On of my favorite playthroughs was a Sister Friede build, with frost mist on one grave scythe, the froststomp on the other grave scythe and some black flame spells to complete the reference to Friede. That was really fun.
For my first playthrough I did Grave Scythe imbued with Frost and Winged Scythe along with godslayer spells. I did this before even playing ds3 and was happily surprised when I ran into Friede lol
my first playthrough of Elden Ring was a faith build where I used the Winged Scythe till Farum Azula, where a friend told me about the blasphemous blade which then replaced it. watching this run just brings back so many memories of my first time exploring the Lands Between, thank you for that
Yeah I used Winged Scythe until Leyndell and a bit further as well, however I had a dps problem because I spread my stats too far and was too hesitant to use my smithing/somber stones
Pretty similar to my first run when I switched from the halo scythe which I had my entire run to the mamas wyrm scalesword when every boss was pretty much immune to holy damage
I really appreciate that for some of the bosses you did multiple ashes of war, or even no ashes of war to really show the weapons off. I remember some people had issues with the daggers only run cuz they felt it was more "glintblade phalanx only". But this was great!
42:52 An all ash of war run would be super fun to watch. It'd also maybe be cool to try out single ashes of war on multiple weapon types just to see how an ash varies from weapon to weapon. Putting spinning weapon blew me away and made me feel dumb for never trying that. A bit off-topic, but imagine a mod where you could put spinning weapon on fist/claw weapons, but instead of the weapons spinning, your character floats like 3 inches off the ground and spins lol
I'm so excited to see what you ended up doing with scythes! I got the Grave Scythe really early by chance, I fell in love, and I've made it my weapon for the run. I'm in Farum Azula now, so this might help me find ways to improve my build before facing the Godskin Duo.
You know what's funny? I've found that one handing the scythe may technically be a bit better because it's actually faster. It's one handed light chain is faster than two handed
There is a way to increase damage on spinning strikes - unlock from the enemy and spin your character the same direction that the weapon spins and you increase the hits by almost 3x
Yeah with the build variety in this game, the buffs that you can apply, the equip-able ashes of war, and how almost every weapon class has at least one BS representative, yeah almost everything can be broken.
@@kode-man23but that's not being 'broken' it's being balanced. The fact that anything can be built to be made good. Just because something is really good doesn't mean it's 'broken', so this term feels very overused.
@@skult227 I just compare the player character to other Souls games. I replayed Bloodborne recently and yeah, most of what you can do in Elden Ring is actually broken. Like, a pretty high percentage of builds can invalidate large portions of this game.
the double jumping attack auto getting the sweetspot, and the spinning weapon interaction are so great. godkiller flame spinn is one of my fav looks. Try it with the vulgar militia saw as well
my second playthrough was duel wielding the grave scythes and it is easily one of my favorites. I had one set up for bleed and the other for frostbite and had spinning weapon on one and spinning strikes on the other and with multi hit set ups they just annihilated everything. I know you can basically get most weapons to do that in this game in some way but it's honestly ridiculous to chunk 1/3 of Godfrey Loux's health bar.... and the power stance jump attack is just ridiculous as this playthrough demonstrates. Honestly a surprising amount of versatility in them
I've not seen the way you dodge water foul in other guides. I got it from watching over and over in slow motion but I'd also watch a guide from you. Also didn't know you can cancel her extremely fast move. Thank God I saw you do that.
Premise for a horror movie: gino goes outside to see the eclipse, leaves his stream up, and never comes back. We watch the world deteriorate outside via his webcam
I really like all of the dragon fights in ER. they follow the conventional progression in games. smarag has another fire attack compared to agheel, ekzykes has rot mist on top of smarags moves, adula has a special sword attack, and borealis is a culmination of all the dragons youve fought. its a little jank if borealis is flying on the cliffs but other than that fantastic fight
Idk if you'll see this Gino but you single handedly sparked my passion to play Elden Ring again. Never did beat the game fully, but I'm determined to git gud and do it now.
Its my GOAT game, there are some frustrating bosses sometimes, but be flexible, try different weapons, and strategies, and try to learn as you fight each boss each time you die. What moves work, what was too slow or too fast? Its very fun game.
@@calebjohnson4167 managed to kill morgott, doing the volcano manor questline now so i can kill rykard. Went with a simple strength build for a first playthrough, using ruins greatsword atm but might switch if i find something better. Also yet to kill mohg but will get to it 💪
You doing twinblades made me switch my main playstyle in my side game in seamless coop. I've been studying the video too and learning to dynamically change ashes of war between bosses for more effectiveness and man its been a blast. I melt the bosses. I've been using your moonblade video to also help my friend optimize his build. I have the distinct impression that the sacred order buff has been patched though since it doesn't seem to increase his damage on the moonblade after switching weapons.
I’ve just started playing this masterpiece of a game, still on my first play through as a samurai and loving it, definitely gonna try a build like this next run!
Sword dance IS the melee ash for scythes. Sacred blade or ring of light are only ranged ones (other than good ol lightning bolt). Scythes need more ranged ashes in dlc.
Gino: Hey guys today I will be beating the game using ____ weapon class. I thought they were bad but turns out they are over powered. Me: *on my 5th Gino machine vid of the day* 😮
6:10 I know its not Limgrave, but I believe there is a somber 2 in weeping to the East of Castle Morne on a chair surrounded by a bunch of jellyfish on a beach
FIIIINALY someone talking about the scythes, people underestimate that weapon so much, im on NG+6 and im still destroying all the bosses, you can have 3 different debuffs if you put poison on one, frost on the other and they have bleed by default
Because pretty much every other bleed normal weapon can do that? They nerfed the attack speed of the reapers awhile back and the great star/omen killer axes have better poise(upside is reapers dont bounce off greatshields or the barricade ash)
I did this a while back, going through the game a few times using only one type of weapon. Sythes were the last ones I did and it was the most fun I had.
I think I'm going to try this after all. I've been experimenting with beginning builds, but this looks the coolest. You inspired me to do a whip build, which I deemed a Kurama build, from Yu Yu Hakusho.
Once i was fighting the spirit godskins, I killed both and then the snail appeared and I was like "oh little bros friends are gone, whatchu gonna do?" And then the snail jumped at me with a grab attack and oneshoted me
my NG+ build was 99 arcane dragon communion with occult grave scythe. its nothing THIS HOT but at the time i felt like i was cooking so hard. the drip and aesthetic was so badass
my first ever playthrough of elden ring was almost entirely scythe only, since i refused to level vigor for no real reason, and so i frequently used the halo scythe ability to bully enemies from far away. it was great. glad other people are slowly starting to use them.
I discovered this from a friend on my first playthrough - if you're going for a dex/faith build you need to farm the halo scythe. Its damage per hit isn't much to talk about, but the weapon art hits like a freight train on steroids when you buff the damage of it. It's one of my favorite weapons to use, albeit one of my least favorite to farm for
When I tried a region-locked Faith build, and eventually met its rather high requirements, I was pleasantly surprised by the Winged Scythe and its unique skill.
GinoMachino: Obliterates Radahn in 15 seconds Also GinoMachino: That was a boss, by the way... But I forgot to do the Milicent quest for even more damage... Also GinoMachino: Blasts Malenia 2 times into Oblivion, and then... "It's good... I mean..." Then he blast Malenia 2 times again into Oblivion... Just for good measure, you know... Also GinoMachino: Dude I didn't even use the Thorny Cracked Tear - I missed out damage!
1:08:00 It was honestly so painful watching this fight lol. Everyone in the chat telling him that he needs to lock on and that it has a follow up, but he never seemed to look over and read it. It reminded me of when I watched my friend play elden ring with the peeler and he shat on the blackflame tornado because he didn't read the description and figure out you can hold it
Btw, skeletons die instantly when the last attack they received that depletes their health HAS to be a gold glowing weapon (sacred blade effect, golden epitaph ash, etc) also can't just be the golden projectile from sacred blade, needs to be the weapons that hits
Fast crouch attack, good reach, good damage, fun power stance moveset with really good jump attack, bleed, good scaling with different stats, decent ashes variety, goes through shields Reapers are just fun man
had a lot of fun dual wielding the Large Axes that give rot on hit. (65) Especially since you can add an ash of war, Rot, Cold, Bleed. Watching the mimic tear go to town on bosses was pretty funny.
The Regular Scythe heavy attack is perfect for hitting dragons. As it's 2 consecutive overhead downwards angled strikes. This makes it perfect for hitting things above you.
I made a dual grave scythe build and just accidentally first phased real mohg. My guy couldn't even nihil, and i wasn't even trying to speed through the fight. Dual heavy grave scythes with the jump attacks really made light work of one of my hardest bosses
Gino, buddy, DS2 made basically every weapon viable, far more than Elden Ring. But you liking Spinning Weapon so much certainly made you my favourite youtuber/streamer. FROM still needs to get back to that level.
I really wish that for the Halo Scythe, either the heavy or quick attack would be replaced with that buff that the Cleanrot Knights cast when they use it. It’d be so damn cool
37:42 the reason "that bleed came so late" is because of bloodflame blade. All blood flame effects are a different bucket of status than bleed affinity attacks. Bloodflame applies a de buff that applies 40 bleed build up over 2 seconds it stacks with every hit. So bleed proccs will come in delayed after the tics. Unlike straight bleed affinity on weapons that's immediately applied when struck
1:17:51 Sacred Order only applies the 100% anti-undead damage bonus to the weapon, for everything else it's only a 10% damage buff (yes it buffs your spells too while you are holding it)
I tried this same challenge a couple of weeks ago, but i didn't allow myself any other armaments other than reapers so i couldn't use incantaions, which makes the challenge way less enjoyable. So watching makes me want to retry the challenge.
With so much symbolism to scorpions in items and crucible spells I hope we get a scorpion fist weapon that alter the fighting style to the martial skill in dlc but I doubt that would happen
My very first build was similar to this, double bleed scythes. Except i made it even more broken and used mimic tear to double the bleed procs. Its a little cheesy but very satisfying.
I really don't think any weapon in the game is overpowered, the real thing enabling any of this will always be the absolutely absurd amount of multipliers you can stack through charms and buffs.
Love the eclipse break. Really sets this video at a moment in time.

On of my favorite playthroughs was a Sister Friede build, with frost mist on one grave scythe, the froststomp on the other grave scythe and some black flame spells to complete the reference to Friede. That was really fun.
Similar to my first experience with scythes, I did a Gehrman build with it and quickstep hahaha, was really fun would recommend
For my first playthrough I did Grave Scythe imbued with Frost and Winged Scythe along with godslayer spells. I did this before even playing ds3 and was happily surprised when I ran into Friede lol
Yeah, my first build was also scythe oriented, dual wielding Halo Scythes or one Halo one wing with black flame incantations.
I love that so much people give credit to Sister Friede. One of the best bosses.
my fav boss of DS3 (and weapon set) i might have to copythis
my first playthrough of Elden Ring was a faith build where I used the Winged Scythe till Farum Azula, where a friend told me about the blasphemous blade which then replaced it. watching this run just brings back so many memories of my first time exploring the Lands Between, thank you for that
I had a very similar experience to you. I ended up using the winged and halo scythe most of the game, the dual wield jump attack was so good.
Yeah I used Winged Scythe until Leyndell and a bit further as well, however I had a dps problem because I spread my stats too far and was too hesitant to use my smithing/somber stones
this is basically exactly how my first playthrough went hahaha
Pretty similar to my first run when I switched from the halo scythe which I had my entire run to the mamas wyrm scalesword when every boss was pretty much immune to holy damage
Same but instead I committed with it and even added the Halo Scythe to dual wield
