I remember playing Asphalt 2 and 3 back in the day where it was 2D and java apps were around, shit was cool and stylish as fuck, Outrun-style graphics with a shitton of action.
@@itscznben8728 Probably not a glitch, given how wide the animation is. They probably meant it as a coverage spell, instead of a focus down spell like Crystal Torrent. But nevertheless, I'd like it to get the Crystal Torrent treatment. It's WAY too garbage as it is. At least make it flinch human sized enemies almost perpetually or something. That stamina cost makes no sense without a benefit.
@@hitlordjust watching the footage of Rusty using it hurt my soul. The range doesn’t seem wide or far enough to cover much of anything, but I also haven’t tried the spell myself
Knights lightning strike is insanely good, and Messmer’s Fire spells are also not bad. But with every other spell it feels like they tried to make them look as flashy as possible (ex. Bayle’s spells and the rot butterflies) but then forgot to make them do any damage 😅
Messmer's Orb and Fire Serpent are so good man. That Founding Rain of Stars reskin is possibly the worst spell in the DLC though. Maybe it being so trash will get to From and they'll finally buff the Founding Rain + that spell
With the proper Build and the dragonheart (and while in DLC) the Bayle Incantations hit for 5k+. Might not be the best use for your FP but big number make brain happy.
bayles actually does ridiculous damage since it can be buffed by stacking dragon communion and has the HIGHEST damage on a single hit and RIDICULOUS poise damage. Its numbers easily goes 8k+ if you run the proper builds.
man the disappointment I felt the first time using minor Erdtree... basically a castable warming stone for 30 fp, 2 spell slots and 70 faith. if it would at least be looking as cool as the one Melina uses in the Morgott fight I wouldn't complain :(
It was the same size. But fps concerns dropped it. Which is bullsht because a year ago someone modded that spell into the game and it was still 50 fps+ when active .

The self madness proc on Midra serves exactly one purpose: Procs the new Aged One's Exultation faster than literally any other spell. And also that bit about baking dragons from the inside.
I seem to remember people saying the exact same things about difficulty in every other fromsoft DLC too. The scadurtree blessings are probably the only thing saving us from getting turned into raw meat dumplings by every other boss.
Damage dealt to the player is worse here, that much I'll say. And yes, that is with all the fragments. That and the AoE spam. It's all flashy with no substance now.
@@asdergold1there’s only a few aoe moves that u can’t dodge (u just gotta run). Which is a fair criticism, but most of the aoes are very easy to dodge.
@@suru2915 It's not a fair criticism that bosses requiring other methods of avoiding attacks than dodging is bad lol. They should've included more attacks that required jumping and running, base game included. Being able to handle everything with a well-timed roll gets boring.
The main gripe I have (and this extends to the basegame) is that so many bosses have functionally limitless stamina so they just never stop attacking and jumping around. It's obviously still doable but it's so fucking obnoxious IMO. First Souls game where I've felt like Fromsoft really started to lean too hard into the realm of bullshit.
It's not like I'm the only one who imagined the small erdtree spell would resemble the one that appears after Melina passes away, rather than a "tree" the size of a grinches heart.
That will only happen if From Software decides to add stuff to the DLC in patches. Unfortunately, the DLC was datamined to hell and back this time around. Fextra had entire guides on just about everything other than technical data (which requires editors) on the wiki the very first second the game launched.
That ash of war gravity pull, the one that doesn't do much damage and pull everything toward you, is quicker, wider and more fp efficiency if you want to clean mausoleum foot tbh.
I can’t be the only one who thought the minor erdtree spell would be like the one that pops up when Melina dies, not some “tree” the size of the grinches heart
Another tip for Heal From Afar is to just shoot it straight down to have a heal with a way faster cast time than the other ones. Useful if you wanna use a heal spell mid battle
The incantation itself is broken atm. You can literally let go crimson tear and switch it off into cerulean instead. You got way more benefit from this if you raise your mind around 35 and the cast itself are as quick as you drinking your flask ( if you put radagons icon that is )
It heals for the same amount as Lord's Heal, can be used at range, has a lower FP cost than Lord's Heal, and has faster casting speed than Lord's Heal. Basically a direct upgrade to Lord's Heal
I love how the rotton butterfly, well, butterflies will still drop if you get hit out of it. I genuinely love seeing people in PvP hitting me out of it and then getting hit by a barrage of deathly butterflies (they just took 200 damage and might have gotten scarlet rot)
I honestly feel that they could have shrunk the overall map size by about 70% and nothing meaningful would have been lost. There's several zones that are almost literally completely empty.
Out of everything I've done in the DLC so far, I've only come across two things that I considered blatantly unfair: 1. For some reason, the Ghostflame Dragon on the Cerulean Coast's Fire has like *nine times* the range of every other one I've fought. 2. Commander Gauis spawn-camping the fogwall. Got murdered within 10 seconds the first 3 times I stepped through. On the 4th, I got on Torrent, got away from the initial attack, and then proceeded to beat him on that first actual attempt. Nothing about the rest of that fight felt unfair at all. Like, literally, my only two complaints about difficulty is if they could fix the range on the fire attacks of that one dragon and maybe have Gaius spawn a bit further back.
For gaius, run back behind the corner to the left of the door you enter the boss room in. The wall will stop his rush and you can buff and summon mimic yadada. Godspeed friend
Most of it's pretty fair. 2nd phase of the final boss has obnoxious visual clutter. Not as unfun as Malenia but it's not as polished as most of the rest of the DLC bosses it feels.
@@Emerald_Raven08exactly. To add on to that, Malenia at least has clear punish windows and only has 1 bs move. The final boss is a bullet hell on phase 2 and his main bs move is hard to read.
A good bonus tip/trick with Knight's lightning spear is that the 4-6 surrounding spears will always target whoever you were locked onto when the spears began to appear, so you can swap lock on to another enemy to separate the main spear from the surrounding spears letting you hit 2 different targets with the spell, one with the main damage and another with the surrounding damage.
As always, the low and mid workhorses are the best. Knight’s LS, Fire Serpent, Multilayered RoL, Pest Spears (omg lol). These easily fit in alongside the old standards and I had a lot of fun with them.
I’m so glad to see you still posting, I got into Elden ring recently after knowing your hollow knight content and saw you pop up again and I was like “OH SHIT” lowkey made my day
I'm pretty sure the furious flames of ansbach are bugged, because I've heard alot of people, myself included, saying the can't seem to proc bleed with it
damage negation becomes more potent the more negation you have. if a boss 2 shots you at 0 negation, itll 4 shot at 50%, 8 shot at 75% and 16 shot at 87.5% as long as your blessing levels are good, damage negation spells like the protection spells and florisax's blessing are actually really significant increases to your durability
Yes and no. The way ER does scaling is that defense "basically" gives you about as much EHP (effective HP) independent of what you already have. Say you have 50% negation. This would double your EHP. So now your 1900 HP (because you leveled vigor like the good Tarnished you are) is worth 3800HP. If you now stack another source of 50% negation ontop the game will calculate the new defense values so it raises your EHP again by 1900. But what you see is that in the stats is that your defense went from50% negation to 66,6%. What I'm saying, with this system, thinking of defense as a % reduction value is not that great. Think of it as EHP. The thing that is mostly improved by stacking EHP (defense) is the healing you receive. With 0 defense your flask heals ... 500 HP lets say. Now if we go back to the 66,6% reduction you now suddenly heal 1500HP EHP per flask. Stacking lots and lots of negation will yes, increase how much you can tank, but even more importantly, how effective your regen is. With enough defense stacking even dinky heals that only trickle 8hp per second start to become powerhouses that heal 40-50-100EHP per second. There is a great video of GinoMachine (no hit FromSoft games runner) where he goes *all in* an tank and it is quite funny to see. The main reason why health increasing talismans (chief being Crimson Amber obv) will give you more in return even than the Drakeshield once you've stacked enough defense beforehand. What I'm trying to say, it doesn't matter what your defense is like, the spell always gives 190 EHP. You just have to figure out for yourself if that's worth the upkeep. (it usually isn't as most anything in the DLC worth a salt is hitting for 1000+ damage per hit, so adding another 190 EHP ontop of the ~5000 you're running around with with normal'ish armor and good blessing levels does very little)
@@JinFreeks you're thinking of systems like armor in dota 2 and league, whereas er's damage negation is a straightforward stacking multiplier. when you get +10% extra negation, that's really just adding an extra x0.9 step in the damage calculation, meaning you get x1.11 effective hp _based on your previous effective hp._ which means there's no actual distinction between 11% extra hp and 10% damage negation for every damage type, other than the fact that damage negation also affects effective hp from healing hell, this is why gino's defense run even worked. if all the armor and buffs he was using were only providing like +17% to +33% of his base hp as effective hp, he'd only end up taking around half as much damage as a usual run because stacking them all together wouldn't break far past +100% ehp, which is half damage. which is a far cry from the paper cut damage he was taking in the vid. like, he was regularly reaching 90% negation even before getting the end game stuff, which would be +900% ehp and if you'll notice, that would require stacking _nine_ different 50% damage negation sources under the system you're proposing
I made it to the final boss and have all 9 remembrances from the others.....that means the difficulty is balanced because I suck. It was so beautiful. Like Dark Souls in Elden Ring. Now this final boss I just need to learn some more of their moves.
Day 17 of asking Rusty to rank every enemy in Elden Ring. If you could rank all the weapons, the enemies should be no issue for you. The DLC is already out, so you might as well include enemies from there as well.
the new skibbidi tree fragments system is so fire, I loved fighting commander gayus and having igoon help with bail. And my healthbar being ragone for most fights was such a neat touch. I loved the swift step skill and it definitely doesn't make me spam stormcaller or grab attacks with poise. I love blindspot, better known as the corvian greatknife skill but better... and the corvian greatknife was A+ tier.
The problem with the difficulty is that all the new players weren't prepared. Kai brought a new crowd, the dlc brought a new crowd, I can see how the uninitiated might feel overwhelmed.
@@shishkabob984 well, its definitely a problem for THEM. Not that I care much, but seeing steam ratings being bombed made me genuinely sad. All good and hard work must be appreciated.
@@shishkabob984 yeah not for us. All I'm saying is if your first souls game was Elden Ring and it's DLC and you are just a casual gamer, you are in for a rough time.
I see you're a fan of Thiollier Garb, too. I personally pair it with the black knife hood and the gauntlets/grieves of solitude. It gives it an interesting look~
I feel a need to confess this somewhere so here goes: I beat the final boss by using heal from afar on taylew the golem smith and cowering in fear a mile away from every attack. It wasn’t as easy as it may sound (it still took over 10 attempts and many attacks are still hard to dodge) but I still felt like I had somehow broken the game a little.
I never used it because I renounced using Spirit Ashes as a whole, but as soon as I saw those stone golems being summonable (and the description specifically mentioning the ranged fist attacks), I knew it'd be way too good. Especially with a healing spell.
Sick video! I appreciate the walkthroughs, Please add an on screen note for which incantation kos is. You referred to it several times and I’m just lost af.
I was surprised at all of the counter active measures they give you to fight the difficulty. I'm with you too man, when I first played elden ring when it released I definitely felt the same struggle. Great game again from software.
Midra's strongest application seems to be proccing madness for Aged One's Exultation or any other gear that provides a DMG bonus on Madness since it has the fastest madness build up of any frenzy spell.
I cannot believe they made better pest threads. Also after watching your armor design ranking, it's telling that I knew as soon as I got the Dancer Set you'd love it.
The new flame of frenzy spell is actually really good for triggering the new frenzy seal, combine that with the frenzy yell and a weapon buff of your choice you have a really fun glass cannon.
Fun thing about the big furnace guy at about 12:50. You can just jump in through the back of the wall. I didnt even know about the trick until I saw it on youtube
heal from afar has great sinergy with the mimic tear it will use it like a attack spell meaning as long as you stay near the boss or enemy it will heal you very regularly. used it against the final boss and mimic used it like five times in a row ones fullhealing me and even healing itself by around half its hp. the aoe effect also lingers a bit meaning if you can see it you can often just run into it and get the healing.
Been waiting for a video like this. Just love to hear other peoples opinions on the new stuff. Some of these are really good, I actually main Light of Miquella now. Just such a fun incant to pull off in a duel and it works a surprising amount of time. My top 3 so far for PvP is Knight's Lightning Spear, Flame Serpent, Light of Miquella. Messmer's Orb would be good if it had hyper armour for the start up and actual landing of the hit, did you know if you land on the ground and get hit the attack just does nothing? Like it fizzles out just because you stubbed your toe on impact. Clearly lots of things need to be buffed, nerfed and straigth up adjusted in the DLC but I think the overall spread of things we got is good. Just hope they can get around to fixing the most busted things quick, PvP is like looking into a mirror because everyone even myself are using to busted shit.
the best part about knight’s lightning spear is that it counts as a dragon cult incantation so is buffed by the gravel stone seal AND the new death knight armor
if you equip blue dew talisman, the hold version of divine bird feathers will stop consuming FP if you hold it. I actually didn't try it without it on so it might be a bug, who knows.

Out of everything I've done in the DLC so far, I've only come across two things that I considered blatantly unfair:
1. For some reason, the Ghostflame Dragon on the Cerulean Coast's Fire has like *nine times* the range of every other one I've fought.
2. Commander Gauis spawn-camping the fogwall. Got murdered within 10 seconds the first 3 times I stepped through. On the 4th, I got on Torrent, got away from the initial attack, and then proceeded to beat him on that first actual attempt. Nothing about the rest of that fight felt unfair at all.
Like, literally, my only two complaints about difficulty is if they could fix the range on the fire attacks of that one dragon and maybe have Gaius spawn a bit further back.
Theres another boss even worse than Gauis and does it in both their phases. Enjoy!

Can't wait for more ranking videos(especially the new weapons)
Day 17 of asking Rusty to rank every enemy in Elden Ring. If you could rank all the weapons, the enemies should be no issue for you. The DLC is already out, so you might as well include enemies from there as well.
the new skibbidi tree fragments system is so fire, I loved fighting commander gayus and having igoon help with bail. And my healthbar being ragone for most fights was such a neat touch. I loved the swift step skill and it definitely doesn't make me spam stormcaller or grab attacks with poise.
I love blindspot, better known as the corvian greatknife skill but better... and the corvian greatknife was A+ tier.
Can’t wait for an updated fashion video (I have beaten the final boss of dlc twice and know I found a way to miss some bangers)
First video of yours I’ve seen. It’s sick 🔥 I’m doing a frenzy flame caster for the DLC. Wish me luck.
WE CAN FINALLY CONTINUE ASKING FOR MORE ALL WEAPONS TIER LIST
11:10 FYI you can get this incantation earlier. If you side with Leda instead of Ansbach in the invasion you get it after you kill him
Can't ever get myself to kill my boy Ansbach.
No you fkn don't. Completing his questline is mandatory to get the spell. I would know, because that's exactly how I missed it.
Honestly you’ve become my favorite Elden Ring information source.
I've been waiting for Rusty to make another appearance on my feed!
This is nice, but when will you rate all of the characters feet?
The problem with the difficulty is that all the new players weren't prepared. Kai brought a new crowd, the dlc brought a new crowd, I can see how the uninitiated might feel overwhelmed.
That's not a problem
@@shishkabob984 well, its definitely a problem for THEM. Not that I care much, but seeing steam ratings being bombed made me genuinely sad. All good and hard work must be appreciated.
@@shishkabob984 yeah not for us. All I'm saying is if your first souls game was Elden Ring and it's DLC and you are just a casual gamer, you are in for a rough time.
Yeaaaaaahh im waiting for this ❤❤❤😂
THE KING IS BACK
It's crusty!!
He’s back!
Rusty: ok, Bayles flaming lighting. Ok.fromsoft, which is it!?!
Miyazaki: yes
You know a good time is to be had when Rusty uploads
Class game ty Rusty
Finally rusty posted for the dlc let’s go
I see you're a fan of Thiollier Garb, too. I personally pair it with the black knife hood and the gauntlets/grieves of solitude. It gives it an interesting look~
Cant wait to see the sorcery list!
I knew you'd use that armor set in your videos, since I saw it in the trailers all that time ago I JUST KNEW IT
Oh yeah, Rusty's back baby
I feel a need to confess this somewhere so here goes: I beat the final boss by using heal from afar on taylew the golem smith and cowering in fear a mile away from every attack. It wasn’t as easy as it may sound (it still took over 10 attempts and many attacks are still hard to dodge) but I still felt like I had somehow broken the game a little.
I never used it because I renounced using Spirit Ashes as a whole, but as soon as I saw those stone golems being summonable (and the description specifically mentioning the ranged fist attacks), I knew it'd be way too good. Especially with a healing spell.
I've waited for this!
Sick video! I appreciate the walkthroughs, Please add an on screen note for which incantation kos is. You referred to it several times and I’m just lost af.
I was surprised at all of the counter active measures they give you to fight the difficulty. I'm with you too man, when I first played elden ring when it released I definitely felt the same struggle. Great game again from software.
You were very kind to the butterfly spell.
Midra's strongest application seems to be proccing madness for Aged One's Exultation or any other gear that provides a DMG bonus on Madness since it has the fastest madness build up of any frenzy spell.
Thanks for the video. Please do consider doing the Sorcery DLC as well...
That chuckle at the beginning of the bloom spell cracked me up
Rusty has the honesty that no other RUclipsr has
I cannot believe they made better pest threads.
Also after watching your armor design ranking, it's telling that I knew as soon as I got the Dancer Set you'd love it.
I love you rusty!
boy i sure love having played as a firemonk build in preparation for the DLC
The new flame of frenzy spell is actually really good for triggering the new frenzy seal, combine that with the frenzy yell and a weapon buff of your choice you have a really fun glass cannon.
Kls my beloved. Bayles flame lightning can combo with other incants like Maw and claw. So thats really good.
Midra’s Frenzied Flame sucking makes me sad, because it was something I was super excited for using (frenzy builds are some of my favorites)
Perfected the outro this time.
Great video. Now rank all the DLC armor sets by looks.
Oh boy, I've been waiting to hear from you. Curious to hear your opinions on the DLC.
Excited to learn about some new incantations that are hidden behind two NPC questlines, a remembrance boss, and a secret legacy dungeon.
Bout damn time you posted, crusty.
Fun thing about the big furnace guy at about 12:50. You can just jump in through the back of the wall. I didnt even know about the trick until I saw it on youtube
This is funny as hell.😂
I need the sliders to some of your characters. They’re all great.
"Intangible Charlie brown christmas tree" has to be my new favorite thing rusty. has ever said
heal from afar has great sinergy with the mimic tear it will use it like a attack spell meaning as long as you stay near the boss or enemy it will heal you very regularly. used it against the final boss and mimic used it like five times in a row ones fullhealing me and even healing itself by around half its hp. the aoe effect also lingers a bit meaning if you can see it you can often just run into it and get the healing.
23:17 was not expecting that comparison, ya damn near made me choke on my food... XD
Been waiting for a video like this. Just love to hear other peoples opinions on the new stuff. Some of these are really good, I actually main Light of Miquella now. Just such a fun incant to pull off in a duel and it works a surprising amount of time.
My top 3 so far for PvP is Knight's Lightning Spear, Flame Serpent, Light of Miquella.
Messmer's Orb would be good if it had hyper armour for the start up and actual landing of the hit, did you know if you land on the ground and get hit the attack just does nothing? Like it fizzles out just because you stubbed your toe on impact.
Clearly lots of things need to be buffed, nerfed and straigth up adjusted in the DLC but I think the overall spread of things we got is good. Just hope they can get around to fixing the most busted things quick, PvP is like looking into a mirror because everyone even myself are using to busted shit.
Just here for my first delicious post-SOTE Rusty list thanks
the best part about knight’s lightning spear is that it counts as a dragon cult incantation so is buffed by the gravel stone seal AND the new death knight armor
I’ve come to look forward to these rusty ranked videos 😂😂😂
if you equip blue dew talisman, the hold version of divine bird feathers will stop consuming FP if you hold it. I actually didn't try it without it on so it might be a bug, who knows.
Yeah I was hoping for either frenzy lighting or straight up frenzy dragonbreath
The frenzy spell is probably a lot better if you intentionally proc madness on yourself with the madness talisman to buff your damage
Nice video man, also
Have you got the ending or the cutscene where Miquella is standing with his hand and it looks like he's healing the erdtree????
Knights lightning strike is super good against the metyr the mother of finger since if you land about 3 charge strike you can stagger her:)
When we getting another weapon list I'm excited to hear your opinion on certain weapons
2:12 bruh, we had the same Idea for Rellanas armour. The moment I saw it I went to get this head gear
I want what your character looks like!!!
Make a video showing your creation!
