  • This video shows you how to get very powerful with mage in Elden Ring and the best thing is you can start doing this extremely early in the game. We go over sorceries, build, staff, gear, summons, tips, extra buffs and everything you essentially need to know to dominate any and every boss in Elden Ring. Also, this way mage becomes much more than just spamming glintstone pebble and makes it incredibly fun to play in Elden Ring. Enjoy!

    For people coming back like me, a summary:
    - Pick Golden Seed or Crimson Amber Medallion
    - Stats priority: INT (>70) > MIND > VIGOR
    - Buy Carian Slicer (for melee range) and Glintblade Phalanx (for some situations) from Sorceress Sellen (for the latter you could also get its AoW variant from Rogier's Rapier)
    - Meteorite Staff @5:33 (S scaling with INT)
    - Rock Sling Spell @6:48 (enhanced by the Meteorite Staff)
    - Get the Lone Wolves Ashes (I would also suggest another tanky summon for slower enemies, like Lhutel the Headless)
    - Go to Main Caria Manor Gate, farm enemies for a Lazuli Glintstone Sword
    - Beat Loretta for the Loretta's Greatbow Spell
    - Get both spells (13k Runes total) from the turtle at Church of Vows @9:20
    - Get Memory Slots: 1 from Ranni's Rise @10:00 at the top of the tower; 1 from the quest at Oridys's Rise @10:09; 1 from the Converted Tower @10:18; 1 after killing the boss from Raya Lucaria Academy; and 1 from the Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable.
    - Get the Flask of WP and fill it by mixing the stuff shown @10:59
    - Allocate more FP flasks than HP ones (I usually go with 2 or 3 HP ones, but decent players may go with no more than 1); also if you are missing Golden Seeds, I'd suggest to just roam for a bit at the top of the map (after the Dectus lift and into the capital) and you will find golden trees with more than one seed below
    - Tune your spirits with Roderika

      Honestly that staff isnt that great the spell its for is wildly inaccurate vs anthing smaller then a literal mountain. The staff that upgrades all the moves that start with the Carian is far more useful earily. It is also in an area you can grab earily with some creative dodging and ignoring everything.

    After you get the Meteorite staff and the spell he mentioned go to Summonwater Village! The spell melts the boat boss super fast and you get a better summon than the wolves. The skeletons you summon will reassemble if they die making them MUCH tankier than the wolves in most situations. Thanks Nizar for the best guide out there! ♥

      Rock spell seems only useful against really slow targets... and I mean *really* slow.
      I've stood in short range of a target and cast the spell only to have the balls wander off to hit walls, the floor, and pretty much behind the target, but NOT THE TARGET which was standing right in front of me (snuck up behind it). OFC they turned around and hit me five times for bleed the moment the spell wandered by.

I just picked up all these extra spells (I’ve had rock sling since the beginning) in hopes that I’ll find a more damaging one…and still…my rock sling does more damage than all of them. Rock sling is still more effective, stronger, and can cast faster than lorettas at its full charge.

      ​@keny8892 late response but to anyone else wondering. I can't remember specifically, but once you get a few spells going it's easy to get the meteorite staff and rock spell. maybe 2 hours of playing at most. once u have those 2 the game is easy for 15+hours. Because once you hit the first castle, there are big enemies you can sit in tunnels and spam kill for huge exp.

    • @Aliens4ever117

      the ONLY downside to this build, is there are quite a few bosses you're always close up too. Where a my greatsword build kills a boss in under 60seconds. my mage might take 2 to 5minutes because you're always needing to dodge everything and make space to cast any big dmg spell. And getting 3 seconds to cast is harder said than done.

      handed sword in the game needs intelligence and faith ..... stats. This game right now only favors mages.
      This f game is made for spell casters classes and i find thisa huge slap in the face from the developers ... why even show in game trailer warriors classes witrh armor, if the game is made only for mages... the wepons everything is for mages.

      @@AntagonistVR No my point is that all the best wepons in the game need MAGE CLASS stats in order to equip them.
      Do you know what this means ?
      It means that a warrior who doesn't want intelligence stats or faith stats ... needs to invest in those if the warrior wants to equip a Katana or the best one handed sword in the game.
      And even 2 handed swords need dexterity.
      But if you play for example a huge armor class , shield, heavy armor and weapon... then stats like dexterity and intelligence are a waste, but you have to take them if you want to equip the better weapons... do you get my point now ???
      In short warriors have to sacrifice some leveling stats to INTELLIGENCE, FAITH or DEXTERITY ...
      while a MAGE class doesn't have to, because intelligence, faith... stats like that are already useful to a mage.
      Example the best one handed sword in the game needs 24 intelligence and 24 faith stats if you want to equip it.
      But if I play a warrior tank class with a shield then ... leveling intelligence to 24 and faith to 24 is already a HUGE WASTE... because i need stats in Strength, and Endurance and Vigor to make the tank even work.

    MUST READ!!!Please get this sword if you like doing both melee and magic!!!The best magic infused straight sword with low stat requirements is the Carian Knight’s Sword (10s10d18int). Located just south of the NORTHERN LIURNIA LAKE SHORE site of grace on the west side of the lake on the skinny road on the edge of the map. It’s in one of those giant drawn carriages traveling up the road, I didn’t need to kill or stop those giants to get it either, I know for some of them they need to stop pulling to open the chest, maybe it was glitched, but worth a shot. I leveled it up to +4, you can buy all the upgrades, somber smithing stones, from Iji the blacksmith. He’s at the next closest site of grace to the north, ROAD TO THE MANOR. This weapon out damages my +6 rapier, +6 uchi, and + 6 flail at 30dex/30int. It’s a beast. Also has one of the coolest ashes of war Carian Grandeur. It’s a giant overhead magic sword slam that you can charge up 3 levels to create a huuuuge sword. Pretty cool. Also GET THE BEAST REPELLENT TORCH. Rats, animals, and beasts do NOT attack you when you are carrying it, only if you attack them first. Sold at the Isolated Merchant’s Shack in Dragonborrow. Just don’t go at night, you’ll die, almost instantly, don’t want to spoil it, but yea wasn’t good. The site of grace is close to the northern coast of Dragonborrow just southeast of a little peninsula east of the minor Erdtree Caelid. You can buy it from him for a couple thousand runes. It’s a must have. Also did you know you can still sprint while crouching? I mean it’s not like you’re going fast, but it’s at least double the regular crouch walking speed.

Also is has a very cool but ultimately kind of useless skill on it called Carian grandeur where it turns into a giant spectral greatsword for a big ground slam attack.

    Great puremage guide, If anyone is like me and rolling spellblade though Id suggest grabbing the Carian Knights sword for any new spellblade builds, you can run to where its at and loot it right from the start of the game making it like the best spellblade melee weapon to get right away, combine that with meteorite staff and your golden. That being said id also check out the carian knights armor too as you can also get the full set with no combat right from the start.

    Missed Rock fling when I originally picked up my meteorite staff. Making my way to 52 int to swap out of the meteorite staff as it’s still my best one. Used it quite effectively to body a boss I was struggling with. Moonveil as a weapon is probably gonna be best in slot for any mage. The weapon arts staggers bosses so fast and just does a shit ton of damage. Especially since it’s magic damage you can buff it with your flask and Terra spell for even more damage

      Check out carian knight armor set if you need a good armor set early for a mage, Meteorite staff (gives bonus damage to gravity spells/cannot be upgraded) is a lot better then demi-human witch queen staff for early game, until you have witch queen upgraded a ton to surpass it. combine it with rock sling (its a gravity spell) is how i killed 90% of all bigger sized bosses early-mid game it hits like a tank and knocks most things to the ground in a few casts.

    Quick Tip: The best summons are as follows
    1) Black Knife Tiche - Very fast, dodges, hits very quickly, has magic ranged attacks, magic attacks inflict a DoT that deals massive damage. Defeat the boss in Ringleader's Evergaol in Liurnia of the Lakes. If you want something dead, summon Tiche. As long as you provide a distraction for her she can kill literally anything in short order. Her damage output is frankly a little terrifying and might make you envious. Her lethality isn't surprising seeing as she's one of the people who killed Godwyn in the backstory.
    2) Fanged Imp Ashes - 2 summons, Fast, aggressive, applies Bleed status, glass cannons. Keepsake or bought from Isolated Merchant Raya Lucaria. Probably the biggest surprise on this little list, the imps are vicious little buggers. They are extremely fast and never really stop attacking. While they hit pretty hard the biggest draw is that the deal Bleed build up. Lots of it. Anything that's vulnerable to bleed they can kill in very short order even quicker then Tiche in some cases, but they die fast too.
    3) Dungeater Puppet- 1 summon, Super tough, has a roar that debuffs enemy defense (even bosses) and buffs his damage, has a ranged attack with high tracking, deals bleed. Use Seluvis's Potion on the Dung Eater and bringing him 5 Starlight shards. My pick for replacing the Mimic post nerf. I think I might of actually been sleeping on this one as I didn't get it in my Spirit only run. He hits hard, nerfs enemies, and deals bleed along with being surprisingly tough. Bonus: you get to kill Dungeater in the worst way possible. What's not to love? Might actually be my #2 pick, but I need to use him more to be sure.
    4) Lhutel the Headless - Extremely tough, blocks, applies Death status, Teleports, can solo most bosses but slower then 1-3. Found in the Tombsward Catacombs in the Weeping Peninsula so very early game. The tankiest summon in the game, between her hp, shield and teleporting all over you're more likely to die then she is. She does still deal solid damage just not as much as #1&2.
    5) Greatshield Soldiers - 5 summons, Tough, Blocks, deals almost no damage, draws agro, great distraction. Found in Nokron, Eternal City. Pretty much a cheaper to summon discount Lhutel. Doesn't deal hardly any damage (though they can mob some slower bosses), but they are extremely durable. Good distraction for a ranged character to hide behind.
    Edit: Was written without any order in mind, but rearranged them to be in what I feel is their order of effectiveness.
    Edit 2: Dropped Mimic off the top 5. It's still decent, but it's not nearly as good as it was before. Not even in my top 10 now.

More often then not they actually kill their target then come help me finish off mine. It's kind of frightening.
      I've never actually used them as a Keepsake though, that extra golden seed is just too good if you ask me, so I'm not sure how well they preform without upgrades. Once you hit the castle and get the ability to power up the spirits they will be able to help you kill most things, notably they'd probably shred Godrick like paper.
