    Dual wield Rotten Battle Hammers with the blood affinity, use the wild swing ash of war and use Kindred of Rot’s Exultation, Lord of Blood’s Exultation, Shard of Alexander and/or Claw Talisman/Rotten Winged Sword Insignia. This was the first strength build I decided to make and it just slapped everything I came a across, please get them to cover this build 🙏🏽

      Infuse poison in the offhand instead of double blood, it procs the kindred of rot talisman faster and stacks with rot, wild strikes only uses your main hand, so overall you’ll consistently get higher damage cause poison procs so often

I want to find a weapon category that I can powerstance, and have 4 different buildups. So this would be two different weapons in the same class with buildups built into them, that you can also apply ash of war to. Do you know of any that you can do this with?

Or even use Frozen Needle in LH: NO magic damage, but still applies frost, useful against magic res enemies and at high level due to how split type damage resistances work.

    The ants are associated with the scarlot rot fungus because in real life many species of ants have a symbiotic relationship with fungus. They cultivate fungus in their colonies by feeding them leaves and stuff. They in turn eat the fungus. The stinger adaptation in elden ring is quite unique and unlike any ant I'm aware of but it's cool that the relationship exists.

    Ants and Fungi have a big connection in RL with one another (fyi there is a "zombie" Fungus out there, which is the basis for the zombie outbreaks in games like "The last of Us", that actually infects ants and controlls them, making them go to places that is good for the fungus to grow, for them to then just stand there and die and be nutrition for the fungus).
    So that's probably why Ants in Elden Ring have so much to do with the Scarlet Rot (which is Fungus themed).

    If you're a caster going for the Rotten Crystal Staff there's a lone crystal sorc that drops it which is much, much easier than dealing with the crystal mob. Take the same path as the Rotten Staff in the video, but head left after the last jump. If you've made it all the way down to the bottom grace then you can also start from there and take the elevator up (the one past the giant flower). Make sure you have that silver scarab that boosts discovery as the drop rate is on the low side (took me a couple hours to get it). And trigger sending the elevator back down, since you'll be making this run several times. :/

And you can raise your stats with some headgear and talismans. I didn't have 20 int at the moment, so i equipped Marika's Soreseal and Twinsage Glinstone Crown, which in combination give +11 int. Also, don't forget that Godrick's Great Rune raises all stats by 5. Also also, two-handing a weapon requires less str to use its skill, so 23 str should be enough. But you will still need to level up the weapon to at least some degree. Mine was +9.

      @@coldbacon4869 frozen needle heavy attack shoots the weapon, can't be parried and uses no FP. Frost causes 10% health loss along with 20% reduced damage negation and reduces stamina build up once it procs. There are better weapons for frost build up but I used it on my lvl 9 low invader. It's quite effective when also applying rot/bleed and rot/bleed talismans stack. It's personal preference for 3v1 invasions when you need to drop opponents damage negation because the host during low level invasions is normally protected by higher level co ops. Again the frozen needle is a utility. It was never meant to outperform bleed builds or combo builds at such a low level.

    Fun fact about the Crystalians at the Haligtree, in order to reach them you have to avoid some of those weird multi-armed amalgamation things to reach them. Easy to outrun them, but dont try fighting three in a row like i did for an hour before giving up on the extra runes for killing them.

    Antspur Rapier + Poison Mist + Bleed affinity + 3 status effects at once. I power stance this with White Mask or Mushroom Crown, Raptor's Black Feathers, Lord of Blood's and Kindred of Rot's Exultations, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, and Claw Talisman. Add in the physic tears for successive attack boost, stamina recovery, and Bloodboil Aromatic... nearly everything in the game just MELTS. Even enemies that are immune to status effects take some decent damage from this build.

They should of had special ability on it to shoot rot mist like rotten breath but maybe not as much or to shoot rotten crystals. Rot on the sorceries would been a lil much. But would think they'd of done something with it to do rot damage.

    Hot take, the thrusting daggers (parry dagger, misericorde, and the Scorpion stinger, then you can do stuff like rapier and parry dagger and more importantly you can wield antspur and scorpion stinger together.
    I will also die on the hill that the specific repeating thrust ash on the scorpion should add a scarlet rot buff and maybe some holy damage to sell it as a major sacred artifact of rot. It's not even like it's not a president in game, look at spinning slash on dragon scale halberd.... Just saying

    All the ant nests are underground in particular, the Deeproot Rot area. Less we forget, the underground lake of rot was formed by a god that was sealed there. The ants said these areas were good enough for them so they grew an affinity for rot based stuff and you know, you are what you eat!

    Something to mention for this video is Scarlet Rot has 3 damage tiers small rot damage which is on the rotten crystal sword and is roughly on par with poison dmg (which rot stacks with btw) then you have standard Rot what most of the weapons have and what Enzykes the dragon uses it does the normal Rot damage everyone is used too. Finally you have Severe Scarlet rot which you get in the Lake of Rot and phase 2 Malenia boss fight which does massive ticks of dmg faster than the normal ticks don't think players can use the severe SR though.
