You forgot the eternal rivals.The zweihander and claymore mains, invader vs sun bro, Giant Dad vs John Kingssoulssekiroborncore. They will regardless of build regardless of game always be rivals and continue to struggle unto eternity.
Giant Dad invaders... TBH I was a half-naked Great Scythe user, so I wrecked everything in PvP. I used the oldschool "gheyforgames" GS build, it was totally broken (still is) a combination of the GS with select, pyro spells. it was honestly unfair... I see why they nerfed the Scythe moveset in every game, after DKS. as far as I can remember you used dark wraith gauntlets (for the roll damage) the undead soldier chest (the one with the insane poise to weight ratio) and mask of the child (also the grass crest shield on back for extra stam, too) I think we wore no pants/boots with this build... I'm sure their build is still up. Not sure what happened to these guys. They were very prevalent in the DKS/PS3 community, but seemed to fall into obscurity with future releases (likely due to the games becoming more popular) They were the premier channel for DKS content, though. The 2-handed roll attack/jump attack/backstep, was so busted. The hit box was almost 360 degrees. Was so good at dealing with gank-parties. Really though I thought it was a fine trade off. Most of the weapons moves were ass, but it had like 2 broken moves that you had to get good at learning to bait people into. It was considered the strongest weapon in the game though, simply because of the sheer size of the hit box, on these 2 x 2-handed moves, and the speed they came out. I remember fighting gank parties in the forest with that thing, and most of the time it was just footsies, until I managed to get off a jumping attack, and then 1 shot the whole team at once :D
@@thedoomslayer5863 it was good on PS3. probably bad on PC, however. DKS2 probably had the best PvP. I have not really played PvP in Elden Ring though, so can't compare.
@@thedoomslayer5863 I still enjoyed PvP in DKS. You have to remember that it was quite a long time ago now. The genre was still brand new, so there wasn't really anything to compare it to.
Forget getting hit, what's the point of winning if you're not looking good while doing so? Getting fashion gud means not getting an ugly mug. It's about looking dripped, not caring about getting clipped.
STR/FAITH is the most fun build ever, Just do damage and if you need distance then you got that. I rock the Blasphemous Blade and the cold iron greatsword, fire+cold.
I didn't get my holy whetstone, so can't make a lot of the faith/lightning stuff :'( I swear I thought I was going into a dragon fight, and it was Malekith. I beat him first try, as had my mimic tear out. Then when looking through my inventory, realised I didn't have the holy whetstone, and could no longer obtain it. I guess that's what happens when you pause the game for a couple of years. I legit thought I'd collected all the items from the capital, already. No idea how I managed to miss it.
That was my 1st char so definitely, but I'd also add the sorcery version - the spellswords/Carian knight cosplayers - as I'm finding out rn with my 2nd char. Not being mentioned at all feels so left out man :( We'd be those dudes that shout "UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS" and put on our Vergil motivation game on as we try to... not break our floating magic blades in walls....
I just respected to play that build again, before I was full arcane bleed build but now I'm not going to go back because It's safer to play. Blasphemous Blade with cold iron greatsword.
Idk If I'm considered an str/faith build based on my stats which I have very close to all equal but I do use a strength faith build in terms of gear/items
As a player who's primary builds are faith oriented, I'd like to present the "Grey side" of faith builds. It's basically just anything that's godskin, frenzy flame or dragon communion related or adjacent.
In defense of bleed builds... there's something about a blood proc that gets your dopamine flowing... am I wrong? Can you honestly say that seeing a boss health bar get chunked with a splash of red doesn't get you a little turned on at least?
@@SoulKingsss Yep, and I'm not hating on em or nothing like get that bag, but they post like every 3 hours and I can't even look normal elden ring because only their videos show up
Bro this video had me rollin 😂 I love how you weren’t afraid to offend anybody lol! Thankfully my main is strength/faith though so I can rest easy tonight 😅
I beat the DLC as Strength/Arcane. Used the GUTS Greatsword (bleed affinity) with the Ash of War from Commander Gaius' weapon. Flying spinning bleed bonk. For range I used maternal staff for arcane scaling, and Impenatrable Thorns.
Epic video. I think one worth mentioning is the 'committed to a build for the NG+__' players. I'm on NG+5, and sometimes I have to switch up my build when I get to Leyndell. I think the Big Bonk and Str/Faith are the only builds I can play through the whole main game with, if I try a pure caster or dex/arcane bleed build I'll probably have to switch to a Str or Str/Faith build for Leyndell.
I’m a mixture of Fashion/Dexterity build since DS1 my motto has been “stats are temporary but the drip … the drip is eternal “ then I get one shot and start from the bf/grace 💀
4:55 Hey, lore lover here. I'm really impressed with the accuracy of that part of the video and thought it'd be a good idea to share my mind and expand a little on what you said, since although it's pretty on point already, but it never hurts to add some more clarification and info on thge topic, especially considering I have real life experience with it that could be valuable to anyone reading. Anyways, point it: If you ask a lore lover about a simple question, they'll naturally be very excited to share their knowledge, but it's actually a little more complicated than that, as the outcome varies WILDLY depending on what that question is specifically. The main reason for that is that with Elden Ring's abstract style of storytelling, many lore questions can have a large variety in how much clarity the answers provided by the game are, and so each question varies a lot when it comes to how much of said answer is direct information found in the game itself, and how much of it is concluded indirectly through theories based on direct in-game information. Let us take the question you used in the video as an example to display what exactly I mean: "Who did the Crucible Knights serve?" That question is one example that fortunately has a direct response in the game, that being the First Elden Lord Godfrey. However, any further clarification regarding the answer starts to actually get pretty unclear. For example: "when did they serve Godfrey?" While it's possible they did so during the start of his reign as Elden Lord, there is actually some evidence that might indicate their loyalty predates the Erdtree itself. The Crucible Knights' combat style has some natable similarities with that of the Hornsent's Horned Warriors, as well as with Messmer's Soldiers, an army whose style seems to be formed and established primarily during the duration of their campaign, meaning they likely stole some of said techniques from their enemies. This might signify that the origins of the techniques employed by Godfrey, or at the time Horah Loux, and by extension his Crucible Knights, can be traced all the way back to the times before Marika's ascencion to godhood in the Land of Shadows. Now, let us take an example of a question that does NOT have direct answers in the game so you can see the contrast between it and the previous one: "Whose weapons are those in the Roundtable?" That answer doesn't actually have any answer provided to us, meaning any possible answer we can give would be based on theories and speculations. The first problem this brings is that each of those answers could be based on different theories, further branching out the answers. With this question for example, the most common answer would connect it to Godfrey and the Crucible Knights, as the main weapon displayed is an axe, and their large size combined with the location being set in the royal capital (As the Roundtable Hold itself is a spectral reproduction of the Fortified Manor, which is the original location those weapons are from) makes them a likely option, not to mention the lack of an axe in the Fortified Manor's version, implying it was remove after the reaction of the Roundtable Hold (An event that itself has several possible explanations). However, said answer would then open up the question of when and why those weapons were sent there, the most likely response being that they were the old weapons of Horah Loux and his Warrior, abandoned once he accepted his new name as Lord Godfrey and they were granted Knighthood, which connects this back to the previous question regarding their servitude possibly predating his lordship. As you can clearly see, while these answers all connect to one another providing validity to them, each one of them is still based on several other pieces of fragmented information taht need clarifying to explain properly, and this is with me presenting you with ONE option of an answer, so this could likely double if I tried presenting you an alternative theory. All of that makes these more unclear questions have FAR lenghier answers, something clear simply by comparing this paragraph to the other one and noticing how much bigger it is in spite of me trying to summerize it more. Anyhow, I hope this comment provided you and everyone else with some valuable insight! PS: Is this long enough for the joke to work? If you don't think it is, I'd be glad to write more, so just say the word!
My brother, I know how tempting it is to turn into a badass dragon, believe me. My first RPG was Breath of Fire 3 for crying out loud, transforming into a motherfucking dragon will _always_ be one of the coolest things it's possible to do in a video game... But you have to accept the truth man... Dragon Communion will never let your dreams come true. Those dragon hearts are a drug, man. You've gotta quit while you still can. Please, think of your family and friends..!
As a bonk main, I can confirm, UNGA BUNGA is a LIFESTYLE. I call it "Maximum Overdrive" where I put ALL POSSIBLE effort into EVERY action. It's really fun.
@@SoulKingsss It doesn't matter the stat; find a weapon that scales best for its stat, then start as the class best for that stat, and ONLY LEVEL THAT STAT. Get to 100 on that stat, and THEN you can start getting Quality of life stats. Maybe a pause at 50 main stat for Q.O.L. if that's too much. If you're going strength, then Giant crusher is the way to go, two-hand it with the two-handed boost talisman, ONLY use charged R2, and build it with all the talismans; charged attack boost, weapon art boost if you use one on it, and for armor, go basic knight armor of some kind, then get Solitude armor as your finishing armor. Always upgrade your armor and weapons to the maximum available as soon as you can, always grind out a few levels between bosses, and just FULL FORCE SLAM. Do this for fourteen hours a day, only pausing to eat, hydrate, or use the restroom, and sleep for 10-14 hours between. When AC6 came out, I played 14 and slept 14 for three cycles in a row. Stream it if you want, but you HAVE to go FULL FORCE. Name the girl Slamantha for me, Samantha but with more SLAM
@@SoulKingsss Alternatively, Two fingerprint shields, full bull goat, blare Mark Henry's walkout theme, THE WALL, all the way. ONLY attack with THE WALL. NEVER have the stamina to roll at all, NEVER use torrent, just walk menacingly to every enemy, and overwhelm them with the sheer strength of THE WALL. I kid you not, you can tank MALENIA with that shit.
i just use a bunch of shit to remake the Sith, then add in Dragon Communion gear... makes invasions a lot funnier to go in as a seeming melee player, when whip out Greyoll's roar, then go for lightning spear and then double bleed scimitars/bandit curved swords/bloody slash katana's, then when they back up toss out Lanseax Glaive followed by Frenzied Flame spews...
Me who is a Hybrid Build but is more focused in Faith/Arcane Build : 👁️👄👁️ I used to be a Samurai Mage Hybrid on my first playthrough, but now that I'm in my 5th Playthrough, I am now a Swordsman Saint. Faith is for all the incantations I can cast and for any weapon that scales with Faith, and Arcane for any weapons with a passive affinity (From what I heard from other players, not only Arcane help with bleed, but also help raise up points for the other affinities like Frostbite, Sleep, Poison, Scarlet Rot)
Stubborn head smasher here. Got into leyndell through a shortcut on the mountains, (unintentionally xD) skipped entirely Caelid and Nokron and ended up having the hardest bosfight I’ve ever had in a souls game against morgot (I was lvl 50 ish). After intense 3 days of suffering I finally beat the sucker just to get tell by a friend I should have explored 2 fucking entire regions before that bossfight.
Elden Ring was my first Souls-like. I spent my first 8 hours on the game fighting the erdtree sentinel. Victory achieved, I quit the game with a satisfied grin, and only came back a year later. What doesn't kill you makes your cranium stronger
I fall into a lot of categories but firstly it is a dark souls 1 style sunbro Strictly buffs and lightning lightning and more lightning it's just what's comfortable and I love being able to square up with almost anything that might smoke my host
Ive been playing as a war surgeon (invader but i put on cooperator mirror) healing the gankers and backstabbing the ones with low health so its lore accurate
Exactly. My Greatsword is an extention of my very being. Though I also use Rivers of Blood and the Dragon Seal... Kind of a mixed build. Big enemies and bosses require the big sword. Regular enemies require quick slashing. Before Rivers of Blood, I used the claws, with the drain health Ash of War.
haha ngl this parody really made me miss the time when I was like a hardcore Dark Souls 1 PVP connoisseur, but idk getting so into Elden Ring at the same level seems like a lot of effort and time. Maybe I'll try it anyway. Fun video, bro, I enjoyed it
Int/Faith: The ultimate spell casters. The weapon maxxers: Collectors of multiple armaments/ashes of wars that switch between them mid fight for ultimate versatility.
After my 1st playthrough with Samurai Katana build, I always go with 2 Great Stars with Cragblade AOW. I have tried pure Int, pure Faith, Int+Faith hybrid, pure Strength, pure Dex, Shield and poke builds too. But for me no build is as satisfying as the 2 Great Star+ Cragblade AOW. Just finished SOTE 2 times, 1st with Shield+Poke and 2nd with 2GS+Cragblade and I was killing bosses so fast with 2GS that it looked like a completely different game than my 1st play. The only 2 boss I had a hard time was gaius and Consort fight with 2GS build.
Your max level explanation is correct, but i need to add that it's laziness as well. You never have to respec again. And you don't need everything on 100. 85-90 is enough. Godrick's omen to add 5 to every category. and you can use a buff here or there. Also it gives you great know how on how weapons actually work.
As a Caster main, blame FromSoft for absolutely refusing to improve Seal/Staff gameplay outside of Spells. At least DS2 offered Casters the ability to Infuse Catalysts in place of stacking Spell Damage Rings/Talismans. In DS3/Elden Ring, Catalysts are glorified hotbar items that happen to take up a hand slot. FromSofts current idea of improving Caster gameplay basically stops at "increases X spell damage"...
As a Max level, and Famous Sleeping Coffin. been playing solo offline since demon souls and dark souls, I enjoy helping people 😊 So I am on a brake from try harding and taking it easy on elden ring, playing online and I already know I'm all powerful and unleashed the rumbling in elden ring with free full inventory drops!! At the end of the day, just having fun is what its all about.
I'm a strength arcane main. Long time fan. Congrats on 40k subs. The only type that I can think of is the farmer/gatherer. Run into a cave 400 times to collect moss, to sell to a vendor
Str/Faith build, Elden Drip, and Max leveler here. I use a Tree Sentinel armor, with Elden Lord Crown, Fingerprint Shield, and Spear of Gransax. As a secondary weapon I use the Sacred Blade off the last boss for AoE and while mounted. Also have same amount of Dex as Strength so it’s really a Strength, Dex, Faith build. You forgot the Shielders stereotype though. I explore with shield raised high so I can give zero F’s about ambushes or boss tantrums. I am the wall! 😂
i was a natural big bonker when i started playing this game, i somehow found all by myself the perfect big bonker weapons, first the Greataxe, then the Greatsword, then the Giant-Crusher, it was like they really call for you.
Fashion Soul'er + Bleed + mage + faith + DEX + STR + non-meta(unless it's cool) I am mix of the above, which is too complex, so you may simply call me a MAX LEVELER. And yes, I love to be in control the whole game.
as a caestus main (yes, i run caestus over iron balls) indeed, after accepting them I started to have fun with them. Just for a little bit of context: I thought it was a great idea to beat DS1 with caestus ON MY FIRST RUN, and pretty much it became the only weapon I'm good at
I'm usually a Dex Phag, TBH. I started off with the Great Scythe in DKS. Only time I used a STR weapon was in DKS2, because the great scythe move set was erased from the game (and I didn't want to use a Katana) I think I used some bleed, curved swords or something in DKS3, and then in Elden Ring I finally picked up some Katana's, and I dual wielded them all the way up until the DLC. Now I'm on that big, Chicken Leg. The playstyle is very different, but I am getting into it. I still prefer the faster gameplay though, I am just better with this style.
As someone who doesn't plan on stopping the leveling train through the dlc, I just don't like having runes burning a hole in my pocket when I die too close to a level up lol.
Lore lovers? Thats what brought me into the game! (also playing and finishing DS2 ofc) Also, Blaidd is a good boi. Glad to have had him during Radahn bossfight Ah by the way, STR/FTH here (Deus Vult)
I was pleasantly surprised to see Tengen vs Gyutaro as a representation of two dex mains fighting, those two characters are dope asf and its easily my favorite fight in DS.
Yup I’m a head smasher. Stumbled on a dungeon very under leveled, should I have leveled a bit and get more blessings and come back later? Pretty sure it’s optional too. Never, the problem in in front of me and I will solve it even if it kills me.
i'd say you missed 2 first is the jack of all trades that try to be good at everything and keep stats even (so pretty much me) and the ones just in it mess around and have fun they don't care about the story or bosses they just wanna explore and do dumb shit (so again pretty much me)
As a lvl 331 in my first run still: I can confirm. Aside from Consort Radahn? I’m invincible. If this last fight wasn’t a Holy laser disco (I’ve only tried it x3 so far granted) with such a deep hp pool? I’d do what I did with every other DLC boss: 3 tries or less. Aka I’d still suggest it. You can have 80MND and then two stats fully at 80/80: Str Fth? Both 80. Int Fth? Switch, both 80. Str, Dex? Switch, both 80. Etc. A “smart” person: Buuut buut I bet in PVP you have to… Me: whoa whoa whoa kid… do you actually think I’m ####ing STUPID enough to pay SONY 15$ a month just for multiplayer access??? Now that’s a joke funnier then any build stereotype.
@@JustAGayIntBuild Since the PS3s launch I told myself, “No one’s stupid enough to pay Sony (later Microsoft) a fixed rate for online access.” And have quickly realized from 06 or whatever it was later: “God damn…gamers are stupid.” And have never admitted video games are a hobby of mine in public since knowing the mass stupidity it’s associated with.
Stubborn head smashers, never felt more identified in my life. I just CAN'T run from an encounter once i find one, even if i lose 1000 times, I'll keep going
Every time I try something new, sooner or later, I gravitate back to some variation of the strength/faith build. Sometimes just enough strength to carry a greatsword and a decent shield. Sometimes just enough faith to buff my unga bunga. But I usually end up back at the same place.
I'm a fashions souls mage and also an overleveller. And I have about 10 different melee weapons levelled just so I don't need to swap AoWs too often. Plus bow for sneak archer purposes.
Your thoughts on those faith builds is pretty accurate My character is a faith strength build, Crimson Hood or Navy Hood Tree Sentinel Armor Golden Great Shield (3 different ones with different ashes) Sword of Night and Flame / Treespear / Troll's Golden Sword Pulley Bow / Envoy's Longhorn Clawmark Seal / Golden Order Seal Various buff, heal, and aid incantations, Boulder Toss / fire and lightning incantations, and sometimes plague breath or fly swarm in certain situations. ~ On March 26th 2022, just past midnight, I was restless in bed, my limbs became numb & tingly, my chest became tight, & my heart felt like it was being crushed. So I sang out to God and Jesus, about my pain, my feelings, my faults and my inabilities.
As I sang, I began to feel like a river, & a hand was on my back, it's fingers where skimming the surface of the waters, separating the waters, causing ripples through my body. Then the hand reached inside my chest, lit my heart on fire, & the heat moved like waves through my body. When I was done singing, all the pain was gone, & I looked at the clock, it was past 1am, I had sang near an hour.
Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above, & there was a hymn of energy in the air, the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God. Glory, Honor, blessings, thanks and praise to the Lord my God, for healing my heart during a heart attack! Hallelujah to the Lord my God for healing my heart! Hallelujah for His son Jesus for saving my soul! Hallelujah for every day! Hallelujah for every breath! The Lord is Faithful and true! May the Lord Bless your hearts, so that you have the will and strength to turn from selfish sins, and flee from the slaveries of the flesh!
You forgot the Rat, cheesing every bossfight from atop some perch, while watching your enemy struggle trying to get to you, while slowly suffocate in your poisonous and rotting miasmas. I just finished the dlc, and I only did properly the Messmer bossfight, the others you may ask.... I don't even know what they do. (Bow build)

Thanks man lol i appreciate that
Friendly neighborhood tarnished? that's me. Only 18 h trying to help ppl with dlc bosses
well good work soldier keep it up lol
In defense of bleed builds... there's something about a blood proc that gets your dopamine flowing... am I wrong? Can you honestly say that seeing a boss health bar get chunked with a splash of red doesn't get you a little turned on at least?
15:52 this feels very specific to one channel that pops up every time you look up "shadow of the erdtree dlc builds"
Ragegamingvideos? They put 20 keywords in every title lol its crazy
gets views tho....ppl be clickin on it
@@SoulKingsss Yep, and I'm not hating on em or nothing like get that bag, but they post like every 3 hours and I can't even look normal elden ring because only their videos show up
Bro this video had me rollin 😂 I love how you weren’t afraid to offend anybody lol! Thankfully my main is strength/faith though so I can rest easy tonight 😅
You the ONLY one who got blessed then lol 😭
I appreciate this 🙏
STR/Faith bias is clear, but can't blame you it's my favorite build so hard I had to force myself to play DEX/Faith instead for once.
No black flame build? (I love black flame tornado when online, big number active neurons)
You didnt cover yhose who run a STR/DEX/FAITH builds who always change the affinity to quality on every weapon
Doesnt sound like a real build unless ur in like lvl 200 range
I do str/dex because of cool katana
Kind of what I got going on, I main bloodhounds fang and I specced a bit to use bloodflame blade on it
@@Nikolai572 that's actually one of the builds I was talking about
@@Nikolai572I use bloodflame blade too
you missed the edge lords
Ensha
everyone misses them cause they fell off the edge of the wall and down the hallway to their "death" because someone called their build stupid...
You forgot the “ Cheesy Players”. Using the Mohg Spear or the Bow n Arrow on the cliffs.
I beat the DLC as Strength/Arcane. Used the GUTS Greatsword (bleed affinity) with the Ash of War from Commander Gaius' weapon. Flying spinning bleed bonk. For range I used maternal staff for arcane scaling, and Impenatrable Thorns.
As a mage, it is quite accurate.
Epic video. I think one worth mentioning is the 'committed to a build for the NG+__' players. I'm on NG+5, and sometimes I have to switch up my build when I get to Leyndell. I think the Big Bonk and Str/Faith are the only builds I can play through the whole main game with, if I try a pure caster or dex/arcane bleed build I'll probably have to switch to a Str or Str/Faith build for Leyndell.
What about the Finger Fanatic? You know, both giant finger weapons now in the game, the finger staff to cast ONLY Finger sorceries?
if i hear "Finger Fanatic" .... i dont think of the Finger spells 💀 lol
This video was amazing. Great job buddy. I laughed my ass off.😅
Don't disrespect my boys, Tengen and Gyutaro
nah that was the best episode ever
@@SoulKingsss they're not Dex builds, they're arc dex, and dex str respectively. And they will always have the best fight in the entire series
thats facts yeah...
Man, i gotta say, i really enjoy your video's. The combination of information and entertainment. dat shit ish shick boy
lmfao that accent at the end is great
thanks dude, more coming 🙏💯
As a fai/int I just sit there screaming like the good doctor "I aM A dRagOn" "I aM A dRagOn"
Same tbh.
I’m a mixture of Fashion/Dexterity build since DS1 my motto has been “stats are temporary but the drip … the drip is eternal “ then I get one shot and start from the bf/grace 💀
As a Mage IRL , don't touch me.
Because you'll die from one touch?
touch
Str/Fai was spot on. Kendrick, the clothes and holding doors. I feel very seen lol
My character is a bleed build but I can use faith and sorc spells lol
4:55 Hey, lore lover here.
I'm really impressed with the accuracy of that part of the video and thought it'd be a good idea to share my mind and expand a little on what you said, since although it's pretty on point already, but it never hurts to add some more clarification and info on thge topic, especially considering I have real life experience with it that could be valuable to anyone reading.
Anyways, point it: If you ask a lore lover about a simple question, they'll naturally be very excited to share their knowledge, but it's actually a little more complicated than that, as the outcome varies WILDLY depending on what that question is specifically. The main reason for that is that with Elden Ring's abstract style of storytelling, many lore questions can have a large variety in how much clarity the answers provided by the game are, and so each question varies a lot when it comes to how much of said answer is direct information found in the game itself, and how much of it is concluded indirectly through theories based on direct in-game information. Let us take the question you used in the video as an example to display what exactly I mean:
"Who did the Crucible Knights serve?"
That question is one example that fortunately has a direct response in the game, that being the First Elden Lord Godfrey. However, any further clarification regarding the answer starts to actually get pretty unclear. For example: "when did they serve Godfrey?" While it's possible they did so during the start of his reign as Elden Lord, there is actually some evidence that might indicate their loyalty predates the Erdtree itself. The Crucible Knights' combat style has some natable similarities with that of the Hornsent's Horned Warriors, as well as with Messmer's Soldiers, an army whose style seems to be formed and established primarily during the duration of their campaign, meaning they likely stole some of said techniques from their enemies. This might signify that the origins of the techniques employed by Godfrey, or at the time Horah Loux, and by extension his Crucible Knights, can be traced all the way back to the times before Marika's ascencion to godhood in the Land of Shadows.
Now, let us take an example of a question that does NOT have direct answers in the game so you can see the contrast between it and the previous one:
"Whose weapons are those in the Roundtable?"
That answer doesn't actually have any answer provided to us, meaning any possible answer we can give would be based on theories and speculations. The first problem this brings is that each of those answers could be based on different theories, further branching out the answers. With this question for example, the most common answer would connect it to Godfrey and the Crucible Knights, as the main weapon displayed is an axe, and their large size combined with the location being set in the royal capital (As the Roundtable Hold itself is a spectral reproduction of the Fortified Manor, which is the original location those weapons are from) makes them a likely option, not to mention the lack of an axe in the Fortified Manor's version, implying it was remove after the reaction of the Roundtable Hold (An event that itself has several possible explanations). However, said answer would then open up the question of when and why those weapons were sent there, the most likely response being that they were the old weapons of Horah Loux and his Warrior, abandoned once he accepted his new name as Lord Godfrey and they were granted Knighthood, which connects this back to the previous question regarding their servitude possibly predating his lordship. As you can clearly see, while these answers all connect to one another providing validity to them, each one of them is still based on several other pieces of fragmented information taht need clarifying to explain properly, and this is with me presenting you with ONE option of an answer, so this could likely double if I tried presenting you an alternative theory. All of that makes these more unclear questions have FAR lenghier answers, something clear simply by comparing this paragraph to the other one and noticing how much bigger it is in spite of me trying to summerize it more.
Anyhow, I hope this comment provided you and everyone else with some valuable insight!
PS: Is this long enough for the joke to work? If you don't think it is, I'd be glad to write more, so just say the word!
I enjoy my dragon communion build, because cool dragon head go burt
My brother, I know how tempting it is to turn into a badass dragon, believe me. My first RPG was Breath of Fire 3 for crying out loud, transforming into a motherfucking dragon will _always_ be one of the coolest things it's possible to do in a video game...
But you have to accept the truth man... Dragon Communion will never let your dreams come true. Those dragon hearts are a drug, man. You've gotta quit while you still can. Please, think of your family and friends..!
As a bonk main, I can confirm, UNGA BUNGA is a LIFESTYLE. I call it "Maximum Overdrive" where I put ALL POSSIBLE effort into EVERY action. It's really fun.
Broooo Maximum Dedication, deadpool style 🤣
Yo i have to make a Maximum Overdrive build. Any suggestions???
@@SoulKingsss It doesn't matter the stat; find a weapon that scales best for its stat, then start as the class best for that stat, and ONLY LEVEL THAT STAT. Get to 100 on that stat, and THEN you can start getting Quality of life stats. Maybe a pause at 50 main stat for Q.O.L. if that's too much. If you're going strength, then Giant crusher is the way to go, two-hand it with the two-handed boost talisman, ONLY use charged R2, and build it with all the talismans; charged attack boost, weapon art boost if you use one on it, and for armor, go basic knight armor of some kind, then get Solitude armor as your finishing armor. Always upgrade your armor and weapons to the maximum available as soon as you can, always grind out a few levels between bosses, and just FULL FORCE SLAM. Do this for fourteen hours a day, only pausing to eat, hydrate, or use the restroom, and sleep for 10-14 hours between. When AC6 came out, I played 14 and slept 14 for three cycles in a row. Stream it if you want, but you HAVE to go FULL FORCE. Name the girl Slamantha for me, Samantha but with more SLAM
@@SoulKingsss Alternatively, Two fingerprint shields, full bull goat, blare Mark Henry's walkout theme, THE WALL, all the way. ONLY attack with THE WALL. NEVER have the stamina to roll at all, NEVER use torrent, just walk menacingly to every enemy, and overwhelm them with the sheer strength of THE WALL. I kid you not, you can tank MALENIA with that shit.
When you said dark side faith users I smiled because I will dragon breath a MF into the ground all day every day if it means I win lol. Thanks bro 👍
So you admit to being a scoundrel!! 🤣 I use swarm of flies so thats even worse lol,
thanks for watching mate
i just use a bunch of shit to remake the Sith, then add in Dragon Communion gear... makes invasions a lot funnier to go in as a seeming melee player, when whip out Greyoll's roar, then go for lightning spear and then double bleed scimitars/bandit curved swords/bloody slash katana's, then when they back up toss out Lanseax Glaive followed by Frenzied Flame spews...
Me who is a Hybrid Build but is more focused in Faith/Arcane Build : 👁️👄👁️
I used to be a Samurai Mage Hybrid on my first playthrough, but now that I'm in my 5th Playthrough, I am now a Swordsman Saint.
Faith is for all the incantations I can cast and for any weapon that scales with Faith, and Arcane for any weapons with a passive affinity (From what I heard from other players, not only Arcane help with bleed, but also help raise up points for the other affinities like Frostbite, Sleep, Poison, Scarlet Rot)
Strength/Faith for life!!!!
Stubborn head smasher here. Got into leyndell through a shortcut on the mountains, (unintentionally xD) skipped entirely Caelid and Nokron and ended up having the hardest bosfight I’ve ever had in a souls game against morgot (I was lvl 50 ish). After intense 3 days of suffering I finally beat the sucker just to get tell by a friend I should have explored 2 fucking entire regions before that bossfight.
i was waiting to see what will u say about str and faith. good vid man made me happy
Elden Ring was my first Souls-like. I spent my first 8 hours on the game fighting the erdtree sentinel. Victory achieved, I quit the game with a satisfied grin, and only came back a year later.
What doesn't kill you makes your cranium stronger
I fall into a lot of categories but firstly it is a dark souls 1 style sunbro
Strictly buffs and lightning lightning and more lightning it's just what's comfortable and I love being able to square up with almost anything that might smoke my host
Im a str/dex build (Not really just wanna make big damage number with cool katana )
Ive been playing as a war surgeon (invader but i put on cooperator mirror) healing the gankers and backstabbing the ones with low health so its lore accurate
Exactly. My Greatsword is an extention of my very being. Though I also use Rivers of Blood and the Dragon Seal... Kind of a mixed build. Big enemies and bosses require the big sword. Regular enemies require quick slashing. Before Rivers of Blood, I used the claws, with the drain health Ash of War.
haha ngl this parody really made me miss the time when I was like a hardcore Dark Souls 1 PVP connoisseur, but idk getting so into Elden Ring at the same level seems like a lot of effort and time. Maybe I'll try it anyway. Fun video, bro, I enjoyed it
Int/Faith: The ultimate spell casters.
The weapon maxxers: Collectors of multiple armaments/ashes of wars that switch between them mid fight for ultimate versatility.
I barely started for two days, and I've been fighting the tree sential
I know he's an optional boss, but that mf made me drop 10 runes
After my 1st playthrough with Samurai Katana build, I always go with 2 Great Stars with Cragblade AOW. I have tried pure Int, pure Faith, Int+Faith hybrid, pure Strength, pure Dex, Shield and poke builds too. But for me no build is as satisfying as the 2 Great Star+ Cragblade AOW. Just finished SOTE 2 times, 1st with Shield+Poke and 2nd with 2GS+Cragblade and I was killing bosses so fast with 2GS that it looked like a completely different game than my 1st play. The only 2 boss I had a hard time was gaius and Consort fight with 2GS build.
Your max level explanation is correct, but i need to add that it's laziness as well. You never have to respec again. And you don't need everything on 100. 85-90 is enough. Godrick's omen to add 5 to every category. and you can use a buff here or there.
Also it gives you great know how on how weapons actually work.
Yup that's my main reason for higher levels, 55 in everything and yr good to go, master of all trades
The best part of that ssj3 reference with the buffs is that just like ssj3 that dont last long and once is gone your cooked 😂
As a Caster main, blame FromSoft for absolutely refusing to improve Seal/Staff gameplay outside of Spells.
At least DS2 offered Casters the ability to Infuse Catalysts in place of stacking Spell Damage Rings/Talismans.
In DS3/Elden Ring, Catalysts are glorified hotbar items that happen to take up a hand slot.
FromSofts current idea of improving Caster gameplay basically stops at "increases X spell damage"...
As a Max level, and Famous Sleeping Coffin. been playing solo offline since demon souls and dark souls,
I enjoy helping people 😊 So I am on a brake from try harding and taking it easy on elden ring, playing online and I already know I'm all powerful and unleashed the rumbling in elden ring with free full inventory drops!!
At the end of the day, just having fun is what its all about.
I hope all goes well for ya Nick and also love the spartan 1337 mention, and a halo legend 2 or odst show would go absolutely crazy hard.
I'm a strength arcane main. Long time fan. Congrats on 40k subs. The only type that I can think of is the farmer/gatherer. Run into a cave 400 times to collect moss, to sell to a vendor
9:48 Wait . . . . . we're not? . . . . . We don't? That's news to me.
Str/Faith build, Elden Drip, and Max leveler here. I use a Tree Sentinel armor, with Elden Lord Crown, Fingerprint Shield, and Spear of Gransax. As a secondary weapon I use the Sacred Blade off the last boss for AoE and while mounted. Also have same amount of Dex as Strength so it’s really a Strength, Dex, Faith build.
You forgot the Shielders stereotype though. I explore with shield raised high so I can give zero F’s about ambushes or boss tantrums. I am the wall! 😂
i was a natural big bonker when i started playing this game, i somehow found all by myself the perfect big bonker weapons, first the Greataxe, then the Greatsword, then the Giant-Crusher, it was like they really call for you.
What about the duel enthusiats? Either wholesome gigachads or insufferable twats, no in-between
I only need my Starscourge Greatswords and gravity spells to get the job done. Big magic swords just scratches a certain itch
Dude, I’m exhausted from laughing so hard - this video is a gem!
Fashion Soul'er + Bleed + mage + faith + DEX + STR + non-meta(unless it's cool)
I am mix of the above, which is too complex, so you may simply call me a MAX LEVELER.
And yes, I love to be in control the whole game.
You missed the invaders and the gankers! Great video man!
as a caestus main (yes, i run caestus over iron balls) indeed, after accepting them I started to have fun with them.
Just for a little bit of context: I thought it was a great idea to beat DS1 with caestus ON MY FIRST RUN, and pretty much it became the only weapon I'm good at
All the little memes and stuff are gold lol well done 👏😂
I'm usually a Dex Phag, TBH. I started off with the Great Scythe in DKS. Only time I used a STR weapon was in DKS2, because the great scythe move set was erased from the game (and I didn't want to use a Katana) I think I used some bleed, curved swords or something in DKS3, and then in Elden Ring I finally picked up some Katana's, and I dual wielded them all the way up until the DLC.
Now I'm on that big, Chicken Leg. The playstyle is very different, but I am getting into it. I still prefer the faster gameplay though, I am just better with this style.
As someone who doesn't plan on stopping the leveling train through the dlc, I just don't like having runes burning a hole in my pocket when I die too close to a level up lol.
Lore lovers? Thats what brought me into the game! (also playing and finishing DS2 ofc)
Also, Blaidd is a good boi. Glad to have had him during Radahn bossfight
Ah by the way, STR/FTH here (Deus Vult)
I just started playing, and am a mage but I rarely use magic so I switched to ultra magic bonk!
I gotta be the one that casually enjoys dex/int builds with heavy armor and sometimes shields
"friendly nayborhood tarnished" makes me sound like a wallmart spiderman :( lol
I was pleasantly surprised to see Tengen vs Gyutaro as a representation of two dex mains fighting, those two characters are dope asf and its easily my favorite fight in DS.
Yup I’m a head smasher. Stumbled on a dungeon very under leveled, should I have leveled a bit and get more blessings and come back later? Pretty sure it’s optional too. Never, the problem in in front of me and I will solve it even if it kills me.
i'd say you missed 2 first is the jack of all trades that try to be good at everything and keep stats even (so pretty much me) and the ones just in it mess around and have fun they don't care about the story or bosses they just wanna explore and do dumb shit (so again pretty much me)
As a lvl 331 in my first run still: I can confirm. Aside from Consort Radahn? I’m invincible. If this last fight wasn’t a Holy laser disco (I’ve only tried it x3 so far granted) with such a deep hp pool?
I’d do what I did with every other DLC boss: 3 tries or less.
Aka I’d still suggest it. You can have 80MND and then two stats fully at 80/80:
Str Fth? Both 80.
Int Fth? Switch, both 80.
Str, Dex? Switch, both 80.
Etc.
A “smart” person: Buuut buut I bet in PVP you have to…
Me: whoa whoa whoa kid… do you actually think I’m ####ing STUPID enough to pay SONY 15$ a month just for multiplayer access???
Now that’s a joke funnier then any build stereotype.
Honestly deadass, I'm not paying for that.
@@JustAGayIntBuild Since the PS3s launch I told myself, “No one’s stupid enough to pay Sony (later Microsoft) a fixed rate for online access.”
And have quickly realized from 06 or whatever it was later:
“God damn…gamers are stupid.” And have never admitted video games are a hobby of mine in public since knowing the mass stupidity it’s associated with.
That’s definitely how I feel lol 0:25
Stubborn head smashers, never felt more identified in my life. I just CAN'T run from an encounter once i find one, even if i lose 1000 times, I'll keep going
The banker is the most accurate description lol. Don’t think I’ve ever not used a great sword if I had the choice😂
Every time I try something new, sooner or later, I gravitate back to some variation of the strength/faith build. Sometimes just enough strength to carry a greatsword and a decent shield. Sometimes just enough faith to buff my unga bunga. But I usually end up back at the same place.
facts
Mage🙋♀️! 🤣🤣🤣 you described me perfectly
Bro the spot on description of strength faith builds 😂😂😂 I have my AF1s on right now
I'm a fashions souls mage and also an overleveller. And I have about 10 different melee weapons levelled just so I don't need to swap AoWs too often. Plus bow for sneak archer purposes.
Your thoughts on those faith builds is pretty accurate
My character is a faith strength build,
Crimson Hood or Navy Hood
Tree Sentinel Armor
Golden Great Shield (3 different ones with different ashes)
Sword of Night and Flame / Treespear / Troll's Golden Sword
Pulley Bow / Envoy's Longhorn
Clawmark Seal / Golden Order Seal
Various buff, heal, and aid incantations,
Boulder Toss / fire and lightning incantations,
and sometimes plague breath or fly swarm in certain situations.

On March 26th 2022,
just past midnight,
I was restless in bed,
my limbs became numb & tingly,
my chest became tight,
& my heart felt like it was being crushed.
So I sang out to God and Jesus,
about my pain, my feelings,
my faults and my inabilities.
As I sang, I began to feel like a river,
& a hand was on my back,
it's fingers where skimming the surface of the waters,
separating the waters,
causing ripples through my body.
Then the hand reached inside my chest,
lit my heart on fire,
& the heat moved like waves through my body.
When I was done singing,
all the pain was gone,
& I looked at the clock,
it was past 1am,
I had sang near an hour.
Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above,
& there was a hymn of energy in the air,
the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God.
Glory, Honor, blessings, thanks and praise to the Lord my God,
for healing my heart during a heart attack!
Hallelujah to the Lord my God for healing my heart!
Hallelujah for His son Jesus for saving my soul!
Hallelujah for every day!
Hallelujah for every breath!
The Lord is Faithful and true!
May the Lord Bless your hearts,
so that you have the will and strength to turn from selfish sins,
and flee from the slaveries of the flesh!
You forgot the Rat, cheesing every bossfight from atop some perch, while watching your enemy struggle trying to get to you, while slowly suffocate in your poisonous and rotting miasmas. I just finished the dlc, and I only did properly the Messmer bossfight, the others you may ask.... I don't even know what they do. (Bow build)
At that point dont even play the game just watch other people beat it lol
As a fellow Mage build, I approve this message. Let chaos take the world but from like really really far away
All that strength/faith building glazing gon make me fall in love bruh
Fashion Soul'ers on point. Whether I'm kicking ass or I'm the one that gets ass kicking, atleast I look damn cool everytime.
Roleplaying characters as well for additional immersion.
What's favorite new DalC armor set tho
@@SoulKingsss Ansbach and Armor of the Night hands down. Rakshasha's and Dryleaf's armors are awesome too
The PVP Connoisseur, lol that sounds like reminds me of the Onlywaifu channel
I’m Personally Mainly a str/dex build with a bit of int/fai/arc. All across the board.😅
POV your a dex and faith build waiting for your turn as you hear the st/dex
