Absolutely W video for a W expansion. I urge you to make MORE videos about the DLCs secret zones, new weapons, new bosses, maybe even more tips and just bring back the content that was here when Elden Ring first launched. This is like 2022 once again boiiiiisssss ITS ELDEN RINGING TIME 😍💯
So for anyone that didnt know, the mohg and morgott shackle items that are normally used to stun their respective bosses can be used in the base game (and the dlc) to reveal any hidden walls in a fairly large area. I belive this is becuase they do 0 damage to anything within a radius as part of a coding quirk in order to initiate their effect during the boss fight, meaning they can still technically hit things. However a new useful way to use these items in the dlc is to reveal the hidden spirit springs that would normally require a rock pile to be knocked over, I disovered this while looking for an invisible wall in a random enclosed area full of animals near a furnace golem in the north west of the map near the last of miquellas crosses. Due to the large radius its likely you dont actually have to hunt down that little rock pile for a lot of these spirit springs but can instead just slam the shackle on the floor.
I went in Str/Int. But I switched to Str/Arc for Impenetrable Thorns with Maternal staff, and also Heavy Beast Claws with bloodflame blade. The build also worked well for the final boss, only with (bleed aligned) GUTS Greatsword with the Spinning Gravity Thrust ash of War you get off of Commander Gaius' boss remembrance weapon.
Great video. I am also looking forward to an NG8 with the new spells and weapons. The staff that lets you use it for both spells and incantions is awesome and with the perfumes the way they are in the expansion it makes them more viable for non experts I think, and more likely to try new things. Again great work on the video thank you!
Something else of note is really pay attention to the text when picking Remembrance items. A new staff doubles for both Sorcery and Incantations while Messmer's spear has a custom charged R2 that throws the spear. Actually not even just Remembrance items. Like the Black Steel Greathammer has a custom guard counter AND gets bonus damage from applying Golden Grease or Order's Blade to the weapon (not just making it Sacred though).
I’m like slvl 320 in ng+ 1 so I was thinking of going for a balanced build that gets me close to being able to use and try anything I pick up. An all-rounder build
@@oysterlad to be fair, my stats wont be strong enough in each area to make it particularly strong. I'll be slightly less good than a specialized build at the end of the day anyway. just able to switch around for fun
I went in with my faith strength build. Was shocked that I kept getting new spells again and again. Second playthrough was with my mage, made a bee line for the spells though. Think I'm going with my claw build next. Wish I had a friend I could drop items to trade with my other character.
I went in with my strength greatsword build and quickly upgraded stamina for a strength/poise. I stagger just about everything in 3 strong attacks, some even 2 hits stagger it’s amazing. RL 145
I went in with pure strength. I haven't yet found anything that scales purely with strength, so I'm still sticking with the Great Axe (Wild Swings), the Nightrider Glaive (Giant Hunt) and the Rotten Battle Hammer (Also Wild Swings). I should give some of the new big weapons a try, even though they seem to be meant for Quality Builds, or Strength+Faith builds. It's served me well for the most part. I took down one of the colossal fire siege golems, and pretty much cleared everything I could without beating the first two bosses, but I'm really struggling with the main bosses. I still haven't beaten the Divine Dancing Lion or Rellana yet. With their high poise, tendency to jump around, and very small openings that they leave, it's hard to stagger them, and hard to get a read on their movements. I'm thinking of going back and reloading an old save with one of my other builds to see if they fare better.
@@TheAlzabo lightning one is dex/fth not just faith. I think they might all be dex hybrid with something. Also i don’t think they will have affinities just interchangeable AoWs
My build was a lvl 713 collecter ( i spent my time getting every attainable item in the game while i waited for the dlc) i will say on ng+20 the final boss definitely doesnt go down easyily even at max level
Weapon catalyst! That what I want. Are there any straight sword version? Also 2:39 remind me of crow talon from ds3 but mostly on the throwing side. Also feels like lady butterfly weapon.
I had a weapon master sitting at about 250 so I'm a pretty balanced build but running my great sword and the fingerprint shield and just going old school sword and board, been easy
After their questionable absence in the base game, it's nice to see Catalyst Weapons again. Though two sour notes that I've noticed is that 'Impaling Thrust' sadly appears to be the "locked in" Ash of War and the user apparently can't infuse the weapon with neither Dexterity, Frost, or Magic. So close to what we already had in DS2, but yet it's another in a long line of disappointing carry overs from DS3.
Imagine if they had spell/sword or spell/hammer, spell/scythe in the base game at the start? would it break the spell games? I wonder. Or just allow the melee/spell weapons to only have half of your spell slots or something. Kinda missed a trick here From.
Do the offhand perfume aplies extra status (aka you now do 2x more status total) or does it delude the original one so it does 1/2 and 1/2 of total status ? were any of the new casting weapons buffed ? since the reports are that the casting damage scaling on them is abysmall at best
can you put ashes of war in the carian sword? because if you can put carian grandieur on it would make my dreams come true. I see it has impaling thrust, but I dont know if that wiill be the removable one or a fixed variant
So interesting fact, “Scadu” is just the old Germanic way of spelling/saying “Shadow” IMO, just saying Shadow Tree Fragments is better than “Scod” 🤷🏼♂️
The fact Miyazaki has said Elden Ring plus Shadow of the Erdtree is "Part Way There" in regards to his perfect vision to a fantasy adventure videogame is mind-bottling dude. One of the Greatest games ever is getting a "yeah, its ok, I guess" from its creator
No, he means that he himself can't quite make the game he would consider perfect. Not that Elden Ring is just ok. There are probably some systems or mechanics he hasn't thought of yet that he hopes someone else might.
Base game dark souls 3 had like 4 or 5. The weapons in Elden Ring were the biggest disappointment to me, with things like catalyst weapons and more creative paired weapons being nowhere to be seen. If this DLC can deliver on a transforming weapon like the aquamarine dagger or the ringed knight straight sword, I'll be fully satisfied. Everything I'd seen only elevates the game to the level of base DS3's weapons imo, if they can meet the expectations set by both DLCs, I'll finally quit complaining about this, even though I still think it's unforgivable the game launched with nothing more creative than standard weapons with several varieties of death laser that does a million bajillion damage on the weapon art.
@@Ezekiel_Allium my first from game was Sekiro. Now elden ring Sometime i see people complain about what is/isn’t in ER from other From games. At this point, i’m kinda glad i’m ignorant of it. Ignorance is Bliss in this moment
@@tlungu962 lol, that's a good mindset. I do think elden ring was a huge improvement over ds3 in a lot of ways, like, I do think jumping was a huge stride forward that adds a lot to the flow of combat, and I think the new setting gave them a huge surge of creative freedom. But that's just what makes it so strange to me they walked back all the massive strides they made with the arsenal. IMO Elden Ring should have released with an arsenal to rival DS3's DLCs, but it didn't even live up to the base game. But that's my single huge complaint other than how they handled a certain minor boss, and everything I've heard about the dlc seems to be everything I loved about the base game, and the DLC does also innovate the arsenal in new ways. I'm really looking forward to see how I can incorporate the perfumes into a wacky offhand setup, and the default beast claws and dry leaf arts actually make me want to try out fist weapons for the first time ever lol.
@@Ezekiel_Allium yup despite my ignorance the stuff i hear in some of their older games would 100% be nice. Very excited for those fist weapons too. I also had no interest in that weapon type until the dlc.
@@Ezekiel_Alliumwell theres a boss soul weapon that gives dual wield light greatsword and longswird offhand. moveset is very fun and its Ash is basically night and flame but with blade beams and big ring of fire.
I'm running full strength beast claws. Incredibly difficult to beat bosses, but I also have a mimic tear to help me out. We call ourselves the beastie boys.
Have you tried using the aggro mask with the mimic tear? Like equip the aggro mask and cast your mimic then take off the mask. It's the best way to play.

Feels like the design team was watching Clever's videos and said "yeah, we could do that".
Are all the perfumes bottles primarily dexterity, or what do they scale on out of curiosity? >.

What are the two little boxes on the right side of the D pad menu options?
Arcane dex. Proc status effects
It's confirmed, my ultimate wizard will be a perfume fire ..err wizard again.
I was gonna skip it actually, but sword that doubles as a staff for sorceries makes me doubt now.
Is there a weapon that can cast incantations too ? Would be really nice to cast some heals on the go.
Not a melee weapon, no but there is a staff that can cast both sorceries and incantations. However it has worse scaling than a dedicated staff or seal
I didnt realize you were joking about the new summon. It sucks.
I hope there are more dragons or dragon spells for my Dragon Communion build!
I’m bring in a quality build myself lowest stat at 42 and I think that’s my arcane
I never used bottles in 500hrs of base game because I thought they would be limited use as opposed to infinite😂🤦♂️

can you put ashes of war in the carian sword? because if you can put carian grandieur on it would make my dreams come true. I see it has impaling thrust, but I dont know if that wiill be the removable one or a fixed variant
Nope
Hello, is that red great kitana you had a giant rivers of blood?

Yes, there's a few. At night you can find these blue toombstone circles in certain areas and they always have a tear there
