releasing the same day as the Elden Ring DLC is absolute suicide by their marketing team. 100% even if the game is the greatest souls like of all time it will be forgotten and overshadowed, probably never even mentioned in many circles.
Erdsteel Dagger's heavy attack spam has extremely fast multi hits, and props Talisman effects very quick. Godskin Swaddling Cloth with Bloody Slash Erdteel Dagger is wonderful.
At this stage I'm convinced that Hunter is an AI running on Gino's PC that edits these vids when he's not streaming, getting this much stream footage cut up this quickly is humanely impossible
Just wanted to say, watching your videos and streams has encouraged me to start trying out some challenge runs, and I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do, and keep creating the awesome videos!
Funny thing is: The legendary ThePruld is actually making a bunch of (if not all) the cutscene animations for Enotria. I knew this sponsor seemed familiar.
They changed the date. They literally stated it'd be suicide to launch with it. Plus Enotria had that release before Elden Ring announced it, so they had no idea 😅
I started Elden ring day 1 on the Bandit with daggers, they have never been bad, I melted bosses so fast that I missed whole boss phases and thought my friends were lying about.
its funny how people will say "x in elden ring sucks" but you just make every weapon class look so powerful due to your insane skill level at the game, its almost unfair lol. but you really do such an amazing job at showcasing any weapons true power
@@FedoraFlickNickehh yea there’s that too but it’s much easier when you have every major boss memorized and very rarely get hit lol. That’s something no build can give you
Gino at the start of the run:"I dont think daggers are gonna be that good." At the end:"daggers are fucking broken" Edit:I forgot the dude at the end of both sentences
This run was awesome to watch. Daggers was the second run I did after my first original playthrough in Elden Ring so it's cool seeing everything now that we know a lot more about the game
daggers was the first run i ever did and it kinda disappointed me to see so many people talking about how bad they are, if you maximize crit or bleed, a lot of fights can become pretty trivial
It's hilarious how powerful they get with the usual bleed shenanigans...not sure there'd be anything new about it except using the successive atks buff maybe.
1. Black Knight Sword 2. Hollowslayer Greatsword 3. Astora Greatsword Honestly I didn't try all that much different weapon types, just normal swords, katanas, greatswords and ultra great swords. I platinum'd the game and had a like 66//60 build with all the soft caps by the end. I also used the splitleaf greatsword but the only weapon that really spoke to me was the black knight sword, which I had just used for the first NG cycle of DS1's platinum. It had the best damage of all the weapons. Also I never understood twinblades, the combo everyone loves uses too much time/stamina for it to be worth it vs a higher damage weapon, for the hard bosses you usually only have time for like 1 safe hit.
1:47!48 that is dolores, the sleeping arrow. one of the 2 options for seluvis' first puppet purchase, the other being next to him, fingermaiden therolina. he actually sends therolina to aid against the radahn fight. and bcuz she is a puppet thats why she never speaks, only bows. sadly, that isnt letmesoloher(official retcon needs to happen last year) its jarwright.
Something interesting I found about crits they get a massive buff when your at full buffs from winged sword Millicents and the thorny cracked tear I hit one with a curved sword with base the base crit multiplier and the dagger talisman for almost 6k
They're not great, but I'll stand by a late-game blender build: dual wield poison-infused Bloodstained Daggers. (Alternatively, go Occult infusions + poison mist. Poison build-up is pretty much a non-issue, either way.) Run both Lord of Blood's & Kindred of Rot's Exaltations, Winged Sword/Milicent's Prosthesis, and whatever fourth talisman you want. Get minimum stat requirements, but, otherwise, pump everything into Arcane, Vigor, and Endurance. Innate bleed build-up _with_ non-somber upgrading means you can double-dip Arcane scaling for damage & multiple status build-ups. Poison exists solely to buff with Kindred of Rot's. You can _easily_ pump out thousands of damage in just a couple of attack chains once everything ramps up --- it's actually a little terrifying, and makes short work of bosses with limited mobility (like Mogh and Placidusax).
Damn you Gino xD I just started a new playthrough earlier this week, went with a faith/arcane pure caster with dragonbreaths for funs and to get ready for the DLC later this year. And then you come with a great vid on my favourite weapon type, now I am very tempted to either just start over again or just switch my current build to daggers instead xD
Mix. Erdsteel with any of the arcane related infusions will get you nice scaling on those stats. A good caster needs a backup weapon anyways, for emergencies. Made a longer more detailed comment but RUclips deleted it
@@nnaammllooss11 a good caster always should have a backup in case they run out of magic or get in a too tight spot. Any who claims they don't just doesn't have any idea what they are talking about and will soon find themselves dead. One of my earliest playthroughs was a dragon caster like you, with reduvia as a backup (Dragon seal scales MUCH more with arcane than faith, the latter barely affects the power of it) and it worked great, the blood blade comes pretty fast and uses low fp, you can really treat it as a cantrip or extra spell. You can make use of that for a dragon communion build. Safe travels, tarnished
I can and have done full casters before successfully and it works fine tbf, for PvE you definitely dont need a melee backup if you have a good build xD But it does help and is never a bad thing to have. That said, I will definitely give it a good think. Erdsteel and Reduvia are solid options so I might switch my occult spiked club for one of those. But I haven't fully decided yet if I stick with what I got now, or if I switch to full daggers again. Both build options are a lot of fun.
1:58:00 There are multiple theories why Seleen became a Graven Mass. One theory is that was her plan all along, that's why she wanted the bodies of Azur and Lusatt, so she could fuse with them and become a Graven Mass (and Graven Masses *are* kinda the thing that Primevil Current sorcerers are known for) The other theory, is that when Seleen "killed" Renalla, she didn't know Renalla effectively can't die, because she has about 1000 re-birthed clones, so Renalla just came back and turned her *into* a Graven Mass.
1:42:13 lustat's lore is something along the lines of he was shunned for primal magics(like azur and sellen) and was imprisoned in the sealed cave by the sages of selia town iirc. i cant remember where i heard all this(prolly vaati vidya) but i do know he azur and sellen are all hated by the college for the primal magic vs astral.
Idea for Twitch / RUclips quality differential. Take Twitch VOD, cut audio, overlay audio on RUclips VOD. Upsides of no loud notifications with the benefits of RUclips's higher bitrate. Bit more effort but definitely doable
One shooting the death rite bird in the consecrated snowfield with the inseparable sword and some buffs is one of my favorite parts of my runs. Holy just works so well on them.
my favorite build that I can never do because they keep being end game in my elden ring rando runs is great stars and rot hammer with poison mist and hooffrost stomp (or whatever they're called) cuz then you do rot poison frost bleed all at once
I actually did this exact type of run in 2022 while on deployment. Reducing and scorpion stinger for early game, then swapping the scorpion stinger for black knife for mid-late game was the way for me to go. Was lots of fun fighting Radagon
realizing that 4 hours on youtube is actually possibly 2 or 3 days of playing consistently on stream is so amazing. your elden ring content is literally so top tier and even with the appropriate amount of memes edited in! i thank thee foul Tarnished
these vids got me back on elden ring, starting with a strength build to get used to it again then im thinking about daggers cause this looks really fun
If you're locked on to the head, glintblades will shoot at the head. Not sure though if you can unlock at all, some spells will shoot at whatever you were locked onto when you fired it while others require the lock on to stay on
Its crazy your content made its way to me after dlc release and now that ive seem this its crazy my first play through and first time on any souls game i beat elden ring with the reduvia, i just liked the quick slashing and fighting style, i was only overpowered though by being over leveled on some bosses or mini bosses, now that i know what can make me better im hype to play ng+2 dlc i haven’t touched the game since i beat it
Crit damage ignores defenses so elemental (higher AR) is better for ripostes! 40 dex keen misericorde is 334 AR, whereas it hits 421 AR lightning infused. Even sacred/magic/cold hit higher AR than keen with base int/fai.
Crits do NOT ignore defenses. That’s a myth. But crits on daggers do so much raw damage that you always get a very mild defense calculation. So split damage is usually better than pure phys.
Twin Great Knife or Great knife/Reduvia on a Dex/Arcane build (or twin Bloodstained dagger for Str/Arc) is one of the best builds in the game. The multi-hits talismans, combined with the speed of your attacks & LoBE/SoA = huge numbers, plus super easy status procs. (The only thing that bugs me is you can't put Seppuku on a dagger, which is ridiculous but the other bleed AoW work just fine).
main build for my playthrough was buckler shield, mescord w/bloody slash and the assassin's charm for regen. loved it no matter how weak it is comparatively
Great video but what a missed opportunity at 8:31 "This is Madness" he was saying "Madness? This is SPARTA!" as you kick him off to his death Thats how I'm going to choose to remember it 😂
This was my first playthrough. Daggers only. After I got reduvia it was set in stone. Love daggers in this game, it's the only game where you can really make daggers work.
Wakizashi was weirdly important for my first playthru, I got banished to Caelid by the chest like immediately and stumbled into the cave with my starting stonesword key and picked it up lol
Is there a place where you have your routes for no hit runs? I was trying to attempt one myself but it would be nice to see something I can follow at my own pace.
2:04:13 Gino casually going into his menu to check something literal MILLISECONDS before God Devouring Serpent strikes and him actually getting the dodge made me LOL and gave me so much anxiety
I did this around summer time last year, and its not as bad as you think. Elden Ring was my first souls like, but immediately i picked up daggers as soon as i saw them. For one, horse back combat is impossible, so most knights cavalry bosses were done on foot. Dragons were also the same way. Second the attack speed of the daggers and the talismans that give you consecutive hits are amazing. Blood loss occurs every like 2-5 combo attacks depending on resistances, your own stats in arcane, and what weapons you use. Rot and poison are stackable and really easy to afflict on an opponent. Theres not real weapon for frost or death, but regardless, it still strong cause of the blights that are available. Third, you absolutely have to be in the enemies face. Theres no if ands or buts about it, but at the same time, most daggers that arent special have quickstep, which is a roll that is replaced with a slide and lefts you even do a semicircle around an opponent, making you very agile and can even pull of the nastiest backstabs sometimes. For me, my primaries were the Bloodstained Dagger in my main hand (this can be farmed as early as Weeping pen. by killing the large Demi Human resting on the bridge to the left of the Demi human forest.) And some fist weapons (for enemies that are slash/pierce resistant), and in my secondary hand, id have both Reduvia, for blood loss, or the Scorpion Stinger, for rot in the secondary hot bars. I actually capitalized on the usefulness of the daggers because I used the Black Whetstone on the Bloodstained Dagger to make it so that it scaled with Arcane, and so that it not only applies natural Blood loss, but Poison too. So basically Right hand was BSD, and left hand was either Red. or S.Sting. Theres also a ton of other daggers i used but these just seemed great for statuses and such. I had a blast with the daggers. They definitely do a bunch of damage but it for sure sacrifices being at a safe distance. It also really teaches you to learn the enemies moves since you arent gonna be able to gain distance on them fast enough. 10/10 would recommend.
I started the convergence mod yesterday as a blood initiate. So I went to grab the reduvia... and I noticed in convergence, it does STRAIGHT fire damage... like bloodflame... that mod is so friggin awesome man... and anybody who hasn't played it yet. I suggest they do... it's simple to install too... if I can do it, ANYBODY can
Btw pretty much any attack that morgott leads with the sword is parryable. So the one that is the sword and hammer right behind it is actually parryable for some reason. Even the overhead long hold swing is parryable lol.
The parkour sectons make my teeth itch, if on a small platform I prefer to jump in place and then hold down circle (I'm on playstation) in the air and hold it on landing, the player character will then go into a full sprint from standing when a direction is selected and you can do immediate long jumps.
I used Reduvia for most of a playthrough, then Great knife with Endure and Frost/Innate Bleed W/ Reduvia, tanking with daggers at light load is amazing
My favorite DS3 weapons are Hollow Slayer, Lothric SS (Baller Swag Sword vibes), carthus curved, Nameless King Swordspear, Millwood Axe and like in every From game, Claymore, butcher knife and Black Knight weapons. FUGS and Profaned UGS are fun too and most of the dlc weapons were great. Such an awesome game and has my favorite fashion in it.
I have a daggers build in ng+7 atm when you can get all the multi attack talismans it really pops off, does decent without the bleed too if u swap the blood affinity to occult, and at 99 arcane the great knife overtakes reduvia in damage on both affinitys, just miss the aow
Incredibly fun watch. The way you eke out just that smallest little bit more damage than Everyone else who plays this game , makes all the difference Ducking under attacks other people would dodge. Or just tank Beautiful
@@nikalasguadagnino1296 I'm sure it will be a fine, maybe even a great game, but all the souls tubers being sponsored just means they have a big marketing budget, which has nothing to do with the quality of the game. Take raid shadow legends, for example.
As someone who isn't super great at this game, it's on the verge of infuriating seeing just how many attacks you can either just stand still or casually walk to avoid.
Every time someone has told me something, at least as a generalized class of things, is useless in Elden Ring, me and my buddy have done a challenge run in seamless coop to test it. We heard fist weapons were bad, and we glitched into Leyndell at like lv56 and killed Morgott sub 60. We heard throwable items are bad, and recognizing that they definitely don't do enough damage for some bosses we decided to use bows and crossbows as well since they're gated by max ammo amounts. They're not as good as fists, but they work real good. Every time we go back to our standard dex arcane bleed and pure mage builds, we realize there's something about doing challenge runs.
on the margit fight you said the dagger was a little to light on the repose attack after the parry, but than ironically you bleed him almost immediately doing hundreds of damage. Like idk 80% of daggers have a passive effect, bleed, rot, poisen yk. u really gotta consider them specialties mista gino
I used daggers on my first play through. Very effective, however they don't stagger enemies often so I ended up switching to double pole arms and they were much easier to use
im forever a dagger bro. its just such a versatile weapon imo. if a boss can be parried it want to be able to parry them, and keeping a misericorde, with the right weakness equipped in a slot isn't that much weight, just been that way ever since i was introduced to demon souls by epicnamebro back in the day and he always played parry builds. so i would practice parrying for a solid hour before actually getting into demon souls back then and then it just became how i would play every souls like game. and i find that most bosses that cant get parried are quite vulnerable to statuses so thats where the other part of daggers come in. and if that fails glintblade phalanx can take care of it.
I can barely get through a lot of these fights while TRYING my best, and here you are fing around in your menu, dancing around the bosses like you're walking in the park...

"set to release June 21st" oh good I sure hope there isn't an incredibly highly anticipated expansion for the 2022 GOTY releasing on the same day...
Fun fact daggers are the only way to tru on hit one shot fire giant using weapons

Erdsteel Dagger's heavy attack spam has extremely fast multi hits, and props Talisman effects very quick. Godskin Swaddling Cloth with Bloody Slash Erdteel Dagger is wonderful.
Interesting
or you can put flame art on it to double down on the faith scaling for much more damage against bleed-immune bosses
Releasing on June 21st is tough 💀

Hunter is an absolute unit.
the dagger streams are almost 2 weeks old lol

Using it on a pyro build atm and yes it's pretty freaking good
Can you do this with the bandit class?
It also helps that you’re able to predict and dodge almost every attack with ease, something many cannot do
I started Elden ring day 1 on the Bandit with daggers, they have never been bad, I melted bosses so fast that I missed whole boss phases and thought my friends were lying about.
That happened to me, but my steam has always been bugged so i missed the misbegotton and crucible knight boss

honestly, most weapons in ER can be strong if built decently
it's mostly bad first impressions I feel
It’s less about skill and more the fact that any weapon/playstyle works when you upgrade/spec into it
Nah, he’s insanely good at the game, much much better than I am, but even I could make any weapon look good by simply building into its strengths.

This was my first playthrough. Daggers only. After I got reduvia it was set in stone. Love daggers in this game, it's the only game where you can really make daggers work.
i really enjoy these challenge runs!
1:17:00 that mosquito was not gonna let you get away with taking out his boss 😂
Wakizashi was weirdly important for my first playthru, I got banished to Caelid by the chest like immediately and stumbled into the cave with my starting stonesword key and picked it up lol
5:58 "Almost World's First Death to Patches right there"
I don't know about that...
Is there a place where you have your routes for no hit runs? I was trying to attempt one myself but it would be nice to see something I can follow at my own pace.
Coming back to watch this for the second time bc its been 3 weeks since an upload.....
Same 😢

Gino casually going into his menu to check something literal MILLISECONDS before God Devouring Serpent strikes and him actually getting the dodge made me LOL and gave me so much anxiety
what about him changing weapon mid waterfowl dance attack whilst dodging it all xD
u make it look so easy man; I had a hard time with RADAHN, but u took it in like 2 minutes
Bloody slash is what I used A lot through my first play through
I did this around summer time last year, and its not as bad as you think. Elden Ring was my first souls like, but immediately i picked up daggers as soon as i saw them. For one, horse back combat is impossible, so most knights cavalry bosses were done on foot. Dragons were also the same way. Second the attack speed of the daggers and the talismans that give you consecutive hits are amazing. Blood loss occurs every like 2-5 combo attacks depending on resistances, your own stats in arcane, and what weapons you use. Rot and poison are stackable and really easy to afflict on an opponent. Theres not real weapon for frost or death, but regardless, it still strong cause of the blights that are available. Third, you absolutely have to be in the enemies face. Theres no if ands or buts about it, but at the same time, most daggers that arent special have quickstep, which is a roll that is replaced with a slide and lefts you even do a semicircle around an opponent, making you very agile and can even pull of the nastiest backstabs sometimes. For me, my primaries were the Bloodstained Dagger in my main hand (this can be farmed as early as Weeping pen. by killing the large Demi Human resting on the bridge to the left of the Demi human forest.) And some fist weapons (for enemies that are slash/pierce resistant), and in my secondary hand, id have both Reduvia, for blood loss, or the Scorpion Stinger, for rot in the secondary hot bars. I actually capitalized on the usefulness of the daggers because I used the Black Whetstone on the Bloodstained Dagger to make it so that it scaled with Arcane, and so that it not only applies natural Blood loss, but Poison too. So basically Right hand was BSD, and left hand was either Red. or S.Sting. Theres also a ton of other daggers i used but these just seemed great for statuses and such. I had a blast with the daggers. They definitely do a bunch of damage but it for sure sacrifices being at a safe distance. It also really teaches you to learn the enemies moves since you arent gonna be able to gain distance on them fast enough. 10/10 would recommend.
You should try using the blue dancer charm when doing no hit runs, you don’t use any armor so I thought it would help.
I started the convergence mod yesterday as a blood initiate. So I went to grab the reduvia... and I noticed in convergence, it does STRAIGHT fire damage... like bloodflame... that mod is so friggin awesome man... and anybody who hasn't played it yet. I suggest they do... it's simple to install too... if I can do it, ANYBODY can
Btw pretty much any attack that morgott leads with the sword is parryable.
So the one that is the sword and hammer right behind it is actually parryable for some reason.
Even the overhead long hold swing is parryable lol.
The parkour sectons make my teeth itch, if on a small platform I prefer to jump in place and then hold down circle (I'm on playstation) in the air and hold it on landing, the player character will then go into a full sprint from standing when a direction is selected and you can do immediate long jumps.
Thank you Enotria for sponsoring this video now I have a new souls like game to play
🔥🔥🔥
I've also noticed the bile titan issue. I thought I noticed it on extreme (level 6) they ate an entire railgun to the face.
I used Reduvia for most of a playthrough, then Great knife with Endure and Frost/Innate Bleed W/ Reduvia, tanking with daggers at light load is amazing
My favorite DS3 weapons are Hollow Slayer, Lothric SS (Baller Swag Sword vibes), carthus curved, Nameless King Swordspear, Millwood Axe and like in every From game, Claymore, butcher knife and Black Knight weapons. FUGS and Profaned UGS are fun too and most of the dlc weapons were great. Such an awesome game and has my favorite fashion in it.
those parrys on Malenia were awesome man, great video
Damn this london playthrough looks mad
30 seconds into the Placidusax fight. "He's already in second phase, that's pretty good" most understated person I've ever seen.
3 hour gino video? christmas has come early!
Yea these daggers are really really good
-has like 45 buffs
Holy shit Patchs leather armor looks soooooo good!
I have a daggers build in ng+7 atm when you can get all the multi attack talismans it really pops off, does decent without the bleed too if u swap the blood affinity to occult, and at 99 arcane the great knife overtakes reduvia in damage on both affinitys, just miss the aow
Incredibly fun watch. The way you eke out just that smallest little bit more damage than Everyone else who plays this game , makes all the difference
Ducking under attacks other people would dodge. Or just tank
Beautiful
I love the black knife, I did a run where I only used its ability and I absolutely destroyed the game with it and black knife tiche
So who else wants to bet that enotria will be super over shadowed by Shadow of the Erdtree since they release the same day??
I really hope people give it a chance. Since basically all the big souls streamers are pushing it so hard I feel it'll be really good.
@@nikalasguadagnino1296 I'm sure it will be a fine, maybe even a great game, but all the souls tubers being sponsored just means they have a big marketing budget, which has nothing to do with the quality of the game. Take raid shadow legends, for example.
Apparently they've announced that they're going to be moving the release date so it's not with the DLC
As someone who isn't super great at this game, it's on the verge of infuriating seeing just how many attacks you can either just stand still or casually walk to avoid.
Over 3 hour EDITED video, you're a legend man
hope to see no hit runs include the dlc when it comes
Every time someone has told me something, at least as a generalized class of things, is useless in Elden Ring, me and my buddy have done a challenge run in seamless coop to test it. We heard fist weapons were bad, and we glitched into Leyndell at like lv56 and killed Morgott sub 60. We heard throwable items are bad, and recognizing that they definitely don't do enough damage for some bosses we decided to use bows and crossbows as well since they're gated by max ammo amounts. They're not as good as fists, but they work real good. Every time we go back to our standard dex arcane bleed and pure mage builds, we realize there's something about doing challenge runs.
on the margit fight you said the dagger was a little to light on the repose attack after the parry, but than ironically you bleed him almost immediately doing hundreds of damage. Like idk 80% of daggers have a passive effect, bleed, rot, poisen yk. u really gotta consider them specialties mista gino
That Knight at Fort Haight DOES have Lord of Blood’s Exultation
I used daggers on my first play through. Very effective, however they don't stagger enemies often so I ended up switching to double pole arms and they were much easier to use
finally Gino is doing the London challenge
The fact the game company sponsored this video is actually such a smart business play
thanks for your videos, so much fun to watch. quick question: why do you and others jump on top of chests before opening them?
Speeds up the animation. Not loads, but probably becomes habit for speed runners
im forever a dagger bro. its just such a versatile weapon imo. if a boss can be parried it want to be able to parry them, and keeping a misericorde, with the right weakness equipped in a slot isn't that much weight, just been that way ever since i was introduced to demon souls by epicnamebro back in the day and he always played parry builds. so i would practice parrying for a solid hour before actually getting into demon souls back then and then it just became how i would play every souls like game. and i find that most bosses that cant get parried are quite vulnerable to statuses so thats where the other part of daggers come in. and if that fails glintblade phalanx can take care of it.
Blade of Calling is my favorite dagger. The knockdown is hilarious!
daggers are really OP in pvp, right up there with fists/claws.
Would love to see more runs like this in the convergence mod to see how hard that mod can be without magic
I enjoyed my dual Erdsteel/Black Knife run but not as much as my Blade of Mercy run on Bloodborne.
35:03 Its Crazy To See That The Close Combat Weapon Hitboxes Have Been A Problem For A Long Time.
Idk if he did a run like this already but I’d love to see a run with only fist weapons like cestus/spiked cestus, boxing everything to death
I can barely get through a lot of these fights while TRYING my best, and here you are fing around in your menu, dancing around the bosses like you're walking in the park...
The Rykard fight scratches my brain it’s so clean !!!
