Small mistake around 08:54 - you don't need to wear the full Black Knife set for the noise removal effect, only the chest piece. Edit: also this video made me realise you can use the warming stone to heal *yourself*. I've only ever used it to heal my bro Stormhawk Deenh
specifically the chest piece that has the cape, as the cape is what gives the buff, you can confirm this by altering the armor which honestly is a massive downgrade if you do that, even has a bit less fashion score.
@@nox_luna I honestly don't see the point in altering any of the armor. I think I altered 1 or 2 common ones sort of by accident and then realized by comparing the regular versions that the altered ones were weaker in basically every aspect than the regular ones.
As someone who does a ton of Co-op, I love the warming stone! You plop it down after a rough patch and everyone gathers around it and basks in the silence… like camping!
Honestly, with how quickly fall dmg goes from "none at all" to "fucking death" I used Rainbow Stones quite a lot. For example, the bridge in the fringefolk heroes grave with the two grafted scions, or that one area with a couple rats on a random ceiling in stormveil castle, both left me wondering wether or not I could survive, and the stones help determine that. A friend of mine with shit orientation also uses them as waymarkers. I think they are a very flavorful and interesting item. It should also be mentioned that the white scriptstone can reveal developer messages in offline mode, which can be quite useful if you can't access the net and want to get hints for illusion walls and stuffs regardless.
27:15 You can actually farm infinite Rimed Crystal buds without killing anything. There is a tree roughly fifteen seconds away from Ordina, Liturgical Town that will give you about fifty buds per visit. These buds will also respawn after resting at a grace.
Fun fact :- If you have the Raw Meat Dumpling in your quick inventory and summon your mimic. You basically just have an infinite health mimic that quick heal itself, doesn't get poisoned AND it's infinite. It just can't get any better use than this.
@@YTDariuS-my6dg Right. I use them as a buffer before my flasks. The poison damage is laughable and I only pop a bolus if the boss/enemy chunks me below half health. Most later game bosses or harder enemies can kill you outright from half hp or below with a powerful attack or combo, so worrying about dying from the poison is last on my mind.
@@wujekmarian3414 Nah it is the limited number with no random drops that kills them (jars only drop on first kill i've farmed jar shards extensivly, vulcano manor is the best farm for jar shards by the way). If you could farm them then an extra 3 50% heals would be great but since only dupers can get more of these it feels like a divine blessing dupers advantage in pvp.
@@jaimiesmith9502 Yeah, since I never really crafted items that needed string I thought it was weird it was a thing. Then I see comments like this about how rare string is.
I swear this is just rage bait, because you can farm aeonian butterflies from the pests, old fangs from misbegotten, the Lillie’s from jellyfish etc. the only limited resource is larval tears
You get the most out of warming stones if you use them in dungeons where you don't get flask replenishments. For example you are in Stormveil, you took a good bit of damage but there are no enemies around. Instead of using a flask, you drop a stone and save the flask use for when healing is more urgent.
time to say my opinion on the internets! I used the rainbow stones a lot actually. there's lots of places I wanted to jump from, and lots of them were sketchy. They helped out and surprised me a lot actually.
@@WakoolsPretty sure attacking at any ledge (except very finicky ones) will stop you from falling. I've had moments where there was a "ledge" barely taller than a stair and it stopped my character.
I actually have a good reason for the ruin fragment becoming purchasable so late: it helps the player make the lore connection between the ruins in limgrave and farum azula. I actually remember that moment from my first playthrough, it just happened to hit me
Rainbow stone is THE item to discover,navigate and mark invisible bridges, maybe in the dlc we will be very gratefull for them to exist because of a mercyless invisible maze of death in a pitch black cave. Edit:yes I’m well aware there are very few places where you find these usefull and playing online might render them kinda useless, but by design its meant to be an usefull item unlike many around the bottom end of the list, stuff that actively hinders your progress if used in combat cause literally almost anything you do is better than that item. This item helps you when you need it
For me. The Rainbow Stone warning about fatal falls is for me I've got over 700 hours in the game at this point so most of the use I get out of it these days is actually tagging paths in places like the sewers (so many smithing stones to collect) or some of the more confusing catacombs BUT especially in the first few playthroughs, this was invaluable PRECISELY because of how merciless the fall damage is, it can be really hard to judge on some drops where you actually have to fall and these help a lot With Elden Ring being as vertical as it is, this feature is more important than ever
I mean, not that it makes a huge difference, but you didn’t even mention that soft cotton also has the effect of the cat talisman … I use it all the time in the subterranean shunning grounds when you have to drop off the pipes. Again, not that it makes it a super useful item, but it’s not useless
The character run fromsoft based the faith arc on, is one that starts faithful, and uses faith to heal and do faith damage, then, finds out it's reliance in the holy is weak, and switches to fire. It runs off the same stat, and while it's odd margot resists holy and the fire giant eats fire for breakfast, i think this is the story of the faithful tarnished, who finds faith in fire, and gives up on the sacred order
In regards to the Gravity Stone items, you don’t actually have to farm them, you can get a Bell Bearing for them from the Bell Bearing Hunter that shows up in Caelid.
Same with Glintstone scraps, I believe there a few bosses you can fight that give you access to them. Only one I can remember is the Fallingstar Beast in a Caelid Dungeon that you can access via trap chest near the starting area.
Golden fowl foot is goated. No skill or risk involved, just the thought that by the end of the game you will be like 20 levels higher than you would be if you weren't using them.
Uplifting aromatics, freeze pots, sleep pots, rot pots, the meat that increases your attack by 30% etc. there are people who have literally steamrolled this game with only consumables. The only reason they aren't widely used is because fromsoft did a terrible job with the crafting system making so many ingredients extremely tedious to obtain.
@@WokeandProud And that's true of quite a few it's true. Not just that though. Firebombs are a useful way to tack fire damage onto any non-incantation build in the early game, as well as having comparable damage and better range to flame sling. What's the cost to make them? Oh just random crap you find lying on the floor everywhere or in fires. Also if you're too lazy to mash Y when looting stuff just about every fucking enemy in stormveil vomits them at you. People still don't use them. Also no book necessary you have the recipe by default.
Rainbow Stone and Glowstones - apart for the fall damage instant kill checking, when exploring mindlessly or looking for shortcuts while not viewing youtubers pinpointing the spots, in fear of spoilers - there are a few dungeons which are a bit of a labirynth and are hard to navigate (or I was too drunk to pay attention when playing). These stones solved a navigational struggle like Ariadne's thread
I also gotta say that the lighting in the game can be rough at points. Sometimes a torch or even light spell isn't enough if you really want to get a check on your surroundings.
Funny thing about the rune arc is that you can also get them from farming rats.... Yes you heard me right, don't ask me why rats have them im not a lore expert.
The purpose of the glass shard is to drop them to lure people into trying to pick them up in PvP so you can get the drop on them. That’s what they’re used for. If you pay attention, you’ll notice that Demi-humans play this trick on the player as well. Also, it is criminal that the albinauric pot doesn’t prevent Malenia from healing. If it did, it would be an absolute top tier consumable just for that.
The acid spray mist could help you against Godfrey since his kit is entirely physical,it could help you against malenia provided that you have a buddy jangling keys in front of her face because it's the only way you're hitting her with.
You're just completely wrong about the rainbow stones. In addition to gauging fall damage, they can be used to find the borders of invisible bridges, and also to mark areas where you have already been. This is useful in confusing areas like the sewer pipes under Leyndell, or those catacombs that are like an exact duplicate on top of each other.
I never had problems navigating those areas, nor have I had any problems with invisible bridges. I pick up tons of spare arrows and bolts, enough to arm a small army, so I may as well use them to detect invisible bridges. But if other people use them, more power to them
@@TheZombieburner Also there's one by the leyndell merchant shack that gets you like four bolus types buyable. One of them is green. Don't wanna put in enough faith for flame cleanse or cure poison? Don't wanna swap in and out seals, spell slots, and talismans on a non-faith build? Also don't wanna waste healing in basic poison areas? Free. The other two hunters are bones and meat. Easier to farm, but I think we all prefer just being able to buy a stack if we're gonna craft.
@@julianleverton7045Yeah? The isolated merchant's shack is technically dragonbarrow. The bell bearing gets you gravity chunks and fans. Far west side of the dragonbarrow area.
I think Holy Water Pot deserves a MUCH higher placement here, solely because of early game Death Bird fights, as they take a huge amount of damage from the pots' hidden modifier against Those Who Live in Death. While Sacred Blade is always an option, having to go back to a grace to equip it or switch to a different weapon is a lot more inconvenient than crafting a few pots, and the Holy Water ones will ALWAYS do more damage than anything else, regardless of build. Another thing worth noting is that they cost way less FP than the Sacred Blade projectile and can easily be used at range.
explosive stones are really good in that one cave in altus during the fight against the stonedigger troll if you throw them right at the start. he gets almost 1-shot because he's surrounded by explosive barrels. that is the only time you ever need to use these, and you pick 3 of them up at the start of the cave anyway.
That troll must be real unpopular at his workplace if his coworkers set him up like that We're talking "microwaving fish in the break room" kind of bad
You've never used the Furlcalling Finger Remedy?... I wasn't aware that it was possible to do Co-op WITHOUT the remedy; I've literally never seen a summon sign without using the remedy first. Edit: Shield Grease is actually the item that disappointed me so much, that I stopped playing the game for a year. I thought it was an item to increase the block potential on a melee item (Like it's grease that turns weapons into shields.) Finding out that it just increases the block potential on shields was infuriating.
I actually found help through each portion of the hailigtree dungeons with that remedy stuff and each multiplayer area had multiple players to choose from (I was so confused where to go I had to get help 🤣)
13:28 - after using Explosive Stones for a while in a RL1 run, I was under the impression they cause significant stance damage. I have no way of datamining this, but if I'm right, then there's some decent utility. Also, Gravel Stone can be farmed from the miners in Yelough Anix Tunnel, no idea why.
I thought he was done after the weapons but thank god he isnt. What's next, enemy types? Hair colors? Weapon types? Mini bosses? NPCs ranked by hateability (with Seluvis top 2 and not at number 2)?
did he ranked the "factions"/ groups of the game already? i sincerely dont know. like, if he already spoke about the volcano group, the carians, the haligtree milicia etc etc?
9:12 Prism stones had the same effect in the Dark Souls games And speaking honestly the only time I used them in Elden Ring was when I was jumping across the roofs of Raya Lucaria, because I had never even heard of anyone doing something like that when I first got there and didn't know if there were any spots that would send me to a death cam
57:19 - The best part about volcano pots is you can easily farm a bunch of Volcanic Stone at the Primeval Sorcerer Azur site of grace. Spawn in, face away from the stone bridge and a few feet away are a cluster of rocks. With the Silver PFF equipped, some stones will give a x2 on pickup, and in no time, running back and forth to the grace will result in hundreds of pots worth of stones 😊
I don't think he actually knows they're required for multiplayer, he didn't know what prism stones did either. He seems to have the most fun just doing the combat so I think he'll tend to undervalue anything that doesn't directly deal damage or help you take hits.
Holy pots are actually one of my most used pots. I don't fond normal pots super useful for much, but 1 shotting most skeletons in the game, and preventing them from resurrecting even if they're the kind that are protected by necromancers is pretty valuable, imo.
Fire pots are literally better than flame sling in the early game, and one of your only ranged options that's decent early on if you aren't some manner of caster. Also fire weaknesses, and exploding barrels. Also mage pots have more than twice the base damage of holy pots.
@@hockeater You missed the point of his comment. He was using them for the holy effect on skeletions, meaning he didn't feel the need for the other pots, and the holy pots came in use for him in various situations. I wonder if you replied to the wrong comment.
I have multiple uses for rainbow stones. Back when I was new to the game I used them for invisible bridges and determining fall heights. Nowadays I always make sure to leave them at the feet of friendos like Kale, Miriem, Hewg, and Roderika. Rune fragments are farmable, btw. Most of the big fragments of crumbling farum dotting the land have rune fragments on them that respawn when you rest at/teleport to a site of grace.
Btw, since the DLC came out the usefulness of Clarifying meats has gone up a bit. Now you can use them + some method of curing Sleep buildup to easily give you enough resistance for Lulling Branches to not proc Sleep on you any time after they're used. It's niche since obviously you can just cure Sleep buildup when it starts to get too high, but not having to worry about needing to potentially do that mid-combat (and instead doing it during a buffing phase) is decently nice.
I think the bone darts are the real "eye pebbles" from bloodborne. They exist in overwhelming abundance, they have a better trajectory than ruin fragments and do at least *some* damage, maybe even enough to shave off 1 hit worth of hp depending on your weapon of choice. While poison darts are better, they also require more materials. Not expensive ones but still enough for me to never even care about using them. Bone darts are the best tool for picking out one enemy at a time in this game.
@@kimjanek646 I'm not sure about other players, but I for sure only used pebbles in Bloodborne to draw out an enemy away from others so I wouldn't get ganked. Bloodborne enemies react very quickly and can have annoying aggro rangers, so the pebbles are really useful in drawing out enemies. I never used one to distract an enemy to get a backstab. Mostly because backstabbing in Bloodborne actually requires a charged R2 to stagger and then R1 to do the visceral (crit).
@@kimjanek646 You said pebbles and Elden Ring doesn't have pebbles, so of course I thought you were talking about Bloodborne. My point still stands in that with the daggers or darts or whatever I still only use them to pull enemies to me to separate them from large groups and not to fish for backstabs.
It's niche, but comboing Ironjar Aromatic + Warming Stones + Holy Ground can hard counter BBEGs that do primarily physical damage for a short period of time. This prevents you from needing to heal nearly as often during the effect, and you can even add Frenzyflame Stones for even more healing depending on your quest progression. As long as you have some means of heavy melee DPS and also some decent ranged option if the enemy is lured away (by other players, spirits, or whatever) then you're pretty much set.
Glass Shard's singular use is open PvP trapping and trolling, where you drop a ton of them at barely any cost to you, and set up some elaborate BS to lure invaders in. Won't need to worry about dying and losing the dropped items, as you can buy a hundred of them by just killing a grunt in the endgame area.
I like the bone darts for when I'm in an area where my sorceries are just slightly too weak to kill common enemies, so I can shave off the last sliver of their hp without needing to spend more fp.
I like to think that after every Rusty video, the fextralife page for the topic in question gets double the amount of views for that day. In this case, I think we could triple that number instead.
I wish I made this statement weeks ago on another video, but during an 8-12 hour work day, it's always nice to have these videos playing. Thank you for all the work and jokes and analysis. Funny thing, too, your content motivated me to play Elden Ring again after almost a year of shelving it- and a week before the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC release date reveal too! And damn, I felt something akin to catharsis from seeing Silver-Pickled Fowl Feet at #79, especially after bothering to use a whole stack of these abysmal trainwrecks of sparkling obfuscation to farm for ONE Noble's Slender Sword to no avail. An ignorant version of me didn't realize just how grain-of-sand insignificant "50" discovery truly is in the grand scope of things and decided to hoard these for that endangered species of a weapon. After many hours of trying, wasting, failing, and drinking, I gave up. And then, on another day, the game flipped me the hell off and handed me two Noble's Estocs within five minutes of accidentally killing three of those wandering bastards. One day, I'll have a playthrough that encounters the Slender Sword, or maybe two of them, but I know for a fact that munching on another stack of these shiny gacha-toes will have a genshin impact on my mental health.
I’ve been tossing rainbow stones off edges since before Elden Ring lol, sometimes you’re just not sure if you can make that without dying, and it’s not like there’s a shortage of monkeys to rob them from
I always keep rainbow stones in my side slots and test the rainbow stones quite often. I also use to as a placemarker in mazes like azure side tomb and certain caves.
You can actually farm rune arcs and arteria leaf, they're just quite rare. You can farm rune arcs from giant rats (the hidden cave in the north of the weeping peninsula is good) and you can farm arteria leafs from frost trolls (best place is the site of grace right after the chain leading up to the fire giant and ROB church area).
To any new viewers of this video that are hoping for a well thought out and informative video, just read this comment. This comment will save you a lot of time because Rusty is apparently an idiot and blatantly spreading misinformation. Let's begin with everything wrong with this video! Glass Shards are not a consumable. They shouldn't even be on the list. Beast Blood is easily farmed from normal bears and boars. You probably won't need help finding these enemies if you're around the Third Church of Marika. Old Fangs can be farmed from boars and misbegotten, an easy farm route is the Third Church of Marika where several boars can be found. Castle More has plenty of misbegotten though boars are far easier to farm. Rimed Crystal Buds are found in abundance in the Consecrated Snowfield and they respawn every time you rest at a grace. Trina Lilies can be farmed from Cleanrot Knights in Caelid. Miquella Lilies can be farmed in the Haligtree by killing various knights and soldiers. String is easily farmed in one of the many places where Demi-Humans exist. Try the Lux Ruins in Altus or the Demi-Human Forest Ruins in the Weeping Peninsula. Arteria Leaves can be farmed by killing the Snow Giants in the Mountaintop of Giants. Aeonian Butterflies are farmed from Kindered of Rot Pests, easily found in the Haligtree, ironically in the same place you can farm Miquella lilies. Golden Centipedes can be farmed from the Erdtree Guardians at the Minor Erdtree Church in Altus, just past the 2 Tree Sentinels. You can straight up buy Cracked Crystals for crafting after getting the somberstone miner's bell bearing 2 and giving it to the merchant at the Roundtable Hold. You can also buy Gravity Stone Fans and Chunks after turning over the bell you get for killing the Bell Bearing Hunter in Caelid. He's found at night at the Isolated Merchant's Shack. If you're an online player, and you have friends or make friends that play Elden Ring, you can also ask them for materials or items. Whether or not they give you any is up to them, don't be pushy. Ask for what you need and what you want to craft with it, that helps. As for the order of the list this video has, and the reasons? Just use what you like, and use what you think is fun or helpful. Don't let someone else lecture you on statistics and information when they themselves have no idea what they are talking about. I've edited this with more information to make farming easier for new players.
Very helpful comment. The video is funny but poorly researched. How can it be poorly researched when the game came out in 2022? It's 2024. But, Rusty often used the wrong catalysts in Dark Souls 3 when ranking spells so I think it is comedy over quality with him.
No idea if there was a patch in the interim, or the DLC itself that changed this, but Ruin Fragments can be obtained in unlimited supply via those collapsed tower-looking places by resting at graces, and some respawning enemies also drop them~
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11 the most fun of the game is subjective player to player. I personally hate that playing Co op means I can be invaded whenever. I don't play for the pvp. So no. It doesn't suddenly make it top 5.
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11 and if anything the fact that an item is required to play coop also drops it's value in my opinion. Doesnt cost anything to place a sign down why does it cost an item to interact with it
The primary use of glass shards is not dissimilar to how demihumans use them - to humiliate someone you've tricked into thinking you're a benevolent host/invader giving away items while you pound them into the ground with a big hammer.
Rainbow stones have done that since at least dark souls one. I thought everyone knew that was their point. It’s how you know whether you can fall without dying. Loud noise = don’t jump It’s always been hugely useful for exploration of places you don’t know well.
The issue isn't about liking it or not. It's just very rare that using torrent actually benefits you. Even then your probably stuck using a halberd and the horseback talisman for better maths. This being said it's hard to argue in torrents favor as this disables ashes, combo proc potential, and usually costs you a potion/ farming some raisins as well as healing yourself. I do however love that the silent walking spell works on torrent. And so do all golden order buffs (tho torrent ignores swamps making that awkward again.
Raw meat dumpling is incredibly good to have in your belt when you have the mimic tear summoned. They can eat them an unlimited amount of times during battle and not be affected by the poison.
I've played for well over 300 hours (maybe closer to 400), and there are definitely a few fairly useful ones. Mostly for PvP, though. Raw meat dumplings are good for Kindred of Rot builds and emergency healing when out of flasks, and fan daggers are good for killing players/NPCs who are at low health.
@@TuxedoKamina What an NPC take. There's 308 weapons, 101 incantations, 70 spells and 91 ashes of war in the game, how does not using consumables make the game "boring"? Quite the opposite, that's what makes the game fun, not spamming consumables.
@@Pvrge. A lot of consumables have effects that completely eclipse the benefits of other ashes/spells, or open up any character to a much greater range of diversity.
@@Gatchu137 I don't disagree with that, I think consumables can be fun if that's your kind of thing. I was responding to someone who said that playing without consumables automatically made the game "boring". So, my point was that the game has a ton of content to play around, and you don't need to use consumables to have fun, but I don't think that they're useless either, they're simply not appealing to me.
Rimed Crystal Buds can be farmed from Consecrated Snowfields. There's a big ass tree with red flowers surrounding it that has like, 14 of the things just sitting there.
Thanks for helping all of us kill time these last 2 years while we wait for the DLC with these high-quality, well made and funny videos Rusty. One small thing though Stanching Boluses - No. 76 Soap - No. 42 You can't keep getting away with this
The fact you can't eat glass shards to bleed yourself is such a wasted opportunity. I don't care if there's more efficient ways to activate Blood Exultation, I just think it'd be really funny

Hey yo, was there like a bar between the two "o"s?
- Omar Little
Honestly, with how quickly fall dmg goes from "none at all" to "fucking death" I used Rainbow Stones quite a lot. For example, the bridge in the fringefolk heroes grave with the two grafted scions, or that one area with a couple rats on a random ceiling in stormveil castle, both left me wondering wether or not I could survive, and the stones help determine that.
A friend of mine with shit orientation also uses them as waymarkers. I think they are a very flavorful and interesting item.
It should also be mentioned that the white scriptstone can reveal developer messages in offline mode, which can be quite useful if you can't access the net and want to get hints for illusion walls and stuffs regardless.
Also if you have good navigation and are in any of the three or so areas in the game deliberately designed to be disorienting.
Well said. Rainbow Stones help many players in intentionally confusing areas like the Shunning Grounds, Auriza Side Tomb, or Leyndell Catacombs.
I never go through Hidden Path to the Haligtree without a good stock of rainbow stone arrows
Also can be used for cute or cool lighting when you take screenshots :D
Yeah Rainbow stones and glowstones are hella useful, and they help with invisible bridges also
27:15 You can actually farm infinite Rimed Crystal buds without killing anything. There is a tree roughly fifteen seconds away from Ordina, Liturgical Town that will give you about fifty buds per visit. These buds will also respawn after resting at a grace.

You get the most out of warming stones if you use them in dungeons where you don't get flask replenishments. For example you are in Stormveil, you took a good bit of damage but there are no enemies around. Instead of using a flask, you drop a stone and save the flask use for when healing is more urgent.

Just heavy attack do you have your heavy will stop you from falling if it’s over a lethal fall
@@WakoolsPretty sure attacking at any ledge (except very finicky ones) will stop you from falling. I've had moments where there was a "ledge" barely taller than a stair and it stopped my character.
@Wakools I am not going to trust that in the subterranean shunning grounds when I can keep my feet still and my stamina full
I actually have a good reason for the ruin fragment becoming purchasable so late: it helps the player make the lore connection between the ruins in limgrave and farum azula. I actually remember that moment from my first playthrough, it just happened to hit me
I have over 200 hours in this game and I never made that connection actually. Thats brilliant
Rainbow stone is THE item to discover,navigate and mark invisible bridges, maybe in the dlc we will be very gratefull for them to exist because of a mercyless invisible maze of death in a pitch black cave.
Edit:yes I’m well aware there are very few places where you find these usefull and playing online might render them kinda useless, but by design its meant to be an usefull item unlike many around the bottom end of the list, stuff that actively hinders your progress if used in combat cause literally almost anything you do is better than that item. This item helps you when you need it
I was gonna say the same thing! My first run I kept them on my non-d-pad hotbar and would check every ledge that felt uncertain!
Yeah but navigating invisible bridges means nothing in Elden ring lol, unless you desperately want one throw away dungeon
I can think of one dungeon this applies to….. near the end of the game
You can use rainbow stones to check if a fall is deadly or not😂

For me. The Rainbow Stone warning about fatal falls is for me
I've got over 700 hours in the game at this point so most of the use I get out of it these days is actually tagging paths in places like the sewers (so many smithing stones to collect) or some of the more confusing catacombs BUT especially in the first few playthroughs, this was invaluable PRECISELY because of how merciless the fall damage is, it can be really hard to judge on some drops where you actually have to fall and these help a lot
With Elden Ring being as vertical as it is, this feature is more important than ever
If there was ever any doubt as to whether Rusty still has any sanity left:
The man took the time to put a time stamp for each consumable.
hahahahahahah you are right!
I mean, not that it makes a huge difference, but you didn’t even mention that soft cotton also has the effect of the cat talisman … I use it all the time in the subterranean shunning grounds when you have to drop off the pipes. Again, not that it makes it a super useful item, but it’s not useless
19:56 the only thing I can give the Raw Meat Dumpling is that the Mimic Tear can use them as recovery with zero downside
Which.... Big.
Yup, came in to say this. Most useful with Radadog especially.
Have you ever play pvp?
Yep, I was hoping someone would mention this. It's the reason why I always have them on me before summoning my Mimic Tear.
The character run fromsoft based the faith arc on, is one that starts faithful, and uses faith to heal and do faith damage, then, finds out it's reliance in the holy is weak, and switches to fire.
It runs off the same stat, and while it's odd margot resists holy and the fire giant eats fire for breakfast, i think this is the story of the faithful tarnished, who finds faith in fire, and gives up on the sacred order
You can tell Rusty never fully explored the mountain tops and their invisible platforms by the way he was shitting on the rainbow stones
You mean that one section of invisible bridges in the hidden path to the haligtree?
And the other tower where you get spells or memory stones
Use hoarfrost stomp
I did but I never used rainbow stones for that. I just followed messages
Can you blame him lol
In regards to the Gravity Stone items, you don’t actually have to farm them, you can get a Bell Bearing for them from the Bell Bearing Hunter that shows up in Caelid.
Same with Glintstone scraps, I believe there a few bosses you can fight that give you access to them. Only one I can remember is the Fallingstar Beast in a Caelid Dungeon that you can access via trap chest near the starting area.
Cant wait till the dlc drops so we will get a whole ocean of new rankings
Grace mimics have netted me a total of 12 gravity kills in conjunction with a greatbow and a naive host, as an invader. Underrated item.
The fact that the thumbnail says “None of these are good” just says it all
The raw meat dumpling is very good, so it’s innacurate.
Gino showed other wise
Golden fowl foot is goated. No skill or risk involved, just the thought that by the end of the game you will be like 20 levels higher than you would be if you weren't using them.
Uplifting aromatics, freeze pots, sleep pots, rot pots, the meat that increases your attack by 30% etc. there are people who have literally steamrolled this game with only consumables.
The only reason they aren't widely used is because fromsoft did a terrible job with the crafting system making so many ingredients extremely tedious to obtain.
@@WokeandProud And that's true of quite a few it's true. Not just that though. Firebombs are a useful way to tack fire damage onto any non-incantation build in the early game, as well as having comparable damage and better range to flame sling. What's the cost to make them? Oh just random crap you find lying on the floor everywhere or in fires. Also if you're too lazy to mash Y when looting stuff just about every fucking enemy in stormveil vomits them at you. People still don't use them. Also no book necessary you have the recipe by default.
Silver Pickled Fowl Foot are great if you want that Albinauric Polearm for your Sleep/Bleed Build.
You could use the Glass Shards as item bait for an ambush during an invasion
Me? Play online? Pshh... 😂
yeah but you can use literally anything else as well
@@eta2321 True, but these can be used without using an item with actual value
@@itol2201 Based
Yeah exactly, everything else is worth more.
Rainbow Stone and Glowstones - apart for the fall damage instant kill checking, when exploring mindlessly or looking for shortcuts while not viewing youtubers pinpointing the spots, in fear of spoilers - there are a few dungeons which are a bit of a labirynth and are hard to navigate (or I was too drunk to pay attention when playing). These stones solved a navigational struggle like Ariadne's thread
I also gotta say that the lighting in the game can be rough at points. Sometimes a torch or even light spell isn't enough if you really want to get a check on your surroundings.

@@darkmega97don’t say that you know he will do it at this point
Hmm I know some imps that belong deep in Ftier on the enemy placement list.
Funny thing about the rune arc is that you can also get them from farming rats.... Yes you heard me right, don't ask me why rats have them im not a lore expert.
The same reason the rats have humanity in other souls titles: they consume corpses, so presumably the also consume shreds of humanity
the meat dumpling has a use actually
if you equip it in your hotbar, the mimic tear will use it
and since mimic tear doesnt get poisoned...
The mini-guide on how to farm Rune Bears is honestly super useful, thanks Rusty!
The purpose of the glass shard is to drop them to lure people into trying to pick them up in PvP so you can get the drop on them. That’s what they’re used for. If you pay attention, you’ll notice that Demi-humans play this trick on the player as well.
Also, it is criminal that the albinauric pot doesn’t prevent Malenia from healing. If it did, it would be an absolute top tier consumable just for that.
The acid spray mist could help you against Godfrey since his kit is entirely physical,it could help you against malenia provided that you have a buddy jangling keys in front of her face because it's the only way you're hitting her with.
You're just completely wrong about the rainbow stones. In addition to gauging fall damage, they can be used to find the borders of invisible bridges, and also to mark areas where you have already been. This is useful in confusing areas like the sewer pipes under Leyndell, or those catacombs that are like an exact duplicate on top of each other.
I never had problems navigating those areas, nor have I had any problems with invisible bridges. I pick up tons of spare arrows and bolts, enough to arm a small army, so I may as well use them to detect invisible bridges. But if other people use them, more power to them
Or just use the messages.
I used them in the sewer pipes to mark routes that I’ve been to already, super helpful
I can't tell if this comment is a joke or not... bravo.
@@MrInkblots Why would it be a joke?
The cotton also reduce fall damage, never used for stealth
Hey rusty and anyone who sees this. The gravity consumables can be bought after defeating dragonbarrow bell bearing hunter, thought I’d share
Officer and a gentleman, this commenter.
Was looking for this comment, to make sure I wasn't double posting!
@@TheZombieburner Also there's one by the leyndell merchant shack that gets you like four bolus types buyable. One of them is green. Don't wanna put in enough faith for flame cleanse or cure poison? Don't wanna swap in and out seals, spell slots, and talismans on a non-faith build? Also don't wanna waste healing in basic poison areas? Free. The other two hunters are bones and meat. Easier to farm, but I think we all prefer just being able to buy a stack if we're gonna craft.
...there's a bell bearing hunter in Dragonbarrow?
@@julianleverton7045Yeah? The isolated merchant's shack is technically dragonbarrow. The bell bearing gets you gravity chunks and fans. Far west side of the dragonbarrow area.
I think Holy Water Pot deserves a MUCH higher placement here, solely because of early game Death Bird fights, as they take a huge amount of damage from the pots' hidden modifier against Those Who Live in Death.
While Sacred Blade is always an option, having to go back to a grace to equip it or switch to a different weapon is a lot more inconvenient than crafting a few pots, and the Holy Water ones will ALWAYS do more damage than anything else, regardless of build.
Another thing worth noting is that they cost way less FP than the Sacred Blade projectile and can easily be used at range.
They're what I use to fight every deathbird, thousands of damage from a single consumable with PISS easy materials to farm.
OnlyWaifu: The weapon ranking is so bad
Rusty: Here's all consumables, btw
Gotta love Rusty's IDGAF attitude
Oh yes...OnlyIhaveBluBalls opinions..... great source of cringe and fun...
28:28 come on rusty you know exactly why😂
Rusty's viewers: The tierlist is bad because you didn't rank Rainbow Stone high enough
His weapon tier list is awful, but he already knows that lol
That Rad Counter sound for the glowstone is a wonderful touch 😂
explosive stones are really good in that one cave in altus during the fight against the stonedigger troll if you throw them right at the start. he gets almost 1-shot because he's surrounded by explosive barrels. that is the only time you ever need to use these, and you pick 3 of them up at the start of the cave anyway.
That troll must be real unpopular at his workplace if his coworkers set him up like that
We're talking "microwaving fish in the break room" kind of bad

You've never used the Furlcalling Finger Remedy?... I wasn't aware that it was possible to do Co-op WITHOUT the remedy; I've literally never seen a summon sign without using the remedy first. Edit: Shield Grease is actually the item that disappointed me so much, that I stopped playing the game for a year. I thought it was an item to increase the block potential on a melee item (Like it's grease that turns weapons into shields.) Finding out that it just increases the block potential on shields was infuriating.
Other than NPC summons, you can't. He said that he never summoned anyone.
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem This confirms Rusty has no friends.
It's probably because he just likely uses the Seamless Coop mod
@@dime7267 Not exactly fair to rank items based off of mods if that’s the case, haha.
I actually found help through each portion of the hailigtree dungeons with that remedy stuff and each multiplayer area had multiple players to choose from (I was so confused where to go I had to get help 🤣)
13:28 - after using Explosive Stones for a while in a RL1 run, I was under the impression they cause significant stance damage. I have no way of datamining this, but if I'm right, then there's some decent utility.
Also, Gravel Stone can be farmed from the miners in Yelough Anix Tunnel, no idea why.
I thought he was done after the weapons but thank god he isnt. What's next, enemy types? Hair colors? Weapon types? Mini bosses? NPCs ranked by hateability (with Seluvis top 2 and not at number 2)?
did he ranked the "factions"/ groups of the game already? i sincerely dont know. like, if he already spoke about the volcano group, the carians, the haligtree milicia etc etc?
An unironic hair ranking of all bosses, npcs and enemies would actually be interesting
Please don't consider me a "Rusty groupie" but dang dude you're putting in the digital celluloid and we appreciate you. Cheers.
9:12 Prism stones had the same effect in the Dark Souls games
And speaking honestly the only time I used them in Elden Ring was when I was jumping across the roofs of Raya Lucaria, because I had never even heard of anyone doing something like that when I first got there and didn't know if there were any spots that would send me to a death cam
57:19 - The best part about volcano pots is you can easily farm a bunch of Volcanic Stone at the Primeval Sorcerer Azur site of grace. Spawn in, face away from the stone bridge and a few feet away are a cluster of rocks. With the Silver PFF equipped, some stones will give a x2 on pickup, and in no time, running back and forth to the grace will result in hundreds of pots worth of stones 😊
rainbow/prism stones have always told fall damage it has given me good insight on bossrun skips before
Why the spark aromatic is the best:
It cosplays the firecracker in Sekiro perfectly
You heart Vaati, all runebears, it is... inevitable.
I'm kinda surprised nothing about onlywiafus video was mentioned. Better man than me rusty
I'm surprised you disliked the Furlcalling Remedy so much, co-op is one of my favorite things in this game.
I don't think he actually knows they're required for multiplayer, he didn't know what prism stones did either. He seems to have the most fun just doing the combat so I think he'll tend to undervalue anything that doesn't directly deal damage or help you take hits.

Holy pots are actually one of my most used pots. I don't fond normal pots super useful for much, but 1 shotting most skeletons in the game, and preventing them from resurrecting even if they're the kind that are protected by necromancers is pretty valuable, imo.
Fire pots are literally better than flame sling in the early game, and one of your only ranged options that's decent early on if you aren't some manner of caster. Also fire weaknesses, and exploding barrels. Also mage pots have more than twice the base damage of holy pots.
@@hockeater You missed the point of his comment. He was using them for the holy effect on skeletions, meaning he didn't feel the need for the other pots, and the holy pots came in use for him in various situations. I wonder if you replied to the wrong comment.

I have multiple uses for rainbow stones. Back when I was new to the game I used them for invisible bridges and determining fall heights. Nowadays I always make sure to leave them at the feet of friendos like Kale, Miriem, Hewg, and Roderika. Rune fragments are farmable, btw. Most of the big fragments of crumbling farum dotting the land have rune fragments on them that respawn when you rest at/teleport to a site of grace.
Also the things around the evergaols respawn and seem to have a 100% drop rate.

Btw, since the DLC came out the usefulness of Clarifying meats has gone up a bit. Now you can use them + some method of curing Sleep buildup to easily give you enough resistance for Lulling Branches to not proc Sleep on you any time after they're used. It's niche since obviously you can just cure Sleep buildup when it starts to get too high, but not having to worry about needing to potentially do that mid-combat (and instead doing it during a buffing phase) is decently nice.
I think the bone darts are the real "eye pebbles" from bloodborne. They exist in overwhelming abundance, they have a better trajectory than ruin fragments and do at least *some* damage, maybe even enough to shave off 1 hit worth of hp depending on your weapon of choice. While poison darts are better, they also require more materials. Not expensive ones but still enough for me to never even care about using them. Bone darts are the best tool for picking out one enemy at a time in this game.
The pebbles are probably meant for distraction to get a backstab, instead of pulling.
@@kimjanek646 I'm not sure about other players, but I for sure only used pebbles in Bloodborne to draw out an enemy away from others so I wouldn't get ganked. Bloodborne enemies react very quickly and can have annoying aggro rangers, so the pebbles are really useful in drawing out enemies. I never used one to distract an enemy to get a backstab. Mostly because backstabbing in Bloodborne actually requires a charged R2 to stagger and then R1 to do the visceral (crit).
@@SolaScientia I was talking about Elden Ring
@@kimjanek646 You said pebbles and Elden Ring doesn't have pebbles, so of course I thought you were talking about Bloodborne. My point still stands in that with the daggers or darts or whatever I still only use them to pull enemies to me to separate them from large groups and not to fish for backstabs.
It's niche, but comboing Ironjar Aromatic + Warming Stones + Holy Ground can hard counter BBEGs that do primarily physical damage for a short period of time. This prevents you from needing to heal nearly as often during the effect, and you can even add Frenzyflame Stones for even more healing depending on your quest progression.
As long as you have some means of heavy melee DPS and also some decent ranged option if the enemy is lured away (by other players, spirits, or whatever) then you're pretty much set.
Glass Shard's singular use is open PvP trapping and trolling, where you drop a ton of them at barely any cost to you, and set up some elaborate BS to lure invaders in. Won't need to worry about dying and losing the dropped items, as you can buy a hundred of them by just killing a grunt in the endgame area.
I like the bone darts for when I'm in an area where my sorceries are just slightly too weak to kill common enemies, so I can shave off the last sliver of their hp without needing to spend more fp.
I like to think that after every Rusty video, the fextralife page for the topic in question gets double the amount of views for that day. In this case, I think we could triple that number instead.
I wish I made this statement weeks ago on another video, but during an 8-12 hour work day, it's always nice to have these videos playing. Thank you for all the work and jokes and analysis. Funny thing, too, your content motivated me to play Elden Ring again after almost a year of shelving it- and a week before the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC release date reveal too!
And damn, I felt something akin to catharsis from seeing Silver-Pickled Fowl Feet at #79, especially after bothering to use a whole stack of these abysmal trainwrecks of sparkling obfuscation to farm for ONE Noble's Slender Sword to no avail. An ignorant version of me didn't realize just how grain-of-sand insignificant "50" discovery truly is in the grand scope of things and decided to hoard these for that endangered species of a weapon. After many hours of trying, wasting, failing, and drinking, I gave up. And then, on another day, the game flipped me the hell off and handed me two Noble's Estocs within five minutes of accidentally killing three of those wandering bastards. One day, I'll have a playthrough that encounters the Slender Sword, or maybe two of them, but I know for a fact that munching on another stack of these shiny gacha-toes will have a genshin impact on my mental health.
I’ve been tossing rainbow stones off edges since before Elden Ring lol, sometimes you’re just not sure if you can make that without dying, and it’s not like there’s a shortage of monkeys to rob them from
I always keep rainbow stones in my side slots and test the rainbow stones quite often. I also use to as a placemarker in mazes like azure side tomb and certain caves.
Sometimes I see videos like this and am convinced Rusty doesn't actually just PLAY the game.
Yeah that's how I feel on every single video he makes lmao
You can actually farm rune arcs and arteria leaf, they're just quite rare. You can farm rune arcs from giant rats (the hidden cave in the north of the weeping peninsula is good) and you can farm arteria leafs from frost trolls (best place is the site of grace right after the chain leading up to the fire giant and ROB church area).
To any new viewers of this video that are hoping for a well thought out and informative video, just read this comment. This comment will save you a lot of time because Rusty is apparently an idiot and blatantly spreading misinformation. Let's begin with everything wrong with this video!
Glass Shards are not a consumable. They shouldn't even be on the list.
Beast Blood is easily farmed from normal bears and boars. You probably won't need help finding these enemies if you're around the Third Church of Marika.
Old Fangs can be farmed from boars and misbegotten, an easy farm route is the Third Church of Marika where several boars can be found. Castle More has plenty of misbegotten though boars are far easier to farm.
Rimed Crystal Buds are found in abundance in the Consecrated Snowfield and they respawn every time you rest at a grace.
Trina Lilies can be farmed from Cleanrot Knights in Caelid.
Miquella Lilies can be farmed in the Haligtree by killing various knights and soldiers.
String is easily farmed in one of the many places where Demi-Humans exist. Try the Lux Ruins in Altus or the Demi-Human Forest Ruins in the Weeping Peninsula.
Arteria Leaves can be farmed by killing the Snow Giants in the Mountaintop of Giants.
Aeonian Butterflies are farmed from Kindered of Rot Pests, easily found in the Haligtree, ironically in the same place you can farm Miquella lilies.
Golden Centipedes can be farmed from the Erdtree Guardians at the Minor Erdtree Church in Altus, just past the 2 Tree Sentinels.
You can straight up buy Cracked Crystals for crafting after getting the somberstone miner's bell bearing 2 and giving it to the merchant at the Roundtable Hold.
You can also buy Gravity Stone Fans and Chunks after turning over the bell you get for killing the Bell Bearing Hunter in Caelid. He's found at night at the Isolated Merchant's Shack.
If you're an online player, and you have friends or make friends that play Elden Ring, you can also ask them for materials or items. Whether or not they give you any is up to them, don't be pushy. Ask for what you need and what you want to craft with it, that helps.
As for the order of the list this video has, and the reasons? Just use what you like, and use what you think is fun or helpful. Don't let someone else lecture you on statistics and information when they themselves have no idea what they are talking about. I've edited this with more information to make farming easier for new players.
Very helpful comment. The video is funny but poorly researched. How can it be poorly researched when the game came out in 2022? It's 2024. But, Rusty often used the wrong catalysts in Dark Souls 3 when ranking spells so I think it is comedy over quality with him.
No idea if there was a patch in the interim, or the DLC itself that changed this, but Ruin Fragments can be obtained in unlimited supply via those collapsed tower-looking places by resting at graces, and some respawning enemies also drop them~

The issue isn't about liking it or not. It's just very rare that using torrent actually benefits you. Even then your probably stuck using a halberd and the horseback talisman for better maths.
This being said it's hard to argue in torrents favor as this disables ashes, combo proc potential, and usually costs you a potion/ farming some raisins as well as healing yourself.

Raw meat dumpling is incredibly good to have in your belt when you have the mimic tear summoned. They can eat them an unlimited amount of times during battle and not be affected by the poison.

I've played for well over 300 hours (maybe closer to 400), and there are definitely a few fairly useful ones. Mostly for PvP, though.

I was responding to someone who said that playing without consumables automatically made the game "boring".
