I didn't have enough arc so I cheese him with flames of frenzy in the doorway
Thanks Owen Wilson!!! Great video!!
Commenting here on 27 of November, and this thing with dragon still works! Really aprecciate that, u explained how to do that really well, liked the video immidiately, maybe i will edit my comment after i will watch the entire vid.
UPD: Really helpful video for me, i didnt played souls games but Elden Ring is a open world that i scare ( not bc of enemies, but bc of its giant scales ), so this really hepled me to became strong and play this in the way i wanted most, great video, thank you for existing in this world author.
I haven't done a str build in a FromSoft game since my very first playthrough of DS1 back in 2011. I was shaking with hype during the ER DLC announcement and since then have had an itch to do another playthrough. Deciding to finally go with str I found your video, and, man, it's awesome. A very different playstyle from my norm and it's been ridiculously fun so far.
Nice! Yeah Lion’s claw is very good 🤘
I’m digging the long format build guide nice work
Thank you! 🤘
Very clear video thank you. Also drinking game idea. Take a shot every time he says "this will make your life easier" haha
Thanks haha 🤘
Wow! I’ve got 875hrs in this game with multiple play throughs, but never played as a strength build or used colossal weapons. Always played faith, intelligence, dexterity or a combination of those. When i saw this build I decided to give it a chance, OMG compared to the other builds I’ve played this is the “easy” button. I beat bosses and the game with half the levels other builds required (for me anyway). If you’re new to souls style games or elden ring this is the build for your first play through.
Awesome! And yep it is. Lion’s claw is easy mode on GUTS Greatsword. 🤘
Magic is always the easy mode and strength is also pretty easy due to stagger. Strength has always been the less overpowered but more reliable build type.
Faith is just bad though. Holy being resisted by 80% is such a sucky concept even if it makes sense lore wise. Dex is as easy if not easier than strength.
Overall magic builds are bad stat wise and for someone like me who never goes over lvl 100 (because that's too easy) strength is great for that.
@@icebox1954 Faith is really good. You do not have to use holy if you do not want to. Catch flame carries early game, and you can immediately get erdtree seal and get it to +9. You also get Ancient dragon lightning strike immediately with the wrong Warp. The talismans and tears are really easy to get early for faith as well, faith gets frenzy burst to kill erdtree avatars super easily. Faith also unlocks blasphemous blade, one if the best weapons. Faith is the easiest build.
@@spongbobsquarepants3922 Blasphemous Blade is indeed baby mode but I haven't actually touched ancient lightning or frenzy yet. I was mainly talking about holy due to resistances.
@@icebox1954 That is fair enough, but you can still deal a lot of damage to bosses with the envoys long horn, especially large bosses.
I love Greatsword! I've always used it in all dark souls titles. I just got eldenring and didn't know it was in the game. Now I can't wait to get home and follow this guide. Keep up the good work bud
Thanks! Be sure to sub. The guide should help you a fair bit. 🤘
hay dude I did everything step by step but the great sword doesn't appear the chest is empty do you know why
Crazy good build and awesome video. So clear and well made, 10/10. Thanks a ton.
Thank you! 🤘
Quick tip for dog carriage when grabbing the greatsword. Run up the hill to the right from the sight of grace and jump directly on top of the carriage then down. You will not aggro the dogs and you'll be safe. It's a nice way to save a loading screen! Great videos man! Love your content. I'm just waiting for this channel to blow up
Haha thanks! Probably when dlc hits lol hopefully not too long. 🤘
thank you lol i did that in my run
hay dude I did everything step by step but the great sword doesn't appear the chest is empty do you know why
More like this. Just coming back for DLC and walk thru's like this and showing where to get things over just listing strong builds is much better!
🤘
Appreciate it your help. Really do. Now i need a badass early game armor for the build 😂
The banished knight set is a great set and you can get it early in Stormveil. Needs to be farmed though.
Love your content dude! Can’t wait to see what you do when the DLC comes out
Thanks! 🤘 me too, can’t wait!
For mistake it’s also really nice to switch to Bleed and use Braggarts Roar. Charged R2 will bleed pretty much anything that can bleed in 1 hit initially then the full 2 hit charged r2 combo will bleed basicslly anything after that. Tho sticking to lion claw for things that can’t bleed is probably best
Yeah true lions claw is always OP though, even late game 👍
Thanks for this video. Just Getting into elden ring and really wanted to be just a crazy 2 handed monster and this is perfect!!! I did mess up and only get the dragon kill once but messing around and following this guide. Really appreciate it!
Thanks! 🙏 glad the guide helped. As long as you have enough levels to 2 hand it (21 STR) you’re good 👍
I'm following your guide for the lion's claw part. Just wanted to know if the mobs and bosses scale in ER or not... coz my rot damage seems wayyy too low than yours. Can't even kill him with all the FP flask charges (I have 8). I'm level 40, vagabond class. Thanks in advance!
Very very awesome guide, helped me a lot thanks bro
Happy to help! Be sure to sub 🤘
You could also use the teleporter behind the church of marika so you can go to the dragon much faster. Not to mention you also pick up a golden seed. There is also a gold-pickeld fowled foot right at the beginning of the game. You could also pick Radagons soreseal which is stupid good early game.
Yeah I mentioned the soreseal but the 15% extra damage taken can be rough for new players. And nice 👍
Excellent video, instant subscriber!
Appreciate it! 🙏
I subbed a couple days ago. Great content, explained simply. Well done, and thank you
Thank you! 🤘
@@TheKingofRedLightning No. Thank you. 🤘
So just a quick question, following this build do I keep levelling up strength, endurance and vigor? Apologies for the silly question, new Elden ring player and wanting to change my build, just gotten past rennala
Cool build thx:)
🤘
Great video, I made a new character for the DLC and I wanted to go with the UNGA BUNGA build
Slap Giant Hunt instead of Lion's Claw on the Greatsword and call it a day. Most enemies in the game are larger than you and Giant Hunt flips them into the air allowing you to chain stunlocks. Malenia can be killed without her being able to Waterfowl this way.
Later on sure but this is for the start of the game. You get giant hunt in the end section of the lakes. They’re both good imo.
Just followed the whole video, really happy with the results!! Hope this channel gets more recognition 🙌
Thank you! 🙏 🤘
Does the dragon glich still work since I failed
Nice video as always 👍
🤘
how should you allocate your points in the end?
does anyone know how to make this build better during the mid game, idk why but it feels pretty weak now againt some bosses
Jesus christ this is my natural blind playthrough almost to the T :D :D I rerolled to bandit because I couldnt beat margit and I learned to parry him instead, found reduvia by accident (I looked up the sword tho because I really wanted it) and then just naturally progressed as far as I could
Wait did you upgrade the dragon rot or have anything that helped it oh was it just two times
Do you know any other fast rune farms? I killed the dragon and wasn’t fast enough to get to the grace
Yo i missed up the dragon killing what to do now???
I just got the game and holy bro thank you so much. Took me some time to get him to rot but such a good, detailed guide. Will def be subbing.
Awesome! Enjoy, it’s a great build late game too. DLC in 4 weeks! 🤘
@@TheKingofRedLightningyessir cant wait!!
What happens if I mess up the dragon rune farm? Do I restart the character? :D
2024 and the tutorial still holds up no issues
This made my life a lot easier!
Be sure to sub! 🤘
The third church of Marika has a teleport to the north eastern side for that big dragon.
Took me 2 hours to poison the lion and 20 seconds to beat Margit 🤣🤣🤣. Newb to the souls games and I followed to the T. Thank you for the video! Keep up the great work!
At least you got him! And awesome will do 🤘 💯
Thanks for making my life a whole lot easier
Happy to help! 🤘
@@TheKingofRedLightning btw which stats do you suggest leveling up when using this build? You may have mentioned it somewhere but I forgot
Awesome vid. Thx a lot man. Now I just need armor to fit the sword 💀
Any armor will do but the Knight’s set at the Roundtable hold is good. It has reasonable defense and hits 51 poise (the first poise threshold). 🤘
You didn't lie! Time for people to roll through the game lol
Haha yep! 🤘
The radagon soreseal will be way more useful. The additional strength, endurance and vigor more than make up for the increased damage taken. The greatsword is extremely heavy and you can save a lot of levels with it. Also, you can start with hero or prophet which is way more stat optimized for your build which seems to gear towards str and faith.
Yep but you’d need arcane for the rot to easily get lions claw. I mentioned the soreseal but don’t recommend it for the 15% additional damage you take while using it (for new players). Also starting with a bleed weapon can farm the dragon for you easily as well and slightly quicker with the reduvia. Faith is only for buffs.
@@TheKingofRedLightning Actually, no need arcane and rot. Just use giant hunt first and it works pretty well on the greatsword. Easily melee killed the lion with giant hunt. Just make it standard infusion as you don't have heavy infusion yet.
@@jasonsoh79 this is for starting out. Giant hunt is a drop later in the lakes.
@@TheKingofRedLightning I remember my game that i got the giant hunt pretty early and killed the lion using giant hunt. In fact i was quite undecided btw both at that point. Anyway, it's not too far a run to lake liurnia.
@@jasonsoh79 that’s not going to help them get it right away and it’s at the far end of the lake. That nights Calvary can be tough as well.
Any recommendations on what stats to keep building? Vigor strength and endurance I’m assuming? Should I respec when I get up higher level? Thanks!🙏
Yep! Just keep going for strength, vigor, endurance & maybe some faith for buffs. 🤘
I'm writing out this guide for myself to follow while I play. Is there anything that I can do if I fail the dragon farm and it doesn't come back? Can I just load a save?
On PC there’s ways (I’m not sure how though). On console no not really lol you gotta try your best to farm it at least a few times. Still works on 1.10 too. 🤘
Love the content man has helped me learn how to build
Awesome! 🤘
Great vid, Im going to use this in a new game and get up to the DLC. Any recommendations for what to level up stat wise throughout the game? (DARGON GLITCH STILL WORKS) 05/21/24
Yep! Check out my latest video. RL 150 build for this is in it. 🤘
Very late to this video but just wondering, how should I go about leveling as I progress in the game? Like what stats should I focus on
There’s a late game version in my top 20 OP builds. It’s under “best videos”. 🤘
Lmao..following this I got everything what u said in this video...keep doing what u doing..side note. Oh yeah he jumped up there like u said..I ran the wrong way into the pit lol I got what I needed though
Why wont guts's sword appear when i open the chest? It literally doesnt spawn, ive opened it hundreds of times, same result
I'm late to the party - great vid but for newer players why not just direct them to the 3rd church of Marika teleport - get radagon's soreseal and then loop over to the carriage from behind (no need to sneak thru doggos). That way, on a Hero, they can use the Greatsword w/o leveling at all. Then they can either cheese the dragon or just play normally. Even at base Hero level Margit is really easy. Seems like a waste of stats to invest in FTH/ARC just to beat the Lion. Lion dropped really easy with the stamp upward cut from GUTS with a little distraction from my wolves. I enjoy your videos btw. EDIT: I see others mentioned Radagon's as well - fwiw I've had no issues taking hits, even in the basic Hero armor. I was able to drop the seal around lvl 20-25
Thanks! And while that’s true I generally avoid the extra damage for new players. It’s sort of a glass cannon talisman. As per starting class, sometimes it’s easier to start with an easy weapon. Plus if they ever want to start OP early the Bandit class can use the Reduvia from the start, if they opt not to go GUTS.
Think it can go good against the fire gaint
Is there any reason behind not going to +4 and above? Or was it just because of materials?
Just materials I could get early.
look at the timing 1 day ago and i downloaded game 1 day ago nice
Haha awesome! 🤘
I'm trying to use this Feb '24 and the rot doesn't seem to be applying the damage over time to the lion with 2 hits, it took me 4 direct hits. What worked for me was to back into the corner of the platform on the side with the wooden structure by the barrels. If I backed up by the barrels, the lion would de-aggro and just start walking straight away leaving him open for an easy direct hit.
He still rots. You can hold it down for a longer duration. You just have to hit him with it a decent amount. Switch most of your flasks to FP.
Can you do another one for patch 1.10? or does this still work without nerfs?
There were basically no nerfs on 1.10 for PvE. This whole setup is solid 👍
Now I Have Become Guts!
If i get a dollar everytime you said "make your life a lot easier" I'd be elon musk by now.
Great video btw
Haha thanks!
what stats should be mainly upgraded after godrick?
Vigor, endurance & strength. 🤘
What would be the late game build for this going into the dlc? Thanks for the videos
Check out my latest video! Should be the first one GUTS RL 150 build. 🤘
Does this work with Vagabonds too or are they differences?
Any class is fine tbh. It’s just easier to start with a bleed weapon and the bandit can be OP pretty early.
what do you continue to level up on this build?
Strength, vigor mind & endurance.
Do i need to use reduvia to killcthe dragon? What if i just use my main weapon?
Anything with bleed will do 👍
which affinity do you use for the lions claw?
Heavy for sure 👍
Does farming and overleveling cause the enemies/bosses to be harder to kill ?
You may have gotten an answer by now, but just in case you haven't... No. Your characters level does not change anything about the enemies in the game. The only thing that does, is starting NG+. So starting a brand new character at level 1 and farming/powerleveling to 100 before fighting Margit, will make that fight easier because Margit will have the same stats as when you *woke up* as a level 1 character.
Hope that helps.
Hey there, I am a big ass fan of Berserk and always wanted to play as guts in Elden Ring. But smh i cant use the Reduvia’s special blood technique because i am new to this game
You don’t have to use that weapon, it’s just easy early too. You need about 13 arcane & Dex to use it.
I get on horseback when I know it’s gonna need one more proc so I don’t miss an extra step
Yep perfect 👍
im genuinely so ass at souls games that even gettin the reduvia is like a hour job
I just bought this game today and am excited to try this build as my first play through
I picked hero class and got the right amount of levels as you did to hold the colossal sword but it won’t let me is it because I picked the hero class?
2 hand it. Y + RB on xbox. You’ll need 21 strength.
@@TheKingofRedLightningthanks I think they updated it so I had to have 31 strength to use it
how about stat build after this video? should i focus on strength only or what
For GUTS yep. 60 strength. When 2-handing you’ll have 90 (1.5x bonus). Heavy affinity or fire affinity. 60 vigor. 25-30 endurance. 20 mind minimum. Eventually you’ll get the shard of Alexander & ritual sword talismans, which are both great for Lion’s Claw. Fire scorp if you’re using fire affinity. 🤘
@@TheKingofRedLightning thanks bro👊🏻
Golden vow and flame get me strength doesn't stack. I think you need the spell golden vow not the ash of war to make it work. Or was there a patch? Because i tested it with the ash of war golden vow on a dagger and it overwrites the flame get me strength effect
The body effect won’t show but they 100% stack. One is an aura buff the other a body buff. You can have 1 buff of each type. 🤘
@@TheKingofRedLightning Oh okay thanks, I didn't know that. Are there any advantages to switching to the spell later in the game? Because I have also seen many using the spell in the same build
@@jann7668 5% more attack & defense and it’s twice as long.
does the rotting still work on the lion? hit him a bunch but it doesnt rot him
Yep the second application just takes a bit more time and you gotta hit him with most of it. You can hold it down for a longer duration.
@@TheKingofRedLightning didn’t know I could hold it down lol thanks bro
Can I find one in console xbox ??
Lmao, I paused the video to fight and kill patches. Imagine how I felt when you said you keep him alive as a merchant. 😂
how in the hell do you use the golden vow i have it equipped on my katar but i have no clue how to use it
If it’s the ash L2/LT. The incantation version needs a seal.
Does the rune farm still work?
Yep! Just gotta be really quick with running to the Grace is all.
I hit the lion in the fort with the rot spell like 6 times and he didn't get poisoned :c
great guide, i wanted to make a greatsword build properly this times (was my first fromsoft char ever but respeced to a rob build lol) and this gets u to get going fast. thanks
Happy to help! Be sure to sub 🤘
@@TheKingofRedLightning i am already
You can just kill the Lion Guardian with the bleed weapon from range easily. Worked with even just 1 Flask. No need to get rod at all
Nice! Rot helps though as a general cheese. You can beat him at level 1 with most weapons (it’s not too bad) but cheesing some stuff early helps.
Is there a mid late game continuation ?
Check out either of my latest videos, they both have what a RL 150 Lion’s Claw build (endgame/NG+) should look like. Very good build btw even for the endgame. 🤘
Brother I don't found The gate in the cave 32:15.. I hope you respond and thank you for everything
It’s in there. As long as you’re in murkwater cave. It’s on the right side. Good luck 👍
I'm so confused, I've watched this 3 times, followed everything to a T, and I'm not doing anywhere near as much damage to Margit as you do in this vid. I'm using flame grant me strength, switching to the dagger, using my physick, and switching to two-hand my GUTS+3....what am I missing.....I have the talisman...i just can't figure it out
Are you two handing? You need either to 2 hand or have 31 strength.
@@TheKingofRedLightning i just leveled up to 31 str and dual wield, but do I need to have the dagger with golden vow equipped or it doesn't matter?
what armor do you recommend after beating godrick
The knight set at the Roundtable hold is great early game. Good defense, medium weight and 51 poise. 🤘
i bought it ! im on heavy load but im going to try and lvl up Endurance @@TheKingofRedLightning
@@XxVeroxStarX yep you just need some decent endurance. 🤘
Thank goodness the dragon rune farm still works 😭.
It’s helpful for sure 👍
@@TheKingofRedLightning I messed up what do i do now lol
@@kermit2681 either start over or level up as you fight bosses. If you have 21 strength you can 2 hand the weapon.
W build
🤘
Is there a armor to use for this build?
Any works. Armor doesn’t really matter too much in ER. There is poise thresholds for PvP though at 51 & 101. Aside from that it’s up to you/pick any with some defense and reasonable weight. The knights set at the Roundtable hold has 51 poise and decent defense for reasonable weight.
Pick what you think looks cool. I will say the hyper armor and charged heavy attack lends towards heavy armor that becomes a huge investment though. Just pick what you like the look of.
Then get a health bar and play the game. Armor isn’t the most important.
Why I’m not doing any damage
How would we go about this build going in to the mid / late game?
Vigor, strength (54 at least) and endurance. Eventually you’ll get the ritual sword talisman and shard of Alexander. 2 great talismans for this build.
I say first step is finding out what armor you want to wear.
The sword is so heavy you start off not wearing much.
Build up endurance to equip what you want and enough faith to cast the buffs you need.
I personally put a lot of points into stamina and wear heavier armor. Banished knight’s early on.
The slow wind up and hyper armor on attacks mean you’ll take hits and the extra poise and damage mitigation helps.
You get the added benefit of more endurance so you can swing for longer. Often you can stagger lock enemies with your light attack provided your green bar doesn’t run out.
Can this be used throughout the entire game or would it be insufficient?
All game. Lions claw on guts is fantastic imo. Posture damage and good strength scaling/damage.
@@TheKingofRedLightning You also have some very nice hyper armor when using lion's claw too, very good on GUGS for sure
You can beat the game with pretty much every weapon - they are pretty well balanced. And Colossal Swords are one of the best classes. It kinda also depends on your play style, but I'd say this will be close to a Easy Mode. Till you face Malenia, she can be a bit pricky, but at this point you'll be pretty much at the end game and she is an optional boss. You can also buy the Zweihander even before the Guts Sword and dual wield. Your jump attacks will DESTROY pretty much everything in front of you.
@@parcaleste malenia isnt hard
@@joltzdude "Malenia isn't hard" is a really elitist thing to say. :o)
hay dude I did everything step by step but the great sword doesn't appear the chest is empty do you know why
My only guess is you’ve already picked it up. Otherwise it’s always in the chest in Caelid by the bigger dogs. Could be a bug too I’m not sure, it can happen though unfortunately.
@@TheKingofRedLightning its neither of them I personally think it might need an update but not very sure about it
Didn't realize npc could invade. Kept checking to see if i was online. What clues did i miss?
NPC will invade at the ravine offline or online. Yura comes to help either way too.
I’m going through it but I’m not getting the rot effect to the lion and I am hitting him with it
Are you holding it down? That can help a lot.
@@TheKingofRedLightningthanks I did it
Ok, be real with me, should I follow this guide as a new player? Or should I just play the game at my own pace and do this for like, another build later?
It’s pretty easy with lions claw, depends really. If you like to explore with some challenge use the guide. If you roll on your own it’s more difficult but that can be rewarding. So it’s really whether you want a chill playthrough with some challenge (guide), or if you want it to be more difficult (solo). Hope that helps 🤘
@@TheKingofRedLightning Thank you kindly! Great video!
can i use vagabond as starter base
Sure! 🤘
I messed up the run dragon twice in 2 different saves
It happens. It’s a very short window. You can do the last hit on horseback.
I'm sorry, my dude, but Radagon's Soreseal is a beast early and midgame. Vigor, Endurance, Strength, and Dexterity by 5 is A LOT and it basically negates the 15% damage that you'll get, because you'll be able to put some more armor, on top of your boosted health. Otherwise nice guide - some nice shortcuts there. 👍
I just don’t like recommending it for new players. It turns you into a glass cannon from the start. The 5 extra vigor doesn’t negate the 15% (the math works differently/isn’t as straightforward). It can basically negate your armor early on, even better armor. For example without it you may have 15%-20% defense, with it maybe 5%-10%. And at around level 70-80 it becomes less useful too. Just my opinion on it though. And thanks 👍
@@TheKingofRedLightning OK, let's say the damage is too much, but early on everything kills you with couple of hits anyway, so it's pretty much whatever. But 5 Endurance can allow you to double wield really early on in the game and this can be the difference between 3 hit kills an 4 hit kills, not to mention the Stagger. When I was just starting the game, this talisman helped me immensely. Had a hard time parting ways with it, if only for the 5 extra Endurance points.
Is there another way to farm runes ? I accidentally killed the dragon one my first try 😭
Early? It’s tough. I often restart. There’s Mohg’s palace farm but that’s after Stormveil.
@@TheKingofRedLightning Guess I have to grind and wait a bit more lol Thank you though
Why didn't you grab the medallion piece while you were at the fort
I take the precipice in the lakes usually, so no medallion needed. 🤘
does the dragon glitch still work rn?
Yep 💯 just have to be really fast.
great! it worked! amzing tutorial, i subbed and will for sure watch more@@TheKingofRedLightning
What to do if you mess up the dragon part
Just move forward & level naturally through bosses. As long as you have enough strength to 2 hand you’re good. You need 21.
