My first playthrough was Brick Hammer + Battle Hammer, then NG+ they both grew up into 2 x Giantcrushers, as a strength enjoyer it was like reaching Nirvana.
@@willfultrain6779 According to the item description, it was used in the war against the giants. Would’ve been awesome to see it finish off the final one. Gino shooting it with a cannon was pretty cool tho, even if it was a miserable fight
@@daveys_gaming_corner Could he not have gotten it and then used it later? I thought you could only use one build per zone, not one build specific to that zone.
it is so nice how you fight, no panic rolls, just jumping, keep calm, dodge ... and here I'm with over 450 hours, finished the game multiple times, up to 100% but still panic roll like a dumbass
Barbaric Roar is totally slept on. Bit slow for bosses, but it makes all landscape enemies insanely easy since you can just poise through their attacks and usually stagger/stun them as well with the 3 hit combo. Love it
Ruins greatsword is a hell of a lot of fun. My first playthrough I was using Bloodhound's Fang (didn't we all lol), and I wasn't a huge fan of the move set. When I picked up the Ruins Greatsword and gave the AoW a try I remember cackling like a mad woman. You feel like a giga chad lining mobs up and mowing them down with a single L2, and you can score multiple hits on large bosses if you line it up right. If you're a strength build struggling in the Haligtree, that sword will save you a world of grief: it's very good for knocking mobs off of branches and platforms, and for making use of choke points. And it's also great for breaking enemy guard when they're using a shield. In NG+ you can break through the 99 cap by two-handing, and dumping points into int will add (some) magic damage and open up access to spells. Overall, it's just a solid weapon.
Yeah Ruins Greatsword was the first weapon I tried that just felt 'right'. Also was nice cuz I got stuck on the bosses that drop it for a while so it felt very earned to use! Ended up going with it for most of my first playthrough.
I did a dex build on my first playthrough and whenever I play now I go for unga bunga str weapons. I love the watchdog staff. I unga therefore I bunga.
Gino single handedly revived my love for Elden Ring again and then the DLC was announced lol Want to try my hand at these challenge/specific thing runs.
I'm fighting for my life whenever I get to Maliketh. Desperately trying to avoid all his moves. Then I watch you just walk around him like he is not even there. You're too good Gino 😭😂
Gino was the first Elden Ring player I watched on RUclips. After watching many others, I honestly think Gino is the best at this game as far as I can tell. This dude is a beast.
I like that you actually use starting character besides just using the wretch for every build it makes the play through more interesting and also more relatable for most ppl first playthroughs
Holy shit I literally thought to myself like 3 days ago, ”I wish there was a strength version of this series,” and then you post this a couple days later! So sick!
Gino: This is why you don’t run to the side on the fire breath attack, you should run between the legs instead it’s much safer. Also Gino: *runs to the side and takes no damage, then runs between the legs and dies instantly*

@ginomachino you should leave a pinned comment of your regional to do lists for these build videos. That would be dope so people could take similar approaches.
i fucking love with how much power the NPC's go down with the giant crusher, you basically pulverize them, years of training to get demolished by a half naked chick with a huge hammer
I like to imagine Maliketh saying "I will not have it stolen from me again." is not referring to the Black Knife Assasins, but every other challenge run up to this point where he gets his ass whooped-
My buddy and I found that if you have 1 person (and mimic) running 2 colossal weapons and jump attacking, and another running phantom slash with mimic, the amount of attacks per second perma stun Melania to the point she cannot leave the ground. The most hilarious fight I have ever done in elden ring and I will never do anything else to kill her anymore lol.
I'm ready for the all support build. Uses spirits of all types, I enjoy Great shield soldiers. Golden vow, erdtree blessing, Various buffs, rally standard, icon shield, deathbed dress, royal remains in other slots, mohgs rune, old lord talisman, erdtree +2, dragoncrest greatshield, ritual shield. A fun weapon for this build could be great stars, for any non summon places.
Once I found out that the only merchant who has any relevance as far as quests or anything else goes is Kalé, I just kill them all. The massive convenience gain of having all the vendor stocks in the game at Roundtable is wild
golden land is a crazy ash of war, if you have high faith it does thousands of damage and a ton of poise damage, and inherits aux/on-hit effects from weapons, one of my favorite skills for sure.
Poise damage NEVER scales with ANY stat that you have. So if it deals tons of poise damage on high faith, so it does on low faith, as long as you meet the requirement.
since it was talked about: the eclipse shotel might surprise you by how mid it is, which is head and shoulders better than how most people consider it. i think people look at it and go "lol deathblight," but both parts of the aow _do_ actually deal holy damage, so the deathblight is really more of a cherry on top for pvp it's a perfectly functional split damage holy curved sword. hell, probably one of the better ones even, what with not having to deal with sacred affinity tanking its dex scaling and physical damage. truly, a high honor like none other
After watching this video i decided to do a run with Great mace + cragblade + stormhawk Deenh (+30% stagger) and it's insanely good. Just finished godrick in less than 30 seconds. Beginning of phase 2 I stunned him with 1 jump r2 while he was doing the fire breath and killed him on the crit. Strength is so much better than Dex it's not even close.
From what I remember, the Eclipse Shotel is pretty good in pvp if you run two of em and manage to buff up. The weapon art locks the character's movement for a while tho, so a lot of people will just swing on you lol. Oroboro made a build on em near the beginning of the game's lifecycle, so idk if they were touched in the patch history
I deadass loved using the grafted great sword. The grafted greatsword (I call it the GOT Sword) looked so cool and does just an absurd amount of damage. I
Took Gino 2 years to beat this game as the mindless bonk machine I have always been, clearly this means I am better at the game than the best Souls player (please don't look at my 300 attempts over 4 days at the limgrave tree spirit, let me have it)
Not sure if or how it would work or if it would work, but I just got done watching an anime called "I put all my stats into defense so I won't get hurt." Anime was literally as it says. Fun 24 episodes, wondering if defense only run would be plausible
I'm still in my first play through and I haven't faced Melanie, the elden beast or the banished night yet. So slow I NEVER get bored of playing yet. The only thing I hate is when a least dangerous enemy kills me.
I did my first ED playthough with STR colossal weapons (around 220hs). Boy did I have a bad time before they fixed the recovery frames and animation speeds. It was so enfuriating that whenever you R1, any enemy would recover before you would finish the attack animation. You'd always trade DMG. It was so freaking annoying. I ended up using DEX/ARC and breeze through the game on my PC playthrough right after. They took like a month to start fixing STR builds.

just what i was lookin for
16:11 the rust status effect would be lockjaw and turn off the bosses dialogue for the rest of the fight
The fight against the Scion at the start was the cleanest fight i have ever seen
The most satisfying part of using colossal weapons is saying “bonk” each time you hit something
@ginomachino you should leave a pinned comment of your regional to do lists for these build videos. That would be dope so people could take similar approaches.
FYI i've begun creating my own
i fucking love with how much power the NPC's go down with the giant crusher, you basically pulverize them, years of training to get demolished by a half naked chick with a huge hammer
That Godrick fight was ridiculous 😂
I like to imagine Maliketh saying "I will not have it stolen from me again." is not referring to the Black Knife Assasins, but every other challenge run up to this point where he gets his ass whooped-
My buddy and I found that if you have 1 person (and mimic) running 2 colossal weapons and jump attacking, and another running phantom slash with mimic, the amount of attacks per second perma stun Melania to the point she cannot leave the ground. The most hilarious fight I have ever done in elden ring and I will never do anything else to kill her anymore lol.
You should make a guide on the location of all the somber smithing stones, because all the other ones are outdated

Gino making this game look like you can change to easy mood. Gino really is the goat
(almost) every boss: I have killed hundreds before you how else could this be different
Gino: hehe BONK
i love watching him play a regular strength playthru
How u can have actual have commentary while playing elden ring is a real talent
I'm ready for the all support build. Uses spirits of all types, I enjoy Great shield soldiers. Golden vow, erdtree blessing, Various buffs, rally standard, icon shield, deathbed dress, royal remains in other slots, mohgs rune, old lord talisman, erdtree +2, dragoncrest greatshield, ritual shield. A fun weapon for this build could be great stars, for any non summon places.

bro did you know with the great club. You can put black flame on it and then every hit with Golden Land will proc black flame :)
For real?
@@kiwialforde9913 really :)
shhh dont let from hear this
I’m kind of surprised Gino didn’t make his character look buff as fuck for this run, considering!
Hey Gino, love your content. Have you ever thought about doing a run by only using "spirit ashes?"
Even lvl 10 spirit ashes wouldn't be able to kill most of the bosses is the issue
The actual wine cellar is downstairs where you get Hookclaws. And there’s one axe guy roaming there.
8:40 Grandpa Margie forgot what he was attacking for
Once I found out that the only merchant who has any relevance as far as quests or anything else goes is Kalé, I just kill them all. The massive convenience gain of having all the vendor stocks in the game at Roundtable is wild
Can't wait for the vigor only run.
golden land is a crazy ash of war, if you have high faith it does thousands of damage and a ton of poise damage, and inherits aux/on-hit effects from weapons, one of my favorite skills for sure.
Poise damage NEVER scales with ANY stat that you have. So if it deals tons of poise damage on high faith, so it does on low faith, as long as you meet the requirement.
@@Rumcajs981 im just saying it does a bunch of scaling damage then the full combo does a bunch of poise damage, worded it badly
I love the fact that every time he fights Rykard he has something new to say about how bad he is
As a STR enjoyer, I had big expectations for this run and I'm not disappointed 😂
since it was talked about: the eclipse shotel might surprise you by how mid it is, which is head and shoulders better than how most people consider it. i think people look at it and go "lol deathblight," but both parts of the aow _do_ actually deal holy damage, so the deathblight is really more of a cherry on top for pvp
it's a perfectly functional split damage holy curved sword. hell, probably one of the better ones even, what with not having to deal with sacred affinity tanking its dex scaling and physical damage. truly, a high honor like none other
Between you, Tulok, Cloud, and Bushy, you guys are my favorite eldentubers
“That does a lot of damage”. Who knew hitting someone in the head with a hammer hurt 25:39
Love your videos and every time I watch through your videos for example the master run I am just impressed. Keep going.
“Oh she likes it dude” is a wild thing to say
I HAVE A CRAZY VIDEO IDEA! NO HIT RUN BUT YOU HAVE TAUNTERS TONGUE ACTIVATED THE WHOLE TIME. Or just somethin fun with the tongue active
12:00
Wine is stored in the balls
I think that's blood
The misbegotten pulled a “cool move, mind if I use it?”
Faith/INT users: _taking 3 business days to cast a spell_
STR users, mid-jump: "Admirable little spells, funny magic man."
Absolute legend. I love every video you drop. I just dont have time during normal stream times so I love the long content
I learn new things about Fromsoft games everytime I watch this.
I did not know Yhorm was immune to fire
the ease with which you evade waterfowl is incomprehensible
I'm subscribed but don't watch the videos to balance out those pesky non subscribed viewers 👍
Thank you, watched it for you it's good

1:17:21 “your merciless glutes”
After watching this video i decided to do a run with Great mace + cragblade + stormhawk Deenh (+30% stagger) and it's insanely good. Just finished godrick in less than 30 seconds. Beginning of phase 2 I stunned him with 1 jump r2 while he was doing the fire breath and killed him on the crit. Strength is so much better than Dex it's not even close.
wouldn't be a gino video without the most horrendous takes on soulsgames. love it
it's objectively wrong to call an opinion horrendous
From what I remember, the Eclipse Shotel is pretty good in pvp if you run two of em and manage to buff up. The weapon art locks the character's movement for a while tho, so a lot of people will just swing on you lol. Oroboro made a build on em near the beginning of the game's lifecycle, so idk if they were touched in the patch history
so all of those explosive barrels actually have an image of a wine bottle on top of them
dude is genuinely so wholesome
I think a one weapon per boss run would be pretty cool to see
Imagine being one of the most powerful being in the lands just to get dunked on by some near naked lunatic holding a anchor and big axe
8:43 Margit delayed so much that he forgot to attack bruh
Keep it up man. Just recently got into the game but pretty much found you right away, and love all your stuff
Giant's Hunt wrecks Melenia and is hilarious on NPCs. Underappreciated IMO.
When life gives you lemons you ooga booga
I love region-locked runs. This brings diversity and flavour to the playthrough. Thanks
The stomp sweep was my favorite on the Cathedral Knight greatsword
Fun fact. Some wines are aged in old bourbon barrels depending on the flavor they want.
Gino asking who used the Giant Crusher in lore hurt my soul.
Morgot tries to smacks you with it all the time.
I deadass loved using the grafted great sword. The grafted greatsword (I call it the GOT Sword) looked so cool and does just an absurd amount of damage. I
Took Gino 2 years to beat this game as the mindless bonk machine I have always been, clearly this means I am better at the game than the best Souls player (please don't look at my 300 attempts over 4 days at the limgrave tree spirit, let me have it)
Not sure if or how it would work or if it would work, but I just got done watching an anime called "I put all my stats into defense so I won't get hurt."
Anime was literally as it says. Fun 24 episodes, wondering if defense only run would be plausible
I'm still in my first play through and I haven't faced Melanie, the elden beast or the banished night yet. So slow I NEVER get bored of playing yet. The only thing I hate is when a least dangerous enemy kills me.
I did my first ED playthough with STR colossal weapons (around 220hs). Boy did I have a bad time before they fixed the recovery frames and animation speeds. It was so enfuriating that whenever you R1, any enemy would recover before you would finish the attack animation. You'd always trade DMG. It was so freaking annoying.
I ended up using DEX/ARC and breeze through the game on my PC playthrough right after. They took like a month to start fixing STR builds.
Tetanus reduces vigor by 10 and all status resistances by 100
Man will never remember the arcane only run
i love the anchor. my first DLC playthrough was starfist for all bosses + anchor for consort.
I’m so happy I already pre ordered the new dlc I can’t wait to play. I love your content Gino keep up the good work
You should a bingo challenge run. It should be community vote for each different column
