I spent an hour learning darriwil's attack pattern, took off all my armor to dodge everything faster, finally beat him, got the weapon, saw the cheese in this video and realised I chose the hard mode, nice.
Very well done on the guide. I like this style, that way I don't have to watch someone run around for 30 minutes to get all the stuff. Thanks for showing your map locations for each stone! Got a chuckle out of me with the bowling clip lol.
Thank you! Yeah I don't like watching guides where people just fire up the game and turn on the mic and starting doing the whole route at normal gameplay speed... I'd rather be playing! Tried to make this quick and easy. Thanks for the love ❤️
Best weapon. I upgraded it up to 10 and placed runes into Dex and Strength l. By the end of the game I was hitting over between 900-1100 in one strike.
@@TobyWanShinobiI plan on getting this because I struggled with margit and the game is hard but I still want a challenge. Does it make the game very easy?
@@SmxkeGD If you are new like me try a shield with 100% defense like the brass shield as main defense with few rolls here and there....I defeated him easily using a shield...
Anyone watching this recently, Flame of the Redmanes got heavily nerfed so do not rely on it to "cheese" the dude who drops the sword. It still does good damage, but it does not stance break like it does in this older video.
Good luck Tarnished! She ain't easy. I used a summon and bleed against her. Bloodhound fang is actually pretty good I've heard for stunning her and dodging her attacks.
hey i dont know if its just a me thing but after i got smithing stone [4] i went up to the top of the mushroom hill directly connected to that tree that the beetle is on and there was a dead guy and when i picked up his loot i got a smithing stone [5]
Directions of where to find the 2nd stone could be slightly better as it is not very clear, i.e. where the Artist shack is and how to find the path on the right as it goes quite a way before that building near which the beatle is. Especially as the map of that area is not picked up at this point. Otherwise, very nice. Thank you.
I used Dex but grinded a bit to build strength for heavy armour and shields but will also contribute to Bloodhound Fang - which I used mostly throughout the game to the final end.
Man where were you 2 weeks ago with this haha. I found a 5 in siofra river and could never find the 3 and 4 until I caved, and looked up the troll blacksmith. I'm so OP now. Didnt even mean to use one of the best weapons in the game. The dismounter was the most effective sword I found, and then realized BHF was the same, but with bleed. Now I only find defeat in platforming.
To get a +2 somber within Limgrave you just activate Blaid's questline and kill the bloodhound boss. Go to Mistwood Ruins, notice the howl. Go to the merchant north of where you first enter Limgrave. Ask him about the howling in Mistwood, get the finger snap emote. Go back to mistwood ruins, snap your fingers. Talk to Blaid. Go to the bloodhound boss, call for Blaid to aid you. Kill the boss. Talk to Blaid waiting outside, receive a free somber +2. :)
For sure - I think its really the best part of Dark Souls games... the satisfaction of beating a boss. Good luck Tarnished! If you ever need more combat tips for Elden Ring I made an extensive combat guide video that I think is really helpful.
guys if you chose the vagabond class you can easily cheese this boss with its art of war tho you have to time each hit multiple times and you need to consume one of ur mana flasks
Isnt there another Sober Smithing Stone 5 out in the world though? In the sort of underground Siofra area you can assess around where Blaidd is? Thats pretty early on in LimGrave and you dont need to fight any bosses if im not mistaken . The area itself is pretty dangerous for early levels but i mean, so is Caelid. The run to get it is longer and more dangerous but you can get 2 Somber 5's without fighting bosses
Bloody Helice actually gives you i-frames quicker. Almost a whole second's worth, just from the button press. You don't get two attacks though, it's dodge into attack. BH Fang can net you some hitbox porn every now and then.
Sorry i am late but if u use one of the full body sheild or longer shield (I don't know what it is called) and then just block darwills attack and proceed to kill him
So the teleport move is only given once you upgrade it? I've been using it at level 0 still and I'm doing caelid dungeons. Also I wanna use this weapon for a while so what stats should I upgrade for it?
Lol the boss is super easy. I beat him as a level 10 wretch with a lordsworn straight sword and no ash of war except whatever basic attack that weapon had. Excellent guide tho can't wait to level up this sword
It looks like you are using bloodhound step. Why doesn’t this video mention you need that in the intro when using it? Or am I wrong? that dash attack doesn’t come with the fang ? My R2 is just an attack
Idk I’m in the same situation. No invisible beetle
Рік тому
Is there any way to move this sword faster? I have made up to level 100 only using a basic longsword bacause it hit 3 times in less than 3 seconds. Now Im trying to learn how to fight with Bloodhound Fang but it is too slow for me.
No way to speed it up. Just gotta realize its a heavy hitting weapon. Gotta get good at using it for an opening attack and breaking opponents stance, then following up with quicker attacks. Very much a weapon that requires good timing / waiting for attack openings. Using the backstep dodge attack is kind of a way to negate the slowness of the weapon.
Why oh why does this weapon not turn gold or red when fully upgraded that’s the only downside but I Main this weapon & im so underwhelmed if I try any other weapon, it’s that strong 💪🏼
Please reply im very confused. So i recently defeated godrick. And ive been using base bloodhounds fang. I have 16 sombers but it just wont let me upgrade and hewg doesnt want to uograde it either. Please help this is a major part of the game that wont let me bypass
Gotta have the level of somber smithing stone that matches the level you are upgrading to. eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Somber+Smithing+Stones#:~:text=You'll%20need%20to%20visit,current%20level%20of%20your%20weapon.
You can't put an ash of war on a somber weapon (a weapon that is upgraded with somber stones and has a unique skill like bloodhound finesse). Easily the biggest draw back to somber weapons.
Yes, you get it from Gelmir Hero's grave dungeon... A horrific experience in that dungeon though haha - chariot puzzle hell. Here is a video with a complete guide: ua-cam.com/video/NCxzgVdP5S0/v-deo.html
This is not arguably the best weapon. This is the best weapon in the game.... As for how early you get it and how powerful it is. Stagger to attack speed ratio. It is outright broken
I spent an hour learning darriwil's attack pattern, took off all my armor to dodge everything faster, finally beat him, got the weapon, saw the cheese in this video and realised I chose the hard mode, nice.
Same but i just took off all armor except sword and shield and kept on block attacking
Guys summon blaidd
Lol I've never tried to learn anyone's pattern I just run in and smoke um. Fuck all that shit😂😂😂

Hey, can you not put an ash of war on bloodhounds fang and moonveil ?
No, anything that takes somber stones to upgrade has a unique ash of war that can't be changed.
Quite easy to get summon for that fight. Almost no running around required.
Can you get great sword from summon after befriending the guy?
Amazing is an understatement fpr this guide. Thank boss 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Shubham! ❤️
This weapon looks rad. Thanks for the great guide! I'm gonna do your exact guide when I start my new character... just have to beat Malenia first 😞
Good luck Tarnished! She ain't easy. I used a summon and bleed against her. Bloodhound fang is actually pretty good I've heard for stunning her and dodging her attacks.

you can also grab a somber 6 from mt gelmir without having to fight anyone, and if you use blaidd before the fight, he gives you a somber 2.
Do you focus more on strength or dexterity to increase damage or do you level those up equally?
Dex
You can do both equally
I used Dex but grinded a bit to build strength for heavy armour and shields but will also contribute to Bloodhound Fang - which I used mostly throughout the game to the final end.

@YoucefBoukhelal yes you have to upgrade the weapon than try it... it's amazing

Hey what happens if I killed the bloodhound boss and didn’t use the blaidd quest? Can I still get the +2 somber?
Yeah you just have to do the blaidd quest but he'll just be there at the evergaol
To come to find I liked this weapon cause it looked cool. And then I'm finding out all this cool stuff 💀
What a great guide 👍👍

i like this weapon cause reminds of the farron greatsword from ds3 and i love that weapon
sorry but this guys video are so confusing
gotta learn the basics first.
@@over_heroic88true but speeding up the video x50 and doing jump-cuts while trying to show a path for the stones is a bit stupid
How!? This couldn’t been any simpler lol
bloodhound had me going nuts till i finally cheesed him using dragons head fire breath that took away his life /drained and just kept running away lol
I’m confused I got a +5 stone but can’t upgrade it says I’m missing an item
Was that night cavalry set altered without the cloak? (With confessor hood). Looked totally sweet
Straight outta limegrave 😂 love the video
You can really get strong weapons from a Limgrave. Golden halberd is another example
what is that armor that he's using at 1:10 please? someone else asked but no reply
Ty but is there a early way to get the 6 and 7 too?
Bro It took me 25 tries to get this and you just cheesed it
Flame of the Redmanes = OP
So the teleport move is only given once you upgrade it? I've been using it at level 0 still and I'm doing caelid dungeons. Also I wanna use this weapon for a while so what stats should I upgrade for it?
Teleport move is always available... just have to heavy swing again after the move finishes. Dex and strength are best
@@TobyWanShinobi done it all thanks. Leveling up Dex and mind and health rn.
Or you can use the npc blaidd to get the weapon for you.
Where can i level up my weapon
Grilled cheese with utz salt and vinegar chips. Bussin
Flame of the Redmanes was nerfed massively...
When I’d hit him twice with the flame it wouldn’t make him vulnerable… any advice?
Unfortunately flame of the redmanes has been nerfed :(
@@TobyWanShinobi so what do I do know lmao I tierd so hard to get the flames
what is that armor that you're using at 1:10?
For some reason I can’t even see the whetstone knife in my inventory I even checked twice what do I do?😢
Oh, and I have been eating too many Girl Scout mint chocolate pretzels lately... so good!
Girl scout mint chocolate pretzels?! Whaaaat? Where did you acquire such a snack??

Lol the boss is super easy. I beat him as a level 10 wretch with a lordsworn straight sword and no ash of war except whatever basic attack that weapon had.
Excellent guide tho can't wait to level up this sword
I can’t use any of my ash of wars on the blood gang weapon?
It is a somber smithing stone weapon, which means you can't change the ash of war.... it has its own unique ash of war
It looks like you are using bloodhound step. Why doesn’t this video mention you need that in the intro when using it? Or am I wrong? that dash attack doesn’t come with the fang ? My R2 is just an attack
That's the skill that comes on bloodhound fang. It's not bloodhound step.
I cant put flames of redmanes on my sword?
Weapons that take somber smithing stones can't be altered... they have a single built-in weapon art and that's it :/
@@TobyWanShinobiok thanks

Also where is that black knight at the end
Like on the map
North East caelid
There's like two bridges next to each other on the map
Why does my r2 not do the invisible step? It just attacks
Have to do l2 first. And then press r2 after the first attack.
What's the best class for it?
Dex / strength build (quality)... so whatever starting class has higher stats in those.
I can’t add the ash of war to the weapon idk why
somber weapons won't take Ash of War, they have a unique built in moveset that can't be changed.
My bloodhound fang is not showing in the equipmemts . I want to apply ash of wars to it 😭😭😭. I upgraded fang to +5 but no ash of war. Please help
