The Reduvia, amazing weapon. Kill them again on your 2nd playthrough so you have two and then you can use the dual wield dagger move set which is very powerful. The poise damage isn't great, but the dps potential is awesome. Especially if you make a bleed build with mid/late game talismans which give health on kill, health on successive hits and extra damage when there's blood loss in vicinity. Combine that with the white mask and maybe a bleed based weapon with seppuku for extra damage and then Blasphemous blade for the ash of war. Then use golden valor and flame grant me strength to buff, with similar buffs in your flask. Incredible build.
Im on mynthird playthrough and only just realized how much ive been sleeping on Reduvia. Its not my main, but i break it out when someones being a problem. Like helping my son fight Malenia, after she clapped us twice, i pulled this out and bled her down at a disgusting pace.
Putting a blood affinity on a non bleed weapon, at least sometimes gives more blood buildup. Twinblade for example. Twinblade also applies status faster due to faster hits.
Just get reduvia and duel wield daggers, u can level it using Sombre stones, both daggers bleed and use different materials to upgrade, it’s just carnage and easy mode
Note, if you want to go down the arcane spellcaster route, there’s a seal in the very first area of the game, before even the first step grace. Take the two stoneseal daggers as your keepsake from character creation, avoid the clockwork sentinel, go up instead of down when the path branches, and now you have the best seal in the game, the dragon communion seal.
If okay with geometrical exploitation - after getting Radagon's Soreseal, can just hop up and get the Regalia of Eochaid early (without leveling up even); and with some investment and a long trek to the Plataeu (plus some Yura stuff) can also cheese/snatch Eleanora's Poleblade ^_^ I was planning on powerstancing straight swords (Regalia + Lordsworn's SS w/Bloody Slash) See how that goes. Am hoping well..
@pastorgainzgames Can confirm this comment, I was able to get a +10 eleanoras poleblade before fighting margit! The only bosses you have to fight are Godskin noble (Easy with sleep pots) and rennala (easy with a +9 eleanoras poleblade)
@pastorgainzgames incorrect. In this video, you got blood affinity from the bloody slash ash of war. To put blood affinity on weapons with non blood ashes of war you need the whetstone from nokron.
Great video as always! Just a quick question, Could you not start as a samurai who has a katana and then grab the second one, in that cave so you can duel weird them? Or would it be better just to do what you do in this video?
Mein gott, i gut through Margit on the first try, dualwielding Naga and Uchi, with the medusa squirting stuff, without the mage... Thanks! I only screwed up with the dragon farming so i had to farm an hour two to get stats for naga, with only 20 points in HP. Very awesome tutorial! Super effective!
Honestly, I was expecting this to be a Reduvia build since you already have the stats to wield it when you start as a Bandit. Not only that, You can actually upgrade somber weapons to +9 very early (somber 7 can be obtained by doing the very difficult Volcano Manor bridge jump or doing the wrong warp in Farum Azula).
You have to remember though not everyone has the skill do to that jump nor did I want to take people all the way up there since the Level gap just gets crazy. I also didn't want to do a reduvia build because I didn't wanna use daggers for this playthrough :)
Been playing elden since the 1st day it launched and so are my kids, each have bifferent builds so 5 in total and there's sooooo many options when it comes to builds it's insane... but I will say this... Specialist builds that relies on one damage output is a setup to fail! And bleed is a classic example. You get your katana (oh how everyone loves the katana) and then you get to a boss that won't bleed and your in the s*** Something made of stone or crystal let's say... Or you go fire, and it's a dragon that won't burn. Or you go glint stone magic, and it's emune to magic. Guess I'm trying to say don't put all your eggs in one basket! Once you get the farming spot (everyone knows the one with the bird) you can just sit for an hour every now and then and have all the runes you will EVER need... Get every stat to say, between 35-50 and have any build you want, just collect any spell, weapon, talisman, armour... And switch when the mood takes, yes it takes a few hours. But the game Is massive and the death rate is nuts, so it's worth it and sooooo much fun. Find the first 2 somber bell bearings (easy enough if you have the big mace) and your onto a good start for upgrading most weapons until mid game. Want a dragon faith build, or a tank. Ninja blood build, ranged spellcaster, and everything between, you just have to find the kit, which you will get if you just look up the locations on RUclips so many awesome vids on builds these days. Just run past all the mobs for the most part. 5 characters all with different builds and after only 3-4 hours play each with the whole game ahead to enjoy.....i say enjoy. I HATE THIS FREAKIN GAME!!! 🤬🤬🤬
Ash of War Scarab, Carian Filigreed Crest, and Sacrificial Axe in offhand to make it spammable. The scarab won't be available until after Margit, but is easy to get if you open the gates and zig zag the ballistas.
@@dbasonic485 No! Mind as in FP! Get yo bloodhound step outta here! I'm all about that FP efficiency! Carian Filigreed Crest, Ash of War Scarab, and FP regen from stuff like Cerulean Dagger, Sword of Milos, and Ancestral Horn Talisman.
Maybe give a location reference guide in the description, or show the location of the areas clearly under each section. Hate having to look up maps bc you failed to give the location in a guide. Not much of a guide is it
i like how u say at fort height "u may have to kill a few minor enemies" the dam rats follow me up the stairs and hit me from behind when im trying to kill the bomb throwers lol totally not fun :(
"God tier arcane build" is mediocre at best. So many other weapons to use besides uchi. Also radagon soreseal is a bust for any build because you become reliant on it
Or you use the soreseal until you’re stats are where you want them to be. Then you take it off and don’t even know it’s gone. The uchi also shreds with the right build. Probably should’ve gone reduvia though
If you're going to Caelid early for Greyoll might as well grab the Flamberge pre-Radahn Festival, it's got better bleed than an Uchi or Nagakiba (both 45 vs 55 on the Flamberge) plus greatsword moveset/poise damage. I don't like to lean on the Soreseal either, I'd take 3 points out of arcane into dex for weapon requirement (15s 14d) then just kill bosses or hit all the rune graveyards in Limgrave to replace the 3 points in arcane later
Hey if you are looking for a cool arcane/faith early build check out this one ruclips.net/video/H8ndNDYLlK8/видео.htmlsi=v2ms1SuWQNdF0Ot6 It's fucking sick and I'm doing a playthrough with it now.

Arcane scales with occult affinity with less passive blood build up but generates more attack power therefore you only put points into arcane if using occult affinity so this video is invalid 🤫
That’s false. You absolutely can still continuously kill Greyoll as many times as you want. You just HAVE to be on torrent when you make the final strike to sprint back fast enough. If you’re not on Torrent, then you can’t make it back in time.
I'm literally doing it right now since I just started a new character. I highly suggest hitting his tail while mounted so that you have enough time to run back to the site of grace.
Man this was pretty frustrating to follow. This is an op early guide and you just call out locations to people with no maps unlocked yet. Get ashes of war without telling people where. And jump cut your pathing. You make a myriad of assumptions About the viewers knowledge for a new character guide.
We new players don’t have the map unlock …. In order to foloow ur directions I have to look at other vids for the locations u mentioned .. but ur vid is still helpful tho don’t get me wrong I use ur vids for majority of my builds but I’m just new and the locations are hard to find
Nice cut cut cut cut cut when in the fort faroth not actually showing that there’s a whole platform you have to jump to while getting chased by a ghost knight so indirect why can’t Elden ring videos actually be more helpful lmao Just past that point in the video he then jump cuts to limgrave tunnels without even showing where they are on the map😂😂😂
All these negative ass comments, as if you didn’t choose to click on the video and watch the entire thing, just to scroll down and try to look like you know more about the game. Go outside more 😂

Yeah there are a few, check my build with Okina on the thumbnail
Great vid. This helped a lot.
But except the blood ugikatana u should have put blood nagakiba since it does wayyyy more bleed
Yes and you can actually get it extra soon in the game, but this is a solid option for someone that do not want to ruin yura's questline
Agreed but I try not to ruin quest lines with these guides 😎
Exactly
How do you get the blood affinity so early? (In school and skipping through the chapters so I may have missed it)
I believe u just need the whetstone knife that I show u☺️

I would HARDLY call this anywhere near OP or early. This is like 45-60 minutes of prep for a super weak arsed build.

When pitting ash of war on the sowrd what affinity shall i use blood or normal
Blood or Occult are great options. If you want more bleed build up quicker do occult so it scaled with arcane
How would you continue this? Thanks
Probably mold the build into an Occult Uchi or rivers of blood in altus :)
