For those who are finding Lightning Spear hard to hit (i had trouble hitting Malenia with it) the other incantation from the prayer book, Honed Bolt, is an incredible alternative. Lower cost, comes down right on the enemy, and can be cast quickly in succession, skipping the cast sequence after the first bolt to instead call another one
@@ThingfishyGaming I always do. Your builds are well thought out just improved on mine. I’ve played the build before but I always love your twists. Keep up the amazing work
@Thingfishy yeah i think we all know your too modest of a guy to say somthing like that to a comment about how much they love your content! Keep up the good work man your my favorite elden ring youtuber right now along with papa drunk souls
The music gives me chills no cap The perfect timing for musical transitions is what makes it feel more like a story and we are going on a journey not just, here’s a guide.
Glad to see you do one of these guides for lightning. Its the first build i ran with so its very special to me. I really love how you structure your videos and the timing of the jokes/meme montages (please dont stop those lmao theyre too good) are perfect. Looking forward to your next builds mate
Trying out some of your guides made me realize just how little I know the boss fights. I really need to commit to doing a no summon run just to force myself to learn the mechanics.
Bro this video got me falling asleep but i'm trying to stay awake so hard lol. Your voice is really quiet and relaxing, very enjoyable to listen to. Interesting video as well
You can get the Golden Vow Ashes of War early on in Limgrave; just attach it to the Morning Star which you already have. Doesn't take away the Bleed and doesn't use up a spell slot.
I would like to sincerely thank you for this video, due to this I actually tried it myself and it was the most fun I've had in Elden Ring since my very first playthrough. Through and through a greatly enjoyable time.
I made a lightning samurai and it was so fun, a mix of dex and faith using the Dragonscale blade, Wakizashi with parry, and storm like ashes of war on Nagakiba and Naginata
5:05 If you do a wrongwarp to Farum Azula, you can rush and get Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike/Spear from the prayerbook, eliminating the need for fire damage here.
From what I can tell he just doesn't want to use wrong warps. So no super early +9 or early Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike -- which is of course a very different run.
The golden lightning vs dragon lightning battle was soo cool just to watch You made it glorious by adding the right music man The battle turned epic and I would watch forever Keep up the good work friend, for you know just how to make a heart soar by sight and sound
The starting epic intro.. The amazing music selection... The detailed yet interesting explanation... The little jokes... Oh man you nailed it at every spot.... Marvelous ❤️🔥
When dubstep starts playing you know it's gonna be a "fun" time. love your builds, at this point I think I've done them all. Also there's a dude on a chair with a somber stone 4 between iji and the precipice so you don't have to buy it or go to sellia cockroache nightmare tunnel to upgrade a somber weapon to 6. Great content as always.
Hi Thingfishy I am about to start this build as a break from following your first faith build, wanted to point out there is a safer way to the Erd Seal, you can follow the rooftops to the right from where youfirst dropped down and jump down right in front of the cell the seal is in, skipping the miniboss by the bonfire.
I had a feeling you knew all along that it was actually PURIFIED Ruins, but it made me chuckle every time you used the true name lol Glad to see the lightning build come in c: I recently made up a simple build I'm calling the Mad Beast (guess what I'm using lol) to get the Flame of Frenzy ending finally Your guides really help me set it up!
I genuinely had no idea until someone pointed it out on the Thanos build 😂. Gonna roll with it though! Yeah I still need to do the flame of frenzy ending in a guide. Needs the right character though. Maybe Thanos was a missed opportunity for that. Thanks for watching, Bandit!
I made a lightning only build a week ago. Fucking love it more than Pyro. So many more viable incantations to choose from. Awesome videos as always, brother.
Okay... So... Fire Giant, for anyone wanting to run this. Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike is great for this fight, but he' has it locked up in Faram Azula. BUT Frozen Lightning Spear, From the Nokstela Dragonkin Soldier is a great alternative that's generally easier to control. I usually run Lightning Spear, Frozen Lightning Spear, and Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike on my RL330 for some verity.
Death lighting from the lichdragon remembrance deals less damage than ancient dragon lighting strike, but it’s in a much tighter are so it’s more consistent.
Killing something twice without using Lightning seems a little out of sorts for the purpose of the guide, but I am doing something similar right now (used a Wretch instead of the Prophet though), and I found it WAY easier to kill that damn Leyndell Knight by simply using Poison Mist. Just sneak up behind him, apply it, then wait out the damage. When it stops, re-apply (should only require two castings to kill the knight). As a side note - it appears that the charged version of Lightning Strike DOES trigger the dodge animation of many enemies (though admittedly not all), whereas the standard casting does not seem to trigger that response.
I ended up needing to use Mimic Tear for a few of the bosses, but I did manage to make it through with this - it was a lot of fun! I have been disappointed with the lack of inherent lightning weapons so this really met my hopes.
nice guide on my first playthrough rn and my build pretty much enden up like this with no guide since lightning is so fun to use and i never felt the need to change since its so strong lmao went with faith and dex later tho cus of gransax love your guides
I love the absolutely ludicrous amount of damage the ancient dragon lightning strike does. Oh youre resistant to lightning? Ancient dragon lightning strike begs to differ
Learned this from another video: If you put your back up against the door as you enter and charge the lighting strike you can one shot Maliketh's first phase. I used the same talismans and only have three levels higher in faith and vigor than in the video and its been working pretty constantly. Thank you for the Guide Fishy!
Turns out works for second phase too! Run directly backwards as you spawn for phase two and fully charge the lighting strike. Spacing/timing may take a few tries to get right
Excellent guide, as always. I never liked the challenge videos where they do the Faram Azula Grace skip to get the ancient dragon spells early. Lightning is my favorite element in the game, after trying out Bolt of Gransax and respeccing my Greatshield build from Str only, to Quality just for it. If I ever do a run with just one element, it’d be for Lightning.
It was tempting, as I’d love to see what strike is like for the earlier bosses, but ultimately wrong warps on console are rough and I didn’t want to set that entry requirement. Glad you enjoyed it, Arella!
Thingfishy this guide is amazing - editiing, music and production values are top notch! lso your voice is so soothing. Have you thought about doing ASMR Elden Ring?
Great guide as always. 👍 Not that you need to, but if you want to cheese Latenna, run into the arena and immediately head left up the stairs to the walled area. Go into to the corner by the wall and save the game as quick as you can. When you return, Latenna will be stationary so you can waste her while she just sits there. Be careful not to stagger her too much, but it's an easy way to get past her if you are struggling. This cheese has been around since the beginning and I can confirm it still works in 1.07.1.
Here are the challenges(or build) I come up to beat the game: -Cryomaniac build -Ranger build -Faithful Crusader(faith build) -Sun God build(Light) -Amogus build(assassin) -King Crimson build(Blood incantations) -Shadow Wizard build(Dark sorcery)
I love these "guides" and I am nearly done watching all of them. Not only is the narrative good but the music to accompany it is superb. Any chance you could list the music you used in the description?
a few notes to edit, you can kill the dragon in kalid as many time as you want, you just have to get to the grace fast enough on your steed (I recommend getting on before last hitting). Also I would turn in any prayer books to the turtle, since he will rarely, if ever, move.
@@ThingfishyGaming first time ive came across you so defo gonna check out the rest of yer vids keep up the awesome work, as for doin the wrong thing been there yet cause of my super low hp the boss i was against 1 shot me 😂
You can one-shot Placidusax with the Ancient Lightning Strike if you use Godfrey Icon, Ritual Sword Talisman, Flock Canvas Talisman, Lightning Scorpion Charm, Lightning Crack Tear if you fully charge an attack right in the beginning.
I absolutely belive this to be possible. I've 2hit him with ADLS on ng+6 and 3 hit on ng+7. I didn't even use ritual sword and Godfrey appereantly already didn't work anymore (a patch has for some reason removed godfrey icons effect on ADLS). However I did use howl of shabriri.
You don't need to equip radagon's Soreseal to use the morning start. You can equip it and then 2 hand it. 2 hand increases your effective strength by 1.5.
niiiiiice one. for the DLC i am really hoping for a direct upgrade to the lightning spear, like it really pisses me off that the only other “charge then throw” lightning pear other than the base version, is a weapon art on a weapon that doesnt even scale with faith. dont even care if it’s just “gransax lightning spear” and is literally just the weapon art as an incantation. it’s a cool animation and can do great damage. gimme
Question. So, think about this line. Radhan > Nostella or whatever > Gargoyles > Deeproot > the coffin in deeproot that takes you to ainsel. Right next to where you meet tiny doll ranni. So, ever laying eyes on Ranni, or the fingerslayer blade, is _avoidable_ and one could fight Astel without doing that. Right?
Always man. You’ve found great triss and yenn so far. I’ve tried a few ciris online but they always come out wonky. Hopefully one day you will find a better one xD
If you look for a video of mine called “Parrying… You’re Overthinking It!”, there’s some great Ciri sliders in the description. Ciri was the character I started my channel and did all of the parry guides with!
During my very first playthrough, I started as dex/faith, and I wasn't enjoying it at the beginning. I disliked the incantations (aside from the dragon ones), they felt underwhelming. I mostly spammed Lighting Spear and Black Flame. So mid-game I switched to dex/int. I enjoyed it for a bit... until I started getting an abundance of amazing incantations. Among these were the lightning incantations, especially stuff like Lanseax's Glaive, Fortisax's Lightning Spear and Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike. I'm a bit sad that these are very late-game. But I immediately switched out and used dex/faith with mostly lightning spells (and black flame ritual) until the end of the game. Sorry Ranni. I'll do dex/int run from scratch one day. Seems like both the sun and the moon were out for that Radahn fight. What an amazing change of scenery. I also believe that the moon sorceries (Rennala's Full Moon, Ranni's Dark Moon) don't trigger enemies to dodge, just like the lightning spear.
I will say you were dead on about Maliketh, I've been running this build and was able to get him after two ancient dragon lightning strikes, the first one leaving him with a tiny sliver of health.
I thought you never done this but this is perfect. Ok what's next to expect? Beat Elden Ring with Shotgun (Beastial Sling) only? Nah I'm just kidding. Thanks for the guide and entertaining video as always.
Miss ya man , bit longer than your usual upload schedule hope everything is good on your side and you are healthy. Also if we don’t hear from ya. Hope you have a great holiday season
Shame you didn't wait to do Rykard until you had ADLS. I tried it, and because his hitbox is so large, it hits him forever. Much easier than fighting him with the Serpent Hunter.
You know if ypu kill the dragon whilst on mount and as soon as it dues can sprint to the closest site of grace, you can reset it and still get the runes, you can repeat this a couple of times to make the early game much easier
Erdtree seal actually does the best damage at 80 faith! Flocks, Faithful, lightning scorpion charm for damage, radagon icon for cast speed. That's what I suggest off the top of my head but there might be a super nerd out there who knows how to min max the damage.
Well, I was thinking I was stuck on (shade) Godfrey and had NO hope of beating him (I'm not an expert player) but I had a good lightning / faith / strength build and thought, how bad could it be? I was using my summons, but I managed to get, not only Godfrey, but Morgott as well in one attempt. The Black Knife Assassin wasn't a threat. Thanks for your confidence-building guides.
Don't forget, you can bleed the white dragon on Torrent and as soon as the boss dies, SPRINT to the grace and sit. The dragon will not disappear! So, pop your fowl foot before the final hit if you want to use it.
Hi, another great build guide, did this build the other week almost exactly. 3 things I did differently, did the farum azula wrong warp early to get lightning strike which meant you could do Rykard with lightning. The biggest and easiest change was instead of Radagon Icon, I used GODFREY ICON. Would have made your charged attacks even more god like. :) Look forward to seeing your next one. :)
Thanks, Wkd. Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I considered the wrong warp but doing them on console can be a little rough. If I could make this video again I’d definitely try Rykard with strike. Missed opportunity there. You may be interested to know that the Godfrey Icon doesn’t work with any of the lightning incantations, although it strangely does work with the Ancient Lightning Strike on the Bolt On Gransax. Shame, as lightning strike with the Icon would be hilariously good. Thanks for watching!
@@ThingfishyGaming Hi, Godfrey icon only works on charged spells as you know, Lightning incantations, with the exception of ADLS & Lightning Spear are not chargable. ADLS doesn't work for obvious reasons but Lightning Spear does and makes a good difference. Just about to watch your next vid and your Intros are Epic!
Sorry Wkd. I completely messed here with the omission of one word. “Godfrey Icon doesn’t work with any of the ANCIENT dragon lightning incantations” is what I meant. Hope you enjoy the bonk vid!
Did you know that if you mount Torrent once you kill Greyell and rest at the bonfire before he disappears, he will respawn and you still get the runes. Then you can rinse and repeat.
Yes indeed. I don’t use it in my guides, as if someone’s following them and misses the respawn by a second. They’d have to reset and do an hour of set up again, or be 10 levels behind me for the rest of the run. Figure that would probably be very annoying. Thanks for watching!
The only difference in keeping Greyell alive and farming her this way is that you get less runes and no dragon hearts. If you're patient though, you could get the cookbook recipe for pickled fowl feet and just rinse and repeat farm Greyell. Tedious, but an option
You have some extremely good luck Unless you did multiple deaths to some of these bosses, This build, I tried it out The dragon in fias dream killed me 20 times before I killed it Even had to bring out a mimic to distract the dragon or it would of killed me again, (80 vig 90 faith)
Just subbed great video man keep up the good work I’m currently trying my own lighting only run now lol. Idea for a future challenge run for you “catch flame only” run again keep up the good work looking forward to more content
For those who are finding Lightning Spear hard to hit (i had trouble hitting Malenia with it) the other incantation from the prayer book, Honed Bolt, is an incredible alternative. Lower cost, comes down right on the enemy, and can be cast quickly in succession, skipping the cast sequence after the first bolt to instead call another one
Bolt of Gransax Fully Charged also has a 90% hit rate.
If people are okay with Weapon Arts
@@mr_tete I would be if it had ANY faith scaling.
Use black knife tiche summon he got good dodges and knock malenia down give u time to use lightning hits while malenia down.
Nvm just realized this is 1 yrs old lmao don't mind me 😂
Instructions unclear, somehow made another bleed build.
Honey wake up….cancel dinner plans Thingfishy just upLoaded a new build.

Wow first time I’m watching your vids and DAMN!!! I’m already a fan.making me make this build next time I play elden ring
I was really getting burned out on watching elden ring build and challenge run videos. Then I found this channel. I no longer feel burned out. Subbed
I'm pretty sure those magic glintblades aren't lightning, but those parries were cool so I'll allow it. S tier video
"Walk in, cast the wrong spell, take the 3 ton wolf straight to the face" just damn never laughed in a build vid before lol
That was one of those “🤦🏻♂️well at least the video will be funny” moments. Thanks for watching, Steve!
@@ThingfishyGaming first time ive came across you so defo gonna check out the rest of yer vids keep up the awesome work, as for doin the wrong thing been there yet cause of my super low hp the boss i was against 1 shot me 😂
For a game with so many weapons and spells which take the place of weapons themselves.
It’s still so neat to see dual fisting seal builds
You got some of the most Fire intros I've ever seen
one of the few elden ring content creaters who actually have high quality videos/guides
Glad you’re enjoying the channel, City. Thanks for watching!
Few?
Man this was something else 10/10 video frl
You can one-shot Placidusax with the Ancient Lightning Strike if you use Godfrey Icon, Ritual Sword Talisman, Flock Canvas Talisman, Lightning Scorpion Charm, Lightning Crack Tear if you fully charge an attack right in the beginning.
I don’t believe it
I absolutely belive this to be possible.
I've 2hit him with ADLS on ng+6 and 3 hit on ng+7. I didn't even use ritual sword and Godfrey appereantly already didn't work anymore (a patch has for some reason removed godfrey icons effect on ADLS). However I did use howl of shabriri.
"lightning only"
"hit the dragon with a morningstar and blood grease"
You don't need to equip radagon's Soreseal to use the morning start. You can equip it and then 2 hand it. 2 hand increases your effective strength by 1.5.
I have yet to give a real try at playing a Souls game with something other than "Big weapon go BAM!", maybe I'll try this, it looks fun
thx for showing the level ups always, i love that and everybody shouldt do that
my new favorite build!!! this video was awesome. gonna play elden ring again!

So, think about this line.

So, ever laying eyes on Ranni, or the fingerslayer blade, is _avoidable_ and one could fight Astel without doing that. Right?
yes. but you cant unlock moonlight altar without the ranni quest
Bro. 2 videos in one week. Really giving us something for thanksgiving

I also believe that the moon sorceries (Rennala's Full Moon, Ranni's Dark Moon) don't trigger enemies to dodge, just like the lightning spear.
I will say you were dead on about Maliketh, I've been running this build and was able to get him after two ancient dragon lightning strikes, the first one leaving him with a tiny sliver of health.

Glad you enjoyed it, Grim. Thanks for watching!
Another great build! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, Terk! Glad you liked it. Hope you're well mate!
That's it! Been looking for this so i could make raiden character 😮 ty
Another friend of mine did something similar and between him and now this video, I am going to try something similar. Thanks for the inspiration. :D
Have fun, Crimson! Thanks for watching!
Amazing guide friend 👌
"Cast the wrong spell and take a 3 ton wolf to the face"
I just love it
The music in your video is so good
I did beat rykard with just sword bonk till my friend later said you were supposed to use that weapon, strength go brrr
Literally just become the forbidden lovechild of a DS2 player and Fortissax.
*LIGHTNING!!!*
Shame you didn't wait to do Rykard until you had ADLS. I tried it, and because his hitbox is so large, it hits him forever. Much easier than fighting him with the Serpent Hunter.
Elden ring is one of the most beautiful game I ever played and a little emotional too.
You know if ypu kill the dragon whilst on mount and as soon as it dues can sprint to the closest site of grace, you can reset it and still get the runes, you can repeat this a couple of times to make the early game much easier
What's your talisman setup in the late game? Radagon Icon, Flock, Lightning Scorpion and ?
Erdtree seal actually does the best damage at 80 faith! Flocks, Faithful, lightning scorpion charm for damage, radagon icon for cast speed. That's what I suggest off the top of my head but there might be a super nerd out there who knows how to min max the damage.
Pretty much exactly the set up I used! Thanks for watching!
@@ThingfishyGaming Heck yeah, keep it up!
Well, I was thinking I was stuck on (shade) Godfrey and had NO hope of beating him (I'm not an expert player) but I had a good lightning / faith / strength build and thought, how bad could it be?
I was using my summons, but I managed to get, not only Godfrey, but Morgott as well in one attempt. The Black Knife Assassin wasn't a threat.
Thanks for your confidence-building guides.
Don't forget, you can bleed the white dragon on Torrent and as soon as the boss dies, SPRINT to the grace and sit. The dragon will not disappear! So, pop your fowl foot before the final hit if you want to use it.
Hi, another great build guide, did this build the other week almost exactly. 3 things I did differently, did the farum azula wrong warp early to get lightning strike which meant you could do Rykard with lightning. The biggest and easiest change was instead of Radagon Icon, I used GODFREY ICON. Would have made your charged attacks even more god like. :) Look forward to seeing your next one. :)
Thanks, Wkd. Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I considered the wrong warp but doing them on console can be a little rough. If I could make this video again I’d definitely try Rykard with strike. Missed opportunity there. You may be interested to know that the Godfrey Icon doesn’t work with any of the lightning incantations, although it strangely does work with the Ancient Lightning Strike on the Bolt On Gransax. Shame, as lightning strike with the Icon would be hilariously good. Thanks for watching!
@@ThingfishyGaming Hi, Godfrey icon only works on charged spells as you know, Lightning incantations, with the exception of ADLS & Lightning Spear are not chargable. ADLS doesn't work for obvious reasons but Lightning Spear does and makes a good difference. Just about to watch your next vid and your Intros are Epic!
Sorry Wkd. I completely messed here with the omission of one word. “Godfrey Icon doesn’t work with any of the ANCIENT dragon lightning incantations” is what I meant. Hope you enjoy the bonk vid!
Fun fact plasidusax "only" has 40% lightning resistage all other 'aincent' dragons have 60/80% lightning resistence, if i am correct.
That intro 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
I like how whenever he gets to radagon he basically says "and now for something completely different"
5:50 Ah yes, use the lighting to get stronger lightning
The classic lightning spear build. Super reliable and fun build
Exactly. Not a bad word to be said about lightning spear. Thanks for watching!
Tried Rykard with lightning only. But with the Bolt of Gransax. Got clapped hard.
Did you know that if you mount Torrent once you kill Greyell and rest at the bonfire before he disappears, he will respawn and you still get the runes. Then you can rinse and repeat.
Yes indeed. I don’t use it in my guides, as if someone’s following them and misses the respawn by a second. They’d have to reset and do an hour of set up again, or be 10 levels behind me for the rest of the run. Figure that would probably be very annoying. Thanks for watching!
The only difference in keeping Greyell alive and farming her this way is that you get less runes and no dragon hearts.
If you're patient though, you could get the cookbook recipe for pickled fowl feet and just rinse and repeat farm Greyell. Tedious, but an option
You have some extremely good luck
Unless you did multiple deaths to some of these bosses,
This build, I tried it out
The dragon in fias dream killed me 20 times before I killed it
Even had to bring out a mimic to distract the dragon or it would of killed me again, (80 vig 90 faith)
Just subbed great video man keep up the good work I’m currently trying my own lighting only run now lol. Idea for a future challenge run for you “catch flame only” run again keep up the good work looking forward to more content
This my Day 1 build lol. Magnificent vid tho
