I believe that massive poise damage is because the projectile and the sword both have poise damage, so point blanking any enemy counts as a double hit. I remember when i was using it, it took 4 projectiles to stagger dts but in this video he staggered in 2. The only difference being that you hit him with both sword and projectile. Hope this helps
@@bad_noob1221 true cuz ritual does increase the projectile and blade dmg but it does require you to be full health which can be hard when you are up close spamming charged heavy attacks
I agree it’s one of the craziest weapons for non pvp -no fp loss for its skill -AMAZING for sorcery builds - frostbite - if enemy is resistant to magic, you can still do damage regardless - scales off of INT I’ve literally ran through most of the game with just this and a regular staff and ran into minimal issues, even in the endgame
Me, who’s developed an interest in Elden Ring from watching Gino: “Maybe I should give Elden Ring a try. The mods look cool!” That was my first mistake and my last. Rykard didn’t let me make any others.
I did, originally, cause it’s a souls boss. However, Rykard is the only (fucking) boss who has consistently killed me *well after* I’ve killed him (with those no-clipping exploding skulls everyone loves.) Killing him with the serpent hunter isn’t a problem anymore, but surviving him AFTER he dies? I think I’d fought him and won 10 times when I wrote this comment originally, and of those 10, at least 3 times he killed me from the grave with those skulls. Well after he had died, cause I’d gotten his great and he’d stopped talking before I died.
There are 2 good things about the DMGS are - 1. After using the AOW, you can spam the projectile attack without having to worry about FP. 2. You can use the jellyfish sheild on the other hand to get an extra damage buff.
I've been really enjoying the addition of the Skyrim music in the videos, it's such a blast from the past and gives me big nostalgia. It also makes for good chill background music
When I got the Ranni ending to 100% the game I knocked radagon out of his flying attack with one of the R2's from this sword, it was so freaking epic, I even got the clip lol. One of my absolute favorite weapons. Amazing video, I was hoping you would use this one!
Dark Moon Greatsword(Funny how it can be also be shortcut into D.M.G.) is of the few legendary weapons that I actually considered deserving of its legendary title.
honestly, i think it's more helpful to think of rarity in this game as, well, rarity. like, uniqueness. because sometimes unique means that no other weapon looks like that one even though it sucks
It makes me wonder though why DMG gets so much love, at the very least acknowledgement for its power. Yet no one seems to talk about Adulas moonblade, which definitely seems to be more powerful in basically every way but stance damage
Yeah it really confuses me how Blasphemous Blade has such a reputation for being OP and yet the devourers scepter which looks similar if not better on paper(the stats) is total dog shit unusable tier. Not that I doubt you or the other people saying this, I just haven’t gotten around to trying either yet. Weird how that works out because I swear it’s not obvious
@@___AVARICE___ but who is the warrior of liurnia? I’ve never heard of this and I tried to google it and nothing came up. So all I can imagine is it’s either something you made up like what a warrior of liurnia would be if they existed. Or it’s a legitimate known character that’s deep enough in the lore that it’s hard to find
@@monhi64 it's my own thing, rocking the gear of the liurnian demigods. Radahns armor, ranni darmoon greatsword, and the blasphemous blade. You bring the power of the liurnian demigods as a warrior against the golden order
I've played extensively with Dark Moon GS and Blasphemous Blade, and they are both great weapons, but I think DMGS is the stronger option all things considered. Blasphemous Blade has the HP recovery, good physical damage scaling for both STR and DEX, and a powerful fire Ash of War (great synergy with buffs like Flame Grant Me Strength), but the wind-up for Taker's Flames is slow and it fires a slow-moving ground-based wave that can't target specific body parts (like a dragon's head) and some enemies/bosses can avoid or dodge outright. Taker's Flames does have some useful knockback and the potential to hit multiple enemies, but it eats up a ton of FP and FTH builds have many other tools to deal fire damage. DMGS has so much going for it. FP efficiency, huge magic damage, the added benefit of Frostbite that deals damage based on max HP and lowers resistances (20% debuff) to make all your other damage numbers go up. It bypasses the need for MND or DEX investment for INT builds since you don't need a lot of FP or spellcasting speed. Its Ash attack has double-hit potential at close range with the blade+projectile. The ranged projectile by itself is fast, can be aimed at weak points high off the ground (and reliably hit them), and does a lot of stance damage. Its magic damage can be buffed by Shard talismans, Godfrey's Icon, Magic Scorpion Charm, Terra Magicka, Magic-Shrouding Tear, and Rogier's Spellblade set (plus the Ash counts as a weapon buff for a Somber weapon that can't otherwise receive one, so it stacks with body and aura buffs). Dark Moon Greatsword is quite simply THE legendary armament.
Gino.... i like your streams... this is all. Thanks alot. Ive got only 500 hours in elden ring but i just cant get enough. Your streams keep me enjoying the game until DLC. Keep up the great work!
I just wish it had a normal R2 animation when not buffed. Also I hate that it doesn’t have the signature moonlight greatsword colors. It would be nice if DLC gave us a classic MLGS. I’d powerstance them for sure
Honestly the only weapons that gave me an easier time with the game were Blasphemous Blade and Malekith’s Black Blade. But they’re all so close in how good they are. That perfect blend of speed and power.
Was literally looking for this last night because I couldn’t remember if I saw it on stream or a video, because I needed the talismans you use but forgot
Blasphemous blade IS probably better, bit not for this type of challenge run and it takes too much time buffing for it to be as viable. My one argument for why it is more powerful though, only fire damage can make use of oil pots. For normal runs it is definitely stronger though cause than you are benefiting from the heal. I dont know how the scaling is in early game though, but blasphemous blade is arguably the strongest weapon in the game for late game. Once you have enough stats for it to benefit from the split scaling it is fucking insane. But it would also be boring to use for a no hit challenge run imo. Youd honestly one hit most stuff with oil pots. Half your fights would be buffing
I wonder if I could get away with power stancing a second Dark Moon Greatsword without running the Ash of War buff on both weapons. Honestly, it'd be nice if both weapons were buffed at the same time if you're using a copy of the same weapon.
I’m pretty sure that the golden order sword or the sword u get from killing the elden beast also has that r2 but i might be wrong havent played in a while
A good video for us peasants would be a “buff video”. Maybe break down how to buff for different categories, feels like the root of why us lessers watch your vid’s. That and the skill/experience.
Wait, but i thought the warrior jar shard/shard of Alexander didn't work with this as the attack comes from charged heavy and not the weapon skill itself..
It’s by rannis castle that side of the map before the the area where the black snitch guy is, there’s some like busted wagons with three jellyfish enemies floating around and it should be there if I remember correctly
This was my main weapon in my first blind playthrough! First Souls game too so I had no idea about frost procs and things of that nature, but the strength of the weapon and built in projectile made things much less of a challenge. Can't wait to watch the video!
Man what is that 8-bit or 16-bit music playing in the background during the intro. I know I know it but can’t place it. Feels like Sonic, Street Fighter, or Mega Man
This makes me wanna do a run with this sword since I've never really used it before. It's so damn powerful, looking forward to my own run. Awesome content like always 🩵
deaths poker or this? also is it actually negative to use as many buffs as possible? like using howl, flame grant me, holed vow terra magica ,tear , jellyfish and stuff or you just don’t feel like getting every buff
Question for y'all: How does he start with this sword? If I recall correctly, the only way to get this is by finishing ranni's questline, no? Is this some kind of 'randomizer function' with a specified seed that contains this weapon or something, or am I missing out on something? Thanks in advance!
Cheat Engine I think Gino will try to get the weapon properly if it's feasible, but for a end of questline weapon like moonlight GS I think he just gives himself one via cheat engine so the run can actually happen that, or NG+, i think the viewers vote
How does he have that sword at the start of a new game? This doesn't look like ng+ since he's still low level... or is this ng+ following a level 1 playthrough or something?

pairs good with charged attacks since only the blade part affected by it
Oh no, even just the beam does ridiculous poise damage. It's crazy.
use the godfrey icon, axe talisman, shard of alexander, and magic scorpion for insane dmg

@@monhi64 because AMB is incredibly good, but less versatile. DMG is far more efficient in MP as well, giving you essentially free AMB for like 15 MP
aint no way this guy beat one of the hardest games ever without getting a hit a single time and ended the run with he most calm "and there we go"
Bro every time
For him this is just tuesday
Thanks. I've been wanting to get a poster of the Elden Ring map, but this one has the best quality and the wood frame just makes it pop for me.
Used this weapon for my Arthas Menethil build. So happy to see it get the love this beast of a weapon deserves.
One of the most used weapons in the game 😂I think it gets quite a bit of love 😂😂
Definitely more use then the fake one in ds2
I can't wait to see you use Death's Poker. It's basically a spell stick, but Marika's _tits_ is it effective.
I’d say request this one
Oh boy, do the blasphemous blade. By far the most op weapon in all of elden ring.
Once you try it, you'll never want another sword again
While I agree it's one of if not the best faith weapon in the game I have used it on a playthrough and its very strong but I found it over rated tbh
Yeah it really confuses me how Blasphemous Blade has such a reputation for being OP and yet the devourers scepter which looks similar if not better on paper(the stats) is total dog shit unusable tier. Not that I doubt you or the other people saying this, I just haven’t gotten around to trying either yet. Weird how that works out because I swear it’s not obvious
For my first ng+ run, i decided to power stance DMG and BB. Having stats all over the place doesnt matter with the two best greatswords lol

I wonder what Gino would be capable of if the player attack speed was increased by 20%
Would you ever consider doing a tier list of weapons based on how hard/easy it was to no hit the game with them?

I beat elden ring my first time with this weapon. So happy to see you playing with it.
Ginamachino once again dropping a banger of a video
First no hit run I watched happen live
Bro casually two hit stunned the Draconic Tree Sentinel lmao. This weapon is crazy.
Best weapon in the game for me

Thanks alot.
Ive got only 500 hours in elden ring but i just cant get enough. Your streams keep me enjoying the game until DLC. Keep up the great work!

That’s the last thing you need this is equal to a shotgun with a switch on it💀💀
Thanks to Gino, I was able to finally beat this game. Praise the sun.

Some don’t stack and he doesn’t want to spend too long on a run so he’ll only pick up enough to make the weapon pretty strong but not at its maximum
