All 10 DLC Remembrance Boss Weapons Ranked! Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

[@youwy]

I didn't want to cover all the remembrance items because between all my other ranking videos they have been covered except for the Staff of the Great Beyond. I'll be making another video to rank all Seals and Staves where that will be included.

How would you compare staff of the great beyond to the other weapons?

[@thereisnospoon7054]

Why you’ll just say the staff is “mid” cause of incant scaling and pay no mind to the fact it makes the game more fun to play…. Cause that’s all you do with these rankings is brain dead meta hump based on numbers and not actually playing the game

[@chancefranklin3062]

My guess is that because radahn himself is not holy and is instead a more intelligence based boss with his gravity magic. He gets holy from miquella which we don’t have a miquella on our back. Don’t ask me y we get the skill tho, that’s just my thought at the reasoning behind the weird scalings

[@falseheadgossip1700]

black flame tornado AoW trivializes all of these, even the npc sized/behaving bosses in the nameless mausoleums. they will roll into or just walk into the startup every time and don’t roll out of being knocked over by the end explosion. easy chain stagger to death every time with stamina regen tools. even in the group npc fights it’s disgusting

[@ToasterDsG]

@@horrificbeauty1666 its mostly because of him testing the weapons at rl150 instead of rl200 or even rl250. A lot of the dlc weapons feel like they're meant for higher levels than the arbitrary 150. For instance, the Putrescent cleaver has some of highest ar in class when hitting the soft caps for stats; the fact that theres multiple new spells that go far beyond the imposed soft caps just kinda tell you that the dlc is designed for higher level play. Rellana's twin blades go up to 1460 ar with 40 str and dex plus 60 in both int and fth straight up the best in its class in the dlc. Also reminder, there's multiple videos on here that prove that split damage isnt as bad at all anymore; many times just being overall better; especially if you abuse enemy weaknesses.

Something cool you can try with the rellana sword is that since rellana’s sword can be on either hand, you can use the milady on the other hand with a focus on magic or fire depending on which hand you put the sword on , and you get the normal light greatsword powerstance moveset. So if you’re against an enemy who’s fire weak, you can put the sword on the left hand, and put a flame infusion milady on the right hand. Or if you prefer magic, you can infuse the milady with cold or magic and put it on the left hand, and you can still use the stance ash of war on the main hand with the magic half of rellana’s swords

[@slaper12x]

Little bit of advice on Rellana's Twin Blades, the physical damage benefits the most from strength and dex while the ash of war benefits pretty much exclusively from faith and intelligence. On high faith and intelligence the ash of war hits like a Mack truck, I've seen the heavy L2 do well over 6K damage on an optimized build and the light L2 can hit even harder with the appropriate stats and talismans in place. It's definitely a weapon that requires an absurdly high level if you want to truly see it's power shine but once you do good god is it nigh unstoppable to anything and everything especially targets weak to magic or flame. I was testing it out on NG++ on my level 400 character and was just ripping through bosses and minibosses in the Lands of Shadow like they were made of wet tissue paper it's a beast

[@Spike2276]

I played with a max magic dmg set up at 99 int and the light projectiles were just usable, but definetly not unstoppable or god-tier in damage. I wasn't soft-capping many stats (i had only 35 faith and 27 str), but i was on normal NG, so it should be even stronger there.

Somthing also important to note with Spear of the Impaler, the charged heavy attack does a fire explosion, which is also possible while riding torrent. idk why but i find this weapons move set to actually be incredibly OP atm. not only is it a great spear, which means the new shield wall build is probably meta right now.

Poleblade of the Bud was what I used to defeat Radahn since I wanted to try and force an arcane build. Perfume bottles wearn't working well for me since I never found rolling sparks. I ended up beating Radahn 2-handing the Bud and just trying to desperately learn to roll through his attacks. WIthout summons/ashes took me like 60-80 attempts and the scarlet rot never even went off during phase 2 since he was so resistant and I was playing safe so that whole idea went to waste.

Dude, it's a sword LANCE. Ofc it's gonna share moves with the lance.

It's like getting served the best slice of cheesecake in the world, but you're just not happy about it because there wasn't a cherry on top. It's absolutely dominating in pvp as well. It has a guaranteed follow up on it's (hyper armor) heavy. Try putting cragblade on it, and check out the ridiculous amount of damage you can pump out with it. Genuinely one of the best weapons in the dlc.

It’s not good. They need to remove the 15 second timer for that buff. It already takes long enough to gain the buff and it goes away after using the skill so I don’t understand why it needs a timer.

Not that far into the game but honestly have felt the same about most of the "Named" items including things like Rakshasa's Great Katana. Like why would I ever use that when I could use the normal Great Katana, get really good scaling off Heavy or Keen, give it a sick ash of war, AND buff it with bloodflame?

Completly disagree with the Radahn's greatswords (Lord), that one must be higher since it does massive damage with the combo and completly deletes big bosses, and even with smaller enemies it can stun them and make good damage since the range is pretty good.

I added hitbox to the 'first couple of swings' of Messmer's Assault. And it would be REALLY strong. Its doing literally twice as much dmg, from my testing.

If these two things are missing it wont do any dmg. Thats a very simple explonation, but I dont wanna go into things.

[@saawysorenson4585]

I think a lot of these can be quite easily fixed with just a couple numbers tweaks, like most of the dlc spells which just need better damage/speed/hyper-armour, but what really bothers me is the Radahn greatswords which are just weird and stupid, they really should get merged into one weapon, which just wont happen, and the fact that the final ER boss weapon is just copypasted Starscourde PGS is gotta be the saddest thing ever.

But considering the small list of extremely impactful characters they could have used (Godwyn, Gloam-Eyed Queen, or hell, just Miquella himself), Radahn seems like an odd choice -- and it's not like anything hinted at him ever being Miquella's "promised consort" in the vanilla game. His Remembrance weapons being absolute filler is the rotten cherry on top.

Spear of the impaler is such a letdown. It’s objectively worse not having a standard r2, the aow does great damage but has horrible tracking, and the final hit has so many recovery frames that’s it’s not worth using most of the time. I can’t even get a riposte on Steven if the final aow explosion staggers him, as the recovery frames won’t allow me to r1 in time. I’m surprised you even put it in A, though I guess a very low A might be appropriate if only for the damage on the aow.

One really annoying thing about rellanas twin blades that made me stop using it is the power stance moveset on the light great swords. The second attack after u roll does a weird double slash and the first part of the double slash does almost no damage and the second part often gets interrupted. It actually made it so annoying to try and get more than 1 hit in with a rolling attack on the power stance moveset because it would do almost no damage or have an animation that takes the duration of two attacks even though I only pressed once. I just switched to the milady and it feels much more comfortable to use.
