There is a lone knight near the artist shack and Carain study hall that drops a book that gives 3 lighting miracles, I just happened to find him and beat him. I still need a few points in faith for one but the two I can use are great.
Regarding the godskin prayer book. You can hand it in to the guy back at the roundtable base who also has the other incantations. That way you don't need to go all the way up through potentially higher level enemies.
For any sort of Holy Paladin aesthetic lovers, like I am myself, the Erdtree Greatshield is so damn fun. So if you like playing with strength and faith, this is your shield. Use it with Fire’s Deadly Sin for a lil extra fun…
I'm rocking a Paladin build, ya know the heavy armor heavy shield. Using a Claymore for my primary but I have the faith light blades for back-up. Miracles are all buffs for now except lightning spear because lightning spear. Faith was dry early but massively improved midgame.
This is perfect for me thanks! Sister of Battle is basically what I'm doing, Warrior Nun running enchantments on a greatsword, faith based primarily but It requires a really broad approach so she has a bit of everything and its a very flexible build, unless you want to carry lots or shoot a bow🤫. There's also an awesome spell along the Ridge near the eastern coast lurnia lake shore grase but its up the top so the eastern tablelands one is easier that's a sorcerery but scales on faith soooo useful to my build but probably few others its the Briars of Sin that the invader in the table of lost Grace uses.
Spells do not scale on attributes, they scale on weapon type. A sorcery needs a staff weapon type which scales on intelligence therefore it is usless in a faith build.
@@wander1027 however my man the spell needs a faith of 24 so I will repeat unless you are running a mixed build such as mine its not a great sorcery to be picking up. Also I am using the prince of death's staff for the times I am still using sorcery because it scales with faith and Int as an A to so not bad gives me a solid +280 nowhere near my miracle bonus but useful for frost magic's
@@wander1027 there's 2 this one scales with faith and intelligence the other scales with just faith. Considering you still need the Intelligence to unlock decent spells the A scalling on both is going to beat out the S scaling on faith in almost every case except MAYBE weapon's buffs for a proper spell sword build. There's also a Staff that scales with Arcane... I genuinely can't figure out what this one is for I'll be honest If you're piling up Arcane your using the Dragon Talisman
Has anyone used blackflame on bloodhound fang? Super o.p. I'm curious why I can use it on bloodhound but not the winged scythe? Also does anyone know how the enchantment scales? Or how the damage works?
For the scarab with the dogs crouch until your in front of it and heavy hit and keep on hitting, so that when when he runs he runs in the opposite direction. I did this first try and none of the dogs were alerted.
You're a very healthy confessor. Lol. Being serious, if it works for you, then go for it. You may be limited in variety and spells, but if it's not broken, don't fix it you'll need a decent amount of health anyways to avoid one shots.
after watching this I may just go with a faith/ summon build. These spells along with the fact that you can level up summons make boss battles super easy.
HELP!!!! When the lady you hug give you a dagger and tells you to return it to the rightful owner and you show it to the guy in the red at the round table. When I returned the hugging lady had killed him in a room and disappeared. Where did the prophet lady that taught you the incantation spells go? I can't find her anywhere. I hope this made sense thx .
I started as a quality build and have started investing in faith since I found the talisman that gives 5 faith. Tbh damage scaling in this game is so different because while I only have 17 faith my faith spells hit rather hard. I did get a catalyst that allows my incantations to scale with strength as well tho a little. My end game plan is to respec and remove all my dex investment so I can become a massive greatsword wielding Paladin my investing in some fp and faith.
I just got my strength to 50 and faith to 35, time to actually play the game instead of grinding. Just need to find another colossal sword to match my great sword so I can as holy damage to both
Prisoner starts with a staff for casting, you have to use a 'seal' to cast any incantation. I didn't run across any during early gameplay. It took me a little while to find a seal I could buy. Twin Seer Husks at the round table sells one ..... Oh and certain weapons, special ones usually, can't be greased or magically buffed at all.
@@ADRIAN-xn2si It's twin Seer Hags actually, they are just husks of their bodies. They are in same hallway as the doorway to the library where the leader reads at a table. At end of hall, around corner to right are the 2 mummified old ladies that still function as merchants. Defeating certain enemies will give you items called 'bearing bells' ...if you give them to her it unlocks more items in her shop. ✌️
Gave Gurranq 4 deathroots. Got a fifth and went back to him and he was aggro’d. Not sure if beast claw was next, but he did not give it with 4 deathroots. He is hella hard. Seems like you can cheese him at the door.
You only have to hit him a couple times for him to de-aggro, you don’t have to kill him. After that rest at the site of grace then he will go back to normal and give you the beastclaw
@@stowawaybanjo if ur still having a hard time you can stand outside the front door as he’s too big to fit through. Then use a bow or fire pots or any sort of ranged attack and should be easy
Due to several friends recommending that I try out a Paladin in DnD, I opted for a Confessor this playthrough. Definitely will be starting a Samurai file at some point soon. I know I'm very early on in the game because I literally recognize only Stormveil Castle as a landmark. But I'm loving the world to get lost in here.
I also started as a confessor. Underwhelming at first but it gets good after. Just make to invest in the right attribute that you feel comfortable with.
I've been doing a strength build with high vigor and endurance, just beat 2nd mainline boss. Does anyone recommend any weapons. Currently level 48 and I'm using a dismounter
@@ZaaRaphz My left hand is gripping my Dismounter, no shield. I do have a a seal for removing poison, and a unique blood dagger and a blood misericorde for when I need quick hits. Mostly I bait out enemy attacks at the edge of their range and use the enhanced range and massive damage of Bloody Slash to punish. On weaker enemies I just stagger lock them to death.
@@shazam2323 It's the dismounter weapon from the horse riding guys east of gatefront with bloody slash from Fort Haight applied to it to give it bleed build up and arcane scaling.
Faith, mostly. That stat directly affects the power of incantations. You'll also need some Mind to give you enough FP to cast them. As far as equipment, any of the seal items will do
I have no clue how to use incantations when played in pc. I equip a fireball but no where i click on the keyboard n mouse, no magic pop up. Playing as a vagabond. Is the magic lock to only specific class?
You need a seal equiped in either hand and then use the main attack button for that hand. This assumes you meet the requirements for the spell in the first place
Level up Faith stat, and equip a seal in one of your hands to cast with left or right attack. The merchant in the Roundtable Hold sells Finger Seals for cheap, but you can find other seals out in the world.
They’re not, I don’t know the details but intelligence is for staves and uses sorceries while faith is for sacred seals and uses incantations(heal spells, buffs, plus I think pyromancy type spells but don’t quote me on that second one)
My build as of right now is unbeatable giant hammer two shots most players and all these terrible players spamming the 3 main katana weapon arts get punished hard for playing like idiots.
Agreed, literally better off with anything else for more consistent damage, I'm running the blackflame ball, lightning strike and flame frenzy, a spell for every occasion

the lightning spear is broken and the lightning bolt is great for weak enemies
I murdered him repeatedly for his armor set. It matches my golden halberd very well.
they are some of the best incantations in the game so yeah definitely use it
why does he never drop anything for me?
@@christianiriotakis6061 Is your arcane really low? Arcane effects your loot frequency.
Note on the Flame of Frenzy: It builds up Frenzy in the caster, and if this bar fills up you take a stupid amount of damage. Cast with caution.
Also drains your fp when the madness procs
Feel like it takes a lot of spamming to reach that point though. I almost forget its a thing when I'm co-oping.
@@mnamesname6059 3 times is enough
At 1:30 the carriage holds the great sword from Berserk.
That flame of frenzy works very well for that boss with the huge hit box in the starting dungeon with the chariot.
Regarding the godskin prayer book. You can hand it in to the guy back at the roundtable base who also has the other incantations. That way you don't need to go all the way up through potentially higher level enemies.
do you still get the same Incantations?
@@Fuck_Anime Should do, they're in the book, not the NPC.
He leaves though
He does say it's "a book of heresy" so maybe that is a trigger for his bad ending quest? Also he leaves after a while.
He will not stay at Roundtable
For the black flame, u can just go to the faith guy at roundtable hold, dont have to go to the turtle
I mean he did say “one of” the npcs you can go to
Yeah but he leaves later in the game. The turtle pope is the only teacher in the game that never moves.

I've been loving astrologer been going for a spell sword type build. Never played a souls game and am loving elden ring
I’m also doing spell sword build. Super fun and a ton of damage.
Been playing a bit, found out you will not be disappointed
I love it when you can do spellblade/battlemage builds
Astrologer is way too op
Praise the sun! Welcome, friend
Excellent video. Easy to follow and to the point. I also appreciate you showing off the spells after getting them.
I went mage for my first play but man am I gonna be enjoying the miracle builds people come up with
The flame of frenzy is also extremely good at getting past people who invade with shields
Mmm those weapon buff effects. Love it.
Black blade sucks it last 5 second there are wayyyy better incantation

I just finished a int play through along with the dlc now I’m doing faith
When I was trying to get whirl of flame I had a really weak dagger, I died, then one of the wolf things killed the bug before I fully died

How do you get into stomrviel castle without doing the bosses
Why do can't you use weapon incantations on certain weapons? The game is not allowing me to use black flame blade on my Reduvia dagger
I believe it’s because it already has bleed on it and the game doesn’t let you have two non physical affects, I can’t use holy buff on my reduvia
