Dont listen to any negativity my dude. Everyone has the capability of looking up things on a wiki. Your guide was great and everyone shouldnt complain and just explore the game. I see comments complaining this isnt begginner friendly but i dont agree. You made a good guide. Like you said. Put the work in!
i started like 5 days ago, bout all you need to know to get started then just explore, churches have health upgrades, touch graces, spend runes, grab golden seeds for more flask charges and he tells you the rest. Just run passed enemies amd grab the stuff you need
The best way I understood it was comparing it to RuneScape. It’s an open game for you to level up. You’re meant to explore your immediate surroundings to level up, loot, etc., and keep branching out further and further. You’ll start to catch on to what areas are harder and out of your current level, as well as bosses. That way you can turn back around and “finish” the easier area to keep progressing
@@thirddegreeburn8863 The Uchigatana? That's because you start with it as the Samurai class... You don't need to "get" it, you just start with it. He details in the vid where to get the actual weapon you want for the build, the Nagakiba
did it!!! i'm an elden ring noob, and it took me around 3 hours to do the mage build. mainly because i had to watch other videos to follow along. btw, don't kill the dragon without watching a video on how to use it as a glitch. "elder dragon farming". thank you for the build!
05:50 If you're on your horse you can ride quickly back to the grace & touch it before the dragon fades away and you'll get the Runes & he wont vanish. To get the items he drops you have to let him "die" completely (fade away).

I find it so crazy how popular this game is but I feel is WAY to hard and complicated. I just wanna play a bit not take a college course to understand the game.

remeber to use golden chicken foot when killing the sleeping dragon. you should also use the flail with bleed found in the cart guarded by trolls . will make the kill muuuch faster
You can two - hand the flail to reach the strength requierement by holding the triangle and r1 (ps4). It causes bleed damage accumulation (you can't see the total but when it gets to a certain amount it causes % damage based on the total health of the boss which is really good for enemies with lots of health) @@hanslanda6687
Is so funny to see all these "beginner's'" guides that are all like "go here to these places all over the map that only experienced players would really know how to get to quickly and then get all these items only experienced players are really going to know how to find and then beat all these particular things that only experienced players are going to recognize how to get to" etc. It's fine for someone's second run through, but "beginner" is a big stretch.
@@ThePorkchopExpress975 lol...what sounds like a me problem? I'm 100% correct that calling something a beginner's guide but then telling people to go places without telling them how to get there is not really "beginner" directions.

New to the souls like games here! Almost done playing black myth wukong, and it was a great game. It pushed me to try Eldin ring next. As I’m typing this comment I haven’t played a single hour of the game. This guide, along with 2 other guide you have on your channel have helped me a lot. Your videos are very well done and edited, kudos and honestly im grateful they are in such a good digestible format. That being said, im definitely going with the holy warrior build (it’s got a staff duh, wukong) it looks great and very fun. Going to transition it into your awesome lighting build. Good job!
for the int build, instead of pumping dex to 18 just to use the flail, use the spiked caestus instead, it only needs 10 dex, and is sold at isolated merchant shack in dragonbarrow for 4000 runes.
PSA, there is a stonesword key at the storm hill shack. No reason to waste runes or pass a free golden seed at start. I'm new but this is the only critique I have of this video. Great stuff, the faith build is amazing
I'm guessing the Dragon's rotten breath incantation gets around some of the issues that bleed builds run into later in the game. I'm definitely going to try out the holy warrior build on my run, faith based magic in combination with a reach weapon sounds right up my alley!
Thanks for this video. Was about to uninstall because I had no idea where to go, no idea what to do. I had a bunch of Reddit posts opened on my 2nd monitor to figure it out. I'll just do your sorcerer build and call it a day. Honestly the fact that you have to do this is ridiculous. I don't have 500 hours to put into the game.
I know this is a late response, but don't uninstall! This was my first souls like game and I was completely lost when I first started. Had no idea what to do and didn't know what was what, didn't follow a guide or anything. I actually ended up playing as a battlemage type character because I liked the ranged battles while learning the gameplay. Once I got Torrent, I rode everywhere because I wanted to find maps and be able to see the whole area I was in. That made the gameplay a little easier. I finished my first playthrough, and after going back for a new character, I realized I missed a ton of stuff that I could have done in my first run to make things easier. I have started to follow a few content creators for guides on gameplay and that helps a ton. I hope you continue your journey here and find something that works for you.
Im about to embark on my first souls game 'ELDEN RING' and so far the sorcorer build is something i wanted to do, thanks for the great video and making it simple to follow, might make some slight changes to suit myself but non the less this video has helped A LOT! Much appriciated brother, wish me luck! 😅🤣
Tip if you choose the mage build - get either your summons or the meteorite staff before you fight the pumpkin head boss… wasted an hour fighting him ngl
Thank you so much, dude! Recently got Elden Ring and started a Samurai Build, yet I got attacked by a Dragon that swooped down on me while heading to Dragon Ruins just exploring. I gave up, then came back and created another Colossal Knight Build, so I’ve been bouncing back and forth, but found the Samurai to be the best so far. I’ve been struggling looking at different build techniques on IGN, etc. and almost gave up until I came across this video. Much appreciated! You nailed every detail and location! Will start grinding and building up for the Bloodflame Samurai.
Alright! Well, so far I have followed your guide and have obtained the Nagakiba, green turtle talisman, land of reeds armor, blood flame incantation, flame grant me strength, assassin’s crimson dagger, 5 flasks of crimson tears, 2 flasks of cerulean tears, etc. I’m digging it right now, but still have a long way to go to level up my attributes etc. My only problem is finding all of the bell bearings so that I can purchase the smithing stones needed to upgrade my nagakiba. Other than that, this build is pretty wicked, and I thank you for your guidance! Level 59 now, and going up. Wish me luck!
@@xNsAyNe0981xvery nice! Yeah, getting the bell bearings is the annoying part but on the plus side, once you obtain all of them, you can buy an infinite amount of smithing stones in new game plus 👍
By the way, a buddy of mine mentioned a Dragon Samurai build but said that you’d have to collect dragon hearts and level up faith and arcane. I’d love to see you cover something like that in your videos! Keep doing what you do! 👍🏼
I have a question for the dex nagakiba build which talismans will you get after? Are Lord of bloods exultation,Shard of Alexander,Green turtle talisman and winged sword insignia a good idea? And which tears for the flask later i thought about a build with thorny cracked tear and greenburst crystal tear or flame shrouding cracked tear. Which would be better? And wouldnt bloodflame blade get better with the oil tear thingy?
With the holy warrior build, what weapons should I use mid to late game or should I keep the same one? also, what incantations should I use mid to late game?
The Blasphemous Blade that you get for killing Rykard at the Valcano Manor is the weapon to go for 💪🏼 you already have the best incantations to use for DPS. Golden vow would be great for added defense too.
If your going with the bloodflame one, another good talisman that may atleast require level 50-70 unless your good and can do 30-40, you can go to the first minor erdtree in caelid to get a scorpion charm, it basically a infinite Flame, Grant Me Strength Incantation just with a minor Armor negation took away. greatly recommend it helped me through my recent playthrough.
5:52 he didn’t mention, use a good picked foot right before you kill it. You have 3 min once it’s activated. Meaning once you kill you’ll get good 30-40% more runes after killing it
New player here. He mentions in the Samurai portion that he uses Double Slash on his sword. Why earlier in the video does he mention Bloody Slash and Impaling Thrust? You can't use more than one on a weapon or can you?
As someone who just bought the game and hasnt started it yet, i feel like the Gravity sorcerer is gonna be the least amount of struggle for a beginner due to the range and not needing to dodge or parry as much. It also has the cleanest look and i love that theres a melee option in emergencies. Hope theres an endgame version 😅
Please note: with the elder dragon, you can kill the 4 baby drags and reset, 13k~ runes in less than 3 minutes from 4 baby drags, you ONLY kill the 4 and then site of grace rinse and repeat. its also faster to take the site of grace by the dragon on the bridge and farm both sides of the bridge and reset. 12K runes per cycle, less than 3 minute cycle, dragons are easy as ranged, the mobs by bridge is easy for melee
@@ColdBwoyy Gotcha. I got it later by Googling how to use Ashes of War. But upgrading the weapon to level 9; that takes Smithing Stones. But you don't say anything about it. It's not really a "beginner" guide, more like a redline idea and Google the rest.
@@ColdBwoyy Yes. When I fight Margit the fell of omen. How come when I use one of my summons, I can't use any of my incantations? It gets grayed out for me
hi bro, nice video btw! my question is, what is the website of the map you're using, the one that displays ashes of war on the map ( 3:44), thanks in advance!
Thanks so much that was helpfull, i beginning with the holy warrior build. I have one question, i find a memory stone , but i have only 3 slot for spells you why have 4? And 1 have only 1 slot for talisman Thx
You can find more memory slots as you play the game. Also, as you progress through the story and kill the main story bosses, you will unlock more talisman slots 👍
@@ColdBwoyy and what about leveling, which is best method first time leveling dex or faith? I pickd up everithing what is is in your video, today i starting the " normal gameplay" i have now 18 dex, 22fth. What is the normal max Dex 50 / FTH 50 or what is the best method ? I am beginner thanks 4 answer
I've started a new INT run, but I use Uchigatana instead of Carian Knight Sword. I have both but Uchigatana does more damage overall and can cause blood loss. Also, the Radagon Soreseal is a good option for damage initially. Just rush to the end of Fort Faroth to get yours! :D Great video!
can you suggest a next step for these builds? i completed the sorcerer one and wondering what kind of improvements I can add after this or maybe if it is able to transition to an even better build
You can also get a stone sword key at the storm end shack site of grace (same place as the jellyfish summon) for free if you didn't pick it as your starting item because you forgot like me!
@@ColdBwoyy Hi, do you have any videos explaining how to use incantations and ash of wars? Im new and I dont know how to apply them to the character or weapons
@@kevinsampallo4916 I don’t have a video, but I will try my best to explain here. In order to cast an incantation, you will need a seal. You’ll find about a dozen of these throughout your play through, but the cheapest and most basic one can be purchased from the twin maiden husks at the round table hold. You’ll need to rest at a site of grace, go to memorize spell and equip the incantations you would like to use. Just remember that certain incantations require specific attributes. Once you have a seal, equip it in your left hand and you’ll be able to cast your incantations. Ashes of war are found all throughout the game. To equip an ash of war to your weapon, rest at a site of grace and scroll down to ashes of war. After applying an ash of war to your right hand weapon, you’ll be able to activate it by pressing L2/LT on your controller. Hope this helps!
I always love playing as a mage in rpgs so this video helped a lot since this is my first souls game! However, I was wondering if Moonveil is a nice alternative since I like using different weapons sometimes.
I’ll be honest, in my two playthroughs, killing Old Greyoll the old fashioned way (killing the baby dragons first, thereby reducing his health to 0) is A) much faster and B) much more fun. With Rock Sling already in your inventory, you have the best anti-dragon spell and give or take a couple extra levels before doing it, it’s a way more enjoyable and epic experience. I’d recommend doing that over spending 20+ minutes whacking his tail.
Don’t forget to mention that if you quickly kill the dragon and go to the Gracepoint and rest, you can get the ruins and the dragon will still be there very important, but it has to be quick as soon as you kill it as soon as you see that flinch immediately dash to the rest point rest and you’ll get youralso try to make sure you have the golden scarab to get a 20%
Are stats not important? Or are they gained through items? I haven't played yet. The game is downloading. This video has me excited about the gravity sorcerer.
Great guides - thank you, new sub. I'm still on fence on using guides like this vs exploring game on my own but the time to find/tailor the builds/gear to this level is just something I'd never have time for sadly. Enjoying Samurai so far (early on) - few questions: 1) How to deal with mobs that require blunt vs blade attacks (crystal cave guys, etc)? 2) What's the standard process/attack flow for re-applying the spells during boss or regular PvE fighting? They go away pretty fast :( 3) Is it worth upgrading starting armor with smithing stones or not really?
1.) crystal enemies are rare but heavy attacks seem to work the best so you can break their posture. 2.) While in combat you usually only have enough time to recast bloodflame. Maybe flame grant me strength if you’re lucky. That’s why it’s good to just nuke bosses right away. 3.) unfortunately you cannot upgrade armor 👍👍👍
What armour should you strive for with the warrior faith build? Or do you keep the same? As someone with little time ive managed to get all the items this afternoon and im having a blast!
Do you have an updated version of the holy warrior of what weapons/stats etc to use after you have levelled up or should you use these exact weapons and spells the whole way through the game?
how can i perform the combo u did @8:13 ? i understand that the first is double slash, but what about the other 3 attacks? is it doubleslash-auto attack-doubleslash again or? thanks! @coldbwoyy
im stuck with my original greatsword from the opening of the game now +8. But I wanna switch to one that will give me the same performance or better. Any recommendations. Im level 58, HERO build.
@@ColdBwoyyAs soon as I finished this build. I realized you were just using the cross attack ash of war in succession lol. So it was my misunderstanding
Great video and really professional adding the location and gameplay of the builds. I’m about to start my journey into Elden Ring and this video really helped me a lot deciding what choices I have to make early game . Just one question if anyone can help me answer it because I don’t really know what is the best option to choose at the very beginning if the golden seed to craft later on healt potions or the key you need to open some places like the turtle talisman. Thanks for the early help and greets from Mexico 🇲🇽
I just started playing again and made 3 separate builds to see which is easier/user friendly. Honestly just watch any TitusActual OP early guide (for example). 1.Int/str with that carian knight sword and whatever sorceries + jellyfish shieldan block counters. 2.Arcane/fth regalia of eochaid + dragon communion seal upgraded. Guard counters and whatever faith spells you want. 1.Fth/Str rush to get lightning spear, erd tree seal, +12 upgrade bellbearings and jellyfish for guard counters etc
FYI- At the Castle Morne Rampart the is a cart with a chest where you can loot the Morning Star which is a blood weapon that you can wield 2 handed with like 8 strength so you dont need to waste levels on Dex for the flail. 👍
Bro u used bloodhound fang as a samurai to beat both? Am just stuck with Loretta just before Milenia. Is samurai build good?? Am having same build..samurai with bloodhound fang..
@@bobby19859 I used the nagakiba in my right hand and the uchikatana in my lh. Buff with flame grant me strength and golden vow and make sure both weapons are keen. If you are having trouble i would put nagakiba in lh and find the RoB and put that in rh and make sure to have decent arcane and dex
Just spent all day creating the holy warrior build - love it. Could you possibly post a video or reply here guiding players on what to upgrade level wise past level 50. I am a new player, and im wondering if I should simply put all of my points into faith to continue scaling with the treespear or if I also should put points into dex, strength, as well since it scales with those too. Im just wary of wasting levels by putting points into the wrong things. I also understand that eventually I'll want to change to the blasphemous blade, correct? Thanks for the awesome build.
Yes! Blasphemous Blade is the best faith weapon in the game. It requires at least 18 strength and 21 faith to wield but it scales evenly with strength and dexterity which means 21 faith is all you need. You can focus a majority of your points into Vigor and strength. Also, the claw mark seal is the seal you would want for the build since it scales with strength and faith, allowing you to actually deal damage with some of your incantations. Hopefully this helps.
@@ColdBwoyy ok so get the claw mark seal, and then level up strength and dex bc the blasphemous blade will scale with those eventually, along with the seal. And until then the treespear scales with strength and dex anyway so it’s fine. Right? So I should not keep putting points into faith.
@@mattg1998-w8q you only need 18 faith to wield the tree spear and it scales equally with strength faith and DEX meaning your damage output will continue to increase to matter which one you prioritize. If I were you I would get your faith to 21 and then do the rest into strength. Ideally getting your strength to 70-80 by the time you’re level 150.
@@ColdBwoyy thanks so much, that’s where my confusion was. I have heard people mention “soft caps” and such and spreading around points but I don’t really understand it. Thanks, I’ll put my points into strength and grab that seal. Appreciate all the help.
on the faith one you can get black flame blade and speed up killing Greyoll... also on the last hit if you get on torrent and run back to the site of grace you can receive 50k per kill rather than just 100k once, unless they plan to patch this out with the dlc, if so its still active in current patch
I believe last patch they had made it so you dont stack bleed build up, dual weilding wont double it you will only stack as if one weapon is hittinf im pretty sure
I got the sword and the incantations and I leveled up to the right level, but one thing I notice is my incantations don’t last very long. Is there a way to increase the duration of the incantations?

Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@ColdBwoyywhy does my faith weapon not light like yours
Tip if you choose the mage build - get either your summons or the meteorite staff before you fight the pumpkin head boss… wasted an hour fighting him ngl
Thank you for the video!! Going to try out the samurai build. I haven’t played Souls in ages.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, dude! Recently got Elden Ring and started a Samurai Build, yet I got attacked by a Dragon that swooped down on me while heading to Dragon Ruins just exploring. I gave up, then came back and created another Colossal Knight Build, so I’ve been bouncing back and forth, but found the Samurai to be the best so far. I’ve been struggling looking at different build techniques on IGN, etc. and almost gave up until I came across this video. Much appreciated! You nailed every detail and location! Will start grinding and building up for the Bloodflame Samurai.
You’re going to love it! Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching.
Keep at it, it's a really awesome game
Alright! Well, so far I have followed your guide and have obtained the Nagakiba, green turtle talisman, land of reeds armor, blood flame incantation, flame grant me strength, assassin’s crimson dagger, 5 flasks of crimson tears, 2 flasks of cerulean tears, etc. I’m digging it right now, but still have a long way to go to level up my attributes etc. My only problem is finding all of the bell bearings so that I can purchase the smithing stones needed to upgrade my nagakiba. Other than that, this build is pretty wicked, and I thank you for your guidance! Level 59 now, and going up. Wish me luck!
@@xNsAyNe0981xvery nice! Yeah, getting the bell bearings is the annoying part but on the plus side, once you obtain all of them, you can buy an infinite amount of smithing stones in new game plus 👍
By the way, a buddy of mine mentioned a Dragon Samurai build but said that you’d have to collect dragon hearts and level up faith and arcane. I’d love to see you cover something like that in your videos! Keep doing what you do! 👍🏼
I just got into Elden ring, it’s my first souls game and i absolutely am obsessed with it! Thank you for the guide this helped a lot!
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Meteor staff was fixed. It now requires a massive amount of int to get its damage. The gravity spells now hit like wet noodles.
It’s a good staff and spell for early game. Will need to be changed for mid-end game
@@ColdBwoyyso what do we swap it for now? I’m so new to this game
@@Speyeder121any luck finding anything?
@@Speyeder121carian regal scepter main hand, staff of loss offhand when casting night comet, meteor staff offhand when casting gravity spells
Dude this video has been what my whole game has been revolving around and its worked wonders. Tysm for the guide
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻
I have a question for the dex nagakiba build which talismans will you get after? Are Lord of bloods exultation,Shard of Alexander,Green turtle talisman and winged sword insignia a good idea? And which tears for the flask later i thought about a build with thorny cracked tear and greenburst crystal tear or flame shrouding cracked tear. Which would be better? And wouldnt bloodflame blade get better with the oil tear thingy?
Bro i started the game yesterday it took me 4 hours for the samourai build but thank you
Glad I could help!
With the holy warrior build, what weapons should I use mid to late game or should I keep the same one? also, what incantations should I use mid to late game?
The Blasphemous Blade that you get for killing Rykard at the Valcano Manor is the weapon to go for 💪🏼 you already have the best incantations to use for DPS. Golden vow would be great for added defense too.
Dude i just come back on Elden Ring to give it a chance and you're build are really PERFECT, that's great work !
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻
Did the blood fang samurai. I'm just deciding on what one to do next.
Great video, by the way. Professional done, in my opinion.
If your going with the bloodflame one, another good talisman that may atleast require level 50-70 unless your good and can do 30-40, you can go to the first minor erdtree in caelid to get a scorpion charm, it basically a infinite Flame, Grant Me Strength Incantation just with a minor Armor negation took away. greatly recommend it helped me through my recent playthrough.
Is this dragon farming method still working?
I just got the sorcerer's build done. Im really looking forward to try him out
Thanks
I ended up making a faith/int/strength build and it’s pretty fun being able to use both incantations and sorcery
5:52 he didn’t mention, use a good picked foot right before you kill it. You have 3 min once it’s activated. Meaning once you kill you’ll get good 30-40% more runes after killing it
U have my sub. I love how much detail u put in the video
Thank you so much I appreciate you 🙏🏻
While you're getting double slash get the "Redmane" painting, then get rain of arrows, it will be amazing to have on your bow.
Thanks for another brilliant Video.Cheers! Thanks for sharing.Total respect bro.
My man!
4:00 shooting the scarab from this location didn't work for me, but I don't have the same bow maybe that's the reason
Just getting closer to that bugger fixed it
New player here. He mentions in the Samurai portion that he uses Double Slash on his sword. Why earlier in the video does he mention Bloody Slash and Impaling Thrust? You can't use more than one on a weapon or can you?
Bloody slash and impaling thrust are good ashes of war to use before you get double slash
@@ColdBwoyy thank you!
You're editing is really good, well presented. Good job
Thank you very much! I appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙏🏻
Your*
@@TOBY-jy7bz my point exactly! thanks 🤗
As someone who just bought the game and hasnt started it yet, i feel like the Gravity sorcerer is gonna be the least amount of struggle for a beginner due to the range and not needing to dodge or parry as much. It also has the cleanest look and i love that theres a melee option in emergencies. Hope theres an endgame version 😅
If you watch my spellblade sorcerer build video, it’s an end game version of the gravity sorcerer 👍
@@ColdBwoyy thank you 😊 🙏
Please note: with the elder dragon, you can kill the 4 baby drags and reset, 13k~ runes in less than 3 minutes from 4 baby drags, you ONLY kill the 4 and then site of grace rinse and repeat. its also faster to take the site of grace by the dragon on the bridge and farm both sides of the bridge and reset. 12K runes per cycle, less than 3 minute cycle, dragons are easy as ranged, the mobs by bridge is easy for melee
Great guide, but the small things you forgot, like how to get a Whetstone Knife to actually apply an Ash of War.
I think I just naturally got it don’t remember needing to grab it
@@ColdBwoyy Gotcha. I got it later by Googling how to use Ashes of War. But upgrading the weapon to level 9; that takes Smithing Stones. But you don't say anything about it. It's not really a "beginner" guide, more like a redline idea and Google the rest.
Iam a beginner at this gam and this is the best video guide I've watched
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 glad I could help
I'm lost lol need a video for each haha - starting ER today first time
Watching all these after 5 years have me miss playinn the game for the first time
Such an incredible game
I just started playing this game for the first time 3 days ago, and this video really helped me get sorta started
That’s great! Did you have any questions?
@@ColdBwoyy Yes. When I fight Margit the fell of omen. How come when I use one of my summons, I can't use any of my incantations? It gets grayed out for me
@@ScorpionWagbecause you ran out of focus points. You need to drink an FP flask.
hi bro, nice video btw! my question is, what is the website of the map you're using, the one that displays ashes of war on the map ( 3:44), thanks in advance!
Just search Elden Ring interactive map on google. I believe it’s the IGN one 👍
@@ColdBwoyy thank you so much bro!
Thanks so much that was helpfull, i beginning with the holy warrior build. I have one question, i find a memory stone , but i have only 3 slot for spells you why have 4? And 1 have only 1 slot for talisman
Thx
You can find more memory slots as you play the game. Also, as you progress through the story and kill the main story bosses, you will unlock more talisman slots 👍
@@ColdBwoyy and what about leveling, which is best method first time leveling dex or faith? I pickd up everithing what is is in your video, today i starting the " normal gameplay" i have now 18 dex, 22fth. What is the normal max Dex 50 / FTH 50 or what is the best method ?
I am beginner
thanks 4 answer
I've started a new INT run, but I use Uchigatana instead of Carian Knight Sword. I have both but Uchigatana does more damage overall and can cause blood loss.
Also, the Radagon Soreseal is a good option for damage initially. Just rush to the end of Fort Faroth to get yours! :D
Great video!
Thanks Henrique 🙏🏻
Yeah that sorc build got me looking out for an Elden ring sale
Which build is easier to get and used?
The blood samurai is the most traditional one, and probably the best one.
That katana is one the very best base game weapons too.
can you suggest a next step for these builds? i completed the sorcerer one and wondering what kind of improvements I can add after this or maybe if it is able to transition to an even better build
Thank you so much for the video. I just started elden ring and it helped a lot
I’m glad I could help! Which build are you most interested in?
@@ColdBwoyynot op but gravity mage because I'm too scaredy cat to fight up close with melee lol
You can also get a stone sword key at the storm end shack site of grace (same place as the jellyfish summon) for free if you didn't pick it as your starting item because you forgot like me!
My bro u explained so clearly respect to u ma man don't take the negativity though seriously
Thank you brother 🙏🏻
Appreciate the walkthrough bro def gonna grind for blood flame
Let me know if you have any questions! Thank you so much for watching
@@ColdBwoyy Hi, do you have any videos explaining how to use incantations and ash of wars? Im new and I dont know how to apply them to the character or weapons
@@kevinsampallo4916 I don’t have a video, but I will try my best to explain here.
In order to cast an incantation, you will need a seal. You’ll find about a dozen of these throughout your play through, but the cheapest and most basic one can be purchased from the twin maiden husks at the round table hold. You’ll need to rest at a site of grace, go to memorize spell and equip the incantations you would like to use. Just remember that certain incantations require specific attributes. Once you have a seal, equip it in your left hand and you’ll be able to cast your incantations.
Ashes of war are found all throughout the game. To equip an ash of war to your weapon, rest at a site of grace and scroll down to ashes of war. After applying an ash of war to your right hand weapon, you’ll be able to activate it by pressing L2/LT on your controller.
Hope this helps!
I always love playing as a mage in rpgs so this video helped a lot since this is my first souls game! However, I was wondering if Moonveil is a nice alternative since I like using different weapons sometimes.
Yes the Moonveil is a great weapon 👍
I’ll be honest, in my two playthroughs, killing Old Greyoll the old fashioned way (killing the baby dragons first, thereby reducing his health to 0) is A) much faster and B) much more fun. With Rock Sling already in your inventory, you have the best anti-dragon spell and give or take a couple extra levels before doing it, it’s a way more enjoyable and epic experience. I’d recommend doing that over spending 20+ minutes whacking his tail.
Don’t forget to mention that if you quickly kill the dragon and go to the Gracepoint and rest, you can get the ruins and the dragon will still be there very important, but it has to be quick as soon as you kill it as soon as you see that flinch immediately dash to the rest point rest and you’ll get youralso try to make sure you have the golden scarab to get a 20%
Are stats not important? Or are they gained through items? I haven't played yet. The game is downloading. This video has me excited about the gravity sorcerer.
You use runes to level up your stats!
@@ColdBwoyy thank you!
Thank bro I went with bloodflame build. It looks so badass
Glad I could help!
Great guides - thank you, new sub. I'm still on fence on using guides like this vs exploring game on my own but the time to find/tailor the builds/gear to this level is just something I'd never have time for sadly. Enjoying Samurai so far (early on) - few questions:
1) How to deal with mobs that require blunt vs blade attacks (crystal cave guys, etc)?
2) What's the standard process/attack flow for re-applying the spells during boss or regular PvE fighting? They go away pretty fast :(
3) Is it worth upgrading starting armor with smithing stones or not really?
1.) crystal enemies are rare but heavy attacks seem to work the best so you can break their posture.
2.) While in combat you usually only have enough time to recast bloodflame. Maybe flame grant me strength if you’re lucky. That’s why it’s good to just nuke bosses right away.
3.) unfortunately you cannot upgrade armor
👍👍👍
if its not too late, i would just play it normal first and if u have problems/ get bored/ or beat it on your own then try a new build
One doesn't need the fire monk incantation tome to get the flame sling, its sold by default by Brother Corhyn as soon one enters roundtable hall...
What armour should you strive for with the warrior faith build? Or do you keep the same? As someone with little time ive managed to get all the items this afternoon and im having a blast!
Any armor you can wear will work! Just remember to increase your endurance overtime if you plan on using heavier armor for protection
Do you have an updated version of the holy warrior of what weapons/stats etc to use after you have levelled up or should you use these exact weapons and spells the whole way through the game?
This video was extremely helpful man thank you!
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻🙏🏻
how can i perform the combo u did @8:13 ? i understand that the first is double slash, but what about the other 3 attacks? is it doubleslash-auto attack-doubleslash again or? thanks! @coldbwoyy
Double slash again right after as a follow-up attack
im stuck with my original greatsword from the opening of the game now +8. But I wanna switch to one that will give me the same performance or better. Any recommendations. Im level 58, HERO build.
The blasphemous blade from killing Rykard at the valcano manor!
This nagakiba sword stance is different from the one I have. Is there a way to equip the sword stance that is quick like the one in the video?
What do you mean exactly?
@@ColdBwoyyAs soon as I finished this build. I realized you were just using the cross attack ash of war in succession lol. So it was my misunderstanding
Ohhhhh man. The first 2 are brutal. Intelligence is fvckin' awesome
For the gravity sorcerer, use misericorde with magic afinity. And hit the crits with it
u can buy flame sling right away from the brother u took the book to right away with no book required btw
Great video and really professional adding the location and gameplay of the builds. I’m about to start my journey into Elden Ring and this video really helped me a lot deciding what choices I have to make early game . Just one question if anyone can help me answer it because I don’t really know what is the best option to choose at the very beginning if the golden seed to craft later on healt potions or the key you need to open some places like the turtle talisman. Thanks for the early help and greets from Mexico 🇲🇽
I would do the golden seed just because the stone sword key can be purchased from the twin maiden husks at the round table hold
I just started playing again and made 3 separate builds to see which is easier/user friendly. Honestly just watch any TitusActual OP early guide (for example).
1.Int/str with that carian knight sword and whatever sorceries + jellyfish shieldan block counters.
2.Arcane/fth regalia of eochaid + dragon communion seal upgraded. Guard counters and whatever faith spells you want.
1.Fth/Str rush to get lightning spear, erd tree seal, +12 upgrade bellbearings and jellyfish for guard counters etc
I haven't played in a while, but the fact that the sleeping dragon still works is amazing lmfao
Right? 😂
This video was done very well. Great info! Keep it up!
Thanks Anthony 🙏🏻
@@ColdBwoyyCan you pls explain why I can’t use any of my spells
what flask of wondrous physick do you recommend for the bleed build?
FYI- At the Castle Morne Rampart the is a cart with a chest where you can loot the Morning Star which is a blood weapon that you can wield 2 handed with like 8 strength so you dont need to waste levels on Dex for the flail. 👍
how do you put on the ash of war and the blood slash at the same time, or can you not?
where do u get these interactive maps from?
I just started my souls journey an your a big help g I appreciate it 🙏🏾💯
Glad I could help!
Just wanted to say that your Bloodflame Samurai build plus a bunch of changes helped me beat Malenia and Mohg Lord of Blood!
Job well done 💪🏼 thanks for commenting 😎
Bro u used bloodhound fang as a samurai to beat both? Am just stuck with Loretta just before Milenia. Is samurai build good?? Am having same build..samurai with bloodhound fang..
@@bobby19859 I used the nagakiba in my right hand and the uchikatana in my lh. Buff with flame grant me strength and golden vow and make sure both weapons are keen. If you are having trouble i would put nagakiba in lh and find the RoB and put that in rh and make sure to have decent arcane and dex
for the first build how shoudl i keep progressing my stats what do i put them in
I did the wretch class, can I still build to samurai? I won’t have the starting sword
You’re going to get the Nagakiba anyways so it shouldn’t matter
I went to that exact location for the teardrop scarab at 4:00 but couldnt find it halp please
How are you blocking with that dexterity build? Can you block with 1 handed weapons?
Just spent all day creating the holy warrior build - love it. Could you possibly post a video or reply here guiding players on what to upgrade level wise past level 50. I am a new player, and im wondering if I should simply put all of my points into faith to continue scaling with the treespear or if I also should put points into dex, strength, as well since it scales with those too. Im just wary of wasting levels by putting points into the wrong things. I also understand that eventually I'll want to change to the blasphemous blade, correct? Thanks for the awesome build.
Yes! Blasphemous Blade is the best faith weapon in the game. It requires at least 18 strength and 21 faith to wield but it scales evenly with strength and dexterity which means 21 faith is all you need. You can focus a majority of your points into Vigor and strength. Also, the claw mark seal is the seal you would want for the build since it scales with strength and faith, allowing you to actually deal damage with some of your incantations. Hopefully this helps.
@@ColdBwoyy ok so get the claw mark seal, and then level up strength and dex bc the blasphemous blade will scale with those eventually, along with the seal. And until then the treespear scales with strength and dex anyway so it’s fine. Right? So I should not keep putting points into faith.
@@mattg1998-w8q you only need 18 faith to wield the tree spear and it scales equally with strength faith and DEX meaning your damage output will continue to increase to matter which one you prioritize. If I were you I would get your faith to 21 and then do the rest into strength. Ideally getting your strength to 70-80 by the time you’re level 150.
Side note: you do not need to level up both strength AND dex. Only strength as long as you meet the minimum requirement for dex
@@ColdBwoyy thanks so much, that’s where my confusion was. I have heard people mention “soft caps” and such and spreading around points but I don’t really understand it. Thanks, I’ll put my points into strength and grab that seal. Appreciate all the help.
on the faith one you can get black flame blade and speed up killing Greyoll... also on the last hit if you get on torrent and run back to the site of grace you can receive 50k per kill rather than just 100k once, unless they plan to patch this out with the dlc, if so its still active in current patch
Also the Radagon soreseal in the fort right near Greyoll
I believe last patch they had made it so you dont stack bleed build up, dual weilding wont double it you will only stack as if one weapon is hittinf im pretty sure
What is the starting class for the holy worrier build
Prophet
@@ColdBwoyy cool did your dex build for my first ever play through really enjoying so for my second I’m doing your holy u da go to for build ideas
@@ColdBwoyy also when should I start getting everything I started as soon as I made my character or should I best margitt and Godrick first
I got the sword and the incantations and I leveled up to the right level, but one thing I notice is my incantations don’t last very long. Is there a way to increase the duration of the incantations?
Yes! The old lords talisman increases the duration of spells and incantations!
