@@infernocop60 you can get there super early if you just skip morgit and godrick. just invade 3 times and then go kill the grafted scion and collect blood. super super easy. and i do it every run
@@sempernun1285how do you get Varre to move to the Rose Church in Liurnia w/out beating Godrick. I thought defeating Godrick is what prompts him to move?
One of the best weapons that no one uses is the all knowing scepter, it's ash of war can be exploited if used correctly, you can use that Cracked Magic Tear and Magic scorpion charm to buff it to do 700 dmg on a MACE, and maces are one of the most slept on weapon types, AND The Scepter is the longest, longer than some straight swords even, just have some tanky armor and some buff you can push the dmg to 800, it's insane.
You’re crazy man. Even though you destroyed all the bosses, watching you fight was very satisfying. It’s very obvious you know exactly what you’re doing.
I personally love to use raptor talons for easier to hit charged attacks. With that you can go consecutive hit + charged attack build at the same time!
@@Jordien You jump foward significantly when using charged R2 1 of raptor's talons, and back flip with charged R2 2. Recovery is also short enough for you to spam.
there was a confirmation death sound for the first godfrey fight. it was just immediately after the stance break punish sound. you can hear two sounds go off one after another.
I've been using this combo with Raptor Talons since basically the beginning. It slaps, even before the buffs. Speaking of, the new Claw buff honestly isn't THAT big, I honestly barely even noticed it.
@@infernalflamezz7480 Sort of. For Dex Builds (80 Dex), Raptor Talons outperform any other Claw due to it's higher Dex Scaling. It ends up with very similar AR as the others, but its better Heavy Attacks, better jump attack damage and lighter weight just edges it out. Below 70 Dex, the other Claws beat them in raw damage but Raptor Talons are still a solid pick due to the reasons I mentioned. BH Claws ironically do better with Strength builds. It also has the highest base damage out of all of the claws so also performs well for builds that don't use a lot of stats in general. EDIT: Grammar
somehow some way, the universe brought me here to this video a day after I ranked these weapons up to 25 just to immediately regret and now enjoy them. Thank you.
Great video. Bloodflame is pretty busted, but you had a great sense of humor throughout. Felt like a nice balance, really. Some videos are just too oversatured with not-great jokes and it becomes unfunny, but this was great!
Just yesterday I started a new playthrough because I wanted to try claws for the first time. Did a little bit of running across the map and got myself the raptor talons, because I didnt want to kill Margit in order to get into stormveil for the regular claws. I was very surprised at how much damage they deal on top of the quick bleed procs! I've defeated Margit at around level 20 and it was a breeze. Super fun and quick moveset. 100% recommend trying it out!
Good timing, both for the buff as well as your video since I am just about to start a Claw playthrough. Any particular reason why you went straight for the BloodhoundClaws? Aside from FashionSouls, FashionSouls is always a valid reason (and the BloodhoundClaws do look very sexy) If you go to AtlusPlateau anyway for the weapon you could just as well have gone for the Talons, which are also very stylish. So why the BHC? Genuinely curious.
Good point; I wanted to use Bloodhound Claws since I had them on a coop run with friends a couple months ago, and it was like coming back to an old friend :) Besides, I do indeed not like how Talons look so it was partly a fashion choice.
@@Jordien Makes sense. Myself I think I will go with the hookclaws just because they look like wolverines claws. Only reason. I just want to be wolverine.
@@Jordien I haven't started a new claw build yet, instead I took my naked Level130 fist/boxer guy and gave him the BloodhoundClaws(+BloodflameBlade) and went co-oping down at Malenias place. Jesus Christ BHC just tears her apart as if she were just an average trashmob. And they buffed this weapon in 1.0.9 ? Madness. It is mad op I say.
Great video, gonna try out this build while also mix and matching stuff in new game +. Also, do you watch ymfah? This video's style is reminiscent of his (that's a good thing dw, he's funny lol)
So I made a build that includes using claws and bloodflame blade, but I also have lightning ram on the claws and also cast fire's deadly sin. Try it out and have fun lol.
Hey, mind my asking if the hook claws are a (relatively) equal equivalent to the bloodhound claws in this case? (To be exact, are the hook claws not objectively worse than the bloodhound ones shown here) Been using them to compliment my buckler parry dex build bc crowds+parrying gets JUST a touch too hard for my brain & love how the hook claws feel, but also am worried that I be kneecapping myself by using them over the bloodhound ones
Yes of course go ahead! This build works wonders with any claws, some commenters have pointed out that Hookclaws (found in Stormveil Castle) are a strong contender as well
Man, do you play using mouse and keyboard? I've always thought that doing something like dodging Malenia's waterfowl by circling around her is consistently possible only if you're using a controller, and some other attacks requires moving at specific angle if you want to dodge them without rolling. You are an inspiration
Yes, I do use keyboard and mouse! I've always played Souls games like this. It can make precise movements like circling Malenia's Waterfowl more difficult and increase the risk of pivots, but it compensates with a better camera control. As for specific angles, it's often a matter of unlocking to orientate your character with the camera - which even some controller players do depending on the situation. And thanks!
will you make videos on Lies of P? your fights are just so enjoyable to watch:) you really showcase the potential of bosses' movesets and different creative responses the player is allowed to utilise against them!
I wanted this to be a run using only claws, so what would I've used for Margit? ;) And after entering Stormveil I already had bloodhound claws upgraded, so no need to change
im gonna try my first fists build later today. im redownloading the game cause of this. i have almost 400 hours on the game and never added fists or claws. is strength and dex a good idea. also with blood flame blade and flame grant me strength. are those just good ideas to have on at all times anyway?
This was pretty much my experience on release patch. I can't understand how they thought it's good idea to buff them. This build is not even balanced with 95 freaking dex. With low level. No bonus damage from bleed items. No bluedancer cause you never get hit anyway so can play naked. No rotten sword insignia or milicent prostesis. AND REGARDLESS. Doing op levels of damage. Of course, dodges were on point, but this damage for the clicks needed is just absurd.
Elden Ring players try not to complain about a single perfectly optimized bleed build that is very strong instead of just not using it and having fun challenge (impossible)
Always! I’m used to it for Souls, although I’ve been using kbm discovering Monster Hunter too and my friends keep screaming about how terrible it is haha
You can have been even stronger the whole time.
Jellyfish shield buff works on your back now.
Good point, though that seems to be a glitch (you can even stack the effect if you keep switching the shield from mainhand to offhand and go 20K damage hits like some friends did) and I wanted to keep this run mostly glitchless
@@Jordien You can't stack the jellyfish buff more than once from each hand.
@@Jordien Pretty sure them allowing the buff on your back is what caused the swapping glitch.
@@lamellarm6546 as of 1.09 you can stack jellyfish sheild buffs(one each hand) even if they are unequipped after. Buff only lasts 30 secs tho which I appreciate as an invader
Hopefully that doesn't change, not being able to 2 hand with the jelly shield is idiotic
They were really good in 1.08 too everybody was just sleeping on them
Yea exactly! I downed Malenia in about 50 seconds with them in 1.08, that buff really wasn't needed haha
Maybe they are good, but my Bloody Helice with aberrant sorcerer set is too stylish not to use.
@@aspid164 Fashionsouls trumps all
That's when they buffed the fist-weapon attacks peed, true combo now
Who would've thought putting bloodflame blade on an innate bleed weapon after a recent buff would be borderline broken?
I use blood hookclaws and blood flame blade
Did my guy just do a no hit run with claws? EPIC AF!
It was all fun and jokes until the Godfrey incident ;)
@@Jordien we don't talk about the Godfrey incident
No, no he didn't lol.
@@phulbaks We don't talk about Godfrey
Could also been even more op at the start by netting Varre quest and the blood surgeon mask and blood talisman in capital. Just to be more spicy.
Good idea, I’ll keep that in mind when I do optional bosses in part 2!
@@Jordien PART FRICKING TWO??!?!?! WOOOOOOOHH
Fun fact, if you kill the giant dragon while on Torrent and quickly book it back to Fort Faroth site of grace to rest you can kill them infinitely for at least 50k runes each without gold fowl foot and gold scarab talisman

The normal r2’s hit twice too
the editing on this video is fantastic

That looked like fun. I've been thinking about a claw run, it seems like now is the right time.
there was a confirmation death sound for the first godfrey fight. it was just immediately after the stance break punish sound. you can hear two sounds go off one after another.
Makes sense, I thought I was going insane for a moment
That editing is gold
Thanks, appreciated!
Love the "dont do it" at the end lol
went and shackled Mohg, and gave him the treatment, pretty fun payback.
Good job, he deserved it!
Godfrey phase 1 is the absolute pinnacle of this game.
honestly both phases are equally amazing, what an spectacle
same with Dragonlord Placi, both fights are brilliant spectacles
I'm pretty sure you could have done the same with a club.
I've been using this combo with Raptor Talons since basically the beginning. It slaps, even before the buffs. Speaking of, the new Claw buff honestly isn't THAT big, I honestly barely even noticed it.

I got a +25 raptor claw I've been meaning to use. Now I have even more reason to do so
(0:31) - Me speed running a new character would know Fear in that moment. That giant rat doesn’t play around
As a claw main this brings tears to my eyes
I did my first playthrough with the longer claws, they already were really strong thanks to the really really fast attacks
The editing of your video is great x)
The Item acquiring stuff makes me wish our character spoke occasionally.
Holy shit watching Radahn coming up from over the hill with his massive blades was terrifying.
"Heeere's Radahn!"

The monster hunter voice overs were a good touch haha
Quality content bro! Really need to do another claws run! Enjoyed the shitposting too!
Thanks! And you should yeah they’re amazing fun. Malenia won’t see that one coming ;)
for once, its nice to see a creator who knows how good jumping is at dodging those late game AoE attacks.
Ok, am I the only one who laughed when "Hello Muthaf&cka"?
Think I’ll turn those into strength affinity. Use the claws for fast bleed and have the greatsword for big ol murder swings.
As someone who loves claws in ER, I see this as an absolute win.
I gotta make a wolverine build with high health regen with the physic tear, beasties vitality, and maybe icon shield plus claw weapons
Add the godskins swaddling cloth for hp on successive attacks and Blasphemous blade on your back for hp on kill and you’ll have insane sustain :)

Wow claws have 60 bleed? Not only is that actually so much but bloodflame goes on both making them 100+bonus fire damage woahh
I also hate the buffing. They really need to remove that feature.

Yea claws are strong rn but I must say you are clearly good at the game. Wp!
Thank you!
That.... That's some sick dodges.
I mean yeah...if you rush upgrades, stack buffs, and use bleed/frost literally anything is OP
my first play through was with raptors talons and the cold affinity and it was sm fun
bro almost did a no hit challenge
Seeing this run makes question if the Blue Dancer Talisman is even worth it.
It’s cool for that extra boost in raw damage… but fashion armor though
how do i have over a month in this game but only just found out how to equip claws on both hands
are these the best claws in the game or you can find better ones|?
Should try venomous fang + knight's resolve jump attack 1-hit thing. It did around 3k earlier, wonder how good is it now
