I love this weapon. I've not used it for a bit because I've been playing with other options, exploring ideas etc... One thing I might add, is that the Darkmoon Greatsword is greatly enhanced by using the Jellyfish Greatshield. I tested buffing the damage on the DM GS and this definitely allows to you significantly increase damage output. Particularly when you stack it with other non-cancelling buffs:- ruclips.net/video/pwsYjKNi8Ds/видео.html
I used this as the endgame weapon for a Carian Knight build a week or two ago, and it was incredibly powerful when combined with some of the stance breaking options the Carian kit can bring to play as well. Casting a Carian Phalanx Ash (misericord) before shifting into the DMG and firing off a few blasts often resulted in a stance break before the enemy got to make their first swing, and from there the crit damage and a few additional blasts sealed the fights fast
I pretty much accidentally made this build by doing your pure mage build and then deciding I wanted to use this too, Godfrey icon+Shard of Alexander+Erdtree Favor 2+ Graven Mass while dual wielding with +10 Carian Regal Scepter I even use Ranni's Dark Moon spam as an opener too 😂 I use Night Cavalry armor with Black Hood for aesthetic, I tend to focus on charging spells to get them boosted by Godfrey's icon too except great blade phalanx and Gavel since their poise damage is just too good
Managed to make this build, I’ve only added a 12 in faith for the scarlet rot/poison spell. This build is overwhelmingly powerful, a lot of places where I struggled with the paladin build with this were a piece of cake. Recommend the spells you get from the glintstones masters in the Sellen quest.
Hey I really like how every one of your builds is unique from the other, it makes it so that every new playthrough of the game is fun. Would you try to make a build revolving around bestial incantations? I feel like a build like that would be fun but I don't really know a good way to do it. Oh and the bestial incantations kind of suck early game so maybe you could fit a cool weapon into it to make it easier, something like a barbarian or beast warrior.
Early game with a build like that would probably be spamming the rock to stagger and get crits with Cinqaeda or whatever the dagger that boost beast incantations is called.
get 15 faith use beast talisman for STR scale go to 50 Str use great axe or other pure Str Scale weapon with beast roar that you get from the same npc that gives you your beast spells get at minimum 45 Vit then just put the rest of your points in Endurance
The ad segue gets more subtle every time Nizar hahahahah! Great vid as always. I recently did powerstance cold clayman’s harpoon + horn bow as a pre MLGS setup. (Ice spear go brrrrrrrr. Also can use Loretta’s slash). It was SUPER FUN! I never took my staff out unless I got mad and needed a rock sling. 9/10 would recommend. PS. Been seeing melee-focused MLGS spell blades use axe talisman in their kit. I’ve never tested this.
It takes following one of the most difficult questlines in the Souls series history to find it, and it is _Ranni's_ sword for her betrothed, it had damn well BETTER be strong, and if its one of the best weapons in the game, then its all for the better, because it really is incredibly beautiful, its genuinely useful, and it doesn't have the same issues the MLGS has had in prior games until Bloodborne.
Cheers to the best creator of Elden Ring builds on this platform. The time and effort you put in is unmatched and the outcome never dissapoints. Keep it up man!
Your builds don’t always fit my play style but your videos are AMAZING !! I always do all your builds and try them, they are so fun!! Thanks for the videos!!
you can skip Ranni's hole quest if you want, there is a specific jump you can do that lets you respawn at a stake of Marika at the top of the moonlight alter
@@IlleMagister It's a zip glitch which would require a PC that runs this at 60fps smoothly, standing in the right spot and performing the zip at the right angle/direction/etc etc - very hard to pull off. IF the OP is talking about an old glitch that required being poisoned and dying at the wall - it don't work anymore. They fixed that.
This build could benefit from a shield in case enemies get too close - a Carian Knight Shield or Brass Shield would fit the bill since this build doesn't rely on powerstancing. Another option is the Jellyfish Shield to get an extra damage buff. It might be worth putting a few extra points to get Strength to 20 for it at higher levels.
Shields engender passivity and delays in taking advantage of opportunities. Eschew shields. Dualweild everything. Powerstance. _Powerstance._ *POWERSTANCE.* There is no need to be fragile or to rely on useless items, when you can simply kill your enemy faster with two weapons.
@@nuclearsimian3281 Not in this case, there are no powrstanced beams (thank god) so getting the jellyfish shield is much better than another DMGS that you would barely use since the main damage output are R2s anyway.
recently tried your godslayer greatword build and i absolutly shredded through the game. After doing rannis quest inm thinking about respeccing and going with this in ng+
Only person to not make me hate ads ever. This time was so clueless with all the blue light surrounding DMGS that i thought you were up to some bullshit with how the DMGS damages enemies eyes or something LOL Great builds but even better videos. The builds are actually dope af and video mad entertaining. Props!
I log on to my work laptop with my coffee ready thinking this will be another ordinary day at the office and what a surprise a new vid from the King of Builds himself! This day just stopped being ordinary. Now I got to make some popcorn before I start watching! :D Nizar your build vids are simply the best on YT, thanks man for all the hard work.
Most straightforward vid I've seen. Sometimes it's nice to keep things simple. Been wanting to use the Dark Moon Greatsword for a long time especially after the lock on was fixed.
I've just got this sword and I also followed your get op early spellblade class as well!! Also followed your other video about getting the wing of astel so I have all the stats to use this set up as well thank you!!!
I've played with bloodhound fang +10, blasphemous blade +10, knightrider glaive +10 and all were very powerful and fun. But this build is the best imo, straight up pure melee or caster mix. FS made this sword the best in the game on purpose (of course) its legit legendary weaponry.
Keep them coming my dude 👍. May require more skill than I can muster to make these builds absolutely bonkers like your videos showcase them, but super fun to see nonetheless
Another great one !! Thank You I have put in a bout 700 Hours in this game and I still am loving it! your tips where a bible!!! Top werk MAn !! Keep flippin them gears!
Just started using this with gargoyles great sword with cariane phalanx. Carian phalanx and then r2 from dark moon staggers most things then jump attack swing then crit and they’re melted especially when frost procs
Man I just reached Makekith with a full Grim Reaper build (max weap, talismans, stats etc) ...but here you are making me want to change again 🤣 Sick build again man!!
First of all I love your builds and the story you make with them. Why do you use Lusat staff over carian regal staff? Since you only use it for dark moon which is a full moon spell, wouldn’t that be better?
Just saw a test the Lusat has a higher scaling so it will do about 200 or 300 more damage with dark moon. Since this build it’s not double staff but if you use both on each hand you get both staff effect.
Considering that the second soft cap is at 50, wouldn't it be more effective to level up your strength and Dex, instead of going for the full 80 intelligence?
Make sure to have something fire related i.e: fire arrow/bolt Magma spells like magma shot Fire infused weaponry or greatsword to power stance with It takes a full minute for frostbite to unbuff itself off enemies so resetting the frostbite makes for easy kills.
I wonder if you have tried Azur's Hlintstone Staff with this build. While not giving the damage bonus of the Lusats Staff, I'm curious if the reduction in casting time would allow for more of Ranni's Moon casts during the initial spam.
Many thanks for your videos!! I transitioned from your spellblade to your nightblade and then added your tips from the moonblade guide. And having blast!! Result: I had all the tools I needed to kill Melania on my fifth attempt and first playthrough of the game at lvl 135, using the paper armor Ranni uses - as well as her moonblade. Full disclosure: I did complement it with a black knife tiche summon. Still pretty hyped though that I made it. In sum: many thanks for your amazing videos.
Lol so you say its your prisonier that we should use as bas. But you have 7 faith and 9 arc so you play with a astrologer right? Should i use an astro as start for the prisoner spellblade build or dose it not mather at all🤔
already? another one? dude...i am enjoying your build guides immensely, thx again for a good time...btw, do you sacrifice a goat (hopefully not *jk) before making your intro stories, damn, they are so good each time...

Cant get the magic scorpion charm anymore any other recommendations
Your Builds are a mix of a movie and a guide...I love them.
it reminds me of old eso skyrim videos🥲
I think he moved to Elden Ring condsidering HL the spam.
Do I need the magic scorpion charm for this build? Or will it work without it. I have all the other talismans

Loving the creativity behind your builds. I would definitely like to see you try your hand at creating a quality samurai build!
But Katanas scale with dexterity so KEEN is the best.
A cool build! What about a magma build next?? I haven’t seen any and i did one that was pretty gud
Ive been using the samurai spellblade build and was just about to look for an upgrade for later game. this came out at just the right time.
Literally me. Was doing a moonveil go and need to be more stronk.

Bro, I wasn’t even done with your last build and now I already want to do this one lol you’re the 🐐

I finally got the sword :) Now i can try this build. Big thanks man for this awesome guide 👍🙂
Love to see the footage of endgame bosses
But how about the legend, Soldier of Godrick?
Another great one !! Thank You I have put in a bout 700 Hours in this game and I still am loving it! your tips where a bible!!! Top werk MAn !! Keep flippin them gears!
I'm still in the middle of the grim reaper playthrough 🤣🤣. Great video keep up the amazing builds.
0:32 - "Where DS2 MGS"
It's bad
your videos on elden ring builds are the absolute best!!
Another amazing Nizar build
Another great build!
Please make a claw/fist build next!
have to say, this one is really OP. Then I combined this with the fire giant spells using the giant's seal....I'm now an Elden Lord of Ice and Fire 😀
The swing of the sword isn't dealing damage when I use the charged attack with the ability active
hahaha funny thing is im stuck on the godskin duo at the moment and watching you wipe them out like that gives me abit of relief with this build
This build is incredible, completely destroys enemies in ng+3. Radahn didnt even get the chance to get to stage 2.
This is the only build that actually helped me tysm for this vid ❤
Love your videos man, amazing build
Just started using this with gargoyles great sword with cariane phalanx. Carian phalanx and then r2 from dark moon staggers most things then jump attack swing then crit and they’re melted especially when frost procs
This is some great content even with the entire year that is soon to pass since the game launched.
Thank you for the love for this awesome game.
Man I just reached Makekith with a full Grim Reaper build (max weap, talismans, stats etc) ...but here you are making me want to change again 🤣
Sick build again man!!
I've used the same build pretty much and it is stronk. I added jellyfish shield for even more damage and adulas moonblade for aoe.
So many builds. So little time. Nice showcase!
Great videos man.
Your dragon build is what helped me start the game.
Only complaint is the clipping with the Snow Witch hat. I wish there was a way for a different stance.
" boss i need a week off Nizar GG just posted"
Still rocking this in the DLC💅🏻

I didn't know rannis dark moon absorbs spells, thanks subscribed
Awesome video... so glad i never finished my play through with this build.
When it comes to build videos im glad im max rank so i dont worry about respecing over n over
instead of the cerulean hidden tear i would suggest using the one that boosts poise damage.
every single build is a new playtrough that i need to do
Top content as always! I've recently felt the urge to get back into Elden Ring.
literally got this today so great timing for the vid lmao
Last time I used this sword it wasn’t very good, time to come back and try it again
How is he doing that much damage with those slashes? I have it maxed out to level 10+ and my Dex, Intelligence and Mind all at 99.
Buffs and talismans. Godfrey icon, magic scorpion charm, terra magic, physic flask magic damage and all those buff it drastically
This just goes to show that just cause you mass level doesn’t mean anything if you don’t understand how your build works inside and out.
Bro these vids are so good
Honestly i prefer the early build videos because then I can start a new save but this is still awesome! Ill be trying it out
It's funny that I ran this build before the vid came out that's how good it is
My favorite fromsoft weapon! Live this video!
for some reason mine doesnt seem to be doing as much damage
Damn! I’m still digging the Wing of Astel. Can’t decide whether I want to try a change!
I remember using it for a time on my first playthrough in 1.0... Damn this thing sure has changed.
What staff are you using? Will the Glintstone staff work just as well?
Bro .. killer vid.
Considering that the second soft cap is at 50, wouldn't it be more effective to level up your strength and Dex, instead of going for the full 80 intelligence?
Keep making Elden ring content appreciate you
These are the perfect videos you are doing a great job 👍
lets flubbing go i just got this weapon for the first time absolutely perfect timing

It takes a full minute for frostbite to unbuff itself off enemies so resetting the frostbite makes for easy kills.
Why is resetting the frostbite good? I’m a noob
@@GamingPIPI Every time the frostbite is applied/reapplied to you or an enemy, the enemy receives a max-health% based damage, kinda like bleed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH this build got me past godskin duo
Many thanks for your videos!! I transitioned from your spellblade to your nightblade and then added your tips from the moonblade guide. And having blast!!

Ranni-Chan once again proving why she's the absolute best.
is this build doing well in ng+ ? love your videos , keep up the good work
Finally the hardest weapon to get in the game is getting love.
You can also invest even less in to mind and use the Blaid talisman
I love your builds ❤️❤️👍👍
Now I can cosplay Ludwig
Thx for all the content
This build looks great! Can you also do a Mohgwyn Sacred Spear bleed build?
love the level of random info
love your videos!!!
Dragon communion build?
is there anyway to get the scorpion charm even though i’ve finished rannis quest before sulevis so he’s now dead
Do you have any Melania like build that's based on the sword and her armor? Something late game viable?
