Dont know yet. Usually go all solo, but might go coop with friends. Usually going full str but might try Dex and or Arcane. But the new light greatsword looks amazing.
Man... I kinda feel sorry for those who couldn't get into Elden Ring. I don't think I've been this excited for anything since the base game and before that it's been probably a decade for the previous big thing for me.
@@Thiccron Whatever sails their boat. However it can piss me off when people believe gaming is an immature thing (I'm 29 BTW). Especially when I learn that they watch absolute brain rot tiktoks and TV shows in their free time. I'm also an avid mountain biker so it's not like I just sit in front of a screen all day.
@@justinbergmans36I really care for both :-). When I saw the GTA 6 trailer I was so incredibly excited. Probably more than with every game before. Usually I'm a big RPG gamer. I was for example very excited for Diablo 3 many years ago because I absolutely loved Diablo 1 & 2. I was also a bit excited for D4 but not as much as for D3. D3 was good but not as good as I thought in my anticipation. Thats why the excitement for D4 was less. Two of my all time favorite games are GTA Vice City & GTA 5 (besides Monkey Island 1-3, the Day of the Tentacle and countless RPGs including Elden Ring). Because GTA 5 was so amazing, even though my expectations were very high, they were surpassed and thats why the GTA 6 trailer sent shivers down my spine. Elden Ring was amazing too and I loved it from beginning to end. But the expansion is still only an exansion (that I will play a lot). If the expansion is good and they release an amazing trailer for Elden Ring 2 I will probably be as hyped as I am for GTA 6 now. When publishers have great trailers and the game is even better (time and time again) then I will get very hyped. For GTA 5 I also was not that hyped. GTA 4 was great but not among my greatest of all time. The better the previous entry of a series is the bigger the anticipation for the next one gets. Expansions only count as half ;-). I'm hyped but not as much as for GTA 6 (I hate that I only play on pc).
Light Greatsword, hand to hand, and beast claws look awesome, I look forward to hybrid builds using these three maybe throw some magic on top or even the perfumer weapon.
Love your videos and just joined your knights group on Elden ring! Question- what level should I be if I’m running DLC in NG+1? I don’t want to start a new game but I also don’t want the DLC to be impossible…thanks for such great content always!! ❤
Damn thank you so much for becoming a member, joining the KNIGHTS group AND now a super thanks too!! Truly appreciated, absolute legend ❤ Good question.. It's gonna be TOUGH hahaha, I'd say 200-250 depending on the confidence in your abilities, honestly at level 250 you can max out your Vigor AND still have a super powerful build, so anything more than that is just a bonus!
I 100% cant wait to see all the throwing weapons the axe looks so cool and vaati talking about the throwing hammer where you spin it around before you fling it with which sounds so funs and i hope the spin also has a hitbox
Arcane dual long swords with bow. Looking forward to new bewitching branch style spells (if they exist) and that light greatsword has me super excited.
Man. I really did not expect the backhand blades to be... strength weapons? Fully thought they would be dex! From what's been listed so far, though, I think I'm most excited to try Great Katanas and Beast Claws. Frost backhand blades are on the table now, too, and I'm always hoping for some neat new axes. Most of all, however, I want to see more frost lightning stuff. Either weapons, or better yet, some form of weapon buff incant/sorcery.
I have been desperately waiting for this type of video. Now I am desperately waiting for pt 2 so I can prep for the light great swords. They look insane.
Seems like a good critique. Although just watching, it seems like Martial Arts are going to be tuned more like a Twinblade, with slightly less range. It apeard to have a similar focus on multihits and animation locks, with lower motion values. I'm definitely running straight for that one.
I'm going in with my BFT build. It uses, currently, the nightriders glaive. I'm really interested in adding either the throwing hammer or axe to that build for shiggles.
I'm in New game plus,ready to try the dlc There's lots of weapons I would like to try My build godskin peeler+25,with bleed,and seppuku, two handed it Great stars with frost at +25,with wild strikes Horn bow at +25with rain of arrows
I think the Scavengers curved sword scales better damage up to 150. After that the bandits scales better than the scavengers. Esspecially with a blood build.
Thanks for the advice, I have try to stay away from previews to any spoilers. Do you know if the DLC weapons can be use in the regular game? And vice versa? Thanks
That's a bit of a silly recommendation if that's what he said, coz you need to do both all of Alexander's & Millicent's quests to get the full benefits of their items. You can kill them both earlier but then you only get half of their talisman's full power.
Only souls game I ever played is Woo long fallen dynasty . Which I beat . I pretty sure I can beat this one as well . but first im going to beat Lies of p. Then elden ring and maybe one day il beat hardest one aording to internet Sekiro
Nah. NG+ will make it more difficult but your higher level will let you jump into fun builds faster and let you respec without as much hassle. I’m going in on like NG+4 or 5
Hopefully the DLC isn't so ridiculously hard that everyone is relegated to using bloodhounds fang or blasphemous blade just to beat the bosses 😔 I would say the game is perfect up to fire giant then after that they're basically no viable builds for malenia and a couple of the other end game bosses. One thing I always notice in every from soft game is the fact that once you get to the end game you just can't use your fast weapons like katanas anymore. I love playing dex but every single game I always have to level one weapon that does insane stagger because most of the other weapons just aren't viable in the endgame and the enemies hit so hard and fast if you don't stagger them you don't stand a chance with like a katana or dagger. It's kind of annoying that every game ends with just finding the hardest hitting weapon that staggers enemies so they don't have time to wipe you out.
@@Ironfist_Alexander45 what I was scared of is, imagine going to farum azula or killing maliketh and the npc in mohg’s arena doesn’t spawn because of it. But it most likely won’t do that, I’m just too cautious lol
After seeing some of the new weapons, i now can't decide. Is it also bad i have played the entirety of elden multiple times without ever using a great rune? Mainlyni forget they exist
Woukd be really awesome if i could go an hour or two without some random youtuber attempting to tell mw everything they know about a game they were allowed to play pre release. Its annoying, and you all are ruining peoples experiences.
I'm interested to see if fth/int gets more love. Spells, incantations, seals, and staffs. Also I hope we get some love for the madness builds out there.
to avoid spoilers, there’s a new ‘moon-related’ boss that also has ties to flame (referencing the Sword of Night and Flame). They dual-wield a flame sword and a magic sword, so I assume that weapon of that boss will also be Fai/Int
PLEASE DOM-SAMA! I have but one question! What was the scaling stat for the kung-fu weapons and perfume bottle?! Please tell me! It's all I want to know!
It's probably dex for hand ti hand weapon, the aromatics, in the base game don't have a specific one, but looking at the trailer, It seems like they male different type of damages, so you'll Need to decide from that.
I legitimately can't wait to finally use martial arts in a souls game I always use cestus to try to come a little close but seeing what they've released now I'm so excited
Am I the only one who put 50 into Endurance? LOL. I mean, I can keep swinging and swinging, and rolling and rolling. I'd rather have that than be able to one shot everything....
Don't know you see this or not Doms but ty so much for your tutorial/guide/walkthrough and known as top u miss series it helped me alot in my first playing soul-like game is elden ring and i just finished it after 120h with you helping me through all of that and your double great star jump attack its so fun and powerful that i cant thank u enough. Ty Doms
"Great katanas are most similar to curved greatswords." Well, not big surprise, that was pretty much my assumption from the start. Really looking forward to this one because the greatsword is almost always my weapon of choice and curved greatswords would be my second favorite. I could never get used to the lighter swords since I prefer doing more damage per hit, so even though I like the katana class I can't justify using them when curved greatswords exist.
I’m excited and nervous for the DLC also guys yall don’t understand I live out in the country and have been paying $120 for 40mbps speed internet it takes me forever to download anything and now after 4 years of waiting I’ve got Spectrum with 1000mbps for cheaper and I can finally game like I want.
Very excited for the DLC, been playing the base game again. I never started a new game plus though because I was missing alot of items that at the time I told myself I'd use a guide and find hidden wepons, tears, tailsmen, etc...... Never got around to it, I ended up just farming turtle people at that classic grind spot in east underworld area. 😂
Enjoy their damage while you can. Salty pvpers are gonna have theses nerfed to oblivion when they inevitably complain about how unfair they are to get Merked by when they invade🤷🏿♂️

Which build will you be using for the DLC!? 👇
Dual Serpent Hunters max strength
Dont know yet. Usually go all solo, but might go coop with friends. Usually going full str but might try Dex and or Arcane. But the new light greatsword looks amazing.
Dex build all day long
Dex to the max!
I want to make an Assassin that focuses on the Throwing Daggers and Perfume Bottles.

I've been cumming continuously since the announcement. It's nearly ruined my life but I'm cool with it.
It’s cool if people don’t care about Elden ring. I’m sure many will say the same about GTA6. I don’t care about those games. Each to their own

I wanna see if we can power stance/ dual wield beast claws and hand to hand, maybe a more “feral” martial art style
Yeah honestly I’m surprised he didn’t mention the light greatswords in this video. That’s what I’m most excited for
Really looking forward to seeing the Powerstance movesets for all the new weapons. Like the Light Greatsword.
I’m super excited for the light greatsword, I can already imagine the cool moments and builds that’ll come from it.
Ill take my spoilers from Dom. No one else
That's far too kind of you 😂 I'm so excited to journey through the Lands of Shadow together!!

Wow, a personal reply from you just made my day! Thanks as always for your awesome videos!!
My level is around 415 …
going in blazing hot
I’m 374

I have been desperately waiting for this type of video. Now I am desperately waiting for pt 2 so I can prep for the light great swords. They look insane.
My first and main build was a quality fist/claw build. So those beast claws and martial arts are looking pretty damn enticing lol

Are you able to buff martial arts with elements like cragblade or bloodflame blade?
cant wait for dlc new weapon, martial arts with incantations sounds guddd
I'm in New game plus,ready to try the dlc
There's lots of weapons I would like to try
My build godskin peeler+25,with bleed,and seppuku, two handed it
Great stars with frost at +25,with wild strikes
Horn bow at +25with rain of arrows
Another way to think about great katanas is they appear similar to Odachi from Nioh.
God I can't wait for hand to hand. It's all I've wanted in souls games. Beating my enemies with my fists just sounds amazing.
Is a Faith hand to hand build also viable or does it need to be int?
Lol I use the Nagakiba and rivers of blood , and the bloodhounds fang as backup. And Mowgs Spear spamming the weapon skill
I'm really looking forward to the Beast Claws. I'll be looking forward to what the best build is for it, Dom!
Mohg is absolutely caving my head in tears before the dlc lol
Get the silver tear.
It's just like the star on Mario
You should get Mohg's shackle and the one physick that gives you protection from the curse....
Purifying Crystal Tear is the name. It'll at least save you from the curse.
@@OhhhhhhhBugger put that with the other one that cancels every effect and you can tank that asshole.
@@OhhhhhhhBugger I got the tear ,so its a trip to the shunning grounds this eve ,thanks for the tips
I’ve always loved curved great swords, so I’m loving the great katana. The light greatsword seems a bit disappointing, like a thrusting sword I guess.
The new light greatsword has my attention.
This game feels eternal, this is the skyrim of souls games
i’m trying to decide what build i’m gonna go into the dlc with since i’m already lvl 713
I’m gonna make a build with the light great sword “Milady” with int or faith A hybrid.
Suggests 20 endurance
Meanwhile i have 60 for fashion and multiple weapons
I'm planning on hitting the dlc with a lvl170 build with 50vig, 18Str, 18Dex, 33Fth and 60Arc
I'm going like this for the loot drop items and hopefully being able to test out 90% of the new weapons
I think the Scavengers curved sword scales better damage up to 150. After that the bandits scales better than the scavengers. Esspecially with a blood build.
I know bow builds aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I'm wondering if the throwing weapons will make them irrelevant.
Light greatsword with martial arts switch are already my favorite
I’m not even gonna hold you
I love this game way more than I should
Could the great katana be considered a katana for strength builds?
Does anyone know if theres a breakdown of what the stat requirements will be for new. Weapon types like dex strength etc
For those Frenzied Flame lovers, there's a new incantation for it.
I want the hands, the great katana and light Greatsword
Only issue is do we actually know how far into the game we get these?
0:33 what set is that ?
The Malaketh set
Thanks for the advice, I have try to stay away from previews to any spoilers. Do you know if the DLC weapons can be use in the regular game? And vice versa?
Thanks
you could use dlc weapons in the base game in other fromsoft games so I assume it’ll be the same for Elden ring as well
Beast claws look like they just have lots of over animated lunges
Hello my friend :) Would you reckon I'd be ok with Magma Blades to begin the new expansion ? Thank you :)
What was that weapon you used at 10:38 ?
Can you put seppuku on the backhanded curved swords? Will it buff both swords?
Yes
Don't you get diminishing returns after like lvl 40 in most stats though? That's how it's always been in other From games.....
I wonder if the martial arts weapon types will still upgrade with smithing stones or strength or something?
How am I supposed to get the Alexander shard if your other video recommended not going past leyndell or forge of the giant?
That's a bit of a silly recommendation if that's what he said, coz you need to do both all of Alexander's & Millicent's quests to get the full benefits of their items. You can kill them both earlier but then you only get half of their talisman's full power.
I’m super excited for the martial arts get out and thanks so much for sharing the knowledge 🥹😁❤️
I don't know if you've said this already but do you remember what the perfumer bottles scaled off of by default?
He’ll probably talk about the rest of the weapon types (including Perfumes) in the next video. Hence the “part 1”
We need a merchant who sells infinite rune arcs
Only souls game I ever played is Woo long fallen dynasty . Which I beat . I pretty sure I can beat this one as well . but first im going to beat Lies of p. Then elden ring and maybe one day il beat hardest one aording to internet Sekiro
My main character is currently in NG+2 at level 225, should I take a different one into the dlc for my first play through?
Nah. NG+ will make it more difficult but your higher level will let you jump into fun builds faster and let you respec without as much hassle. I’m going in on like NG+4 or 5
Not really. Just play how you want and lvl 225 at NG+2 already good enough
Less than 2 weeks
Helll YES
Do you know what the perfume bottles scale off of ?
15 rune arcs??? it blows my mind how people can rack up so many hours and these games and not invade constantly lol
Sadness - no Mrs. Binky Bonk build 🤨

What icon represents the martial arrs "weapon"?
Anything reverse grip is mediocre. Idk why people think using your wepon badly and leaving open gaps in defense is cool looking.
Dom, do you know if the original world becomes locked once you enter the DLC world?
I don’t it will because people who got to play the dlc early were able to return to the lands between to use the boss remembrance they got
I am a 30-40 END player 😂
My Godfrey axe build has 45
Don’t even need to watch this I already know I’m using hand to hand.
do you think it's safe to go to farum azula with my dlc character or could it lock me out of the dlc somehow ?
Miyazaki said the dlc will not affect the main game in any way

What about light greatsword?😢 that's my choice. That wing stance footage spoke to me lol
I'm interested to see if fth/int gets more love. Spells, incantations, seals, and staffs. Also I hope we get some love for the madness builds out there.
One of the new screenshots for the dlc show a new madness spell being used. It kind of looks like a shower type of spell.

PLEASE DOM-SAMA! I have but one question! What was the scaling stat for the kung-fu weapons and perfume bottle?! Please tell me! It's all I want to know!

Still gonna bring my Magma Scalesword to every fight
the thumbnail is a scam dudeee
does the ending that you choose matter for the dlc? like frenzied flame, ranni, normal ending etc`?
and a bigger question is if losing melina or beating malenia changes the dlc?
I think great katanas will be faster than other big swords.
Those stats are wild, is 80 dex really necessary? You're sacrificing HP for like what 10 damage max?
Apparently the ash of war for the great katana is ICHIMONJI
So SIGN ME THE F UP.

You know ive olayed this game since its release and im still finding new things in the game, eith your help of course
Dom, do you mind telling us if the hand to hand combat weapon you used can be infused? It would be dope if so.
Say, do you remember the stat requirements for the martial art weapon, beast claw or perfume bottles?
