you dual wield 2 great swords with starscourge great sword? Or is that bad? Been riding 2 great swords up to now and love the damage… other options was using giant crusher + prelates inferno…but I do enjoy wearing pants lol. Thanks
For my strength and Greatshield build i've been using the Lordsworn's Straight Sword, get it very early on, currently have it at +22, currently over in the snowy area having already beat pretty much everything else up to that point.
I finally made a str ish character, but was hoping to use faith enchanting on a bleed weapon... but practically all the bleeds i've ever seen are mostly dex scaling XD tho i've only everbeaten up to Rennala, so obv i know little about the rest of the game and the drops XD
There's weapons like the Morning Star and Great Stars. You do need to get to the Atlus Plateau for the Great Stars. Though I think str builds will always lose out to dex builds when it comes to bleed. Bleed just works better if you are hitting a lot and very fast. Though you can use some Ashes of War like Wild Strikes on the Great Stars for better bleed accumulation, though they might be some better Ashes you can use.
OK I cannot find that caravan for nothing how do you go south from that Grace point south is backed through the gate where the two nights or on horseback
Can someone tell me how he is using two strength weapons and utalising both? For example: i have a great sword and tree sentinel axe but when i do that heavy jump attack it uses only the main hand weapon. The right handed weapon. The left handed weapon just stays there not used. Is there a reason behind that?
Yes, the reason for that, is that he’s using two of the same type of weapon. It’s called “powerstance” and can only be done with two of the same weapon type. You cannot powerstance with a great sword and an axe. You would need to equip two great swords, or two axes in order to utilize both weapons.
@@friendlyneighborhoodcollec5928 oooh. Honestly thanks saviour. You are that guy that saves someone in reddit years ago. Was not even expecting a reply and got one so thanks a lot for taking the time to reply.
I don't consider myself a good player but I've been using the Golden Halberd. It wasn't that amazing at first, but I managed to find Iji and some high leveled somber smithing stones which let me get it to +6 fairly early. It was one/two-shotting a lot of mobs in the Liurnia area. I've been trying out the Great Stars. It seems to have pretty good strength scaling at heavy, and it has lifesteal and bleed. Using wild strikes at the onset of some fights allowed me to melt some of the minor bosses.
OK the description on where to get that giant hammer is terrible how do you go south from that Grace point? In order to go south you must go back through the gates don’t think you’re talking about south terrible description terrible I just went to this checkpoint and went South I went back through the gate I knew it wasn’t through there because there’s no little camper with a caravan in it I meanI tried southeast southwest there is no hammer I even went north north west north east no hammer so I would love to know where you are talking about

im running a 50str/36 going on 38 faith with the Trolls hammer
For my strength and Greatshield build i've been using the Lordsworn's Straight Sword, get it very early on, currently have it at +22, currently over in the snowy area having already beat pretty much everything else up to that point.
Literally my exact build and was worried i was being too basic haha
I finally made a str ish character, but was hoping to use faith enchanting on a bleed weapon... but practically all the bleeds i've ever seen are mostly dex scaling XD
tho i've only everbeaten up to Rennala, so obv i know little about the rest of the game and the drops XD
There's weapons like the Morning Star and Great Stars. You do need to get to the Atlus Plateau for the Great Stars.
Though I think str builds will always lose out to dex builds when it comes to bleed. Bleed just works better if you are hitting a lot and very fast. Though you can use some Ashes of War like Wild Strikes on the Great Stars for better bleed accumulation, though they might be some better Ashes you can use.
I personally like dueling the good old claymores
How does heavy strength stack against bleed in ng+
Torn between these two builds after finishing a blasphemous blade play through.
OK I cannot find that caravan for nothing how do you go south from that Grace point south is backed through the gate where the two nights or on horseback
Brick hammer carried me thru my first playthrough
How to use that spell in the Ruins Greatsword? Is it an ash of war? Thx
Where did you get that amazing outfit?
Personally I have 99 strength and 75 health at the moment trying to max out all stats but anyways I use dual wield grafted swords
I like to use the claymore with lions claw ash of war if there are groups i use godricks axe
If there are groups, I just single hand and use light attack as the sword has a left to right wide attack.
YESSSS, My single brain cell appreciates this so much
Attribute Scaling Strength for Starscourge Greatsword a C? I believe mine is 6 or 7 + and it's only a D. How?
Grafted blade greatsword is also a good one
Can someone tell me how he is using two strength weapons and utalising both? For example: i have a great sword and tree sentinel axe but when i do that heavy jump attack it uses only the main hand weapon. The right handed weapon. The left handed weapon just stays there not used. Is there a reason behind that?
Yes, the reason for that, is that he’s using two of the same type of weapon. It’s called “powerstance” and can only be done with two of the same weapon type. You cannot powerstance with a great sword and an axe. You would need to equip two great swords, or two axes in order to utilize both weapons.
@@friendlyneighborhoodcollec5928 oooh. Honestly thanks saviour. You are that guy that saves someone in reddit years ago. Was not even expecting a reply and got one so thanks a lot for taking the time to reply.
why don't people talk about the fallingbeast mandible heavy weapon?? It classifies as a strength weapon as well.
Its has bad strength scaling and cannot be infused
Can't stop using the classic zweihander
What about the bloodhound sword?
you should re-edit your footage of prelate. patch 1.03 changed its FP drain
Thanks
You didn’t link that guts weapon ?
I went to get the guts great sword but was attacked by the bird and it auto opened the chest but no item
what armor are you using
How does one get 2x Starscouge?
New Game Plus or duplicate Radhans Power of Remembrance in the building that walks around once you have got it to drop down.
Did you not link your video??
Cant believe my baby, the zweihander isn´t here TT_TT
Someone pls tell me i can rahdans greatsword because i used his thing to get runes i did not know i could get a greatsword what do i do
you can duplicate rememberances.. look up how to do that then you can get it
I open the chest, but it's empty. Why won't the giant crusher spawn?😭
how do you get 2 of the star scourge blades????????
Defeat radahn twice
Why you don't make top long range weapons in elden Ring
Why aren't you 2handing those weapons in the "showcase" ?
I'm running a STR/FTH build and using the magma wyrm's scale sword and it has been pretty great
Shit I want that armor fit where you get that
Wrong Guts sword in the pic mah boi. The one in the game is from the Golden age
I don't consider myself a good player but I've been using the Golden Halberd. It wasn't that amazing at first, but I managed to find Iji and some high leveled somber smithing stones which let me get it to +6 fairly early. It was one/two-shotting a lot of mobs in the Liurnia area.
I've been trying out the Great Stars. It seems to have pretty good strength scaling at heavy, and it has lifesteal and bleed. Using wild strikes at the onset of some fights allowed me to melt some of the minor bosses.
Happy Saturday my fellow 90s bro! How are you doing Dude? (90s talk)
Dual Magma Blades
OK the description on where to get that giant hammer is terrible how do you go south from that Grace point? In order to go south you must go back through the gates don’t think you’re talking about south terrible description terrible I just went to this checkpoint and went South I went back through the gate I knew it wasn’t through there because there’s no little camper with a caravan in it I meanI tried southeast southwest there is no hammer I even went north north west north east no hammer so I would love to know where you are talking about
Why always colossal?
Cause they do big damage and scale with strength
Whats the drip?
Wait, so the giant jar summons 3 actual players?
Nope it's 3 npc duels
So why'd he say it's easier offline🤔? I'm confused.
@@RPGeenius my point, its kind of a weird thing to say
Because it seems to pick from player loadouts (other players). So if you’re online you’ll be playing NPCs with player equips.
@@Hartbreak1 yeah but offline you will get the player equips last spawned. They wont change but if you got an op loadout in the group it can still be very hard to beat all three summons
