Just scribed this is a useful video and I just got the game. But would you rec commend getting the sword and the staff along with the spells before fighting margit?

"Try to ignore the enemies"
Ah yes, someone finally familiar with my play style
The trick is to see them, not as enemies, but opportunities. This outlook has gotten me far in life - I've not been stabbed half as many times since😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Run bitch run
@@DodgyDaveGTX yep… I’m a coward in early game with games like this until I KNOW I can breeze by killing them easily lol
Anyone who is good at soulsborne games knows not to engage enemies without a purpose.
This is hands-down the most useful Mage build video on the entire web and I say this after seeing almost every video out there that is trying to cover this topic.
yes, best
Facts
You‘re right
I agree
Best mage video build. I got question. What is the best body armour and suit that astrologer can use? Does it matter?

10:25ish, you get memory stones from twin maiden husks at round table hold, and also the first main boss after Godrick
11:10 Intelligence knot crystal tear
To beginners, this guide might look easy because its 13mins long. Let me tell you, its gonna take you hours😂 But overall, its the best to actually be OP
Lol i will try and get them after the vid and i don't mind it taking me hours thats the best part of it lol
Im 12 hours in and im still havent got all of them yet. The lazuli sword took me 30 times to redo to get it. They just wont drop the sword for me. I kept getting the robe. BUT! Im pretty much op now. For a beginner
I don't think it's too bad i did actually do most of this last night and it did take hours but part of that was testing my dmg on bosses o shouldn't be beating the dmg is really good
I learned my lesson long ago 🤣 every minute is one hour rt
i was trying to find a good video for my friend so im just gonna give him most of the stuff anyways lol

I think I’m in love with you Mr. K
A lot more Elden Ring content that you do not want to miss is on the way so don't forget to hit yer man up with a subscription!!
I keep killing the three stone golems however they are not dropping the sword to u know the problem?
I haven't gotten the sword yet either. Will the guards still be there if I go beat the boss first?
Subscribed and looking forward to more helpful/instructional Elden Ring content!
You called the game Elder ring in the beginning lol
What sword are you using? I can't use that slicer spell with my current one.
Just FYI, the spell vendor at waypoint ruins is behind the pumpkin head boss. Kill the boss first before you can get to her.
lol yea I didn’t know this and had to learn the hard way, didn’t take to long tho
@thesheepjones9352 yeah same 😅😅
@@thesheepjones9352you could've ran past him
@@jakobkeithley5467 You can't
Thank you for this🙏🏾
Before you get the sword drop, note there is a Golden Seed next to the wolf on the left outside of the building with the giant and statues :)
U may not see this cause it’s been over a year but thank you🙏
Thx pal
i will try to remember this
For people coming back like me, a summary:
- Pick Golden Seed or Crimson Amber Medallion
- Stats priority: INT (>70) > MIND > VIGOR
- Buy Carian Slicer (for melee range) and Glintblade Phalanx (for some situations) from Sorceress Sellen (for the latter you could also get its AoW variant from Rogier's Rapier)
- Meteorite Staff @5:33 (S scaling with INT)
- Rock Sling Spell @6:48 (enhanced by the Meteorite Staff)
- Get the Lone Wolves Ashes (I would also suggest another tanky summon for slower enemies, like Lhutel the Headless)
- Go to Main Caria Manor Gate, farm enemies for a Lazuli Glintstone Sword
- Beat Loretta for the Loretta's Greatbow Spell
- Get both spells (13k Runes total) from the turtle at Church of Vows @9:20
- Get Memory Slots: 1 from Ranni's Rise @10:00 at the top of the tower; 1 from the quest at Oridys's Rise @10:09; 1 from the Converted Tower @10:18; 1 after killing the boss from Raya Lucaria Academy; and 1 from the Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable.
- Get the Flask of WP and fill it by mixing the stuff shown @10:59
- Allocate more FP flasks than HP ones (I usually go with 2 or 3 HP ones, but decent players may go with no more than 1); also if you are missing Golden Seeds, I'd suggest to just roam for a bit at the top of the map (after the Dectus lift and into the capital) and you will find golden trees with more than one seed below
- Tune your spirits with Roderika
I'm still missing where to find good gear (all of the merchants I have found sell mostly heavy armor!), but thank you! Insta-subscribed :)
thanks for the overview, regarding gear I will cover it in part 2 :)
You're awesome
@@NizarGG Hi Nizar, from starting my character to getting the above done, what average play time will i require? :)
@@NizarGG You'r the man !!!! Thank you ! i was about to quit this game because of my Astrologer, you give me hope again, can't wait for the gear stuff video
Honestly that staff isnt that great the spell its for is wildly inaccurate vs anthing smaller then a literal mountain. The staff that upgrades all the moves that start with the Carian is far more useful earily. It is also in an area you can grab earily with some creative dodging and ignoring everything.
After you get the Meteorite staff and the spell he mentioned go to Summonwater Village! The spell melts the boat boss super fast and you get a better summon than the wolves. The skeletons you summon will reassemble if they die making them MUCH tankier than the wolves in most situations. Thanks Nizar for the best guide out there! ♥
Thanks for this! Giving it a try now.
Rock spell seems only useful against really slow targets... and I mean *really* slow.
I've stood in short range of a target and cast the spell only to have the balls wander off to hit walls, the floor, and pretty much behind the target, but NOT THE TARGET which was standing right in front of me (snuck up behind it). OFC they turned around and hit me five times for bleed the moment the spell wandered by.
what spell are u talking about that melts
I actually used the skeletons last night to go back and defeat tree sentinel, got him on my second attempt
@@cantseai Rock Sling
This guide is amazing. I've watched at least 5 guides for mage and none of them have said anything about memory slots, good sorceries or secondary slot so thank you
3:08 Glintstone Stars is meant for moving targets or when your character is moving, then it's very effective. Enemies seem to be baffled because they get hit from another direction than from where they see you.
This was so helpful i spend hours doing these tasks and feel so OP now. Thanks a lot!

Don't miss out on it! It's another way to make you stronger/give you better experiences in this great game.
If i beat thr game on my first charactet.. do i need to make a new character to have a mage? Or do i just reset my tank and make him a mage?
Will there be a part 2 of this?

"Just ignore the enemies here...."
GIANT HAND GRABS AND SQUEEZES THE LIFE OUTA ME.
lol bro
This guide was great to stumble upon because it gave me some good starting objectives. Now I've got a good staff, sword, 5 spell slots, and confident to just sorta explore on my own now.
how many of these things mentioned in the vid, you are able to do from the very start ?
I totally agree.. maybe it's my fault for not being patient, but the game wasn't that fun to me at first because I didn't really feel any sense of direction or objective, but this actually gave me some direction and then I enjoyed it a lot more
@keny8892 late response but to anyone else wondering. I can't remember specifically, but once you get a few spells going it's easy to get the meteorite staff and rock spell. maybe 2 hours of playing at most. once u have those 2 the game is easy for 15+hours. Because once you hit the first castle, there are big enemies you can sit in tunnels and spam kill for huge exp.
the ONLY downside to this build, is there are quite a few bosses you're always close up too. Where a my greatsword build kills a boss in under 60seconds. my mage might take 2 to 5minutes because you're always needing to dodge everything and make space to cast any big dmg spell. And getting 3 seconds to cast is harder said than done.
Thank you so much for this guide. I’m new to souls games and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. I ended up finding the crystal tunnel before watching this and passed up the Meteorite staff and rock sling spell. You saved the game for me! I beat Margit the fell omen on the 4th try. Can’t stop playing now!
Same! After 2nd try I managed to kill him.
Can i find the meteorire staff in tge starting area? Cause i dont think i have seen that place anywhere
I've got it first try without wolves, just burte force with meteorite staff and rock slinger
3rd try, killed Margit....and on the 2nd try killed godrik . Magee are terrifyingly OP
This was the guide that finally unstuck my character. Had 90% of the same build but the combo of the Meteorite Staff with Rock Sling was the final piece. Thanks!
Absolutely a fantastic guide for the mage, the best guide by far i have watched also your content is very enjoyable and thanks for all the info I will put it to good use :)
It is helpful for beginners…however I’m kind of worried.. I just picked up all these extra spells (I’ve had rock sling since the beginning) in hopes that I’ll find a more damaging one…and still…my rock sling does more damage than all of them. Rock sling is still more effective, stronger, and can cast faster than lorettas at its full charge. I’m baffled… rock sling was the first spell I learned.. when the hell am I Gunna get a video of spells you can’t pick up the second you start the game
damn dude, i wish i found this video weeks ago. the staff, gravity spells alone, that i had totally missed, are absolutely OWNING these enemies. Massive thanks so far, and i haven't even finished video yet.
This video is absolutely AMAZING, I've seen a lot of videos on how to make the mage build but they never tell u locations and where to exactly get stuff. Love this video man I cannot thank you enough.
Because they don't want to spoil the game for you. He's is also forgetting something or don't you have to fight a mini boss to get to the lady selling the spells or ??

I love this build! Thanks for this video. I tried making other builds and messed them up. Restarted the game 4 times...but this is what Ive been looking for! Thank you!
*slow clap* well.freakin’.done. This guide is pure value concentrated and flawlessly stitched together. Incredible editing. Thanks a lot for this helpful guide.
This is my first souls experience, and so far this has helped me start building up my confidence with the game. Being able to have such a high damage combo from the gravity staff and throw rock has let me get my feet wet and i've been having a blast. Thanks for the guide!
Same here! Bosses I see that would normally take 5-10 minutes to kill using the starter weapons, I’m killing within a minute or so! 😂

Man. I just love your videos!
Every single one that I watch i not only learn a lot but also have too much fun!
Congrats!!!
/clap!
wow just praise and highest honor to you for posting this masterpiece of a video. It’s helped me tremendously
I just want to say thank you. I have been trying to beat Loretta for a few days now and your guide helped me do it in 2 tries.
I had trouble with Loretta too smh
I've been hopping around the mage guides on youtube, this is absolutely the best video for beginners! Thanks mate
I appreciate the time you took to make this video! I ended up with a melee character because i wasnt getting much magic stuff just playing casually. My 2nd play-through i will definitely try a mage build and will refer to this video!
At around 2:40 when he was saying how Sellen’s starting spells suck, he subtly turned the spell icons in the background from blue to red just to emphasize “don’t buy”. Top notch production as well as very useful, well presented information. How come I never found this channel before?
This is the first useful guide for a mage build. And if watched a few already. Thanks.
Use the determination art of war on a main hand weapon while holding staff In offhand. As long as you don’t swing with your main hand, your spells will do %60 extra damage for 10-15 seconds duration of the ash. Amazing to use with magic boosting mix physics on boss fights. Literally melts them in a second
Awesome but where and how do you mix this phyhsic flask?
@@michaelespinosa9168 Determination art of war is a ash you get and then apply to your weapon
I’m curious as to where you get the crystals to boost magic
I'm an absolute noob a new player to the souls game. Where do I get art of war?
@@genises200 NE of agheal lake in limgrave, there will be a bridge. On the east side of the bridge is a white scarab pushing around a ball. Kill it and it will drop determination. If it disappears before you kill it, fast travel to closest mark of grace, then go back and it will appear again
I just wanna say that this has been so helpful for me! When I started I had never played a souls game before and I had no idea what I was doing!! With your help I just killed Radahn on my second attempt!! Great video!!
great vid on the spells brother. it helped me a ton
Thanks for this wonderful guide. Been wanting a good way to start a magic class and by the look of it, it is worth doing.
Thanks so much, was having a hard time getting solid info on a mage build, this is my first souls game and I want to so it right, this video was extremely helpful, these spells have changed my game! Thanks again 👍👍👍
Been watching several Mage beginner guide videos. This is the best, especially spells 🔥💯👍🏻 Subbed! Thank you.
Most definitely one of the most helpful guides I’ve seen yet this method was gamechanging for me
You just earned a subscriber. Ive been racking my brain trying to decide on a build and you convinced me to start over from a pure strength build lol.
Same here bro, got sick to death of close combat, mage looks 1000% more fun tbh..
Haha same.
Facts I was playing Confessor but it’s too much work 💀
Bruh i started as the wretch 😂 but ill take the easy option anyday… especially with a from software game.
dude do not play this build, will ruin the game, sorcery in elden ring is intended for 12 yr olds that could not beat the game otherwise
Literally everything I was looking for. No BS just right to the point with great explanations. Thanks, my dude!!
Whoaaa I’ve never played a souls-like game before and when I started was completely overwhelmed but this is a massive help!
Great video. I followed your recommendations and I’m having a very fun time with my mage. I don’t even use the pebble spell anymore, so many other great spells to choose from. Thanks very much.
super helpful info, you have a gift my man. can't wait for more content on when to go where and get what, i am new to soulsborne and knowing when not to engage helps make the game feel less like I am the worst gamer ever
Concise and well made with map locations delivered in manner that the viewer can follow along too. Thank you and please keep this format!
Dude, thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm looking forward to building out my mage!!!
Got the game a week ago. 50 hours in, level 73, and have made more progress than I thought would have been possible. Thanks for the concise info!
The swords seem to last indefinitely and you can keep them while resting at grace. Scholar's Armament also does not vanish at grace. So, you can cast the phalanx, rest to fill FP, then leave.
Great guide. Cant wait to try this out. Been feeling weak cause all i had was a starter staff and glint stone pebble
Nice guide, man. Exactly what I've been looking for. I'm struggling to beat so enemies and I'm sure this guide will help me a lot.
It helped me for sure! Just don't be afraid to use your wolf or imp summons and the mage summons to help distract Margit.
Thanks so much for all these suggestions! You have made playing Elden Ring much more enjoyable for me. I especially want to thank you for keeping the spoilers to a minimum. Looking forward to your midgame suggestions but now I'm off the the starting line to do some of the main story. Best, Stu
MUST READ!!!Please get this sword if you like doing both melee and magic!!!The best magic infused straight sword with low stat requirements is the Carian Knight’s Sword (10s10d18int). Located just south of the NORTHERN LIURNIA LAKE SHORE site of grace on the west side of the lake on the skinny road on the edge of the map. It’s in one of those giant drawn carriages traveling up the road, I didn’t need to kill or stop those giants to get it either, I know for some of them they need to stop pulling to open the chest, maybe it was glitched, but worth a shot. I leveled it up to +4, you can buy all the upgrades, somber smithing stones, from Iji the blacksmith. He’s at the next closest site of grace to the north, ROAD TO THE MANOR. This weapon out damages my +6 rapier, +6 uchi, and + 6 flail at 30dex/30int. It’s a beast. Also has one of the coolest ashes of war Carian Grandeur. It’s a giant overhead magic sword slam that you can charge up 3 levels to create a huuuuge sword. Pretty cool. Also GET THE BEAST REPELLENT TORCH. Rats, animals, and beasts do NOT attack you when you are carrying it, only if you attack them first. Sold at the Isolated Merchant’s Shack in Dragonborrow. Just don’t go at night, you’ll die, almost instantly, don’t want to spoil it, but yea wasn’t good. The site of grace is close to the northern coast of Dragonborrow just southeast of a little peninsula east of the minor Erdtree Caelid. You can buy it from him for a couple thousand runes. It’s a must have. Also did you know you can still sprint while crouching? I mean it’s not like you’re going fast, but it’s at least double the regular crouch walking speed.
Legend was having a nightmare for drops
Ok well Im starting my mage character over again from scratch and gonna do this ty for the guide ur amazing keep it up bro
Great video, spend my whole day accomplishing this checklist. Very helpful.
This has reassured my want to continue playing my mage build. I have it pretty high considering I’ve only been playing it for an hour. I was just struggling to find new spells that are better
This video saved me from starting again as other class, the first spell was getting boring
Quick Tip: The best summons are as follows
1) Black Knife Tiche - Very fast, dodges, hits very quickly, has magic ranged attacks, magic attacks inflict a DoT that deals massive damage. Defeat the boss in Ringleader's Evergaol in Liurnia of the Lakes. If you want something dead, summon Tiche. As long as you provide a distraction for her she can kill literally anything in short order. Her damage output is frankly a little terrifying and might make you envious. Her lethality isn't surprising seeing as she's one of the people who killed Godwyn in the backstory.
2) Fanged Imp Ashes - 2 summons, Fast, aggressive, applies Bleed status, glass cannons. Keepsake or bought from Isolated Merchant Raya Lucaria. Probably the biggest surprise on this little list, the imps are vicious little buggers. They are extremely fast and never really stop attacking. While they hit pretty hard the biggest draw is that the deal Bleed build up. Lots of it. Anything that's vulnerable to bleed they can kill in very short order even quicker then Tiche in some cases, but they die fast too.
3) Dungeater Puppet- 1 summon, Super tough, has a roar that debuffs enemy defense (even bosses) and buffs his damage, has a ranged attack with high tracking, deals bleed. Use Seluvis's Potion on the Dung Eater and bringing him 5 Starlight shards. My pick for replacing the Mimic post nerf. I think I might of actually been sleeping on this one as I didn't get it in my Spirit only run. He hits hard, nerfs enemies, and deals bleed along with being surprisingly tough. Bonus: you get to kill Dungeater in the worst way possible. What's not to love? Might actually be my #2 pick, but I need to use him more to be sure.
4) Lhutel the Headless - Extremely tough, blocks, applies Death status, Teleports, can solo most bosses but slower then 1-3. Found in the Tombsward Catacombs in the Weeping Peninsula so very early game. The tankiest summon in the game, between her hp, shield and teleporting all over you're more likely to die then she is. She does still deal solid damage just not as much as #1&2.
5) Greatshield Soldiers - 5 summons, Tough, Blocks, deals almost no damage, draws agro, great distraction. Found in Nokron, Eternal City. Pretty much a cheaper to summon discount Lhutel. Doesn't deal hardly any damage (though they can mob some slower bosses), but they are extremely durable. Good distraction for a ranged character to hide behind.
Edit: Was written without any order in mind, but rearranged them to be in what I feel is their order of effectiveness.
Edit 2: Dropped Mimic off the top 5. It's still decent, but it's not nearly as good as it was before. Not even in my top 10 now.
Thanks for this!!
Thank you for this. I heard about those fanged imp ashes and was thinking of starting with that instead of golden seed. What do you think?
@@TheEru88 They are _nasty_ little shits. I've watched mine rip several bosses apart in a under a minute. Most notably I'll sometimes summon them for dual boss fights and let them mob one of the bosses while I deal with the other. More often then not they actually kill their target then come help me finish off mine. It's kind of frightening.
I've never actually used them as a Keepsake though, that extra golden seed is just too good if you ask me, so I'm not sure how well they preform without upgrades. Once you hit the castle and get the ability to power up the spirits they will be able to help you kill most things, notably they'd probably shred Godrick like paper.
@@TheEru88 I picked them on my bandit who’s a bleed build. Using the imps with Reduvia dagger and a buffed up great dagger on many bosses has melted them.
@@dragoon3219 So I finally started my Journey yesterday had a good 5 hours and did went with Fanged Imps. They have been awesome for me, would choose them again over golden seed.
Cause I had them I tried to get the used of spirit animals as soon as possible and every big fight was way easier with them.
Now got Meteorite staff with Rock Sling, Carrier Slicer and Arc to finish them off. Tonight's Journey will be go North West, buy the Carian Greatsword from the big turtle then to Costa Manor. Some big fights and fun will happened til I get there.
Hey man, just wanna say huge thanks for the vid.
I plan on doing mage build for my second run but didn't want to grind like I did for my first.
This is going to save a lot of time for sure
Thanks, this video is great. I've only ever used Sword and Board in souls games so I just started ER today and decided to make a sorcerer. I'm gonna go and hunt all this gear down now. Thanks again 🙌
I recommend also putting a few more points into endurance so you can chain more spells without running out of stamina
Beat guide out there so far. Thats worth a sub 👌🏾
Awesome guide! I just finished my first playthrough yesterday as a Samurai with Strength build. But I always wanted to try out a mage build. Thank you!
10/10 video my friend, this is by far EXACTLY what i was looking for. Keep up the awesome work!!
Great puremage guide, If anyone is like me and rolling spellblade though Id suggest grabbing the Carian Knights sword for any new spellblade builds, you can run to where its at and loot it right from the start of the game making it like the best spellblade melee weapon to get right away, combine that with meteorite staff and your golden. That being said id also check out the carian knights armor too as you can also get the full set with no combat right from the start.
BEST Astrologer guide, I didn’t know about a lot of these spells
I cant suggest carian slicer enough for early game, its damage is crazy and its fp cost is crazy small. Also rock slling, is super good (if using meteorite staff especially to boost its damage) it tears bigger sized bosses apart because none of the 3 projectiles can miss a truck sized enemy.
@@ZedNull. I love it but it needs A LOT of positioning because if the rocks hit anything in the way before the enemy they disappear.
nobody is saying that mage is weak or anything like that.... instead people are saying that elder ring is only made for mages....melee classes are made to suck in this game.. even the best one
handed sword in the game needs intelligence and faith ..... stats. This game right now only favors mages.
This f game is made for spell casters classes and i find thisa huge slap in the face from the developers ... why even show in game trailer warriors classes witrh armor, if the game is made only for mages... the wepons everything is for mages.
if you want to play a strength class then forget powerful weapons or defence...
@@tanelviil9149 I see your point but out of all the people I know who play this game, streamers, and youtubers I’ve seen, Only like 3 played mage, everyone else I watched or knew, played as a warrior, I think you only looking at how good mate is compared to physical instead of just focused on how good physical can be on its own
@@AntagonistVR No my point is that all the best wepons in the game need MAGE CLASS stats in order to equip them.
Do you know what this means ?
It means that a warrior who doesn't want intelligence stats or faith stats ... needs to invest in those if the warrior wants to equip a Katana or the best one handed sword in the game.
And even 2 handed swords need dexterity.
But if you play for example a huge armor class , shield, heavy armor and weapon... then stats like dexterity and intelligence are a waste, but you have to take them if you want to equip the better weapons... do you get my point now ???
In short warriors have to sacrifice some leveling stats to INTELLIGENCE, FAITH or DEXTERITY ...
while a MAGE class doesn't have to, because intelligence, faith... stats like that are already useful to a mage.
Example the best one handed sword in the game needs 24 intelligence and 24 faith stats if you want to equip it.
But if I play a warrior tank class with a shield then ... leveling intelligence to 24 and faith to 24 is already a HUGE WASTE... because i need stats in Strength, and Endurance and Vigor to make the tank even work.
.... in short the game is not balanced... it favors mage based game play and hopping around ---- and not much shield and block based game play ...
Love this guide! Well done video and will definitely try this build. 👍
Awesome work dude, thank you so much for all this effort you put in this video 👍🏻
Watching videos like this and it’s getting me more interested in getting the game now
Best mage guide out there! Very helpful!!
This and the follow up are really helpful. My friend tried to talk me out of starting the game as a mage, and while I've definitely run into issues (like running out of FP and flask uses midway through exploring Stormveil Castle) this guide has really set me up to feel solid. I'm still under level 40 but I've gotten to Raya Lucaria and passed the first boss, so progress is swift!
Can't get passed the knight boss, my rock slings Don't have as much homing as his does in the vid-
Of all the videos I watched, this was the best! If only I had seen it when I started! Just beat godrick my first try thanks to this!
Awesome. Thank you so much! I’m going to start the game today and since I got 2 kids and not much time I need something That is very strong to get through and see the whole game. Thanks a lot!
Me too ✌️
I was against int built because I thought it was throwing little magic missiles, this video has truly opened my eyes, I was locked in the second I saw a giant magic sword
Sick videos, thx for all the informations man ! Really useful when starting the game with a mage.
Having so much fun following your guide, thanks!
this is THE BEST mage guide on youtube. direct and great tips. amazing. you saved me from getting bored of mage on such a great game. 30 hours into it and using plinstone and carrion slicer since start. wth demi god staff.
Check out carian knight armor set if you need a good armor set early for a mage, Meteorite staff (gives bonus damage to gravity spells/cannot be upgraded) is a lot better then demi-human witch queen staff for early game, until you have witch queen upgraded a ton to surpass it. combine it with rock sling (its a gravity spell) is how i killed 90% of all bigger sized bosses early-mid game it hits like a tank and knocks most things to the ground in a few casts.
Most dont know it but there ar actualy more than 25 spells in the game
I've been trying to build a battle mage with the prisoner, struggled with my specs but in the end turned out to be perfect for this build. Going to upgrade my magic as I watch.
I did prisoner too! Better way imo and cooler looking character! Starts you off with the magic glintblade
I like how this 13 minute guide has taken me 20 hours to get through in game.
I get taking a few hours to do this but 20?
Thank you, just thank you 🙏, my first souls game and this is one of the best guides out there
Best mage guide I’ve seen, can’t wait for the late game build
Dude great guide, loving my build so far
Holy poop so much info in such a short video. This is great information. Thank you!
omg thank you. this build was amazing. This is my first game of this type i tried and i wanted a mage class. This helped alot thank you :D
Missed Rock fling when I originally picked up my meteorite staff. Making my way to 52 int to swap out of the meteorite staff as it’s still my best one. Used it quite effectively to body a boss I was struggling with. Moonveil as a weapon is probably gonna be best in slot for any mage. The weapon arts staggers bosses so fast and just does a shit ton of damage. Especially since it’s magic damage you can buff it with your flask and Terra spell for even more damage

Finally, a useful build video. Playing mage was so lackluster up until now. Thank you!
Thank you for this video, it has allowed me to actually enjoy this game how I want to.
My goodness what a great video. You have a new subscriber in me man. Thank you so much
glinstone arc def helps with these mini bosses that move quick, much harder for them to dodge it. Also the Crystal sword is great and scaled with INT as well, and much easier to get as its just on a body you can loot, plus looks awesome. Great video, i need to get that bow!
Try the carian knights sword, you can just loot it from a chest if you run there right at the start of the game as well, with some artful dodging i mean and is a better sword for a "spellblade" build. Also is has a very cool but ultimately kind of useless skill on it called Carian grandeur where it turns into a giant spectral greatsword for a big ground slam attack.
@@ZedNull. carian grandeur is pretty good. I've knocked down some pretty big knights using it.
Excellent guide, a must watch for anyone thinking about playing a mage build in Elden Ring.
Can I follow this guide and just go to all these locations right away when I start the game or do I need to progress thru the story
Im coming back here to seek my master guidance before DLC 🕵♂️
Same here
dude this is so well made. Thank you so helpful
you can get a 3rd memory slot very early on at oridys's rise all you have to do is a simple puzzle you dont even have to really fight anyone once you open the door to the tower just run up and its on the second floor very easy to get and helps a ton starting out
I just downloaded elden ring, killed the bloodhound knight guy and thats it, where is that tower?
@@LourençoRodrigo-s3b u dont needa go to the tower u can js buy a memory slot from the house table thingy amd buy it a memory stone for 3k runes pretty easy
@@killua6101 I want more tho
I'm surprised you did not mention the second scroll right around the back of stormveil. You can run and grab it super easy and it gives you great glintstone shard. Overall super great guide thanks man!
not only was this video well done it was well spoken with clear instructions and tips well done sir
Those new spells are a lifesaver. I found that academy scroll first and it had some okay additions but I cannot believe I missed that other text. At least the Swift Glintstone Shard spell I had been spamming was fast enough to carry me. Gonna grab that Meteorite Staff next!
creo que empezare a jugar como mago, muchas gracias por todo tu esfuerzo y trabajo amigo Nizar GG!!!
finally, an actually useful guide
Loved the video, just stated a new character, and I'm going to try sorcery this time. thx bro
Probably the best video regarding how to buildup a better build than even some I've seem for like DS3
