  • What would it look like if Radahn and Malenia met again? How good is the most devastating attack in the souls series when we can use it? Does the most powerful boss in the game make for a good build? These are the questions I set out to answer!
    This is my 25th video in a series of Elden Ring build guides, aimed at helping players explore new builds with step by step walkthroughs.

      Get FF from the depths (optional: help Hyetta for the seal). Help Millicent to get the needle. Burn the tree with FF and... use the needle in Placidusax arena. There, the tree is burned, the World is saved (needle blocks FF ending), the 3 fingers is forever bound within you (neutralized god threat), you get another ending of your choice. I am disappointed that there is no secret scene for that trickery.

    A base new game build could be fun for this. Like a lead up build that has the exact stats you need. I would recommend a keen Nagakiba with Bloodflame blade, black flame blade, or electrify armament depending on the boss and the openings you get. Double slash ash of war is the main one but can be switched to unsheathe for bosses with openings better suited for slow strong attacks like Maliketh. It’s amazing for building status and is very adaptable. It can be a quick or slow weapon. Can go between fire and lightning. Can easily take care of big bosses with black flame. And it’s very fun

      Glad you enjoyed it! So there’s quite a lot going on video wise, but I think the extra colour your talking about might just be setting the contrast on the games HDR to 7 or 8 rather than 5. Always had it set that way and got similar comments on the colour even when I was on PS5.
      On PC I run every setting on max, I have Reshade installed for a (VERY) slight boost to brightness and contrast, and use a mod that forces the game to load far away textures sooner than it should (meant to be for taking photos, but I don’t notice frame drops leaving it on).

    I know you said you haven’t really done PVP before, but with the level for most competitive PVP being between 125-150 and that’s where most of your runs end at, I just thought it would be pretty interesting to see you give it a try, making a fun PVE and potential PVP build

    Noticed near the end of the run arcane was being leveled up. Does that increase the scarlet aeonia damage?

    Diarmuid of the Love Spot, either Mythological version or the Fate/Zero version, Either way some sort of dual wield happens between both, Powerstanced Spears and Swords or Sword and Spear dual wield.

    I tried the build but I went with a wakizahi for the parry to be less harsh to the aesthetic

    I think story mods based on characters in the game is needed. like you play as that nobleman or that captain that has that blind daughter. the soldiers would be friendly to you and you can summon them.
