An obvious cosplay choice with the DLC armor. So obvious something tells me UA-cam will be filled with videos about him soon. If not already? 😄 Edit: Yeah I was right. And no surprise my video wasn't promoted by the algorithm as much. :(
I think the spells that fit Sauron the best would be Magma Sorceries as they blend his necromantic themed abilities with the fires of Mt. "Doom" (Gelmir in this world). Frenzied Flame incantations don't really fit the Order-obsessed Maia that he is.
Y'know it's funny, i already faced a Sauron cosplayer in the arena but the poor guy was using the nightrider flail (would fit better with witch king anyways) so that went nowhere :(
@@SZMarcos It's a flail. Not enough reach and the hitbox is (in my experience) kinda funky. They have hyperarmor tho but you might as well use a normal hammer at that point. There's also nothing really special about the nightrider's apart from looks and high dex scaling. Which also isn't great because you generally want to twohand hyperarmor weapons which benefits more from strenght. I know i yap a lot right now but Michael Zaki really fumbled that weapon class...
@@rigel9228people misunderstand the flails. they’re horseback weapons, and probably the best weapons in the game for when you’re riding Torrent. yes, even better than you’d think great spears would be (or rather SHOULD be. still mad there’s no horseback arena.) their strong attacks multi hit (and many have innate bleed) unlike other weapons where you get one contact hit that’s kinda wonky, and then the actual swing. just unlock from enemies and hold down the strong attack button while casually walking next to enemies and poof! you win. and even outside of that, they’re fine. people act like you’re gonna lose automatically when using one, but it’s the player’s skill that really matters in the same way that crappy players don’t just become good when using RoB in pvp. if you fought that guy more than once and he consistently lost, it wasn’t cuz of the flail. side note: i’m surprised more gankers don’t use flails, since their r1 moveset is super spammable. they lack the 5th hit that maces have and instead the 4th hit is just ever so slightly slower. almost feels like DS3 r1 spam again 😅. 3 dudes r1 spamming flails at you would suck. especially if it’s the pumpkin head flail, as it actually has good reach….. but an abysmal drop rate.
I kinda hoped that you would have Mohg's rune acivated. Not to actually use it, but just so it hangs in the upper left corner of the screen. Because it kinda looks like the Eye of Sauron and belongs to the twin brother of...Morgott. Literally a one letter difference lmfao.
This was amazing. The only thing i would say that is a shame is the missing cape. Have you tried the solitude chest piece with an extremely thin body? If yes is it because the metal colors doesn't match?
Yeah, the colors don't work. A shame really, and one that's permeated through the entire game... Just look at how many golden sets with different shades that don't work with each other. The armors look so good too, it's really a waste.
I tried and it does work as the Shadows of Mordor bulkier Sauron, but only as a red phantom because of the colors. I also feel while this one is missing the cape, it's more similar to the (brief) movie version instead because of the spikes and slimness. Really would have liked an altered version of this one. 😄
Very nice! I just cosplayed Morgoth with a similar build except Black Steel Greathammer and spiked palisade shield. Hopefully we meet sometime in the battlefield!
For my Sauron outfit, I've been running Night Helm + Night Cavalry Armor + Gaius' Gloves + Greaves of Solitude. I don't have any good maces to run with him yet, so I've been using Marika's Hammer for the ash of war, even though it doesn't really fit aesthetically.
This is a great vid I only have 3 three slight complaints however and I have "fixed" these in my build 1. The mace is too big 2. The cape is missing I personaly use the solitude chest and greaves along with malformed dragon gauntlets. 3. I understand it not being implimented but saurons elven form would have made the video objectively better (and given me new god tier sliders lol) because what I do is when I get half health (or just start the duel) I use FDS and change my armor (the rest stored in the chest) take out my milady and take off my helmet put on altered snow witch robes and get back in the fight. Other than those three details everything else is perfect the spell choice the area you invade and the music. This is still a banger of a vid
i'd of liked it more if this armor set had defenses that didn't make it seem like it was made from wet cardboard, but it is aesthetically one of the coolest dlc armor sets we got.
I would use a regular mace or flame monks mace. His isnt that big comparatively to him hes just tall and imposing. Also would use the nights cave chest for the cloak. Since the ring can make people invisible you can use BHS to mimic that to a degree or use the invisibility spell but that's my personal opinion and it's still really well done
Yo could someone please help me with a cosplay? I am currently trying to make a Jason Voorhese cosplay and I can’t really find any armour sets that match Jason. Would be great to have some suggestions
It’s a real shame how this armour is obviously designed for a female body, making male characters look abnormally slim while wearing it, which is odd since it’s definitely inspired by Sauron.

That armor isn't a new fashion option, it's an open invitation for every Lord of the Rings and The Witcher 3 fan.
It really does remind me of Sauron, The Lich King and Eredin all at the same time. 😄
Saneroot try a nameless king from darksouls build
Lung-burz nahg isish !
Sauron's iconic giant pot of fire
According to the books the only weapon Sauron used against Gil Galad was his burning hand to scorch him alive. If you want any extra ideas.
I think there's a frenzied flame fist weapon in the DLC which might be good for this ^
Can the martial arts weapons be affected by greases? Fire grease could fulfill this.
Or the same on a caestus.
Blood flame incantations
I think the spells that fit Sauron the best would be Magma Sorceries as they blend his necromantic themed abilities with the fires of Mt. "Doom" (Gelmir in this world). Frenzied Flame incantations don't really fit the Order-obsessed Maia that he is.
wouldn't that be perfumes?
Y'know it's funny, i already faced a Sauron cosplayer in the arena but the poor guy was using the nightrider flail (would fit better with witch king anyways) so that went nowhere :(
The weapon of kings. (I know it sucks but I used it on my first playthrough and will forever love it because of that).
Seems fine. What sucks so much about it?

At least it can't be parried I guess.

with the 50 more armor sets available you will be able to do even more cosplays !
One ring to rule them all !
One ring to find them.
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.
Really smart adding the flame of frenzy eye. Also i love the new drip for your end card character

That would have been a fun touch, true. 😄
Haha that’s a trip. Basically Morgoth 😂
@@SanerootYT you should have used the night's cavalry chest piece insteed of armor of night
i thought of sauron when i saw that helm. glad to see you did as well
Sauron was great but holy hell your character's new look at the end is great! Love the gravebird armor
Beautiful cosplay, marvelous even

@@SanerootYT Night rider chest works pretty good i think, too bad it doesn't have spikes, but i guess cape is better than spikes
Very nice! I just cosplayed Morgoth with a similar build except Black Steel Greathammer and spiked palisade shield. Hopefully we meet sometime in the battlefield!
Dude this is so cool, stuff like this really makes Elden Ring amazing
Cool! Might a recommend the armor of solitude for the chest and legs though? If you look at the shot of Sauron at 0:23 the armor matches a bit better.
Great cosplay might have to try it myself
When i saw Yolan i immediately knew they took inspiration from Sauron (and that crazy guy from demon that i can't remember right now)
Moment I saw that armor I was waiting for the Sauron builds to start showing up.
So edgy... i love it!!
So much potential builds with the new dlc, i can tell you were excited making this video! Cheers 🍻
I tried cosplaying as the dark lord. Didn’t go well for me! 😂 love this video!
I love cosplay builds.....the 1st thing that came to mind seeing this armor was Sauron..glad someone did it before i could
For my Sauron outfit, I've been running Night Helm + Night Cavalry Armor + Gaius' Gloves + Greaves of Solitude. I don't have any good maces to run with him yet, so I've been using Marika's Hammer for the ash of war, even though it doesn't really fit aesthetically.
Amazing work man!
As soon as I saw this armor I knew what would happen
this edit ROCKS
One ring to rule them all.
Beat us to the punch!!! Grand cosplay friend
Elden ring to rule them all, Elden ring to find them, Elden ring to bring them all and in the scadu bind them
Sauron sounds like the Ivory King
Do Tower Knight cosplay
Technically you can use a sword. In deleted scenes he showed up for the final battle using a sword against Aragorn
Great build, but I personally think that this Armor is more fitting for a Build for the True and original Dark lord Morgoth.
The goat returned!!!
This is a great vid I only have 3 three slight complaints however and I have "fixed" these in my build
1. The mace is too big
2. The cape is missing I personaly use the solitude chest and greaves along with malformed dragon gauntlets.
3. I understand it not being implimented but saurons elven form would have made the video objectively better (and given me new god tier sliders lol) because what I do is when I get half health (or just start the duel) I use FDS and change my armor (the rest stored in the chest) take out my milady and take off my helmet put on altered snow witch robes and get back in the fight.
Other than those three details everything else is perfect the spell choice the area you invade and the music.
This is still a banger of a vid
we all knew this was coming
i'd of liked it more if this armor set had defenses that didn't make it seem like it was made from wet cardboard, but it is aesthetically one of the coolest dlc armor sets we got.
I think sauron has a cape i could be wrong though but maybe the night cavalry chest could work im not sure though
Hes back boyyyyyyyyyyyysssss
Oh and Suarons here too
I would use a regular mace or flame monks mace. His isnt that big comparatively to him hes just tall and imposing. Also would use the nights cave chest for the cloak. Since the ring can make people invisible you can use BHS to mimic that to a degree or use the invisibility spell but that's my personal opinion and it's still really well done
I think there are some other books from the author who had sauron as a more prominent character
I was cosplaying lichking with that helm
I was thinking the same thing! Though not for a while, maybe I'll do an Arthas/Lich King cosplay tribute similar to the Sylvanas video one day.
Lich king next? maybe the helm can fit
Question: How do you get your character's eyes to glow? They look really cool
Unfortunately the eye glow only happens when casting the new frenzy incantation (Midra's Flame of Frenzy)
Well you can make your eyes look kinda like that, though it wouldn't matter with this helmet on.
Yo could someone please help me with a cosplay? I am currently trying to make a Jason Voorhese cosplay and I can’t really find any armour sets that match Jason. Would be great to have some suggestions
this build but with Monk's Flamemace
the only thing that armor is missing is a cape 😩
Absolute peak
How do you make this build?
swift slash trashcans dealt with
What’s the level and stuff if u don’t mind me asking
It's alright. It's shown fast at the very end of the video. You can either pause or watch that part at the slowest speed.
@@SanerootYT oh didn’t even realise but cool video brother
:D awesome
It’s perfect…
Can you show us the actual build
It's at the very end of the video. You need to pause or slow the video down.
Location is armor plis❤
What his armor is actually in the game?
Yup! It's called "Night" set.
@@SanerootYT So cool also Sauron is a Necromancer or at least in the Hobbit, if you need inspiration he’s also in LOTR conquest
The algorithm requires engagement
Obvious, maybe... But fun!
It’s a real shame how this armour is obviously designed for a female body, making male characters look abnormally slim while wearing it, which is odd since it’s definitely inspired by Sauron.
True, though it fits as far as the movie version goes. Sauron looked quite slim in his armor because of how big the helm was.
Bro show the stats
They're at the very end, tho you might need to pause or slow down the video speed.
Sadly, no cape. (boowomp)
